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

Fortunately, the emperor had no intention of staying overnight, and even more fortunately, Qin Zehai did not barge in, otherwise he would have been caught red-handed.

If they betrayed the emperor, both of them would surely die, so the queen was still very cautious on this point.

She was worried that the emperor would come back suddenly and bump into Qin Zehai walking into the inner room. She kept nagging as she walked, "Didn't I tell you not to come because I'm keeping a close watch on you these days?"

Entering the darkness, the queen let go of Qin Zehai and went to light the lamp tree. The two stood face to face, with expressions at two extremes.

Qin Zehai laughed, but the Queen didn't.

"Okay, Second Mother, I know my limits." Qin Zehai stepped forward and grabbed the Queen's arm, pulling her to the edge of the couch. The two sat down side by side. "I came to you in such a hurry because I have something important to say."

The queen suppressed all her emotions and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

She and Qin Zehai had not seen each other for more than a month, and she had not heard of any major events during this period. She even suspected that Qin Zehai was deliberately making up an excuse just to come and see her.

But Qin Zehai's eyes were sincere, and he didn't seem to be lying.

Qin Zehai sighed, "Second Mother, aren't you anxious? Qin Junyu is going to get married with Nian Susu!"

His Jiuyun Mountain plan failed. Nian Susu did not die, and Qin Junyu came back alive. They were about to get married. Qin Junyu got the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he had lost everything.

"That damn emperor secretly destroyed my martial arts training ground a while ago, and took all the weapons and soldiers for himself. I planned for so long, but it was all for others!"

"I have no place to appeal, otherwise he will have reason to accuse me of treason!"

Qin Zehai became more and more angry as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.

The Queen didn't have any strong emotions, but she wasn't in a good mood either. She endured it and didn't get angry, trying to calm Qin Zehai's emotions.

"What makes me even more angry is that those snobs in the court, seeing that Qin Junyu is in power, they rush to curry favor with him. I sent invitations to them and visited them in person, but they refused to see me!" Qin Zehai's face turned red and his neck was thick, and he almost threw the cup to express his anger.

He gradually calmed down and analyzed the situation: "If this continues, we will have no one left on our side. How can we fight Qin Junyu?"

The queen was thoughtful.

Qin Zehai noticed her abnormality and asked worriedly: "Second Mother, what's wrong with you? Why is it so quiet tonight?"

Whenever he talked about these things in the past, the Queen's emotions would be affected by him, and at the very least she would comfort him gently and patiently. But tonight she was preoccupied and did not respond much.

The queen's expression became a little strange. She stared at him with sharp eyes and held his hand tightly. "Ze Hai, there is one thing I haven't told you yet."

Qin Zehai's heart was in suspense for a moment, but he also felt that this was her backup plan, and a little hope ignited in his heart.

"In fact, I have given Qin Junyu a strange poison before. There are very few people in the world who can cure it. Once poisoned, if you don't take the antidote within half a month, you will definitely die." The queen lowered her voice and said this solemnly.

Qin Zehai was dumbfounded. He never thought that the queen would do such a thing.

His throat was hard and he was a little excited. "When did it happen?"

"About five years ago." The queen lowered her eyes.

"Five years?" Qin Ze raised his voice, "Didn't they say that if the poison is not removed within half a month, the person will die?"

Could it be possible that Qin Junyu really found one of those few?

If that's the case, he's really lucky.

The Queen also had doubts about this matter. "I am sure that he has not completely detoxified. I just don't know how he suppressed the poison temporarily and survived until now."

"During that half month, his men rushed around, looking for famous doctors. They sent them to the East Palace one by one, but they came out shaking their heads, saying that there was no hope and that they could not be saved."

Qin Zehai was eager to know what would happen next. Seeing her pause, he asked anxiously, "What happened next? Did his men find someone who could suppress the poison?"

The queen's face turned pale. "Well, the last person to come to the East Palace was a well-traveled and knowledgeable quack doctor. He only stayed in the East Palace for one day and then left. After that, there was no news. My people couldn't find him either. It was as if he disappeared from this world."

"So mysterious..." Qin Zehai touched his chin, "If the poison in his body is not cured, will it recur again?"

Queen: "It attacks once every two weeks. Although it is very painful, it is not fatal. But if the poison is not detoxified within ten years, he will die without a doubt. Even the gods cannot save him."

Ten years, that means you have to wait another five years. After five years, the opportunity will be gone, so what’s the point of fighting for the throne?

Qin Zehai clenched his fists, "No, I can't wait that long. Do you have any way to catalyze the onset of this poison?"

The queen hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, there is, but I'm not sure if he will die immediately after using it or if it will shorten the time it takes for the poison to take effect."

"It doesn't matter! It's okay to shorten the time, and it's better to die!" Qin Zehai became excited, as if he saw hope.

The queen hesitated again, but finally agreed. However, this medicine was actually one of the ingredients for making poison, and it was only available in her hometown of southern Xinjiang. If she sent people to look for it now, the round-trip journey plus the searching time would take at least two or three months, which would be almost the date for Qin Junyu and Nian Susu to get married.

Qin Zehai became even more excited. Wouldn't it be better to turn a happy event into a funeral and give everyone a surprise?

……

In March, the temperature in Shengjing had completely warmed up. Feeling sleepy in spring and tired in autumn, Nian Susu thought about sleeping every day and had no motivation to do anything. She even had no interest in the wedding at the end of May.

Zhihua couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked her to go out for a walk, even to Yuanlai Restaurant for a drink. This reminded Nian Susu that she didn't drink enough the last time she went with Qin Junyu and Xiao Jianting, so she had to get drunk this time.

Nian Susu went out happily. Zhihua was stunned and complained silently in her heart: It seems that alcohol is still effective. No matter how we persuaded her the previous times, she refused to move. This time she left so easily.

Nian Susu arrived at Yuanlai Restaurant, greeted Yun Jianfeng, and was taken to a private room on the fourth floor.

There were not many customers in the store today, so Yun Jianfeng suggested that he have a couple of drinks with her, and she happily agreed.

It was too boring to drink alone. In front of Yun Jianfeng, she didn't have to feel restrained and could drink to her heart's content. Why not?

Yun Jianfeng knew that she and Qin Junyu went to the south of the Yangtze River, so he asked a few questions about the trip. Nian Susu picked out the interesting things to talk about, but did not mention Luo Yuanxiang and the incident of her and Qin Junyu falling from the mountain. Firstly, the fewer people who knew about it, the better, and secondly, hearing about such things would only make people scared, so they shouldn't talk about these things when they should be happy.
