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

Yun Qing was flattered and it took her a long time to react. She was so excited that she staggered when she stood up on her knees. Nian Susu smiled and helped her up.

Yun Qing hugged Qin Junyu's clothes, her happiness beyond words.

"Thank you, Princess!"

"I will definitely not let the Crown Princess down!"

Washing clothes was just an excuse. In fact, Nian Susu had already recognized her. She just hoped that Yun Qing could keep calm and not follow Jingxue's footsteps.

She believed Yun Qing was not that kind of person.

……

Nian Su helped Qin Junyu onto the bed and then lay down himself.

It was not the first time that the two of them lay side by side like this, but they still felt nervous and awkward. The red quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water on the bed reminded them that they had just gotten married.

Nian Susu helped Qin Junyu pull the quilt and moved aside.

He was infected with a cold poison and would feel chilly every night, so he had to cover himself with a quilt when sleeping even in this hot June season.

As usual, she felt his pulse and confirmed that the poison had not spread before she lay back down with peace of mind. Qin Junyu raised his arm to hold her hand, but because he didn't have enough strength, he didn't hold it tightly.

The hand that Nian Susu pulled back froze, and the place where he had held it still felt warm and itchy.

She didn't hesitate, but took his hand back and held it tightly.

"Take another medicinal bath tomorrow and you'll be able to walk normally and use your hands and feet." She couldn't hide her excitement in her tone.

Nian Susu turned over and lay on the pillow to look at him, "Are you happy?"

She could tell that Qin Junyu was in great pain during these seven days when he couldn't move his hands or feet. Although he had never shown his negative side in front of her, she knew it.

Qin Junyu forced a smile, "Happy. Fortunately, I have you. It is my blessing to marry you."

Nian Susu was happy and shy. She lowered her head and laughed for a long time before she dared to raise it. She shook his hand and said, "When you get better, let's go to the city wall to watch the fireworks again, okay?"

"On my birthday, I will set off fireworks for you."

Her birthday is on June 17th, which is only 15 days away.

In the past, she had celebrated her birthdays with her family at the Prime Minister’s Residence. This year’s birthday was the first time she celebrated it as “Qin Junyu’s wife,” which was very unusual.

For Nian Susu, this is a change of identity and a new life. Qin Junyu has made an indispensable contribution to this, so she wants to set off fireworks for him.

In Qin Junyu's opinion, it was more like a gift symbolizing farewell.

He thought about it, his eyes gradually dimmed, and his smile disappeared.

Nian Susu thought he didn't like it, so he consoled him, "If you don't want to watch the fireworks, how about we go release river lanterns? Or... go find that old man and make another sugar man!"

Qin Junyu looked at her quietly, his eyes full of sorrow, neither saying good nor bad.

"What's wrong?" Nian Susu finally noticed that something was wrong with his mood.

She held her chin in her hand, held him tightly, and looked worried.

"Lingling." Qin Junyu called her name earnestly.

"I'm here."

"You should know better than me what the consequences will be if we can't find the last herbal ingredient within a month. Every time I bring it up, you comfort me and change the subject, but this is not something you can solve by escaping."

"You always encourage me to face difficulties bravely. What about you? Why can't you face the facts?"

Qin Junyu was very calm when he said these two sentences, so calmly that it seemed as if he was talking about someone else. Only then did Nian Susu realize that she was the one who had not been strong enough.

Her tears suddenly fell and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.

Qin Junyu raised his other hand with difficulty, touched her head, and comforted her silently.

"I will definitely think of a way." Nian Susu muttered several times, and she could no longer tell whether she was saying it to Qin Junyu or to numb herself.

Qin Junyu lightly tapped the back of her neck and gently pulled her down, and she naturally lay on his chest. The sound of her strong heartbeat did not sound like that of a person who was seriously ill.

That night, Qin Junyu talked to her a lot. Although he tried his best to hide his thoughts, Nian Susu could hear that he was making arrangements for his funeral arrangements.

If he died, what would she do...

If he died, how would the Eastern Palace be managed...

If he died...

Nian Susu didn't dare to think about how sad he would be if he died.

Qin Junyu fell asleep beside her, his breathing long and steady. She tossed and turned without feeling sleepy at all.

Nian Susu closed his eyes and used his mind to enter the small dark room where souls were temporarily placed.

The system is also there, but it is still a dark shadow and its face cannot be clearly seen.

Before Nian Susu could speak, the system spoke first, [Host, the item that can bring the dead back to life that you have has already been used by Hong Nian Qiao Yue, you won't forget it, right? ]

Nian Susu was speechless. This system, relying on its ability to read minds, always hurt her heart.

Nian Susu sat on the ground. After all, she was a conscious figure, so she didn't have so many scruples. She rested her chin on her knees with her elbows, and stared at the system. "Can you give me another resurrection pill?"

The system answered impartially: [No, the system's props can only be obtained by spinning the wheel.]

Nian Susu: “I don’t believe it.”

The last time she asked it if there was any way to stay in this world, it said no. It only told the truth after several rounds of questioning. This time, she would not believe the system's lies.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Nian Susu saw the system tremble, which was obviously a sign of guilt.

Nian Susu: "I don't want you to give it to me for free. I will exchange it with you for silver, or experience points."

She was planning on staying anyway, so 999 experience points were worthless.

The system was silent for a while before answering her, "You can trade with me, but all your accumulated experience points, silver and props will be reset to zero, and from now on you will not have the chance to spin the wheel when completing tasks."

In other words, if she exchanged for the life-saving pill, not only would she lose everything she had now, but she would also not be able to save it back in the future.

Everything else is easy, but the system props make Nian Susu hesitant.

[How is it? Are you reluctant to give it up? Having props is like having a plug-in. In many cases, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and even change your fate. If you don't have props, your future will be a thousand times more difficult. I don't tell you for your own good.]

Nian Susu was dejected, with his neck drooping like a withered flower.

After a long stalemate with the system, Nian Susu said nothing and went back.

The moment his consciousness returned to his body, Nian Susu suddenly opened his eyes and saw Qin Junyu still lying beside him, feeling much more relieved.

……

After lunch, the palace maids returned to their respective posts to take up their duties.

Jingxue, Yunqing and Lingxiu all work in the laundry department. Although Lingxiu is timid, she is serious and responsible in her work and has never made any mistakes.

On the other hand, Jingxue, if others can wash 100 pieces of clothes a day, she can only wash 50 pieces. It’s not because she is unskilled in the job or anything else, but simply because she always finds excuses to be lazy.
