Jiang Ning was inexplicably startled by Mu Jingzhao's extreme reaction.

In fact, she just wanted to clarify with Mu Jingzhao whether it was necessary to continue the contract. As for whether to leave, she really hadn't made up her mind yet.

She was silent for a moment, and for a long while, she was not quite sure how to answer Mu Jingzhao's answer.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the store, and Mu Jingzhao's expression eased a little, "What's the matter?"

A little eunuch outside the door said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, the Empress is worried that you will catch cold talking with Concubine Ning, so she specially ordered the small kitchen to prepare chicken soup for you."

The four words "Empress Empress" seemed to be a wordless reminder, which made Jiang Ning tremble slightly.

The little eunuch brought two bowls of chicken soup into the house, put two bowls of chicken soup respectively in front of Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning, then turned and left. Before leaving, his eyes swept slowly over Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning, and then opened the door and left go out.

There were only two people left in the house.

The chicken soup filled Jiang Ning's nose slowly with the sound of thick medicinal ingredients. Jiang Ning's gaze was fixed on the rich chicken soup with a wafting aroma in front of him, and the chill in his heart seemed to have finally eased a bit.

She thought, took a spoonful of it with a spoon, and sent it to her mouth.

"Don't drink!" Mu Jingzhao's sudden low drink made Jiang Ning tremble subconsciously. Fortunately, she had put the spoon into her mouth earlier, so she didn't spill the chicken soup.

Jiang Ning understood something in an instant, and was about to spit it out subconsciously, but the chicken soup had already slid down her throat slowly, leaving a trace of warmth.

Mu Jingzhao's eyes widened, as if he had fallen into deep fear. The next second, he rushed towards Jiang Ning, reaching out to poke Jiang Ning's throat.

Jiang Ning's jaw was tightly clamped by his tiger's mouth, and Jiang Ning's jaw was numb and painful when he pinched it. He subconsciously struggled twice but was still powerless.

She opened her mouth wide and made ahhh sounds from time to time, her eyes almost shed tears.

Mu Jingzhao turned a blind eye, stretched out two notes and pressed them towards Jiang Ning's tongue.

A feeling of nausea rose from Jiang Ning's heart instantly, her body twitched subconsciously, Mu Jingzhao let go of the restraint, and she immediately bowed her head and retched.

However, she vomited for a long time, but still couldn't vomit anything.

However, after tossing for a long time, the two finally confirmed that the soup was not poisonous in the first place.

Even if she really wanted to harm someone, Shen Qingrong would not be so stupid as to use chronic poison.

Aware of this problem, Mu Jingzhao let out a heavy breath, and couldn't care less about his appearance as an emperor. He fell back and sat straight on the ground.

The hot burning sensation in Jiang Ning's throat has not completely subsided, she lowered her head and coughed heart-piercingly a few times, then poured a lot of tea from the table and was forced to drink it down, which barely suppressed the burning sensation in her throat go down.

Jiang Ning was really tired after all this tossing. She sat down next to Mu Jingzhao, and the two of them sat on the ground and panted heavily.

Mu Jingzhao sat for a while, and finally recovered from the nervousness not long ago. He glanced at Jiang Ning beside him, and finally realized what happened to him.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that at this juncture, Shen Qingrong had absolutely no reason to attack Jiang Ning, but the moment he saw the chicken soup Jiang Ning drank, he subconsciously became nervous.

This nervousness didn't matter, but it completely defeated his deliberate indifference towards Jiang Ning during this period.

He suddenly felt a little frustrated.

He cautiously turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ning beside him. She had her throat gouged by Mu Jingzhao not long ago. Although she didn't spit out anything, the saliva still glistened on the corners of her lips, looking very embarrassed.

Mu Jingzhao hesitated for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently tapped it on Jiang Ning's face, wiping away the trace of saliva.

Jiang Ning was disturbed by this action, she turned her head and looked at Mu Jingzhao.

The other party's movements stopped in her eyes, and the two looked at each other silently for a moment, then laughed together.

Mu Jingzhao was the first to recover from the laughter, stood up first, and stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Ning up, and the two sat back on the stool again.

Mu Jingzhao was silent for a moment, poured himself another glass of water, drank it slowly, and then returned to normal, "So, what do you want to say to me today?"

Jiang Ning looked puzzled. She had said it more than once not long ago, and she expressed her meaning clearly.

"It's about the assassination agreement."

When she spoke, Mu Jingzhao's face sank little by little.

"I don't think there's any need to continue."

Mu Jingzhao asked, "Why?"

Jiang Ning suddenly didn't want to say it now, anyway, she said it a hundred times and Mu Jingzhao still couldn't remember it.

Before she could speak, Mu Jingzhao continued.

"I don't agree."

Jiang Ning looked puzzled.

"why?"

"You don't want the promised money?"

Jiang Ning was a little helpless. In fact, she didn't have too much attachment to money, as long as it was enough, the money she earned now was enough for her to live comfortably in any place for a lifetime.

Therefore, in fact, there is not much difference between a sum of money and a sum of money for her.

"No more." Jiang Ning said.

This sentence seemed to anger Mu Jingzhao instantly. He looked at Jiang Ning with undisguised anger in his eyes.

"I won't allow it."

Jiang Ning is really helpless now, although it is said that there is an unfathomable emperor's heart.

But it shouldn't be like Mu Jingzhao's mood changing three or four times at once.

What's more, their agreement was that Mu Jingzhao was the assassin and Mu Jingzhao was the one who gave the money. Now there is no need to continue this matter. If it is stopped in time, it will be Mu Jingzhao who will benefit the most.

As for Jiang Ning, the reason why she wanted to terminate this agreement was because what Jiang Qingyuan said to her today made her start to think about what she should do next.

Although she doesn't necessarily want to stay here, if she wants to leave, it will be more comfortable to deal with all the things in her hands.

After thinking about it, the only thing she couldn't take away and couldn't solve was probably the agreement with Mu Jingzhao.

"Why?"

Jiang Ning felt a little powerless, and she couldn't handle Mu Jingzhao's unpredictable emotions.

"If I say no, I won't."

She laughed angrily at the other party's childish remarks.

"I'm tired and don't want to continue."

Jiang Ning originally meant that he was exhausted and didn't want to continue doing things like assassination.

Unexpectedly, this sentence fell into Mu Jingzhao's ears, and it had another meaning. (end of this chapter)
