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

He said nothing more.

Nian Susu opened the window and looked outside. The cold wind blew in and made her squint.

It was very quiet outside, with no movement at all.

She was a little anxious, but more worried, "Your Highness, are you sure that someone from Li Qingyuan will come to take you back?"

She remembered Zhihua's pale face when she came back today, and she felt a little resentful towards Qin Junyu.

What kind of place is Li Qingyuan? When I knocked on the door, no one answered. Instead, they wanted to kidnap me and threaten me.

If Zhihua hadn't been smart, what she would have seen was a corpse.

"Yes." He uttered the two words with great difficulty.

The people living in Li Qingyuan were his loyal followers, who knew his dual identity and must have known what happened at the competition.

I will definitely come over after receiving his letter.

Judging from Nian Su Su's experience, that person might not believe Zhi Hua, and the letter also became suspicious.

If they didn't come, wouldn't Qin Junyu have to stay here for another night?

Thinking of the blushing scene last night, Nian Susu felt uncomfortable. He put down the book and poured himself a cup of tea.

Suddenly seeing the jade bracelet on her wrist, she paused. She had been worried about Qin Junyu today and forgot to take it off.

She sat down and started pulling it out without caring whether Qin Junyu saw it or not.

With resentment, she tried very hard.

Even until his handle was rubbed red, he still couldn't take the bracelet off.

What's going on? I could easily put it on and take it off a few days ago, but today I can't pull it off no matter how hard I try.

Although Qin Junyu was weak, he was not unconscious. Hearing the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other, he looked over and saw that she was anxious and her eyes were red, and she was trying hard to take off the bracelet on her hand.

"Ahem...what's wrong?" he asked.

Nian Susu felt guilty but didn't show it on his face. He said in a sarcastic tone, "The bracelet your highness gave me is too valuable. I'm afraid it might get damaged. It's better to keep it."

Qin Junyu was a little depressed. "It's just a bracelet. It doesn't matter if it's broken. Just wear it if you like it."

That day on the city wall, she joyfully reached out to me and asked me to help her put it on. But two days later, she wanted to take it off as if she was disgusted.

Qin Junyu didn't know what he had done wrong, nor did he know what was wrong with the bracelet.

Nian Susu was still angry and liked to say the opposite of what he meant. The words "I don't like" were already on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't bear to hurt his feelings, so she moved her lips and finally didn't say anything.

"Come here." His tone was gentle, and he seemed to be coaxing her.

Nian Susu reluctantly sat down beside the bed.

"What's wrong?" he asked again, this time his tone was much softer than before.

She nodded and lowered her eyes, turning the bracelet around and around, wondering whether she should ask him if he knew what giving him the bracelet meant.

Another question is, where exactly is Liqingyuan?

"I will tell you everything you want to know."

Hearing this, she looked up in surprise.

Their eyes met.

His eyes were clear and his attitude was sincere. He looked at her quietly with a smile on his lips.

She thought for a long time before she spoke: "Your Highness...why did you give me the bracelet?"

Qin Junyu's smile froze almost imperceptibly.

Doubts arose in her mind - did she not know what it meant for a man to give a woman a bracelet? Or did she know but wanted to test her feelings?

If she really didn't know, was it too abrupt for me to do this?

Giving her such a suggestive gift without her knowledge, how is this different from bullying?

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

He lowered his eyes, not daring to look into her eyes again.

"Why do you think that is, Miss Nian?"

"Your Highness said just a second ago that you would tell me everything I want to know. Does that mean it doesn't count now?"

"Of course not. I just want to know what this bracelet means to the girl."

"The bracelet was given by His Highness. Only His Highness can tell what it means. Why should I try to figure it out in secret?"

The two of them tried and tried, but neither of them got the answer they wanted.

Nian Susu was very frustrated and tried to take off the bracelet again.

Qin Junyu sighed, looking helpless and disappointed.

It’s better this way. Since she doesn’t know my feelings, it’s better for her not to wear the bracelet.

Sooner or later, he would make her wear it willingly.

She gritted her teeth, determined to pull it out.

Suddenly, five slender fingers came over to hold hers. His hand was cold, but her wrist was warm. The sudden chill made her subconsciously retract her hand.

The bony hands moved extremely quickly, holding her tightly to prevent her from retreating.

After adjusting to his temperature, she stopped struggling.

The temperature of the two people was transmitted to each other, one ice and one fire, and both of them trembled at the same time.

Qin Junyu suppressed his emotions and turned the bracelet around, as if trying to find the right angle.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was serious, as if he was doing something very important.

Nian Susu's eyes fell on his hands. From time to time, she would look up at him, then quickly drop them, her cheeks slightly hot.

Finally finding the right position, he took the bracelet off easily.

"All right."

Only then did Nian Susu realize that the bracelet was not round but oval, and the reason she couldn't take it off was because the angle was wrong.

After putting the bracelet away, footsteps were heard outside the room.

Then someone knocked on the door, in the rhythm of four, three, five, four, one.

Qin Junyu narrowed his eyes and exchanged glances with Nian Susu, confirming that it was his people who came.

Nian Susu was caught off guard and opened the door directly.

Just as she opened the door a crack, it was kicked open from the outside. She was pushed back with the force, her lower back hitting the stone table, and she burst into tears in pain.

But before she could recover, an ice-cold dagger was placed across her neck, and just one millimeter lower, killing her throat.

Nian Susu was terrified. Isn't this Qin Junyu's man? Why did he come up with knives and guns?

The man holding her with a knife had a mask on his face.

When Zhihua described it to her, the person who kidnapped her was also like this, so it seemed that he was Li Qingyuan's man.

"You bold and vicious woman! How dare you hold His Highness hostage! You deserve to have several heads chopped off!" Qingyu said gritting her teeth.

Just as he finished speaking, a man coughed from behind the screen.

Several masked men in black rushed in with murderous intent, each holding a sword and ready for battle.

After looking around the room, they saw that only Nian Susu was there, and they exchanged puzzled looks.

If His Highness was held hostage, how could there be only a weak woman who could not even tie a chicken?

Could it be that His Highness is not here? Is all this just to lure them over so that they can be caught in one fell swoop?

Soon, they turned their attention to the bed behind the screen.

There is a carved floor-standing screen, and through the gap you can vaguely see a person on the bed.

They approached cautiously.

Qingyu narrowed his eyes and gave them a look. One of them kicked the screen down and several others drew their swords and rushed forward.

"Cough cough cough..." Qin Junyu supported himself on the bed and sat up with difficulty.

His men were coming at him with swords.
