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

Qin Junyu's face was indifferent, "No defense."

Li Zhongquan smiled and gave a look to his apprentice Lin Shoude.

Lin Shoude understood and stepped forward to give Qin Junyu a helping hand, not daring to actually touch him. "Your Highness, be careful."

Qin Junyu pretended to be serious and took every step carefully. The distance from the door to the hall, which was several dozen steps, felt like he had traveled a thousand miles.

"Father." Qin Junyu bowed and clasped his hands.

The emperor frowned when he saw that he was not in a wheelchair and did not have crutches. "Yu'er, why did you come here by yourself? Didn't the imperial physician say that you need to rest your legs for at least a month before you can walk?"

If he was not well taken care of, he would develop a chronic illness and would be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life. The emperor remembered this very clearly.

He gave a look to Li Zhongquan who followed Qin Junyu in.

Li Zhongquan immediately moved a chair over.

Qin Junyu sat down and said, "Thank you, father. My leg is fine now."

"It would be inappropriate to meet Your Majesty in a wheelchair or on crutches, so I came over here."

The emperor waved his hand and clicked his tongue in disapproval, "You and I are monarch and subject, but we are also father and son. How can a father not feel distressed when his son is injured? As for the etiquette between monarch and subject, it is all for show. Why should we be so serious about it?"

Having said that, Qin Junyu didn't dare to agree and just smiled and agreed.

"I wonder why the emperor suddenly summoned me here?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face was instantly covered with a layer of gloom. He pinched his temples and brows furrowed.

Qin Junyu actually already knew the general idea, but he had not attended court for some time. He was recuperating in the East Palace and was almost oblivious to what was happening outside. Speaking rashly would only make the emperor suspicious, so he chose to play dumb and wait for the emperor to speak first.

The emperor sighed heavily and looked at his son with a helpless and tired look. He seldom showed this expression in front of outsiders because he was a monarch above everyone else. Once people knew that he was tired of serving, someone would immediately replace him.

His emotions are the enemy's weapons to attack him.

"Yu'er, there's a war."

"The Northern Wei attacked our country. Jian Ting led an army of 100,000 and has been fighting bloody battles for three days. Although our weapons and tactics are better than the enemy's, we are no match for their numerical advantage."

The emperor sighed again, "After the battle with Southern Chu, we have been severely damaged and lost most of our troops. Now we have little chance of winning against Northern Wei."

Qin Junyu followed his words and analyzed: "Based on Jian Ting's experience in leading troops in battle, it is not a problem for a 100,000-man army to deal with them for half a month. Half a month is enough time to gather troops from all over to support the front line, and even borrow troops from friendly neighboring countries."

How could the emperor not know this?

"Moving all the troops from all over the country to the northern border can indeed fight against the Northern Wei, but the tiger talisman for the troops of several large military camps is in the hands of Prince Ren."

Qin Junyu smiled almost undetectably, "My father asked for it, so how can my uncle not give it to me?"

The emperor suddenly remembered something and sneered, "I asked him indirectly, but he played dumb and refused to give it to me."

Qin Junyu changed the subject, "The emperor's uncle may have his reasons. If all the troops are transferred to the front line, it would be the best result if Jian Ting can hold on. If he can't hold on..."

If they fail to hold on, the Northern Wei army's swords will point directly to Shengjing, and they will be able to occupy the entire Liuli without any effort.

If they keep their troops, they still have a chance of survival.

The emperor shook his head, "This is not the reason why he is unwilling to hand over the tiger talisman."

Qin Junyu: "The emperor's uncle has indeed gone too far recently."

Qin Zehai stepped up his efforts to recruit soldiers and purchase arms. At a time when war was raging and the country was in danger, he refused to hand over the tiger talisman for his own selfish desires.

Selfishness is one thing, but the more important thing is that if Qin Zehai has rebellious intentions, the emperor's throne will be in jeopardy.

The emperor summoned him to discuss the matter in order to find a way to force Qin Zehai to hand over the tiger talisman.

However, Qin Junyu injured both legs and had not been involved in government affairs for more than ten days. Some ministers in the court prepared for the worst and tried to curry favor with Qin Zehai. Qin Junyu lost the support of the people again, and the emperor was very anxious.

Rather than letting his younger brother take power, he would rather let his son be the only one in power.

Qin Junyu came out of the Yangxin Palace and took a deep breath.

Li Zhongquan walked him down the stairs and said meaningfully, "Your Highness, things are going to change in this imperial city."

Qin Junyu glanced at him, believing that this statement was not groundless. Li Zhong was the emperor's personal eunuch, and he got first-hand information. He was also the person who understood the emperor best. If he could say this, something big must have happened.

-

June 15th was the day when Qin Junyu’s half-month poison took effect.

Qin Junyu struggled to return to the east wing. The bloodstains spread from the inner corridor into the room. He took one step deep and one step shallow. He was about to fall down when he was caught by Nian Susu.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Nian Susu looked for him all day but couldn't find him. He was so anxious that he almost asked A Falcon to go to Tianxuan Villa to ask for him.

The poison in his body was triggered half a month ago and it was suppressed with great difficulty. This time the poison would surely cause him great pain. She had anticipated this and had originally planned to have him stay in the room so that he could be ready to respond to any emergency. However, she did not expect not to see him all day today.

Qin Junyu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he vomited several mouthfuls of blood. The symptoms were exactly the same as those of the poison on his wedding night.

Nian Susu helped him to the bedside, where Qin Junyu fell. His face gradually turned purple and his lips turned black.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Crown Princess!" It was A Falcon's voice.

Nian Susu didn't care about him. He responded with "Come in" and was busy taking off Qin Junyu's clothes.

Axuan pushed the door open holding a charcoal brazier. With his experience from last time, Axuan lit the charcoal brazier with ease, placed it beside the bed, and took out a pack of silver needles from his arms and handed it over.

Nian Susu took the silver needle, and Axuan was responsible for helping Qin Junyu take off his shirt.

"Princess, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Prepare medicine, boil the medicine." Nian Susu wiped the sweat off his forehead and started to give acupuncture.

A Falcon rushed out of the room at full speed.

Qin Junyu was in so much pain that he was twitching and his limbs were shaking, which made the acupuncture much more difficult.

His bulging blood vessels had turned purple, and there was a tendency for the toxicity to increase again. If it happened again, his limbs would be crippled.

Nian Susu was so anxious that she burst into tears. She pressed his arm and gave him an injection.

"Your Highness, hold on a little longer, it will be fine soon."

"Your Highness..."

After half an hour of hard work, Qin Junyu's condition finally stabilized.

Nian Susu was exhausted and his whole body was wet as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Qin Junyu was sleeping soundly, breathing long and evenly, his upper body was covered with silver needles. Ah Falcon was cleaning up the bloodstains in the cleaning corridor at the moment. The surroundings were quiet, the wind was clear and the moon was bright outside the window, and everything was quiet.

There was medicine next to it, which Axuan had just prepared.
