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

The Queen's intuition is not a good thing.

She gave a wink, and Nanny Li immediately understood. She waved her hand and led the servants in the hall to retreat to the outer room.

Layers of curtains and a huge floor-to-ceiling screen separate the inner and outer rooms into two worlds.

The Queen was used to using benzoin, but Concubine Ning couldn't get used to the smell. She waved her handkerchief under her nose in disdain, "Sister, why do you always use such dull spices in the palace? I feel sleepy just by smelling them."

"What do you want to ask, sister?" The queen was disdainful of arguing with her over trivial matters, and said straight to the point: "I still have a lot of official business to deal with, so I don't have time to chat with you, sister."

Concubine Ning was disdainful and pursed her lips.

"It's not a big deal." A sinister smile flashed across her face. "There are some things about Prince Xian... oh no, it should be Prince Ren. I still have some questions about Prince Ren's murder of the emperor that day, so I want to ask you for advice."

After Qin Zehai was stripped of his title of "Xian", people began to respectfully call him "Prince Ren" based on his courtesy name - Renli.

Concubine Ning brought it up deliberately, not forgetting to observe the Queen's reaction.

As she expected, the queen's face looked very ugly. She gritted her teeth with such force that her facial muscles almost trembled.

The queen tried her best to suppress her emotions, and after a moment she regained her composure. She said calmly, "Sister, you asked the wrong person. I don't know much about what happened that day. Sister should ask the emperor."

This is another trap. Who dares to mention Qin Zehai to the emperor at this critical juncture?

Of course Concubine Ning was not fooled. She was not seeking an answer, but just wanted to test the Queen's attitude towards Qin Zehai.

She was not completely sure whether the relationship between the Queen and Qin Zehai was not innocent, and was still in the speculation stage. After being asked this question today, she was more certain of her thoughts.

If the queen had nothing to hide, she should have asked her why she cared so much about Qin Zehai, thereby diverting the conflict, instead of using the emperor to pressure her.

Concubine Ning sneered, "Since you don't know, I won't bother you any more."

The Queen had no intention of keeping the guest.

When Concubine Ning left Zhongcui Palace, she happened to meet Qin Fengtian who came to pay his respects to the Queen.

Qin Fengtian was very wary of Concubine Ning because his mother had told him that Concubine Ning was insidious and ruthless and should never be provoked, let alone trusted.

The two met, and he bowed to Concubine Ning according to etiquette.

"Empress Ning."

Concubine Ning glanced at him calmly, "My Lord, are you here to pay your respects to the Queen again?"

Qin Fengtian straightened his back and lowered his hands, looking at her carefully, "Yes, if your majesty has nothing to do, I will go in first."

After saying that, he was about to walk inside.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Concubine Ning stopped him, "I just happen to have something to tell the prince."

Qin Fengtian asked: "What's the matter?"

Concubine Ning whispered mysteriously, "This is about your uncle, would you like to know?"

"think."

Concubine Ning pulled Qin Fengtian aside like she was coaxing a child, and after making sure that no one was around, she told him, "In my opinion, there was another reason why Prince Ren drugged the imperial horse that day.

If Prince Ren has an accomplice, and he reveals his accomplice, the Emperor will certainly give him a lighter sentence for his honesty."

She wanted to take this opportunity to trick Qin Fengtian and see if the Queen was involved in this matter.

After all, Qin Fengtian is a stupid guy, and he might blurt out everything in a fit of anger.

But she overlooked one thing - Qin Fengtian was a fool and didn't understand the hidden meaning of her words at all.

Qin Fengtian only heard the first half of the sentence and automatically blocked out the second half. There was another hidden story, which was that the emperor's uncle was actually wronged.

He was very emotional. "Empress Ning! Do you also think that the emperor's uncle was framed?"

Concubine Ning: "I want to ask you, do you know if Prince Ren met anyone that night?"

Qin Fengtian: "If the emperor's uncle is wronged, who wants to harm him?" He scratched his head.

Concubine Ning:......

I don't know what the queen feels about giving birth to such a stupid son. Just chatting with him for a few words, Concubine Ning felt that life was meaningless, not to mention how devastated the queen must be after raising him for more than 20 years.

Concubine Ning suddenly felt some sympathy for the Queen.

It seems that we can't get any information from Qin Fengtian.

Concubine Ning left without looking back.

The big fool Qin Fengtian was still scratching his head and thinking hard.

……

Early in the morning, Zhihua took Nian Susu out.

The streets were crowded with people, pouring towards the city gate like a tide, and almost all of them were there to welcome General Zhenyuan back to the capital.

The snow has stopped, the sun is shining and the weather is great.

Outside the city gate, Qin Junyu, wearing the crown prince's formal attire, stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. The guards behind him were maintaining order and preventing the people from crowding to the city gate to prevent the entrance from being blocked.

Qin Junyu had his back to them, as if he was indifferent to the world. The hustle and bustle behind him did not affect him at all.

Pushed and shoved by the Guards of the Unicorn, the common people squeezed to both sides, leaving the main road of Suzaku Street in the middle.

Nian Susu and Zhihua somehow got to the front row. People behind them kept trying to squeeze forward, but the Lin Guards in front of them held a wooden stick across their faces and shouted at them not to move forward.

Nian Susu was in a dilemma and could no longer endure it. He turned around and cursed, "Who wants to push forward again? Are you itching for a slap?"

The howl attracted a lot of attention. The ladies behind him blushed and dared not move forward.

But there was a little boy who was ignorant and kept pushing her.

Nian Susu looked down and slapped the child on the face without hesitation, "You naughty kid, push us again."

The lady was the child's mother. When she saw her son being beaten, and by a little girl at that, she couldn't stand it. She pulled her son back, rolled up her sleeves and was ready to hit back.

Nian Susu reacted very quickly. Before the old lady's slap could land, she slapped her in the face. "I was so busy teaching your son a lesson that I almost forgot about you." She squinted her eyes and smiled, but her smile was forced.

The old lady screamed "Ah" and was about to throw a tantrum, but the Hulin Guards immediately took her down.

Nian Susu was very proud and made a face at the old lady on purpose.

The old lady and the dead child were both taken away, and the others became much more obedient, staying away from Nian Su Su in silence.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one within two steps of her.

Zhihua admired, "Miss, you are really amazing. I was almost squeezed into a meat pie."

Nian Susu was furious, "People like this are just uncultured, and you have to be even more uncultured to deal with them."

The way that the guard looked at her was different, and one could vaguely see a hint of admiration in his eyes.

An hour later, there was finally movement outside the city.

Thousands of troops marched forward, and their momentum shook the entire Shengjing.

The city cheered loudly, and the people raised their hands and shouted: "General Zhenyuan! General!"

Through the four city gates, you can see General Xiao wearing armor, a short sword on his waist, riding a tall Xiliang horse and walking in the front, leading the army towards the city gate, looking very majestic.
