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

June fifteenth.

Nian Susu was woken up early. Zhihua rummaged through boxes and picked out a pink lace skirt. She held it up high and showed it to her, "Miss, how about this one? Madam ordered someone to make it and send it to me three months ago. You thought the color was not good, so you never wore it. Today is your birthday, so why don't you wear this pink one?"

Nian Susu had no interest in anything, let alone dressing up, so he just let her do what she wanted.

Zhihua was so excited two days ago that she kept thinking about what color skirt she would wear, what kind of bun she would wear, and what kind of hairpin she would wear on her birthday...

Zhihua's original words were: "You only have one birthday a year, so of course you have to take it seriously!"

When she dressed Nian Susu, she blinked her starry eyes and asked expectantly what the plans were for the day, but Nian Susu suddenly couldn't bear to tell the truth.

Zhihua doesn't know yet that everything will be kept simple this year.

Seeing how excited she was, Nian Susu could guess how grand and lively her birthday party was last year, but this year... the circumstances were special.

"Zhihua, let's not go anywhere today and do nothing. How about just reading storybooks, drinking tea and telling jokes in the yard?" Nian Susu asked in a coaxing tone.

Zhihua's little face sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"Ah? Really?" she asked disappointedly.

Seeing her so disappointed and aggrieved, Nian Susu had no choice but to hold her hand and analyze the current situation and its seriousness.

After listening to this, Zhihua still felt empty in her heart, as if it was her and not Nian Susu who could not have a good birthday.

Although she was sad, Zhihua didn't want to affect the young lady's mood, so she didn't show it. She pretended to be sensible and accepted the result.

She had been expecting the lady to show some appreciation, but the young lady stayed in the yard all day and didn't go out, and the lady didn't come either. She only sent someone to deliver a birthday gift, and nothing else.

The sun sets and the day passes by.

Zhihua finally accepted this fact. She sat dejectedly on the corridor with Jingzhe, holding her chin in her hands and watching Nian Susu leave.

"Jingzhe, do you think the Madam has prepared some surprise in the front hall?" Zhihua suddenly felt hopeful again. She glanced at Jingzhe with shining eyes, trying to seek recognition, "Should we go and take a look?"

Jingzhe pouted, "Forget it, I've been there before, there's only a simple meal there. No surprises, nothing."

As if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, Zhi Hua's cheeks puffed up like a puffer fish.

lobby.

Only Yang Yuerong and Nian Susu were at the table. The dishes were almost the same as usual, but there were a few more signature dishes of Yuanlai Restaurant, which were all Nian Susu's favorites.

During the meal, Yang Yuerong kept picking up food for Nian Susu, as if this could make up for the guilt in her heart.

"Holding Lingling, I am sorry for you. I couldn't even give you a proper birthday."

"It's okay, mom." Nian Susu replied with a smile, "Birthdays happen every year, it doesn't matter this time, the overall situation is more important."

Yang Yuerong nodded with tears in her eyes.

She originally wanted to comfort her daughter, but unexpectedly her daughter ended up comforting her, which made her feel even worse.

The mother and daughter had a simple meal, and near the end, Nian Su asked to go to the night market and promised to go home in an hour. Yang Yuerong agreed without thinking, but with a condition - bring a few more guards with her.

Nian Susu agreed verbally, but when he actually went out, he didn't even bring Zhihua and Jingzhe with him and went out alone.

She walked onto the street, wandering aimlessly. She didn't actually want to buy anything or go anywhere. She just wanted to get some fresh air, so she didn't bring anyone with her.

She walked up to a small vendor making sugar figures and stopped.

"Girl, do you want to buy a sugar man? We can make the pattern you want for you, with writing and drawing on it." The stall owner greeted warmly.

Nian Susu stared at it for a while, with no idea in his mind, but blurted out: "I want one, can I write on it?"

The stall owner smiled happily, "Sure, sure! Of course! I can write any word you want! Three generations of my ancestors have been doing this, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

The stall owner heated up the syrup and stirred it with a small spoon. "What do you want to write?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Qin."

"Qin?!" The stall owner was startled and his face turned pale. He looked around hurriedly, as if afraid of being heard by others. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He leaned in closer and warned in a low voice: "Girl, you can't say that! This is the name of the current emperor. If anyone hears it, you will be beheaded!"

Nian Susu realized it belatedly and said, "Oh!" He explained, "Boss, you misunderstood. I was talking about the qin in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting."

The stall owner finally let go of his worries and smiled until his teeth were exposed. "Miss, you should have told me earlier. You scared me."

Nian Susu didn't say anything else. She waited quietly for him to finish writing the words, paid the money and left.

The word "qin" was written crookedly, and people who didn't know what it was would not be able to tell what it was. She took a bite helplessly and complained in her heart: I was wondering how ordinary people could learn to read, it turns out they are just copying.

After she had walked a few steps, she bumped into a man. The man ran so fast that she couldn't even see his face. Her shoulder was tilted by the impact and the candy man she was taking a bite of fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

She was already in a bad mood, and when she was bumped into like this, she immediately flew into a rage, ready to teach that blind guy a lesson.

But when they stopped the person, it turned out to be Xiao Yunzheng.

Xiao Yunzheng's eyes were red. Nian Susu thought she was bullied and asked about the situation. Xiao Yunzheng said that she was going to call a doctor because Cui Yuqing was dying.

Nian Susu's face darkened and he asked her to take him there.

The two of them hurried into Taihe Restaurant.

"Lingling, are you sure you can cure him?" Xiao Yunzheng led the way hurriedly.

Nian Susu looked at her back and didn't dare to speak.

Cui Yuqing was already in the advanced stage of the disease, and it was a miracle that he could survive until today. Not to mention calling in a doctor, even Hua Tuo and Bian Que could not save him.

The system's medicine has no effect on him. The only way is to go to the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death to change his fate. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.

This silence was her answer. Xiao Yunzheng stopped asking and gritted her teeth to prevent the tears from falling.

The two of them entered the last room on the fourth floor, and then entered the inner room through a secret door. A strong smell of Chinese medicine hit them in the face.

This is Nian Susu's second time here.

"Miss Xiao...is that you..." Cui Yuqing was breathing weakly, and a pale and thin hand stretched out from behind the curtain.

Xiao Yunzheng rushed to the bedside, held his hand, and tears fell, "Cui Yuqing, you are not allowed to die..."

Nian Susu walked behind Xiao Yunzheng and his eyes fell on Cui Yuqing.
