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

The king of a country was actually locked up in the Hall of Mental Cultivation by the empress and no one was allowed to enter. To put it bluntly, it was imprisonment. It was no wonder that they thought that the empress had hidden the emperor.

Lord Zhang's words were almost unanimously echoed, which was enough to show that they had been harboring resentment for a long time, and they would immediately rush forward as soon as someone stood up first.

The queen's breath was stuck in her throat, and her face turned red. Her legs went limp, and she took a few steps back.

Zhou Fuhai supported her and said worriedly, "My lady, please take care of yourself."

The ministers were still pressing her: "Empress, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to return, you might as well hand over the Emperor as soon as possible. His Royal Highness might remember our old friendship and give him a lighter punishment."

The queen closed her eyes. She was really tired and wanted to end it all. But when she thought of Qin Zehai and Qin Fengtian, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Before he could recover from his shock, he heard a clear and melodious male voice coming from the end of the crowd, "I didn't expect that Shengjing would change after I left for more than a month."

This voice...

Some people recognized him immediately: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back!"

Those who didn't recognize the person knew who it was after hearing the excited shouts of the people around them.

Hundreds of ministers moved back to both sides to make room in the middle.

The crowd dispersed, and Qin Junyu and Nian Susu appeared.

The two men stood side by side, with firm expressions and sharp eyes.

The queen narrowed her eyes and almost didn't recognize Nian Susu. She didn't expect that she had changed so much. Her skin was a little tanned, but it made her facial features more three-dimensional and her eyes more profound. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and the ends of her hair were flying in the wind, like a female general on the battlefield, heroic and valiant.

Qin Junyu still had that indifferent expression, looking unhappy with everyone.

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace!"

"Welcome the Crown Princess back to the palace!"

All the ministers knelt and kowtowed, each one respectful and solemn, with their heads bowed to the ground.

Qin Junyu is back, and they have a backbone. Their hearts, which have been floating up and down, finally settle down. Who can not be happy?

Qin Junyu and Nian Susu walked forward calmly.

"Your Majesty..." Zhou Fuhai called out. The Queen came back to her senses and stared at the two of them warily.

They walked up the stairs and came before the queen.

The ministers all raised their heads a few inches, and their faces turned in unison, all looking in the direction of Qin Junyu and the Queen.

How can we miss such an exciting moment?

Li Zhongquan was waiting at the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. When he saw Qin Junyu and Nian Susu from afar, the corners of his mouth began to rise. Now he didn't even bother pretending and had a smile on his face.

The queen stared at Qin Junyu warily.

Qin Junyu slowly turned the ring on his thumb, "Although I am far away in Liangcheng, I have heard a lot about Shengjing."

He raised a dangerous smile, "During the more than one month that my father has been bedridden, it was the Empress who took care of him. She never let him go, even doing small things like feeding him medicine herself, without slacking off for a single day. This prince is deeply moved."

The queen didn't know why he said these things. His words were all in her favor, but his expression was very intriguing.

She continued along with his words, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country and also my husband. It is natural for me to take care of him. The prince's words seem strange."

Qin Junyu nodded and smiled, "Yes, it is my fault."

He put his hands behind his back and raised his head. "With the Queen's careful care, Father must have recovered, right?"

The queen's face froze, realizing that Qin Junyu was going to lift her up and then throw her down hard. She clenched her fists tightly and managed to say, "Qin Junyu, what on earth do you want to do?"

"Li Zhongquan." Qin Junyu said loudly.

Li Zhongquan hurried over to him and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I am here."

He glanced at the ministers below him and raised his voice: "Since you all are so concerned about the health of the emperor, please invite the emperor out so that you can rest assured."

The people below lowered their heads and held their breath.

It seems that the prince still doesn't know about the emperor's disappearance and simply thinks that the queen has imprisoned the emperor in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. This also explains why he is not in a hurry at all.

Li Zhongquan was in a dilemma and hesitated, "Your Highness, the emperor... The emperor disappeared last night. The Guards have been looking for him for a long time, but they haven't found him yet."

"What!" Qin Junyu's face darkened and he almost crushed the ring. Nian Susu secretly tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to panic.

He suppressed his anger and sneered coldly, "It seems that the Queen has indeed made great contributions. The news I received said that my father had a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. Even eating and drinking became a problem."

"I didn't expect that after a month of careful care from the Queen, he can now walk and is full of energy. Otherwise, the Guards of the Unicorns would have been busy for so long without even seeing a single person."

"Queen, is that right?" Qin Junyu's eyes were full of threats.

They all heard that Qin Junyu was speaking in a sarcastic way, and their heads and necks were retracted into their lapels. If something really happened to the emperor, the man in front of them would be the future ruler of the world! They could offend anyone but not him.

The queen looked unhappy, but Li Zhongquan had to add, "Your Highness, the emperor's condition has not improved. Not only has it not improved, it has worsened. It is impossible for him to escape on his own."

"So, someone took my father away?" Qin Junyu raised his voice and looked at the queen as he spoke. The implication was obvious.

"But the Empress has issued an order that no one is allowed to enter, or even approach the Hall of Mental Cultivation. How could someone kidnap the Emperor right under the Empress's nose? I just can't figure it out." Li Zhongquan has always been good at speaking, and he did not hesitate to use his skills this time.

The ministers all gave him a thumbs up in their hearts.

"You!" The Queen glared at Li Zhongquan, "You little dog slave! How dare you slander me! You deserve to have your heads chopped off!"

Li Zhongquan knelt down before Qin Junyu without saying anything, "Your Highness, please understand that what I said is known to all the adults, and I have absolutely no intention of slandering the Empress."

The queen couldn't believe it and took two steps back, "How dare you, Li Zhongquan, lead me into this trap!"

Qin Junyu waved his hand, and a team of guards immediately stepped forward and captured the queen.

"Instead of worrying about other people's heads, Queen, you should think about your own nine clans."

The queen struggled hard and yelled at him: "I am the queen! I am half your mother! Even if I am responsible for the emperor's disappearance, you can't treat me like this!"

Qin Junyu sneered: "Queen?"

He lowered his head and whispered in the queen's ear: "Soon it won't be."

The queen was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Qin Junyu to dare to say such outrageous words.
