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

The host had been beaten unconscious, but Li Yaoyuan still didn't dare to look over there. She only felt nauseous and scared, and buried her head in Nian Susu's neck and cried.

Suddenly, there was a burst of talking outside the door. It was the voices of several women, mixed together and it was impossible to tell who was talking to whom.

Qin Junyu was guarding the door. He was a little surprised to see the visitor, but he did not show it on his face.

Judging from their positions, Nian Qiaoyue was the leader. She walked at the front, followed by Xin Jieyu, and then Xiao Yunzheng and Wang Yuejiao.

"My queen, Miss Li is staying in the side hall. I just saw His Highness, Young Master Xiao, and my sister go in together. Now they haven't come out. I think something must have happened."

"The Queen is the one who brought us here. She should be the one to make the decision if there is any problem. Sister didn't say a word and didn't even send someone to pass on the message. It's obvious that she doesn't take the Queen seriously!"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Xin Jieyu's eyes, but she did not respond and continued walking forward.

Xiao Yunzheng couldn't stand it any longer. She didn't care that Concubine Xin was still there. She shouted at Nian Qiaoyue: "How did you know something happened? Could it be that you are the mastermind behind this? Not only did you harm Miss Li, but you also want to accuse Miss Nian in front of the Empress! What exactly is your purpose!"

Nian Qiaoyue was terrified. "Miss Xiao, don't say such things. I was just guessing. I didn't say what really happened. How can I be the mastermind behind it? There is no reason for people to misunderstand me."

Xiao Yunzheng snorted coldly, "You are also afraid of being misunderstood, then why didn't you think about being afraid of others misunderstanding you when you casually made up rumors about others?"

She sneered at Nian Qiao Yue.

Nian Qiaoyue turned her head and talked to Xiao Yunzheng, and did not notice Qin Junyu leaning against the door frame.

But Xin Jieyu was sharp-eyed and saw him first.

She said slowly: "His Highness is here, why don't you ask Miss Nian in person?" There was a hint of gloating in her tone.

Qin Junyu is the crown prince, and her son is close to him, so Concubine Xin naturally does not want to offend him.

As for what kind of intention Nian Qiaoyue had in deliberately slandering Nian Susu in front of her, she knew it very clearly and despised this second girl Nian.

Nian Qiaoyue turned around and saw Qin Junyu. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She felt uneasy: Did he hear all the bad things she said about Nian Susu? He was close to Nian Susu, would he take revenge on her?

She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She dared not say another word and silently took a few steps back, retreating behind Xin Jieyu.

When Xiao Yunzheng saw Qin Junyu, she quickly ran forward.

She asked worriedly, "Brother Yu, what's going on?"

Although she argued with Nian Qiaoyue, she felt guilty and always felt that something must have happened, otherwise the three of them would not have searched for so long.

Qin Junyu's face was heavy, "Something happened, it's a bit tricky."

He didn't say what the matter was, and Xiao Yunzheng was so anxious that she picked up her skirt and rushed in. He reached out to stop her but failed.

A few more people came up to him, and he had no choice but to deal with them.

When Nian Qiaoyue saw Xiao Yunzheng go in, she stretched her neck to look inside, ready to make a move.

"Your Highness, I heard that Master Xiao and several girls are in there. What happened?" Concubine Xin asked with a smile.

Wang Yuejiao agreed, "Yes, Your Highness, what happened in there? I heard that the host is also in there." She looked so excited that she didn't show any worry at all, but rather seemed to be gloating.

Qin Junyu's expression was normal, as usual, he stepped aside to make way for her, and made a "please" gesture, "Your Majesty, please come in."

Just as Nian Qiaoyue said, several girls were ordered by the emperor to come with Concubine Xin to pray for blessings. If anything happens, she should be informed. Although she is not required to make the decision, she has the right to know.

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to her, and the emperor would be unhappy if he knew.

Concubine Xin suppressed her doubts and went into the side hall.

Nian Qiaoyue and Wang Yuejiao also wanted to go in, but were stopped by Qin Junyu.

"Ladies, please stop." He had a stern face, raised his chin slightly and looked into the distance, unkind and extremely indifferent.

Nian Qiaoyue wanted to say that her ideals could not be expressed. His expression was clearly directed at them. It would not work to reason with him. He was the prince, so he was the only one who could oppress others. Why shouldn't others complain?

But even if they couldn't get in, they could vaguely hear some noises behind a screen.

The two men stretched their necks and pricked up their ears. Their bodies remained in the same place, but their heads had already entered the door.

When Xin Jieyu walked over the screen, she saw the room in a mess.

Li Yaoyuan was wrapped tightly in the man's outer robe. She leaned on Nian Susu's shoulder and cried until her eyes were swollen and her tears were almost dry.

Xiao Jianting stood beside the couch, glaring.

Not far from the couch, the host, who was only wearing a pair of underwear, was being punched and kicked by Xiao Yunzheng.

Sitting under his butt was a wrinkled bright red cassock.

"You shameless old bastard! How dare you do such a despicable thing in front of the Buddha! Do you deserve this skin?"

Xiao Yunzheng kept beating and scolding him, but still felt unsatisfied, so she kicked him hard in the lower body a few more times. The host's eyes rolled back and he fainted from the pain. Only then did she stop and put her hands on her hips, gasping for breath.

Xin Jieyu looked slightly disgusted. She had never expected that the host who usually chanted sutras and worshipped Buddha and whom she admired would be such a person! How hateful!

She glanced at the host lying on the ground, then went towards Li Yaoyuan.

She had a rough idea of ​​the current situation. While her faith was collapsing, she had to pretend to be calm and stabilize the situation.

"Miss Li, I know you have been wronged." Concubine Xin caressed Li Yaoyuan's back lovingly, her eyes full of true affection.

As a woman, she naturally knew what chastity meant to a woman. Li Yaoyuan was a lady from a famous family, gentle and virtuous, sensible and understanding. She liked her very much, and now that something like this had happened to her, she felt both pitiful and regretful.

Nian Susu lowered her eyes. Some of the words she said might hurt Li Yaoyuan, but she was more afraid that rumors would drown her in the future. It was best to make it clear now.

She said casually, "Fortunately we arrived in time and failed to let that old man succeed. Otherwise, even if I crashed my head into the ground and died in front of the Buddha, it would not be enough to express the regret in my heart!"

Xin Jieyu's eyes flickered and she understood what she meant.

As for whether Li Yaoyuan was still innocent... she didn't dare to ask, but Nian Susu obviously wanted to call the host but failed, and Li Yaoyuan was not harmed.

It was just a matter of a few words, so she was naturally willing to protect a woman's reputation.

She nodded, "Miss Li is blessed with great fortune, so she will be safe and sound."

Nian Susu felt a little relieved.

Qin Junyu is a man, so it is not easy for him to come forward to preside over the matter. Although he is most likely the one who makes the decision, he has to speak through Concubine Xin.

If we can deal with Xin Jieyu, the situation won't be too bad.

However...she underestimated the power of rumors, and even more so the viciousness of those with ulterior motives.
