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

Since returning from the palace on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Nian Qiaoyue fell ill. No one knew whether she was really sick or just pretending. Anyway, Yang Yuerong thought she was pretending. For three consecutive days, she went to the west wing, stood outside Nian Qiaoyue's door with her hands on her hips, and scolded her in a full-throated voice, saying all the nasty things.

She said that since Nian Qiaoyue did such a dirty thing, people would also be contaminated by unclean things, and she was exorcising evil spirits.

But no matter how Yang Yuerong scolded her, Nian Qiaoyue never said a word, and the door was never opened.

The emperor only gave ten days. On the fourth day, Yang Yuerong was extremely anxious and wanted to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible and sell her to a brothel early. She had no choice but to hire a doctor for Nian Qiaoyue.

But Nian Qiao Yue still kept the door closed and refused to see anyone.

She cried and shouted through the window to drive them away: "I don't want to go to a brothel! I would rather die than be a prostitute! Wuuuuuu... I don't want to!"

Yang Yuerong thought about forcing her several times, but she was afraid of forcing Nian Qiaoyue to death, as they would be disobeying her order.

The emperor made it clear that he would expel Nian Qiaoyue from the family tree, demote them to slavery, sell them to a brothel, and never allow them to be redeemed.

Therefore, Nian Qiaoyue cannot die, and even if she dies, she must die in a brothel.

The sound of a woman crying miserably could often be heard in the West Wing in the middle of the night, which frightened the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion so much that they dared not approach.

By the sixth day, Nian Qiaoyue still refused to surrender.

As soon as Nian Susu heard it, he knew that she was deliberately delaying time, because the next year Qiao Yue had bought a secret medicine to help her conceive in Huiyan City. Maybe she could really succeed in getting pregnant with Qin Fengtian's child.

If this is true, then she will most likely not have to go to the brothel, but her fate will not be any better. The emperor hates her so much that it is possible that he will kill the mother and keep the son. By then, Nian Qiaoyue will end up losing more than she gains.

It just so happened that she knew a little about medicine, so instead of sitting and waiting for news, she might as well go and find out the truth first.

Nian Susu set out for the West Wing, but unexpectedly met Nian Chengyun on the way.

Nian Chengdong was wearing his official uniform and hat, and it seemed that he had just returned from court.

He called Nian Susu and said, "It's just right, Lingling, Dad has something to tell you. Come with Dad to the study."

Nian Susu glanced in the direction of the west wing, and finally followed Nian Chengyun away.

Nian Chengyun took off his official hat and walked towards the clothes rack. Nian Susu did not go in. After all, she still had to go to the west wing, and she had to leave after listening to what Nian Chengyun had to say.

"Prince Qing's condition is not good. He has had a fever for six or seven days and the fever has not subsided. His wound has become ulcerated and inflamed because he has been delayed for too long... Even if he recovers, he will still have a chronic illness." Nian Chengyun's tone was unexpectedly emotional.

"The Empress knelt in front of the Zhongcui Palace for a whole day and night. The Emperor refused to see her and did not agree to her meeting Prince Qing. The Empress was filled with grief and anger and fell ill overnight."

Nian Chengyun put his official hat on the clothes rack, walked to the coffee table, lifted his robe and sat down, leisurely making tea.

Nian Susu sighed, walked over, and knelt down opposite his father with a dark look in his eyes.

Nian Chengyun continued, "Qiaoyue still refuses to leave. She probably thinks that the Queen and Prince Qing will save her. But they are both in trouble now, so how could they offend the Emperor because of her?"

"Even if the Queen was not under house arrest and Prince Qing was not sick, they would not care about her life or death." Nian Susu said coldly.

Maybe the Queen was hoping that Nian Qiaoyue would be sold to a brothel, so that Qin Fengtian's "good deeds" would also be brought into that dirty place. After all, no one dared to talk about the prince and a prostitute together.

Nian Susu took a sip of the tea brewed by her father and suddenly understood what his father meant - Nian Chengyun wanted her to persuade Nian Qiaoyue.

But there is one thing he said that is not accurate.

Nian Qiaoyue might have been hoping for a lucky break, expecting Qin Fengtian to come and rescue her, but her main purpose in delaying time was still to rely on her own belly.

If you get pregnant, you'll have a chance of survival.

If I don’t get pregnant, the worst that can happen is that I’ll die.

So, is Qin Fengtian important to Nian Qiaoyue? Nian Susu didn't dare to say for sure, but she would get the answer soon.

"My daughter understands what Dad means."

"But my daughter can't guarantee that she will listen."

Nian Qiaoyue hated her to the core, so how could she listen to her advice?

The most she could do was to break down Nian Qiaoyue's defenses, break down her psychological defenses, and perhaps make her figure it out and accept this fact.

Nian Susu came out of the study and walked towards the west wing.

In early autumn, the leaves have gradually turned yellow. The trees in the West Wing Courtyard were already malnourished, with sparse branches and leaves. Now there are only a few yellow leaves left, swaying lonely in the wind, making the trees look even more desolate.

There was no one in the yard and Nian Qiaoyue's door was closed.

Nian Susu went forward and knocked on the door, but no one responded. He knocked three times in a row, and suddenly a heart-wrenching curse came from inside: "I will not surrender! Just give up on this idea!"

Nian Susu listened to her scolding expressionlessly and ordered, "Nian Qiaoyue, open the door."

It suddenly became quiet inside.

Nian Susu gave her enough time to think about it, but Nian Qiaoyue did not respond to her, so she had to use her trump card: "Prince Qing has had a high fever for six or seven days and is dying. You are not still counting on him to save you, are you?"

The door was opened from the inside the next second.

Nian Qiaoyue's hair was disheveled and her eyes were bloodshot as she questioned her, "What did you say?! What happened to the prince?"

Nian Susu curled the corners of his mouth and smiled. It seemed that Qin Fengtian held a very important position in Nian Qiaoyue's heart.

She poked Nian Qiaoyue's shoulder with her finger in disgust and pushed her in. She also stepped over the threshold and closed the door with her backhand.

"No hurry, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Nian Qiaoyue took a few steps back guiltily, "I have nothing to say to you."

"Oh? So you don't want to know about Prince Qing's affairs?"

"you!"

Nian Qiaoyue was furious and glared.

Nian Susu poured cold water on her head: "No matter what happens to Prince Qing, it has nothing to do with you. You are a fancy person, why are you so unrealistic?"

Nian Qiaoyue's tears fell uncontrollably and she sobbed.

Just in case, Nian Susu told her in advance: "Also, don't expect me to save you. I'm going to be the Crown Princess, and you're a little prostitute, not even worthy of licking my shoes. You should be grateful that I can come to see you today." She glanced at Nian Qiaoyue condescendingly.

Nian Qiaoyue was already sensitive and inferior, and Nian Susu easily trampled on her dignity with just a few words.

Her original plan included asking Nian Susu for help, but now, she just wanted to drive Nian Susu out.

The uglier her expression, the happier Nian Susu would be. Only in this way would Nian Qiaoyue not beg him to save her, and the system would not force her to agree to Nian Qiaoyue's request.

After making sure that Nian Qiaoyue didn't have any illusions about her, Nian Susu continued, "Yang Qishuang... Humph, you are so bold. You stole it from Graystone City, right?"

"When I asked you to hand over the medicine, I told you that if you dared to conceal anything, you would bear the consequences. Do you really think I was trying to scare you?"
