Chapter 143 Checkmate (1)
The grievance between them was so deep, so deep that it was unable to be resolved even with the death and had reached to the point where it was now.
Emperor Jinghui turned to look at Lin Qing. Lin Qing showed confusion and fear on his face as if he had never expected Situ Yaohua to make such a request.
Emperor Jinghui sighed helplessly and comforted Lin Qing, “Don’t worry, he wouldn’t do anything to you. He is zhen’s son. Even if he had committed a grave mistake, he wouldn’t do anything that will be harmful to the imperial prestige. Zhen will wait outside for you.”
Zhen: I, used by the emperor.Emperor Jinghui was pushed away. Lin Qing and Situ Yaohua fell silent after hearing those words. Situ Yaohua’s hand on the dragon chair tightened and tightened. Finally, he released his hold. Lin Qing remained silent.
Situ Yaohua couldn’t help but finally sneer and his gaze revealed ridicule and disdain. At this time, Lin Qing looked up at him in all seriousness.
Won’t do anything harmful to the imperial prestige?
This sentence has left Lin Qing and Situ Yaohua speechless for a while. Emperor Jinghui could actually say such a thing with confidence about a crown prince who betrayed the monarch and the father. They didn’t know where his confidence came from. Did he believe in Situ Yaohua or himself?
“Now, there are only you and me here,” Situ Yaohua said while looking mockingly at Lin Qing. Lin Qing’s tall and slender figure was facing the hall’s entrance with his back. The sunlight penetrated from behind and pulled out a long shadow, making him appear gloomy and indifferent.
“What does Your Highness the crown prince wants to say to this subject?” Lin Qing asked expressionlessly. Since it had come to this, the two of them didn’t need to disguise themselves anymore. The former flattery and politeness had disappeared. Only indifference and hostility were left.
Situ Yaohua slowly walked down from the seat high above and said mockingly, “Emperor father didn’t leave anyone for you. It shows that you are always a slave in his heart. This fact won’t change no matter what you do. Lin Qing, I want to kill you.”
“Remember, no matter how capable you are, you are nothing but a eunuch who is looked down, despised and cursed by everyone. You are nothing!”
“Even if I die, what about it? I am still Great Liang’s crown prince in the annals of my imperial household. The former crown prince! Respectable and glorious! You can’t even compare to a fingertip of mine!”
Situ Yaohua’s voice was cold and heart-piercing, but what he said was not wrong. No matter how much Lin Qing wins, he still lost. No matter how capable he is, he is still a loser. The kind that can’t change their fate for his whole life.
Lin Qing’s eyes dimmed and he looked coldly at Situ Yaohua in front of him. Situ Yaohua was very happy. He just wanted to humiliate the person in front of him. He was about to die, so he didn’t care about exposing the bad side of his character. Since humiliating Lin Qing could make him happy, why shouldn’t he do it?
“You still don’t know, right,” Situ Yaohua said with a strange light in his eyes. “Just today, I have let people burn your residence down to celebrate the enthronement ceremony. Would you say that your favorite thing had all been burned?
Lin Qing abruptly raised his head and stared at Situ Yaohua, “Your Highness the crown prince! You went overboard!”
Lin Qing had never expected that Situ Yaohua would do such a thing. He actually sent someone to burn his whole residence. What was the point? Could this be his way to retaliate?
Before Situ Yaohua could make the next move, a small eunuch who had been hiding next to Lin Qing, suddenly stopped in front of Lin Qing and pulled Lin Qing behind her. Her eyes shot coldly at Situ Yaohua. It was for no other reason than the gleam of silver light in Situ Yaohua’s cuff.
She didn’t expect that the dignified crown prince of Great Liang actually wanted to kill someone personally. This made her angry and cold. The person who stood in front of Lin Qing was naturally Zhao Zimu.
When Situ Yaohua saw her, he was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh strangely, “Lin Qing, do you think that I will give up like this? I can’t live on, you must also die today!”
Situ Yaohua had made no secret of his thought. The dagger in his cuff rose suddenly. A kick went to the small eunuch who was in front of Lin Qing and he raised the sharp dagger in his hand towards Lin Qing.
The Confucian Six arts of a nobleman, rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and reckoning, were something the children of the imperial household must study. Of course, that they were taught these was not to let all of these dragon’s sons and daughterd become a person of noble character. It was just to let them be more grandeur in comparison with others. Because they were from the imperial household, they must be more outstanding than everyone!
Such an education sure enough didn’t groom a person of noble character. Every prince more or less should possess some martial arts. Situ Yaohua was confident that with his ability, he would definitely be able to kill Lin Qing.
He wanted Lin Qing to die with him!
