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

Qin Zehai tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and spoke to her: "Tell me, what do you want?"

It was not worth taking risks for Nian Qiaoyue, and he could only feel at ease if all the risk factors were eliminated. As long as Nian Qiaoyue was still profitable, there was something to talk about between them.

Just think of it as a great cause, endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens! Thinking of this, Qin Zehai felt much better.

Nian Qiaoyue held her chin and looked out the window. She had thought about this question. If she said no, it would be too fake. If she said it too unrealistically, Qin Zehai might get angry and embarrassed. So it was right to seek truth and be pragmatic.

She pretended to think it over before saying, "I have kept such an important secret for you. Do you think I need something to justify the hardships along the way?"

Qin Zehai was speechless. If he were to say it, Nian Qiaoyue should just die. When he became successful, he would make sure Nian Qiaoyue knew what would happen if she provoked him!

Of course, he could only think about it in his heart and didn't dare let her know his true thoughts.

He smiled good-naturedly, "Since you asked, I'll just say it straight. One million taels of silver, is that okay?"

You know, when Nian Susu and Qin Junyu got married, the betrothal gifts and dowries added up to only 10 million taels. One million taels was equivalent to giving her 10%. This money was enough for her to live for three lifetimes. Qin Zehai couldn't think of any reason for her to refuse.

But Nian Qiaoyue really refused. She shook her head meaningfully and said, "It's too little."

Qin Zehai gritted his teeth, resisted the urge to slam the table and leave, and counted again: "Two million, no more."

After the war, the national treasury was empty and everything needed to be rebuilt. Two million was all he had.

Nian Qiaoyue Lion opened his mouth and said, "Five million."

Five million is enough to cover the expenses of a small country for more than ten years.

Qin Zehai just woke up and was about to faint from anger again.

"Five million, why don't you go and rob it?" Qin Zehai couldn't help but curse.

"They're robbing it." Nian Qiaoyue said lightly.

No matter how patient Qin Zehai was, he could not stand being so angry with Nian Qiaoyue. He slammed his fist on the table, swept away the teapot and teacups with his sleeves, and left.

Nian Qiaoyue did not try to keep him, but waited quietly.

As expected, Qin Zehai walked to the door and stopped, leaving two words fiercely: "Deal!"

Nian Qiaoyue was very satisfied.

As the last day approached and the last ingredient for the antidote was still missing, Ah Falcon walked into the east wing in tears, wiped his tears and knocked on the door, but no one responded. He knocked a few more times, but still no response.

He had a bad feeling in his heart...

"Bang——" The door was kicked open, Ah Falcon rushed in and threw himself beside the bed, grabbing Qin Junyu's hand and crying heartbreakingly, "Your Highness! I'm late, wuwuwu..."

“Your Highness! I am incompetent…”

"Your Highness! I have not been able to find a cure... a medicine..."

Nian Susu rushed over after hearing the noise and saw a sturdy man named Axuan crying like a child at the door. The only way to describe it is - horrible.

Seeing how sincere he was, she was even embarrassed to interrupt him. While she was hesitating, Qin Junyu woke up.

He opened his eyes and heard the unpleasant and loud crying. He couldn't help but frown and tried to pull his hand back, but was pulled even tighter.

"Your Highness, are you blaming me? I have followed Your Highness for more than 20 years, and I never thought that one day I would be the one sending someone else away…"

"Let go..." Qin Junyu's voice was hoarse.

A Falcon didn't hear it.

"Let go!" Qin Junyu pulled his hand back forcefully.

Ah Falcon was stunned. He looked up with tears on his face and a dull look in his eyes. "Your Highness? Your Highness, you are not..."

"Not dead, stay away from me." Qin Junyu said with disdain.

A Falcon took a closer look and saw that His Highness's face was ruddy and shiny. Apart from the fact that he looked mentally unwell after waking up, he looked completely healthy. Today was June 30th, was he remembering correctly? A Falcon began to doubt himself.

"Could it be a last gasp?" this thought occurred to him.

Qin Junyu slapped him on the back of his head, and he became obedient and shut his mouth.

Nian Susu walked closer to the bed with medicine in hand, "Your Highness's poison has been resolved. After drinking this last dose of medicine, you will be fully recovered."

She handed the medicine to Axuan and motioned him to give it to Qin Junyu.

Ah Falcon was skeptical, "Really? Princess, you are not saying this to coax me, are you? Didn't you say a few days ago that other methods are useless except finding the antidote? But our people clearly haven't found it?"

Axuan had too many questions, and what he asked were also what Qin Junyu was confused about.

Qin Junyu could clearly feel that his body was different from before. No, to be precise, it was completely different from when he was poisoned. It was as if he had recovered to a healthy state.

Counting the days, he slept for three days at most. How did Nian Susu help him detoxify in just three days?

A Shun mentioned to him the method of blood transfusion to transfer the poison to another person. Although he did not agree, he was worried that Nian Susu would save him in this way.

His heart sank to the bottom of the valley. If he had to sacrifice her life in exchange for his own, he might as well die.

Nian Susu was frightened by the gazes of the two men and touched his nose, "Actually, I have something to hide from you."

"What?" Qin Junyu asked nervously.

Falcon pricked up his ears and listened.

"It's just... ten days ago, I met the miraculous doctor who saved Your Highness. I don't know how he knew my identity. He stuffed a prescription into my pocket, saying it was for saving my life, and then left. Later, I sent people to look for him, and everyone said they had never seen such a person."

She lowered her head. "I brought back the prescription, but I didn't dare give it to His Highness easily. Three days ago, Ah Falcon still didn't bring the antidote back, so I thought I'd give it a try. As a result, after His Highness took one dose, half of the poison was cleared!"

She pointed at the medicine bowl in Ah Falcon's hand and said, "This is the last dose. Drink it and the poison will be completely cleared."

Ah Falcon was overjoyed: "Wow! This is so magical! Back then, the miracle doctor also disappeared without a trace after leaving a prescription. Your Highness sent people to search for him everywhere but couldn't find him. Now, at the last minute, he shows up again and leaves a prescription for the Crown Princess to save Your Highness' life!"

He stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Could it be that the miracle doctor is really a god?"

Qin Junyu looked at Nian Susu quietly, his scorching gaze almost staring a hole through her. Nian Susu didn't dare to look at him at all, because if they looked at each other she would definitely be discovered to be lying.

Ah Falcon was amazed that there were such miraculous things in the world. Qin Junyu snatched the bowl from his hand, gulped down the medicine, and stuffed the empty bowl back into his hand. "Ah Falcon, go out first. I have something to tell the Crown Princess."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ah Falcon stood up hurriedly. His Highness had survived a great disaster and must have a lot to say to the Crown Princess. How could he be so ignorant!
