After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

The Queen nodded in agreement. "Of course. Go back and discuss this with Prime Minister Nian, and then come back and give me a reply."

The Nian Su Su should be lowered.

With Nian Susu's assurance, the Queen was in a good mood and talked to her for a long time. Most of the talks were about Prince Qing, such as Prince Qing's embarrassing childhood and interesting stories from his youth.

Nian Susu was not interested at all, but had to pretend to be happy to hear it.

Walking out of Zhongcui Palace again, she waited anxiously for a long time. The system did not pop up a death notice again, and she finally felt relieved.

Nian Susu walked towards Suzaku Gate with a heavy heart.

I didn't expect that my choice would directly affect the original owner's ending. It seems that I have to be careful in what I say and do in the future.

In front of the Suzaku Gate, Nian Susu saw a familiar figure.

The man had his back to her. He was tall and slender, wearing a light yellow waisted robe, a jade crown on his head, and standing with his hands behind his back.

What was he doing at Suzaku Gate? Didn't Tianxuan Villa have a rule that prohibited people from associating with the imperial palace?

Nian Susu was a little confused. She quickened her pace and walked forward. Just as she was about to call for help, after seeing that the dark pattern embroidered on his cuffs was a coiled dragon, Nian Susu realized that this man was Xuanji.

The man seemed to be aware of her approach and turned around vigilantly. The two of them faced each other, and Nian Susu had no way to avoid her.

The man had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His eyebrows were as long as his temples. His eyes were curved inwards and outwards, which gave him an evil look. However, his black pupils were as deep and depressing as an ancient pond.

"Miss Nian?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile, a little surprised.

This is the current crown prince Qin Junyu.

Nian Susu lowered his eyes, stepped back a few steps and saluted him, "Greetings, Your Highness."

I don’t know if it’s because she offended Qin Junyu at the birthday banquet in the palace that made her feel guilty when she saw him.

She was also worried that the rumors in the capital that she disliked him might have reached his ears.

She didn't want to make too many enemies. One year and a month was enough to annoy her. If possible, she wanted to keep a neutral attitude with the gloomy prince.

Qin Junyu found her cautious look funny for some reason, and his voice was also a little amused, "Miss Nian, is there something going on in the palace?"

Nian Susu nodded, "The Queen invites you to have tea with her."

Qin Junyu said "Oh".

She never raised her head from beginning to end. There were only a few plain hairpins inserted in her fallen horse bun, and she was wearing a plain silk skirt, which was unlike her usual dressing style.

Qin Junyu frowned slightly, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Nian Susu wanted to take this opportunity to explain to him what happened at the birthday party. But when the words came to her lips, Qin Junyu spoke first, "We met briefly at the birthday party that day, and I didn't have time to say hello to my fellow year-old girl. When I see her again today, I feel very close to her."

"Hmm?" Nian Susu frowned, not understanding what he meant.

Could it be that he heard those rumors and was being sarcastic? No wonder it sounded like there was something else going on.

She bit her lower lip and felt even more guilty.

She closed her eyes and decided to defend herself, "Your Highness, when you came to greet me at the Queen's birthday banquet that day, I didn't leave the table on purpose. I was just not feeling well. I don't know how it got out and it became like I had a problem with you."

She didn't dare to say the word "disgust", for fear that the prince would get even angrier after hearing it.

Qin Junyu laughed. It turned out that she was afraid of him because of this.

"Miss Nian, are you upset about this?"

Nian Susu hesitated for a moment, not because she was brooding over it. She was really afraid that she would be hated even though she had done nothing, so it was better to resolve any misunderstandings that could be explained as soon as possible.

She nodded, "Well... I didn't mean to offend Your Highness. I couldn't sleep or eat well after hearing the rumors. I really feel bad. I am even more worried that Your Highness is troubled by the rumors. I have had the opportunity to explain it to Your Highness today. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

Qin Junyu nodded with a half-smile, "I understand."

Nian Susu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiangfu.

Nian Susu returned to the east wing with a heavy heart and found Xuanji waiting for her.

"What do you want from me?" Nian Susu glanced at him unhappily, pushed open the door and motioned for him to come in.

Xuan Ji followed her in. Seeing her dejected look, he knew she was in a bad mood. He wanted to ask but was afraid of being abrupt, so he had to talk about his own affairs first. "These past few days, I've always felt dry mouth and fever all over my body. I'm worried that the medicine has side effects, so I wanted to ask you for advice."

Nian Susu said "Oh" weakly, it turned out to be about this matter.

Xuan Ji lowered his eyes, "I see that the young lady seems to be in a bad mood, why don't I come back another day?"

Nian Susu said nothing, but pointed at the stool.

Xuan Ji sat down obediently.

Nian Susu grabbed his arm and rolled up his sleeve to reveal half of his strong forearm. There were no black lines on his arm, so it should not be a conflict between medicine and poison.

She was in no mood to appreciate the alluring muscles and took Xuan Ji's pulse with a look of despair on her face.

Under Xuanji's worried and heavy gaze, Nian Susu told him: "You are getting angry."

Xuan Ji twitched his lips awkwardly and quickly pulled his arm back, "Oh...thank you Miss Nian."

He straightened his sleeves and found Nian Susu holding her chin in her hand in a daze, her face still not looking good. This was the first time he saw her so depressed in the few days they had been together.

Remember when he threatened to kill her in the ancestral hall, she didn't even blink. Could such a fearless person also encounter troubles?

"Ahem... Is Miss Nian in trouble? Do you need help?" Xuan Ji was a little worried.

Nian Susu glanced at him, and he immediately became cowardly, looking away and making excuses for himself, "I only helped you because you helped me detoxify. Do you know how much money Tianxuan Villa charges for a commission? The owner of the villa helped you solve your problems for free, and you don't even appreciate it?"

Nian Susu said "tsk" with disdain. Although Tianxuan Villa is the most powerful entrusted organization in the world, it is not omnipotent.

She said bluntly, "You can't help me with my affairs."

Not to mention that this is a royal private affair and outsiders cannot interfere, just because Tianxuan Villa has a rule: "No involvement in any royal affairs", Xuanji cannot help her.

Could it be that the master of the village would take the lead in breaking the rules? Nian Susu didn't expect Xuan Ji to do this for her.

Xuanji was proud of her praise for Tianxuan Villa one second, but the next second he was poured with a bucket of cold water. He was immediately unhappy, Nian Susu was challenging the authority of Tianxuan Villa!

Xuan Ji waved his hand and declared: "After so many years in the martial arts world, there is nothing I can't solve!"

"Okay." Nian Susu straightened his back and looked at him with interest. "The Queen wants me to marry Prince Qing, but I don't want to. Can you help me postpone this marriage?"

Mystery: ...

Nian Susu was still staring at him, her bright little fox eyes seemed to be saying: What? I told you that you couldn't help.

Xuanji lowered his eyes. He really couldn't help Nian Susu, and felt a little guilty about it. His tone became lower, "Tianxuan Villa has rules. We can't interfere in the affairs of the royal family."
