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

Chapter 165 Preparation
When Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning came, the others had already arrived.

Shen Qingrong and Shen Tong sat upright and waited for people to come together, which was quite rare, even Liu Jinfu, who had always been unruly, didn't move his chopsticks in advance.

As soon as the two entered the main hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. Shen Tong hurriedly got up to greet him. When his eyes fell on Jiang Ning's red and swollen eyes, he was slightly startled, but then he smiled and said, "Young master and madam came just in time. "

However, their reaction to him was not very enthusiastic.

Only Mu Jingzhao responded in a calm tone, and took a seat on the seat with Jiang Ning in his arms.

But fortunately, Shen Tong seemed to have long been used to other people's lukewarm attitude towards him, and he followed the two of them into his seat, still wearing that special smile on his face.

"Since everyone is here, please have a quick meal."

These days, Shen Tong always lives in this mansion with Mu Jingzhao and his party, but his room is not next to them, and he goes out early and returns late every day to deal with things, so Jiang Ning I didn't realize the existence of this person too much.

In fact, Jiang Ning has never had much other feelings for Master Shen.

In her eyes, Shen Tong is no different from a slick and sophisticated businessman. Although sometimes he acts a little unscrupulously, he also understands in his heart that it is all thanks to him that he entered the harem by mistake, but he does not show it publicly on weekdays. It gave her too much embarrassment, so Jiang Ning didn't care much about it.

But now, she connects everything from what happened three years ago to now.

There was a strange feeling of disgust towards Shen Tong in his heart.

"Why is Madam looking at the old man like that?"

After all, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, his personality is not stable, and his emotions, good or bad, are all displayed on his face.

Even if he realized that something was wrong in an instant, everyone present noticed the somewhat appalling hatred in Shen Tong's eyes.

Under the table, Mu Jingzhao quietly held Jiang Ning's palm, exerting a little force.

Jiang Ning withdrew his eyes, lowered his eyes, and smiled unnaturally, "It's just that I feel a little guilty when I think that Mr. Shen is so busy with official duties and has to take time to entertain us."

Hearing her words, Shen Tong laughed heartily, "How dare you? It's my good fortune to be able to accompany Madam and Young Master."

Jiang Ning, however, didn't have the heart to continue chatting with Shen Tong. She lowered her head and drank water absently.

Rao is what people in the world often say, the royal family always values ​​etiquette and rules the most, but the people in Mu Jingzhao's harem, Liu Jinfu is defiant, Jiang Ning is pampered, and even the queen, who has always been polite, seems to be infected by these two people Gradually lost his seriousness.

From this point of view, Mu Jingzhao felt a little helpless.

Naturally, he couldn't bear to blame Jiang Ning, so he just smiled lightly and said, "Today Ning'er spent a tiring day with me, and I'm really tired of socializing, please forgive me."

Now that Mu Jingzhao had opened his mouth, Shen Tong naturally couldn't say anything more.

A group of people began to have dinner with their own minds.

Everyone was relatively silent, and even Shen Tong, who used to be keen to have both sides, fell silent.

Jiang Ning's meal was actually much more exhausting than she had been working outside for a few days. In order to prevent herself from being poisoned, she was very cautious during the whole eating process. She only put the food in her mouth and chewed it repeatedly. Spit it out secretly when you pay attention.

After so many repetitions, she really didn't eat anything.

After dinner was over, everyone left the table. Jiang Ning walked out of the main hall first. At the corner of the corridor, Mu Jingzhao had been waiting for her for a long time.

He was wearing a dark golden robe, and the faint light fell on the corner of his clothes, like a flowing sunset.

Seeing Jiang Ning, he didn't speak, but nodded slightly to her. She understood, and waited for Mu Jingzhao to turn his head away, and she followed behind him step by step.

The two walked slowly one after the other, Mu Jingzhao stopped at the door of his room, and Jiang Ning paused.

Mu Jingzhao looked back at her.

"You must be extremely careful tonight."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Apart from Mu Jingzhao, Jiang Ning is probably the most dangerous person in this house now.

Even if Mu Jingzhao has martial arts skills, even if he meets a villain, he will be able to fight him anyway.

Not to mention Liu Jinfu, I am afraid that it is difficult to have her opponent in the whole world.

As for Shen Qingrong, at least there was Shen Tong standing on top of her.

Thinking of Liu Jinfu, her eyes widened slightly, "We haven't told the imperial concubine about this yet."

Now I know that there may be changes, but there are only Mu Jingzhao, Lin Zheng and Jiang Ning. Since it has been deduced that the gangsters will tamper with their food, it must be their masters who will suffer.

They do know how to pay attention to their diet, but what about Liu Jinfu?In case of a fire, who would take care of Liu Jinfu at a critical moment?

Mu Jingzhao's expression was astonished.

Jiang Ning turned around and was about to walk towards the door of Liu Jinfu's room.

Just now he turned around, but Mu Jingzhao grabbed his wrist.

"Ning'er, the less people know about this matter, the better."

Jiang Ning was slightly taken aback, she turned her head to look at Mu Jingzhao, her big eyes were full of disbelief.

Seeing her like this, Mu Jingzhao said softly, "I have my own arrangements, trust me."

Jiang Ning was worried, and it could be seen that the other party's tone was firm and sincere, so she didn't continue to insist.

The two stood face to face for a while, Jiang Ning suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she spoke first, "Since the emperor has nothing to do, the concubine will leave first."

She turned around to leave, but Mu Jingzhao didn't intend to let go of the hand holding her wrist.

"How about—" Mu Jingzhao showed some embarrassment on his face, he lowered his head, faltered, and finally choked out a complete sentence after a long time.

"Why don't you stay in the room tonight." Mu Jingzhao uttered a sentence as if he was relieved, and his cheeks instantly turned red to the base of his ears following the words.

Jiang Ning was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened instantly.

Although it's not that she didn't spend the night in the same room as Mu Jingzhao, but it seemed to have changed after he said it so bluntly.

Mu Jingzhao felt a slip of the tongue just after he spoke. He looked flustered, "No, no, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that I was afraid that you would not be safe by yourself, so we could take care of each other. That's my idea, I have nothing else Meaning, really not."

Mu Jingzhao's expression was flustered, and his tone was even stammering.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Ning smiled unconsciously.

"It's not necessary. If it's too abnormal, it's easy to make people suspicious." She said so, gradually restraining the smile on her face, "I'll be careful."
