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

Chapter 111 Mystery
Li Zinian looked puzzled, as if he didn't quite understand Mu Jingzhao's meaning, after all, there was nothing more than simple food in this cold palace, so how could there be any secrets?
Even so, he still didn't dare to disobey his master, just nodded repeatedly, then pushed the door and walked out.

In the dining room on the other side, Zhe Liu is looking at the things in the dining room and having trouble.

After all, she only prepares so much food every day. If she really gave it all to Mu Jingzhao, it would be difficult for Jiang Ning to eat something later.

After thinking for a long time, she finally picked up a plate of stir-fried vegetables with both hands, and she just wanted to hide this thing quickly, lest Jiang Ning suddenly become hungry and have nothing to eat later.

But when she opened the cupboard and was about to put the cooking vegetables in her hand, Li Zinian quietly appeared behind her and coughed lightly.

"Cough-cough-"

Zheliu's hands trembled, and she almost dropped the cooking vegetables in her hand, but fortunately she reacted quickly and narrowly caught it.

Zhe Liu casually put the fried vegetables in his hands aside, exhaled heavily, and said to Li Zinian angrily, "I said, Eunuch Li, why did you just stand behind the servant without making a sound, and almost killed the servant?" I was so scared that I even smashed the dinner plate in my hand!"

Li Zinian looked at Zhe Liu's terrified appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart, the emperor is indeed the emperor, and he can even guess such a completely useless thing.

He smiled slightly, and then quickly said, "Miss Zheliu, you don't know something, the emperor is worried that it is inconvenient for you to carry things by yourself, let me help you."

As he said so, he took two steps forward and picked up the stir-fry that Zhe Liu had left on the stove not long ago, and picked it up.

"Be quick, girl, if we starve our emperor, we can't bear it!"

After Li Zinian finished speaking, he didn't intend to leave at all. He looked at Zhe Liu, as if he was waiting for something.

Under such gazes, Zhe Liu had no choice but to apologize to Jiang Ning inwardly, resigned himself to his fate and followed Li Zinian out with the dishes.

The dishes were put on the table one by one, and during the whole process, Li Zinian stayed close to each other and did not give the other party a chance to hide his secrets.

As soon as the dish was served on the table, Mu Jingzhao unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and devoured it, but after a while, the table full of dishes had already bottomed out.

Zhe Liu and Li Zinian were stunned. Mu Jingzhao was extremely picky about the dishes, and he would only take a few mouthfuls of the dishes in the cold palace when Jiang Ning was present.

And the appetite he showed today is too abnormal, too unexpected!

At this time, Jiang Ning, who was hiding in the dormitory to avoid Mu Jingzhao, was really hungry. She originally wanted to be well, and when Mu Jingzhao entered the room, she sneaked out and brought all the food into her room. eat.

Unexpectedly, since she hid in the house, the sound of footsteps outside the house sounded one after another.

So she could only suppress her desire to go out for food, and continued to sit at the dining table and fill her stomach with cup after cup of tea, so as to barely offset the hunger in her belly.

Unexpectedly, after drinking cup after cup of tea, although the emptiness in Jiang Ning's stomach disappeared, the hunger did not decrease but increased.

Jiang Ning let out a long sigh, knowing in his heart that going on like this was not an option, so he simply put down his teacup, walked quickly to the door and continued to put his ear to the window and wait for the movement behind the door to disappear.

After about a cup of tea, the two hastily coming and going footsteps ceased to sound, but Jiang Ning's stomach let out a growl.

She rubbed her stomach lightly as if to comfort her, bent down, and looked out the window with her hands on the crack of the door, but she didn't find Zhe Liu.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally opened the door and tiptoed out.

Almost without any hesitation, Jiang Ning went straight to the dining room. However, the moment she opened the door of the dining room, she did not see the scene full of delicacies that she imagined.

There were still some food residues left in the big pot in the dining room. It was undoubtedly that the meal had been cooked not long ago, but, except for the little food residues left on the side of the pot, Jiang Ning did not see any trace of food.

At this moment, her uneasy stomach let out a cry unexpectedly, Jiang Ning did not give up, and then opened the pot lids and cabinets one by one to search, and every time she opened one, the loss in her heart deepened.

Could it be that...Zhe Liu has already brought all the meals prepared for him to the dining table in the main hall and placed them on the table?

Thinking so, Jiang Ning nodded secretly. Apart from this, it seems that there is no other possibility.

Thinking so, she turned around and left the dining room, walking briskly towards the main hall.

However, when she walked into the entrance of the main hall, she realized something was wrong.

Although there was no sound of talking in the hall, the faint sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl also indicated that there was actually a person eating in the hall.

Of course Jiang Ning believed that Zhe Liu would not eat lunch behind her back.

Well, the only ones having lunch inside the house right now are...

Jiang Ning approached on tiptoe, carefully pawing the door with her fingertips, and leaned forward cautiously.

What he saw next made Jiang Ning's eyes darken uncontrollably.

In the hall, Zhe Liu and Li Zinian were standing around, while Mu Jingzhao was sitting alone at the dining table, eating happily, and there was not much food left on the table.

Jiang Ning secretly clenched the hand holding the door, and the anger in his heart almost washed away his embarrassment about facing Mu Jingzhao.

She gritted her teeth, fixed her eyes on Mu Jingzhao's oily lips, and raised her foot to walk into the hall.

Mu Jingzhao ate very fast, as if he didn't need to take a break, he kept stuffing food into his mouth.

Despite this, his manner of eating is still elegant and upright, every movement exudes a full regal air, his two thin lips are slightly shiny with oil stains, and when they open and close, it seems that the next In seconds, I have to express my heartfelt love to myself.

"I will definitely find out the real culprit of that murder case back then."

Mu Jingzhao's voice was deep, falling on Jiang Ning's ears.

Just for a moment, Jiang Ning shivered, her aura dissipated, she quickly took two steps back, and hid behind the door again.

Jiang Ning stared at Mu Jingzhao's opening and closing lips. His movements of biting were quite strong, and his expression was intoxicated, as if he was quite satisfied with the dish.

Following Mu Jingzhao's chewing movements, Jiang Ning couldn't stop swallowing her saliva. She wondered in her heart that a picky eater like Mu Jingzhao could eat with such relish. Is there any mystery in it?
