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

In the darkness, someone was walking towards her. She was a graceful woman. She did not completely walk out of the darkness, so Nian Susu did not see her clearly. There was only a blurry figure at the other end.

Nian Susu walked forward, trying to get closer to her. She was clearly only a few steps away, but no matter how she walked, she couldn't get any closer, as if she was standing still.

She gave up, stayed where she was, and inquired carefully: "Are you... the system?" She was not sure, but there was a voice deep in her heart telling her that the person in front of her was the system.

The woman smiled, "Host, we finally meet." The voice she made was like a cold mechanical sound, and Nian Susu was very familiar with this voice.

"I thought you had no physical body." Nian Susu laughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere. It felt like a meeting between two netizens and both of them were socially anxious.

The system did not explain, and the atmosphere froze to the extreme again.

"Am I dead then?" Nian Susu suddenly remembered the most important thing.

The system that had never appeared suddenly appeared after she was seriously injured, and the environment she was in really looked like her soul was called back to the transit station after a mission failed.

"Do you want to die?" the system asked her calmly.

"Of course not!" Nian Susu blurted out without hesitation, "Although I really want to die these days, I still can't die if you really want to."

"Besides, I still have things to finish, I can't die." Her eyes sparkled.

System: "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Is it related to Qin Junyu? Or is it related to Nian Qiaoyue?"

Nian Susu thought for a moment and said, "They are all related."

Qin Junyu is the main reason why she wants to stay in this world, and Nian Qiaoyue is the key to achieving this wish.

"Is it worth staying here for a man?" the system asked her.

"It's not worth it." Nian Susu answered bluntly.

Because she stayed not only for Qin Junyu, but also for her relatives and friends. Although the ruling ideology of the feudal dynasty sometimes made her feel suffocated, there were people willing to protect her and stand by her side to support her unconditionally, which was better than living alone in the original world.

"I told you that in the real world, I have no family or friends. I live from day to day, and I spend my days and nights with a pile of Chinese medicinal herbs. If I collapse from exhaustion from working all night on research, my colleagues will take me to the hospital the next day."

"I'm really tired of living like this."

Nian Su Su sighed, "You can read my mind, so you should know what I'm thinking."

The system went silent.

After a moment, the system told her that she was not dead, but because the host was seriously injured, the brain almost stopped working and was not enough to support the operation of the system.

And Nian Susu, who coexisted with the system, naturally could not control that entity, so she was forced to enter this place.

Once Nian Su Su recovers, she will be able to go back naturally.

She is now locked up here, not knowing what is happening outside and unable to sense the passage of time.

Qin Junyu forcibly took her back to the East Palace. He didn't know what the Queen would do. This was what Nian Susu was most worried about.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Qin Junyu and Nian Chengyun exchanged glances, both were shocked.

They met at Dongzhimen and had the same destination: to see the emperor in the Yangxin Palace. Unexpectedly, they were here for the same thing.

The emperor even suspected that the two of them had agreed to work together to put pressure on him.

"You guys should stand up first, don't kneel down."

The two of them then stood up.

Qin Junyu: "Father, what Nian Chengyun just said is what I want to say, but there is one more thing that I am afraid you don't know yet."

The emperor motioned for him to continue, and Nian Chengyun also looked at him curiously.

When Qin Junyu revealed that the Queen had secretly tortured Nian Susu to the point of being on the verge of death, Nian Chengyun's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

The emperor's expression was unpredictable and he was in a heavy mood. Originally, when the news of Nian Qiaoyue's miscarriage reached the palace, he did not care. After all, the child was conceived by a lowly slave, and if born, it would only tarnish the reputation of the royal family. It would be better if the child died.

But he never expected that within just a few days, the queen would lock Nian Susu in the sky prison and torture him to extract a confession.

Nian Chengyun just wanted to plead for Nian Susu, but now, knowing that his daughter was injured like this, he could no longer bear it.

"Your Majesty, although I am old and can no longer work day and night for state affairs, I have done my best to share your worries. But my daughter was treated like this. I am really heartbroken! I am willing to exchange my career for a chance to prove my daughter's innocence!"

Nian Chengyun knelt down again, and every word he said was full of gems and didn't sound fake.

The emperor frowned, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he helped Nian Chengyun up himself, "My dear Nian, what are you talking about? When did you and I become so distant?"

Nian Chengyun didn't appreciate it and turned his head away. Such nice words had no effect on him, let alone Nian Susu. He was in a high position and boasted that he was like a fish in water in the officialdom, but now he couldn't even protect his own daughter. How could he stay here with dignity?

The emperor sighed in embarrassment. He didn't expect that as soon as he helped one person up, the other one knelt down again.

Qin Junyu stood straight, and although he knelt, he did not admit his fault. He said firmly, "Father, Miss Nian is in danger. As the head of the palace and Miss Nian's fiancé, I cannot bear to watch her die in prison, so I took the initiative to bring her back to the East Palace to heal her."

He raised his eyes and met the emperor's shocked gaze. "I don't think I did anything wrong, but I made a decision without your consent, which is disrespectful. Please punish me."

Nian Chengyun had a look of relief, and his eyes seemed to say: This son-in-law is good, he really helps when there is something going on!

Knowing that Nian Susu was now in the East Palace, he felt a little relieved. Otherwise, regardless of whether the emperor agreed or not, he would bring his daughter home today, even if it meant sacrificing his own future.

"It's alright." The emperor helped Qin Junyu up. "The Queen was at fault in the first place. You saved Miss Nian's life. Not only was you not wrong, but you actually did something good."

"As a prince, you love your subjects, have a sense of justice, and have upright character. As a husband, you stand up to protect your wife. You are responsible and manly! This is my son!" The emperor smiled and patted Qin Junyu on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Father!"

Qin Junyu and Nian Chengyun left the Yangxin Palace together, and there was no joy on their faces.

After going down the stairs, Nian Chengyun asked, "How is Lingling doing now?"

"Not very well." Qin Junyu smiled solemnly, "The imperial physician has examined him. He has lost too much blood. Now he can only rely on precious medicinal herbs to keep him alive, and then slowly recover. It is still unknown when he will wake up."
