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

The guard weighed the silver in his hand and finally said, "Okay, hurry up."

The queen thanked him repeatedly.

The tent was filled with the smell of alcohol and it was terribly cold without a fire.

Qin Zehai sat on the floor leaning against the bed, with seven or eight empty wine jugs scattered around him.

He had his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was drunk or asleep.

When the queen spotted him, she ran over quickly.

He didn't care about the box that was used as a cover and just threw it aside.

Since Qin Zehai was sitting on the ground, she could only kneel on the ground to hug him.

Qin Zehai woke up in shock.

"Zehai..." Her voice was trembling with tears, and she stroked his back gently, "I'm so worried about you."

Qin Zehai recognized her, and his emotions turned from fear to calm. He slowly closed his eyes and hugged her back, "Second Mother."

The two hugged each other on the cold winter night, giving each other a little warmth.

At this time, everyone avoided him, and only Er Niang risked her head to comfort him. How could he not be moved?

Qin Zehai sobered up after being provoked by the queen. He suddenly remembered something and immediately pushed the queen away, asking worriedly, "Why would they let you in? Isn't this a trap? Is someone coming to arrest us soon? Second Mother! You...you hurry up and leave!"

He pushed the queen and asked her to leave.

After the blow he experienced during the day, he was now paranoid and always felt that someone wanted to harm him.

The queen burst into tears and hugged him tightly again, "Zehai, it's okay, it's okay, no one will come to arrest us."

Qin Zehai nodded in shock, "Okay...Okay, Second Mother, you have to protect yourself. I've been harmed by someone, you can't get into trouble again, otherwise what will happen to Tian'er?"

Queen: "I will. I know what to do. For our Tian'er, I will be careful. You can't give up, okay?

After a while, when the emperor has calmed down, I will instruct several ministers to write a joint letter to ask the emperor to reinstate you.

During the three months of confinement, you can just stay in the mansion, relax, and wait for my news, okay?"

This was the best solution she could think of.

Qin Zehai buried his head in her neck, hugged her waist lovingly, and nodded, "Okay."

The two talked for a while, and then the queen was about to leave.

Although Qin Zehai was reluctant, he let go of her hand for the queen's safety and sent her to the tent door.

The queen looked at him reluctantly and left resolutely.

Qin Zehai sat back on the bed in disappointment, his heart was empty, and the loneliness after the carnival hit him.

Er Niang's arrival gave him great comfort and hope to survive.

The queen lowered her head, avoided the patrolling guards, and walked towards her own camp.

She was always paying attention to the situation around her, but she didn't know that there were eyes watching her from behind.

After Concubine Ning met with Qin Junyu, she stayed alone for a while before leaving. On the way back, she passed by King Xian's tent and happened to see a palace maid with her face covered coming out.

The emperor has issued an order that no one is allowed to visit the virtuous king without his order. Who is so bold as to defy the order?

Concubine Ning was curious, so she followed the palace maid secretly, and unexpectedly she came to the Queen's tent.

The palace maid looked around to make sure there was no one around before she opened the tent door and went in.

Concubine Ning hid behind a wooden box and was not discovered.

She came out after the palace maid went in, and she complained in her heart: I didn't expect that he was the Queen's man.

But what is the Queen's purpose in sending someone to look for the virtuous king in the middle of the night?

Could it be that the Queen was also involved in what happened during the day, but it was not revealed?

When she thought of this possibility, Concubine Ning became very excited.

She had put in so much effort today but in the end the Queen was unharmed, and she was instead used to deal with the virtuous king. She was furious, but it was not too late to find out that the Queen was also involved in this matter.

With this in mind, she walked around and reached behind the window, secretly lifted a corner of the curtain, and found the palace maid sitting in front of the dressing table taking off her hair.

Concubine Ning felt something strange in her heart.

When her hair was all loosened and the maid stood up to change her clothes, Concubine Ning finally saw clearly that this was not a maid at all! It was the Queen herself!

The Queen secretly meets the virtuous king late at night!

Concubine Ning's mind went blank in an instant due to the shock of this thought.

If it was to deliver a message, there was no need for the queen to risk going in person. So there was only one possibility, the queen went to see the virtuous king on purpose.

Concubine Ning covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

If the two of them really had an affair, she would have to find evidence of their adultery first so that she could catch them all in one fell swoop. It would not be a good idea to alert them now.

Concubine Ning tiptoed away.

The next day.

The emperor took everyone out hunting again, leaving only the girls and a few teams of guards stationed in the camp.

The team escorting Qin Fengtian back to Beijing has not yet set off and is now waiting at the entrance of the camp.

Nian Qiaoyue packed her bags early in the morning and waited outside Nian Susu's tent. Just like the day when Ruru came, she had been waiting outside the east wing before dawn.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhihua called her in.

Nian Susu was dressed neatly and stood in front of the dressing table. She waved to Nian Qiaoyue at the door with a smile on her face.

That smile made Nian Qiaoyue's scalp tingle, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.

She handed the bag to Zhihua and walked over cautiously.

Nian Susu pushed her onto the stool and gave her an order in a tone that brooked no refusal: "Close your eyes."

Nian Qiaoyue was trembling with fear. She looked up to meet those sharp eyes, and her hair felt numb again.

She closed her eyes obediently.

Nian Susu used three brushes at the same time and swept Nian Qiaoyue's face.

Nian Qiaoyue could feel that her face was covered with thick powder, but she didn't think Nian Susu would be so kind as to help her put on makeup.

Just as he was about to open his eyes, he heard Nian Susu yelling angrily, “Don’t open your eyes!”

Nian Qiaoyue shuddered.

I’m not allowed to open my eyes, but I can still talk, right?

"Sister, what happened last night?" She twirled the corner of her clothes nervously. "I only remember dancing, and I don't remember anything that happened afterwards. I woke up in the tent this morning."

Nian Qiaoyue was nervous all morning, and after much thought, she decided to ask Nian Susu for an answer.

Nian Susu: "You are drunk."

"Ah?" Nian Qiaoyue's brows were furrowed, but after being brushed several times by Nian Susu, she had to relax her brows. "What is blackout?" she asked naively.

Nian Susu patiently explained to her, "You were drunk. You were so drunk that you don't remember what happened last night."

Nian Qiaoyue was skeptical, "But I didn't drink much..."

"You drank after you danced. The emperor watched you dance and thought it was so good. He praised you in front of everyone. You were so happy that you drank a few more glasses." Nian Susu talked nonsense seriously.

Nian Qiaoyue believed it and was so proud that she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. Nian Susu swept her away with the brush again.

"Okay, open your eyes." Nian Susu completed the last stroke and proudly looked at Nian Qiaoyue's face in the mirror. He was very satisfied with his work.
