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

He is like a chess player, every move is under his control.

He had calculated everything, one thing after another.

Nian Susu shuddered and got goose bumps all over his body. Was this a trap set by Qin Junyu? What was the purpose? To put the blame on the queen? Or the wise king?

And Concubine Ning, is she also a pawn of Qin Junyu? Or an ally?

What about her? If she didn't pretend to be crazy to attract everyone and point out the problem with the horse, how would Qin Junyu use to let everyone know that the horse had been drugged?

Is she an event beyond his control?

Nian Susu has so many doubts that his brain is overloaded.

The emperor asked: "Where is the person now?"

Concubine Ning: "I thought he was just a horse thief, so I tied him up in a small tent where I kept my belongings."

She smiled awkwardly, "There is only one person guarding us, he shouldn't escape..."

Of course I can't escape, there is more than one person guarding me.

The reason why she said this was, firstly, to maintain her image of ignorance and innocence in the emperor's mind, and secondly, to pave the way for her own exoneration.

The emperor did not blame her. Instead, he felt that she had helped him a lot and immediately sent guards to follow her maid to arrest the person.

Soon, a secret guard in black was captured and brought forward.

Two guards pressed down on his shoulders and forced him to his knees.

Qin Zehai still had one last glimmer of hope in his heart, which was to bet that the secret guard would not betray him.

The secret guards have all undergone rigorous training, and their perseverance and character are a hundred times stronger than those of ordinary guards. They will not easily betray their masters.

Qin Zehai saw this point and asked the secret guard to give him the drug.

The emperor looked at the secret guards with a very penetrating gaze.

After a moment, he asked, "Did you drug my horse last night?"

The secret guard turned his face away and remained silent.

The emperor asked again: "Who ordered you to drug my horse?"

The secret guard still didn't speak.

Qin Zehai's heart gradually calmed down. He was indeed his man! Facing the emperor's personal interrogation, he showed no fear at all.

But the next second—

The secret guard said word by word: "It was the wise king who ordered me to drug the imperial horse."

After he finished speaking, his facial features twisted into an expression that was hard to read. Was it shock, confusion, or pain?

Qin Zehai felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his mind went blank.

how come……

Concubine Ning was also confused. Wasn't this the Queen's man? How could he betray the virtuous king?

The note clearly said "Tonight, Queen, Stable". She thought she had something on the Queen, but she didn't expect it was Qin Zehai's.

After thinking about it slowly, she realized that she had made a wedding dress for others.

The man deliberately mentioned the Queen in order to lure her over, but in reality the Queen had nothing to do with the matter at all!

Concubine Ning was so angry that her teeth were itching. She felt that all her work this day was in vain!

Qin Zehai had planned everything, but he didn't expect that Nian Su Su had a system. The system had a tool called "Sincerity Pill" that could make people tell the truth.

Nian Susu complained in his heart: What a hassle.

She solved the problem with just one pill, and Qin Junyu didn't have to go through an interrogation.

She had almost guessed that today's move was a chess game played by Qin Junyu, with the purpose of making Qin Zehai suffer the consequences.

Since the final result is the same, she might as well use her "golden finger" to help him.

Nian Susu also saw the surprise on Qin Junyu's face. He certainly didn't expect the secret guard to act like this.

The emperor's eyes changed when he looked at Qin Zehai, becoming gloomy and deep.

He did not ask Qin Zehai, but continued to interrogate the secret guard, "Are you the wise king's man? Is there any evidence to prove that you are his man?"

The secret guard answered truthfully: "I am the secret guard of the wise king. I am responsible for secret missions. I cannot have anything on me to prove my identity."

The emperor did not expect him to be so frank, and he did not dare to believe it.

"Since you are a secret guard, why would you betray your master?"

Nian Su Su: Good question.

The secret guard wouldn't say he was being controlled, would he? Even if he did, no one would believe him.

Secret Guard: "I don't know. I think we should tell the truth. We should be honest. It is wrong to lie."

Everyone:...

Nian Susu: What a simple and unpretentious reason. I feel like the teacher is going to praise the little Anwei and give him a certificate of honor in the next second.

After saying this, the secret guard wanted to die immediately.

He couldn't help but say that he had betrayed his master, which would be fine, but why did he use such a stupid reason?

What would the master think after hearing this? He would probably want to go back and train the people in the Dark Guard Camp again, right?

Qin Zehai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His subordinates betrayed him, saying that people should be honest and not lie.

He really wanted to say: If you really can't do it, just shut up. Silence is another form of honesty.

The emperor also choked.

"Uh... the people you taught, King Xian, are indeed quite good."

Qin Zehai showed an expression that was uglier than crying, "Your Majesty is wrong..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that the emperor was asking him to give him a trick, so he immediately changed "my praise" to "my wise judge".

"Your Majesty, please understand! I have never done such a thing!"

The secret guard blurted out: "You did. You were the one who gave me the Crazy Powder last night."

Qin Zehai: ...

"Who sent you? Why are you slandering me? What benefits did they give you!" He cursed and made faces.

The secret guard also winked and tried to respond to him, but he opened his mouth and said: "I was sent by the wise king. There is no benefit. As a secret guard, I should work hard for my master."

Qin Zehai was convinced by him.

Giving up communicating with the secret guards, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have no reason to murder you! You cannot convict me based on this man's one-sided statement! I am your brother, Your Majesty!" Qin Zehai burst into tears and even brought up the brotherhood.

If the emperor dared to kill him, it would mean he was disregarding the relationship between brothers. When his sons competed for the throne, it would be a bloody battle. Even a father could not be kind to his brothers, so how could he expect his sons to do so?

Since it concerns the fate of the five princes in the next few decades, the emperor cannot kill Qin Zehai under any circumstances.

"In that case, let's search. If we find the Crazy Powder in the Wise King's tent..."

What follows is self-evident.

Led by Qin Junyu, a small team of imperial guards went to search.

Nian Susu was kneeling in the last row. When he saw them leave, he secretly followed them.

Qin Junyu walked in front, and Nian Susu could only talk to him after passing the Imperial Guards.

As soon as he passed the last one, the soldier immediately became alert, "Who is it?"

Finally, the two men made a move to capture her.

"and many more."

Fortunately, Qin Junyu spoke up in time.

He walked towards the back of the team, his eyes always on Nian Susu.

"You guys go search first, I'll be there soon."

The Royal Guards should leave in an orderly manner.
