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

Facts have proved that he made the right choice. Along the way, Liu Luyan never dared to disobey his orders. Even if they disagreed, as long as he was angry, Liu Luyan would back down.

Qin Zehai nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. Young people still need to hone their skills. They can't become complacent and self-righteous just because they have won a few military merits."

"As the saying goes, there are always people who are better than you, and there are always higher standards..."

Qin Zehai put his arm around Liu Luyan's shoulder and went down the city wall with him.

Liu Luyan felt dizzy after listening to these profound truths. He wanted to interrupt him several times but never found a chance.

Qin Zehai ended with a sentence, "So, on such a big issue, you still have to listen to me."

Just as he was about to run away, Liu Luyan stopped him and said, "Your Highness, Yanmen Pass has been breached, and the General of the Cavalry and his deputy, Young Master Xiao, are missing. It is said that many of Liuli's soldiers were hunted down by the Northern Wei people and fled all the way back. There is no news yet."

Qin Zehai didn't care about these things, and he rubbed his ears irritably. But he still had to put on a show, and he "thought hard" and finally came up with a solution: "Let's wait and see. If we find that Liuli's soldiers have returned, we will open the city gate to welcome them. If we don't find them, we can't send people out to look for them. If the spies of the Northern Wei Dynasty find out that there are so many reinforcements in Liangcheng, it will be bad news."

The corners of Liu Luyan's mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart: Liangcheng is 98,000 miles away from the front line. Even if the Northern Wei spies put a hundred telescopes together, they might not be able to see the situation in Liangcheng clearly.

These are all Qin Zehai's excuses.

Liu Luyan has discovered that Qin Zehai is not serious about the war and does not really want to go to support, otherwise he would not have wasted so much time in Liangcheng.

It took them nearly ten days to travel from Shengjing to Liangcheng. During these ten days, Qin Zehai had nothing to do and did nothing. Liu Luyan even read the battle reports sent from the front line by himself.

But Qin Zehai was a civil official, and Liu Luyan didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he didn't care.

Liu Luyan was not so eager to save people, so he changed the subject, "There is one more thing. Our spies found a group of suspicious people wandering around Qingshan City the day before yesterday. They have not made any moves until today. Should we send another team to investigate the situation?"

Qingshan City is about a few kilometers away from Liangcheng. It is a small city with no troops stationed there and almost no defensive capabilities. It is not impossible that the Northern Wei people sent spies to lurk in it.

It is still unknown whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, so it is better to be careful.

Qin Zehai thought deeply, stroking his chin, and finally said, "What do you think we should do?"

Liu Luyan straightened his expression and said, "In my opinion, it is important to keep them under our surveillance and find out their identities first."

"Swallow." Qin Zehai nodded three times, "I think so too, let's do as you say."

Liu Luyan took the order and withdrew.

Qin Zehai stared at his back and smiled meaningfully.

-

In the distant mountains and forests is the camp of Liang Wu’s army.

Nian Susu quietly brought the three girls into his tent.

The girls saw that the space in the tent where the table and cushions were originally placed was now empty, and a thick quilt was spread on the floor.

Nian Susu lifted a corner of the tent door and stuck out only half of her head. She instructed Qingyu at the door: "Remember, don't let anyone in, not even His Highness."

Qingyu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

She was about to shrink back when Qingyu called her: "Crown Princess, is it really appropriate for us to do this? What if we are discovered..." The Liang Wu army is not someone to be trifled with, especially Nian Susu, whose identity is sensitive. She should act with caution to avoid being caught.

"Why is it inappropriate?" Nian Susu asked him back, "I'm afraid to live alone, can't I ask three people to accompany me?"

Qingyu was dumbfounded. After thinking about this question seriously for a while, he nodded: "Okay."

She gave Qingyu a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, even if we are discovered, I will take the responsibility alone. You just need to pretend that you know nothing."

Before Qingyu could say anything, she had already lowered the door curtain.

Qingyu gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and sighed helplessly.

Nian Susu handed everyone a thin blanket and said, "I only have one bed here. You have been sleeping on the floor for a few days. I have laid two layers of quilts. It shouldn't be too uncomfortable."

Xiao Ning was also among them. She was quite familiar with Nian Susu, unlike the other two who had never had any contact with Nian Susu. At this moment, she was clutching the blanket with a timid look in her eyes.

"Thank you, Miss Nian." Xiao Ning sat down and smiled as she invited the two of them to sit down as well.

Nian Susu moved a low stool and sat opposite the three of them. She looked at the two girls in front of her and gave a friendly smile, "Is this the first time for both of you to come here? I don't think I've seen you before."

The two nodded.

This is the second time for Xiao Ning.

"My place is safer than your tent. The soldiers dare not come in. Rest assured and have a good rest."

"If you feel unwell, tell me. I'll go to the medical hospital to get some medicine tomorrow and you can drink it when I come back in the evening."

Nian Susu's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, "Do you understand?"

They exchanged glances and said in unison, "I understand."

Nian Susu was worried that talking too much would put pressure on them, so she simply went back to her bed and made room for the three of them to talk in private.

Discussions with Qin Junyu were fruitless, and no one could help her get Liang Wubing to change, so she decided to use her own methods to help these poor girls.

Whenever a girl felt unwell or had her period, she would take her to her tent after dark.

Qingyu was guarding outside and no one dared to break into her tent, so she used this method four or five times and was not discovered.

These girls didn't dare to talk to her much, partly because they were unfamiliar with her and partly because they were afraid.

A strange woman with unknown origin joined them without any warning, but she was not the same kind of person as them. After knowing that this was not a place for people, she not only did not run away, but also committed crimes to help them.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and they are afraid that Nian Susu has other intentions.

But most of them truly believed in her and were grateful to her.

Nian Susu lay on his side, facing the three girls. They were whispering in the dim candlelight, with happy smiles on their faces. Nian Susu's heart was instantly filled.

The beasts came at irregular times, so she could only help as many people as possible.

Suddenly, an excited shout was heard from outside.

The three girls huddled together in fear. Although they were in a safe environment, their bodies were shaking and sweating as if in stress response.

Nian Susu didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He ran up to the three people and gently patted one of the girls on the shoulder, comforting her gently: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, they won't come in."
