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

"Ah!" Nian Susu screamed in fright, his face turned pale and his limbs stiffened.

She stabbed the man just now, firstly to make him lose his ability to attack, and secondly to scare him away. Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but she also angered him.

Before she could think of a response, a cold mechanical voice sounded: [The system detects that the host is under a fatal threat, and the hidden ending *Death without a complete corpse* is about to be triggered]

It was this reminder that reminded her that she still had a system.

Nian Susu immediately opened his backpack and found a "Transformation Talisman" from a pile of props.

"go to hell!"

As the hoarse voice of the man behind him sounded, Nian Susu immediately felt something sharp pressing on his neck.

Between life and death, she clicked "Use Item".

A strong light flashed, and in just the blink of an eye, Nian Susu went from being passive to active.

She stood behind the man, pulling his hair with one hand and holding a dagger against his neck with the other.

There was already a blood mark on the cold dagger, and Nian Susu didn't know whether it was her blood or the man's blood.

The man was obviously confused as well. He lowered his eyes to look at his empty hands, and then he was startled to feel the cold blade against his neck. His back suddenly stiffened.

Nian Susu didn't dare to kill anyone, but now that things had come to this, she could only pretend to be calm and threatened in a calm voice:

"How dare you touch me? I move my fingers and you won't even know how you died."

Her chest heaved violently, but she still didn't dare to breathe heavily, for fear that this desperado would see through her flaw and kill her. Then she would be really dead.

The man was silent for a moment, as if he believed that she was a skilled martial artist and had swift movements, so she could seize the dagger and become the master in the blink of an eye. He slowed down his voice and said in a flattering tone, "Miss Nian, I... I know, it was my fault that I didn't recognize the great man, and I accidentally entered the prime minister's residence and almost hurt you, grandma. Please forgive me!"

Nian Susu didn't believe that he was really giving in, but he didn't dare to call for help openly, so he had to open his backpack to see if there were any props that could be used.

Just as she opened her backpack, there was a noise of tiles above her head. She cautiously put away her backpack and looked up.

Under the moonlight, a dark shadow crouched on the upper right, jumped down from the eaves, raised its leg in the air and kicked towards her.

The weight of the flesh hit the bluestone floor with a dull thud.

Nian Susu and the gangster both fell sideways. She felt dizzy, but she didn't dare to let go of the dagger in her hand. However, the gangster reacted quickly, rolled to his feet and ran towards the backyard.

Nian Susu fell so hard that she was in so much pain that she couldn't get up for a while, but she did see clearly who kicked her away.

When the man saw the criminal running away, he pretended to chase after him.

“Your Highness!” Nian Susu stopped the man and said, “Don’t chase him. That villain is familiar with the terrain of the Prime Minister’s Residence. You are a newcomer and it’s easy for him to be confused. Besides, he was stabbed by me, so he can’t get far.”

Qin Junyu looked at the direction where the criminals disappeared, feeling unwilling. He glanced at Nian Susu who was still half lying on the grass, sighed lightly, and reached out to pull her up.

Nian Susu stood up straight and brushed off the grass debris on her dress.

Qin Junyu took a few steps back and bowed to her solemnly, "I'm sorry, Miss Nian, I didn't see clearly just now, and thought you were held hostage by the bad guys, so..."

That's why I kicked her away...

Nian Susu smiled awkwardly and waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm fine, Your Highness, don't worry."

If Qin Junyu hadn't appeared, she really didn't know what to do. The props given by the system were indeed powerful, but they couldn't help her escape. When the criminals found out that she didn't know martial arts, her end would be miserable.

So the kick was worth it, it was just that the original owner's body was too fragile and she still felt pain all over.

Having said that, Qin Junyu still found it a little unbelievable. Thinking back to the scene just now, no one would believe that Nian Susu, a frail little girl, had captured a big and strong man alive.

He raised his eyes and looked at Nian Susu with a scrutinizing gaze, "Miss Nian, how did you subdue the bad guy just now? I saw that you didn't look like a martial artist, but I didn't expect you to be so... fierce." He curled the corners of his mouth.

Nian Susu scratched his head guiltily and smiled awkwardly, "Uh... just a little bit of kung fu."

Seeing that she didn't want to explain more, Qin Junyu didn't ask any more questions.

Under the bright moonlight, the two stood face to face, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

After Nian Susu came out of her panic, she remembered to ask him, "Why did His Highness appear in the Prime Minister's residence so late at night?"

Qin Junyu, a powerless prince, sneaked into the prime minister's residence late at night and appeared in the east wing of her, the eldest lady. It is hard not to suspect that he has ulterior motives.

Qin Junyu explained calmly, "The emperor ordered me to investigate a serial murder case, and I happened to find out that the murderer has been active near the prime minister's residence in recent days. Moreover, the murderer's time of committing crimes is very regular, and today is the time for him to act. I am worried that Miss Nian is in danger, so I sneaked into the prime minister's residence secretly. I have no ill intentions, please forgive me, Miss Nian."

After saying that, he nodded and bowed again.

Nian Susu joked, "You are quite polite."

She has read so many ancient Chinese novels, and the male protagonists in the books are always like lechers. It is not surprising for them to sneak into the heroine's bedroom late at night and hold hands and kiss before they are together. This Qin Junyu is so polite and knows his limits. Is it because he is not the male protagonist?

She was shocked. Qin Fengtian must be the lecher.

But his character is a dark creature that crawls in a twisted sewer! Nian Susu couldn't connect the Qin Junyu in front of him with the Qin Junyu in the book.

Qin Junyu was stunned for a moment. It was the first time someone described him like this, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Very strange and interesting use of words.

Nian Susu couldn't laugh, especially when she realized what Qin Junyu had just said about the "serial murder case", her face became even more serious.

It’s really scary to think that she stayed with such a vicious guy for so long!

"What is this serial murder case that Your Highness mentioned? Why haven't I heard anyone mention it before?" she asked puzzledly.

If so many people really died, the news should have spread throughout Shengjing, instead of being like it is now, where the people were killed at her doorstep and she still has no idea what is going on.

Qin Junyu integrated and briefly summarized the contents of the three memorials.

Hearing this, Nian Susu's scalp felt tingling and his hands and feet became cold.

No wonder the system gave her the ending of “death without an intact body”, that criminal was simply insane!

There were also three young ladies who were brutally murdered. I dare not imagine what kind of inhuman abuse they suffered before their death.

She couldn't help but imagine the bloody scene, and felt nauseous and scared.

Seeing her so scared, Qin Junyu felt a little guilty. Was his words too blunt?

After all, Nian Susu was a young lady who had been raised in seclusion. She had never heard of or seen such a thing. If he had chosen his words more carefully, perhaps he would not have scared her.

Nian Susu was afraid that he would apologize again, so he suppressed his emotions and said hurriedly:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm fine. I just can't accept it for the time being."

In order to ease the heavy atmosphere, she immediately smiled and teased Qin Junyu, "Your Highness was able to find out the murderer's movements and calculate the time of the murder in half a day. He doesn't seem to be a good-for-nothing as the rumors say."

Qin Junyu's eyes turned colder almost imperceptibly.
