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

Chapter 206
Mu Jingzhao's voice became a little anxious, "I have held her funeral, and rewarded her family to appease her family. It is already a great gift for a servant! I have done my best."

Jiang Ning got up, and threw away the fur that Mu Jingzhao had draped over her body. She stared at Mu Jingzhao for a long while, and even laughed softly. "A great gift?" She hooked her lips into a smile, and the sarcasm on her face was even more serious, "This gift is what you thought, if it was given to you, would you want it?"

Mu Jingzhao choked for a moment, and also stared at Jiang Ning expressionlessly, without saying a word.

"The gift in your mouth is a well-built cemetery, it is to give her a good reputation as a loyal guardian, and it is to give her family a sum of money that is enough to settle down, but do you know that she is only 17 years old and has not yet married. She can also have a more complete and beautiful life, which is what she should have."

Mentioning this, Jiang Ning suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his chest.

"Just that day, just before going to the banquet that day." Jiang Ning closed her eyes in pain, barely suppressing the tears that were about to burst into her eyes, her lips trembling almost made it impossible for her to speak a complete sentence.

"I'm still discussing with her about her marriage with Lu Feng, a beautiful wedding, a happy husband, this is what she should have!"

Jiang Ning's voice was hoarse, and he even sounded a little hoarse when he yelled this sentence.

But when she suppressed her tears and opened her eyes, Mu Jingzhao in front of her was still looking at her without saying a word, with a calm expression.

At that moment, Jiang Ning instantly felt a basin of cold water poured on her head, cooling her heart from head to toe.

She suddenly understood that in Mu Jingzhao's eyes all her hoarseness at this time was just an unreasonable trouble.

Because Zhe Liu was no different to him from the hundreds of little maids in the palace.

She was just a servant who could be discarded and obliterated at any time, and this humble life was not enough to catch his eyes.

He couldn't understand that the minions in his eyes were all that supported Jiang Ning's survival.

"What do you want me to do?" Mu Jingzhao frowned slightly, his voice was cold, and his eyes were full of strangeness.

Jiang Ning straightened his body, and his tone gradually calmed down, "It's fair to make the person who killed her pay the price."

"So, you mean that I should arrest Shen Tong and kill him now, just because of a court lady?"

His tone was frivolous, and when he said the words "a court lady", he was extremely mocking and disdainful.

Jiang Ning was silent, probably already understood in his heart.

Whether it was his extremely mocking tone, or his deliberate obliteration that Shen Tong's real target of poisoning was himself, it was enough to show Mu Jingzhao's attitude.

This is his choice.

Regardless of whether it was Zhe Liu or himself who was poisoned at the banquet, they would be easily erased, for his own sake, and for the sake of the so-called righteousness of his family and country.

"I have already told my plan very clearly, and I also promised to give you an explanation. Why can't you bear with it and take care of the overall situation at such a critical moment of life and death?"

Jiang Ning looked up at him, his facial muscles trembling violently, and finally a distorted and weird smile appeared.

"Whose overall situation? What does your overall situation have to do with me?" She chuckled, and the resentment and sarcasm in her eyes were self-evident. However, there was no place to cry even for funerals; later, for the so-called overall situation, I forced my relatives and friends to become desperadoes, went to a dead end, and sacrificed the lives of countless people in Qingshui County. They even praised the instigator behind it; in the end, for the sake of the so-called overall situation, they made me turn a blind eye to the assassination that was close at hand, sacrificed my only relative and asked me why I was not satisfied."

She looked up at Mu Jingzhao, her cheeks flushed like a trapped animal, "Mu Jingzhao, why should I be content?"

Mu Jingzhao stared at her with an expression that seemed to be dodging. He vaguely saw those residents of Qingshui County who had died in vain, one by one, row by row, asking him hoarsely, "Your Majesty, why?"
"Why should I endure it? Why should I endure it? What have I gained after enduring it for so long? The people close to me died one after another, leaving only myself. If I endure it again, I can gain What? Who will be the next one to die unjustly?"

Mu Jingzhao stared at her blankly, as if he didn't know how to react.

He has seen countless appearances of Jiang Ning, she is innocent, she is cheerful, she is indifferent, and she is bright.

But there has never been any moment like now, the soaring resentment almost swallowed up all her innocence in the past, leaving only strangeness.

Mu Jingzhao watched, feeling a little palpitated.

"Ning'er—" He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and stretched out his hand to tug on Jiang Ning's shoulder.

In the next second, a white light flashed, and a dagger sank into his chest.

Mu Jingzhao paused, and he retracted the movement of holding Jiang Ning's shoulder in a daze. He lowered his head and looked at the dagger on his chest.

The dagger didn't penetrate very deep, but just submerged a blade shallowly. Blood oozed from the wound, dripped down the blade, and landed on the ground with a ticking sound.

Jiang Ning is obviously not very proficient in this kind of thing. Her movement of holding the dagger is a bit awkward, and her fingers are trembling slightly, but the movement of holding it tightly has never been relaxed in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, this old servant brought the medicinal soup!" Li Zinian shouted a few times outside the door, but there was no response from the room, he pushed the door hesitantly, and was about to enter the imperial study.

The door had just been pushed open a small crack, Mu Jingzhao came back to his senses, raised his hand, and the door was instantly closed with a muffled sound.

This sound seemed to have awakened Jiang Ning instantly, her hand trembled suddenly, and the dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Mu Jingzhao didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly.

She tried her best to take two deep breaths, and barely suppressed her beating heart. The sticky feeling from her fingers made her feel a little uncomfortable. She wiped her dress casually, and then managed to suppress the discomfort. go down.

"Mu Jingzhao." Jiang Ning took a deep breath, with a faint trembling in his voice, "From today onwards, the agreement between me and you will be terminated, and the two of us will have nothing to do with each other. If you really want to say yes, then you It is the accomplice who handed the knife to my enemy."

It was very difficult for her to speak. Every time she uttered a small sentence, she had to stop and slow down her breathing. She spoke a sentence intermittently for a long time.

In the end, she left a sentence, "From now on, you and I will never be in a relationship." Then she turned and left the imperial study.
