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

Chapter 126
Although Jiang Ning has never tasted the love between men and women, no matter how dull she is, she can probably understand the unusual behavior of Mu Jingzhao these days.

The carriage bumped and made muffled noises, which overlapped with her deafening heartbeat. Her throat tightened, and suddenly she felt that something was about to come out.

"Is the emperor a happy concubine?" These words flowed out of Jiang Ning's throat unexpectedly.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.

Jiang Ning straightened his back and sat silently, stiffening his body and not daring to look at Mu Jingzhao more.

The wheels rolled over the ground and made a sound, the carriage swayed back and forth, Mu Jingzhao lowered his eyebrows, and his thick eyelashes cast shadows under his eyes.

"Yes." His voice was soft, but firm and powerful.

Jiang Ning felt a suffocating breath in her chest and exhaled from her mouth instantly. She looked at Mu Jingzhao, "What about the imperial concubine?"

Mu Jingzhao didn't respond.

"What about the Empress?"

The other party's chest heaved violently, and he looked at Jiang Ning, with a thousand thoughts in his eyes.

"There are a lot of things involved in the harem and the former dynasty, and some things cannot be covered by the simple word Xinyue."

In Jiang Ning's eyes, there was a kind of stubbornness that refused to give up without asking the answer, "Then what does the emperor do to his concubines?"

"You are different from others."

"What's the difference?"

Mu Jingzhao's voice paused for a while. These days, he tried his best to express his like and love to Jiang Ning, but unexpectedly, the other party's words without warning made him confused, and he didn't know how to respond.

He lowered his brows and eyes, wondering what he was thinking. After a long time, he took a deep breath, and his chest heaved violently.

He looked at Jiang Ning with deep eyes, those dark eyes were like a silent lake, full of thoughts.

"If you want to know, I am willing to tell you all about it."

On one side of Jiang Ning's body, he leaned against the edge of the carriage.

It wasn't until now that she realized her blunt tone and tense emotions not long ago. She turned her body slightly and changed into a slightly more relaxed posture.

Seeing her like this, Mu Jingzhao knew that the other party was ready to listen to the story, he shook his head slightly, and fixed his eyes on the dangling car curtain.

"My story is actually very dull, and there is not much to tell."

He paused slightly, turned his head to look at Jiang Ning, his voice was low and soothing, "However, you mentioned it today, and I know that I should give you an explanation."

His tone was calm, his hands were naturally hanging by his sides, and he looked unusually docile.

Jiang Ning looked at him from the side. The cultivation during this period not only made his body stronger and stronger, but also polished the sharp and proud emperor's spirit on him to be gentle and gentle.

At this moment, he looked at Jiang Ning, and for no reason, he gave her the illusion that he was just him, an extremely ordinary man in the world talking to him.

"I met the queen when I was young. Her mother is my mother's cousin. The father's harem only has the mother and the queen. The palace is lonely. The father is afraid that she will be bored by herself, so he often finds some family members to accompany the mother to relieve the boredom. Among them, the best friend with the queen mother is her cousin, who is also the mother of the queen."

"So the queen and I played together so naturally. We were still young and didn't have any concept of men and women. At the beginning, she thought I was rough, and I thought she was weak."

"Although they both dislike each other, but they have no other choice, so they can only reluctantly play together."

"I remember, it was about that day."

Having said that, Mu Jingzhao raised his hand and rubbed his temples as if recalling some unpleasant memories.

"The mothers of both of us looked at the two of us playing together, and suddenly felt that the relationship between the two of us is close. If we can become baby relatives, it must be a good thing."

"Then, they called the two of us to the front, and the queen's mother asked if she would marry me and be together forever. Unexpectedly, the queen nodded and said she would. So, our baby girl, It’s settled in such a muddle.”

The carriage bumped, causing Jiang Ning's forehead to bump against the car body. She turned around and pressed the back of her head against the car body, trying to share some of the pain with her hair.

"Perhaps, what the empress said to the emperor back then was actually her sincere words, but the emperor took it as a joke among children.

Mu Jingzhao was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't thought of the possibility Jiang Ning said at all, "Maybe, in fact, the empress mother also regarded the conversation that day as a few casual jokes. That’s how it was agreed.”

"So, the empress and I have been together for so many years by mistake. Over the years, the empress has managed the internal affairs of the harem in an orderly manner. We respect each other as guests, and there is no love or dislike."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, probably believing Mu Jingzhao's words.

Although Mu Jingzhao described all this as an unintentional accident, Jiang Ning still preferred to believe that there was still affection between the emperor and empress.

But what Jiang Ning didn't know was that in this harem, affection was a rare luxury.

The vast majority of people are not qualified to think about it.

"As for me and the concubine—"

The wheels of the carriage inadvertently ran over the stones, causing huge bumps, and Jiang Ning's head slammed on the body of the car, making a muffled sound.

She rubbed her forehead and sat up straight.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Mu Jingzhao's caring hand hanging on her forehead.

She frowned slightly, and calmly pushed his hand away, "I'm fine."

Mu Jingzhao sat down again and cleared his throat slightly.

"I think you should know about the matter between me and the imperial concubine."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly. She already knew a lot about the two of them in these few words.

But stories are stories, not facts.

Mu Jingzhao glanced at Jiang Ning cautiously, and then coughed softly twice, "When I first met the imperial concubine, she had just joined the army not long ago, with a white and tender face, which was particularly eye-catching among a group of rough men .”

"At that time, it was my first time to lead an army, and I was really at a loss in the face of so many soldiers. In addition, the barracks were full of rough men in their prime, and I didn't take this fledgling crown prince seriously."

"So, I came up with the simplest and most direct method—to use someone to fight for power. Naturally, I chose the noble concubine who was beautiful and weak at the time."
