Chapter 13: Initial Doubt

Hearing the voice of the man outside, she didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly changed her clothes, but fortunately, the long sleeves covered her arms, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come, drink the ginger soup, the imperial doctor will be here soon." Qin Luo walked in with a bowl of ginger soup, with worry in his voice.

As soon as he heard that the imperial doctor was coming, Jiang Ning pretended to be calm and refused: "I'm fine, this body is not as delicate as you think."

Her face was really fine, and coupled with her resolute refusal, he didn't insist.

"Okay, then you can drink the ginger soup and have a good rest." Qin Luo said.

What is there to rest in the blue sky and daylight, but Jiang Ning was afraid of being discovered, so he hurriedly drank ginger soup and lay down, thinking that Qin Luo was going to leave in this way, but he didn't want him to stay here.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to cover his arms in the quilt, and he patted her body calmly for a while, like coaxing a child.

She had been vigilant, but she didn't want him to pat her, so she really fell asleep.

It's hot, she's so hot, Jiang Ning tore her clothes vaguely, and her face was abnormally flushed.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Ning slowly opened her eyes, she only felt that the heat on her body was already sweating, and Qin Luo, who was originally guarding her side, was gone.

She suddenly panicked, and hurriedly rolled up her sleeves, only to see that the light blue scales had disappeared and turned back into smooth and white arms.

"Where did Qin Luo go?" She asked.

Xia Ling hurriedly stepped forward: "The emperor has gone to Xianfu Palace to see Concubine Xinniang."

Hearing her say this, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, just now he didn't pay attention and fell asleep, since Qin Luo left, then he shouldn't have seen the scales on her arms, and the clothes are so wide, he shouldn't have seen it.

Jiang Ning comforted himself like this, but there was always a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

But then something happened that made her even more uneasy, because Qin Luo, who came every night, did not appear, and saw that there was no familiar person next to the pillow.

She always felt uncomfortable, and it wasn't until she tossed and turned for hours in the middle of the night that she barely fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

"Concubine Xin has just entered the palace, and it is normal for the emperor to go to her." Xia Ling looked at the dark green under Jiang Ning's eyes, and said softly while combing her hair.

Jiang Ning nodded, but his expression was more solemn, it should be fine.

But in a blink of an eye, it was night again, and when Qin Luo still didn't appear, Jiang Ning's heart rang the alarm bell.

Strange, should it be, Qin Luo really saw it? Her heart tightened.

Sleepless nights.

Jiang Ning's current dark green was even more serious, and Xia Ling thought that she was sad because she loved Qin Luo miserably, so she couldn't help but feel relieved.

But Qin Luo never came, which made her very worried.

Seeing that the days passed like this, she thought about it, instead of waiting for the result like this, it was better to take the initiative and strike first.

She decided to go to Qin Luo, and when she was about to go out after dressing up, she saw Gonggong Li.

"The slave has seen Concubine Ning, and the emperor has a decree to let Niangniang go out of the palace, saying that she wants to chat with General Han in the General's Mansion." After finishing speaking, Gonggong Li withdrew.

But Jiang Ning's face became more and more ugly, she hadn't seen her for two days, she was going to meet at this time, and she still let someone else pass the word, how could this not make her worried.

Sitting in the sedan chair out of the palace, although Jiang Ning's face was calm, her palms were already a little sweaty, she kept thinking about what happened that day, but she couldn't think of any flaws.

"Mother, it's here." Xia Ling lifted the curtain and said.

Jiang Ning came back to her senses, a reluctant smile appeared on her face, and she walked into the General's Mansion.

Looking at the candle flame lit inside, Jiang Ning's heart beat a little faster, of course, it was definitely not because of joy

She gently pushed open the door, only to see that two men were already sitting inside waiting for her, she swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and the thumping in her heart was still strong and stable.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Jiang Ning politely apologized.

Qin Luo didn't support her with his hand, but said, "Sit next to me."

At first, it was just a simple meal, and the three of them chatted occasionally, which made Jiang Ning relax his vigilance.

"I still remember that in the past, I took you outside the palace, and you liked to eat peach blossom cake the most, so I just brought you some at this time." Qin Luo said.

Jiang Ning nodded and smiled and picked up a piece of peach blossom cake, just about to enter it, only to hear Qin Luo say again: "Where did you put the jade pendant I gave you before, I remember that you are always very precious to it."

Her hand paused, and the jade pendant... What a jade pendant... She struggled to recall the fragmented memories in her mind, as if there was indeed a piece.

"In the box of the dormitory, how can I carry such an important thing with me." Her expression was as usual, and she didn't show the slightest panic.

Qin Luo's eyes stared at Jiang Ning with some complicated eyes, and when he felt this scorching gaze, he only felt that Rumang was on his back, and there was already a little thin sweat in his palms.

In his heart, he felt more and more that Qin Luo already knew something.

"I love it when you wear it every day." He said.

"Since you like it, I'll wear it on my body when I go back to the palace." Jiang Ning pursed his lips, panicking even more in his heart.

Fortunately, she still has a jade pendant in her memory, otherwise she is afraid that it will really be exposed.

Qin Luo's big hand touched her hand, she shrank slightly, his eyes were dark and seemed to be surging with something: "Ning'er."

"Well, I'm here." She forced herself to steady, answering him but not daring to meet his eyes.

Qin Luo couldn't help but think of what she said that night at Xin Fei'er's place, she said that she saw something half-human, half-fish under the water, and according to what she said, it was the merman.

Is the woman in his eyes still the woman he loves?

"It's nothing, since we're done eating, let's go back." Qin Luo's eyes were covered with a smile again, and there seemed to be a dark tide surging in his deep eyes, saying a glass of wine in his stomach.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile also appeared on her face, she shouldn't have shown any flaws just now, but Qin Luo had drunk a lot from just now to now.

Jiang Ning sat in the carriage all the way, she leaned closely on the side of the carriage, she obviously didn't want to talk to Qin Wei too much, lest he really see any flaws.

For a while, the atmosphere in the carriage was a little heavy, and Jiang Ning hoped to return to the palace as soon as possible.

When the bumpy carriage stopped, Jiang Ning just wanted to speak, and Qin Luo took the lead in speaking: "I'll go to the imperial study."

Jiang Ning nodded, he didn't understand Qin Luo for a while, his words were like an explanation, and before Jiang Ning could react, Qin Luo got out of the carriage.

She lifted the curtain and looked at his back for a long time, her eyes still cold.

On the top of the moon, Qin Luo still didn't come, Jiang Ning didn't care, it was just right that he didn't come, and she had to be worried about the province, but she turned over the cabinet and found the jade pendant, and she quickly hung it on her body.

She slowly closed her eyes and lay down peacefully.

"You're not Jiang Ning!"

Jiang Ning suddenly heard a sharp voice, she looked towards the voice, only to see that Qin Luo, who was indifferent in the past, had a hideous look at her at this time, she subconsciously took a few steps back, and forcibly stabilized her beating heart: "I am Jiang Ning, the emperor."

Qin Luo walked towards her step by step, his big hand suddenly pinched Jiang Ning's neck, his eyes were cloudy, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and the strength in his hand instantly increased: "Say!" Where is the real Jiangning! ”

"Hmm... Don't..."Jiang Ning resisted desperately, his face turned iron-blue, he wanted to speak but couldn't, and his heart was infinitely frightened.

Her feet gradually hung in the air, her eyes bulged out slightly, she struggled desperately, met his bloodthirsty eyes, her hands squeezed his hands hard: "You... Listen to me... Explain..."

But Qin Luo didn't give her a chance to speak, she was suffocated.

"Don't..."

Qin Luo showed no mercy, his eyes were gloomy and cold, and there was even a little hatred.

"Ah!!h Jiang Ning woke up suddenly, her forehead was full of fine beads of sweat, and she was holding her heart tightly with her hands and breathing heavily.

Even though she knew it was a dream, her heart was still uncontrollably flustered.

Jiang Ning felt the familiar presence next to him, Qin Luo did not wake up because of her screams, but fell asleep quietly, the black green at the moment could imagine his exhaustion, his body was somewhat drunk, she thought, he should have drunk too much.

It took her a long time to calm down, and when she caught a glimpse of Qin Luo's black sword hanging next to the bed, and looked at his quiet sleeping face, an evil thought suddenly appeared in her heart.

If... Kill him now, isn't it all over?

If Qin Luo now suspects that she is not the real Jiang Ning, then how dangerous is her situation, instead of waiting for Qin Luo to kill her first, it is better for her to kill her first...

Sleeping on the bed, she carefully crossed his body, her slender fingers held the blade of the black long sword, she was overjoyed, only to feel a heart pounding, too late to take the sword, suddenly a hand pressed her wrist holding the sword.

Jiang Ning's face tightened, her heart was not good, it must have been Qin Luo who had discovered something, her mind was frantically thinking about everything that might happen next, but she didn't want him to pull her body and press her under her, she thought he was going to kill her, her other hand leaned into her head without thinking about it, wanting to touch the hairpin on her head.

But in the next second, her pupils dilated instantly, and she dilated: "Hmm."

Qin Luo's big hand clasped Jiang Ning's two hands to the top of Jiang Ning's head, and very violently choked her lips, nibbling/biting, licking/licking.

When she touched that lip, the thick smell of wine rushed into her mouth, and Jiang Ning only felt that her brain was blank, as if she couldn't think more.

Her tense spirit gradually became sluggish, and her stiff body became soft.

The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous, his other big hand touched her face, Jiang Ning felt the big hand covered, and she said hesitantly: "Don't... Stop it. ”

Qin Luo finally stopped, and his rough panting sprayed on Jiang Ning's ears, causing her body to tremble.

"I want you."

Faced with his sudden words, Jiang Ning was caught off guard: "Qin Luo, why did you suddenly ......?"

She wanted to say something but was tightly held in his arms, her face was pressed against his hard chest at once, only to hear his chest vibrate slightly, and the man said in a deep voice: "Ning'er, meeting you is the greatest happiness in my life."

"You're drunk." Jiang Ning leaned out of his arms and gently pushed him back.

Qin Luo's big hand rubbed her face, with a pair of eyes in it

The water vapor was full of tenderness: "I'm not drunk, I just remembered the past."

As soon as he mentioned the previous incident, Jiang Ning couldn't help but get nervous, and his body couldn't help but stiffen.

"It's all for me, it's for me that you became like this, I remember that at that time you were much softer than now, when you went out with me, you were assassinated, but you stood in front of me, I still remember the way the poison dart pierced into your body at that time."

Speaking of this, Qin Luo's voice became a little hoarse, and there seemed to be inexplicable emotions in his eyes.

Jiang Ning listened to what he said slowly, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Later, your body began to age rapidly, I invited the imperial doctors all over the world, and I fought in all directions, but I couldn't save you." Speaking of this, Qin Luo rubbed her body into his arms, with a thick sense of guilt.

What he said, Jiang Ning's heart jumped suddenly, and many one-sided pictures suddenly flashed in his mind, it was a scene of a woman vomiting blood, the man protected her in his arms, with despair in his eyes, the picture turned, a white-haired woman, who had been withering her hands, her eyes affectionately caressed Qin Luo's hand, he whispered something to her, she showed a smile.

Her heart seemed to be shaken, or perhaps because the owner of this body was once hers, and her heart suddenly became soft. Soft.

"Ning'er, don't cry, I will definitely not let such a thing happen in the future, I will definitely protect you." Qin slightly let go of her, his rough fingers rubbing her face.

Jiang Ning raised her head at this time, her eyes were confused, she raised her hand and touched her face, sure enough, there were tears, and the warm liquid flowed down her cheeks, she was a little puzzled, why did she cry.

"I know, I believe in you." Jiang Ning was casually perfunctory, she suddenly panicked, at that time under the water, her body became a merman, and now her tears will turn into pearls.

Her eyes widened instantly, watching the tears that fell and disappeared on the pillow, and she breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately.

This series of changes Jiang Ning looked at Qin Luo with some concern, but found that Qin Luo had fallen asleep, she showed a helpless smile, this was the first time she had seen him drink so much, he fell asleep, and she was completely relieved, but with her eyes open, she couldn't sleep at all.

It wasn't until late at night that Jiang Ning fell asleep with a thick tiredness.

The next morning, she slowly opened her eyes, with a faint flush on her face, she thought she would still nest in his arms, but she didn't expect that even the residual warmth beside her was gone.

There was an inexplicable feeling of frustration in his heart, Jiang Ning was a little irritable, this feeling was unacceptable.

And last night, she actually cried, which is really not in line with her behavior, the merman's tears are only for the beloved, and it is precisely because of this that the merman's tears are so precious, because the people who really love each other, how can they be willing to let each other cry.

"Mother? Empress? Xia Ling carefully called Jiang Ning several times, but Jiang Ning didn't react.
