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

Xiao Yunzheng gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and spoke faster: "Brother Yu received twenty strokes of the cane for the prime minister, and...he was afraid that the emperor would not agree, so he asked for an additional thirty strokes of the cane."

At this point, she was already filled with sorrow and distress. "I heard from my father that he was unconscious after being beaten with fifty sticks, and it was the Guards of the Imperial Guards who carried him back to the East Palace on a stretcher."

"The emperor was really afraid that someone would die, so he left the court in a hurry and secretly ordered my father to invite all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to the Eastern Palace and issued a death order that the prince's life must be saved, otherwise the entire Imperial Hospital would be buried with him."

Nian Susu's scalp tingled. Fifty strokes of the cane... Nian Chengyun was barely alive after only ten strokes of the cane. Qin Junyu was struck with fifty strokes. I wonder if he can make it through it, and how he can make it through it...

She clenched her fists and asked in a trembling voice, "Did General Xiao tell me what the emperor plans to do next?"

Depose the crown prince?

Depose the prime minister?

She was not sure how serious the matter was in the emperor's mind, so it was difficult to judge.

Xiao Yunzheng shook her head unhappily, "I didn't say..."

She suddenly remembered that Nian Chengyun was also punished, so she asked casually, "How is Prime Minister Nian? Although he was only beaten with ten sticks, he is old and weak, so it must not be easy for him."

Nian Susu sighed and repeated what the doctor said.

Xiao Yunzheng was glad that no one was hurt, but her mind was still full of Qin Junyu's situation. She urgently needed someone to share her feelings. She wanted to talk to Nian Susu about her worries, but she said she had something urgent to do and left in a hurry.

Xiao Yunzheng took the opportunity to visit Nian Chengyun, asked a few questions about the situation, and returned to the Xiao Mansion after knowing that the person was indeed fine.

In the end, I couldn't express my sorrow.

East Palace.

Nian Susu nervously approached the grand and solemn gate. There were four guards in golden armor guarding it, each of them was ready for battle.

Although this was her first time in the Eastern Palace, she knew that on ordinary days, there would not be so many people guarding the palace gate. He Jue's golden-armored guard was unusual and might be a member of the Imperial Guard or the Guards of the Dragon King.

When she saw those four people, she had already anticipated her own ending. It was impossible for the guards to let her in easily, especially given the current special circumstances.

She hid behind the stone lion and watched, not daring to count.

Suddenly, there was a voice coming from the palace gate, and then five or six imperial doctors came out carrying medicine boxes. All of them had serious expressions and faces as dark as water.

Nian Susu heard a few words sporadically, such as "no way out" and "broken bones"...

She vaguely guessed that Qin Junyu was seriously injured, and she was extremely anxious.

The team of doctors walked away...

Nian Susu felt that he should go forward and give it a try.

If this is Qin Junyu's man, then it will be easy. She only needs to meet Axuan once and she can go in.

If this is the emperor's man... then it would be very tricky, but she could take the opportunity to test the emperor's attitude towards the Eastern Palace. When she sees Qin Junyu, she could also tell him the situation outside.

Having made up his mind, Nian Susu straightened his clothes, and walked to the door with a nervous heart, pretending to be calm.

The golden-armored guards looked ferocious. Two of them held up their swords to block the entrance. "Stop!" One of them asked sternly, "Who are you?"

Nian Susu clenched his hands under his wide sleeves, and was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva. "I am from the Xiao Mansion. General Xiao is worried about the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he sent me to find out something."

The Prime Minister's Mansion and the Eastern Palace are now at the center of controversy. No matter who it is, no one dares to mention these two places at the same time. Her identity is sensitive, so she dare not tell the truth.

Under the name of General Xiao, he would go back and tell Xiao Yunzheng about the collusion, so at least they would not be exposed.

The guard's eyebrows twitched. He had indeed heard that the third young lady of the Xiao family was infatuated with the Crown Prince and had pursued him for many years without success, but she still refused to give up.

The woman in front of them was dressed simply, but her temperament was extraordinary. She was definitely not a maid. They immediately guessed that the person in front of them was the third daughter of the Xiao family.

The guard still had a stern face, but his tone was not as fierce as before. Instead, he said calmly: "The emperor has ordered that no one in the East Palace can leave without an imperial decree, and no one other than the East Palace can enter without an imperial decree!"

Nian Susu's anxious heart finally died.

The emperor has placed Qin Junyu under house arrest and sealed off the entire East Palace. It seems that she cannot get in by herself.

She didn't bother him anymore and turned away.

But she did not give up and was determined to enter the Eastern Palace.

Nian Susu was thinking about something with his head down, absent-mindedly, and did not notice the tall figure in front of him.

It was not until a pair of black boots with gold patterns came into her sight that she suddenly stopped and looked up in a daze. The person in front of her was only half an arm's length away from her.

What caught my eye was Qin Guanqing's charming phoenix eyes, which were very similar to Qin Junyu if I didn't look closely.

It is said that among the five brothers, the Fifth Prince's temperament is most like the Crown Prince, while the Second Prince's appearance is most like the Crown Prince, but the two brothers, one keeps strangers away, while the other welcomes everyone; one is cold as ice, while the other is passionate as fire.

Those who like the Crown Prince will definitely think that the Second Prince is a playboy, and those who like the Second Prince will definitely think that the Crown Prince is dull and boring. This is absolutely true.

Nian Susu took a few steps back, complaining in her heart. She didn't look at the road and didn't notice there was someone in front of her, but how come he clearly saw her, but not only didn't say anything to remind her, but also stood there waiting for her to bump into him.

Fortunately, I came to my senses in time and avoided a collision.

"Second Prince." She bowed unhappily.

Qin Guanqing suddenly laughed and said jokingly, "What's wrong, little fox? Why are you so resentful? I didn't provoke you, did I?"

Nian Susu was even more upset. His elder brother's life or death was unknown, and he still had the leisure to make a joke.

"Second Prince, I'm not in the mood to joke with you today. Goodbye."

She had a cold face and walked away from Qin Guanqing.

Unexpectedly, his arm was grabbed.

Qin Guanqing raised his eyebrows, "Hey! How come you can't even make a few jokes?"

Nian Susu glared at him. Before she got angry, Qin Guanqing let go of her hand and asked angrily, "Did you come from the East Palace?"

Her eyes moved slightly, she looked to the side, and said nothing.

"Are you worried about your big brother?" he asked again, with a firm tone.

She still didn't say anything, her face puffed up as if she was angry, but also as if she agreed.

When Qin Junyu was mentioned, he couldn't help but feel depressed. "I also heard about my elder brother's affairs. I was just about to go see him. I didn't expect to run into Miss Nian here."

Seeing that he still had some conscience, Nian Susu's expression eased a lot.

"The guards said that no one in the East Palace can leave without an imperial decree, and no one in the East Palace can enter without an order." She looked him up and down, "Is the Second Prince sure he can get in?"

Qin Guanqing's face immediately turned serious. He held his chin up, staring at something in the air, and said in a deeper voice, "House arrest... is it really that serious?"

When Nian Susu heard him say this, he felt even worse.

Even the prince couldn't do anything about it, let alone her.
