No matter what Nian Chengyun thought, Nian Susu was the first one to disagree.

It's not that she likes Qin Junyu so much that she can't stand other women getting too close to him, nor is it that she hates Nian Qiaoyue so much that she opposes her everywhere. It's that Nian Qiaoyue is destined to be with Qin Fengtian, so why is she entangled with Qin Junyu now?

She has experienced the terrible consequences of the butterfly effect, so within the controllable range, she hopes that the plot will continue in the original direction.

"No!" Nian Susu took a step forward without hesitation and stood beside Nian Qiaoyue. His attitude was not as humble and flattering as the latter's, but rather full of dignified righteousness.

At this time, Qin Junyu also came back to the hall, walked up to Nian Chengyun, and looked at this lonely woman with him.

Although Nian Qiaoyue didn't say anything, she had already cursed Nian Susu in her heart. Every time her good things were ruined by Nian Susu! Thinking of everything that had happened before, she couldn't help but tighten the silk handkerchief in her hand.

"My sister is an unmarried girl, how can she live with a man outside her husband? It would be disrespectful if it gets out, and it will also bring bad reputation to Your Highness. Please think twice, father." Nian Susu's tone softened, not as aggressive as before, but his attitude was still firm.

Nian Chengyun also seemed to feel that something was wrong and nodded meaningfully.

Before he could make a decision, Nian Qiaoyue's tearful almond eyes slowly raised up and met his gaze, "Father and sister must think that Yue'er is of humble origin and unworthy of being with Your Highness."

She sobbed a few times, her shoulders trembling a few times, "Yue'er is not as good as her sister. She is the Madam's legitimate child and her beloved darling. Now that His Highness is visiting the Prime Minister's residence, Yue'er is naturally not qualified to receive the distinguished guest. Yue'er knows, and she will definitely not embarrass father."

After saying that, she turned to face Nian Susu and shed a few more tears, "Sister, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am truly thinking about the Xiangfu, so please don't be so suspicious, okay?"

Nian Susu's ears hurt after listening to it.

Nian Chengyun was also in a dilemma. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public, especially in front of the prince.

But if he didn't agree to Nian Qiaoyue's request, wouldn't he be just as she said, a heartless father who looked down on his illegitimate daughter? Nian Chengyun didn't want to lose face in front of Qin Junyu, a junior.

Nian Susu knew clearly that his father was leaning towards Nian Qiaoyue. Just as he was about to persuade him, a cold mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind: [Warning! The host must not refuse any request from Nian Qiaoyue! ]

So she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Nian Susu could only curse in his heart: What a stupid setting!

In Nian Qiaoyue's view, this was tacit agreement.

Qin Junyu had no objection, Nian Susu had no objection, and Nian Chengyun wanted to save face, so Qin Junyu's luggage was sent to the east room of the west wing.

Veteran general Qin Junyu was invited to one side for a private talk.

He leaned against the tree trunk and glanced in the direction of the west wing. Several servants from the prime minister's residence were coming in and out, preparing his daily necessities.

"What does Miss Nian want to ask?" Qin Junyu asked with great interest. Without pausing, he continued, "Let me guess. Miss Nian wants to ask why I want to live in the Prime Minister's Residence? Or why I agree to live in the West Wing?"

The Prime Minister's Mansion is the second largest house in Shengjing, with at least a dozen courtyards. There is no need for him to force himself to live in the same place with Nian Qiaoyue.

He was confident, but Nian Susu shook his head in response to his confident gaze, "I would like to ask Your Highness to secretly send someone to protect Sister Qiao Yue."

The words "Qiaoyue sister" came out of her mouth, and she almost felt sick to death. Nian Qiaoyue had established a good and sensible sister in front of outsiders, and she didn't want to be that evil sister.

Nian Susu observed Qin Junyu's reaction and saw that he looked calm, as if he was not surprised that she said that.

Qin Junyu hesitated for a moment, and instead of answering her, he asked, "Miss Nian, don't you want to know why I agreed to live in the West Wing?"

She shook her head without hesitation, "I have no right to question any decision made by Your Highness, let alone influence it. So what if I know, and what if I don't know?"

The answer was flawless and Qin Junyu couldn't find any fault with it, but he was inexplicably furious, with no place to vent and no relief.

He sneered, shook his sleeves and left.

The years are inexplicable.

Otherwise, everyone says that the one in the East Palace is cunning, weird, eccentric and evil. It seems that the rumors are true.

Qin Junyu had no idea that he had left such an impression on Nian Susu, and he walked into the west wing with a lot of anger.

There are four main houses in the west wing, east, west, south and north. He lives in the east house, and Nian Qiaoyue lives in the west house opposite. So as soon as he entered, he saw Nian Qiaoyue standing in front of the door, looking towards the gate with her neck raised. When she saw him, her eyes immediately flashed with light.

However, Nian Qiaoyue did not step forward to answer. After looking at him awkwardly for a few times, she turned around and went back to her room.

It happened that Ah Xuan came to report for something, and Qin Junyu was too lazy to think about what her meaningful look just now meant, so he took Ah Xuan into the east room.

"Your Highness, you asked me to investigate Jingzhe's background, and I have found the result." Axuan took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Qin Junyu took it but did not open it. Instead, he asked, "Is there any news from the Queen?"

A sneer flashed across Ah Falcon's face. "When the Queen knew that Your Highness had moved into the Prime Minister's Residence, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She sent people everywhere to inquire about the news, fearing that Your Highness would ruin her good deeds. She even spread the false news that Prince Qing and Miss Nian were going to get engaged to stabilize the morale of the army."

Qin Junyu also curled his lips in mockery and said in a cold voice: "She is so impatient. I thought she was so capable."

"Your Highness, you didn't fight with them in the past, so they took away all the power, which is why we are in this situation now." Ah Falcon couldn't help but say something presumptuous, "If you were willing to plan for yourself earlier, they wouldn't have a say."

His voice became lower and lower, for fear that Qin Junyu would punish him.

Qin Junyu did not regret the decision he had made. He slowly opened the envelope and said, "If I had entered politics earlier, I might have died sooner."

He glanced at Ah Falcon and said, "Do you think the Queen will tolerate me taking the position of Crown Prince? The reason why she has not asked the court officials to force the Emperor to appoint a crown prince is because Prince Qing is not qualified to take this position now. By keeping a useless Crown Prince like me, she can pave the way for Prince Qing with peace of mind."

Once the Queen finds out that he is a threat to Prince Qing, even if she is not absolutely sure, she will definitely do her best to push him down. There are many princes in the court, and any one of them can be a stepping stone for Qin Fengtian, not just Qin Junyu.

He said it calmly, but it gave Axuan goosebumps all over his body.

Qin Junyu read the contents of the letter without changing his expression and had a general understanding of Jingzhe's life experience.
