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

Qin Junyu didn't notice, and the palace maids put down the cakes and left.

Nian Susu's mouth tasted bitter after taking the medicine and he had no appetite. He only glanced at the pastries but had no intention of eating them.

"The man has been captured and briefly questioned. He admitted that the medicine he prescribed for Nian Qiaoyue was not an ordinary pregnancy-preserving medicine, but a stabilizer that could keep the dead fetus in the womb."

"Tomorrow morning, I will take him to see the emperor. Then the truth will be revealed and you won't have to bear those unwarranted stigmas."

Qin Junyu glanced at the moon outside the window, his eyes a little lonely, "When you feel better, I will have someone send you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Prime Minister Nian and Madam Nian are very worried about you."

Nian Susu listened silently, with no expression on his face, but he was very moved in his heart.

She knew that he was always reliable in his work, so she was able to rest assured and recuperate these days. Even though there was no news from him, she did not deliberately ask anyone for information.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness." She lowered her eyes and her cheeks flushed.

Qin Junyu cleared his throat, and what he said next made him blush: "We will be husband and wife in less than a month, and I should do this. Why should we thank each other?"

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Nian Susu felt hot all over and her heart beat faster. She took off her cloak and threw it aside, but she didn't feel the symptoms improve.

Qin Junyu didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly looked around and said, "Even the room you live in now..."

"Your Highness!" Nian Susu seemed to realize what he was about to say and interrupted him quickly.

He was stunned and stared at her blankly.

Nian Susu was also stunned. She did that subconsciously and actually didn’t know what to say next.

Qin Junyu was still waiting for her to continue, so she could only shift her gaze to the window guiltily and force a smile, "Uh...it's getting late, His Highness just came back from outside, he must be exhausted, why not go to bed early."

Nian Susu didn't dare to look at him.

Qin Junyu thought that he had disturbed her rest. Thinking that she was still in pain from her serious injuries and had just woken up, he actually talked to her for such a long time without considering the patient's feelings. It was really wrong!

He felt extremely guilty.

"I didn't think it through." Qin Junyu nodded and stood up. "In that case, you should go to bed early. I will come to see you another day."

He walked out in a gloomy mood.

Nian Susu always felt that what she just said sounded strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange about it.

The next day, Yang Yuerong went to the palace to visit Nian Susu.

As soon as Yang Yuerong saw Nian Susu, she burst into tears like a dam bursting, especially when she saw her daughter's arms wrapped in gauze, she was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

She also wanted Nian Susu to take off his shirt so that she could see his injuries, but Nian Susu felt embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.

"Mother, I heard that my father went to the palace to plead for me that day. Did the emperor make things difficult for him?"

Speaking of this, Yang Yuerong's attention was finally diverted from her injury, but her expression was not much better.

"Your father is also a bold man. He even dared to threaten the emperor." Yang Yuerong patted her chest in fear. "He said that if the emperor did not agree to let you go home to recuperate, he would take you away even if it cost him his own life."

She sighed, "Fortunately, Jun Yu is a responsible child. He sent you to the East Palace early on, forcing the emperor to agree, so your father did not act impulsively."

Nian Susu was deeply moved by what she heard, but one thing caught her attention. She tightened her features in disbelief: "Jun Yu?!"

Why are you calling me so intimately?

What happened during the days she was away?

Qin Junyu has successfully taken down her parents?

Yang Yuerong was surprised to see her reaction. She felt that there was nothing wrong with her. "You are getting married soon. Although he is the crown prince, your father and I are his elders and his father-in-law. What's wrong with calling him Jun Yu?"

Nian Susu's mouth twitched twice, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

Yang Yuerong thought she was worried that Qin Junyu would be angry if he heard it, so she tried to comfort and explain.

Nian Susu didn't hear a word she said because she knew Qin Junyu would not be angry. Not only would he not be angry, he would be secretly happy.

"Jun Yu..." Nian Susu felt so cheesy just reading these two words silently that she couldn't say them out loud even if she was beaten to death.

Yang Yuerong came to see Nian Susu, not just to see how she was recovering, but to carry out a task assigned to her by someone.

She took out a letter from her sleeve. "This is what Jian Ting asked me to give you. He also said that after you read it, you will understand why he returned to Shengjing."

Nian Susu took the letter. The light piece of paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She pinched a corner of it, her fingertips turned pale and her expression became strange.

Yang Yuerong didn't notice and sighed, "I heard from your father that the enemy troops have frequently crossed the border and caused trouble in the past month. A large-scale war may break out in the next three months."

"The Emperor has already gathered his troops to prepare to go to Northern Wei to fight. Northern Wei is different from Southern Xinjiang. Their soldiers are experienced in combat and their troops are well-trained. We just had a truce with Southern Xinjiang last year. We don't have sufficient reserves of troops and food. Once a fight breaks out, we are likely to lose..."

Yang Yuerong was filled with worry, as if she had already seen the future scenes of war, broken families and deaths.

The news of the war has been blocked and the people are still unaware of it, otherwise it would have caused panic.

Nian Susu held the letter in his hand, his hands shaking a little, "Master Xiao asked the emperor to go to the northern border to lead troops to defend against the enemy, right?"

Yang Yuerong sighed silently and closed her eyes, "Yes."

General Xiao is old and his physical strength is not as good as before. The journey is long and it is unknown when he will be able to return. It is most appropriate for Xiao Jianting to go. In this way, as a son, he can also protect his father.

Nian Susu recalled what Xiao Jianting said at Yuanlai Restaurant on the first day he returned to Beijing.

He said that after she married Qin Junyu, he would choose an appropriate time to drive Su Yue out of the house and divorce Wang Yuejiao. He would be alone and apply to the emperor for permission to guard the border and would never return to Beijing without being summoned.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jianting had to leave before they could get married. After this departure, I don’t know if he will be able to come back.

Nian Susu's mood became increasingly heavy.

"Do you have anything to say to him?" Yang Yuerong asked hesitantly.

Nian Susu: “When are we leaving?”

Yang Yuerong: "It's not certain yet. It depends on the emperor's opinion. The battle report was only sent to Shengjing a few days ago, and the response plan has not yet come out."

She nodded, "No more."

Yang Yuerong told her to take good care of her health and not to worry too much. Her family was preparing things for the wedding, and she only needed to put on her wedding dress and happily marry into the Eastern Palace, and she didn't have to worry about anything else.
