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

Chapter 3
The red hijab blocked Jiang Ning's sight. Looking through the gaps in the red cloth, she could only see the red cloth shoes embroidered with golden chrysanthemums slowly approaching her.

The red cloth shoes were not far in front of Jiang Ning, "Oh, it's all right, the girl just fell asleep by accident, she tilted her body and hit her head." Jiang Ning judged from the voice that the person who came was probably an old woman.

The old mother stretched out her hand to help her up, "The girl is losing her temper with me, I'll coax her."

Jiang Ning was so startled that he trembled all over, struggling hard to break free from the shackles of the old nanny.

The old mother's hand holding Jiang Ning's arm tightened suddenly, and the stinging pain from the flesh made Jiang Ning grin his teeth in shock, but his mouth was stuffed with rags, so he could only make a few "hmmmm" sounds.

Just as she was struggling, a cold light flashed, and a snow-white dagger was pressed against Jiang Ning's neck
"If I were you, I would be more honest." The old mother's tone was heavy, which made Jiang Ning feel cold, "You are in my hands now, be sensible, I can save your life, do you understand?"

Jiang Ning nodded, and the old mother turned around and got out of the sedan chair.

The procession of seeing off the relatives continued to move forward, and the procession gradually changed from noisy to peaceful.

After an unknown amount of time, the bridal sedan chair finally landed, and the old woman untied Jiang Ning, helped her get off the bridal sedan chair, and walked a long way.

Along the way, the old nanny talked a lot to Jiang Ning.

The general content is, give her 5 taels of silver to assassinate tonight's groom, if Jiang Ning is unwilling, it will be a dead end.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to respond first and think of countermeasures later.

The old mother seemed very satisfied with Jiang Ning's performance, and handed Jiang Ning a dagger, and handed her over to another young maid.

Jiang Ning covered her head and didn't know where she was. After being threatened by the old mother, she no longer dared to act rashly, so she was obediently brought into the bridal chamber.

She stayed alone in the bridal chamber for a long time, surrounded by silence, only the dancing shadow of the candle was shaking on her feet.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard the shrill "The Emperor is here—" outside the door, and she suddenly realized that she was actually sent into the palace.

And the one I want to marry is the current Holy Majesty.

The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and heavy and soothing footsteps sounded in the empty room. Jiang Ning understood that the target to be assassinated tonight was approaching her.

Fortunately, the other party didn't say much to her, and directly lifted her hijab.

She looked at the exquisitely embroidered golden dragon pattern on the opponent's body, and she almost burst into tears.She really couldn't imagine that in this world, apart from the emperor, who could uphold justice for her.

The urgency in her heart made her temporarily forget the fear in her heart, and she subconsciously wanted to grab the other party's collar and tell her what happened.

Reluctantly, Jiang Ning's limbs were already weak after being tied up for a long time. She just stepped forward to meet her, and she fell down at the feet of the emperor.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ning hugged the emperor, Mu Jingzhao's thigh.

Regardless of Mu Jingzhao's struggle, Jiang Ning hugged his thigh and told him what happened to him in the past few days.

Deep in love, Jiang Ning held the dagger that the old woman gave her, and wept bitterly to promise her loyalty to the emperor.

Then, Mu Jingzhao treated her as a raving lunatic and threw her out of the palace.

Afterwards, Zhe Liu, an unlucky maid she had never met, was also thrown out of the palace.

The master and servant were sent to the cold palace non-stop.

Jiang Ning was quite happy and relaxed in the cold palace at first.

She was originally a storyteller outside the palace, from nine to five, rain or shine.After finally being idle and lazy, she couldn't wish for it, so she lay down and died every day, treating it as a long vacation for nothing.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about food and drink in the palace, and the conditions are good.

Until one day, the desperate Zhe Liu held a mouse and almost swallowed it alive in front of Jiang Ning.

It was only then that Jiang Ning realized that her comfortable life in the cold palace was the result of her selfless sacrifice.

She suddenly felt a little guilty, after all, Zhe Liu was also implicated by her.

So she decided to go back to her old business and support herself and the willows with her own hands.

But in the cold palace, it is always inconvenient to move, so Jiang Ning asked Zheliu's best friend, Lu Feng, to find a way to attract the palace people here.

And she and Zhe Liu dug a big hole under the corner of the cold palace, and began to tell stories to the palace people outside the hole.

Jiang Ning thought about it, and felt that what people are talking about most now is the gossip of the masters in the palace, especially the fact that she was thrown into the cold palace not long ago.

So, she told everyone about the ups and downs of her love story with Mu Jingzhao, causing countless palace people to cry in the corner.

Jiang Ning made a lot of money from storytelling, not to mention, and successfully convinced everyone that she and Mu Jingzhao had an unforgettable past, and the reason why she was in the cold palace was because of unspeakable misunderstandings and difficulties .

It's only a matter of time before she walks out of the cold palace and becomes a favorite concubine.

Even if the palace people had doubts about Jiang Ning's twists and turns and bizarre stories, such doubts were quickly dispelled.

All the unreasonable things became reasonable under Jiang Ning's status as the "prime minister's daughter".

Therefore, everyone was very happy to give Jiang Ning a favor.

After all, if she gains power and is promoted, she will be able to rise to the top just around the corner, and if she loses power, there is nothing to lose.

Thus, Jiang Ning survived in the cold palace like this.

-

At this moment, in Shuanghua Palace.

Jiang Ning looked at Mu Jingzhao in front of him in amazement, and finally, she succumbed to the unshakable imperial power.

"What does the emperor want the villain to do?"

The corner of Mu Jingzhao's mouth outlined a winning smile, "Kill me."

He couldn't help but stuff the gold ingot in Jiang Ning's hand, "Didn't that thief buy my life with 5 taels of silver?" Then he got up instantly, "Then I will buy my life with 10 taels of gold." Buy it back."

Jiang Ning was a little dazed. She stared blankly at the heavy gold ingot in her hand. For the first time in her life, she was worried about the future of this country.

As if finally aware of his slip of the tongue, Mu Jingzhao stopped awkwardly and sat down again.

"Little man..." Jiang Ning opened her mouth. She wanted to ask if she had a choice.

When the words came to his lips, he felt a little redundant, "What does the emperor want the villain to do?"

Hearing her question, Mu Jingzhao sat up straight and said in a serious voice, "Assassinate me according to your original plan."

Jiang Ning originally wanted to argue that it was not his plan or anyone else's plan, but when he got to his lips, he was held back.

"No matter what method or method you use, I will only give you five chances." He raised his chin and looked at her condescendingly, "If you succeed, I will give you the reward I promised, if you fail..."

The second half of the sentence was swallowed by Mu Jingzhao. In fact, there was no need to say it. Jiang Ning could probably guess what it was.

"The first time, it will be on the fifteenth day of this month."

"What if the villain is captured as an assassin?"

"I will pardon you innocent."

"What if the villain's assassination succeeds?"

"I will leave a will to fulfill my promise."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, but still did not ask any practical questions, and the two faced each other silently in the palace.

Finally, Mu Jingzhao said slowly, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and knelt up straight, "The villain has one more thing to ask."

"What's the matter?"

She looked at Mu Jingzhao, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing voice, "After the matter is completed, the emperor can set the villain free."

Mu Jingzhao didn't seem to expect her to say such a word at all. He stared at Jiang Ning blankly for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She solemnly kowtowed to Mu Jingzhao, and then got up to leave, "If there is nothing else, the villain will leave first."

"Change your name."

Jiang Ning paused, "The concubine resigns."

She thought for a while, "Can the concubine's storytelling continue?"

"Yes." Mu Jingzhao's voice was very soft, "Tell me a positive image."

She nodded and closed the door for Mu Jingzhao.

Jiang Ning played with the gold ingot in his hand, and walked towards the cold palace in the setting sun.

If she remembers correctly, the day she was kidnapped was also in the same weather.

Ren Jiang Ning was thinking hard and didn't understand, if the other party really wanted to take Mu Jingzhao's life, why would he choose her to marry instead of the prime minister's daughter?

I was just a storyteller on the street, weak, weak, talented and handsome, and had nothing to do with the prime minister's residence.

There are obviously thousands of better choices to complete this arduous task, but why, is it her?

Before Jiang Ning reached the cold palace, he saw a group of palace people surrounded by a corner of the wall.

A court lady in green saw her and yelled crisply, "Concubine Ning is back——"

The crowd turned to look at her one after another, and looked at her with curiosity or concern.

But Jiang Ning didn't care about that much anymore, what happened today was too much and too complicated, which made her dizzy all of a sudden, and now she just wanted to fall asleep and didn't care about other things.

So she waved her hands weakly to everyone, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't talk about the book. It's hard work for everyone to wait for a while. Tomorrow, the palace will talk for half an hour longer."

However, not only did the crowd not disperse because of her words, but the surprise in their eyes got deeper and deeper.

Jiang Ning was puzzled, turned around and looked in the direction of the crowd, and saw an old eunuch with a red nose running towards her panting at the corner of the long street.

Seeing Jiang Ning turning his head, the old eunuch was overjoyed and waved at Jiang Ning, "Mother! You are walking too fast. The servant followed you all the way, but I didn't catch up!"

The old eunuch stopped in front of Jiang Ning, and he smiled flatteringly, "Madam, you have finally made it through!" After finishing speaking, he cleared his throat, stopped his back, took out a scroll from his arms, and unfolded it unhurriedly. , raised his voice in a sharp voice and said: "Follow the heavens, the emperor Zhao said."

Jiang Ning knelt down when he heard the sound, and the palace people behind him knelt down in unison.

"Concubine Ning Jiang, with good conduct and good morals, is authorized to restore her status and title as a concubine, move out of the Leng Palace, and move to Mingyue Tower—" Then, the old eunuch read out a bunch of bits and pieces of rewards, but Jiang Ning Didn't listen too much.

In the end, Jiang Ning kowtowed, but did not accept the order, but raised his head and said: "Please tell the emperor, my father-in-law, I don't want to move."
