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

Ah Falcon sat down in the empty seat next to Qingyu and put his frozen hands close to the fire. All of a sudden his fingers felt numb, which was the result of the sudden change from cold to hot.

"Sir, I have just checked around. There are animal skeletons on the hillside not far from us and by the small river to the east. There are probably wolves in this area."

"So it's best not to leave the fire. Even if you have to leave, it's best to bring self-defense weapons and go in groups. Don't go too far so that you can call for help in time if there is danger."

The words "there is a wolf" made several people tremble with fear, but Luo Yuanxiang looked at Nian Susu thoughtfully. The dry food in her hand, which was already tasteless, suddenly became hard to swallow. She simply put away the dry food and concentrated on roasting a fire.

Qin Junyu secretly handed a dagger to Nian Susu and signaled her with his eyes to hide it. No one noticed this little action.

"Just in case," he whispered.

Nian Susu did not reject his kindness and answered him in a low voice: "I know, I will protect myself, and you are not allowed to put yourself in danger."

The two of them were very close to each other, and their smiles were particularly bright under the light of the fire. To outsiders, it looked like they were whispering and showing their deep affection.

Luo Yuanxiang sat opposite them, taking in the entire scene, with a strange emotion flashing in her eyes.

She nudged Xiao Yunzheng, who was concentrating on eating a cake beside her, blinked her innocent eyes, and asked curiously: "Miss Xiao, based on my observations over the past few days, Mr. Xiao and Miss Nian seem to have a special relationship, and seem to be closer than others."

"Mr. Xiao is always cold to everyone, and only shows his gentle side when he is with Miss Nian."

She stared at Xiao Yunzheng meaningfully, "Besides... you all have the surname Xiao, so you are naturally siblings, but Miss Nian is not. Could it be..."

Both of them knew the implication.

Xiao Yunzheng was simple-minded and carefree, and she was not on guard against anyone. Moreover, Luo Yuanxiang was a girl they rescued along the way, so she had even fewer customers.

She told Luo Yuanxiang: "Miss Nian is actually my future sister-in-law, the emperor..." She was stunned, and quickly swallowed the two words, and changed her words: "Once an auspicious day is chosen, they will get married."

Luo Yuanxiang was not too surprised, as if she heard something she expected.

But she still didn't understand one thing: "Mr. Xiao and Miss Nian are about to get married, so why do they have to go to Yuhang, which is so far away? Could it be that they want to settle down in Yuhang before getting married?"

Along the way, she inquired about a lot of information indirectly and naturally knew that their destination was Yuhang County, which was actually the same as her own destination.

However, they had no intention of sending her to Yuhang, but instead wanted to abandon her in Jiyin. Luo Yuanxiang was very dissatisfied with this.

Even if we take a step back, her father saved not only her, but also the life of the girl that year. Instead of being grateful, they felt that they were a burden and planned to throw her away at any time.

Whenever Luo Yuanxiang thought of this, she became furious, but in front of others, she could only pretend to be well-behaved, submissive, obedient, naive and innocent.

Only in this way would they feel a little more guilty, and she could take advantage of it as long as she had a little bit.

Xiao Yunzheng propped up her chin with her knees, thought about it, and felt that if she made up too many lies, it would be easy to be exposed, but telling the truth would very likely expose her identity, which would be even worse. She could only explain it to her half-truthfully.

"Well... I heard that there is a temple called Xianlin Temple in Yuhang County, which is particularly effective, so my family asked my brother to take my future sister-in-law to ask for a peace amulet, so as to bless her with peace, smoothness, and happiness in the future."

Luo Yuanxiang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

To prevent her from asking any more questions, Xiao Yunzheng simply told them everything at once: "My second brother and I followed them here simply to see the world. You could say that the four of us came here with the mentality of having fun."

"Very good." Luo Yuanxiang smiled cooperatively.

After finishing their dry food, they each found a secluded place to rest.

Luo Yuanxiang wanted to sleep in the carriage with Nian Susu on the pretext of being afraid. Xiao Yunzheng had even been to the battlefield, so she was naturally not afraid. She took the initiative to give up the carriage and leaned against a tree near the fire to rest.

Qin Junyu and Qin Guanqing went to a tree farther away. As for Qingyu and Axuan, they were on guard in the surroundings and could take a nap anytime and anywhere.

Nian Susu and Luo Yuanxiang each occupied one side of the carriage, lying face to face.

Both of them were covered with thin blankets. They didn't feel anything when they were by the fire just now, but now that they were back in the carriage, the coldness started to creep up from the soles of their feet.

Luo Yuanxiang had no desire to sleep. In the darkness, she couldn't tell whether Nian Susu was asleep or awake, but the person opposite her was breathing evenly and there was no sound at all, while she tossed and turned several times.

It was not until the second half of the night that Luo Yuanxiang carefully sat up, pushed open the car window, and looking back at Nian Susu in the light of the fire.

Nian Susu's face was calm, his breathing was long, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.

She stuck her head out and looked outside. She could see Xiao Yunzheng leaning against a tree trunk, looking solemnly. There was no sign of Axuan and Qingyu. Apart from the whistling wind, there was no other sound around. Even the bonfire was almost burned out.

In just a short while, her face became a little stiff due to the late autumn wind.

Luo Yuanxiang quietly lowered the car window, lay back down, covered herself with a blanket, and lowered her voice, pretending to be hoarse as if she had just woken up, "Miss Nian... Miss Nian..."

I called out four or five times, but there was no movement from the person on the other end.

Luo Yuanxiang was impatient and a little disgusted, and complained in her heart: He is sleeping so soundly that someone who doesn't know would think he is dead.

She suppressed her anger and raised her voice: "Miss Nian?"

Nian Susu was sleepy. She opened her eyelids a little, but couldn't see anything clearly. She closed them again and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong, Miss Luo?"

Luo Yuanxiang stammered, "I...I want to relieve myself, but...I'm scared to be alone."

Although she didn't say it explicitly, her meaning was obvious: she wanted Nian Susu to accompany her.

Although Nian Susu was very sleepy, he still forced himself to sit up, rubbed his eyes, opened the window and looked outside. He estimated that it was only Yinshi, about three or four in the morning, and it was still dark.

Without saying a word, she pulled the blanket aside and put on her shoes, "Come on, I'll go with you."

She agreed so readily that Luo Yuanxiang felt embarrassed. Nian Susu had put on his shoes and was about to go out, but Luo Yuanxiang was still lying there without moving.

With the light coming in from the car window, Nian Susu could see her face clearly. She was not wearing any makeup and looked a little sickly, revealing a kind of fragile beauty.

Seeing her staring at her like that, Luo Yuanxiang looked away embarrassedly and sat up by holding on to the car board.
