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

Ah Falcon sighed heavily, "No, the letter was written by Eunuch Li, but the seal on it was from the Prime Minister's Mansion. And... the person who delivered the letter said he was from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Nian Susu's expression froze instantly. The letter from Eunuch Li was stamped with the seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there was only one possibility - something happened to her father.

If something goes wrong in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the situation in the capital will change.

She took the letter and said to Ah Falcon, "When His Highness wakes up, I will let him read it as soon as possible."

The two spoke in low voices, and with the heavy rain, their voices could hardly reach the ears of a third person. However, a weak voice sounded behind Nian Susu: "What are you looking at?"

A Falcon widened his eyes.

Nian Susu turned around and saw Qin Junyu half-lifting the door curtain, with only a thin coat on his body. He was not standing straight, his whole body was half-hunched, and his face looked very bad.

The wind and rain outside the tent rushed in and could blow him down at any time.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Qin Junyu coughed a few times against his lips.

She nodded to A Falcon, who nodded and left.

Nian Susu hurriedly took the letter back to the tent. She was cold and didn't dare to get too close to Qin Junyu. She went to the fire to warm herself for a while. He was sitting not far from her. Listening to the crackling of the charcoal, she said, "A Falcon just gave me a letter. It was sent from the palace."

"A letter from Prime Minister Nian?" Qin Junyu also thought so subconsciously.

Nian Susu did not answer, but stood up, walked up to him, and handed him the letter sealed with a lacquer wax seal.

Qin Junyu read it in silence. His calm eyes were suddenly filled with anger. He slammed the letter on the table and said excitedly, "Too outrageous! Ahem…"

He was halfway through his words when he covered his chest and coughed until half of his face turned red.

"Don't get excited, or the wound will open again." Nian Susu patted him on the back, his eyes fell on the letter, and after a quick glance, he roughly knew what had happened in Shengjing.

"The Queen is so bold! How dare she spread the false rumor that General Xiao and I were plotting a rebellion!"

Nian Susu sat next to him, looking worried: "Although this move is risky, it really helps her control the situation."

"The emperor is still in a coma, and my father is imprisoned in the prison. You and General Xiao are thousands of miles away and cannot go back to expose her. She is now in Shengjing, and can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand."

Although Li Zhongquan wanted to resist, he was alone and could only live cautiously under the oppression of the queen.

Li Zhongquan's letter described the changing situation in Shengjing in his own words, but at the end there was a message that Nian Chengyun wanted to convey to Qin Junyu: "I hope Your Highness will return triumphantly soon, put order out of chaos, and get back to the original source."

Qin Junyu pinched a corner of the letter, feeling very sad.

His eyes were red, and he turned his head away, not daring to look at her. "I'm sorry, Lingling, I didn't handle it well, and your father has been troubled."

"What are you talking about?" Nian Susu took his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Father has his own persistence and ambitions. Even if we don't become a family, he will definitely be willing to stand on the side of justice for Liuli, the people, and His Highness."

Nian Chengyun is a bit pedantic, but he is firm in his stance on the country and himself. This is one of the reasons why Nian Susu admires her father.

She gently held his hand and said confidently, "I have thought of a better way to win without fighting."

Qin Junyu was delighted and turned to look at her, "Win without fighting?"

She nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Xiao Jianting was once again brought before Qin Zehai. This time, he was not as dignified as in the previous times. He knelt on the ground in embarrassment. A powerful foot stepped on his right shoulder and pressed down hard, as if to crush him into the mud.

Unable to bear the weight, he fell flat on his face, his arms tied behind his back, unable to move, no more than a dog.

His dignity was crushed by Qin Zehai time and time again, but he no longer cared.

"Xiao Jianting, I have given you enough time. If you cannot come up with a solution that satisfies me this time, just wait and see Xiao Yunzheng die."

He took out a small porcelain bottle, put his toes on Xiao Jianting's chin, lifted it up, and forced him to look up.

Qin Zehai shook the bottle in his hand and asked with a smile: "This is the only antidote in the world. Do you want it?"

Xiao Jianting got angry and tried to snatch it, so he used his upper body to hit him, but Qin Zehai kicked him away.

He dusted himself off in disdain and said sarcastically, "You don't know your own limitations."

Xiao Jianting gritted his teeth, and in his heart he wanted to cut this worse than beast into pieces, but he could not show any dissatisfaction on the surface.

He lay on his side, and Qin Zehai's face was also upside down in his vision. "Give me the medicine, and I will tell you a permanent solution."

A line of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and his mouth was full of bloody smell.

Qin Zehai was half-believing and half-doubting: "Is there a way to solve this problem once and for all? Tell me about it." He crossed his legs, immediately put on a condescending attitude, and looked down at Xiao Jianting.

Xiao Jianting sat up and calmly uttered two words: "Antidote."

"Oh?" Qin Zehai got angry when he heard it, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me now."

Xiao Jianting closed his eyes and resisted the urge to get angry.

"Okay, then I hope Prince Ren can keep his word."

Qin Zehai raised his eyebrows and glared at his chin.

"It's actually very simple. Since the enemy can use the heavy rain to make the fireballs ineffective, we can also use this rain to make plans."

"How do you plan?"

"As far as I know, there have been two precedents in Liangcheng's history where heavy rains caused the foundation to sink. Why did the foundation sink? One reason is that rain erodes the foundation structure, causing it to be destroyed. The other reason is the most important one. The soil in Liangcheng is soft. Once it is soaked in water, it loses its support. When heavy objects are placed on it, the mud and sand will sink."

After his explanation, Qin Zehai was still confused. What did the sinking of the foundation and the loose sand have to do with war?

Xiao Jianting seemed to see his confusion and added, "After yesterday's battle, why did Prince Ren think the Crown Prince suddenly retreat?"

Qin Zehai pondered for a long time and finally came to the conclusion: "The rain was too heavy, they felt it was difficult to attack the city, so they retreated."

Xiao Jianting: ...

He held his forehead, "Yes and no."

He exhaled, accepting the fact that he was communicating with an idiot, "Prince Ren, didn't you see two very deep wheel tracks at the city gate?"

"It seems like there really is one." Qin Zehai suddenly realized, but he didn't realize it. "So what? They used siege vehicles to attack the city, so they would naturally leave ruts when they retreated."

Xiao Jianting: "It rained too hard, the ground was muddy, and the heavy siege vehicle wheels got stuck in the mud, which made it extremely difficult for them to repeatedly push the siege vehicle against the city gate. If they wanted to force their way through and break open the city gate, they had to use the siege vehicle, so the prince ordered a retreat."
