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

"You...you..." She spoke incoherently and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

The man was not in a hurry. He stared at her with interest, as if he was gazing at his prey, his eyes full of meaning.

Nian Qiaoyue racked her brains but could not figure out why the virtuous king would break into the west wing in the middle of the night.

"Xian..." She choked, remembering that King Xian was no longer King Xian, but Prince Ren.

The events that led to this change were extremely sensitive, involving the murder of the emperor and fratricide within the royal family, and no one dared to mention it easily.

She almost called the wrong name and her face turned pale with fright.

"Prince Ren is visiting you late at night, is there something wrong?" Nian Qiaoyue asked. Although she was a frightened victim, she had to greet him with a flattering smile.

Although Prince Ren was under house arrest for three months and had a rift with the emperor, he had now been reinstated and was the emperor's younger brother anyway, so she could not and dared not offend him.

Qin Zehai smiled treacherously, "You seem to be very hostile to Miss Nian?"

There is something hidden in this question.

Nian Qiaoyue's heart tightened, knowing that he was referring to the time when she pushed Nian Susu out to block the sword at the critical moment.

This kind of thinking is dark and vicious.

Nian Qiaoyue didn't want anyone to look down on her, nor did she want others to know that her heart was so terrible. Being stared at by Qin Zehai with such a probing look, she felt ashamed and angry.

She forced a smile, "Prince Ren, you are joking. I just wanted to get you out of the way so that I could ask for help. I didn't mean to drag my sister into this."

"My sister and I have a deep relationship, how could I harm her?" She felt more and more guilty as she spoke.

Qin Zehai made no secret of his sarcasm, "Miss Nian, since I came here, I have done my homework. You don't have to be hypocritical with me."

The grudges between Nian Susu and Nian Qiaoyue are actually very easy to figure out. After all, Nian Qiaoyue admitted in front of everyone at the Xiao family that she wanted to ruin Nian Susu's reputation.

Qin Zehai sneered at this expression, but it also made him feel that his trip was not in vain.

Nian Qiaoyue is selfish, ambitious, ruthless, and knows what she wants best.

Once a person has desires, it is easy to control them.

Nian Qiaoyue clutched the quilt tightly and didn't dare to look at him.

It was really weird for the two of them to talk about cooperation in this posture. Qin Zehai stood up to get the lamp oil and light up the room. Nian Qiaoyue had already put on a cloak and wrapped herself up. She walked silently behind him like a ghost.

Nian Qiaoyue felt a little more secure, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually faded away, leaving more doubts.

She understood that Qin Zehai had no ill will towards her and must have other purposes for coming here. Since he mentioned Nian Susu, it might be related to her.

Qin Zehai put down the oil lamp and turned around. He was startled by Nian Qiaoyue, but he didn't react much. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled at her: "Even if Miss Nian is angry, you don't have to retaliate against me like this, right?"

Nian Qiaoyue couldn't laugh. She stepped back and said calmly, "Prince Ren, please speak frankly. It is inappropriate for us to meet like this. I hope Your Majesty will be kind enough to consider our respective reputations and not stay too long."

Qin Zehai heard the resentment in her tone and shrugged indifferently. There was not even a ghost in the west wing, so no one would notice him even if he stood at the door until dawn.

He thought so in his mind but did not refute it. It just so happened that he also wanted to end it quickly.

Qin Zehai pulled a stool and sat down, crossing his legs leisurely, "I want to make a deal with Miss Nian Er. Oh no... I want to cooperate with Miss Nian Er for a win-win situation. I wonder if there is such an opportunity?"

Nian Qiaoyue frowned.

As a prince, what does he need an unfavored concubine like her for? She has no power and influence, and can't even say a word to Nian Chengyun. If Prince Ren wants her to persuade Nian Chengyun to submit to Prince Qing, it is impossible.

But besides this, what else...

Qin Zehai: "Miss Nian, don't worry. All I want you to do is monitor Prime Minister Nian and Miss Nian's every move, and report any situation to me in time. That's all. You don't even need to use your brain or any effort. It's such an easy job."

Nian Qiaoyue suddenly realized that he wanted an informant who could help him monitor the Prime Minister's residence. It was too risky to send a servant to sneak in, as there was a risk of being expelled from the residence at any time, and the people under him would have no chance to contact Nian Chengyun and Nian Susu.

Her identity is just right.

So it seems that Qin Zehai needs her.

Nian Qiaoyue's attitude was much more arrogant. She lowered her gaze and said softly, "It's not difficult to monitor the two of them, but the risk is too great. Once discovered, given my father's temper, he will definitely cut off ties with me and drive me out of the house."

"And Yang Yuerong...she would rather I die than let go of such a good opportunity."

She sighed, curled her lips and smiled, showing her calculation: "I am betting my future and destiny. If Prince Ren can't come up with something of equal value, won't it be a big loss for me to make this deal?"

Once her true nature was exposed, she was no longer the weak and pitiful little rabbit, but a cunning fox.

Talking about this, Qin Zehai still kept smiling. He liked doing business with such people, who were unwilling to suffer any loss and only cared about interests. Only interests were the most reliable cooperative relationship.

"How about the position of the Third Royal Concubine?" Qin Zehai's eyes became deep and he stared at her straightly. His abyss-like black eyes were like a whirlpool that wanted to suck her in.

It's tempting, but it's full of unknown dangers.

Nian Qiaoyue choked and did not answer immediately.

She knew that Prince Ren had a close relationship with Qin Fengtian, and he really had the ability to make her the third imperial consort, but it was hard to say whether he was sincere.

She and Qin Fengtian had not seen each other for three months, and Qin Fengtian had never taken the initiative to look for her. She had already given up the idea of ​​fighting for the position of concubine, and the arrival of Qin Zehai undoubtedly rekindled her desire.

Qin Zehai added: "Miss Nian Er knows very well what my ultimate goal is."

Nian Qiaoyue's eyes flashed. When it came to state affairs, she didn't know whether she should say more.

It is no secret that Qin Zehai supports Qin Fengtian and wants him to be the crown prince.

"If you can help me and Tian'er succeed, then your identity will no longer be an ordinary concubine of the Third Emperor."

An unattainable thought flashed through Nian Qiaoyue's mind. It was a place she had never dared to think about...

"But..." Qin Zehai stood up, leaned close to her ear, and said slowly: "The queen who rules the country."

She closed her eyes instantly, and it felt like an electric current was running through her body.

She was both excited and scared. People always have expectations and fears about unknown things.

She never dared to think about becoming the queen.

Nian Qiaoyue took a few deep breaths, and when she opened her eyes again, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists and looked at Qin Ze firmly, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you!"
