Chapter 103
Lin Zheng nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said softly, "That's not the emperor's fault."

Mu Jingzhao laughed, tilted his body, and fell down on the stone table in the center of the pavilion. His movements were exactly the same as Jiang Ning who fell asleep preparing for the wedding a few days ago.

Mu Jingzhao was lying on the table, his eyes narrowed into slits, as if he had entered a half-dream and half-awake state.

Lin Zheng didn't speak any more, he just drank one cup after another in silence.

The face of Jiang Ning crying hoarsely in the fire three years ago overlapped with the face of struggling and crying for help last night.

A little sad expression gradually appeared on his face, he casually picked up the wine glass at hand and drank it one after another.

There is also a bit of confusion in the eyes.

Lin Zheng thought in a daze, what if he was a little slower to react last night?What is the use of giving the bone whistle to Jiang Ning?

Then, he also lay down on the stone table, as if he had fallen into sleep in a daze.

It is not an exaggeration for Mu Jingzhao to say that he can drink three cups, but Lin Zheng himself, although he has a slightly better drinking capacity, but he has already had a drink with Jiang Ning and others today, and now he has another drink. Can't stop.

So the two of them just tandem, drunk and unconscious.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Jingzhao's body trembled violently. He stood up slowly and looked around, as if to confirm where he was.

In the end, his eyes slowly fixed on Lin Zheng beside him, he squinted his eyes, as if he was carefully thinking about who this person was.

He stood up crookedly, and staggered two steps towards Lin Zheng.

"You—" just now he said a word, and he fell down in the direction of Lin Zheng as if he was weightless.

The body's subconscious reaction made Mu Jingzhao subconsciously hug Lin Zheng tightly, but unexpectedly, this action woke Lin Zheng up instantly.

Lin Zheng looked around with misty eyes, then followed the direction of the movement, and saw Mu Jingzhao in his arms.

At this moment, Mu Jingzhao fell to the ground with his arms around Lin Zheng's waist, and buried his face face down in Lin Zheng's arms.

He was a little confused, and then a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

"It's you—" He raised his hand and was about to touch the top of Mu Jingzhao's head. His tone and movements were gentle as if he was treating a long-lost lover.

"Would you blame me?" His hand stopped not far from Mu Jingzhao's hair, "Blame me for going too late, for not keeping my word, for failing to protect you."

There was a hint of disappointment in his tone, and the hand that stayed in the air kept reaching towards Mu Jingzhao's hair.

"I'm sorry." Just when his palm was about to stick to Mu Jingzhao's hair, Mu Jingzhao suddenly turned over in his arms, raised his hand and slapped Lin Zheng's face without hesitation.

Mu Jingzhao showed a little frightened expression, struggling to back away, "It's you, it's you who want to murder me!"

After being slapped suddenly, Lin Zheng didn't move at all. He looked at Mu Jingzhao in front of him with a little more sadness in his eyes.

"Are you blaming me?" He lowered his head and his shoulders slowly slid down.

Mu Jingzhao staggered back a few steps, with undisguised resentment in his eyes, "Strange! Of course I blame you! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, you just want me to betray my relatives and have nothing, right?!"

A bit of panic appeared in Lin Zheng's eyes, he slowly approached Mu Jingzhao, helplessly as if stepping on cotton every step, and almost fell down every step he took.

"No, that's not the case. Leyin, listen to me, this is not our original intention."

Mu Jingzhao clenched his teeth, and he stared at Lin Zheng with undisguised hatred in his eyes.

"It wasn't your intention? Did you put me in danger many times? Did you almost kill me many times? You should all go to hell for me!"

The love and affection in Lin Zheng's eyes not only did not dissipate with the gnashing of teeth, but became more intense. He took two steps forward and pulled Mu Jingzhao into his arms. His voice was soft, and he pressed his palm again and again. She caressed Mu Jingzhao's hair, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I promise that such a thing will never happen again."

"Pa—" Another loud slap landed on Lin Zheng's face, and Lin Zheng was staggered two steps by the slap, and was forced to let go of Mu Jingzhao's hand.

Mu Jingzhao's eyes were scarlet, and the only trace of reason left in those eyes was washed away.

"Is it useful to say I'm sorry? It's you! It's you who betrayed me so easily. It's you who, on the surface, are obedient to me, but put a knife in my heart!" Mu Jingzhao staggered back After taking two steps, there was a hint of crying in that hoarse voice.

With such a shout, it seemed that Lin Zheng's rationality was instantly recalled, "Your Majesty?"

However, at this moment Mu Jingzhao had already fallen into chaos. He covered his face with his hands, and sat down a little dejectedly.

"Why, why did you betray me?"

Just when Lin Zheng was at a loss, Li Zinian hurried over, he lifted the curtain, and saw Mu Jingzhao sitting slumped on the ground at a glance.

He turned pale with fright, and trotted forward to meet him, "Hey, my long live lord, why are you so drunk!"

Li Zinian squatted on the ground and gently pushed Mu Jingzhao who was on the ground, but found that the other party had already fallen into a coma.

Li Zinian put Mu Jingzhao's hand on his shoulder and tried to pull him up, but Mu Jingzhao was too deep in sleep, and when he pulled back, Li Zinian immediately fell to the ground.

As a last resort, he could only look up at Lin Zheng in front of him as if asking for help.

After such a fuss, Lin Zheng was already half sober from the wine, he nodded, then helped Mu Jingzhao up, and sent him back to the cold palace.

Outside the Shuanghua Palace, Jiang Ning walked out of the Shuanghua Palace under Meng Yin's watch. For a whole afternoon, Jiang Ning and Liu Jinfu chatted together, chatting about the inside and outside of the palace, about the past, about the future, and at the end of the chat, she After lunch in Shuanghua Palace, Liu Jinfu reluctantly let her go and told her to come back next time.

Before leaving, Liu Jinfu specially asked the guards in the palace to escort Jiang Ning to leave, but was rejected.

She really didn't want to be followed inseparably by unfamiliar people.

Jiang Ning walked slowly on the palace road while stroking her well-fed belly, and the passing palace people hurriedly saluted her and left in a hurry.

At this moment, the sky has begun to darken, and the warm orange sunset glow falls on the sky not far from Jiangning. The sun reveals a ray of light from the gap in the clouds and shines on Jiangning's face without any concealment. She squints her eyes, vaguely It seems to be able to smell the aroma of food coming from nowhere.

In a trance, Jiang Ning seemed to feel that he had returned to the moment when he was outside the palace.

I deliberately slowed down and enjoyed this time carefully, as if I had stolen it from elsewhere.

The red palace wall turned a corner not far from the line of sight, and Jiang Ning turned the corner following the extension of the palace wall, and saw Lin Zheng walking towards her with Mu Jingzhao, who was drunk and unconscious.
