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

Concubine Ning was in no mood to play tricks on them right now, so she sighed and didn't respond.

The imperial physician came out and she immediately went up to him to ask him questions.

"Doctor Chen, how is the emperor doing?"

Concubine Xin also followed, "Doctor Chen, is the emperor awake?"

The other concubines pricked up their ears. The emperor's life and death concerned their future, so of course they had to take it seriously.

Doctor Chen remained calm, "Reporting to Concubine Ning, the Emperor just fainted due to overwork, he is fine, please rest assured."

Concubine Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Then can I go in now?"

She walked forward after she finished speaking, and Doctor Chen hurriedly stopped her. The guard at the door also gripped the scabbard tightly, in a defensive posture.

Concubine Ning frowned, her dissatisfaction written all over her face.

"Empress Ning, the emperor needs to rest now. Please wait until he recovers before coming back." Doctor Chen said with a smile.

"We will go in and take a look and come out soon. We won't disturb the emperor's rest." Yupin stepped forward and spoke.

No matter if there is something wrong or not, I have to let them take a look to feel at ease.

In her heart, Concubine Ning agreed with what Concubine Yu said, but she did not say anything. If she said such words, it would seem petty and unreasonable.

Doctor Chen refused to give in and made all kinds of excuses to decline. In the end, it was Li Zhongquan who came and persuaded them to leave.

Concubine Ning always felt that the emperor's sudden illness was not that simple.

-

Qin Junyu led the Liangwu army all the way north, riding non-stop. They were still three or four days away from arriving, so they stopped in a small woods to rest for the night.

It was also on this night that Qin Junyu received a letter from Beijing.

After walking out of the grove, there was a stream on the south side. He walked along the stream. The stones under his feet were hard and big, and he could feel the pain even with the thick soles of his shoes, but he seemed to be unconscious and walked back and forth along a certain route.

The gentle breeze, the bright moon, the gurgling water, and the sound of water splashing in his ears could not wash away the depression in his heart.

She was so absorbed in thinking that she didn't notice that there was someone beside her. When Qin Jun realized what was happening, she tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "What's wrong? Why are you here alone?"

Even when he saw Nian Susu, Qin Junyu still couldn't be happy. He didn't want to let his troubles affect her mood, so he shook his head.

The wind blew up the hems of their clothes, flapping and folding them.

Nian Su Su put his index finger on his chin and followed his pace, "If you don't want to tell me, then let me guess?"

Qin Junyu didn't say anything, and Nian Susu took it as his tacit agreement.

"Are you worried that General Xiao will not be able to defeat the Northern Wei?"

He shook his head.

"That's right." Nian Susu curled his lips, "General Xiao has 20,000 elite soldiers and rich combat experience. How could he be defeated by 50,000 Northern Wei soldiers?"

She sighed and continued to guess: "So they are worried that we can't beat Qin Zehai?"

Qin Junyu smiled lightly, very lightly and fleetingly, "Am I such an unconfident person?"

She frowned, "Wrong guess again."

"Since it's not about the war, then only Shengjing is left."

"Something happened at home?"

The "home" she was referring to was the entire Shengjing.

Qin Junyu remained silent, but lowered his head a little and pursed his lips. Nian Susu knew that he had guessed right.

Qin Zehai is not here, Qin Fengtian has become a fool, and the Queen is alone, and she and Qin Zehai's followers cannot cause any big trouble, so what else can happen at home?

Nian Susu thought hard but failed to guess the answer. Qin Junyu took the initiative to say, "Father is ill, and very ill. The palace is under martial law, the Yangxin Palace has blocked the news, and the Yulin Guards are guarding inside and outside. No one is allowed to approach."

He exhaled, but his mood was not relaxed. "Father's illness can only be kept secret for a while. Those ministers are very cunning. Once they find something wrong, they will try every means to find out the truth. It can't be hidden."

"At this critical moment, if my father falls ill, Shengjing will surely be in chaos."

Although Nian Chengyun is in charge, this is a matter of life and death. The ministers usually respect him, so they may not stand with him at this time.

Nian Susu's face was as dark as water, even darker than the night sky above. "What disease is the emperor suffering from?"

Qin Junyu: "He had a stroke and hasn't woken up yet."

She closed her eyes and finally understood why Qin Junyu was so annoyed.

A stroke could cause crooked eyes, crooked mouth, and hemiplegia in mild cases, and even lifelong coma, like a vegetable, in severe cases. With a war imminent, the emperor was needed to stay in office and calm the people's hearts. His failure to show up would only make people wonder if he had abandoned the city and fled for his life. However, if the news of the emperor's serious illness was announced, everyone would panic even more. People would be in a panic, and chaos would arise sooner or later.

Nian Susu: "What did the imperial physician say?"

Qin Junyu: "The imperial physician said that whether he can wake up or not depends entirely on luck. Even if he wakes up, he will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair and need someone to serve him."

Nian Susu knew that it was useless for him to say anything now and he could only pray silently.

Qin Junyu was tired from walking, so she and Nian Susu found a relatively flat place to sit down. She leaned on his shoulder and looked up at the stars.

Behind them, a dark shadow poked half of its head out from behind a tree, and a pair of shining eyes were staring in their direction, but the two were completely unaware.

"Your Highness, no matter what happens, I will always be with you." Nian Susu took his hand, held it tightly, and interlocked their fingers.

Qin Junyu put his other hand around her back and put his arm around her shoulders. The two of them got closer. "No matter what happens, I will always stand by you."

They snuggled together and became each other's only spiritual support in this world of suffering.

Li Huairen widened his eyes, thinking he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked over there again. This time he was sure he was not mistaken. It was Qin Junyu and Nian Susu.

Nian Susu usually pretends to be so noble, but she didn't expect that when she met the noble Crown Prince, she would stick to him. I thought she was so reserved.

Li Huairen felt unhappy when he thought of how Nian Susu usually turned his face away from him. If he was also a prince, Nian Susu would definitely come up to him to please him, so there would be no need for him to take the initiative to find a topic.

To put it bluntly, I just want to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix!

I don’t know whether the queen in the Eastern Palace can tolerate a country doctor like Nian Susu.

Li Huairen showed a mocking smile on his face. He really wanted to see the scene of Nian Susu being humiliated by the young lady of the aristocratic family. Such a charming face must look very beautiful when crying! Just thinking about it makes him feel excited.

As he thought about it, he laughed out loud.

It would be even better if Nian Susu was kicked out. By then, she would have seen how heartless and cold-blooded the royal family was, and I would then lend a helping hand in time and give her love and warmth...

Li Huairen became excited, as if he had really seen that day coming.

When he came to his senses, the backs of Qin Junyu and Nian Susu leaning against each other were so dazzling. He felt like something of his had been taken away!
