Chapter 10
"You all go down."
Wei Linping retreated the others in the house, and before Chen Shuo left, he silently dragged away Xu Ling's body on the ground.
After everyone left and only him and Sheng Qing were left in the huge dormitory, Wei Lin walked to the bed and looked coldly at Sheng Qing who was hugging the quilt and curled up by the bed.
"His Majesty……"
Seeing Wei Lin approaching with a cold face, Sheng Qing tightened his hands and pulled the quilt, only showing a pair of clear and beautiful eyes, calling Wei Lin cautiously.
Sheng Qing has always been able to observe words and expressions. Seeing that although Wei Lin's face is cold, he is not sullen, so he knows that things will turn around, and he can still hold on.
Seeing Sheng Qing's appearance at this time, most of the anger in Wei Lin's heart disappeared.
I know I have a guilty conscience, and I'm still pretty well-behaved.
"Why did you lie to me?"
Although the anger in his heart dissipated, Wei Lin still questioned Sheng Qing with a cold face.
"I... I'm just scared and don't want to be cut off."
Sheng Qing lowered his head, continued to maintain the poor little white flower character, and whispered.
"If you don't want to have your hands cut off, you can lie to me. Do you know the price of lying to me? Those who dared to lie to me before you are all dead, and there are no dead bodies."
Wei Lin's expression was calm and he said something that made Sheng Qing's hair stand on end, as if those dead people were not people, but insignificant ants.
Hearing Wei Lin's words, Sheng Qing cursed 'tyrant' in his heart, but pretended to be frightened and kept backing away, until he shrank to the corner of the bed and was unable to retreat, hiding under the quilt.
Seeing Sheng Qing's frightened appearance, Wei Lin frowned dissatisfiedly. He didn't like that Sheng Qing was afraid of him.
For this reason, Wei Lin calmed down, and said in a soft tone as much as possible: "I told you to kill Xu Ling, why didn't you do it? If you kill him, you don't have to be cut off, and you don't have to deceive the king."
Thinking of Xu Ling calling Sheng Qing's name before his death, regardless of past life or present life, Wei Lin felt like a stick in his throat.
She is obviously a ruthless demon queen, but she said that she dare not kill anyone, who would believe it!It was clear that he just didn't want Xu Ling to die.
"Yes, I don't want to kill Xu Ling."
Sheng Qing seemed to muster up his courage, and said loudly with sobs.
Hearing Sheng Qing choked up and uttered these words, Wei Lin's suppressed hostility could not help but surge out.
Ah?Is this admitted?
He admitted that he was reluctant to let Xu Ling die, and even lied to him in order not to let Xu Ling die!
Although he had already expected what Sheng Qing was thinking, when Sheng Qing really admitted it, Wei Lin still felt a little sore in his heart. He didn't know why he felt this way, it was something he had never felt in two lifetimes .
He was obviously angry but couldn't vent it, he could only be stuffy in his heart, so stuffy that his chest throbbed and swelled.
"But I didn't kill Xu Ling because of my children."
Hearing Sheng Qing's words, Wei Lin, who was sulking alone, was stunned, for the child?
Wei Lin suddenly felt no pain in his heart, no tightness in his chest, and looked at Sheng Qing to signal him to continue.
"Your Majesty, I know that I have done a lot of bad things with the late emperor before, and my sins are serious. People like me will probably go to hell after death."
Sheng Qing hid the tears in the corners of his eyes and sobbed.
"Don't say such things."
Wei Lin was a little surprised when he heard Sheng Qing say that he knew he had done something wrong, and heard Sheng Qing say that he would go to hell after death, so he couldn't help frowning. As long as he doesn't allow it, the King of Hades can't take Sheng Qing away!
"Now that I have lived and died several times, I have long been indifferent to those glory and power. I just want to give birth to my child safely. As for not killing Xu Ling, it is just to stop increasing the evil fruits on my body. It can be regarded as accumulating virtue for this child. .”
Sheng Qing burst into tears as he spoke, while stroking his still flat abdomen, looking at his abdomen which was so gentle that it was unbelievable.
After listening to Sheng Qing's words, and then looking at the young man who seemed to have a maternal halo all over his body, Wei Lin was dumbfounded, and his eyes on Sheng Qing's belly couldn't help softening, that was also his child...
Wei Lin stretched out his hand by his side, as if he wanted to touch Sheng Qing's stomach, but in the end reason overcame his impulse and he didn't move.
"I know, don't cry."
However, in just one night, Sheng Qing had already cried many times, and her eyes, which were originally radiant, were swollen from crying. Wei Lin didn't want Sheng Qing to cry.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Qing didn't stop, but cried even harder. Wei Lin was a little at a loss when the young man was weeping. He didn't know if he said something wrong to make the young man cry like this.
Wei Lin tried to stretch out his thumb to wipe away the teardrops from the corners of Sheng Qing's eyes, but before Wei Lin's hand touched Sheng Qing, the young man suddenly knelt on the bed and said, "Your Majesty, actually, I have one more thing to hide from Your Majesty." .”
Wei Lin quickly withdrew his hand, and looked at Sheng Qing puzzled, what else could he hide from him, did he have something else to do with Xu Ling!
"Actually... the minister's child is not the dragon heir of the former emperor."
Sheng Qing's voice was as small as a mosquito. After saying this, Sheng Qing secretly observed Wei Lin's expression, planning to play by ear.
Since he decided to stand on the hero's boat for the time being, he must gain the hero's trust and let the hero see his value, but now he has no power and no power, and he has humiliated the hero before. As in the movie, there is a system that can see the hero's favorability for him, Sheng Qing believes that it must be a negative number.
So he had to come up with a bargaining chip that could make Wei Lin believe in him and make Wei Lin feel valuable, and his only and biggest bargaining chip now is this child who is in name the late emperor.
Wei Lin is now in the early stages of usurping the throne, and the throne will certainly not be comfortable. In the original book, the old emperor did not have the so-called "posthumous child" in his stomach. Wei Lin was scolded every day as a traitor. Now he has the child of the former emperor. , there must be more people who can't understand Wei Lin.
Wei Lin should be annoyed by this obstacle in his stomach, but if Wei Lin knows that this obstacle does not actually exist, but can be used temporarily, isn't it...
Sheng Qing struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally made up his mind to tell Wei Lin that it was a gamble!
If you win the bet, you can gain temporary safety and the trust of the male protagonist. If you lose, you will be dealt with secretly by Wei Lin. Anyway, as long as there is this child, Wei Lin will definitely not let him go in the end!
Sheng Qing waited for a long time but did not hear Wei Lin's voice, and Wei Lin's face was not as surprised as he imagined. Sheng Qing felt a little uneasy. Is this tyrant considering the truth of what he said?Will he believe it?
In fact, Wei Lin was not thinking about the truth of what Sheng Qing said. After all, he knew who Sheng Qing's child belonged to.
He was just a little stunned, he didn't expect Sheng Qing to tell him such an important matter, does this mean that in Sheng Qing's heart he is very trustworthy.
This conclusion made Wei Lin raise the corner of his mouth slightly, but what Sheng Qing said next made his expression freeze.
"Your Majesty, I assure you that I will not use this child to collude with foreign ministers to cause chaos. I will always stand by Your Majesty's side. I only hope that when Your Majesty is in power, let me and this child live together."
Seeing that Wei Lin didn't respond, Sheng Qing thought that Wei Lin still had doubts, so he continued to say these words to show his intention to stand in line.
Sheng Qing's words were very straightforward, and he almost wrote "I would like to be loyal to His Majesty" on his face. Everyone understands what he means, let alone people like Wei Lin.
It's just that after hearing Sheng Qing's words, Wei Lin showed disappointment on his face. It turned out that the ultimate purpose of going around was this. In Sheng Qing's mind, there was such an image of killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Seeing that Wei Lin's complexion sank a little after he said these words of loyalty, Sheng Qing's heart was full of alarm bells. Did he say something wrong just now that touched the tyrant's scales?
"I got it." Wei Lin said coldly, before turning around and leaving.
Sheng Qing was confused by Wei Lin's ambiguous attitude, why was it completely different from what he thought.
Shouldn't it be normal that the male protagonist of the career batch learned that the child in his belly was not the former emperor's, and decided to use this to cooperate with him and move to the group of courtiers who opposed him?
Wei Lin, what does this mean?
Before Sheng Qing could finish wondering, Wei Lin who had just walked to the door suddenly turned back and walked in front of Sheng Qing, whose aura startled Sheng Qing.
Sheng Qing thought that Wei Lin wanted him to keep his mouth shut and not to speak out about the child, or he would cut his tongue and other cruel words.
Unexpectedly, Wei Lin stared at Sheng Qing's face and said very solemnly: "From now on, you are not allowed to be a minister in front of me!"
Sheng Qing's mouthful of 'subject' just now made him very upset, when did he want Sheng Qing to be his subject!
