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

Chapter 90
Jiang Ning ignored the unkindness in Liu Yue's tone, she smiled slightly, and explained in a warm voice: "I really don't understand much, but I have checked the classics specially for this purpose, so there should be nothing wrong."

Unexpectedly, such an explanation caused Liu Yue's face to become more and more gloomy. He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Ning, with a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Woman, what do you know about war songs? This war song was made before the battle to boost morale. If this war dance is really like you, then the minds of the people in the army may be thinking about those crooked ways! Why do you want to go to war!"

Liu Yue's tone was blunt, and the disdain in his eyes was not concealed at all.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the pavilion fell into silence.

The touch of emotion on Liu Jinfu's face had long since disappeared. She raised her eyes to look at Liu Yue, her eyes were icy cold.

Seeing the aggressive look on Liu Yue's face, Mu Jingzhao coughed lightly a few times at the right time, as if he was about to get up.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning was one step faster. She took the wine glass and Shi Shiran got up.

"General Liu's words are wrong. Our dance today is all for celebrating your mother's birthday. It's not for boosting morale, so why should you be so harsh?"

Jiang Ning's words not only failed to suppress Liu Yue's anger at all, but seemed to make him even more angry.

He looked directly at Jiang Ning, with a somewhat aggressive look in his eyes.

"This battle dance is the morale of the army. Now that the empress is in the imperial concubine position, she arranges and humiliates the war dance arbitrarily. If it is spread to the people and everyone imitates it, how decent is it?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ning immediately understood that Liu Yue did not intend to let him go.

Seeing that Jiang Ning did not respond, Liu Yue glanced at her sideways, "I would like to ask, what is the intention of the imperial concubine performing such a dance at the little girl's birthday banquet?"

Jiang Ning was a little terrified by Liu Yue's aggressive gaze.

After all, he is a veteran who once commanded thousands of troops on the battlefield, so there is nothing to say about his momentum.

She shrank her neck, neither standing nor sitting for a while.

"If my lord father is in a bad mood, I don't want to use this Palace's birthday banquet to make me feel bad."

Liu Jinfu's voice was clear and shallow, yet powerful.

Although she said she was talking to Liu Yue, she never looked at Liu Yue from the beginning to the end, she tapped lightly on the table with her hand stained with Kodan, and continued to speak.

"Father, it's fine to vent your anger on the family members on weekdays. It's better to restrain yourself in front of the emperor."

Liu Jinfu's voice was always indifferent and calm, but each word resounded like thunder in the pavilion.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yue immediately jumped up, and the veins on his forehead suddenly popped up. His eyes were red, and he stared at Liu Jinfu, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

"Evil! Who gave you the courage to contradict your father, don't think that the old man doesn't know what you have in mind!"

Liu Yue's face was flushed, and his posture seemed to rush up to give Liu Jinfu two slaps anytime and anywhere.

Liu Bing quickly stepped forward to support Liu Yue, and put his hand on Liu Yue's chest to calm him down, "Sister, how can you commit such crimes and talk to father like this."

"You know, if you talk to me like this, you are committing the following crimes."

Liu Jinfu's smile is still gentle, no matter how the other party's attitude is broken, she is always so calm and indifferent, it seems that this farce has nothing to do with her.

At this moment, there was a muffled loud noise from Mu Jingzhao's direction.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then turned their heads to look in Mu Jingzhao's direction.

Mu Jingzhao stood in the pavilion with a gloomy face.

"Today's dance is my permission." His voice was deep and deep, full of a sense of calm and prestige.

Liu Yue's expression froze. He looked at Mu Jingzhao with unreasonable anger, "Your Majesty...you are so confused!"

Seeing that this scene was about to intensify, Jiang Qingyuan finished off a cup of tea, placed the cup heavily on the table, and made a muffled sound.

Where the sound came from, Jiang Qingyuan looked at Liu Yue with a dazed gaze, but his voice was extremely calm and clear, "Brother Liu, are you a bit out of control?"

As soon as these words came out, even Shen Tong, who had been watching the bustle from the sidelines, restrained his smile, and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, today is the birthday of the imperial concubine. It’s a bit of a loss.”

Liu Yue seemed to have gradually withdrawn from the rage just now. He looked around at the people in the hall, finally got up hesitantly, and bowed to Mu Jingzhao, "I also ask the emperor to make amends. This strong drink is intoxicating. It is a slip of the tongue. gone."

As soon as these words came out, Mu Jingzhao had no choice but to use the slope to get off the donkey. He smiled slightly to express his understanding, "It's because the servants in the palace didn't think carefully. I must punish them properly when I come down."

Shen Tong smiled and said, "Yes, punishment, it must be severely punished! This time the wine is really intoxicating, and even the minister who has always been a good drinker is a little dizzy." After saying a word, he turned his head and looked at Xiang Jiangning, "I don't know if there are any other shows that have not been performed in the future. I also ask Concubine Ning to show them out as soon as possible. Don't wait for the old minister to get drunk and stupefied."

Seeing Liu Yue's expression gradually calm down, Jiang Ning exhaled heavily, and finally sat down slowly.

This time at the birthday party, she was really self-defeating.

Originally, although Jiang Ning knew that the relationship between Liu Jinfu and Liu Yue was not close, Jiang Ning always felt that even if they were not close, it wouldn't be that bad after all. After all, they were both father and daughter.

It wasn't until now that Jiang Ning suddenly realized that such a father and daughter who walked on thin ice really existed in this world.

Jiang Ning turned his head cautiously and glanced at Liu Jinfu, only to see that the other party was still drinking the soup indifferently, as if everything that happened in the pavilion had nothing to do with her.

Seeing everyone's tense appearance, Shen Qingrong smiled helplessly, and Shi Shiran stood up holding a wine glass, "Today is my sister's 20th birthday party, if you all get angry over a trivial matter, it's not worth it."

Her voice is clear and clear, mixed with the gurgling water in the pavilion, there is an inexplicable power that makes people feel peaceful.

Everything was quiet, she walked slowly to the center of the pavilion holding the wine glass.

"How about this, let me respect all uncles and uncles to show my filial piety."

Originally, Shen Qingrong sat silently in her seat, but Jiang Ning didn't notice her.

Now that she came to the center of the pavilion, Jiang Ning saw her gauze-wrapped hand at a glance.

That eye-catching piece of snow-white was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of Shen Qingrong's red dress.

Under the gauze, Liu Jinfu was beaten with a teacup because of provoking Liu Jinfu, but it was a little strange that the day of the injury had passed for more than a month, but there was still a dry deep red in the center of the gauze. blood.

Holding the wine glass, Shen Qingrong walked slowly to Liu Yue's table in front of everyone's eyes, and poured a glass of wine for Liu Yue.

"I offer a toast to General Liu, thanking General Liu for everything he has done for our country during the many years of fighting."

Now that the empress has talked about this, Liu Yue no longer dares to show that domineering appearance.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, picked up his wine glass and got up with a slightly relieved expression.

"Thanks--"

But just as he uttered a word, the wine glass in Shen Qingrong's hand fell to the ground in an instant, with a muffled sound, and the wine in the glass spilled all over the floor.

"what--"

Shen Qingrong held her gauze-wrapped hand and let out a low moan.

Everyone was shocked and got up immediately.

Shen Tong immediately rushed towards Shen Qingrong, and pulled Shen Qingrong into his arms, "Rong'er, what's wrong with you, Rong'er?"

His expression was anxious, his voice was sad, and his movements were smooth and smooth without any flaws.

Mu Jingzhao walked quickly to the side of the father and daughter, and saw that the gauze wrapped by Shen Qingrong's hands was smeared with a large area of ​​bright red blood, almost staining the entire gauze red.

"Quick, call the imperial doctor!"

Jiang Ning looked at the turmoil in the hall with some confusion. She looked at Liu Yue who was in the turmoil, and saw that the other party was also as confused as she was.

But the confusion was fleeting, he stared at Shen Qingrong who was in pain on the ground and Shen Tong who was embracing her, with a mocking expression on his face.

Liu Yue was sitting on the side opposite to Mu Jingzhao's seat, and Shen Qingrong was very close to him, treating that small area as a solid one, making it impossible for people to see clearly what happened in that area.

Anyone else would definitely think that Liu Yue did something to her.

But looking from Jiang Ning's oblique direction, he could clearly see the whole process of the other party knocking over the wine glass and squatting down with his hands covered.

The intentions of the Shen family's father and daughter were too obvious.

The imperial physician hurried into the pavilion carrying the medicine box, and everyone helped Shen Qingrong to sit down on their seats.

Mu Jingzhao supported Shen Qingrong with one hand, and asked the imperial physician, "Take a look at why the queen's hand hasn't healed for so long?"

The imperial physician supported Shen Qingrong's blood-soaked gauze and looked at it, frowning, "Your majesty, let me see how the empress's injury is, and I will know for myself."

Mu Jingzhao stopped talking, but raised his chin slightly to express his agreement.

After being approved, the imperial doctor took the scissors twice and cut off the gauze on Shen Qingrong's hand. As the gauze fell off, the back of Shen Qingrong's hand was instantly exposed to the air.

Jiang Ning leaned forward to take a look curiously, and just one glance made her gasp.

There was a gasp of surprise from the crowd.

I saw that the wound on the back of Shen Qingrong's hand that was originally only the size of a tea cup had now expanded to the entire back of her hand.

The skin on the back of that hand seemed to be completely torn off, and the fuzzy flesh and blood stretched across the back of her hand without any concealment. The center of the wound had already festered, and yellow pus surrounded it, which looked quite disgusting.

Everyone's gazes seemed to make Shen Qingrong even more ashamed. She grabbed Mu Jingzhao's sleeve and buried her whole face in Mu Jingzhao's chest, with a look of shamelessness.

"I remember that this was just a small bruise, how could it have turned into this?" Mu Jingzhao frowned, he supported Shen Qingrong with one hand and comforted him in a low voice, while asking the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor didn't say any more, but quickly took out tweezers from the medicine box and began to treat Shen Qingrong's wound.

It wasn't until the entire wound was cleaned up that the old doctor sighed deeply and said to Mu Jingzhao.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty's wound was poisoned to make it look like this."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was shocked.

"Fortunately, the amount of poison here is very small, so it's just skin ulceration, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be life-threatening!"

Everyone looked shocked, Shen Tong hurried forward, and the old man knelt down in front of Mu Jingzhao in tears.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty must thoroughly investigate this matter and make the decision for my daughter. The old minister only has Rong'er as a daughter. If something goes wrong with Rong'er, the old man will die!"

Mrs. Shen also knelt down in amazement and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine Ning had an accident a few days ago, and today my daughter was also poisoned. Please investigate this matter thoroughly, Your Majesty, and don't let the villain go unpunished, Your Majesty." !"

Seeing Shen's family kneel down in front of Mu Jingzhao, Mu Jingzhao couldn't get off the stage for a while, so he patted Shen Qingrong who was lying in his arms, and shouted, "Where is the maid who usually changes the queen's dressing?" , bring it to me."

After a while, Li Zinian walked into the pavilion with Ling Yue who was missing a tooth.

Originally, Ling Yue was always by Shen Qingrong's side when she was attending big and small events. Recently, she was beaten with a tooth missing, but she was rarely seen again.

Presumably, it was because she was afraid that the mouth with one missing front tooth would embarrass the empress in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty." Ling Yue knelt down in front of Mu Jingzhao tremblingly, and kowtowed heavily, with a look of shock on her face, "This servant is Ling Yue, the maid who gave medicine to the empress."

Mu Jingzhao's face was ugly, he looked at Ling Yue with contempt, his voice was deep, with a sense of calm and prestige.

"Is this the medicine you personally gave to the Empress these days?"

"Yes! This servant does not worry about others, and has always done it herself."

Mu Jingzhao nodded slightly to agree, "What do you think about the empress's ointment being poisoned?"

Startled, Ling Yue fell to the ground, "I don't know."

"You don't know? I think you are bold!"

Ling Yue trembled like chaff in an instant.

At this moment, the queen said slowly, "Your Majesty, Ling Yue grew up with my concubines, and she is as close as sisters to my concubines, so she will definitely not harm my concubines!"
