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

Nian Susu was oppressed by his powerful aura and couldn't breathe. He pushed his chest with a red face and escaped from his clutches.

Nian Susu walked forward a few steps, turned his back to Qin Junyu, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Qin Junyu was still not satisfied.

"I haven't settled the score with you yet, don't try to avoid the topic." Nian Susu pretended to be calm.

She had said just now in the carriage that she would ask him about the matter of Xuan Ji. Qin Junyu knew he was in the wrong and glossed over it. Now he wants to divert attention by acting like a hooligan. How could Nian Susu let him succeed?

"Cough cough cough..." Qin Junyu's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. He tactically drank a sip of tea, moved a stool and sat down.

Nian Susu sat in front of him and started interrogation mode.

"Tell me, what's going on? I won't ask anymore. Just tell me everything you need to say."

She crossed her legs and looked just like a judge, with an arrogant attitude.

Qin Junyu didn't know where to start, his eyes looked innocent and pitiful.

Nian Susu was determined not to be soft-hearted. "Before, I didn't care because you were poisoned. Now don't think you can get away with it anymore."

God knows how shocked, helpless and unbelievable she was when she took Qin Junyu's pulse on the wedding night and found it was exactly the same as Xuan Ji's. She realized that these two people were the same person.

Before this, she had never doubted Xuan Ji's identity.

Qin Junyu touched his ear guiltily.

"I established Tianxuan Villa six years ago, which was one year after I was poisoned. I used all my connections to look for the antidote, but I couldn't find it. At that time, a Jianghu organization that specialized in collecting information came to me and said that as long as they paid a high enough price, there would be no news that they couldn't get."

Nian Susu couldn't wait to ask: "And you believed it? Were you deceived?"

Qin Junyu nodded reluctantly, "Yes. I paid 70% of the deposit, but they have been looking for me for a year and still have no news. They won't refund the deposit."

"So I founded Tianxuan Villa. After participating in the martial arts competition, I became famous. The scale of the business grew bigger and bigger, and now we have the Tianxuan Villa you know, with spies all over the world."

"Because of my special identity, I can only wear a mask to show myself to others, and because of this, I have escaped the persecution of the Queen and Prince Ren."

Nian Susu suddenly realized. He never expected that the original intention of establishing Tianxuan Villa was just to find an antidote for the owner of the villa.

She stroked her chin and looked at Qin Junyu with a gaze so sharp that it almost burned a hole in his face.

"So... you knew Yu Yue was Li Yaoyuan when you were in Wu County?"

"Of course." Qin Junyu was a little proud when he said this, "I was the one who chose the address of Wujun."

Nian Susu recalled an infuriating incident. "I was about to marry you, but you used Xuan Ji's identity to ask me if I wanted to elope with you?!"

Qin Junyu smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

If she agrees, that's fine.

Nian Susu was so angry that she became like a pufferfish. She stared at him silently. The more she thought about the past, the angrier she felt. She was actually being played around by a man.

In order to please her, Qin Junyu handed over the key to the warehouse.

"I was going to give this to you, but so many things have happened recently that I haven't found the opportunity."

Nian Susu held the golden key in his hand. It was heavy. Even the key was made of gold. He couldn’t imagine how many good things were in the warehouse.

"How much money do you have?" she asked curiously.

"You'll know once you see it." Qin Junyu smiled and kept the secret.

……

In early June, Xiao Jianting, who led the Liuli army all the way north, finally sent back news that they had arrived at the border between Liuli and Northern Wei and were setting up camp. Troops were also being sent to guard the surrounding cities, and they would arrive at their base soon.

Qin Junyu was specially allowed by the emperor to not attend court, and he heard the news from his spies.

Because the information they obtained was not complete, the two decided to go to Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Mansion.

General Xiao looked much older than before. His two sons had gone to the battlefield, and his daughter was traveling around the world with no known whereabouts. He was worried every day, fearing that some bad news would come back. No wonder he looked so much older.

"Jian Ting said that the Northern Wei army seemed to be making unusual movements. A few days ago, a small group of their troops were seen surveying the terrain at the border. War is only a matter of time, sooner or later." General Xiao sighed heavily.

He had fought in wars all his life, so he naturally knew how dangerous the battlefield was. He felt it was dangerous just by analyzing the gap in the strength of the two sides.

If Liuli had not been badly injured in the battle with Southern Chu, what would the small Northern Wei have to fear?

The Northern Wei Dynasty took advantage of their insufficient reserve forces and launched an attack, which was not a gentleman's act. However, the war between the two countries resulted in rivers of blood and heavy casualties. The winner was the king and the loser was the bandit. There was no such thing as benevolence or righteousness.

Qin Junyu was thoughtful, "Besides the 100,000 troops brought by Jian Ting, how many reinforcements went there to support them?"

General Xiao shook his head regretfully, "Less than fifty thousand."

The surrounding cities are all small cities with no garrison strategy. The nearest military camp to the north can only send out 30,000 troops at most.

Once the Northern Wei breaks through the first line of defense, the subsequent cities will be captured one by one in a few days. The Northern Wei army will march straight in and Shengjing will fall soon.

By then the country will be destroyed, the family will be ruined, Liuli will no longer exist, and the people will be displaced.

Qin Junyu closed his eyes, not daring to imagine what the scene would be like at that time.

Although Nian Susu did not understand military affairs, he could realize the seriousness of the matter from their conversation. To put it simply, a war was about to break out, and they had fewer people than the Northern Wei Dynasty. Xiao Jianting might not be able to hold on. Once the border defense line was broken, the checkpoints behind it would be useless, and it would be only a matter of time before Shengjing was captured.

When the two came out of Xiao Mansion, they both looked worried.

-

The emperor had been dealing with state affairs for several days and was exhausted. He came out of the imperial study and felt the sunlight above his head. He felt it was a little unreal. He looked up and was in a trance for a moment.

Walking forward without purpose or direction, he arrived at the gate of Zhongcui Palace, but he did not want to see the Queen.

Next to the Zhongcui Palace is the Xiangru Palace. Thinking of his foolish son, the emperor felt heartbroken. He took a deep breath and walked into the Xiangru Palace with his hands behind his back.

Hezhu and Chunhuan were lazing around in the yard, one sitting on the swing and the other pushing it from behind. They were having a lot of fun and didn't notice a bright yellow figure approaching them.

The emperor rarely showed his overbearing aura. Perhaps it was because the guard of honor did not follow him today. He walked here alone. The two palace maids were smiling happily. He even felt reluctant to break this beautiful scene, instead of being angry at them for neglecting their duties.

"Where is Prince Qing?" the emperor asked, standing behind the two of them.

Chunhuan was startled. No one in the palace dared not to recognize the voice. Although she didn't see anyone, her body's subconscious reaction made her turn around and kneel down.
