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

Nian Susu was frightened by this sudden gift and quickly helped the man up, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, talk nicely and don't kneel down at every turn."

With so many people watching, those who didn't know would think she was being harsh on the people.

Xiao Ning's eyes moistened, "Crown Princess, you are our reborn parents, giving us a chance to live again."

Xiao Zhi also choked up and said, "Crown Princess, we have learned a lot from you in the past half month. Deputy General Chen allowed the two of us to help in the medical room as apprentices."

As they talked, tears began to fall from their eyes.

Nian Susu's eyes also turned red, and she couldn't control her tears. She was really happy for the two girls and hugged them in her arms, "That's great! This way, even if you leave the barracks in the future, you can still make a living with your own hands!"

Xiao Ning nodded, "Yes! Thanks to the Crown Princess, we can escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

When the people around heard this, they also shouted: "Thanks to the Crown Princess! We can escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

The people of Liangcheng, in particular, knew very well that if Nian Susu had not been trying to persuade people to surrender outside the city gate for seven consecutive days, the two armies would have been engaged in a major battle, and the people would have been the ones who would suffer in the war.

Nian Susu let go of the two and looked at the passionate people with tears in her eyes. For the first time, she felt a sense of responsibility. As the Crown Princess, she had a sense of responsibility to worry about the country and the people.

The people will see all those who truly want the best for them.

"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! We can escape from this sea of ​​suffering!"

The voices of farewell continued until Nian Susu and Qin Junyu got on the carriage.

The carriage gradually went away, and the people followed behind it, watching it go far forward until it was completely out of sight before turning back.

On the carriage.

Nian Susu made tea while teasing Qin Junyu: "Your Highness, it's been hard for you to accompany me in the carriage. It must be very frustrating, right?"

Qin Junyu glanced at the gauze wrapped around his right arm and sighed, "If someone hadn't strictly forbidden me to ride a horse, how could I be willing to stay in this carriage?"

Nian Susu snorted coldly: "You should be thankful that you only got a cut on your arm. If the injury was more serious, you would have to recuperate in Liangcheng like Master Xiao. How could you follow me back to Shengjing?"

Although Qin Junyu was joking, his face turned sullen. Nian Susu thought he was worried about Xiao Jianting's injury, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, with General Xiao and Yun Zheng taking care of him, Master Xiao will get better soon."

Qin Junyu originally wanted General Xiao to go back to Shengjing with them, but General Xiao insisted on staying with Xiao Jianting. Qin Junyu saw that many places in Qingshan and Liangcheng needed to be rebuilt and renovated after the war, so he did not force it.

Although Qin Junyu was in a bad mood, he still smiled at her and said, "I know, I don't need to worry about Jian Ting anymore."

He lowered his head, held her hand, and gently stroked it, "I just don't know how Shengjing is doing now."

"The news of Qin Zehai's capture must have been passed back. His followers are now avoiding his name. The queen is isolated and helpless, so it is unlikely that she will be able to achieve anything."

"Don't worry." Nian Susu hugged his arm tightly and leaned her head on his shoulder. "We have won such a thrilling battle. Are you still afraid of the queen alone?"

Although the Queen was extremely shrewd and had a strong command over the capital, she could not risk her life to save Qin Zehai as he had failed in his rebellion and was captured, a crime punishable by death.

Qin Junyu felt depressed, but in order not to worry Nian Susu, he suppressed his emotions.

-

Shengjing, Palace of Mental Cultivation.

The strong smell of ambergris in the hall made people dizzy. Several layers of curtains blocked the windows, leaving only dim light.

There was no sunlight at all in front of the dragon bed, and one had to rely on candles to see in broad daylight.

The queen took the medicine bowl from the palace maid and sat down beside the bed.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine." She smiled sinisterly.

The man lying on the bed looked like a dead tree, with a sallow face and thin body, without a trace of life. His cheeks were sunken and his cheekbones were high. Hearing the sound, he lifted his heavy eyelids. One of his eyes could hardly open and was tilted to one side, and his mouth was also tilted downwards.

His eyes were lifeless as he stared at the queen blankly, no longer the majestic image of the emperor he once was.

The Queen raised her orchid finger and gently stirred the black medicine soup with a spoon. "Your Majesty, how come your illness has not improved at all after so many days? Instead, it has worsened? You don't even have the strength to open your mouth these days? It's even more difficult for me to feed you the medicine."

She scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew on it, and handed it to the emperor, but he did not open his mouth.

"Here, drink."

The emperor clenched his teeth tightly, not daring to drink the medicine. He drank so hard that his eyeballs popped out and his face was full of disgust.

The queen was angered by his attitude and tried to pry open his teeth with a spoon. The two sides confronted each other and neither of them gave in.

The medicine in the spoon spilled out, and the emperor's face was covered with black liquid, which flowed from his mouth to his neck and seeped into his collar.

"You won't get better if you don't take the medicine." The queen said gently, but her eyes were full of hatred.

After saying that, she scooped up another spoonful of medicine and tried to force it into the emperor's mouth. As a result, a large area of ​​the pillow was soaked with the medicine.

The emperor stared at the queen with his eyes wide open. His chest rose and fell violently due to his rapid breathing. His face was red and his neck was thick. "You... vicious woman!"

Because of the stroke which caused his eyes and mouth to be crooked and his speech to be unclear, he had squeezed out these four words with all his strength.

The queen sneered, "Your Majesty is confused because of your illness. During the month you were sick, only I took care of you personally, feeding you every mouthful of medicine with my own hands. In this palace, who cares about your Majesty more than I do?"

The emperor was filled with rage. He closed his eyes tightly and didn't want to communicate with the queen anymore.

Although he had been lying in bed for a month and had lost contact with the outside world, he knew many things.

Half a month ago, the Queen replaced the people in the Yangxin Palace with her own overnight and did not allow anyone to see him, not even Li Zhongquan. This showed that something had happened to Qin Junyu.

The Queen has absolute power in Shengjing, and almost no one can compete with her. This also reflects that something has happened to Nian Chengyun.

But based on his observations over the past few days, the emperor realized that the empress was in a bad mood and was very irritable, and the way the palace servants serving in the Hall of Mental Cultivation looked at him changed.

The emperor had a premonition that Qin Junyu was coming back.

So the queen fed him medicine, but he refused to drink it because there was something else added to it.

When he is at a disadvantage, he should be patient, dormant, and calm down, waiting for the situation to improve, then he can become tough.

This time the queen only force-fed the emperor twice. Seeing that the emperor really refused to drink, she threw the medicine bowl away and left.

The palace maids beside her waited for her to leave and then carefully picked up the debris on the ground.
