Chapter Twenty-Three: The Past
Late at night, on a trail in the Imperial Garden. Jiang Ning had just come out of the Tai Hospital, and was holding his waist and slowly rushing towards the cold palace.
Xu was in a hurry not long ago, and she felt more tired today, dizzy, and had a dull pain in her abdomen.
Not long ago, she had just received an affirmative answer from the imperial doctor who gave her rat poison, that rat poison would not matter even if it was ingested in moderation, and if she drank more water and expelled it as soon as possible, there would be no problem.
Therefore, Jiang Ning didn't feel that her exhaustion at the moment had anything to do with rat poison.
Deeper, she gasped for a heavy gasp of air that formed a white mist in front of her.
Although she was tired, she was much more relaxed.
Not long ago, she told the old lady who gave her rat poison in every possible way, and asked him to put the blame on her when someone asked, as long as she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, no one could convict the old lady doctor.
A relieved smile appeared on Jiang Ning's face, and she turned around and walked to the edge of the bamboo forest.
"Stop!"
The white light flashed, and the man's deep voice sounded a little abruptly, and Jiang Ning paused, and the smile on his face instantly froze on his face.
Jiang Ning instantly held her breath, and a long sword stretched out from the bamboo forest, right in front of her neck, as long as she stopped one step later, the long sword would be embedded in her neck without hindrance.
The night breeze blew, the bamboo shadow swayed, and under the shroud of the moonlight, Jiang Ning could vaguely see the tall figure holding a long sword in the bamboo forest.
She was covered in a cold sweat, and the night breeze made her shiver uncontrollably.
Jiang Ning tried his best to calm his mind.
It was night, and the area was rarely visited, so if she had cried out for help, there was a good chance that she would have been killed before anyone could find her.
She took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "I am Jiang Qingyuan's daughter and the emperor's concubine, I killed people by such clumsy means in the palace, does your master want to be buried with me?" ”
Xu was because the night wind was too cold, and her voice trembled slightly.
In fact, she didn't know how much deterrent it had on the other party.
However, for the time being, she could only think about so much.
She waited for a long time, but the other party still didn't say a word.
In the end, he seemed to sigh deeply, slowly stepped out of the bamboo forest, and put away the sword in his hand.
The moonlight was like water, and the silver-white moonlight sprinkled on each other's faces unscrupulously.
Jiang Ning slowly raised her head, and the familiar and unfamiliar face seemed to instantly awaken her memories from her previous life, and crashed into her eyes unscrupulously.
Her breath stagnated, and the dusty memories smashed at her, making her breathless.
And Lin Zheng in front of her was always standing stiff, with a helpless face.
"My lord's meeting ceremony today flattered the palace." After the panic, her whole person revealed an almost chilling calmness, "So, my lord came today just to tell this palace that my life is still in the palm of your hand?" ”
Lin Zheng looked at her frighteningly indifferent eyes, his face that was always unwavering, and even a sense of helplessness and confusion unique to young people.
"The minister didn't mean that." Lin Zheng turned his face away lightly, he didn't even dare to look directly into Jiang Ning's eyes like this,
"The minister just happened to witness what Niangniang did when she went to the hospital today." Lin Zheng's voice was even like a serious elder, "The minister hopes that Niangniang will not make mistakes again and again." ”
Jiang Ning thought about it, and all the doubts in his mind seemed to have found answers in an instant.
"So, it was you who followed me all the way, it was you who broke the spoon of the palace, and it was you who sent someone to break into the cold palace on the pretext of eradicating the rat infestation?"
"Yes."
At this moment, Jiang Ning instantly understood the identity of the person in front of him in his heart.
Jiang Ning laughed angrily, she glared at Lin Zheng without reservation, "If you really want your master's good, you should find out the person who really poisoned today, instead of keeping an eye on this palace." ”
"The minister just wants to-"
"Bengong doesn't care what you think, Bengong and you have never been all the way, and they will not be all the way in the future."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Ning turned around and walked towards the cold palace.
Behind her, Lin Zheng was still standing dumbfounded, and the hazy moonlight shrouded the figure with an indescribable loneliness.
I don't know if it was because of Lin Zheng's influence, Jiang Ning felt that after he was separated from him, the discomfort on his body was aggravated.
By the time she reached the cold palace, she had curled up into a shrimp shape, and her whole face revealed a terrifying whiteness.
She had just walked to the door of the cold palace, and Mu Jingzhao greeted her directly, "Where did you go, didn't I tell you not to run around!" ”
Jiang Ning opened his mouth, but did not say a word.
Mu Jingzhao reached out to pull her, Jiang Ning's body tilted suddenly, and he almost fell.
"What's wrong with you? Concubine Ning! Mu Jingzhao supported her with a helpless face, "Go and call the imperial doctor!" ”
Jiang Ning's body was weak, and he had long lost the strength to walk, so Mu Jingzhao had no choice but to hold her and try to put her on his back.
However, at the moment when Mu Jingzhao supported her, the meaning of overturning the river and the sea in her abdomen suddenly became violent, and she bent over and vomited.
And Mu Jingzhao couldn't dodge, leaving a large and hideous stain on the corner of the dragon robe.
Mu Jingzhao patted her on the back while his expression was distorted, trying his best to restrain the urge to kill in his heart.
That heroic face, blue and white, white and red, red and black.
It's wonderful.
Jiang Ning vomited, and looked at the corner of Mu Jingzhao's devastated clothes in front of him worriedly.
She stared at the fine embroidery and luster of the garment, and secretly calculated how much money she should lose.
The final estimate made Jiang Ning's heart die, so she stiffened her body like this, maintaining her original movements and not daring to raise her head.
But to her surprise, Mu Jingzhao's fists and feet did not fall on her, not even scolding.
He bent down again, hugged Jiang Ning on his back, and carried her into the cold palace.
She thought dizzily on Mu Jingzhao's back, fortunately she drank a sip of soup at night, otherwise something would definitely happen.
Mu Jingzhao was willing to treat her like this, it must be because he was holding back some bad thoughts and waiting for the autumn queen to settle accounts.
He must not be so kind, he must not.
Thinking so, Jiang Ning rubbed his face towards Mu Jingzhao's clothes.
Mu Jingzhao carried her into the dormitory, took hot water to help her wipe her face clean, turned around and retreated to the door, with his back to Jiang Ning.
"You change your clothes, I don't look at them."
She changed her clothes and was helped to the bed by Mu Jingzhao.
The warm and comfortable touch finally made Jiang Ning's tense nerves stretch.
After a while, she fell asleep.
