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

Jiang Ning explained to Lin Zheng somewhat incoherently, completely oblivious to Mu Jingzhao's increasingly gloomy expression beside him.

"It's because the emperor is injured! I'm giving the emperor a massage!"

Hearing the word "injured", Lin Zheng's face immediately returned to normal. He looked at the two people in the trap, and said comfortingly, "I have sent out the signal, please wait a moment for the emperor to come to rescue."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of rustling footsteps from all directions, and several heads popped out from around the trap, looking curiously at Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning who were sitting at the bottom of the trap.

Li Zinian and Zhe Liu were worried, and they threw themselves at the entrance of the cave, quite determined to jump in and live and die with their master.

Jiang Ning originally felt that it was a bit embarrassing for her to accidentally fall into a trap while hunting, but being misunderstood by Lin Zheng just now made her feel ashamed.

Now there are so many people around the opening of the trap, looking at the two of them with surprised expressions as if they were observing some strange object.

She suddenly felt that she was ashamed to meet people, so she got up silently, found a seat a little far away from Mu Jingzhao, and stopped looking at the people at the entrance of the cave.

Lin Zheng glanced at her, nodded slightly, and shouted to the people behind him.

"Please step back a little bit, don't let the emperor and empress be frightened."

The heads surrounding the mouth of the trap slowly receded, Jiang Ning exhaled heavily, and sat down limply.

Vaguely, she felt a gaze fall on her body. Jiang Ning turned her head to look and saw Mu Jingzhao sitting alone. expression.

At this moment, Lin Zheng outside the trap was recruiting the imperial guards to save people.

Lu Feng led the imperial guards and lowered a hemp rope as thick as a thumb from the top of the trap, and it hung down to the depth of the trap, "Your Majesty, empress, you hold on to the rope first, and I will help you come up."

The rope hung appropriately between Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning looked up at Mu Jingzhao, but the other party didn't respond at all.

Obviously, this rope can only bear the weight of one person, so it can only be rescued one at a time.

And Jiang Ning naturally knew in her heart that she definitely couldn't get ahead of Mu Jingzhao in such a matter.

"You go first." Not far away, Mu Jingzhao spoke slowly, with a soothing voice without any ups and downs.

She was never a hypocritical person, she nodded to Mu Jingzhao, stepped forward in two steps, grabbed the rope tightly with both hands, and let the imperial guards pull herself up.

As soon as she landed, Lin Zheng Zheliu and his group immediately came up to her.

Zhe Liu hugged her, sobbing and inspecting her body, "Ma'am, are you injured?"

While comforting Zhe Liu, she vaguely sensed something wrong with Lin Zheng's eyes beside her. She raised her head and looked at Lin Zheng, and was caught off guard by something he stuffed into her palm.

She shook it, and found that it was the bone whistle that Mu Jingzhao threw out of the trap not long ago.

Jiang Ning quietly put away the bone whistle in his hand.

"Now that the person has been rescued, let's go back to the camp first."

Jiang Ning followed the prestige and saw that Mu Jingzhao was already standing outside the trap. His expression was as usual, and he no longer looked seriously injured.

She had a look of astonishment on her face, she had only come up for a while, even if the imperial guards were well-trained and agile, Mu Jingzhao could not come up so quickly.

But soon, she had no time to take care of these things.

At this time, the twilight had already converged, and the entire forest was like an ink painting soaked in ink, hiding everyone present in it with a tendency to hide the sky and the sun.

She was also a little apprehensive, and hurriedly drove back to the camp with the help of Zhe Liu.

After the two returned to the camp, the sky had completely darkened, and bonfires were lit around the camp to remove all the cold breath in the forest.

After the accompanying imperial doctor checked the injuries on the two of them, they made sure that there was nothing serious.

Only then did Mu Jingzhao summon all the people who participated in the hunt to announce the result.

After all, it is a competition, and there must be a beginning and an end.

All the sons of the noble families who participated in the hunting gathered outside the camp, and the servants beside them carried the prey in their hands to accompany them. The expressions on everyone's faces were almost the same.

Either it's gloomy, or it doesn't matter.

And Mu Jingzhao's prey had already been found by Lin Zheng following the search for plums, and was held aside by Li Zinian.

But it's a pity that Mu Jingzhao wasted too much time today. If he wanted to win, it might be impossible, and his only hope could only be pinned on Lin Zheng.

Fortunately, today's hunt seemed a little too grand, and the birds and beasts in the forest were too frightened to go out, so everyone's harvest was mediocre.

If luck is good, maybe Lin Zheng can really get the first place.

Mu Jingzhao cleared his throat, and returned to his usual dignified and dignified appearance, "Everyone has worked hard today, and today's hunt must have yielded a lot. I'm happy today. Everyone here has a lot of gratitude. reward."

There was a cheer from the crowd, and Jiang Ning showed joy, thinking that he got a reward today, even if he fell into the trap and was trapped for so long, it would not be a loss.

"At this moment, please start to show your achievements today and decide the winner of today."

As soon as Mu Jingzhao said this, all the princes began to show their prey, but this prey showed several, and they were just some small things such as rabbits, birds, squirrels, etc. For those who were a little powerful, they could only show some rare ones such as hedgehogs. little beast.

The princes showed off one by one, and the smile on Mu Jingzhao's face gradually grew.

He has always trusted Lin Zheng's ability very much, and it is like this today, thinking that it is already inevitable.

"Your Majesty, it's the minister's turn next." After saying this, the smile on Mu Jingzhao's face froze for a moment.

The person who spoke was Liu Jinfu's younger brother Liu Bing.

Although Liu Bing has always been criticized by the people as an idiot, what is even more exaggerated is that he can't even compare to his own sister's little finger.

But all these useless and useless things are only based on the premise of comparing with Liu Jinfu.

Mu Jingzhao knew in his heart that although Liu Bing was not as brave and intelligent as Liu Jinfu, he was still a child of a general family and the only son of Liu Yue, who had been carefully cultivated by Liu Yue since he was a child.

No matter how bad it is, it's not much worse.

What's more, just now Mu Jingzhao saw what the servant next to him was holding in his hand, which was obviously more prey than the others.

The only one on the scene was a deer whose forehead was pierced by an arrow.
