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

Chapter 29 The Crystal of Tears

After the two finished their meal in relative silence, Mu Jingzhao put on his clothes and prepared to leave.

At this time, the night was already deep.The two of them were already yawning while talking.Finally, the small talk was finally given up and the meal was eaten relatively wordlessly.

Mu Jingzhao stood at the door, looking at her quietly, with a thousand words in his eyes.

His eyes slowly fell on the mole on Jiang Ning's face, his thoughts were in a trance, and he suddenly thought of a legend that his mother told him a long time ago.

The queen mother said that every mole that grows on a person has its own unique meaning.

For example, his father, who stepped on seven stars, was the symbol of the real dragon emperor, and the mole in front of his eyes was the crystallization of countless tears.

But at this moment, Jiang Ning didn't know what Mu Jingzhao was thinking. She only knew that she could finally sleep peacefully.

So she smiled brightly, and kept shaking Mu Jingzhao's hand, trying to drive this living ancestor away in this way.

But what she didn't know was that the moment she waved to Mu Jingzhao, Mu Jingzhao saw a weed-like vitality on her face.

Such a moment left an unprecedented shock in Mu Jingzhao's heart.

He just stared at Jiang Ning blankly. After a long time, he finally said slowly, "You, rest early, I have sent someone to protect you these days, don't worry."

Jiang Ning kept waving at Mu Jingzhao with that brilliant smile.

"If you have any discomfort in your body, remember to go to the imperial doctor."'

Jiang Ning still smiled brightly and couldn't stop nodding.

"You don't want to investigate that matter, so as not to startle the snake."

Jiang Ning nodded like a pounding garlic, she felt that her face was sore from laughing.

"Then I'm leaving."

Jiang Ning nodded, wishing he could kick Mu Jingzhao out of the cold palace.

"Remember to wash my clothes."

She couldn't laugh anymore, she just kept waving her hands at him.

Mu Jingzhao finally left, she quickly closed the door, lay back on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

It was the same dream again, with the raging fire, the dying parents, the hoarse sister, and the man with blood on his hands.

The next day, Jiang Ning slept until noon, and when she woke up, Zhe Liu came to gossip with her about last night's affairs with a full face of anticipation.

"Your Majesty, were you enjoying watching the moon with the Emperor last night?"

"My lady, why did the emperor leave suddenly in the middle of the night last night? Why didn't he stay here overnight?"

"Your Majesty, why are there so many imperial guards guarding the outside of our palace? Are you having trouble with the emperor?"

"My lady, why did you let the emperor come to watch the moon last night? Don't you know the rules in the palace?"

……

One question after another hurled at Jiang Ning, making Jiang Ning, who was sleep deprived and uncomfortable all over, feel dizzy and dizzy.

She rubbed her sore temples, lowered her head and took a sip of the porridge.

She sipped the porridge carelessly, and said casually as if she was talking to herself, "Happy."

"Because I want to play hard to get."

"Because the emperor is worried about the safety of the palace."

"Because I miss the emperor."

.....
She made up a bunch of nonsense almost without thinking.

"Wait, what's the rule?"

Zhe Liu's eyes widened in surprise, "Your Majesty, don't you know? The Emperor will go to the Empress's Palace on the fifteenth day of every month. This is an unwritten rule in the palace."

Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat, oh my god, she's really good, she's only been in the harem for two months, the imperial concubine treats her coldly, the emperor wants to cut her into pieces, and the leader of the imperial guards treats her with swords Xiangxiang, this is all right, she even offended the queen.

"Girl Zheliu." She called Zheliu in a panic, "Go and take out a peacock feather hairpin from Bengong's box. I'm going to visit the Empress later."

Zhe Liu quickly said yes, then got up from his seat, quickly packed the peacock feather hairpin in a delicate small box, and sent it to Jiang Ning.

She put away the peacock feather hairpin and was about to get up to wash up when she sat back down again.

"No, I have more important things to do today." She waved her hand at Zhe Liu, "Get ready for the storytelling table, I want to be a storyteller."

Zheliu froze for a moment, but she dared not forget what Mu Jingzhao told her to take care of Jiang Ning's body.

"Your Majesty, you are not feeling well, you should rest more."

"Go quickly, don't you listen to Bengong's words?"

Jiang Ning's words were out of his mouth, and only then did he realize that his tone was a little blunt.

Zhe Liu, who had never heard her speak so bluntly before, was slightly taken aback, and then walked out of the palace gate without further words.

-

In Shenshi, it was Jiang Ning's daily storytelling day again.

Perhaps it was because the news that Mu Jingzhao was in the Jiangning Palace last night had already spread throughout the palace, so there were many more people watching the excitement today than in the past.

The exhaustion of the whole night made Jiang Ning not in the mood to care about the people's gossip, nor was he in the mood to argue for himself.

She just sat down in her seat, cleared her throat and began to tell a story.

"That was the first time that this palace and the emperor were separated. At that time, the emperor was still the prince. He was ordered to go to the people to deal with the floods, and this palace ran away from home and set up his own family by the river, living in seclusion and farming."

"That year, the Li River was severely flooded, and the farmland planted by Ben Gong also suffered heavy losses due to the severe floods. There was no harvest, so I had to keep selling the jewelry I brought from the house to make ends meet."

"Relying on my prominent family background, I can barely make ends meet, but the common people who have taken root by the riverside are in dire straits and are in dire straits."

"I tried my best to set up porridge sheds to help the people, but it was just a drop in the bucket. Later, the emperor came, and he became everyone's hope, including mine."

"At that time, the emperor was still young, and he was at the age of daring to work hard. As soon as he came, he waved his hand and decided to build a dam on the Lijiang River."

"This is a good thing, but if the emperor wants to build a dam, he must occupy farmland. The location of the house in the palace is exactly the perfect location for the dam to be built in the eyes of the emperor."

"The emperor found me and told me that I should give up my house for the sake of the overall situation and the people of Liming. But I refused, because that house had concentrated all my hard work and energy. I didn't want to give up, but the emperor said I would not General knowledge, selfishness."

"The two of us were at a stalemate. In the end, the emperor sent someone to tear down my house, seize my farmland, and kill all my livestock. From that moment on, I swore that I would be irreconcilable with him."

This time, Jiang Ning never cared about the emotions and expressions of the audience. She finished everything in one breath as if she was venting something.

She looked up at the auditorium, and there was still a bit of hostility in her eyes that she hadn't had time to restrain.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw the entrance of Lenggong, behind the crowd, Lin Zheng was staring at her intently, with a compassionate expression.
