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

So no one in the Xiangfu knew about it, but there was one person...

"Yes." Nian Qiaoyue nodded nervously.

The Queen instantly became alert, clenched her handkerchief, leaned forward, and asked, "Who?"

Nian Qiaoyue gave a name and address, and the queen immediately sent Zhou Fuhai to capture the person.

Nian Qiaoyue couldn't remember how she left Zhongcui Palace, she only knew that the queen was cruel and ruthless and she must not fall into her hands.

……

It has been three days since Nian Susu woke up. She has become familiar with the maids in the East Palace. They bring her food and medicine on time every day and are gentle and meticulous when helping her apply the medicine. However, they are all very sensible and will not say anything that should not be said or ask anything that should not be asked.

Nian Susu tried to ask them about Qin Junyu's situation, but their answers were all: "I don't know."

In the few days since she woke up, she hadn't seen anyone else except these palace maids. Qin Junyu was not there, and even Axuan didn't show up.

Nian Susu's body is still very weak. Every time he wakes up, he will feel sleepy and exhausted after sitting for two or three hours at most. The imperial physician said that this is normal because his body functions have not yet fully recovered, so he needs to rest more.

When Xiao Yunzheng came over that day, Nian Susu was still asleep, so she moved a stool to the side of the bed and stayed with him quietly.

The palace maids came several times, but Xiao Yunzheng refused to let them wake up Nian Susu.

Looking at the half of her arm exposed, wrapped in layers of gauze and stained red with blood in several places, Xiao Yunzheng felt so distressed that she secretly shed tears. Nian Susu happened to wake up and saw her wiping tears.

"Yun Zheng?" Nian Su Su thought she was dreaming. She blinked and the shadow in front of her eyes became more real. She was sure that this was not a dream. She smiled and thought, "Yun Zheng, why are you here?"

She wanted to sit up, and Xiao Yunzheng hurried over to help her.

Moving closer, Nian Susu could see more clearly that Xiao Yunzheng's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had been crying.

She smiled helplessly, "What's wrong? I'm fine, aren't I? Why are you crying?"

Xiao Yunzheng pouted and simply sat down beside the bed, looking her up and down. Her pale face, lifeless eyes, and weak voice did not indicate that she was “fine”. However, Xiao Yunzheng could not bear to say anything harsh, so she could only say aggrievedly, “I was so worried.”

It was only the day before yesterday that she found out that Nian Susu had been arrested and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and was tortured. If her eldest brother had not stopped her, she would have entered the palace the day before yesterday.

Because she didn't know what was going on with Nian Susu, Xiao Yunzheng wanted to just take a look and leave. However, when she asked the palace maid, she found out that Nian Susu had been awake for two days. She was surprised and happy, and had been waiting for her to wake up.

Nian Susu comforted her and repeatedly assured her that he would act more cautiously next time. Only then did Xiao Yunzheng stop crying.

"By the way, my father and mother know..." Nian Susu hesitated to speak.

Xiao Yunzheng burst into laughter and said, "Don't worry about that. The Prime Minister knew about it the first day that His Highness brought you into the Eastern Palace. It was him and His Highness who interceded together to get the Emperor to agree to let you recuperate in the Eastern Palace."

"What about the Queen and Nian Qiaoyue?"

"The Queen..." Xiao Yunzheng was not very clear. After all, she was the mother of a country. The punishment the Emperor would give her would not be too severe. The main reason was that the truth had not yet been found out. The Emperor was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. "There has been no movement from the Emperor yet."

"As for Nian Qiaoyue, the Queen asked her to move back to Xiangru Palace a few days ago."

Nian Susu understood that the Queen had taken Nian Qiaoyue under control again because she was afraid that the matter would be exposed. However, since Nian Qiaoyue had already entered the game, she would not turn against her easily, so the Queen's worries were completely unnecessary.

She sighed heavily, the wounds on her body aching slightly.

Seeing that she was feeling uncomfortable, Xiao Yunzheng swallowed back whatever she wanted to say, helped her lie down, and covered her with a blanket.

"Lingling, you take a rest. I'll come to see you another day." Xiao Yunzheng had reluctance in her eyes, but she couldn't bear to see her in so much pain and still have to talk to her.

Nian Susu was indeed tired, so he nodded and smiled at her.

Before leaving, Nian Susu asked her if she knew where Qin Junyu had gone. Xiao Yunzheng said she didn't know either, so Nian Susu had to give up.

Zhongcui Palace.

Qin Zehai rushed into the hall in a hurry, his face was terribly gloomy. The palace servants in the hall didn't even bother to greet him when they saw him. They shrank their necks and lowered their heads to step aside to make way.

Qin Zehai ran quickly into the inner room.

At this time, the queen had just got up and had not yet dressed up. Because she did not sleep last night, her old headache came back this morning, and the palace maid was giving her a massage.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, the queen closed her eyes and looked very happy.

The palace maids had learned a special massage technique that could relieve headaches, and every time she had an attack, she would ask the palace maids to massage her for a quarter of an hour.

"My queen, are you still strong enough?" the maid asked in a soft voice.

"Yes." The queen was satisfied.

It was a comfortable and peaceful moment, but it was completely broken when Qin Zehai rushed in.

Without saying a word, he ran to the queen and swept the things on the dressing table to the ground with a wave of his sleeve.

The maid was frightened and stepped back quickly.

The queen slowly opened her eyes and stared at Qin Zehai, whose face was red and neck was thick. A nameless fire was burning in her heart. The headache had already made her feel depressed, and Qin Zehai came to Zhongcui Palace to make a scene again. Even the best-tempered people could not stand it.

"Cui'er, you go down first."

"Let them all go and close the door."

The queen suppressed her anger and gave a few instructions.

Cui'er responded and left in a hurry. As the palace door was heavily closed, the quarrel between the two broke out completely.

The queen stood up and asked with a dark face: "Why are you so mad so early in the morning? You rushed in so blatantly, do you think our lives are too long?"

If the emperor heard this, both of them would die.

They had always met secretly before, and Qin Zehai would not expose himself even if he was in a hurry. What happened this time? The queen didn't understand.

Qin Zehai turned his back and said through gritted teeth, "Mu Zelan! You're going to kill me, you know that!"

Mu Zelan is the Queen's name. Ever since they met, Qin Zehai has always called her by her nickname "Er Niang". These three words really hurt the Queen's heart.

"Qin Zehai!" The Queen called him by his full name, and walked around the mess and came to him. "Tell me clearly, what do you mean by I want to kill you?"

She felt aggrieved. "Over the years, everything I did and every word I said was for our future, for Tian'er. How could you say such a thing now..."

The queen became more and more angry as she spoke, poking Qin Zehai's chest and asking him: "Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Qin Zehai, who was furious, regained some of his rationality, but not completely. He grabbed the queen's wrist and pulled it forward, forcing her to stagger forward.

He asked word by word: "Why did you move Nian Susu?"
