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

[Host, please rush to the Yangxin Palace within ten minutes to take the blame for Nian Qiaoyue! ]

Nian Susu was awakened by the sound of the system. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. The big movement affected her wound, and the pain made her sober up a lot.

She was sure that the warning sound just now was not an illusion. Although she hadn't heard it for a long time, she would never forget the life-threatening alarm sound.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said impatiently, "Stinky system, get out."

[Why do you start cursing people...cursing AI. 】

"What trouble has Nian Qiaoyue gotten into again?"

【Don’t you know? 】

Nian Susu felt a lump in his throat, and then he realized that he had fallen asleep. Qin Junyu took people to confess his crime before the emperor, and the result should be known in the next few days.

She fell back to sleep and had no intention of saving Nian Qiaoyue. No matter what the outcome was, she would never put the blame on herself.

Otherwise, he would not only harm himself, but also stab Qin Junyu in the back.

[Only five minutes left, aren't you leaving yet? ]

The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

Nian Susu had no choice but to take out the "Task Exemption Ticket" from his backpack and cancel the task directly.

The system was stunned by this operation.

Nian Susu fell asleep peacefully.

When I woke up again, it was already noon. It was quiet outside, without a sound. Although it felt good to sleep without being disturbed, I felt extremely insecure when I woke up, as if I had been abandoned by the world.

This is how Nian Susu feels now. She sits on the edge of the bed, looking at the sunlight through the window, her consciousness a little dazed.

"Miss Nian, you're awake." The palace maid's playful and clever voice came from the door, bringing her back to her senses.

She blinked, responded, and went downstairs to let the palace maid help her wash.

The maid's name was Wanyue. She was a lively and cheerful girl. She was about the same age as Zhihua and had a very similar personality. They were both active. Among all the maids serving her, she liked Wanyue the most.

But she had only met Wanyue twice. As she was too noisy, the person in charge was afraid of disturbing her rest and did not often let Wanyue come over.

This is the third time today.

Although we haven't seen each other for many days, Wanyue's outgoing personality has not changed at all. She always smiles when she speaks, and her cheeks are puffed up like a snow-white beauty.

Wan Yue glanced at the door and confirmed that there was no one else. She approached Nian Su Su mysteriously and said, "Miss Nian, there is a result for Miss Qiao Yue's miscarriage."

The people in the Eastern Palace kept their mouths shut as if they had been locked. No matter what was asked, they just shook their heads. It was the first time that Nian Susu heard about things outside the Eastern Palace, and this topic was considered a sensitive one.

"Is it okay to say that?" She curled the corners of her mouth stiffly.

It’s not that she didn’t want to listen, but she was afraid that Wanyue would be punished for talking nonsense.

Since this matter involved her, she could have just asked Qin Junyu directly instead of implicating a little palace maid.

Wanyue helped her tie her hair up, her rosy face reflected in the bronze mirror, "Don't worry, Miss Nian. If it weren't for His Highness's permission, I would never dare to say these words."

Nian Susu suddenly realized that it was Qin Junyu who had instructed him to do so. If that was the case, it would be a waste not to listen.

She raised her eyebrows and signaled Wanyue to continue.

Wanyue was a talkative person, and after getting permission, she dumped out everything she knew. Maybe there was too much information and she couldn't remember it clearly, which resulted in some mismatches. Nian Susu pieced the pieces together herself and came to a rough conclusion.

Qin Junyu brought the doctor before the emperor to confess his guilt. After the emperor learned the inside story, he summoned the queen and Nian Qiaoyue to the Yangxin Palace to face them in person.

Seeing that there were witnesses and that she was physically and mentally exhausted and unable to defend herself, Nian Qiaoyue confessed to what she had done.

The queen tried her best to distance herself from Nian Qiaoyue. She also put all the blame on Nian Qiaoyue for the act of torture, accusing her of deceiving her and leading to her making such a mistake.

Nian Qiaoyue took all the blame.

Considering that the empress was also deceived, the emperor did not believe it at first. After the empress took out ten thousand taels of silver to buy supplements for Nian Susu to replenish his body, the emperor could not say anything.

As for Nian Qiaoyue, he was sentenced to fifty strokes of the cane and executed at Xizhimen three days later.

Although her injustice was finally cleared, Nian Susu was not as relieved as she had imagined. Especially when she heard that Nian Qiaoyue was going to be beaten with fifty boards, her heart suddenly tightened.

It’s not that she is worried about Nian Qiaoyue, but given Nian Qiaoyue’s current physical condition, she simply cannot bear it, which is tantamount to execution.

If Nian Qiaoyue died at the hands of others, she would also be wiped out by the system. Only if she killed Nian Qiaoyue herself could she stay forever.

Thinking of this, Nian Susu couldn't stop trembling.

"What's wrong, Miss Nian? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to ask the imperial physician to take a look?" Wan Yue panicked when she saw that her face looked strange.

Nian Susu held her back and said, "No need, I... just accidentally pulled the wound, it's okay."

Wan Yue's tense face slowly relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered, "I'm glad you're okay. Otherwise, if His Highness knew, he would definitely punish me."

Nian Susu didn't hear her words and was still immersed in his own thoughts.

Three days later.

Today is the day that Nian Qiaoyue will be executed in Xizhimen. Nian Susu woke up from a nightmare before dawn.

The room was dim, and it was pitch black outside as well. The moonlight was cold and clear. It was only about five or six o'clock.

Nian Susu lay back on the bed, and the sweat she had sweated on gradually dried up. She had no desire to sleep at all and could only stare blankly. Thinking that Nian Qiaoyue was about to be tortured, she was struggling over whether to save her or not, and her heart was in turmoil.

Nian Susu closed his eyes and summoned the system with his mind.

Nian Su Su: If Nian Qiao Yue dies unexpectedly, will I disappear as well?

【Yes. 】

[The scapegoat system means that you have to protect Nian Qiaoyue in order to survive in this world. In other words, you and Nian Qiaoyue are bound together. Only if you kill her with your own hands, or she kills you with her own hands, can you both be free.]

Years: ...

That means she has to be saved even if she doesn't want to.

At eight o'clock, the morning light was just right in the east, and Nian Susu walked out of the East Palace smoothly. Surprisingly, no one stopped her. When she met a few palace servants, they even bowed respectfully and made way for her, without asking her where she was going or what she was doing.

Xizhimen.

Nian Susu saw from afar a group of people gathered outside the gate. Instead of going over, she climbed up the city wall and looked down from above.

Nian Qiaoyue was lying on the torture bench surrounded by six or seven guards.

Nian Qiaoyue struggled at first, but became obedient after four people held down her limbs.

The supervising officer said something unknown, and two tall guards carrying sticks stepped forward, ready to start fighting.

Fifty strokes of the cane would have knocked even Qin Junyu unconscious, and it would take half a month to recover, not to mention Nian Qiaoyue who had just had a miscarriage. Even if she could survive it, she would have to spend the rest of her life in bed.
