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

In the chaos, Nian Susu was pushed by someone and fell to the ground, watching Qin Junyu being helped back to the room.

The housekeeper ordered everyone to disperse. Lingxiu was about to leave when she saw Yunqing standing there motionless. She stepped forward and pushed Yunqing: "Let's go. Let's not get involved in the masters' affairs. It would be bad if we get into trouble."

After so many years in the palace, they had heard of the masters scheming against each other, calculating against each other, and finally letting the subordinates take the blame. The Eastern Palace only served the crown prince, so they had never experienced that. But now there was a crown princess, and they didn't know what her temperament was, so it was always better to be careful.

A few people asked a few more questions and were scolded by the housekeeper. Yun Qing smiled at Lingxiu and said, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. You go back first. I'll go to the housekeeper to get some medicine later."

"Okay then." Lingxiu tugged at her clothes in embarrassment. She had no intention of accompanying Yunqing, she just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. "Then I'll go back, you be careful."

After saying that, she lowered her head and hurried away with the crowd.

Nian Susu couldn't help but want to laugh. After what happened tonight, everyone would know tomorrow that the Crown Prince had broken his legs. It would be natural for him to refuse to attend all activities, and Qin Junyu could just focus on recuperating and detoxifying.

"Crown Princess." A crisp voice suddenly came from behind.

Nian Susu looked back and saw a girl dressed as a palace maid squatting beside her, nodding her head and lowering her eyebrows, with a respectful attitude.

This was the first time a servant from the Eastern Palace spoke to her.

Nian Susu suppressed his emotions and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Crown Princess, my name is Yun Qing." Yun Qing raised her eyes slightly and gave her a suggestive look, "Your Highness has injured his leg and must need help. It just so happens that I know some pharmacology. If the Crown Princess doesn't mind my clumsy hands, I can help boil the medicine."

Nian Susu suddenly realized and looked at the palace maid who called herself Yun Qing thoughtfully.

She has always had an accurate eye for people, and Yun Qing gave her the impression of being an ambitious yet tactful person who knew when to advance and when to retreat.

"Do you understand pharmacology?" Nian Susu asked vigilantly.

If this palace maid understood pharmacology, she would not be kept around, otherwise she would definitely be able to see that the medicine Qin Junyu drank was not for treating his leg injury.

Besides, she didn't know anyone in the Eastern Palace. What if Yun Qing was an undercover agent sent by the Queen or another palace? Wouldn't it be dangerous to keep her around?

The mere fact that she suddenly came up to talk to him and recommended herself was enough to make people wonder if she had ulterior motives.

Yun Qing lowered her head, feeling timid, "Replying to the Crown Princess, I am self-taught and can only recognize some medicinal herbs. I can't say that I understand them."

Nian Susu breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fine if she could only recognize the medicinal materials. Keeping her here could prevent someone from tampering with the medicine.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yun Qing became a little panicked.

Nian Susu glanced towards the courtyard gate and saw Axuan coming with the imperial physician. She hurriedly said, "You go back first. No one is needed here for the time being. I will call you if I need anything." Then she walked towards Axuan.

Yun Qing had no choice but to leave unhappily.

The imperial physician entered the room to take Qin Junyu's pulse. Jingxue and a group of guards retreated, but she did not leave immediately.

After a long time, Nian Susu and Axuan came out with the imperial physician. The housekeeper came to check the situation and his face changed when he saw Jingxue. However, because the Crown Princess was there, he did not drive them away immediately.

The imperial physician looked solemn and sighed repeatedly: "Your Highness's condition is not good. Both legs are severely fractured. You need to stay in bed for at least a month to recover completely. Otherwise, there will be sequelae, which will be bad."

Nian Susu was terrified and said, "Ah? So serious? Then your highness cannot leave the house for this month!"

Ah Falcon nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Nian Susu asked the housekeeper to send the imperial physician back to the Imperial Hospital. The housekeeper winked at Jingxue and said, "You go."

Jingxue evaded the question: "Housekeeper, it's late at night, I don't dare to walk alone at night, you should go."

The housekeeper glanced at Nian Susu, didn't dare to say anything else, and led the imperial physician away.

A Shun took the prescription to get the medicine, leaving Nian Su Su and Jing Xue looking at each other in bewilderment.

Jingxue's eyes lost their sharpness, and she deliberately said with a flattering look, "Crown Princess."

Nian Susu was puzzled, wondering why all the people had left but this palace maid was still here.

"Are you okay?"

Jingxue smiled and said, "I am Jingxue. I used to serve His Highness. At that time, the Crown Princess didn't know His Highness yet, so she didn't know."

"Oh..." Nian Susu seemed to understand, "I really don't know what's going on in the East Palace. I don't know you, what do you want to say?"

Jingxue: "Your Highness has injured his leg and needs to be taken care of by someone. I would like to stay in the front yard to take care of Your Highness and the Crown Princess. I beg for your permission, Crown Princess."

She folded her arms, knelt down straight, and spoke in a sincere tone and with a genuine attitude.

Nian Susu took a few steps back and finally realized that her purpose was the same as Yun Qing's, but she was not as smart as Yun Qing, and her purpose was too obvious, which made people feel disgusted.

She had heard that Qin Junyu didn't like to have palace maids serving him nearby, so almost all the palace maids could only do odd jobs and hard work in the back. It was normal for them to take the opportunity to come to the front yard. Nian Susu even admired Jingxue and Yunqing for having the courage and ambition to fight for themselves.

But she has her own criteria for selecting people, and it is not enough to just have courage and ambition.

Jingxue bravely raised her head to look at her, "Does the Crown Princess think that I am not capable enough? Or... is there another reason?"

For example, she was worried that she was too beautiful and would attract the prince's attention, thus taking away his favor.

It is not uncommon for palace maids to step on the empress to gain power. A young lady like Nian Susu must have been taught by her mother or nanny to be wary of the people around her to avoid being stabbed in the back.

Jingxue knew that she was pretty, so it was normal for the Crown Princess to be worried.

Nian Susu didn’t know what she was thinking. He thought she was just unwilling to accept it, so he pressed her to the bottom of the matter.

She didn't explain and gave Jingxue the same answer as Yunqing.

Although Jingxue was unwilling, she did not dare to offend Nian Susu, so she had to go back.

Caiyue Pavilion.

When Jingxue came back, most people had already gone to bed, but there was still a light on on one bed.

It was a large dormitory room with every three beds separated by a cabinet. Jingxue slept with Yunqing and Lingxiu, and the bed with the light on was hers.

The dim light was only enough to illuminate a small area. Lingxiu had already fallen asleep. Yunqing sat with his back against the wall, his eyes blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Jingxue walked to the bed and asked while taking off her shoes.

Because everyone was asleep, she deliberately lowered her voice.

Yun Qing's eyes flickered and he glanced at her back. Instead of answering, he asked, "Why did you come back just now?" His tone was not good and could even be considered a question.
