Chapter 194: The True Plan
His chest rose and fell violently twice, and anger appeared on his face again, "I, don't agree, do you understand?" He stood up as he spoke, as if the act of sitting down was no way to express his anger.
"As long as I don't agree for a day, you will not be allowed to terminate for a day, even if you die, you can only die within the walls of this palace!"
Jiang Jingjing waited quietly to look at the green tendons on Mu Jingzhao's neck, and his gaze slid along the texture of his green tendons to the back of his ears.
She didn't feel angry, she just thought it was kind of funny.
She has been with Mu Jingzhao for so long, it's not that she doesn't realize the other party's moody temper, but it's the first time that she is as unreasonable as a child today.
Such an instant seems to have gently knocked open a crack in the image of Mu Jingzhao's strategizing emperor that he had worked hard in these days, and all the disguises were destroyed.
In front of his extremely angry expression, Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing her smile like this, Mu Jingzhao's face instantly couldn't hold back, and the anger on his face receded a little, but he still waited for her, and his momentum did not relax for half a minute.
"What are you laughing at! I'm telling you serious things. ”
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and barely suppressed the smile on her face, but for a moment, she giggled again.
The annoyance on Mu Jingzhao's face gradually turned into speechlessness, he stared at Jiang Ning for a long time, as if he felt a little tired from bending over and staring at her like this, so he sat down again and continued to stare at her.
Jiang Ning laughed inexplicably for a long time, and finally began to cough violently, coughing so that his cheeks were red, the corners of his eyes were filled with tears, and his stomach hurt even more, so he finally stopped.
"Alright." Jiang Ning held his stomach, took a deep breath, and reluctantly suppressed his smile, "Actually, it's just one thing, I don't care what you have to do or what you want to plan, if you want me to believe you, then you must tell me the truth, it's as simple as that." ”
Mu Jingzhao was stunned and looked at her, looking like he wanted to say something.
Jiang Ning is not stupid, she is just a bystander, it's not that she can't see the clues, she has no opinion on Mu Jingzhao's plan, and it has nothing to do with her, but if she wants to believe it, then she must be honest.
The other party was silent for a moment, and without warning bent down and hugged her.
This was a very heavy and deep hug, because the distance between the two was a little far, Mu Jingzhao had no choice but to get off the chair, squatting on the ground and looking up at her.
It was the first time in his memory that Mu Jingzhao looked up to her like this.
This time there were no more words in the hug, but Jiang Ning inexplicably tasted some joy from it.
After a long time, Mu Jingzhao let go of her, but did not sit back on the chair, still maintaining a half-kneeling posture and looking up at her.
The lines of his face were particularly soft in the flickering light, but his eyes were shining, which made Jiang Ning inexplicably think of the way Snowball looked at him.
"Actually." Mu Jingzhao's voice was gentle and soft, and he reached out and held her hands that were naturally hanging between her legs in the palm of his hand.
The warmth from the other party's palm and the serious tone made Jiang Ning inexplicably think of the scene when she was very young, when her mother stayed by the bedside to tell her stories.
Such a gentle tone made Mu Jingzhao's eyebrows and eyes stained with a bit of tenderness that had not been seen for a long time.
"You should have guessed it, I plan to take this opportunity to uproot the Shen family." As he spoke, his eyebrows were dyed with a bit of cruelty.
A slight explosion came from a nearby fire, which seemed to respond to him.
"At that time, we had just left Qingshui County, and I was worried that Shen Tong would do something to Pei Yu and them, so I sent Ah Zheng to watch secretly, and at the same time united with the queen to perform such a scene."
Jiang Ning trembled, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
In fact, she also guessed that the assassination was deliberate, the purpose was to threaten Shen Tong not to attack Pei Yu and them, and at the same time perform this big drama of the queen's regaining favor.
But she never expected Shen Qingrong to play such a role in this.
Reasonable, she couldn't think of any reason for Shen Qingrong to deal with her father with Mu Jingzhao.
"Why, Queen?"
Mu Jingzhao sighed slightly, and his face couldn't help but feel a little pity.
"The relationship between the queen and the Shen family is far from what it seems on the surface, as the eldest daughter in the family, and after she is a country, the glory of the entire family is almost on her alone."
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, even if Mu Jingzhao didn't say these things, she could actually see them.
"It's just that everything Shen Tong does is for his youngest son, even if it is this time to seek power and usurp the throne, the queen is also making a wedding dress for her younger brother."
Jiang Ning was stunned, and his mind couldn't turn around.
It stands to reason that if Mu Jingzhao dies, then the first successor should be the son of Mu Jingzhao and Shen Qingrong, is it-
Jiang Ning's eyes widened instantly.
"Yes, as you think, Shen agrees to rebel, but he is unwilling to bear the infamy of the whole world, so he wants to get rid of me, help his young son to ascend to the throne, and the queen's mother family will transfer power and gradually control the government."
Jiang Ning carefully weighed it in his heart, if things were really the same as Mu Jingzhao said, once the Shen family took control of the government and transferred power to Shen Qingrong's younger brother, Shen Qingrong would be in a very embarrassing situation at that time.
To put it simply, she was completely squeezed out of the last trace of value and became an outcast.
In such a situation, anyone will probably choose Mu Jingzhao.
No matter how you say this topic, there is no way to bypass the fact that the queen is pregnant, and Jiang Ning can't help but feel blocked in her heart.
Although there was nothing unusual in his expression, the hand held by Mu Jingzhao couldn't help but hide back.
Mu Jingzhao's movements of holding her hand not only did not relax, but tightened a little, he looked up at Jiang Ning, and there was a flickering orange fire point in his eyes.
"The queen is not pregnant." His tone was lighthearted, as if he were quite pleasant.
Jiang Ning glanced at him, obviously not quite convinced.
"Not really." He was a little helpless, "As far as our plan is concerned, it will be more troublesome to have children. ”
Jiang Ning's eyes staring at him did not relax at all.
Mu Jingzhao grinned at her, and there was a bit of flattery in his words, "Besides, I have no relationship with the queen, and getting married is just a helpless move, so naturally there will be no husband and wife." ”
Jiang Ning turned his face away and stopped looking at him.
Whether this kind of thing is true or false is just Mu Jingzhao's words, she has no way to verify it, and she doesn't bother to worry about it so much.
"Huh." Mu Jingzhao's tone had a bit of a dead face, this kind of tone, Jiang Ning often heard it in the conversation between Lu Feng and Zheliu.
He reached out and straightened Jiang Ning's face, forcing her to look at him.
"I've told you everything, but you have to keep your promises, and trust me."
Jiang Ning nodded, and agreed to it.
"You probably know the rest of the matter, the queen told me Shen Tong's plan, just wait for the day he makes a move, and uproot it." (End of chapter)
