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

Chapter 98

Jiang Ning suppressed his smile, and turned to look at Lin Zheng beside him, with a rare serious and sincere expression.

"Last night, I was drowned in the middle of the night, thanks to Commander Lin who sacrificed his life to save me. I am very grateful, so I came here to express my gratitude."

Jiang Ning and Lin Zheng were sitting side by side on a chair at this time, when she turned her head to look at Lin Zhengzhi, the warm breath from her nose gently brushed against Lin Zheng's ears.

Lin Zheng's ears turned red at an astonishing speed.

He subconsciously dodged towards the opposite side of the bench, but when he dodged, the bench lost its balance instantly. Jiang Ning, who was born petite, was lifted high by the unbalanced bench, and slid down the inclined bench .

"Ah!" No matter how courageous Jiang Ning is, he will inevitably be taken aback.

Seeing this, Lu Feng's face turned pale, and he quickly reached out to support Jiang Ning's shoulders, and helped her sit back to her original position little by little.

Seeing this, Deputy General Chen quickly took the teacup and poured a full cup of tea for Jiang Ning, and sent it to Jiang Ning.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Commander Lin just seldom gets so close to the girl and is not used to it, so we subconsciously avoid it. We didn't intend to scare you."

Jiang Ning took the cup of tea in his hand, raised his head and drank it in a gulp, and then managed to calm down.

She glanced at Lin Zheng beside her, only to see that his cheeks were flushed, his eyebrows drooped, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Inexplicably, Jiang Ning felt that Lin Zheng's appearance was a little funny, she turned her head to look at Deputy General Chen, and raised her voice.

"Could it be that Commander Lin has never been with a girl at his age?"

Lin Zheng's face turned redder instantly, and the blush spread from his cheeks to the base of his neck.

Deputy General Chen was a little surprised, he didn't seem to expect such a rich lady like Jiang Ning to make such a joke.

But immediately, he said in a smooth manner, "Actually, Commander Lin has always been like this. He doesn't like to get close to others, and it's the same with us."

Jiang Ning nodded and said no more.

Vice-General Lin re-entered the seat.

"But ma'am, it's really surprising that you can say such a thing. Protecting the safety of the emperor's majesty is the duty of our imperial guards. There is no thanks."

Jiang Ning smiled, and casually picked up the wine glass in his hand.

"It's because, at critical moments, you can all keep your responsibilities in mind and put life and death before responsibilities, so you are worthy of admiration and gratitude."

There was silence under the seat, Lin Zheng turned his head to look at her, with surprise and touch in his eyes.

Vice General Chen lowered his head slightly, opening and closing his lips, as if he was thinking about something.

Immediately, he picked up the wine glass in his hand and held it in front of Jiang Ning.

"Your Majesty has great righteousness in mind, and I offer you a toast." After finishing speaking, Vice General Chen drank the wine glass in his hand.

Jiang Ning smiled, imitating the other party's appearance, and stood up holding the wine glass, "Thank you everyone."

After drinking a glass of wine, there was thunderous applause from all around.

Jiang Ning sat down without changing his face, and did not eat, just watching everyone quietly.

Earlier, she wandered around the rivers and lakes for many years, and met a lot of capable people and strangers, and there were many arrogant and unreasonable people among them.

Now, she can get along with these imperial guards with ease.

The sound of chewing and chopsticks hitting the side of the bowl could be heard endlessly, Jiang Ning smiled, and raised a hand to pick up a piece of fish for Lin Zheng.

Outside the door, Mu Jingzhao tried his best to press his ear against the wall, trying to hear the conversation in the room clearly.

"Ah!" Jiang Ning screamed, and Mu Jingzhao trembled all over.

"What's wrong? Do these trash still dare to bully my woman?"

He turned his head and looked inside, only to see that the chair had been tilted, and Jiang Ning was almost stuck in Lin Zheng's arms.

Mu Jingzhao's forehead was bulging with blue veins, he gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound of hatred.

"You can do such a dirty trick, it's because I misjudged him!"

Lin Zheng supported Jiang Ning with both hands, and slowly escorted her back.

Mu Jingzhao: "You dare to be so presumptuous in front of so many imperial guards. What if you do it in private? What would it look like?"

With his hand holding the door frame, his nails dug into the door frame, snapping off a large piece of the red paint on the door.

There was a round of applause in the room.

Mu Jingzhao's eyelids twitched, "Applause, why are you applauding? Are you celebrating something? Could it be?"

Mu Jingzhao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he continued to think about it.

At this time, Lu Feng was dragging Zhe Liu towards Jiang Ning's position. Lu Feng was tall and the deputy commander of the imperial guards, so he was much stronger than Zhe Liu, a little girl.

Zhe Liu was dragged by him and stumbled, almost fell to the ground several times.

"No, I can't do it anymore!" Zhe Liu struggled hard, shook off Lu Feng's hand, put his palms on his knees and panted heavily.

Lu Feng was forced to stop. While looking at the buildings in the distance, he looked at the exhausted Folded Willow in front of him, and stamped his feet anxiously and helplessly.

"Ancestor, have you thought of a way?"

Zhe Liu gasped for two breaths, but his voice was still unsteady because of the panting, "No."

She pressed her palms hard on her chest to smooth the air for herself, and then barely stood up.

"Are you really sure that your empress has an unusual relationship with Commander Lin?" She wiped the sweat off her face casually, "I don't look like that either, I don't think your empress is such a masculine person at all, what do you say Maybe I will believe a little bit if she has something to do with the imperial concubine."

Lu Feng let out a heavy breath, his eyes full of helplessness, "Why do we think this is important? What matters is what the emperor thinks, if the emperor decides that the empress has an affair with Commander Lin, even if she has a thousand or ten thousand mouths, she won't be able to tell! "

Hearing what Lu Feng said, Zhe Liu's expression gradually became serious, and she straightened her back, dragging Lu Feng forward.

"The two of us have been favored by the empress all day long, and now is the time to repay it!"

Lu Feng looked at Zhe Liu who was running fast in front of him, and saw the hands of the two people clasped together, their cheeks were flushed, and he hurriedly pulled up to keep up.

Turning a corner along the direction of the extension of the palace wall, the courtyard gate and Mu Jingzhao who was listening to the corner of the gate appeared in front of the two of them.

Zhe Liu was about to rush towards the courtyard gate, but Lu Feng grabbed him by the collar in time and grabbed him back.

Zhe Liu tried his best to pounce forward twice, remained motionless, with annoyed expression on his face, but he still had no choice but to lower his voice and say, "What are you doing? This matter is about empress' comfort, it is extremely urgent."

Lu Feng looked helpless, held Zhe Liu's face with his palm, and gently pushed the hair on Zhe Liu's forehead, "You haven't thought about anything now, if you meet the emperor head-on, what will you say?"

Such a sentence made Zhe Liu stunned for a moment, she tried her best to think for a long time, and finally asked helplessly, "Then what do you say?"
