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

Chapter 218 Stay and Be My Queen

Jiang Ning and Li Zinian hurriedly walked down the long street one after the other.

The two stood in front of each other, maintaining a proper distance.

They were silent all the way, and neither of them seemed to feel anything wrong with this.The relationship between people is always changing silently, without any notice, but sometimes a casual glance will make people shudder.

The same was true for her and Mu Jingzhao. Looking back carefully, perhaps her relationship with Mu Jingzhao had changed a long, long time ago.

Maybe it was when she returned to Qingshui County, maybe it was the day Zheliu died, maybe it was when she assassinated him for the first time, maybe it was earlier.

It's just that they didn't realize it at that time.

Until today, when all these problems and estrangements reappeared, they realized that all these problems had already reached the point of no return.

Dark clouds pressed over the city, and overlapping dark clouds covered the entire sky, forming countless lead-gray patches of varying shades.

A dense and sticky water vapor floated in the air, wrapping people tightly, almost making it hard to breathe.

Jiang Ning had just taken two steps when he felt that his clothes and hair were filled with moisture, and his whole body was pulled down by the wetness.

A muffled thunder rolled across the sky, as if to herald the arrival of this downpour.

It has not rained in Kyoto for a long time.

The downpour on the day of the palace change gave hope to all the people in Kyoto. Everyone thought it was the beginning, and everything would be smooth and rainy in the future, but they didn't expect that it was actually the end.

Since that day, the layer of dark clouds in the sky of Kyoto has never dissipated, but no drop of rain has fallen.

The people have already recognized the facts in the waiting day after day, and gradually despaired of all this.

"Your Majesty, I will send you here." Li Zinian sent Jiang Ning outside the Yangxin Hall and said goodbye.

"Thank you." Jiang Ning nodded, watched Li Zinian leave, and walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall alone.

In the Yangxin Hall, Mu Jingzhao was sitting at the table, raising his pen and writing something on the paper. The round table in the center of the room was filled with all kinds of wine and delicacies.

The moment Jiang Ning opened the door, Mu Jingzhao looked up at her with a look of surprise on his face.

"You're here." Mu Jingzhao hurriedly put down his pen and walked quickly to her.

"I have specially prepared wine and food to apologize to you."

Jiang Ning didn't care about the delicious food and wine on the table, but just stood there staring at him in a daze.

"Okay, let's eat quickly." Mu Jingzhao reached out to support her shoulders, and led her to the table.

Jiang Ning shivered uncomfortably.

She seemed to have accepted Mu Jingzhao's ugly and sinister face in her heart, and she felt a little creepy even if he was kind to her.

Sensing Jiang Ning's dodge, Mu Jingzhao withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and took two steps back to the side.

"It was my fault before and I shouldn't have ignored your feelings."

Jiang Ning turned her head in astonishment, but saw that Mu Jingzhao's expression was sincere, her heart was complicated, and she didn't know how to react.

She is really unable to accept the other party's behavioral style.

In fact, she could completely understand that Mu Jingzhao was forced to do some things as an emperor, and she could also accept that he couldn't tell her some of his plans.

But she couldn't accept it no matter what, everyone knew about his plan, knew about his planning, but only herself, alone, was kept in the dark and deceived around.She was the one who was deceived, she was the one who was played around, and she was the one who was sacrificed, but in the end, the other party's understated apology wanted to erase all of this.

She couldn't take it, not at all.

Jiang Ning was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

"As the emperor, the emperor can't make mistakes." Jiang Ning walked to the dining table and sat down, looking at the delicious food on the table.

There is a wide variety of dishes, but they are not complicated.

Most of them are just the ones she likes the most among the things she eats in the cold palace every day.

After being choked by her, Mu Jingzhao became extremely silent. He quietly walked to the side and sat down, took Jiang Ning's bowl and poured her a bowl of soup, his movements were naturally done in one go.

"I have already drafted an edict to deal with the Shen family."

Jiang Ning paused slightly as he held the bowl.

"All the property of the Shen family was confiscated. Men over the age of 16 were beheaded, those under the age of 16 were sent to the frontier, and the female relatives were demoted to civilians. As for the queen—" He picked up the wine glass, put it on his lips, and "infiltrated Leng Gong."

Jiang Ning trembled violently as he held the bowl.

"Now, these matters are settled, and the agreement between me and you is considered complete. Tomorrow, I will ask Li Zinian to give you the agreed money." He took a deep breath, and his gloomy phoenix eyes were full of helplessness and embarrassment. , "Would you like to stay?"

Jiang Ning felt that her breathing stopped, and the temperature of the glazed bowl in her hand was lost little by little. She moved stiffly, picked up the bowl, and took a sip, barely swallowing the discomfort in her throat.

"Stay here and be my queen."

The soup, which was only half left in the bowl, shook violently and was almost spilled.

"I can give you whatever you want. If you want money, everything I have is yours. If you want a pure harem, I will give Concubine Liu Gui freedom. Apart from you, there will be no one else in the harem. .”

Jiang Ning's throat was sour, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't make a sound. She tightened her hand holding the glass bowl, but tears dripped down the corners of her eyes, and fell into the soup bowl in front of her, causing circles ripple.

She didn't know why she was crying, but at this moment, she just wanted to cry happily.

I don't know if it's for myself or for the fate of teasing others.

"I have another surprise for you."

Her tears dripped and formed countless nested circles in the soup bowl, and her ears were buzzing, and she could hardly hear what the other party was saying.

Mu Jingzhao snapped his fingers, followed by footsteps.

"Niang Niang——" Zhe Liu's voice seemed to have been heard for a long time, Jiang Ning was taken aback, and even thought he had an illusion, "Niang Niang, you are a slave."

She raised her head abruptly, with tears in her eyes, she saw Zhe Liu standing not far in front of her.

She rubbed her eyes suddenly, and then she saw clearly.

The opponent is still the same as before, only a little thinner, but there is no doubt that he is broken.

Joy mixed with shock, anger, and countless emotions surged up instantly, so much so that Jiang Ning forgot how to react.

"Ning'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you. That day I learned that Shen Tong wanted to poison you, so I found Zhe Liu and asked her to play this scene with me. Only in this way, Shen Tong would relax his vigilance. , thinking that we really broke up."

Jiang Ning's ears were buzzing, she looked at Mu Jingzhao in front of her, and Zhe Liu, and felt that everything about her was extremely strange.
