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

Chapter 108 Trust
After an unknown amount of time, traces of indigo blue morning light had penetrated the window paper. She subconsciously turned over, but was blocked by an unknown object around her.

In a daze, she subconsciously felt that this thing should be the side rail of the bed, so she turned in another direction, but was stopped when she turned over halfway.

Consciousness gradually became clear during this back and forth, and she vaguely felt a warm weight on her waist, which seemed to be moving slightly with her breathing.

That didn't seem to be his own breathing.

Such a thought exploded in Jiang Ning's mind instantly, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and with the faint light, she saw the outline of Mu Jingzhao's body.

With a sudden struggle, she sat up on the bed, looked at Mu Jingzhao who was still sleeping soundly beside her, and carefully checked her clothes.

Under these shocks, her thoughts gradually recovered, and the picture of her and Mu Jingzhao's heart-to-heart exchange last night gradually became clear.

With a remorseful expression, Jiang Ning rubbed his face vigorously, then sighed heavily, turned over and got up.

Jiang Ning pushed open the door of the house, and the morning wind rushed on her face unscrupulously, making her chaotic thoughts clearer in an instant.

Jiang Ning closed the door carefully and rubbed his face vigorously.

She looked up at a small piece of sky on the palace wall, a little fish-belly had already appeared in the layered dark blue sky, which symbolized that the dawn was approaching and a new day was coming.

Then, everything about last night will be refreshed and treated as lonely nonsense in the middle of the night.

Jiang Ning always feels that night is the most tolerant time of the day. At this time, no matter what identity or shape people or things are, they will be swallowed up by this dense, overwhelming darkness and assimilated into one appearance.

That is because of the existence of this fig leaf, everything can play the role they want to play without any scruples.

The emperor is no longer the emperor, and the concubine is no longer a concubine.

But when all the protective black fades and everything in the world returns to light, everything should return to its original position.

And the secrets that have happened in the dark night will be easily erased and hidden, silently.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning bowed her head, and chuckled a little self-deprecatingly. She laughed at herself for being so stupid that she would let go of her guard because of the two overlapping breathing sounds in the silent night, letting go of all the sadness and pain. show it to others.

What's more, that person is the most arrogant and defiant emperor in the world.

Originally, she carefully concealed her identity in front of Mu Jingzhao, hoping to quietly separate herself from Mu Jingzhao's dereliction of duty.

But now, once her identity is exposed, she undoubtedly becomes a stain in Mu Jingzhao's eyes, and it is a breeze for him to erase all the stains on himself.

As for his promise and guarantee, it was just a joke after drinking late at night, and all of this can't be taken seriously.

Jiang Ning shook her head and gathered her clothes. She looked around, but couldn't find a place where she could hide.

She sighed, turned around and walked towards Zheliu's house.

Inside the house, Mu Jingzhao opened his eyes instantly after Jiang Ning turned to go out. He turned over, rested his chin, and squinted at the petite figure on the window.

He hooked his lips, rolled over, and buried his face in the pillow.

The pillow was fluffy and soft, and there was still a little scent of shampoo on it, which was Jiang Ning's hair scent.

When Jiang Ning walked to the door of Zheliu's room, she was so cold that she couldn't stand upright. She arched her body, crossed her arms, rubbed her arms vigorously, and carefully pushed the door open and walked in.

She walked into Zheliu's room familiarly, walked to her bed, kicked off her shoes, lifted the quilt and lay down on it.

Zhe Liu turned over in a daze, squinted her eyes and looked at Jiang Ning who was beside her, she groaned a few times and murmured in an indistinct voice, "Mother, what are you doing so awkwardly with the emperor at night?" Well, there is no overnight feud between husband and wife, it's just a bedside quarrel and..."

Jiang Ning was a little annoyed by the reading, and kicked Zheliu's body lightly, Zheliu quietly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

In the early morning, Mu Jingzhao had just left the court, and he was alone in the imperial study, flipping through the dossier about Qingshui County's salt and iron policy.

In fact, he has watched it countless times.

However, some of the information in it has been deliberately erased by people with a heart.

Not to mention watching it a few times, even a thousand times will not help.

As the emperor, he is not unaware of the problems, but over the years, the implementation of the salt and iron policy has brought good benefits to the economy of the whole country, so he also began to turn a blind eye to everything that happened back then only eye.

Sacrifice a small number of people, and then preserve a large number of rights and interests. This is an eternal national development method.

It's just that the sacrifice of that small group of people back then was beyond Mu Jingzhao's expectation and was unnecessary at all.

"Your Majesty——" he thought so, Li Zinian's voice came from outside the door, and he put down the scroll in his hand, Mu Jingzhao raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.

"The Prime Minister has brought you here." Li Zinian stepped aside, Jiang Qingyuan stepped forward, and bowed to Mu Jingzhao, "Old minister, see the emperor."

Mu Jingzhao raised his chin and smiled slightly at Jiang Qingyuan, "Father-in-law please hurry up."

"I don't know why the emperor is looking for his ministers?"

Mu Jingzhao smiled slightly. For some reason, ever since Jiang Qingyuan and Jiang Ning appeared together at Liu Jinfu's birthday banquet that day, he felt an inexplicable feeling of intimacy towards Jiang Qingyuan in his heart.

"Father-in-law, do you know...in the past few days, the people of Qingshui County have been unstable, and there have been many rebellions, and the people are talking about life?"

Jiang Qingyuan nodded slightly, "I have heard a little about it."

"I thought in my heart that it was my fault that the people were dissatisfied, so I hope that my father-in-law can help me, go to Qingshui County, and use appeasement policies to stabilize the people's hearts."

Jiang Qingyuan was startled for a moment, then his face changed greatly, "Your Majesty, this matter needs more consideration!"

Mu Jingzhao didn't know about Jiang Qingyuan's concerns. The Qingshui County incident was the result of the reform three years ago. There were too many interests involved, and Liu Yue and Shen Tong were all eyeing it.

If it is done well, it is a great achievement, but if it is not done well, it will be lost forever.

With Jiang Qingyuan's meek personality, he was naturally unwilling to pick up this hot potato.

"After thinking about it again and again, I really can't think of a person who is more suitable and more trustworthy than my father-in-law."
