The Queen had heard about the deeds of Nian Qiaoyue's biological mother, but at this time she could only pretend not to know and asked her doubtfully: "The Second Miss Nian is also a daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could the Nian family owe her anything?" She had a meaningful smile on her face.

Nian Susu continued to act with her, telling her everything about how Xia Dingxiang became pregnant with Nian Qiaoyue and the environment in which Nian Qiaoyue grew up, but he omitted many details in the middle.

She knew very well that she and Nian Chengyun were one and the same outside, and they would prosper and suffer together, so she emphasized that Nian Chengyun was also a victim. If Xia Dingxia had not drugged him, he would not have done such a thing.

The Queen heard a lot of information from her that the spies didn't get, and she couldn't help but be surprised to find out that the twists and turns were so complicated.

"You can't choose your birth. Sister Qiaoyue did nothing wrong, but after all, what her biological mother did was so infuriating that my father and mother couldn't help but vent their anger on her, so they have neglected my sister for so many years."

"I've seen all the suffering my sister has gone through. I can't make decisions on major matters, so I can only protect her more in small matters like this."

After Nian Susu finished speaking, her eyes were still clear and bright. In the eyes of the queen, she was just a kind-hearted elder sister who protected her younger sister.

The queen was pleased and felt that he was worthy of her choice, with both appearance and character being top-notch.

Thinking of this...the Queen's eyes darkened, and she was ready to use this opportunity to talk about Qin Fengtian's marriage.

Nian Susu didn't know what she was about to face, and was still pleading for Nian Qiaoyue, "Please forgive my sister, my lady. I am willing to accept any punishment."

The queen laughed in silence, helped her up, and looked calculating, "It's not a big deal. You're talking like I'm going to do something to the Second Young Lady."

Nian Susu was unable to react for a moment. The queen had already taken her hand and sat down. She jumped up in fear and said in panic, "Your Majesty... this is against the rules."

The queen pushed her back and said, "It's okay. I have something to say to you."

Her intuition told her that these words were not good words...

[Beep! Beep! Beep! Friendly reminder, the host has one minute left. If you do not complete the task of taking the blame, you will be punished with electric shock after the 30-second countdown! ]

The sudden movement frightened her and she shivered. The queen thought she was frightened by herself and quickly comforted her: "Miss Nian, don't be nervous. It's not a serious matter. I just want to talk to you."

After hearing what the queen said, Nian Susu became even more frightened, but the life-threatening reminder sound kept vibrating in her mind and she couldn't calm down.

[Countdown 30 seconds, host, please complete the task as soon as possible! ]

[Countdown 29 seconds, host, please complete the task as soon as possible! ]

……

Nian Susu suppressed her discomfort and forced a smile, "Then sister Qiaoyue..." She hesitated, hoping that this exquisite lady could understand what she meant.

The queen understood and called in a palace maid, asking her to go to the prison to "invite" Nian Qiao Yue out and arrange for a carriage to send her back to the prime minister's residence.

The maid took her token and left.

Originally, there was only one little palace maid guarding outside the palace and not allowing anyone else to approach. Now that the little palace maid had gone to the prison to get someone out, only Yuzhu was left wandering outside the palace anxiously.

She was far away and couldn't hear what the people inside were saying. So much time had passed and Nian Susu didn't come out, and she was very worried.

The queen summoned a palace maid in, apparently to tell her to do something. Yuzhu finally couldn't hold back any longer, and while no one was around, she sneaked to the window in the corridor. Through the window paper, she could vaguely see two figures inside.

Nian Susu and the queen sat side by side on the couch. The queen held Nian Susu's hand affectionately, and they seemed to be very close.

Yuzhu was suspicious. When did the eldest lady become so close to the Queen?

Then the Queen asked, "Last time I asked Miss Nian about this, she said she needed some time to think about it. She hasn't given me an answer yet. Could it be that she forgot?"

Yuzhu saw that the queen was smiling, but she gave people a creepy feeling. Even though there was a layer of window paper between them, she couldn't help but shiver, not to mention Nian Susu who was sitting next to her.

Nian Susu’s back stiffened and the smile froze on his face.

What is supposed to come has come...

The Queen still hasn't given up the idea of ​​letting her marry Qin Fengtian. Today she wanted to plead for Nian Qiaoyue and save her life, but she didn't expect to get herself involved.

If she hadn't come today, perhaps she could have delayed it a little longer, until the Queen's birthday banquet at the end of June. Now that she has taken the initiative to come to her door, the Queen will not let go of such a good opportunity no matter what.

Besides, she had begged the Queen to let Nian Qiao Yue go, and she owed her a favor, so it would be difficult for her to refuse her flatly now.

Nian Susu frantically thought about countermeasures, "Your Majesty, you are joking. How could I forget? It is precisely because this matter is of great importance that we must be more cautious and think more deeply."

"What has the girl been thinking about these past few months?"

"It would be a blessing for me to marry Prince Qing. Of course I dare not refuse. But my father..."

"This is not difficult. As long as Miss Nian agrees, I will have a way."

Nian Su Su is in a dilemma, and even the luck of Nian Cheng is not working well. What should I do? How can I reject this marriage? Is it necessary to threaten to die like Li Yaoyuan did?

Although this idea came up on a whim, it's not impossible...

Li Yaoyuan escaped so successfully, why can't she? When the time comes, she will use a rope, a dummy, and a fire to make sure that no one is dead and there is no evidence. Then she will ask Xuanji to help her escape and live a carefree life in the mountains from now on.

She could go to Jiangnan to find Li Yaoyuan, and they could open a flower shop together. Just like before, they could sit in the small garden, compose poems, drink tea and admire the moon. Their lives would be so happy.

"I will give you one last month to consider it. I want to hear your accurate answer at my birthday party." The queen's ruthless voice brought her back to reality.

Only then did Nian Susu realize that he had been thinking too far ahead.

But the beautiful future she had imagined in her mind really made her excited.

She finally understood what it felt like to listen to Li Yaoyuan talking about a free and beautiful life when she was lying in bed, dying of illness.

It is like a downpour after a long drought, or a cool breeze after a hot summer, and the body that looks like a dead tree is injected with infinite vitality.

Nian Susu's heart was pounding with emotion, and he wished he could fake his own death right now.

When she walked out of Zhongcui Palace, those beautiful pictures were still in her mind, her steps were unsteady and her eyes were dull.

Yuzhu had a strange look on her face. She didn't notice that she was absent-minded all the way from Xizhimen back to the Xiangfu.

Yuzhu didn't dare to ask or speak. She waited until the carriage stopped and arrived at the gate of the prime minister's residence. When she helped the person off the carriage, she finally couldn't help asking: "Miss, how is the second young lady? Has she been rescued?"
