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

When Shen Tong entered Changle Palace, Shen Qingrong had already started giving birth, and Shen Qingrong's feeble shouts could be heard from time to time in the hall.

"Your Majesty." Shen Tong didn't bring any entourage with him. He was dressed in commoner clothes, with a good appearance and a long sword on his waist. There was no trace of indulgence in his demeanor.It seems that I have been preparing for this moment for a long time.

"The old minister was worried about the safety of Rong'er and the prince, so he came here to wait."

Mu Jingzhao paused as he paced back and forth, then turned to look at him, "My father-in-law cares about the queen and the child, I am very grateful." As he said this, there was no trace of gratitude on his face.

The two of them paced around the door like headless chickens for an unknown amount of time, and Shen Qingrong's painful wailing in the room gradually became exhausted.

Seeing that Mu Jingzhao and Shen Tong were lying down with sweat on their foreheads, Ling Yue kindly led them to sit down at a wooden table beside him, and then kindly served hot tea.

The two drank together around the table for a while, relatively silent. At this moment, a baby's cry suddenly broke out in the inner room.

Shen Tong immediately stood up in relief, with a smile of victory appearing on his face.

On the other hand, Mu Jingzhao, the anxiety on his face was not relieved because of the birth of the prince, but it was a little bit more dignified.

"Your Majesty? But what's wrong?" Seeing that Mu Jingzhao hadn't moved, Shen Tong gave him a condescending look with a look of contempt.

"Not at all." Mu Jingzhao said, and got up following Shen Tong's movements.The two came to the door of the delivery room together.

There was a sound of footsteps from far to near in the house, the door was opened, and Granny Wen came to the two of them with a cloth bag in her arms.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Mr. Shen, you are a little prince."

With a look of great joy on his face, Shen Tong stepped forward to take the child from Granny Wen's hand and hugged him in his arms, his movements were gentle and careful.

But Mu Jingzhao froze slightly when he heard the word "little prince", even the far-fetched smile on his face froze.

"Good boy, hahaha, really my good grandson!" Shen Tong laughed wantonly, that laughter seemed to startle the child in his arms, and the child burst into tears instantly.

Shen Tong seemed to have never heard of it, and the smile on his face remained undiminished. He hugged the child, and kept teasing the child's cheek with his rough fingers, "Your Majesty, I see that this child has clear eyes and clear eyes, and his loud cry is an incomparable talent. Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Mu Jingzhao's expression was indifferent, and there seemed to be a deep chill in his eyes. His eyes did not stay on the baby in Shen Tong's arms for a moment, but instead looked quietly into the delivery room.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Thunder bursts in the house, and the humid and hot summer air stagnates in the house. Under the dim light, Shen is mixed with the unscrupulous laughter and the hoarse cry of the baby, which makes people feel cold.

Shen Tong still lowered his head and teased the baby in his arms. He smiled, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mu Jingzhao in front of him, "This child was born with an auspicious omen that is rare in ten years. I think it is not extraordinary."

He suddenly raised his head to look at Mu Jingzhao, and the smile on his face was even wider, "I think that now that the capital is in turmoil and people are panicking, it is better to announce the news of the queen's birth of Lin'er to the world, so as to win the hearts of the people."

Mu Jingzhao looked up at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"The minister will help the emperor think about the announcement."

Footsteps came from outside the hall, and after a while, a group of armored soldiers poured into the hall and surrounded Mu Jingzhao.

Shen Tong raised his hand, and the soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths in an instant, and the hall was filled with cold light, and the sword pointed directly at Mu Jingzhao's neck.

"Why don't you just say that His Majesty is well aware of his incompetence in governing the country, coupled with his poor health, so he decided to make the newborn prince the new emperor, and he himself will retire as the Supreme Emperor. How about not asking about court affairs from now on?"

Mu Jingzhao put on a smile but didn't smile, "I appreciate my father-in-law's kindness, but now that I am an upright man, in good health, I don't need my father-in-law to worry about the affairs of the court."

Shen Tong still smiled, "Your majesty is really determined not to die until the Yellow River. Now your martial arts commander is trapped in Qingshui County, and he has no skills at all. The young son of the Liu family who is the deputy commander of the Imperial Army is just a fool. He has the ability to lead the army." Who is the emperor waiting for to rescue you who is less than one-thousandth of his elder sister?"

Mu Jingzhao was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Father-in-law is notorious now, I'm afraid that if he takes away my Mu family's country, he won't be able to hold it securely."

Shen Tong still smiled, "How dare you? The emperor used all despicable means to win Miss Liu's military exploits and ascended the throne. At that time, the veteran will reveal all the truth to the public. Even if the veteran has a bad reputation, it will not be as good as one-thousandth of the emperor. "

Mu Jingzhao's face changed suddenly, he stared at Shen Tong, and grunted like a beast from his throat.

He gritted his teeth, and his voice was heavy but trembling, "I threw my head and blood for the land of Gongguo and galloped across the battlefield. I deserve the military merits. How can I say whether to seize it or not?"

When Shen Tong heard this, he burst out laughing.

This laughter, it is rare, has a little more sincerity.

"The emperor first facilitated the meeting between Ms. Liu and General Liu, so that her identity was exposed in public, and it was logical to let General Liu deal with her in public, and played a heroic rescue of the beauty, which made everyone feel that the emperor is kind and righteous. , What a clever method, people are amazed when they hear it."

Shen Tong's voice was always calm, but his face was full of sarcasm.

In terms of meanness and shamelessness, how can I compare with you?
Mu Jingzhao's face was green and white. If he hadn't lost the strength to resist at this time, he would have rushed forward and cut Shen Tong into pieces.

"It's a pity for that girl of the Liu family." Shen Tong sighed helplessly, "She probably thought that His Majesty married her back then and then ordered to stop Tixia Youyou's mouth. It was really to protect her last little bit of dignity, but she didn't know that the Emperor got it." After gaining a good reputation in the military, he personally made her permanently disabled, but he still refused to let her go, and he wanted to raise people like birds, so as to prevent future troubles and let her die in depression."

"Words." Mu Jingzhao spat angrily, but the muscles on his face trembled slightly because of the anger, "If I hadn't protected her, she would have died a long time ago. She can survive to this day because of my extra kindness. Because of me, she barely has a way out!"

Shen Tong was still smiling, and he looked at Mu Jingzhao in front of him calmly, with a peaceful expression, as if he was treating a vexatious child.

"If you can choose, the child would rather die than stay with someone like you."

She would rather die than stay with someone like you.

Vaguely, Mu Jingzhao felt as if a certain place in his chest had been pricked by a needle, it was just a shallow cut, and the heart-piercing pain really flowed through every inch of his body along with his blood. .

"Mu Jingzhao, from now on, we will cut off all kindness and justice."

Jiang Ning's indifferent and calm words echoed in his ears.

He was suddenly a little dizzy, and there was a dull pain in the chest where Jiang Ning stabbed, and the pain densely covered every corner of his body, almost completely crushing him.

Gratitude is absolute.

She would rather die than be with someone like you.

He felt like he could barely breathe.
