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

Chapter 49
Mu Jingzhao struggled for a moment, and finally resigned himself to carrying Jiang Ning to Shuanghua Palace.

Outside Shuanghua Palace, Empress Shen Qingrong and several court ladies and eunuchs were standing under the steps of Shuanghua Palace with the palace gates closed.

At the gate of the palace, Ling Yue was clenching her fist, "Bang Bang" kept smashing at the closed red door.

"Imperial concubine, empress, please open the door."

"Imperial concubine, my servant also knows that you don't like being disturbed, but our mother is also ordered by the emperor, why do you want to embarrass me?"

"Imperial concubine, if you don't open the door again, the servants will force their way in!"

However, no matter how Ling Yue tried to coerce and lure her, the closed red door still remained motionless.

It was a rare sunny day, and the small piece of sky above the imperial city was blue and far-reaching, cloudless.The afternoon sun poured unscrupulously on the crimson courtyard wall, falling on Shen Qingrong's slightly pale face.

Although it was only in early spring, there was a hint of heat in the sunlight.The long wait caused beads of sweat to ooze from Shen Qingrong's forehead.

Even so, she still stood with a dignified posture, with a slight smile on her face.

Shen Qingrong's cheeks were slightly red, and the broken hair at the corner of her forehead was clinging to her sweaty forehead, in an unspeakable embarrassment.

Seeing her like this, the palace maid in yellow hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and went forward to help her wipe the sweat off her forehead, her face was full of distress.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu Gui is too bullying, she is just the daughter of a reckless man, what is there to be proud of! Your Majesty is the mother of a country, with a body of ten thousand gold, she can actually be humiliated and trampled upon!"

"Spoken words." Shen Qingrong glanced lightly, and the palace maid in yellow trembled, then bowed back.

"Lingyue."

"Yes."

Ling Yue's movement of banging on the door suddenly stopped, "Imperial Concubine, our empress is following orders, if you insist on obstructing, our empress will offend you, please bear with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yue turned her head and nodded vigorously to the eunuch beside Shen Qingrong.

"Yes!" The eunuchs nodded vigorously, and then flocked to the entrance of Shuanghua Palace in unison.

"I'll count one, two, three, and let's run over together."

"Yes."

"one two Three--"

As soon as the words fell, a group of young eunuchs rushed towards the gate of Shuanghua Palace in a neat movement.

The bodies of the people slammed into the gate of Shuanghua Palace suddenly, and the closed gate of Shuanghua Palace made a muffled "bang", and the red gate trembled suddenly, but it still did not open.

"One, two—"

"stop."

Everyone paused, turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw Mu Jingzhao standing upright on the palace road, and Jiang Ning was hanging on him.

The coercion brought by the emperor's status made everyone dare not act rashly, so they quickly bowed and saluted, "Good luck, the emperor."

"Queen." Mu Jingzhao came to Shen Qingrong with Jiang Ning on his back, "What are you doing?"

Shen Qingrong got up, her expression remained the same, "The concubine was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Fuling's death, and learned that Fuling had a close personal relationship with Mengyin from Concubine Liu's palace before her death, so I came to investigate."

"I asked you to investigate, not to break into the palace."

Shen Qingrong's expression was still neither humble nor overbearing, "Concubine Liu Gui avoids seeing her, the concubine has no choice."

Mu Jingzhao's face froze. Now, he put himself in a dilemma.

If he remained indifferent, he would hit the queen in the face, and if he went up and knocked on the door, he would hit Liu Jinfu in the face.

Jiang Ning lay on Mu Jingzhao's back, her thoughts were confused, and she sighed in her heart that this is really a big show, and she must "that" if she is not in vain. Bring me my ladder, you go over the wall, open the door from the palace and let us in, what do you think?"

Mu Jingzhao turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ning with an unfriendly expression.

However, Jiang Ning continued to chatter ignorantly, "Let me tell you, there is a bamboo forest behind the cold palace, and if you jump in from there, it will be a piece of grass. Even if you fall, no one will respond to you, it will not hurt you. My ladder is strong and light, I will buy you one for only 1000 taels, isn’t it a good deal?”

"It's a good idea." Mu Jingzhao nodded again and again, "But your description doesn't seem like you imagined it yourself, but it seems like you practiced it yourself?"

Jiang Ning quickly covered his mouth, but he still didn't give up, "One size is one size, but we can still talk about this business."

"I'll settle the score with you later." As Mu Jingzhao said, he grabbed Jiang Ning by the back collar and pulled her off him.

"Go and knock on the door." He casually put Jiang Ning towards the door.

Jiang Ning hooked his body and glanced furtively at the people present. Fortunately, all the people present lowered their eyes and didn't care what happened here.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, and he had already greeted all eight generations of Mu Jingzhao's ancestors in his heart.

After a long time, she still clenched her fist and knocked on the palace door, "Concubine Ning, come to visit your concubine."

There was a moment of silence in the palace gate, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and the Shuanghua Palace gate made a creaking sound, the palace gate was pulled open, and Meng Yin quickly walked out of the house.

She faced Jiang Ning.With a gentle smile, "Thank you for waiting for a long time, my mother is not feeling well, please come in."

After finishing speaking, Mengyin made an inviting gesture to everyone, and led them into the house.

"Come on." Mu Jingzhao walked up to Jiang Ning and stretched out his wrist in front of her, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and reached out, you are not human. "

Mu Jingzhao put his arms around her and walked in, "You're welcome."

Entering Shuanghua Palace again, for Jiang Ning, was a completely different experience from the last time.

The interior decoration of Shuanghua Palace is simple. There are only a few grasslands and trees in the huge courtyard. The only difference in color is that a few spider plants under the eaves are in full bloom.

The whole palace revealed a emptiness that was more lonely than the cold palace.

The door of the main hall was wide open, and the pure white veil on the door fluttered, vaguely reflecting the figure of Liu Jinfu sitting in the center of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the person has already arrived." Ling Yue walked to the entrance of the main hall and bowed to the hazy figure inside the veil.

"Aren't you here today just to investigate this palace?" Liu Jinfu said in a cold voice, "Let's investigate."

Shen Qingrong turned her head, nodded to the servants, and the palace people began to disperse, flocking to every corner of the hall.

"What are you doing!"

"How can you be presumptuous in the imperial concubine's palace!"

There was a burst of noise and the sound of broken porcelain coming from all directions. Jiang Ning closed his eyes and suddenly felt a little pain in his waist.

"Come in and sit."

Mu Jingzhao straightened his body and walked towards the hall first, taking along Jiang Ning who was hammering his back by the way.
