Chapter 110 Farewell
"That's right, Qingshui County." The corners of Lin Zheng's mouth were slightly bent, forming a pleasant arc.

Jiang Ning looked up at him, feeling an inexplicable emotion in her heart, after all, this was the first time she saw Lin Zheng so happy.

"So happy?" Jiang Ning tilted his head slightly to look at him, with a playful expression, as if he was looking at something strange.

The smile on Lin Zheng's face was not restrained because of Jiang Ning's ridicule, but it was because of her words that deepened.

"Yes." He raised his lips, drawing a more pleasant arc, "It is my honor to be able to do things for you... and the emperor."

For some reason, Jiang Ning suddenly recalled what he and Mu Jingzhao had said to each other last night, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this time Lin Zheng went to Qingshui County for this purpose?

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, but he couldn't believe that Mu Jingzhao would really re-investigate the case three years ago for himself.

"I don't know... why did Commander Lin go to Qingshui County this time?"

Lin Zheng was taken aback for a moment, looking at Jiang Ning's expectant eyes, he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

After all, when he went to Qingshui County this time, Mu Jingzhao only told him that he was going to assist Jiang Qingyuan in quelling the rebellion in Qingshui County.

As for the case three years ago and Jiang Ning's true identity, the other party did not mention a word.

The reason why he was happy was because he wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the case for his own selfishness.

"The emperor sent his ministers to assist the prime minister in suppressing the recent riots."

Jiang Ning had also heard about the riots in Qingshui County, and she had no doubts about it.

However, she secretly mocked herself in her heart.

Sure enough, people like Mu Jingzhao have always had their eyes above their heads, and he doesn't care whether other people live or die.

Not to mention investigating the murder case three years ago just for himself.

She nodded slightly, neither happy nor disappointed in her heart.

Xu Shi saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time, so Lin Zheng spoke slowly, "I left the imperial city suddenly, and I was worried about what danger my empress would encounter after I left, so I came here specially to tell my empress to be more careful."

Jiang Ning nodded, slandering in his heart, his own safety cannot be guaranteed by being more careful, and it doesn't matter what he said.

Even so, she nodded and smiled to thank Lin Zheng for his kindness.

"Since this is the case, then I will go and tell Zheliu girl to prepare more good dishes, and I will see Commander Lin off."

Lin Zheng smiled slightly, "No need, I'd better wait for the minister to finish his mission and come back, and then have dinner with the empress."

Jiang Ning nodded and stopped talking. She cupped her fists and cupped her hands at Lin Zheng, "Then I wish Commander Lin a smooth journey and everything goes well."

She seemed to be ignited by such an action, and was about to chat with Lin Zheng in high spirits, when she heard two footsteps not far away.

Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat, the ones who could come to Lenggong at this hour and yet be so leisurely, must be Mu Jingzhao and Li Zinian.

If Mu Jingzhao was going to enter the cold palace, then he would definitely pass by here, and would definitely meet him head-on.

Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat, if he didn't leave now, it would be too late.

"I still have something to do in the palace, so I will leave first. I wish Commander Lin a safe journey, a safe journey!"

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, before Lin Zheng could respond, she turned around without hesitation and ran towards the door of Lenggong.

Lin Zheng was about to say something, but when he looked up, he found that Jiang Ning had already disappeared. The next moment, Mu Jingzhao led Li Zinian to the gate of Lenggong.

As if realizing something, the conversation between him and Li Zinian was interrupted for a second, he raised his head, and saw Lin Zheng in the corner at a glance.

The two looked at each other unexpectedly, and Mu Jingzhao turned his head to look in the direction of the gate of the Leng Palace. He seemed to understand something, and continued to walk towards it.

In the cold palace, Jiang Ning hurriedly ran into the bedroom, and even closed the door behind him.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? The servant's lunch is about to be ready, come out quickly."

Seeing her like this, Zhe Liu followed Jiang Ning's footsteps to the door of the bedroom with suspicion, and pushed the door casually, only to find that the door had been locked by Jiang Ning from the door.

"I won't eat for now. If the emperor asks, you can say that I'm not here, that I've gone to find the imperial concubine."

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, Mu Jingzhao led Li Zinian into the cold palace, and saw Zheliu standing at the door of the bedroom at a glance.

He glanced at Zhe Liu, and then asked, "Where is your empress?"

"The empress is not here, the empress is looking for the imperial concubine empress, I don't know when she will be back." Zheliu smiled dryly, and took two steps back to hide it.

Mu Jingzhao glanced at the tightly closed bedroom door, nodded understandingly, and continued in a loud voice: "Since the empress has gone to the imperial concubine empress's palace, she probably won't come back for lunch, so Come on, bring me the prepared lunch, don't waste it."

"what?"

Zhe Liu was startled, knowing that she cooks all meals according to Jiang Ning's instructions, and has extremely strict requirements on the portion, not only to ensure abundance, but also to ensure that there is no waste to the greatest extent.

Therefore, if Mu Jingzhao ate all these things, then Jiang Ning will come out at that time, and he will probably be hungry and wait for him to make it now.

"What are you doing in a daze! Why don't you go!" Caught off guard by Li Zinian's yell, Zhe Liu trembled all over, didn't say anything more, just apologized to Jiang Ning in his heart, and ran towards the dining room quickly .

Until Zheliu disappeared, Mu Jingzhao winked at Li Zinian, "Why are you standing there! Why don't you go!"

Li Zinian hurriedly followed Mu Jingzhao towards the main hall.

"Forgive me for asking too much, why does the emperor suddenly want to eat the food in the empress's palace today?"

You know, although Jiang Ning can indeed eat and sleep, he can save as much as he can in terms of food and clothing. The meals prepared in Lishanfang every day can be said to be small in quantity and poor in color, and even ordinary workers in the palace The meals are not comparable.

Naturally, this kind of food could not catch the eyes of Mu Jingzhao, who grew up in rich clothes and fine clothes.

There is nothing else that can make Mu Jingzhao condescend to eat in the cold palace, except with Jiang Ning.

But now, Mu Jingzhao suddenly became interested in the meals of this cold palace, which really made Li Zinian curious.

While the two were talking, Mu Jingzhao came to sit down at the dining table in the main hall. He smiled slightly at Li Zinian, "I'm just worried that this prepared meal will be wasted. Go and watch that little maid, and be careful of her hiding things."
