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

His chest heaved violently twice, and anger appeared on his face again, "Zhen, don't agree, do you understand?" He stood up while talking, as if the action of sitting down could not express his emotion at all. General anger.

"As long as I don't agree for a day, you are not allowed to stop for a day. Even if you die, you can only die inside this palace wall!"

Jiang Jing waited quietly to watch the bulging veins on Mu Jingzhao's neck, and followed his veins to the back of his ears.

She didn't feel offended, just a little funny.

She has been with Mu Jingzhao for so long, it's not that she didn't realize the other's moody temper, but it was the first time that she was as unreasonable as a child like today.

This kind of moment seems to have been painstakingly worked out by Mu Jingzhao these days, the image of the strategizing emperor lightly knocked a gap, and all the camouflage was destroyed in one go.

In front of his extremely angry expression, Jiang Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing her smile like this, Mu Jingzhao's face was a little uneasy for a moment, the anger on his face receded a little, but he still waited for her stubbornly, and his momentum did not relax.

"Why are you laughing! I'm telling you something serious."

Jiang Ning took a deep breath and managed to suppress the smile on her face, but just for a moment, she giggled again.

The anger on Mu Jingzhao's face gradually became speechless. He stared at Jiang Ning for a long time, as if he felt tired from bending over to stare at her, so he sat down again and continued to stare at her.

Jiang Ning laughed inexplicably for a long time, and at the end of the laugh he began to cough violently, his cheeks were flushed, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and his stomach hurt so badly that he finally stopped.

"Okay." Jiang Ning supported his stomach, took a deep breath, and barely suppressed his smile, "Actually, it's just one thing, I don't care what you want to do, what you want to plan, if you want me to believe you, you must Just tell me the truth, it's that simple."

Mu Jingzhao was stunned, and looked at her with a look of hesitation.

Jiang Ning is not stupid, she is just a bystander, it's not that she can't see the clues, she has no opinion on Mu Jingzhao's plan, and it has nothing to do with her, but if she wants to believe it, she must be honest.

The other party was silent for a moment, then bent down and hugged her without warning.

It was a very heavy and deep hug, because the distance between the two was a bit far, Mu Jingzhao had no choice but to get off the chair, squatted on the ground, looked up and hugged her.

In my memory, it was the first time Mu Jingzhao looked up at her like this.

There were no more words in this hug, but Jiang Ning inexplicably tasted a little joy of regaining what was lost.

After a long time, Mu Jingzhao let go of her, but did not sit back on the chair again, and still looked up at her in a half-kneeling posture.

The lines of his face looked very soft under the flickering light, but his eyes were shining, which made Jiang Ning inexplicably think of the way Xueqiu looked at him.

"Actually." Mu Jingzhao's voice was gentle and gentle, and he stretched out his hands to hold her hands that naturally hung between her legs.

The warmth from the other party's palm and the earnest tone made Jiang Ning inexplicably think of the scene when his mother stayed by the bed and told her stories when he was very young.

Such a gentle tone made Mu Jingzhao's brows and eyes stained with a long-lost tenderness.

"You should have guessed it, I plan to take this opportunity to uproot the Shen family." He said, with a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes.

A small explosion from the fire not far away seemed to respond to him.

"At that time we had just left Qingshui County, and I was worried that Shen Tong would do something to Pei Yu and the others, so I sent A Zheng to watch secretly, and at the same time, we cooperated with the queen to perform such a scene."

Jiang Ning trembled all over, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

In fact, she also guessed that the assassination was done on purpose, the purpose was to threaten Shen Tong not to attack Pei Yu and the others, and at the same time to stage this drama of the queen regaining favor.

But she never expected Shen Qingrong to play such a role in it.

Due to emotion and reason, she couldn't think of any reason for Shen Qingrong to deal with her father together with Mu Jingzhao.

"Empress, why?"

Mu Jingzhao sighed slightly, and could not help showing a bit of pity on his face.

"The relationship between the empress and the Shen family is far from what it seems on the surface. As the eldest daughter of the family and the empress of a country, the glory of the whole family is almost all on her alone."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly. Even if Mu Jingzhao didn't say these things, she could actually see them.

"It's just that everything Shen Tong did was for his youngest son. Even if it is this time to seek power and usurp the throne, the queen is still making a wedding dress for her younger brother."

Jiang Ning was taken aback, unable to turn his head around.

Logically speaking, if Mu Jingzhao passed away, then the first successor should be the son of Mu Jingzhao and Shen Qingrong, could it be——

Jiang Ning's eyes widened instantly.

"Yes, as you can imagine, Shen agrees to plot rebellion, but he doesn't want to bear the infamy of the whole world, so he wants to get rid of Zhen, help his youngest son to take power, and the queen's mother's family transfers power to gradually control the government."

Jiang Ning weighed it carefully in his heart. If things were really as Mu Jingzhao said, once the Shen family controlled the government and transferred power to Shen Qingrong's younger brother, Shen Qingrong would be in a very embarrassing situation.

To put it simply, she was completely drained of her last trace of value and became an abandoned child.

In such a situation, anyone would probably choose Mu Jingzhao.

No matter what you say about this topic, there is no way to get around the fact that the queen is pregnant, Jiang Ning couldn't help feeling frustrated.

Although there was no abnormality in his expression, the hand held by Mu Jingzhao couldn't help hiding back.

Mu Jingzhao's grip on her hand not only did not relax, but tightened a little bit. He looked up at Jiang Ning, with orange fire in his eyes.

"The queen is not pregnant." His tone was relaxed, as if he was quite happy.

Jiang Ning glanced at him, apparently in disbelief.

"Really not." He was a little helpless, "As far as our plan is concerned, having children will be more troublesome."

Jiang Ning stared at him without any relaxation.

Mu Jingzhao smiled at her, and there was a bit of flattering meaning in his words, "Besides, I have no relationship with the queen, and getting married is just a helpless act, and naturally there will be no reality of husband and wife."

Jiang Ning turned his face away and stopped looking at him.

Whether this kind of thing is true or not is just Mu Jingzhao's one-sided opinion. She has no way to verify it, and she is too lazy to entangle so much.

"Hey." Mu Jingzhao's tone was a bit smug, and Jiang Ning often heard this kind of tone in the conversation between Lu Feng and Zheliu.

He reached out and straightened Jiang Ning's face, forcing her to look at him.

"I've told you everything, but you have to keep your promise, trust me."

Jiang Ning nodded, agreeing.

"You probably know what happened next. The queen told me about Shen Tong's plan, and I'm just waiting for the day when he makes a move to uproot him." (End of this chapter)
