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

Chapter 96 Misunderstanding
But Jiang Ning obviously failed to see his careful thinking, and just concentrated on eating the dishes in front of him, looking like he had a good appetite.

Just as Mu Jingzhao was about to start eating, he stretched out his hand as if he had suddenly thought of something, and took out a bone whistle from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was startled when he was eating, and subconsciously touched her neck until she felt the emptiness of her neck, and then she realized that what Mu Jingzhao held was the bone whistle that Lin Zheng gave her.

"Why are you there?" Jiang Ning reached out and grabbed the bone whistle.

Mu Jingzhao withdrew his hand and took the bone whistle away, letting Jiang Ning's hand fighting for the bone whistle fall into the air.

"When Zheliu changed your clothes yesterday."

At this moment, Zhe Liu's voice came from outside the house, "Your Majesty, the servants have packed them for you." Zhe Liu took the lunch box, stepped into the hall, and handed the lunch box to Jiang Ning with both hands.

Seeing that the lunch was almost finished, Jiang Ning got up quickly, took the lunch box, grabbed Mu Jingzhao's bone whistle, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

While grabbing the bone whistle, she did not forget to leave a word for Mu Jingzhao.

"It's really rude of you to take other people's things."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ning hopped out the door with the lunch box in hand.

"Where are you going in such a hurry with your things?"

However, when he asked this sentence, Jiang Ning had already walked away, and there was no more reply.

Mu Jingzhao looked at the leftovers on the table in front of him, and a nameless anger rose from his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, no one dared to get off the table before him.

"Has the emperor finished eating? If the meal is finished, then the slaves will start cleaning up."

It was only then that Mu Jingzhao realized that there was another person beside him. He raised his head and looked at Zheliu in front of him.

"Do you know why she went with her things?"

Zhe Liu shook his head.

"What did she say before she told you to pack?"

Zheliu saw that Mu Jingzhao was no longer in the mood to eat, so he started to clear the dishes.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Actually, it's nothing, but the empress asked the servants why they prepared so much food, and the servants said that it was because the empress fell into the water and became weak, so she had to make up for it, and then the empress asked the servants to pack a portion. "

As soon as Zheliu finished speaking, Mu Jingzhao walked out.

When she came back to her senses, there was no trace of Mu Jingzhao in the seat. Zhe Liu looked at the empty seat, and without thinking about it, she began to concentrate on clearing her plate.

Jiang Ning has been in the palace for such a long time, and he has been to only a handful of places. Naturally, he does not know where Lin Zheng and others are resting.

But fortunately, since the last rat poison incident, Mu Jingzhao has specially dispatched a lot of imperial guards to protect the safety of the cold palace.

So he just walked to the door, and saw Lu Feng and others stationed at the door.

Jiang Ning searched around, but did not see Lin Zheng's whereabouts.

"Ma'am, who are you looking for?" Lu Feng walked towards Jiang Ning.

"Where is Commander Lin?"

"Commander Lin is in the side room right now."

"The side room?" Jiang Ning tilted his head and thought for a while, but he really couldn't figure out where the side room Lu Fengkou was talking about was.

"How about I take you there."

Jiang Ning had known Lu Feng for a long time, so he nodded in agreement without being polite to him.

Lu Feng briefly exchanged a few words with the guards on duty, and then led Jiang Ning away.

"Your Majesty, why are you carrying such a big box? It's strange, I'll help you.

The lunch box in the palace was made of solid wood, so it wasn't light in itself, plus it was full of food, and after carrying it for two steps, she felt that her strength was a little weak.

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth, seeing the tall and burly Lu Feng in front of him, he knew in his heart that this weight meant nothing to Lu Feng at all.

So she finally compromised and handed over the lunch box in her hand.

Lu Feng took the lunch box with a surprised expression, "Your Majesty, this thing in your hand seems to be very special?"

Jiang Ning was startled, and then realized that he was in a hurry to go out, so he kept holding the bone whistle in the palm of his hand.

She put the bone whistle away casually, "Well, it was a gift from a friend."

Seeing that Jiang Ning didn't want to say more, Xu Shi didn't ask Lu Feng any further.

It's just that the expression was a little dignified, and he continued to lead Jiang Ning forward.

"Your Majesty, it's right here. I'll send you here. I still have work to do."

Jiang Ning nodded, said thank you softly, and then entered the door of the side room.

"Ma'am, why are you being polite to me?"

Lu Feng gave Jiang Ning a strange look, then turned and left, but just two steps away, he met Mu Jingzhao head-on.

Lu Feng, who was in a trance, trembled suddenly, took two steps back quickly, and bowed in salute.

"Meet the Emperor."

Mu Jingzhao, who had been looking at Jiang Ning's back, slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at Lu Feng in front of him, and coughed lightly twice.

"Oh, it's Vice President Lu. If I remember correctly, it's your turn to make an inspection now. What are you doing here?"

Lu Feng's cheeks were slightly red, and he coughed a few times unnaturally.

"I'm guilty of the crime, but I just helped my mother lead the way, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Mu Jingzhao raised his chin slightly, looked at the building behind Lu Feng, and probably understood it, but he still asked a few symbolic questions.

"What is your mother doing here?"

"I don't know either." Lu Feng thought for a while, knowing that he couldn't casually reveal the personal relationship between Jiang Ning and Lin Zheng.

"The minister doesn't know."

Mu Jingzhao didn't expect to get any useful information from him, so he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"I know, you go down first."

Lu Feng was trembling, and he was still worried about how to help Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao to smooth things over, but when he heard Mu Jingzhao's words, he was taken aback, then nodded vigorously, turned and left.

Lu Feng took two steps forward, thinking about what would happen next, the more he imagined, the more fear he felt in his heart.

Presumably he has received a lot of favors from Concubine Ning and Commander Lin during these times, especially Concubine Ning, who has always treated him like a family member.

This forbidden army had an affair with the concubine, but it was a serious crime to be beheaded.

If he stands by now and let Concubine Ning and Commander Lin be killed because he didn't stop it in time, let alone Zhe Liu will not forgive him, he will probably live in endless regret and self-blame for the rest of his life .

He hesitated for a while, his feet paused, and he turned his head to look in Mu Jingzhao's direction, wondering if he should find an excuse to send Mu Jingzhao away.

But Mu Jingzhao was clasping the door with both hands, looking furtively into the courtyard, as if he was catching a traitor.

The moment he looked at Mu Jingzhao, the other party turned his head.

Lu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head hastily, for fear that he would show his feet and hurt Jiang Ning instead.

Seeing Lu Feng's reaction like this, Mu Jingzhao looked weird.

Could it be that the whole harem knew about Jiang Ning and Lin Zheng, but I was the only one who didn't?
