Another bolt of lightning struck, and a muffled thunder rolled across the sky. Mu Jingzhao gathered the cloak on his body and closed the window.

"Then I'll go back first and take care of myself."

Jiang Ning nodded, obviously, she couldn't notice so many emotional changes in Mu Jingzhao, and she didn't have any special thoughts.

She only felt that what she was forced to accept today was a bit excessive.

The overworking of her brain caused her to fall into a very extreme exhaustion.

She just wanted to send away the living ancestor in front of her quickly, wash and prepare to rest.

Hearing Mu Jingzhao's words, Jiang Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she quickly got up and ran in small steps to send Mu Jingzhao to the door.

With that eager look, he even wanted to kick Mu Jingzhao out.

Seeing Mu Jingzhao stepping out of the threshold, Jiang Ning was about to close the door with a happy face, but he turned back as if he had thought of something, and looked at her intently.

"One more thing."

Jiang Ning's footsteps were stunned, and his body almost hit Mu Jingzhao because of inertia.

The smile on her face instantly froze on her face, and she began to think about where she would kick Mu Jingzhao with one kick in order to kick him out easily.

"Is there a shortage of people in your palace?"

"There's no shortage." She thought that Mu Jingzhao had the idea of placing someone in her palace again, so she refused without thinking about it, "It is completely enough for so many people in the concubine's palace." ”

"Then why do you want to borrow my Praetorian Guard to work for you?"

"Oh, Lu Feng." Jiang Ning waved his hand, and looked like he hated Mu Jingzhao very much, "This is borrowing, he is a good friend of Zheliu, and he is also half of the cold palace person." ”

"I'm not talking about Lu Feng."

Jiang Ning instantly sighed in his heart, and his expression revealed a trace of unnaturalness.

Before making sure that Mu Jingzhao was not the enemy who destroyed her family, she felt that it was better not to let the other party know about her acquaintance with Lin Zheng.

"Oh, that day it was because I was about to irrigate, and Lu Feng and Zheliu were not there, and I couldn't carry it on my shoulders, so I definitely had to find someone to help."

Jiang Ning snorted and tried to perfunctory this matter.

Mu Jingzhao glanced her up and down, a little helpless, "If you need someone next time, come to me." ”

After Mu Jingzhao finished speaking, he began to regret it, he almost didn't doubt at all that this woman really dared to send himself to let him weed and plow the land for her.

A bright smile slowly appeared on Jiang Ning's face, and Mu Jingzhao's words turned into countless priceless gold ingots, smashing towards Jiang Ning.

In just that short moment, Jiang Ning had thousands of ideas in his mind to make money, which could maximize the value of Mu Jingzhao's farming.

didn't wait for Mu Jingzhao to repent, she hurriedly patted Mu Jingzhao's hand, "Deal, the gentleman is hard to chase after him." ”

Mu Jingzhao originally wanted to scold, but when he saw the bright smile on her face, he slowly held back.

After a long time, he finally spoke slowly, "Then I will go first." ”

As soon as Mu Jingzhao stepped out of the palace gate, Jiang Ning instantly recalled the true purpose of going to Shen Qingrong today.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute." She stepped forward in two steps, took out the peacock feather hairpin from her arms, and handed it to Mu Jingzhao, "This is the gift that the concubine originally planned to give to the queen's mother, if you wronged her and made her unhappy, remember to give this to her." ”

Mu Jingzhao didn't open the box, but just glanced at Jiang Ning with some hesitation.

The smile on Jiang Ning's face was still bright and innocent.

Mu Jingzhao nodded, raised his legs and stepped out of the palace gate.

Jiang Ning waved her hand brightly and said goodbye to Mu Jingzhao, she washed up and soon fell asleep.

——

On the other side, inside the Changle Palace.

Shen Qingrong sat on the couch, her eyes slightly closed, her expression was indifferent, she held a string of small, sandalwood rosaries in her hand, unhurriedly playing in her hand, the rosaries hit each other and made a rhythmic "pop, pop" muffled sound. Beside her, Ling Yue stood obediently, with an angry expression.

"Your Majesty, this is clearly going to embarrass you, Niangniang." Ling Yue said angrily.

She has been by Shen Qingrong's side since she was a child, and she knows better than anyone what Shen Qingrong's conduct is.

She knew how much effort and energy Shen Qingrong had put into being a good queen, so she was quite dissatisfied with Mu Jingzhao's behavior of putting Shen Qingrong in a predicament for the sake of temptation.

"All these clues point to the palace, the emperor suspects the palace, questions the palace, this is a matter of course."

Shen Qingrong looked indifferent, and the gentle smile on her face that always existed on weekdays was long gone.

A bolt of lightning instantly illuminated half of the sky, reflecting Shen Qingrong's pale, thunder rolling, showers falling like drumbeats, and the fragrance of the earthy fragrance wafted into the hall, completely overshadowing the smell of sandalwood in the house.

Ling Yue's face was a little puzzled, "In that case, why are you doing this?" ”

Shen Qingrong smiled gently, "The emperor is too suspicious, he is so suspicious, sooner or later he will suspect this palace, it is better for this palace to take the initiative and take the opportunity to get rid of suspicion first." ”

She slid the last rosary with a snap, and then a thunderbolt rolled in.

"One is to get rid of his suspicion of the palace, and the other is to delay the time to divert the emperor's attention from his father, killing two birds with one stone."

As soon as Shen Qingrong's words fell, the anger on Ling Yue's face had completely disappeared.

She looked at Shen Qingrong with a proud smile on her face.

Although she believed in Shen Qingrong's wisdom and ability, in her eyes, dealing with such a thing was still as difficult as walking a tightrope.

"Then mother, what should we do?"

"Check." Shen Qingrong casually put the rosary in her hand on the table, "Check it thoroughly, make the movement as big as possible, and make the emperor feel the anger of the palace, the anger of the pride being trampled on." ”

"Yes." Ling Yue nodded in response, "From tomorrow onwards, the slave maid will start with the people around Poria and conduct a thorough investigation. ”

"Mother, what do you think should be the result?"

Outside the window, the rain poured down, and the sound of the rain unscrupulously covered up the conversation between Ling Yue and Shen Qingrong, as if they were covering for the master and servant.

"In the end, I found out that it was an old man in the palace who was instructed to do it as a last resort, and when she found it, she had committed suicide in fear of sin."

"Yes." Ling Yue would never question her master's decision, as Shen Qingrong's most loyal minion, it was her job to unconditionally follow all of Shen Qingrong's orders.

"Niangniang wants to disturb the emperor's mind and make him feel that there are eyeliner everywhere in the palace?"

Shen Qingrong nodded slightly, she looked at the pouring rain outside the window, "Sometimes, a man's guilt is also a weapon. ”

"What about Concubine Ning?"

She still looked at the rain curtain and didn't look back, "Leave her alone yet." She paused, sighed slowly, and shook her head, "I still like that little girl, but it's a pity." ”

Ling Yue didn't say anything, but just looked out the window in the direction of Shen Qingrong's gaze.
