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

She glanced at Qin Guanqing and found that he looked normal.

She couldn't help but suspect that the distraught look she saw on him in Heming Pavilion was actually an illusion.

The imperial physician came out from the inner room and handed Qin Junyu a prescription with both hands, "Your Highness, Miss Nian is fine. She just had a common cold and didn't get enough rest, so she fainted. As long as she takes good care of herself and takes medicine on time, she will be cured in five days."

Qin Junyu took the prescription and handed it directly to Zhihua, then waved his hand to signal the imperial physician to leave.

Qin Guanqing didn't drink a sip of tea, he stood up and looked into the inner room, "Royal brother, since Miss Nian is fine, I will leave first."

"Yeah." Qin Junyu responded indifferently.

He had long been accustomed to his brother's cold attitude. He nodded to Li Yaoyuan and left.

Li Yaoyuan and Qin Junyu felt uncomfortable staying in the same space, so they followed Qin Guanqing.

"Take good care of your young lady. If you need anything, go to the third room on the left in the side yard next to Heming Pavilion to find Ah Falcon."

Qin Junyu left after saying this.

The words were spoken so fast that Zhihua didn't even think about it. She just repeated it stupidly based on her memory: "The side yard of Heming Pavilion... the third room from the left... Ah Falcon..."

……

When Nian Susu woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window. She didn't know if it was because she slept too long, but her whole body felt soft and light, and the scene of Wen Fengxu in front of her seemed like an illusion.

She moved her arms and felt sore.

Looking around, this simple and rustic style is definitely Juxiang Garden.

Zhihua pushed the door open and walked in, holding a steaming medicine soup in her hand.

"Miss! You're awake!" She rushed to the bedside, but the medicine soup was steady without spilling a bit.

"Wow, wow, wow... Miss, you scared me to death!" Zhihua pouted in grievance, "How come you caught a cold and had a fever for two days and nights! No matter how much medicine you took or how much you rubbed your body, it was useless. Your Highness was so scared that he almost went to the palace and moved the entire Imperial Hospital here."

Nian Susu forced a faint smile and said, "Silly girl, I just caught a cold, I'm not going to die."

Zhihua tilted her head: "Pfft! Miss, please don't say such things, it's too unlucky!"

Nian Susu exhaled slowly, sorting out Zhihua's words in his mind.

She had a fever for two days and two nights, which meant that the chrysanthemum viewing activity was over. All the girls had left for home yesterday, and now she was the only one left in the Chrysanthemum Garden.

And Qin Junyu... He knew that she had been having a fever for two days and two nights. Does that mean he had been guarding her in Juxiang Garden the whole time?

Thinking of this possibility, she felt a warm feeling in her heart and a sweet smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"Miss Nian is awake?" A gentle female voice came from the door.

Nian Susu raised his eyelids and looked over. Li Yaoyuan was walking towards the couch with a smile on her face.

Zhihua stepped aside and gave up her seat beside the couch.

"Why is Miss Li still in Juxiang Garden? Didn't she go back with the other girls yesterday?" Nian Susu asked.

Li Yaoyuan took the medicine soup from Zhihua's hand and stirred it gently with a spoon. More steam rose. She scooped up a spoonful and handed it to her mouth.

Nian Su Su drank it cooperatively.

"I wanted to leave originally, but I was worried about you being here alone. I wouldn't feel at ease if I returned home, so I decided to stay. I can come and see you from time to time." She fed him another spoonful. "It will be the same if we go back together after you wake up."

Nian Susu smiled but said nothing.

Li Yaoyuan speaks in a gentle voice, which makes people feel soft-hearted.

After finishing a bowl of bitter medicine, Li Yaoyuan asked Zhihua to pack her bags and they would set off for home today.

Zhihua felt that the journey was too hasty. The young lady had just woken up and was very weak. How could she endure the long journey?

But Li Yaoyuan said to Nian Susu, "Juxiang Garden is at the top of the mountain. Not only is the temperature lower than at the foot of the mountain, it's also damp and cold, which is not suitable for recuperation. The imperial physician said that you will be fine once you wake up, so you should go back as soon as possible and don't stay too long."

She lowered her voice and added, "The imperial physician also said that such a damp place is harmful to a woman's body."

When Zhihua heard this, she immediately hurried to pack her things.

It didn't matter how many nights she stayed in, she also wanted to go home early, as it was really uncomfortable living in Juxiang Garden.

An hour later.

Three carriages stopped at the gate of Juxiang Garden.

Nian Susu was as helpless as a dumpling, and was helped into the carriage by Li Yaoyuan and Zhihua.

She glanced at the driver driving the car and felt that he looked very familiar, so she couldn't help but take another look at him.

He stood at the door, hunched over, holding up the car curtain, neither moving forward nor backward.

Zhihua and Li Yaoyuan looked at each other and shook their heads.

Ah Falcon's face turned red as he was stared at, and he clenched the reins tightly in his hands.

He had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Miss Nian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to take you back home safely."

I was feeling uneasy. Did His Highness say that I couldn't reveal my identity? Didn't His Highness say that?

Nian Susu remembered that this man was Qin Junyu's personal bodyguard - A Falcon.

"Where is His Highness?" she asked again.

Ah Falcon felt miserable. If Miss Nian asked him where His Highness had been, how would he answer? His Highness hadn't taught him!

If I say something wrong and make Miss Nian angry with Your Highness, I’ll be dead!

If Miss Nian finds out that I am deliberately saying nice things, she will definitely think that it was Your Highness who instigated me, which will greatly damage Your Highness's image, and I will be doomed!

He will die anyway. It's not that he has no way to retreat. He still has a way to die.

His inner thoughts were very rich, but he remained calm on the surface. "His Highness is in the hunting grounds, too busy to spare time, so he ordered me to take the statue back to the palace."

It's not wrong to say that, right?

Nian Susu nodded and got into the car.

Li Yaoyuan shared a carriage with her, and the other two were loaded with things they brought from the mansion to Juxiang.

Seeing that there was a hot water bottle in the car, Li Yaoyuan gave her a hot water bottle.

My palms were warm in the dormitory, and I felt even more guilty.

After struggling for a while, she finally spoke: "Miss Li, I'm sorry. The matter between me and His Highness..."

It was nothing more than a farce on the day of the chrysanthemum viewing party.

It was a fact that she met Qin Junyu late at night. When Wang Yuejiao and Miss Lin embarrassed her, Li Yaoyuan defended her without saying a word.

She betrayed that trust.

Li Yaoyuan couldn't help laughing, "Is this why Miss Nian has been so worried since she woke up?"

Nian Susu pursed his lips and agreed.

"If I was really angry with you, I wouldn't be in Juxiang Garden waiting for you to wake up."

Li Yaoyuan held her hand that was warmed by the hot water bottle, "Actually, whether you did it or not, I will stand by you. I am arguing with them not to convince them with reason, but to support you! Let them know that you are not alone."

"Although my words may not have much effect, if they can bring you some comfort, that would be the greatest benefit."

She patted the back of Nian Susu's hand and said, "You haven't recovered yet, don't let your imagination run wild. When you recover, we can have tea and chat together again."

Nian Susu smiled and nodded.

Although we have only known each other for a few days, I feel like we should have met earlier.

Maybe this is what it means to be “in tune with each other”.

Li Yaoyuan is her first good friend in this world.
