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

Chapter 190 Damn Curiosity
Liu Jinfu's voice was gentle, his cheeks flickering brightly and darkly under the light of the fire.

"That was when I first joined the army. I had just been promoted from a small soldier to a corps leader. That night we were going to attack the Turks at night, but we didn't know when the news leaked out. The other party had already prepared for it and set up an ambush. Although I had done enough Although he was preparing for it, he was still attacked by the opponent, cut his mount and was thrown off the horse, and was stabbed in the chest by the enemy before he had time to react."

Zhe Liu looked at Liu Jinfu with a bit of embarrassment on his face, probably because he was ashamed of what he said not long ago about the interesting war.

But Liu Jinfu didn't notice the change in her mood, and continued talking on his own.

"I stood up and resisted, and finally survived. We narrowly won, but I passed out due to excessive blood loss."

Speaking of this, everyone present gasped. Although everyone knew that Liu Jinfu was out of danger in the end, they couldn't help but sweat for her.

Zhe Liu frowned, and finally couldn't help but interjected, "Then your woman's identity will be known by the military doctor?"

Naturally, the military doctor is loyal to the commander in chief. Naturally, he dare not hide the outright crime of women joining the army. Once it is reported, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Yes." Liu Jinfu smiled slightly, "But the military doctor at the time told a friend of mine about it, and the other side helped me hide it."

Zhe Liu suddenly showed an excited smile. She looked at Liu Jinfu with undisguised expectation, "That friend of yours must be our emperor."

On the other hand, Meng Yin's face was not pretty.

Liu Jinfu did not speak, which was equivalent to acquiescing.

In fact, Jiang Ning also guessed this way. The military doctor must not have dared to hide it and not report it. The only possibility that he was not convicted was that the commander in chief at the time secretly suppressed this matter.

And that commander is naturally Mu Jingzhao.

At that time, Liu Jinfu had just entered the barracks, and Mu Jingzhao already knew her identity as a woman. The relationship between the two should be closer than he imagined.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's face darkened.

The bad answer in her heart became more and more intense, and it was almost blocked in her throat.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, barely suppressing the uneasiness in her heart. She looked at Liu Jinfu, and there was a tremor in her voice that she didn't notice.

"Did the emperor already know that you were the daughter of General Liu?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the few people present all became solemn in an instant.

Liu Jinfu didn't answer, and immediately, she laughed, and stuffed the grilled fish into Jiang Ning's hand, "Okay, it's getting late now, I should rest, so I'll go back first."

Hearing this, Meng Yin got up quickly and helped Liu Jinfu to leave slowly.

Before leaving, she took a deep look at Jiang Ning, and there was no meaning in her eyes.

Jiang Ning turned over the grilled fish in his hand. At this time, the fins of the grilled fish had turned black, and there was a burst of burnt smell coming from the fire.

"Girl." The moment she turned her head to look at Zhe Liu, Zhe Liu trembled.

But the more the other party avoided, the more curious Jiang Ning became.

"Do you know how the imperial concubine's leg was injured?"

Zhe Liu turned his head slightly, turned his eyes away from her, and lowered his head to take a bite of the grilled fish in his hand.

"It was interrupted, wasn't it?"

Zhe Liu's hand holding the skewers trembled slightly, but he still didn't answer.

Jiang Ning felt his heart tremble violently following the opponent's movements.

"Did the emperor do it?"

"How is it possible?!" Zhe Liu exclaimed, and then, she seemed to realize her gaffe again, and said in a low voice, "It's not the emperor. We are not allowed to talk about this matter, if we do, it will be a crime of beheading!"

Although the other party denied it flatly, Jiang Ning still felt very strange in his heart.

If this matter has nothing to do with Mu Jingzhao, why did he block the news so severely? What kind of role does he play in it?
If Mu Jingzhao already knew that Liu Jinfu was the daughter of General Liu from the very beginning, why didn't he prevent Liu Jinfu from being exposed and redeem everything?
How did they turn against each other?
A series of questions crowded Jiang Ning's mind, causing her to have a splitting headache.

Sometimes she really hates her temperament of asking the bottom of everything, knowing that the truth may be cruel and unacceptable to herself, but she still has to plunge into it.

When Jiang Ning came to his senses, the bonfire in front of him had already been extinguished, leaving only a few sparks flickering in the night wind.Zhe Liu was not with him, and there was still a bunch of grilled fish left on the stone stove in front of him.

The lights of the convoy behind her came on, and not far behind her, Lu Feng and a guard stood upright, keeping a safe but polite distance.

Jiang Ning ate the fish in two bites, got up, and was about to go back to his carriage to rest.

As soon as she turned around, she heard a crisp and abrupt ding-dong sound in the creek.

She turned her head and looked towards the stream.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the silvery white moonlight poured down unscrupulously, falling on the gurgling stream, and breaking with the ripples of the stream.

It doesn't look abnormal at all.

She continued to turn around.

The strange noise sounded again behind him, Jiang Ning stepped forward slowly, and walked to the side of the stream.

The moonlight was reflected on the stream, and the stream swayed without any abnormality. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a bush not far from her made a strange sound.

Jiang Ning froze, and hesitantly looked in the direction of the bushes. In front of the bushes that were as tall as a person, a squatting figure was vaguely outlined.

She was startled, and was about to call for help to the Imperial Guard behind her.

The figure made some abrupt noises.

"Miss."

The voice is low and reserved, with a bit of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Zheng.

Regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, Jiang Ning rolled his eyes at Lin Zheng.

"You scared me to death, what are you doing shrinking there?"

Lin Zheng's figure didn't move at all, his voice was still indifferent, "I just have something in my heart that I want to say to my empress."

Jiang Ning obviously cared more about Lin Zheng's weird posture than what Lin Zheng wanted to say.

After all, Lin Zheng has always had a very cold and indifferent image on weekdays, and it really doesn't fit such a posture.

Jiang Ning couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

For a moment, she managed to stabilize her emotions, imitating the other party's indifferent and deep voice.

"what?"

"In fact, during the days when I left, the emperor asked me to stay in Qingshui County to protect the safety of my mother's relatives."

Jiang Ning froze, but then she came to her senses again. They had so much time alone during the day that Lin Zheng could tell her about this, so why did he choose to say it at this time.

She glanced at where Lin Zheng was. He was on the side of the bushes facing the stream. He was dressed in black and almost blended with the bushes. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell there was a person there.

A very strange feeling rose from my heart.

"Did you hear what we just said?"
