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

The officials were shocked that they had kept the secret so well and not a single word of it leaked out.

If Qin Junyu and General Xiao could borrow some soldiers, then Liuli would be saved. Hope rekindled in their hearts, but the next second, Nian Chengyun poured a basin of cold water on their heads, "But more than a month has passed, and there is still no news."

Everyone's hopeful eyes dimmed in an instant. One was the prince, and the other was General Xiao, who was famous and feared by all. Even the two of them could not borrow soldiers to fight, let alone others.

Shangshu Li and Nian Chengyun usually have a good relationship. Several people around him whispered and encouraged him to ask Nian Chengyun about the emperor's situation.

Minister Li refused several times in embarrassment, but he could not resist their constant persuasion and had to ask Nian Chengyun: "Sir Nian, the emperor has only seen you in the past six or seven days. We don't know the emperor's physical condition. In your opinion, what is the emperor's illness?"

At this time, saying they were overworked was no longer enough to get rid of them. Nian Chengyun was well prepared and was just waiting for someone to take the lead and ask him questions.

"The emperor was so worried about the war that he couldn't sleep or eat, and he wore himself out. The imperial physician examined him and found that he had the symptoms of a stroke. If he doesn't rest well, the disease will come like a mountain, and it will be difficult to recover."

The story of Prime Minister Nian Yun was a mixture of truth and falsehood, and the ministers believed it to be 70%.

To put it mildly, it cannot explain why the emperor disappeared for six days. To put it seriously, it will cause panic. Ambiguity is the most appropriate, and let them guess the rest.

Everyone wanted to get more information from this sentence, but Nian Chengyun waved his hand and left.

Xiao Ning rubbed her arms and leaned against Su Su. Her eyes moved around. The yellow walls were covered with black cracks, and the dusty windows were full of cobwebs. The three of them huddled together in a corner, with a thin layer of hay under them. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the room.

The weather was not too cold in late August, but it was freezing at night and in the morning.

Xiao Zhi blew a breath into her palm, her voice trembling: "Miss Nian, we have been locked up here for two days, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Xiao Ning was drowsy. "Yes, Miss Nian, we tried our best to get into Qingshan City, but in the end we got nothing and were even locked up. What should we do next?"

Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi had no idea why Nian Su Su brought them into Qingshan City. The confused state would make people extremely insecure.

Nian Susu hugged them both tightly and said, "Hold on a little longer."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of a door opening outside.

With a "creak", the door was pushed open from the outside, and a beam of sunlight poured into the dilapidated house, with dust flying in the beam.

Chen Hu walked in with a lunch box in his hand. He had an extremely bad attitude and threw the lunch box in front of the three people. He looked down at the three little girls huddled in the corner, trembling like little white rabbits trapped in a pack of wolves.

Nian Susu knew that he had no ill intentions, but his style of doing things was rather "careless".

Chen Hu raised his hand to Nian Susu and said, "Come out with me."

Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi looked defensive and held her sleeves tightly, not wanting her to leave.

Chen Hu frowned, "If I really want to do something to you..." He raised his fist and slowly clenched his five fingers, "I can strangle a person to death with one hand now."

Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi were so frightened that their lips turned pale, but they still didn't let go.

Nian Susu gave them both a reassuring look and whispered a few soothing words, and only then did they let go.

Although Nian Susu looked disheveled, she stood very straight, and was graceful and elegant. Even though she was wearing tattered linen, it was not difficult to see that she had an extraordinary temperament.

"Deputy General Chen, please." She made a gesture with a smile in her eyes, which made Chen Hu lose his mind for a moment. He always felt that she should not appear here in such a state.

Chen Hu glanced at her and said, "You go first."

Nian Susu walked to the door and waited for him.

Chen Hu said to Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi, "These foods are not poisonous. You have been hungry for two days. Eat a little. Don't starve to death."

Just a few words sounded like a threat coming out of his mouth.

Both of them were shaking like sieves.

Chen Hu took Nian Susu away.

Xiao Ning pulled the food box closer, opened it and took a look. Inside were some home-cooked dishes, steaming, and obviously freshly prepared.

Xiao Zhi swallowed her saliva, her stomach rumbling, "You said...are these vegetables really not poisonous?"

Xiao Ning was also drooling with greed, especially when she saw the two bowls of rice, she almost grabbed them directly.

"Should...shouldn't there be any?"

"Like the big guy said, he could strangle us to death with one hand, so why bother poisoning us?"

She turned to look at Xiaozhi, their eyes met, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

The two of them took the food out of the lunch box quickly and ate it voraciously.

"Where was Miss Nian taken? Will she come back?"

"Maybe. Miss Nian is the Crown Prince's person. Since she was taken away, maybe she went to see the person in charge."

"Then when she comes back, can we leave here?"

"maybe……"

The two of them ate and muttered.

Nian Susu followed behind Chen Hu, taking two steps to the equivalent of his one step, and almost failed to keep up.

Chen Hu's back was broad and thick, like a strong adult bear. He just kept moving forward, not caring at all about Nian Susu's life or death.

In order to slow him down, Nian Susu had to make small talk: "Deputy General Chen, are you going to take me to see General Xiao?"

"You'll know when you get there." Chen Hu didn't even turn his head back.

Nian Susu lifted her skirt and trotted after him, panting. "I came to Qingshan City to find General Xiao for something important. If you just let me see General Xiao, I will know the truth."

Chen Hu still didn't understand how she knew about his childhood experience. Except for his family and some people who were very familiar with him, no one else could know.

When asked about her identity, she refused to tell him, which made him very worried these past two days.

As if in revenge, Chen Hu refused to say where he was going to take her.

Seeing that he was indifferent, Nian Susu stopped asking and decided to save some energy by running.

When they arrived at a room, Chen Hu asked Nian Susu to wait outside the door. He knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he turned around and waved at her, "Come here."

Nian Susu walked over calmly and followed him into the house.

When he saw clearly who was sitting in the room, Nian Susu was so excited that he almost cried. After going through so much trouble, he finally met General Xiao!

"Lingling?" General Xiao stood up suddenly, his tone and expression very excited.

Chen Yong was originally discussing matters with General Xiao, and at this moment he was standing aside. He exchanged a puzzled look with his younger brother, and then they both looked at Nian Susu at the same time.

General Xiao walked out from behind the desk, walked to Nian Susu in two or three steps, and asked in surprise: "Lingling, why are you here?"
