Chapter 26: Treat With Gentleness

Zhao Zimu laughed. Her low chuckle entered his ears. She lay directly on his chest with her back facing everyone. She opened his purple robe and in a posture that no one could see, the warm lips sucked on the delicate skin there. Lin Qing's inhaled a sharp breath and almost couldn't sit still. Fortunately, Zhao Zimu noticed his condition in time and stopped her action to avoid the embarrassment of the two of them.

Zhao Zimu suddenly smiled a bit helplessly and returned to her usual elegance and indifference. Lin Qing was taken aback. Looking at Lin Qing's stunned expression, Zhao Zimu smiled and said, "If you want, I will give you everything I have."

Lin Qing inexplicably almost spoke out what he was thinking. If he asked whether she would give him only, would she give? However, he wouldn't ask.

Zhao Zimu was not in a hurry. What she has was time. However, Zhao Zimu had always been fickle in love. If Lin Qing never let go of his line of defense, then, it could only be regarded that the two were not fated to be together.

After the banquet, Lin Qing also didn't know for what reason he also gave Ye Qianqian and some other beauties to Situ Wenrui. But no matter for what reason, to Situ Wenrui, it wasn't something bad. It was just a few beauties who wouldn't be able to cause big ripples. Situ Wenrui was extremely happy and even felt that Lin Qing was trying to curry his favor which made him feel as if he was elated.

In the evening, Lin Qing's room was already brightly lit. The scent of the incense filled the room. Zhao Zimu came uninvited and no one stopped her.

Jia Yi and Jia Er who were guarding outside of the door felt that the woman who slowly walked to here from a distance while carrying a lantern was very different. Why didn't they feel that before but felt now that the somewhat familiar beauty was suddenly so unfamiliar?

Zhao Zimu didn't let Ling Er follow and there was also no need to let her follow. Besides, the little girl was making a lot of fuss these days causing her to have headache.

She put down the lantern in her hand and opened the door to Lin Qing's room. A sword suddenly came at her neck. Zhao Zimu frowned and closed the door with a kick, but she didn't dodge the sword.

The sword stopped when it touched Zhao Zimu's neck. A thin red thread emerged from her neck, overflowing with a strand of blood.

"Not dodging?" Lin Qing asked.

"Qiansui knows martial arts?" Zhao Zimu asked in surprise.

Lin Qing didn't spoke and only looked at her in silence. Naturally, Lin Qing knew martial arts. He has high authority and was hated by many people. Naturally he had to learn some self-defense. It was just that he wasn't as skilled at those experts.

Zhao Zimu pushed the sword on her neck, but wasn't able to push it away. She frowned slightly. Her fingertips used a bit force. The fine flesh of the fingertips broke open and some dark red blood appeared. Lin Qing's heart beat slightly. With a dull face, he withdrew the sword.

Zhao Zimu silently went to a chair, sat down and asked, "Do you have a handkerchief?" The tone was natural and familiar. Lin Qing silently handed her a clean handkerchief. Zhao Zimu took it and casually wiped the bloodstains on her hand and her neck.

Lin Qing asked, "Do you need to apply medicine?"

Zhao Zimu expressed affirmation with her eyes. Lin Qing took out a salve from a box. Zhao Zimu smiled once. From one glance, she knew that this medicine was for the use of the emperor.

As soon as the jade bottle was opened, there was a pleasant fragrance. Zhao Zimu applied it to her body. Lin Qing looked at a side without saying anything.

Zhao Zimu didn't wait for him to say something and took the initiative to ask softly, "I will be going out on a long trip soon. It may take a while before I come back. You...don't have to be worried."

Lin Qing's expression immediately darkened. He grabbed her lapels and said, "Who do you think you are to talk to me like this?! Why do you think that I won't do anything to you? Also, what did you take Qiansui's residence for? You can leave just because you want? It wouldn't be that easy! Tell me, where does your confidence come from?!"

Looking at the furious person in front of her who also had a trace of panic in him that was not easily detectable, Zhao Zimu's heart suddenly softened. She directly grabbed his waist and let him sit on her lap.

"You...you...!" He didn't know whether it is from anger, shame, panic, annoyance or fury. All of Lin Qing's emotions seemed to have overflowed and grouped together. He is the dignified Jiu Qiansui. How could he be in such a state?!

"Behave!" Zhao Zimu firmly imprisoned him with both hand and prevented him from struggling. She promised, "I will just go out for ten days or so and will definitely come back. Really, I...won't lie to you."

Zhao Zimu felt that instead of letting Lin Qing not to be worried, it was better to promise that she wouldn't lie to him. How could she had discovered that this person was a bit unconfident? He is the dignified Jiu Qiansui, but she happened to see such an emotion from him and it was only targeting at her, making Zhao Zimu a bit silent.

"Where are you going? Let my people follow you." Lin Qing said quietly. He no longer struggled. Only his tone was that of not tolerating to be rejected.

"Don't act up. I will just go out for a short while and come back." Zhao Zimu helpless. She didn't want to be followed.

Lin Qing said coldly, "Zhao Zimu, you have entered the residence for three years and had always known your place and behave well. However, now you are being so intimate with me. Do you really think that I can't see your change? I don't know what your motive is. You didn't explain anything to this Qiansui, but want to let me trust you. What kind of reasoning is that? I have high authority and is only below one person. What is it that you want that I can't give you? Now, you want to leave me. I won't allow it!"

Zhao Zimu looked at him silently and called softly, "Lin Qing."

The tone was low and gentle. However, this call made Lin Qing's eyes hurt a bit and he kept staring at her stubbornly.

At the court, he fought over wits and ruthlessness with people. In the palace, everything was smooth and slick. Except the emperor, he is above ten thousand people. His name would let people be terror-stricken and would leave children crying. But why couldn't he leave a stroke or trace in her heart? He wanted to become her sky and become her everything.

It didn't matter if one said that he is abnormal or deranged. No matter what, he wouldn't let go.

Zhao Zimu only hugged him and quietly felt his warmth. The two people who each had a load in their mind didn't say anything. Until when the both of them were numb did Zhao Zimu said, "Would you like to sleep?"

"Would you attend?" Ling Qing asked.

"Okay." Zhao Zimu directly carried him to the bed.

"Let me down!" Lin Qing was shocked and angry. Sure enough, she knows martial arts. Otherwise, how would she be able to carry a big man?!

He was just about to ask when he heard Zhao Zimu say calmly, "What you see is the real me. I'm willing to let you know everything about me. So..." Don't be afraid. Zhao Zimu's gaze was indescribable gentle.
