On the other side, Mu Jingzhao was slightly stunned, and then said in a deep voice, "This matter is really a bit too abnormal, I have been married to the queen for many years, and I know that she is not such a reckless person." ”

Jiang Ning was slightly stunned, she really couldn't understand why Mu Jingzhao's thinking was always different from that of normal people.

The correct answer was so clearly placed in front of him, but he wanted to easily dismiss this possibility.

She opened her mouth and was about to open her mouth to argue something, but the sentence that Mu Jingzhao said not long ago instantly appeared in her mind: "I have been married to the queen for many years. ”

She seemed to understand what Mu Jingzhao was thinking in an instant, so she simply pulled the quilt, wrapped her whole body, and no longer tried to argue with Mu Jingzhao.

"Then so be it, the concubine will sleep first."

Mu Jingzhao let out an inaudible "um" in his nose, followed by a sentence, "Okay, I'm here, something to call me." ”

Jiang Ning originally wanted to argue a few words, but she had been making trouble all night today, and she was really tired, and she didn't bother to argue with Mu Jingzhao anymore, so she turned around and closed her eyes.

The exhaustion of body and mind hit at the same time, Jiang Ning's brain was in a trance, but his thoughts gradually became clearer.

Everything that happened tonight instantly flooded into her brain, but it made her whole body gradually sober up.

She could clearly feel that Mu Jingzhao was sitting on the edge of the bed behind her, and the frequency of his breathing drove his arm that naturally hung behind him, gently rubbing it on the quilt behind Jiang Ning one by one.

Jiang Ning rolled his face, his eyes widened face up, and Mu Jingzhao was taken aback by surprise.

"You're not sleeping yet?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "The concubine can't sleep." ”

In the past, when she was living on the streets, she had no place to sleep, so she could only sleep in a dilapidated temple at night.

Late one night, she slept alone in a ruined temple and was almost bullied by a homeless man who had wandered here, but fortunately she was clever and able to speak at that time, and she escaped by luck.

From then on, however, whenever someone appeared by her side while she was sleeping, she would wake up instantly, no matter how deep she was asleep.

But today, she felt that the exhaustion in her body was beyond her ability.

is no longer in the mood to tell the man in front of him about his sad past.

She narrowed her eyes and pulled the quilt down on her shoulder, "The concubine is thinking about what happened today." ”

Mu Jingzhao's eyes were a little gloomy, and he exhaled heavily, "I didn't intend to involve you in these disputes, but I missed it. ”

Jiang Ning carefully looked at Mu Jingzhao's lowered eyebrows, and understood in his heart that what the other party said was what he said.

"It's okay." She said softly, her gaze slowly moved from the position of Mu Jingzhao's cheek to the money bag on his waist, "If the emperor feels that he owes something to his concubines, he can also use practical actions to compensate for his concubines." ”

Sensing her gaze, Mu Jingzhao trembled, and hurriedly reached out to cover the money bag on his waist.

"Don't look at me, I don't have any money!"

Jiang Ning shrugged helplessly, pulled the quilt to cover his shoulders again, and only looked at him with half a small face.

"Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you are so picky, and the concubines are really worried about the future of Gongguo."

As soon as Jiang Ning's words fell, she saw Mu Jingzhao staring at her, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, Jiang Ning stretched out his arm and stretched his waist, with a relaxed expression, "Your Majesty doesn't have to mind, at least the concubine is now well fed and warmly dressed, and she is already very satisfied." ”

The undercurrent in Mu Jingzhao's eyes surged, and the shallow distress like a bend of the stream slowly chiseled open his dark pupils and overflowed.

He turned his head a little unconsciously, coughed lightly, and then said in an inaudible voice, "I will try my best to protect you." ”

Jiang Ning sniffled, a little reluctant to continue talking about the topic.

"How's the concubine?"

"She's fine, she should rest in her palace now." Mu Jingzhao lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, "She asked me to tell you that she is very happy on her birthday this year." ”

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Ning's face, and that smile poured out of her smiling eyes like spring water at the beginning of the melting of ice and snow.

"That's good." She pursed her lips in satisfaction, as if in an instant she had forgotten all the suffering she had suffered today.

Mu Jingzhao looked at her contented appearance, and couldn't stop laughing, "You and the concubine have never known each other in their lives, why are you so good to her." ”

Jiang Ning turned his face sideways, his gaze leisurely.

Commiseration? Sympathize? Or do you simply not want to see such a fairy-like beauty die? Jiang Ning couldn't say clearly.

"The concubine just doesn't want the concubine to be wronged for no reason, and murdering the queen is not a light crime."

Mu Jingzhao smiled and shook his head, with a doting helplessness in his eyes.

"Then you're not afraid that others will poison you?"

Jiang Ning was stunned, and she suddenly thought of the suffocation on the line of life and death not long ago.

I still have lingering palpitations.

"I didn't think about it that much."

"You girl is really fateful." Mu Jingzhao sighed softly.

However, the conversation between the two seemed to instantly pull Jiang Ning into the cold koi pond in the lake not long ago.

She clutched the quilt on her chest with both hands, as if she was grasping the last straw, the feeling of suffocation kept coming, and in a trance, she saw Lin Zheng's face gradually clear in front of her.

Jiang Ning's face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jingzhao hurriedly leaned down, his palm close to Jiang Ning's forehead.

The other party's call seemed to instantly pull Jiang Ning back from the suffocating illusion.

didn't have time to pay attention to whether Mu Jingzhao's movement on her forehead was too far away, she hurriedly spoke, "Did Commander Lin save me tonight, how is he?" ”

Mu Jingzhao's originally anxious gaze cooled down instantly, and he looked at Jiang Ning, as if he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"He's fine, my Praetorian Guard commander isn't as fragile as you."

Jiang Ning nodded, and exhaled deeply, if Lin Zheng did something to save her, she was afraid that she would be difficult to let go of in this life.

The second time. Jiang Ning thought silently, this was the second time Lin Zheng had saved her.

Such a great kindness, I don't know when I can repay it.

Just when Jiang Ning's thoughts were in turmoil, Mu Jingzhao was looking at her quietly, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be expectant and restrained.

At this time, it was early summer, and there was already the sound of insects outside the window, and the sound of insects quietly flowed into the house, gradually filling the void left by the silence of the two.

However, such a sound made Jiang Ning suddenly realize that it was late at night, and he and Mu Jingzhao were alone in the same room.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

In fact, Mu Jingzhao wanted to say that he also fell into the water at that time and soaked in the water for a long time, but he just changed his clothes and came to take care of her non-stop.

But in the end, Mu Jingzhao pursed his lips, and finally didn't make a sound.

"It's okay, it's getting late now, if there's nothing going on, I'll go first."

Jiang Ning nodded, in response.

Mu Jingzhao got up and slowly walked to the door of the room, Jiang Ning looked at his back as he left, and found that water droplets continued to drip from his hair, leaving a trail of water on the ground.

And the side of his bed was also stained with a large patch.
