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

Nian Susu thought that she was also frightened by the rumors in the mansion. She didn't think much about it and comforted her with a few words. Then, without caring about Nian Qiaoyue, she went to the North Courtyard alone.

He walked very fast. Nian Qiaoyue shouted twice and took two steps forward but couldn't catch him.

Nian Qiaoyue was in a state of anxiety, and hesitated whether to go to Prince Ren to ask about the situation. After all, she had helped him with something a few days ago, and wondered if it had anything to do with Nian Chengyun's punishment this time...

She paced back and forth in the yard and finally ran out.

When Nian Susu rushed to the North Courtyard, he happened to meet Yang Yuerong and the doctor walking out.

The two were talking, and it was hard to hear clearly because of the distance, but the deep sadness on Yang Yuerong's face said it all.

She walked forward, and when Yang Yuerong saw her, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything and continued to listen to the doctor's instructions on what to pay attention to.

Nian Susu walked up to her side and didn't say anything, just listened quietly. After sending the doctor away and the mother and daughter walked back side by side, she asked, "Mother, what happened? I heard from the servants in the mansion that father was caned in public by the emperor? Why did that happen?"

Yang Yuerong sighed tiredly, "The people we sent to investigate haven't come back yet, so I don't know. Fortunately, your father only suffered skin injuries, not internal injuries. He will be able to recover after a few months of rest."

At this point, she did not feel happy or relieved at all. Instead, her eyes turned red. "I am old and have to endure such pain. Even if it is only a flesh wound, it will cost me half my life!"

Yang Yuerong had always been strong, never showing her vulnerable side in front of her daughter or servants, but at this moment she shed tears and cursed angrily, "It's better not to wear this damn red gauze hat! It would be best if the emperor got angry and stripped him of his official position, so that our family can return to the fields and farm honestly. Living a down-to-earth life is better than licking blood on the edge of a knife now!"

No matter how upset Nian Susu was, he couldn't help but say, "Mom, I dare not say such things."

In fact, this is not the first time Yang Yuerong has said this.

She is a woman who has been trapped in the compound for her entire life and has devoted herself to her husband and family. She doesn't understand what ambitions and prospects are, she just wants to have a home and live together with her family in peace and stability. That's enough.

However, Nian Chengyun was interested in the government, and the couple had always been at odds on this issue.

Now that such a big thing has happened, Yang Yuerong feels that her husband should have listened to her earlier and returned to the countryside, wouldn't there be fewer problems?

The two men entered the house, where two maids were guarding.

Nian Chengyun was lying on the bed. He had woken up, but was still in a bad condition.

He was breathing heavily, but each breath consumed a lot of his energy, and he barely managed to open his eyelids.

Yang Yuerong sat beside the bed and asked a few questions, but Nian Chengyun just told her not to worry, that the emperor had only punished him and his family would not be in trouble, so everyone in the mansion should be fine.

Yang Yuerong felt relieved and asked him why he was punished, but he refused to say.

"Why would a woman like you inquire about the affairs of the court?"

"All you need to know is that I will protect my family."

Nian Chengyun had a hard time saying those two sentences.

Yang Yuerong was so moved that she wiped away her tears again.

Nian Susu stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief, and only then did Nian Chengyun notice that his daughter was there too.

The old man was suddenly embarrassed that he was in such an embarrassing and shameful state and his daughter had actually witnessed it.

But on second thought, what dignity did he have now? He had worked so hard for so many years to maintain a bright and beautiful appearance, but it was all shattered with just a few words from the emperor.

He felt sad and sighed silently.

"Dad." For the first time, Nian Susu felt sympathy for this father with whom he had no feelings.

But she really didn't know how to comfort her because she had no idea what was going on.

"To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. The struggles in the court are treacherous and changeable. It is possible to be frustrated for a while. Don't worry too much. The most important thing right now is to take good care of your health."

Yang Yuerong also echoed, "Nothing is more important than your health. You should not go to court for the next few months. Stay at home and recuperate."

“This…” Nian Chengyun was about to refuse, but when he got excited, his wound was affected, causing him to swallow the rest of his words in pain. “Then… okay.”

Now that it has come to this, he can't go even if he wants to.

Nian Chengyun looked at Nian Susu and suddenly remembered something. His eyes moved slightly. He found an excuse to send Yang Yuerong away and asked the two maids to go out and guard.

Nian Susu was confused, "Dad, is there something wrong?"

She thought Nian Chengyun was going to tell her what happened today, but he said, "I can't write a letter like this. I can only ask you to dictate a few words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness?" Nian Susuxin asked, how could he be related to Qin Junyu? Would he also be...

When he thought of this possibility, Nian Susu's uneasy heart began to beat wildly again.

Nian Chengyun: "The first sentence is my fault. I feel bad for causing trouble for Your Highness. It's rare that Your Highness asks for mercy on my behalf. I am grateful and will come to thank you another day."

"Second sentence, the incident happened suddenly, and it is not clear where the omission occurred. Once it is found out, I will tell you one by one."

Write down each and every lodge in the year.

Through these words, she guessed something and also associated it with the construction of the city wall in Nanchu. Perhaps the problem occurred in this place.

She didn't ask her father what happened, but promised to pass on the message for him.

Without further ado, she said goodbye to her father and set off immediately.

The main reason was that she was too worried to worry. Nian Chengyun was a prime minister and yet he was punished with a stick in court, which was enough to show that the crime was not a small one. Although Qin Junyu was the crown prince, he was definitely not much better off.

As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Xiao Yunzheng coming towards me with an anxious look on his face.

"Lingling! Are you going out?" She called her from a distance.

Rushing over, she put her hands on her hips and asked breathlessly, "Do you know what happened?"

She nodded, "My father was brought here by the Guards of the Unicorns, so it's hard for me not to know."

Xiao Yunzheng felt very sorry and scratched his head.

"I heard from my father that the emperor thought that Brother Yu and the prime minister had a close personal relationship and that he was plotting treason, so he punished the prime minister with a cane."

She smacked her lips and shook her head. "I don't know what the emperor is thinking. He believes such nonsense! The prime minister and Brother Yu have done so much for him, but in the end they are still suspected. Where did the emperor hear these rumors? It's too much!"

She almost said the word "tyrant".

Nian Susu almost covered her mouth. It was really hard to tell what the other person said.

"What about His Highness? How will the Emperor punish him?" she asked anxiously.

Xiao Yunzheng's bright eyes suddenly dimmed. She didn't dare to look up at her, and stammered, "Originally, the emperor didn't say how to deal with Brother Yu, but..."

"But what?" Nian Susu was puzzled. When did Xiao Yunzheng become so hesitant in speaking?
