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

He looked much thinner, his hair was messy, his beard was unkempt, and his straight back was drooping. He stood quietly behind Zheliu, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Down and out and gloomy.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything more, and just invited the two of them into the house.

Initially, the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed extremely silent and depressing, until Jiang Ning couldn't hold it any longer, drank a glass of wine, lay crookedly on Zhe Liu and started talking nonsense.

She laughed and lamented that her revenge for more than ten years had been fulfilled; then she hugged Zheliu's neck and kissed her hard on the face, saying that she was really happy to have her family around; He cried out in tears that he finally got a good ending.

She wiped her tears with Snowball's ears and sobbed that it would be great if the Queen could be so free.

She sat on the ground and hugged Lin Zheng's calf tightly, refusing to let go, thanking him for everything he had done for her.

She patted Lu Feng on the head with sincerity and told him that he should understand the difficulty of breaking the willow. It was normal for people like them not to do things according to their heart.

Snowball couldn't stand being rubbed by her. He was so angry that he meowed and jumped up and down in the room.

Gradually, everyone present seemed to be infected by Jiang Ning's madness about surviving the disaster. They raised their hands to drink, some cried, some laughed, and some danced.

Jiang Ning leaned against the door and almost fell asleep. Before her consciousness faded, she felt like she heard Lin Zheng's words in her ears, as if she was murmuring in sleep.

"Will we meet again in the future? In fact, you know what I mean, right?"

Then, her head tilted and she lost consciousness.

In the following days, Jiang Ning and Zhe Liu started to tidy up the house, Lu Feng gradually cheered up, and came to the palace from time to time to help with some physical work.

Lin Zheng often came to take care of the seedlings he planted and did odd jobs.

The group of people returned to their previous appearance. No one mentioned the bloody storm that swept across the capital not long ago, and no one mentioned the increasingly strong smell of farewell in the air.

On this day, an uninvited guest came to the cold palace.

When Mu Jingzhao stepped into the palace door, Jiang Ning felt like he was in another world.

It seems that the struggle for power has become a thing of the past life.

That illusive dream, where everything seemed to be peaceful again, was completely broken by Mu Jingzhao that afternoon. When he stepped into the cold palace, he wore a gentle smile of triumph.

"Today is the fifteenth day. I wonder if my beloved concubine would like to have a drink with me and enjoy the bright moon together."

Jiang Ning received him with a smile.

Just like the fifteenth person who didn't know how long ago, she welcomed Mu Jingzhao into the house with a smile, then asked Zheliu to go to the imperial kitchen to get some prepared dishes to warm up.

Then, silently put a pack full of medicine into the soup cup.

It was only the size of a palm, a soup cup for one person.

She and Mu Jingzhao sat opposite each other, with a tacit understanding of distance and stiffness between them.

After drinking a glass of wine, Mu Jingzhao began to tell her about the past, saying that he was the only prince of Gongguo, and whether he wanted it or not, the throne would eventually fall into his hands alone, and he had no choice. select.

So he could only try his best to do what an emperor should do.

He silently accepted the queen arranged by his parents, and married the noble concubine and Ning Concubine in order to check and balance power. He had no choice but to use his marriage as a tool to consolidate imperial power.

He admitted that he married the concubine for his own selfish interests, that he was not as good as her in everything, and that he was afraid in his heart, but he did not admit that everything he did was to make her become the canary he raised. He said, "Battlefield" The friendship that lives and dies together is more precious than anything else.

He said that he was not a good emperor, but he was still willing to work hard for it.He said that if things happened again, he would try his best to prevent everything that happened back then, even if the final result was that Jiang Ning would not appear by his side.

He admitted that he was hypocritical, cunning, insidious and cowardly. He said that if there was anything left of his own, it would probably be his feelings for Jiang Ning.

He said that he would only beg for help once in his life. Just this time, he hoped that Jiang Ning could stay. He would do his best to give her freedom and respect. As long as she was willing, he was willing to tear off his hypocritical emperor's cloak and tell everything true. Give her everything.

He said that if it wasn't for her appearance, he would probably never know what respect and compromise are all his life, and he fell into it, and he was willing to do so.

Jiang Ning also looked at him, with a pair of black grape-like eyes that were filled with mist.

In the next second, she took a gulp of the soup with the fake death medicine in front of her.

If it is said that all of this was a mistake, then it should not be allowed to continue.

----

In the fifth year of Showa, Shen Tong, Minister of the Household Department, launched a coup and threatened the emperor Mu Jingzhao to abdicate with the order of the prince, but was stopped by the imperial guards who arrived in time.In this palace incident that shocked the whole country, Imperial Concubine Liu Jinfu and Concubine Ning Jiang Ning both died while escorting them. They were posthumously named Imperial Concubine and Concubine Ning respectively. The whole country mourned, and the funeral was held for nearly half a month.All the male members of the Shen family were beheaded, and the smell of blood lingered in Kyoto for decades. The queen of the Shen family was thrown into the cold palace, with no chance of being favored anymore.

What made the people talk about it even more was the recent appearance of a new female general in Gongguo. It was said that the female general was invincible and majestic, quite reminiscent of the former female general.

However, these after-dinner conversations have little impact on the daily lives of Kyoto people.

On the official road, a woman wearing a light green skirt held a lunch box and walked briskly towards the entrance of the imperial city.

She is still young, with a somewhat girlish smile on her face.

When she arrived at the gate of the imperial city, the man in imperial uniform had been waiting for a long time. She stepped forward in two steps and handed him the lunch box on her wrist with a skillful movement.

The man took out half of the food from the lunch box and returned the lunch box again.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then the woman trotted towards Bei City with her lunch box in hand.

At the same time, a figure dressed in bright red gauze rode a white horse and marched into the capital in an instant.The figure on the carriage was well-dressed, with black hair in a high beam, and a pair of eyebrows and eyes under the silver mask with a bit of bright heroism.

Wherever the horses went, the people fled in panic.

At this time, in the northern corner of the city, a storyteller stall was filled with densely packed listeners.

"By the way, the female general's family is dressed in red clothes like fire, with the posture of heaven and man, and her frown and smile are all boundless charm." The storyteller's girl looked intoxicated and longing.

"Master, it's time to eat." The young woman shouted crisply, and the girl's storyteller's voice stopped abruptly. She gestured to the audience, "Okay everyone, let's eat first, and we will continue later."

The young woman came forward with a lunch box in her hands, and all the guests got up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard not far away.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a figure as red as fire coming on horseback. As everyone fled in a hurry, they suddenly realized that this person seemed to be exactly the same as the female general in the storybook.

The man drove his horse straight to the story-telling stall. As he approached the story-telling stall, she reined in her horse, jumped off the horse, and walked up to the story-telling girl in two steps.

She smiled like a flower and took off her mask in an instant, revealing a face that confounded all living beings.

She said, "Leyin, long time no see."
