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

Nian Chengyun's heart, which had just been relieved, was lifted again. He finally understood why Qin Junyu had brought Nian Susu out of the prison at all costs. It turned out that she was so seriously injured.

With unsteady steps, Nian Chengyun almost tripped and was helped by Qin Junyu. He managed to stand steadily, feeling uneasy.

"Prime Minister Nian, Miss Nian's current condition may not be convenient for her to go home, so we have to ask her to stay in the East Palace for the time being. If the Prime Minister and his wife want to visit, they can do so at any time." Qin Junyu nodded, looking a little apologetic.

Nian Chengyun was not angry. He waved his hand and said nothing. His sigh said it all.

Prime Minister's Residence, West Wing.

Nian Qiaoyue didn’t know how many times she had woken up from a nightmare, sweating profusely and wet from the waist down. It reminded her of the early morning when she had her period, also in the same situation, soaking wet and still in shock.

But now she is not worried, because the child is gone and she no longer has to worry about whether it is sweat or blood under her body.

She wiped the sweat from her face and called Mrs. Zhang in.

During her confinement period, it was Mrs. Zhang who took care of her without a single complaint. The only time she would get upset was when she mentioned her poor child and Nian Susu.

Mrs. Zhang firmly believed that it was Nian Susu who gave Nian Qiaoyue the abortion drug, which caused her to have a miscarriage.

"What's the situation outside now?" Nian Qiaoyue sipped water.

Mrs. Zhang knew what she was asking, and while wiping the table she told her, "I heard that Dad went to the palace to plead for mercy today, but he didn't look very well when he came back, so I guess he didn't succeed." She smiled gloatingly, "It seems that the emperor still cares about Prince Qing's child, otherwise why would he not even give face to the master."

Nian Qiaoyue couldn't laugh. She always felt that it was not that simple. Even if Nian Chengyun failed to plead for mercy, there was still Qin Junyu. Would he just let it go and let Nian Susu suffer in the Heavenly Prison?

Perhaps earth-shaking changes have already taken place in places she cannot see.

Nian Qiaoyue felt that she could no longer sit there and wait for death, so she asked Mrs. Zhang to find the doctor and midwife who delivered her that day.

Mrs. Zhang responded and just turned to go out, but her face was terrified, as if she had seen something scary. She took a few steps back and looked at Nian Qiaoyue tremblingly.

"What's wrong?" Nian Qiaoyue had a bad feeling.

The next second, Zhou Fuhai appeared in the room with a sinister smile.

Nian Qiaoyue's heart tightened and she asked Mrs. Zhang to leave.

"The Queen Mother asked you to come with me." Zhou Fuhai gestured, "Please come in, Miss Nian Er."

The "Second Miss Nian" was extremely ironic. The emperor demoted her to slavery, and Nian Chengyun removed her from the family tree. She was no longer a member of the Nian family.

Nian Qiaoyue's eyes felt swollen and sore, so she threw off the quilt and got up.

"Eunuch Zhou, do you know why the Queen summoned me to the palace?" Nian Qiaoyue asked tentatively while putting on her cloak.

Zhou Fuhai turned his back to her and said in a bad tone: "The master has given orders, so just follow them. Why ask so many whys?" This was also a warning to Nian Qiaoyue not to talk too much.

Nian Qiaoyue understood his hint and stopped asking questions. She put on her cloak and followed him into the palace.

Zhongcui Palace.

As soon as the person arrived, Zhou Fuhai dismissed all the servants in the hall.

The queen looked at Nian Qiaoyue, her eyes resting on her belly. Although the child was gone, the bulge in her belly did not go down so quickly.

Nian Qiaoyue noticed it, and calmly pulled up her cloak to cover her belly, her expression becoming unnatural.

"The queen called me here. Is there something wrong?" she asked with a choked throat.

Since the queen didn't say anything, she might as well take the initiative, ask clearly and leave early, which would be better than being stared at with such meaningful eyes.

The queen calmed down and said, "From today on, you should move back to Xiangru Palace. It will be more convenient for you to recuperate or recuperate than to stay in the prime minister's residence."

She straightened her sleeves and sat on the toffee chair. Without giving Nian Qiaoyue time to react, she said, "If there is no problem, let Zhou Fuhai take you there. Let him take a look at what you need and buy it for you."

"Ah?" Nian Qiaoyue was confused.

She initially lived in the palace because she was Qin Fengtian's personal maid and had to serve him closely. Then she moved to a side hall to take care of her pregnancy. Later, she moved back to the prime minister's residence, waiting to move back to Xiangru Palace after marrying Qin Fengtian.

Now, she has neither given birth to a child nor married Qin Fengtian, but the Queen actually asked her to move back to Xiangru Palace. To put it nicely, it's for confinement, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just to become a palace maid again?

Nian Qiaoyue saw through the Queen's thoughts and naturally refused.

"My queen, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you and I to move back to Xiangru Palace before you and the prince get married, right?"

"Otherwise, how about waiting for a few days until I feel better and then going through the process of taking a concubine and then I will come back?"

She was already humble enough, but the queen refused to give her even the last bit of dignity.

"Nian Qiaoyue, don't you realize your situation? You are a slave. The reason why the emperor agreed to let Tian'er take you as a concubine is because you are pregnant."

"You've lost your child, and you're still dreaming about marrying Tian'er? It's a relief that the emperor didn't punish you."

"I am the only one who can help you now. If you don't want to be thrown out of the mansion by Nian Chengyun and beg on the street, you have to listen to me."

The Queen didn't even want to pretend anymore and directly pointed out her virginity, which made Nian Qiaoyue feel even more embarrassed.

Nian Qiaoyue, who still held on to a glimmer of hope, had her hopes shattered in an instant, as if struck by lightning. Her legs went limp and she fell to the ground, with no one to help her.

The Queen and Zhou Fuhai treated each other coldly.

"My queen, I don't want anything, I don't fight for anything, I just want a status, to be able to stay with the prince with dignity..." Nian Qiaoyue begged with red eyes, "My queen, please give me another chance because I was once pregnant with the prince's child."

The queen sneered, "Don't think I don't know. Your pregnancy was never going to be saved. I tried every possible way to delay it until it was seven months old."

The Queen told Nian Qiaoyue everything she had found out, including the fact that the doctor and the midwife had been killed to silence them, and asked her to consider whether or not to listen to her.

As expected, Nian Qiaoyue admitted defeat. She was afraid that the Queen would kill her like she killed those people. Because the Queen wanted to use this incident to deal with Nian Susu, she needed to insist that it was Nian Susu who gave her the abortion drug.

This was the task assigned to her by the Queen. If she failed to complete it, death would await her.

"Besides the people in the delivery room that day, who else knew about your situation?" The queen stared at her as if she were looking at prey.

Nian Qiaoyue thought carefully about the three months she had lived in the Xiangfu. She had hardly set foot in other places except the East Wing, and she rarely went outside the mansion. Even Mrs. Zhang, who served her personally, didn't know that she was pregnant with a dead fetus. She brought her pregnancy-preserving medicine on time every day and gave her some parenting knowledge from time to time. Thinking back now, she only felt sad.
