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

There was no movement behind the screen.

A Shun's face turned red, and his fists almost broke when he thought about what Nian Susu had just said.

"Madams, His Royal Highness just said that the Crown Princess went to bed at 11:00 a.m. and she didn't feel well when she woke up this morning. Her legs hurt when she walked."

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't go and pay my respects and offer tea to the Emperor and Empress. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

A Falcon's chin almost touched his chest, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into immediately.

I don’t know how the Crown Princess came up with such a shameful reason.

The two maids blushed, thinking back to what had happened just now. Combined with the mess in the room, they immediately understood what was going on.

They didn't dare to ask any more questions about this embarrassing thing and left as if they were escaping.

Ah Falcon breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a fish in water, and finally alive.

At this time, Nian Susu appeared from behind the screen and teased A Xuan: "What's wrong, A Xuan, are you embarrassed? You will be embarrassed someday in the future."

Ah Falcon didn't understand what this meant, nor did he want to understand. He left in a hurry, saying "Your Highness's medicine is still cooking. I'm leaving first."

Nian Susu couldn't help laughing. The master and servant were exactly the same, blushing at the slightest provocation.

-

The two maids chirped all the way back, and only stopped when they approached the entrance of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

The Emperor, Empress and Concubine Ning were in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Although newlyweds offer tea to their parents, Qin Junyu's biological mother is no longer around, so the Queen does it instead. Concubine Ning wants to join in the fun, and since the Emperor dotes on her, the Queen can't say anything since she is not his biological mother, after all.

Concubine Ning leaned against the emperor, feeding him grapes and cakes, giggling and whispering, completely ignoring the empress.

Although the empress had no feelings for the emperor and did not feel envious or jealous when she saw this scene, she still found it annoying and disgusting enough to make people feel sick.

Li Zhongquan brought in two maids, and Concubine Ning immediately sat up straight and behaved properly.

Only the nanny came; Qin Junyu and Nian Susu did not follow behind, so Concubine Ning was exposed.

“Reporting to the Emperor and Empress, this is what I cut from the Crown Prince and Crown Princess’ bed.” One of the maids opened a handkerchief, revealing a bloody bed sheet wrapped inside, and presented it.

Li Zhongquan took the bed sheet and went to the emperor first, then to the empress. After they both looked at it, someone put it away.

The emperor asked, "Where are the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess? Have they said when they will come to pay their respects?"

The nanny was trembling with fear, and no one dared to speak first.

"Just say it when I tell you to. Why hide it?" Concubine Ning looked impatient, thinking that these two people were being too slow.

They are the Queen's people, so naturally they don't listen to Concubine Ning.

The queen had no choice but to speak out: "The emperor is asking you questions, just tell the truth."

"Yes." The maids exchanged glances, and one of them said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Crown Princess went to bed at 3:00 pm last night, and when she woke up in the morning, she felt unwell and could hardly walk. Therefore... it is inconvenient for her to come and pay her respects today. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

She was afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on her, so she spoke carefully.

One person added: "When the servants passed by, the room's underwear and clothes were piled messily on the floor. The prince and princess were reluctant to leave and started playing behind the screen again."

"Ahem..." The emperor was embarrassed.

The Queen's expression also became strange, except for Concubine Ning, who remained calm and even laughed so hard that her body shook.

She leaned against the emperor and said half-jokingly and half-coquettishly, "Ah, young people are full of youth and vigor. It's normal for them to not know how to be restrained. Your Majesty, please forgive them. When can't we offer tea? It doesn't have to be today."

The emperor nodded in agreement. He had been convinced by Concubine Ning, but he still looked up and asked the queen: "Queen, what do you think?"

The Queen was stunned to react when she was suddenly mentioned. She absentmindedly raised a fake smile and said, "I will obey the Emperor."

The emperor was satisfied. "Go and tell the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess when they are ready to come over and offer tea. There is no rush."

"But for the sake of your health, you still need to exercise moderation."

The two maids took their leave.

Concubine Ning's smile became a little unnatural, and she looked at the Queen thoughtfully. The Queen's eyes were sinister and somewhat complacent, which made her feel that something was wrong.

Qin Junyu and Nian Susu are not people without rules. The actual situation must not be as the nanny said. Something must have happened.

Concubine Ning clenched her fists and felt heavy-hearted.

East Palace.

Zhihua went into the room and cleaned up the bloodstains on the floor. Seeing Nian Su helping the weak Qin Junyu back to bed, she tactfully did not ask the reason.

"Miss, I'm going back to the side room first. Call me if you need anything."

Zhihua was Nian Susu's maid who came with her as a dowry. She lived in a side room in the east wing, which was only a hundred steps away from each other. Nian Susu asked her to pack her bags and count her dowry first. After all, the things in the hundred or so boxes had not been stored yet. Here, Zhihua was the only person she could use.

Zhihua left as she was told.

"Cough cough cough..." Qin Junyu sighed very lightly, so lightly that it almost seemed like an illusion. However, Nian Susu still heard it and sat down beside the bed to accompany him quietly.

The two were silent, staring at each other.

A Xuan prepared the medicine and brought it over, and asked about the details of Qin Junyu's poisoning.

Nian Susu told him solemnly, "Your Highness has been poisoned for seven years. Logically speaking, drinking medicine for such a long time should have stabilized the toxicity. It is difficult for ordinary poisons to conflict or match it. Therefore, the person who poisoned you is likely to have made a new poison based on the original poison."

In this way, we can conclude that the person who poisoned Qin Junyu yesterday was the same person who poisoned Qin Junyu seven years ago.

"Could it be that they want to poison His Highness to death?" Ah Falcon's tone became excited.

Nian Susu did not comment, "Yes. Your Highness originally had three years to find an antidote, but now..."

Ah Falcon's pupils suddenly shrank: "What about now?"

Nian Susu lowered his eyes, clasped his hands nervously, and subconsciously glanced at Qin Junyu out of the corner of his eye.

His eyes were calm, as if he was listening to something insignificant.

A Falcon's huge reaction was in stark contrast to his.

"If you actively cooperate with the treatment, you still have one month. If you ignore it, you only have half a month."

"That means the next time the poison takes effect, he will die suddenly."

Having said this, the faces of the three became extremely heavy, especially Ah Falcon, who felt as if the sky had fallen. He staggered back a few steps, his eyes red with sadness.

"Your Highness..."

Nian Susu looked at Qin Junyu, unable to tell whether he felt distressed or sympathetic. They had been married for only one day and already faced such a major change. It would be difficult for anyone to accept.

But she is not an ordinary woman. Even if Qin Junyu really cannot be saved, she can live well on her own and not be anyone's appendage.
