The red hijab obstructed Jiang Ning's vision, and looking through the gap in the red cloth, she could only see the red cloth shoes embroidered with golden chrysanthemums slowly approaching her.

The red cloth shoes were not far in front of Jiang Ning, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, the girl just accidentally fell asleep, and her body fell crooked and hit her head." Jiang Ning judged from the voice that the person who came was probably an old woman.

The old lady stretched out her hand to help her up, "The girl is having a temper with me, I will coax her." ”

Jiang Ning was so shocked that he trembled, and struggled hard to break free from the old mother's shackles.

The old woman's hand holding Jiang Ning's arm tightened suddenly, and the stinging pain from the flesh made Jiang Ning grin, but her mouth was stuffed with rags, and she could only make a few "uh-huh" sounds.

Just as she was struggling, a cold light flashed, and a snow-white dagger pressed against Jiang Ning's neck

"If I were you, I'd be honest." The old lady's tone was gloomy, which made Jiang Ning feel cold, "You are in my hands now, be sensible, I can spare your life, do you understand?" ”

Jiang Ning nodded, and the old lady turned around and walked out of the sedan chair.

The procession continued to move forward, and the procession did not know how long it had been, gradually changing from the crowd to the tranquility.

I don't know how long it took, the sedan chair finally landed, and the old lady untied Jiang Ning, helped her get off the sedan chair, and walked a long way.

Along the way, the old lady talked a lot to Jiang Ning.

The general content is to give her 50,000 taels of silver and assassinate the groom tonight, if Jiang Ning is unwilling, it will be a dead end.

Jiang Ning had no choice, so he could only respond first and think of countermeasures later.

The old lady seemed to be very satisfied with Jiang Ning's performance, and handed a dagger to Jiang Ning, and handed her into the hands of another young maid.

Jiang Ning covered her head, she didn't know where she was, and after the old grandmother's intimidation, she no longer dared to act rashly, so she was obediently taken into the cave room.

She was alone in the cave room for a long time, silent all around, except for the shadows of the dancing candles swaying on her feet.

I don't know how long it took, she heard the screaming shout of "The emperor has arrived" outside the door, and she suddenly realized that she had actually been sent to the palace.

And the one he wants to marry is the saint today.

The door creaked open, and the sound of heavy and soothing footsteps sounded in the empty room, Jiang Ning understood that the target to be assassinated tonight was approaching her.

Fortunately, the other party didn't say much to her, so he directly lifted her hijab.

She looked at the exquisite embroidered golden dragon pattern on the other party's body, and she almost burst into tears. She really couldn't imagine that in this world, except for the emperor, who could administer justice to her.

The urgency in her heart made her temporarily forget the fear in her heart, and she subconsciously wanted to grab the other party's collar and tell what happened to her.

Helplessly, the long-term binding made Jiang Ning's limbs weak, and she just stepped forward to greet her, and the whole person fell at the emperor's feet.

Jiang Ning did not hesitate, and hugged the thigh of the emperor, Mu Jingzhao.

Regardless of Mu Jingzhao's struggle, Jiang Ning hugged his thigh and told him what had happened to him in the past few days.

In the depths of her love, Jiang Ning held the dagger that the old lady stuffed into her, and cried bitterly to ensure that she was loyal to the emperor.

Then, she was treated as a nonsense madman by Mu Jingzhao and thrown out of the palace.

Subsequently, the unlucky maid Zheliu, whom she had never met, was also thrown out of the palace.

The master and servant were sent to the cold palace non-stop.

Jiang Ning was quite happy and relaxed in the cold palace at the beginning.

She originally told stories outside the palace, working from 9 to 5, rain or shine. finally got lazy, she couldn't ask for it, so she lay flat every day, just as a long vacation for nothing.

Anyway, there is no worry about eating and drinking in the palace, and the conditions are good.

Until one day, the desperate Zheliu was holding a mouse and almost swallowed it alive in front of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning suddenly realized that her comfortable life in the cold palace was exchanged for Zheliu's selfless sacrifice.

She suddenly felt a little guilty, after all, Zheliu was also affected by her.

So she decided to go back to her old business and use her own hands to support herself and fold willows.

But being in the cold palace, it is always difficult to move, so Jiang Ning asked Lu Feng, who was a good friend of Zheliu, to find a way to attract the palace people here.

And she and Zheliu dug a big hole under the corner of the cold palace and began to tell stories to the palace people outside the hole.

Jiang Ning thought about it and felt that what people were most talking about at the moment was the gossip of the masters in the palace, especially the fact that she was beaten into the cold palace not long ago.

So, she told everyone the ups and downs of her and Mu Jingzhao's love story, which caused countless palace people to cry in the corner.

Jiang Ning made a lot of money by telling stories, not to mention it, and successfully convinced everyone that she and Mu Jingzhao had an unforgettable past, and the reason why she was in the cold palace was because there were unspeakable misunderstandings and hardships in it.

It was only a matter of time before she walked out of the cold palace and became a favorite concubine.

Even though the palace people were skeptical of the twists and turns in Jiang Ning's mouth, this suspicion was quickly dissipated.

All the unreasonableness has become reasonable under the identity of Jiangning's "prime minister's daughter".

So, everyone was very happy to send Jiang Ning a favor.

After all, if she gains power and promotion, she will be able to soar in the near future, and if she is not powerful, there will be no loss.

So, Jiang Ning survived in the cold palace like this.

——

At this moment, in the Frost Palace.

Jiang Ning looked at Mu Jingzhao in front of her in disbelief, and in the end, she still succumbed under the unshakable imperial power.

"What does the emperor want the villain to do?"

The corners of Mu Jingzhao's mouth outlined a smile that was in his hands, "Kill me." ”

He couldn't help but stuff the gold ingot in his hand into Jiang Ning's hand, "Didn't that thief buy my life with 50,000 taels of silver?" Then he got up instantly, "Then I will buy my life back for 100,000 taels of gold." ”

Jiang Ning was a little stunned, she looked at the heavy gold ingot in her hand in a daze, for the first time in her life, she was worried about the future of this country.

As if he had finally realized his gaffe, Mu Jingzhao withdrew his hand and sat down again.

"Villain..."Jiang Ning opened her mouth, she originally wanted to ask if she had a choice.

When the words came to his lips, he felt a little redundant, "What does the emperor want the villain to do?" ”

Hearing her ask, Mu Jingzhao sat up straight and said in a straight voice, "Just assassinate me according to your original plan." ”

Jiang Ning originally wanted to defend that it was not his own and others' plans, but when the words came to his lips, he was held back again.

"No matter what way you use it, whatever means you use, I will only give you five chances." He raised his chin and looked at her condescendingly, "If you succeed, I will give you the promised reward, if you fail..."

The second half of the sentence was swallowed by Mu Jingzhao, in fact, there is no need to say it, Jiang Ning can also roughly guess what it is.

"The first time, on the fifteenth of this month."

"What if the villain is captured as an assassin?"

"I will forgive you for your innocence."

"What if the villain's assassination succeeds?"

"I will leave a testament to fulfill my promise."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, but still didn't ask any actual questions, and the two confronted each other silently in this palace.

At the end, Mu Jingzhao slowly spoke, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and knelt straight, "The villain still has something to ask for." ”

"What?"

She looked at Mu Jingzhao, her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "After the matter is completed, the emperor can return the villain's freedom." ”

Mu Jingzhao didn't seem to expect her to say such a sentence at all, he looked at Jiang Ning in a daze, for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty."

She solemnly kowtowed to Mu Jingzhao, and then got up to say goodbye, "If there is nothing to do, the villain will leave first." ”

"Change your name."

Jiang Ning was stunned, "The concubine retired." ”

She thought for a moment, "Can the concubine's storytelling continue?" ”

"Yes." Mu Jingzhao's voice was very soft, "Make my image more positive." ”

She nodded and closed the door for Mu Jingzhao.

Jiang Ning played with the gold ingot in his hand and walked towards the cold palace in the setting sun.

If she remembers correctly, the day she was kidnapped was the same weather.

Ren is Jiang Ning didn't understand that if the other party really wanted to take Mu Jingzhao's life, why would he choose her to marry instead of the prime minister's daughter?

She was just a storyteller on the street, weak, talentless, and beautiful, and she had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There would have been a million better options to accomplish this daunting task, but why, was it her?

Before Jiang Ning walked to the cold palace, he saw a group of palace people surrounded by Wu Yang in the corner.

A green-clothed palace maid saw her and shouted crisply, "Concubine Ning is back-"

The crowd turned to look at her, looking at her with curiosity or concern.

But Jiang Ning can't care about it so much, what happened today is too much and too complicated, it made her dizzy all of a sudden, she just wants to sleep now, and can't care about anything else.

So she waved her hand at everyone weakly, "Today, the palace is a little tired, so I won't talk about books, everyone will wait hard, and the palace will talk for half an hour tomorrow." ”

However, instead of being dispersed by her words, the look of wonder in their eyes deepened.

Jiang Ning was puzzled, turned around and looked in the direction of everyone, only to see an old eunuch with a red nose running towards her at the corner of the long street.

Seeing Jiang Ning turn his head, the old eunuch was overjoyed and waved at Jiang Ning, "Niangniang!" You walked a little faster, and the minions followed you all the way, but they didn't catch up! ”

The old eunuch ran to Jiang Ning and stopped, he smiled flatteringly, "Niangniang, you have finally come out!" With that, he cleared his throat, stopped his waist, pulled out a scroll from his bosom, unfolded it unhurriedly, and said in a shrill voice: "Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said." ”

Jiang Ning knelt down when he heard the sound, and the palace people behind him invariably knelt down.

"Concubine Ning, Jiang Shi, has good conduct and virtue, and is authorized to restore the position and title of concubine, move out of the cold palace, and move to Mingyue Tower-" Then, the old eunuch read out a bunch of bits and pieces of rewards, but Jiang Ning didn't listen too much.

At the end, Jiang Ning kowtowed, but did not accept the order, but just raised his head and said: "Trouble my father-in-law to return to the emperor, this palace is unwilling to move." ”
