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

Nian Susu replied cautiously, "Who is it?"

At this time, everyone in the post station had gone to bed, and any light would be particularly conspicuous, so she only dared to light a small lamp. Unexpectedly, someone still came to her door.

The person outside the door did not answer immediately. Nian Susu moved to the bedside and took out a dagger from under the pillow. If the person dared to break in, the worst that could happen was a fight to the death.

"it's me."

Nian Susu tilted his head, very confused, but still put the dagger back and went to open the door quickly.

"Your Highness, can't you sleep either?" She held the two doors with both hands, standing in the middle, not letting him in.

Qin Junyu raised his eyebrows with a sly smile on his face. He could see that she did it on purpose. It would be fine if she was on guard when she didn't know her identity, but when they were standing face to face, she was still so alert. It was hard not to suspect that she had other ideas.

"Let's talk further." Qin Junyu glanced inside.

Nian Susu narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do?"

She stuck her head out and looked into the corridor. It was pitch black outside. Not to mention the lights, there wasn't even a ghost. How did Qin Junyu come and knock on the door at the exact time she got up to drink water?

If it wasn't a coincidence, then there was only one possibility - Qin Junyu had been guarding her door.

"I have something important to tell you." Qin Junyu kept it a secret and without waiting for Nian Susu to answer, he slipped under her arm.

Nian Susu widened her eyes in disbelief and tiptoed to close the door. She followed his back inside and shouted angrily in a low voice: "You are the prince, how can you get under someone's arm?"

"Why not?" Qin Junyu stopped suddenly, and Nian Susu bumped into his back as expected, "Ouch——" his forehead started to burn.

Nian Susu curled his lips and looked up to see Qin Junyu turning around, with his arms folded across his chest, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

"No reason, I'm just upset because you're cheating." She was not justified but still angry. She stomped her feet on the floor and walked past him angrily.

Qin Junyu's gaze followed her and his smile deepened.

She crawled under the quilt, leaving only her head exposed. She stretched out her arm and pointed at the door, saying firmly, "Get out! I want to rest!"

Qin Junyu not only didn't listen, but also slowly took off his outer robe in front of her, leaving only his inner clothes and underwear. Under Nian Susu's anxious gaze, he sat down on the bed and began to take off his shoes, "I want to rest too. I feel dizzy after being outside in the wind for so long."

Nian Susu didn't believe him. She put her foot on his back and tried to kick him, but instead of pushing him off, she slid backwards with her legs straight and her back against the wall. Qin Junyu didn't move at all and didn't even feel her kicking him.

Nian Su Su was deeply shocked.

Qin Junyu looked back and saw that she had already made room for him. He was in a good mood and teased, "You say one thing and mean another."

Year Susu: ???

Qin Junyu lay down blankly, crossed his legs, put his hands behind his head, and stared at her meaningfully, "Come here."

"What...what?" Nian Susu nervously clutched the quilt.

In this situation, she couldn't help but think of the night in the military camp. Although she couldn't remember it clearly, there were some fragments of it. Just the flashes through her mind were enough to make her face blush.

She was afraid that Qin Junyu would do something wrong.

This is an inn with no soundproofing, so any noise can be heard clearly by the neighbors next door. And this floor is inhabited by the secret guards of Tianxuan Villa. She was afraid that the image of Qin Junyu, the owner of the villa, would be ruined in front of his subordinates, so it was better to mind her own business.

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Junyu laughed dumbly, "Didn't you say you wanted to rest? How can you rest if you don't lie down?"

Nian Susu was skeptical of him. He broke in in the middle of the night just to rest?

She remembered that they booked a room for each person when they checked in, so why didn't Qin Junyu rest in his own room? "

"What are you thinking about? We have to travel tomorrow, and I know my limits."

"I have a dagger hidden under my pillow. If you dare to lie to me, just wait for the consequences--" She made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Nian Susu lay down beside him half-believingly and shared the quilt with him.

Qin Junyu turned his body to the side, held her in his arms, buried his head in her neck, his breath was warm, but she was as stiff as an ice cube.

He chuckled and whispered hoarsely in her ear: "In some ways, I still have some self-control."

Nian Susu’s whole body looked like it was on fire, red from his ears to his neck.

-

Zhongcui Palace.

"I don't know what's going on. The prince has been wanting to run away these past few days and makes a fuss if his wishes are not followed. Tonight he even refused to go to bed at midnight. If the queen knew about this, she would definitely blame us for not serving him well." Qiuyao pounded her shoulders weakly, dragging her steps.

The courtyard was as clear as a pool of water, and the moonlight stretched the two people's shadows to be extremely long.

Qiao Yue's face showed no sadness or joy, and she responded, "Children are like this. The more you forbid them to do something, the more they will do it."

Qiuyao wanted to complain to her, but seeing her reaction, she swallowed the rest of her words.

When on duty at Xiangru Palace, Chunhuan, Hezhu and Xueying had the most complaints. There was something they were dissatisfied with almost every day, and it was very upsetting to hear too much. She didn't expect that now that she came to Zhongcui Palace, with only her and Qiao Yue as company, she had become the person she hated the most.

Thinking about the workload these days, it is indeed much more than before.

Qin Fengtian was not used to living in Zhongcui Palace, and the Queen would not allow him to go out, so he would make a scene three or four times a day. Qiuyao and Qiao Yue were either coaxing him or on their way to coax him every day.

The two of them returned to the side hall, sat on the bed, and felt that they were finally alive.

Qiao Yue sat for a while, put the small medicine bottle in her pocket, and went to the mirror to apply medicine on the scar on her face.

The wound has been healed for more than a month and has formed a scab. It often itches at night and she scratches it unconsciously. A small piece of it was scratched off before it healed and had to grow again, so she tied her hands before going to bed these days.

Qiao Yue sprinkled the powder on carefully, and raised her face slightly to prevent the medicine from falling.

Qiu Yao sat cross-legged on the bed and untied her hair. She looked at Qiao Yue's back and the terrifying face reflected in the mirror, and it always felt unreal.

"Qiao Yue, have you been to the Yangxin Palace too frequently these past two days?" she asked tentatively.

Others may not be aware of this, but as a companion who lives with her day and night, Qiuyao knows her movements very well.

Although Qiao Yue had not told her about her whereabouts, Qiu Yao felt that she needed to be more nosy this time.

Qiao Yue paused and looked at Qiuyao's expression through the bronze mirror. She knew Qiuyao cared about her, so she was not angry. She put the medicine bottle away, returned to her seat, knelt beside Qiuyao, and held her hands affectionately, "Sister Qiuyao, I know my limits."
