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

The queen's face was covered with tears and her demeanor was not very good. She questioned the emperor: "Your Majesty, is this the result you want? Although Tian'er was wrong, he is still your son! How can you be so cruel..." Her tears fell.

The emperor was furious and said, "I am sad too! I am heartbroken too! But things have come to this! What can I do?"

The queen sneered, "Really? Would the emperor be heartbroken too? I thought the emperor hated us mother and daughter so much that he wanted us to die immediately." The mockery in her eyes was obvious.

The emperor knew he was wrong and felt guilty, but even so, he couldn't bear the empress's blatant provocation to his lungs.

But Qin Fengtian was the queen's only child. If he became a moron, he would have no one to rely on. It was inevitable that she would be sad and angry and hate herself.

Thinking of this, the emperor suppressed his anger.

"Li Zhongquan." The emperor called Eunuch Li over.

"The third prince is mentally ill and needs someone to take care of him. Considering the queen's eagerness to have a son, the third prince will be moved to Xiangru Palace so that mother and son can see each other more often."

"The Queen has to take care of the Third Prince, so I'm afraid she won't be able to do that. Concubine Ning will continue to assist the Queen in managing the six palaces."

After hearing this, Eunuch Li broke out in a sweat and quickly replied "yes". He then left immediately to pass the order down.

The third prince is mentally retarded and looks like a three-year-old child. He cannot live without his mother. Xiangru Palace is very close to the Queen's Zhongcui Palace, so it would be more convenient for him to move in.

The Emperor seemed to have lifted the Queen's house arrest, allowing her to meet the Third Prince, but he did not remove Concubine Ning's power to assist in managing the six palaces, and it seemed that he had not yet completely forgiven the Queen.

As soon as the decree was issued, people in the palace were in panic.

The harem may seem calm on the surface, but underneath it all seems to be turbulent.

Ever since Concubine Ning took control of the real power, many discerning fence-sitters in the palace have come to curry favor with her, including some of the empress's former flatterers.

They originally thought that the harem would be Concubine Ning's world from now on, and they were all anxious to show their loyalty. However, after Concubine Ning had been in power for only a few days, the Queen lifted the house arrest order.

They then thought that the Queen had regained her former glory. Remembering their own fence-sitting behavior, they were afraid that the Queen would punish them, so they all prepared to go back and curry favor with the Queen. However, when they inquired, they found out that the Emperor had not removed Concubine Ning's power.

He was wavering back and forth, not knowing who to hold onto.

Concubine Ning, who was at the center of the storm, seemed to be at ease, and did not seem to care whether the Queen was reinstated or not. Everyone thought she was pretending.

……

When the day came for Nian Qiaoyue to leave the prime minister's residence, she still refused to go. Nian Chengyun and Yang Yuerong tried together but failed to persuade her.

Nian Qiaoyue shouted that she was not feeling well and asked the doctor to take her pulse. After the doctor took her pulse, she left obediently.

Nian Chengyun had no choice but to agree.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you look at it.

Nian Qiaoyue is pregnant!

This news was not spread out, but was secretly sent into the palace.

Nian Chengyun paced back and forth in the mansion, feeling anxious and uncertain.

Yang Yuerong sat there, also feeling anxious.

"Master, there's no point in being anxious. We have to see what His Majesty says."

Nian Chengyun shook his sleeves, sighed heavily, and analyzed the situation for her.

"Prince Qing has become an idiot after the fever. Even if he is a prince, no girl would be willing to marry him. If the emperor orders him to choose a wife and forces the girl to marry, she will never have sex with him."

"In this case, wouldn't Prince Qing be childless?"

"The child in Qiao Yue's belly is his last hope. The emperor will definitely not touch the child after considering this."

Yang Yuerong thought it made sense. Wouldn't Qiao Yue be able to become a princess by virtue of her son's status as a lowly prostitute?

She was not convinced, and even more unwilling to resign!

Why is it so lucky?

Yang Yuerong gritted her teeth and said, "What should I do, Master?"

Nian Chengyun: "Now it depends on what identity the emperor intends to let her enter the Prince Qing's Mansion."

"She has been removed from the Nian family tree. No matter what, I will not recognize her as a member of the Nian family." Yang Yuerong said angrily.

Nian Chengyun looked at his wife, feeling extremely helpless. He had the same thought.

It was not until the evening that someone finally came from the palace.

The emperor summoned Nian Chengyun to the palace to discuss important matters.

Nian Chengyun entered the palace with an uneasy heart. When he stepped into the door of the Yangxin Palace, he found that Concubine Ning was there too.

Concubine Ning and the emperor were having a meal, talking and laughing, which made Nian Chengyun seem redundant. And the emperor had no intention of letting her leave.

Nian Chengyun stood aside for a while, and then the emperor put down his chopsticks and asked him, "Prime Minister Nian, do you want to sit down with us?"

Nian Chengyun shook his head repeatedly, "No need, Your Majesty. I came here this time to help Your Majesty with his worries and difficulties. How can I delay my work because of greed?"

The emperor took a sip of tea without changing his expression. "Originally, I called you here to discuss with you how to deal with the second young lady Nian."

Nian Chengyun’s heart tightened.

"But, on your way here, I have already got the answer." The emperor looked at Concubine Ning with a smile.

Nian Chengyun looked up in surprise and also looked at Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning smiled gently and generously, "Master Nian, I have some ideas. Let me tell you and see if they are feasible."

"Please give me your guidance, Empress Ning." Nian Chengyun nodded.

Concubine Ning: "The Emperor has issued an order to demote Miss Qiao Yue to slavery and sell her to a brothel. Although she still lives in the Prime Minister's residence, she is no longer a member of the Nian family, let alone your daughter, Master Nian."

Nian Chengyun nodded in agreement.

"But since she is pregnant, and the child is the Third Prince's, she is of royal blood. The Emperor is kind and cannot bear to kill an unborn baby. Besides, the Third Prince is in a bad condition now, and it is hard to say whether he can have children in the future. So it is best to let Miss Qiao Yue give birth to the child."

Nian Chengyun seemed to be thinking about something.

Concubine Ning knew what he was worried about, so she continued, "Miss Qiaoyue is a criminal, so she cannot enter the Prince Qing's mansion as a wife or concubine."

"What does Concubine Ning mean?" Nian Chengyun asked in surprise.

"Miss Qiao Yue is a slave, so she can be taken care of by Third Aunt as a personal maid in the future, and rest assured to take care of her pregnancy in Prince Qing's mansion."

"We'll make other plans after the child is born." Concubine Ning smiled meaningfully, with hidden meaning in her words.

The emperor was apparently pleased with the idea.

"What do you think, my dear Lord Nian?"

Nian Chengyun pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a brilliant plan. I admire you!"

Allowing Nian Qiaoyue to enter the Eastern Palace as a palace maid would not damage the reputation of the Nian family and would also preserve the prince in her belly. It could be said to be the best of both worlds.

Once he agreed, the emperor immediately ordered someone to draft an edict and let Nian Chengyun take him home.

West Wing.

Nian Qiaoyue knelt on the cold and stiff bluestone ground and listened to the imperial edict. It was as if she was hit on the head and she almost fainted.

Nian Chengyun ordered his men to put away the imperial edict and looked coldly at Nian Qiaoyue, who was in tears but had no tears left, his eyes full of ridicule and disgust.
