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

Chapter 55 The Heart of Rebellion
Jiang Ning's pain of going to bed had subsided, she turned over and sat on the bed, her thoughts were confused.

Of course, she would not doubt what Liu Jinfu said, but she really couldn't understand what Mu Jingzhao was doing.

"Okay girl, don't think too much." Liu Jinfu patted her on the shoulder lightly, "When he came to me, I agreed without even thinking about it. Anyway, he is just a man. You don't care about him. What are you thinking?"

Jiang Ning turned his head and looked at the peacock feather hairpin in Liu Jinfu's hair.In the center of the hairpin, jewels of various colors are flowing with seductive luster.

No wonder the Liu Jinfu she saw that day was far from her future appearance.

It turns out that this is also a play co-starred by all the nobles.

Jiang Ning suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart, "Then why did you cooperate with him to act?"

Liu Jinfu carelessly fiddled with the armor on her hand. Not long ago, the red lipstick stained on the teacup was still stained on her palm, which looked a little scary.

"Anyway, being idle is idle, why not have some fun for yourself."

Jiang Ning was at a loss for words for a while, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"Okay, life is alive, eat, drink, and have fun. Why do you think so much?"

At this time, the sky outside the window had already turned a dark blue, Meng Yin quickly walked into the room, and lit the lamp on the table.

The warm yellow light filled the whole room in an instant, and it fell unscrupulously on the ceramic and jade debris all over the floor, as if a galaxy had been planted in the palace.

"It's almost time, stay and have a meal. Is there anything you want to eat? I'm going to let the small kitchen prepare it."

Jiang Jing was silent for a moment, looking at the mess in the room, the sadness and awkwardness in her heart couldn't fade away.

Thinking about it, no matter how rare the delicacies in Shuanghua Palace are, it would be difficult for her to eat them in such an environment.

Just when Jiang Ning was about to refuse, there was a shrill announcement from outside the door, "The emperor is coming—"

Liu Jinfu didn't move at all, and looked away disappointed, as if he was dissatisfied with Mu Jingzhao's arrival.

"It seems that I am going to keep you here."

Mu Jingzhao walked into the room quickly, saw Liu Jinfu and Lin Yue sitting on the bed in the main hall, and fell silent for a moment.

"Good luck, Your Majesty." Liu Jinfu greeted Mu Jingzhao in a moderate voice, but his body remained motionless.

"It's almost time, come back with me."

Jiang Ning was stunned for two seconds before realizing that the other party was talking to him.

She got off the bed, bowed to Liu Jinfu and said goodbye, and then followed Mu Jingzhao out of Shuanghua Palace.

On the other side, Shen Qingrong was sitting beside Ling Yue's bed, watching the imperial doctor finish treating her bloody wound, while sighing to herself.

"Your Majesty, it's been taken care of. Fortunately, it's just a few flesh injuries, and it didn't affect the muscles and bones. It will be fine after a little more training."

Shen Qingrong nodded, casually took out a small piece of gold from her bosom, handed it to the imperial physician, and watched him leave.

She pulled the brocade quilt at the corner of Ling Yue's bed, gently covered Lin Yue, and then let out a faint sigh.

"Thanks a lot."

Ling Yue's tense expression gradually eased, she turned her head, her gaze fell on the slightly red gauze on the back of Shen Qingrong's hand.

Her eye sockets turned red at an alarming rate.

"Your Majesty knows that Liu Jinfu is arrogant and domineering, so why bother?"

Liu Jinfu slowly withdrew her bandaged hands, with a happy expression, "To get a man's sympathy and pity, you have to pay a little price."

"This price is too heavy." Perhaps because of missing a tooth, Ling Yue's voice sounded a little vague, coupled with the undisguised pity in her words, it always made people feel that she seemed to be In the next second, he couldn't help but cry out.

"Obviously she has nothing to lose."

Shen Qingrong glanced at it with resentment, as if she was about to slap Ling Yue's bloody buttocks in the next second.

"Do you really think that Ben Gong stood up just to make that tricky woman whip Ben Gong?"

"My lady, are you..."

"The things in the secret room are enough to prove that Liu Jinfu has never died of evil intentions all these years."

"A wicked heart is never dead..." Ling Yue repeated it softly, as if she was thinking about something, and after a moment, she suddenly realized, "Military power?"

But such a movement immediately involved her wounds, Ling Yue couldn't stop howling, and then threw herself on the bed again.

"That's right." A faint smile finally appeared on Shen Qingrong's face, "What Liu Jinfu did back then can be said to have violated the emperor's taboo. However, those rural women in the folk regard her as a hero and a role model If her evil intentions are not dead, it is hard to say that Liu Jinfu will not hold a grudge for what the emperor and Liu Yue did back then."

Ling Yue was stunned. Although she could have guessed that Liu Jinfu would never resign herself to living in the harem these years, she didn't know that there were so many involved.

"If she hates and wants to take revenge, then it is..." Ling Yue was silent, she stared at the gauze on the back of Shen Qingrong's hand, feeling as if she could feel the piercing pain left by the whip.

Ling Yue couldn't help shivering, "That's the death penalty for treason."

"Today the emperor saw that Concubine Ning and Liu Jinfu are so close. The two of them, an assassin and a rebel, kill two birds with one stone." Shen Qingrong snorted coldly, although from the current point of view, it is impossible to get rid of Liu Yue and Liu Jinfu in this way. Jiang Qingyuan is still quite difficult.

But at least, she has successfully made Mu Jingzhao suspicious.

You know, sometimes all it takes is a little bit of suspicion to completely defeat the relationship between people.

"But Concubine Ning is not—"

Ling Yue thought that they had worked so hard to find such a substitute to set up such a big game, if they just sacrificed Jiang Ning so casually, it would be too uneconomical.

"The achievement of the goal is the most important thing, the process is not important." Shen Qingrong got up, and the tossing of the day seemed to put her in a good mood, "I don't know how my father will praise me."

She smiled, turned around and left the side hall.

On the other side, Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning walked side by side, the two were relatively silent and each had their own concerns.

The amount of information received in this day is really too huge. Jiang Ning's mind is full of confusion and incomprehension, and she is overthinking, which makes her unable to say anything.

"When did you climb over the imperial concubine's courtyard wall?"

Thoughts were churning in Jiang Ning's mind. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't make up a reasonable explanation, so she stopped making up altogether.

"The concubine wants to ask for some peacock feathers, and come back to be a peacock feather hairpin."

"That's all you want?"

Jiang Ning suddenly felt a little tired, she raised her head, and the spring evening breeze with the fragrance of flowers gently brushed her cheeks, she exhaled deeply.

"It's hard to know how important money is."

Mu Jingzhao looked back at her, wondering if it was his illusion, these days, Jiang Ning's face seemed to be rounder than the day when we first met.

He suddenly felt that the boulder had fallen to the ground.

"The implication of the imperial concubine's words is that you met her that day?"

"Well, that's right." Jiang Ning nodded slowly, "Not only did the imperial concubine not scold me, but she gave me feathers, a warm cloak and hot tea."

Mu Jingzhao paused slightly, and looked at Jiang Ning with suspicion, "That's really weird."
