After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Chapter 101 Drinking Together
Just as Mu Jingzhao entered the back room, he was startled by the messy scene in front of him.

On the food debris scattered all over the place beside the dining table, the imperial guards were lying in disorder, all with reddish cheeks and blurred eyes, like bugs scattered all over the place.

Lin Zheng was the only one standing behind the dining table with a straight figure, his eyes were clear, and his eyes showed the usual indifference and alienation.

The two looked at each other from a distance across a dining table.

Lin Zheng cupped his hands and saluted, "I pay my respects to the emperor."

Despite Lin Zheng's words, the people present still acted as if they hadn't heard it, and were unconscious.

There were even a few inaudible grunting sounds in the room.

One of the imperial guards turned over with blurred eyes, and looked at Mu Jingzhao above his head with blurred eyes.

"I seem to be dreaming of the emperor, and the title of official and noble is just around the corner."

He uttered such a sentence vaguely, and hesitantly raised his hand to grab the corner of Mu Jingzhao's clothes.

When Mu Jingzhao saw the hand full of food residues, his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his leg and kicked at the opponent's wrist.

There was a bone cracking sound from the wrist of the imperial guard, and the whole wrist was tilted to one side.He let out a scream.

"Who doesn't have eyes—"

Just now, after cursing two words, he saw Mu Jingzhao in front of him. He was shocked and struggled to get up, even half sober from the wine.

"Greetings, greetings to the emperor—" he raised his voice and shouted.

Hearing the words, everyone in the room turned over and fell to their knees.

"You want to be named an official and a noble, huh?"

The corner of Mu Jingzhao's mouth curled into a weird smile, and he tilted his head to look at the imperial guards in front of him.

The Imperial Guard trembled all over, and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty forgive me, it's just nonsense that I uttered while drunk, it can't be true, it can't be true!"

The Imperial Guard spoke incoherently, with beads of sweat already dripping from his forehead.

"Oh, what? You said drunk?" Mu Jingzhao's voice turned into a strange arc, "Tell me, if the imperial guards are drunk while on duty, what should they do?"

The guard trembled even more, but he still couldn't help defending himself, "Today, I shouldn't be on duty today."

"Oh—" Mu Jingzhao nodded as if waking up from a dream, "So, it's normal to drink too much in the backyard of the palace wall?"

The Praetorian stopped talking, his lips trembling.The whole person almost fell to the ground.

"However, I am not such a small-hearted person. Since you have asked for an official title and title from me, then I will grant your wish."

The guard's trembling back froze, and he looked up at Mu Jingzhao with a mixed expression of surprise and joy.

However, Mu Jingzhao didn't look at him, but just looked up at Lin Zheng not far in front of him.

"Immediately, I will be expelled from the palace gate, and I will never be allowed to step into the palace gate again." He slightly parted his lips, "In a country, there are people first, and then there is a monarch. Letting you become a commoner can be regarded as a seal for you." The official has been honored."

The imperial guard stared blankly for a moment, then struggled to get up.

"Chen, no, the common people know."

The imperial guard stumbled towards the outside of the house, and everyone present showed panic, and everyone was in danger.

Lin Zheng frowned, he bit his lips, but he still couldn't say a word.

Mu Jingzhao glanced at all the people present, and said in an indifferent voice, "Everyone except Commander Lin, they will be beaten with fifty sticks, and I will clean up my appearance before receiving the punishment!"

Everyone ran away in a hurry, only Mu Jingzhao and Lin Zheng were left in the room.

"Ah Zheng." Mu Jingzhao's voice softened a little. He looked at Lin Zheng with a friendly expression, as if he was treating an ordinary brother, "You see these people being punished because of you, how do you feel?"

Lin Zheng's brows and eyes were still indifferent, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.

"not my business."

Mu Jingzhao was startled, and then burst out laughing. He really wasn't surprised by such an answer.

"Ah Zheng, we two brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time, why don't we take advantage of today and have a good drink."

Only then did Lin Zheng's expression fluctuate a bit. He frowned slightly and hesitantly squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Your Majesty..."

Mu Jingzhao smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, just tidy up a little bit, I'll wait for you at the old place."

At the same time, Jiang Ning took Zhe Liu into the gate of Shuanghua Palace. In fact, at the beginning, Zhe Liu didn't realize that he had gone to tell Jiang Ning that the original intention of the imperial concubine's summoning was just an excuse to stop the farce .

And by the time she reacted, it was too late.

The eunuch Xiao Yuanzi, who was guarding the gate, saw Jiang Ning with a look of surprise on his face, then he turned his head and shouted sharply into the room, "Mother, Concubine Ning is here——"

Hearing the sound, Meng Yin opened the veil at the door and walked up quickly, "Your Majesty, what's the matter for you to come to see our Majesty?"

Jiang Ning glanced at Zhe Liu beside him with an inexplicable expression, "Didn't the imperial concubine say she wanted to see me?"

The lie was exposed, Zheliu coughed twice in embarrassment, and then blinked at Mengyin.

Mengyin immediately understood, "Yes, I'm too busy today, I almost forgot. Madam, please come in."

Jiang Ning nodded, she quickly straightened her messy hair and the corners of her skirt, and then followed Mengyin into the palace.

In the hall, Liu Jinfu was sitting alone in front of the hall. Hearing the movement, she raised her head and saw Jiang Ning, with a look of joy on her face, "You're here, girl." The moment she saw Jiang Ning, Xiumei frowned slightly, and the corners of her mouth But it evoked a somewhat weird smile.

"What did you do, why are you in such a mess?"

Jiang Ning brushed her broken hair back indiscriminately, and sat down beside Liu Jinfu with a face of helplessness, "This, the concubine can't tell for a while."

"You still smell of alcohol?" Liu Jinfu chuckled and poured Jiang Ning a cup of tea, "You are really interesting, girl."

Jiang Ning was not polite either, picked up the glass Liu Jinfu handed over and drank it, "Let's not talk about that, what's the matter with you looking for me today, ma'am?"

"I didn't—" Liu Jinfu just said a few words, but was blocked by Zheliu's eyes. She nodded inaudibly, and smiled with lowered eyes, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to care about you." How is your body?"

Jiang Ning didn't ask why Liu Jinfu didn't come to visit this loophole in person, she just nodded slightly and smiled brightly, "I'm fine, I'm strong, I don't even have a cold! It's amazing!"

Liu Jinfu was amused by Jiang Ning's childish appearance, "You girl is really lucky."

However, such a sentence seemed to bring back some bad memories for Jiang Ning. She sighed lightly, "It's also a good thing that I have a great fortune, otherwise my life will probably be ruined here today."
