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

The queen couldn't believe it and struggled hard several times to break free from Qin Zehai's restraints, but failed.

The height difference between them made her look up at Qin Zehai with her eyes wide open, "Qin Zehai, just because of a Nian Susu, you stormed into Zhongcui Palace and got mad at me?"

She laughed sarcastically, "I think you have forgotten the way here! If it weren't for me all these years, you would have died somewhere long ago! How could you have achieved what you have today?"

In those days, the emperor's brothers fought for the throne, deceiving each other, helpless, and resorting to all means. Several princes died. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The reason why Qin Zehai was able to survive after the failure was largely because of the queen. His current achievements are also inseparable from the support of the queen.

To put it bluntly, Qin Zehai is just a gigolo.

The Queen could accept Qin Zehai's mediocrity and his dependence on her, but he could never betray her or disobey her.

Qin Zehai's behavior today was already testing her bottom line.

Qin Zehai was not awakened by her scolding, but became even angrier.

He admitted that Mu Zelan had helped her a lot along the way, but if it weren't for his intelligence and wisdom, how could he maintain his status and control power?

"Mu Zelan, I didn't expect that you thought about me this much." Qin Zehai looked at her disappointedly, tears in his eyes.

He let go of her hand and staggered back to distance himself from her. "I don't want to argue with you about this now. I came to you to tell you that Qin Junyu is targeting us now because of what you did to Nian Susu."

"After the emperor took down my martial arts training ground, I have been trying to find a way to rebuild it. Now, Qin Junyu has dozens of people watching me and investigating me. Do you know how much time this has wasted? And he could find out what I am doing at any time."

Qin Zehai calmed down and realized that his attitude just now was too bad, but he didn't think he had said anything wrong. He tried hard to suppress his anger.

The queen felt that he was blaming herself.

"I'm dealing with Nian Susu and also Qin Junyu. Our goals are the same. Not only don't you help, but you also come and get angry at me?" she asked in disbelief.

Nian Susu and Qin Junyu were about to get married, but Qin Zehai went to Jiangnan in person but failed to get rid of Nian Susu, which made the queen very disappointed.

Now she is on her own and has put Nian Susu in trouble. Isn't this something to be happy about?

"Haven't you sent someone back to Nanchu to get the medicine? Once you get the medicine, and then let Qin Junyu take it, it will be easy to kill him. By then, there will be only Nian Susu left. What can he do?"

"Why do you have to expose yourself at this critical moment to deal with a yellow-haired girl?"

"Even if you can kill Nian Susu, so what? Our biggest enemy is Qin Junyu! I have no real power and no troops, how can I fight him?"

Qin Zehai blurted out all the words that were stuck in his heart.

The queen shook her head, feeling that he didn't understand her or Nian Su Su at all.

Nian Susu is different from those delicate young ladies from aristocratic families. She is brave and resourceful, and her determination and scheming are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The two parted unhappily.

……

On the fifth day after Nian Susu woke up, the wounds on her body showed signs of scabbing and became very itchy every night. She didn't dare scratch them for fear of scratching the wounds when she was sleeping soundly and unconscious, so she would tie her hands to the head of the bed every night.

That evening, just after she finished dinner, Qin Junyu came back.

She was under the peach tree in the yard and he was at the door, staring at each other from a distance.

Her face was still sickly pale, and she was still wearing a thick cloak in April, but her cheeks were red from the heat. Standing under the pink and white trees, she looked like a peach demon in disguise.

Nian Susu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but what came out turned into a cough, "Cough cough cough..." He coughed until his legs bent and his eyes turned red.

When she looked up again, Qin Junyu was already standing in front of her, stroking her back gently, "Are you okay? Have you been taking your medicine obediently these days? Does the wound still hurt?"

Nian Susu was sullen, turned sideways with a pursed mouth, and said resentfully: "It's hard for Your Highness to still remember. I thought Your Highness had long forgotten that there was such a person as me."

She lived in his East Palace, but she hadn't been seen for five days. How could she not be angry? The people here were respectful to her, but no one could talk to her. She was so suffocated.

Nian Susu had been accumulating resentment for several days and finally found an outlet to vent it.

Qin Junyu laughed dumbly, gently twisted her shoulders and made her face him, with a doting smile on his face, "What's wrong? Are you angry? Angry that I didn't come to see you?"

She subconsciously wanted to say no, but suddenly she thought, she was obviously angry and felt wronged, and he asked, why did she insist on saying no? There is nothing wrong with expressing your emotions and sadness, and it can also allow people who care about you to understand what you mean.

She told him righteously, "Yes, I am angry. What do you mean by bringing me back to the East Palace and not caring about me? I don't know anyone here, not even anyone I can talk to."

As she spoke, she felt so wronged and glared at him angrily.

Qin Junyu's heart softened, and he gave in. He held her in his arms, but was afraid of pressing on her wound, so he didn't dare to use too much force. He gently rested his chin on her shoulder, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I didn't expect you to feel insecure in a strange place alone. It's my fault."

"I didn't mean to not come to see you. I was busy collecting evidence these days, and the Queen was also looking for someone, so I had to put in more effort. I thought you wouldn't wake up so quickly, so I didn't go back to the East Palace."

Since he was trying to find out the truth and clear her name, Nian Susu forgave him for the time being.

After they talked for a while, the sky quietly darkened and the moon was above the clouds. Qin Junyu was afraid that Nian Susu would catch a cold from the wind, so he took her back to the palace.

Nian Susu lived very close to Qin Junyu's bedroom. The palace maids mentioned during their chat that this was the place Qin Junyu was going to use as his wedding room, but everything was not ready yet, so it was simply decorated.

Ever since he knew this, Nian Susu felt uncomfortable every time he lay in bed.

They haven't gotten married yet, but Qin Junyu placed her in their future wedding room, which Nian Susu found strange.

However, Qin Junyu did not mention this matter and did not show any strange expression, so she did not intend to ask.

The two of them were drinking tea in front of a small table by the window. The dim moonlight outside the window poured into the room, just enough to illuminate the small world they were in.

Nian Susu was taking medicine and couldn't drink tea, so Qin Junyu had someone send her a few plates of pastries to satisfy her craving.

The same palace maids who served her came, but Nian Susu always felt that their eyes today were a little different from the past. They seemed curious and shocked, and they glanced at her and Qin Junyu from time to time.
