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

Nian Susu also planned to take advantage of this time to see Li Yaoyuan more often and express all the longing he had accumulated over the years.

Qin Junyu replied indifferently: "I will go."

When the topic came to an end, the two fell silent, got up and left tacitly, and went back to their rooms.

It is said that rain in the south of the Yangtze River comes and goes quickly, and the weather is unpredictable. However, on the fifth day, a drizzle began to fall, and the cold wind penetrated into the collars and cuffs, making people unable to straighten their backs due to the cold.

County Magistrate Chen was a thoughtful man. He sent two extra baskets of high-quality silver charcoal a day in advance and advised them not to go out as it was easy to catch a cold during this season.

Qin Guanqing had been having an affair for two or three days. Nian Susu was a little worried, but Qin Junyu told her, "He has been traveling all over the country for so many years. Yuhang County is just a place he has visited again."

Nian Susu immediately put Qin Guanqing out of his mind. Instead of worrying about him, he should worry more about himself.

As soon as it rained in Yuhang County, they were destined to be unable to climb Jiuyun Mountain. If they could not climb Jiuyun Mountain, they would not be able to complete the blessing mission, and if they did not complete the mission, they would not be able to return to Shengjing.

At this time of year, Shengjing is probably already covered in white, but there is no snow in the south of the Yangtze River, only freezing cold rain.

If they cannot get back in early to mid-December, they will not be able to reach Shengjing before the New Year and will have to spend the New Year on the road. No one wants to celebrate the Spring Festival on a bumpy road.

Nian Susu huddled in a blanket, holding the warm hot water bottle, and was too cold to move.

Not to mention that the road is slippery and she can't go up the mountain, even if she could go up the mountain, she doesn't want to go out in this horrible weather. It's too painful.

On the tenth day, the rain finally stopped. It came and went quickly. The sun was shining brightly, but it couldn't drive away the cold.

Luo Yuanxiang was finally brought out of the cool and damp dungeon. She had clearly felt the temperature drop in the past few days. Although the two men guarding her provided quilts and charcoal basins, they were of little use and she was still shivering from the cold.

That day, she was brought to the ground and the black cloth that had been covering her eyes was torn off.

She was kneeling with her hands and feet tied. She had not yet adjusted to the long-lost light. She squinted her eyes and saw a man about thirty-four years old sitting in front of her.

Luo Yuanxiang tried hard to open her eyes wide and finally saw it clearly.

The man sat upright, dressed elegantly, and looked noble. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.

She guessed that this man was the "Prince" who kidnapped her.

Qin Zehai was still holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. He glanced at Luo Yuanxiang and said nonchalantly, "She is indeed pretty, ambitious and courageous, but she is not cunning enough."

He laughed sarcastically, not hiding his contempt, and attacked Luo Yuanxiang: "But it's not easy for a country girl like you to get to this point."

"If you want to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix, this is still far from enough."

Qin Zehai sat back and relaxed, crossed his legs and looked at the angry Luo Yuanxiang, who found it even more ridiculous.

Luo Yuanxiang bit her lower lip, her voice trembling as she asked, "Who are you? Why did you lock me up? When have I ever offended you?"

Luo Yuanxiang asked herself, she didn't even know this person, so how could she have offended him?

Of course, she guessed that it was related to that Young Master Xiao, but now she could only pretend that she knew nothing and get some useful information from this man.

Qin Zehai sneered, "I can lock up anyone I want, do I need a reason?"

Luo Yuanxiang frowned. It was no use trying to reason with him, so she had to use her old tricks to deal with men.

Her expression changed instantly and she coughed softly a few times. After staying in the dungeon for eight or nine days, she was in a very miserable state. Not only were her clothes dirty and gray, but her hair had been messy since she knew not when.

But this embarrassment did not make her look disgusting, but instead made her look pitiable.

Luo Yuanxiang's eyes were red, and her eyes were glued to Qin Zehai. She leaned sideways, supported herself on the ground with her hands, and whispered, "Sir, I don't know when I have offended you. I am alone and helpless, wandering outside. If my words and actions are inappropriate and make you feel disgusted, please forgive me."

She dropped two tears as big as beans, lowered her posture, and crawled to Qin Zehai's feet using her hands and feet. The iron chain rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound. She stroked Qin Zehai's boots with a meaningful smile.

Just as she was about to speak, Qin Zehai kicked her away. After Luo Yuanxiang fell to the ground, the eunuch who was serving beside her immediately took out a handkerchief, knelt down and wiped the place where her boots had just been touched. While wiping, he glared at her with disgust and spat viciously: "Who are you! How dare you dirty our prince's boots!"

Luo Yuanxiang felt unprecedented humiliation, and the tears she shed were filled with shame, anger and resentment.

Qin Zehai waved his hand, and the father-in-law tactfully withdrew.

He put down his crossed legs, straightened his shirt hem, and said, "Miss Luo, you don't have to use that old trick on me. It won't work."

His tone was calm, less sarcastic and more like an exhortation, "Or rather, it won't work on Qin Junyu."

"There are so many beautiful women in Shengjing, and there are all kinds of them. Putting you in the crowd is like throwing an ordinary stone into a pile of beautiful jades. There is nothing special about you."

"Your little tricks can only be used on men who have never seen the world. As long as you satisfy their vanity and coax them into submission, they will naturally get whatever they want."

"We are different. Our vanity is never provided by women."

Luo Yuanxiang frowned, "Qin Junyu? Shengjing?"

She pondered over these two words again and again, and a vague answer emerged in her mind. It was not much different from what she had guessed before.

Qin Zehai stood up and looked down at Luo Yuanxiang, "Miss Luo, you still don't know the true identity of Mr. Xiao, right?"

She didn't say anything, wanting to hear this person tell her Mr. Xiao's true identity in person.

"His surname is not Xiao, but Qin. He is the current crown prince and the prince of the Eastern Palace."

Qin Zehai circled around Luo Yuanxiang a few times with a faint smile on his face, "Miss Nian is the future Crown Princess, and that Second Young Master Xiao is the Second Prince. Miss Xiao is the daughter of General Zhenyuan and the younger sister of Xiao Jianting."

The amount of information was too much for Luo Yuanxiang to react for a moment, "Prince...Prince?"

She had come into contact with many dignitaries and tried to get something from them. She also wanted to choose someone from them who was worthy of her entrusting the rest of her life to. However, she never dared to think that she could have a relationship with the royal family, let alone the prince.

She was shocked and excited. She didn't expect that she would spend half a month with the current crown prince!
