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

"Who is it?" The guard drew his sword and held it across his horse, speaking sternly.

The one driving the horse was Jingzhe, who was wearing the uniform of the palace servants. Although he disliked it, he dared not disobey Nian Susu's order.

He flicked the whip, straightened his back and deliberately showed the iconic pattern on his chest, "Can't you recognize the East Palace's carriage? How did you become a servant!" He howled, with a hint of taking advantage of the power of others.

Behind him is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who dares to offend him?

The guard took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the carriage of the Eastern Palace. He lowered his waist a little and looked embarrassed. "I was blind and almost offended the master. But recently there has been constant fighting and martial law has been imposed in the city. Everyone entering and leaving needs to confirm their identity."

"So maybe we have to ask the nobleman in the carriage to show up..." the guard said timidly.

Jingzhe was impatient and spat. Just as he was about to start cursing, Nian Susu gently stopped him, "Jingzhe, don't be rude."

Jingzhe's anger was instantly suppressed, and he said to the people in the carriage: "Crown Princess, this bastard is suspicious of our identities and wants to check."

The guard quickly apologized: "No, no, I am just following orders, please forgive me, Princess."

Nian Susu lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing half of her face. She stretched out half of her jade wrist, and her slender fingers held a tassel with a token. The guards widened their eyes.

Jingzhe took the token and threw it over, "If you look at me again, I'll dig out your dog eyes!"

The guard bowed and nodded, took the token, checked it and let him go after confirming it was correct.

After leaving Xizhimen, Jingzhe drove the carriage into the alley.

The curtain was opened, Jingzhe put down the horse stool, helped Nian Susu get off the carriage, and Nian Qiaoyue followed closely behind.

"I can only send you here. As for how to make Qin Zehai trust you and keep you here, it's your own business." She adjusted her clothes slowly.

Nian Qiaoyue’s pale lips were tightly pursed.

"Also, come here to get the medicine in five days, but if you can't get any useful information, feed the insect with your own blood."

Nian Susu returned to the carriage, and Jingzhe rode away.

Nian Qiaoyue glared angrily in the direction she left and spat angrily, "I knew you weren't so kind!"

Prince Ren's Palace.

Nian Qiaoyue hid behind the stone lion at the door, pierced her lip with a hairpin, and a few drops of blood flowed out. When the guards changed shifts, she quickly ran to the stone steps at the door, lay on the ground, and closed her eyes.

When the guards came back from their shift change, they found Nian Qiaoyue. One of them kicked her hard. She almost couldn't hold back a cry, but she bit her lips to hold it back.

The guard was shocked to see blood coming out of the corner of her mouth. He quickly carried her in and asked someone to notify Qin Zehai.

Qin Zehai rushed to the front hall and saw Nian Qiaoyue lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, her face as pale as dirt and without a trace of life.

"Bring some water and pour it on her to wake her up." Qin Zehai lifted his robe and sat down, acting like a criminal judge.

Nian Qiaoyue was awake and poured two buckets of cold water. She pretended to wake up slowly and looked around in confusion. When her eyes met Qin Zehai, she sat up immediately in shock and said in panic: "Prince, you...I...why am I here?"

"I was just wondering, why are you here?" Qin Zehai sneered. This was the funniest joke he had heard in the past few days. "How did you get out? You disappeared for several days and then inexplicably appeared in front of my house. What is your purpose?"

Qin Zehai leaned forward and looked at Nian Qiaoyue with a fiery gaze.

Nian Qiaoyue hugged her knees with her arms, curled up into a ball, and hid her head in her arms in fear. "I... don't know. When I woke up, I was in a closed house. Except for someone bringing me food every day, I never saw anyone else."

"And then... and then I woke up here."

"You're telling lies." Qin Zehai's eyes were cold, and he didn't believe a word she said.

He gave the guard a look, and the guard understood and brought the punishment bench and stick.

When Nian Qiaoyue saw those guys, the scene of her being beaten to death a few months ago was still vivid in her mind. She was physiologically frightened and repulsed, and she held her head and screamed.

Qin Zehai was annoyed by the noise. He picked his ears impatiently and glanced at the guard. Nian Qiaoyue's mouth was covered and she could only make a "wooooo" crying sound.

She got tired of shouting and finally stopped, and the guards withdrew.

Suddenly, Nian Qiaoyue's eyes changed from dull to shrewd. She used her hands and feet to speed up and crawl forward. Qin Zehai couldn't dodge in time and was hugged by her legs. She was like a mad dog, grinning.

Frightened, Qin Zehai tried to kick her away with his legs, but to no avail. He gave up struggling and was about to ask the guards to pull her away. Before he could say anything, Nian Qiaoyue's bulging eyes caught his eyes. "Qin Zehai, don't you want to know what I heard that day? I can tell you right now."

Qin Zehai's face changed drastically, and he raised his hand to dismiss his attendants. He pinched Nian Qiaoyue's jaw tightly and said through gritted teeth: "I don't want to know now, because only the dead will not betray me."

Nian Qiaoyue was frightened by the momentum and trembled for a moment, but it was only a momentary fear. When she thought that she had nothing, she was no longer afraid.

"If I die, you will be buried with me."

"Before coming to Prince Ren's mansion, I had already told another person about your conspiracy. I made an agreement with her to meet every five days. If I didn't show up on time, she would send the news to the East Palace."

"You are guilty of treason. How do you think the emperor will sentence you if he finds out?"

Nian Qiaoyue laughed wildly. She never thought she was so smart. This time she wanted to let Qin Zehai taste the feeling of being controlled by others.

Qin Zehai's facial features twisted into a ball. He pushed her face away fiercely and kicked her, knocking her to the ground.

Nian Qiaoyue held her stomach in pain and couldn't recover for a long time.

The corner of Qin Zehai's mouth twitched, and he pointed his finger at Nian Qiaoyue, shaking it three times, "Good job, Nian Qiaoyue, you actually tricked me!"

He couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

Nian Qiaoyue stood up, brushed off the dust from her skirt leisurely, walked to the outer corridor and called for help. The guards swarmed into the front hall. She turned her back to everyone, as if the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to proudly tell Nian Susu: "I succeeded!"

Nian Susu looked down on her, but she insisted on slapping her in the face.

-

After Qin Zehai woke up, he went to see Nian Qiaoyue without even having time to drink a sip of water.

Nian Qiaoyue was locked up in the dungeon. Qin Zehai was furious and had her taken to a wing room for settlement. That lunatic, if she angered someone, there was no telling what stupid things she might do. If she ended up fighting to the death, wouldn't his great cause be ruined?

Qin Zehai would really go crazy if he was brought down by a loser like Nian Qiaoyue.

Nian Qiaoyue moved to the side room. When she heard that Qin Zehai wanted to see her, she did not reject it. Instead, she invited him in openly.

"Your Highness, you fainted suddenly that day and we haven't finished discussing our business yet." She smiled and poured Qin Zehai a cup of tea.
