Qin Junyu couldn't hear her voice, but after she finished speaking, he immediately responded, "Happy New Year," as if he was responding to her.

Nian Susu glanced at him sideways and smiled.

There was a sound of footsteps in the wind. Qin Junyu glanced to the side and caught a glimpse of the corner of the clothes, but he did not turn his head.

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside. Be careful not to catch a cold. You'd better go back to the palace." A Falcon said worriedly.

Qin Junyu shook his head, his voice weak: "It's rare to be alone and quiet, without having to think about anything or do anything."

Ah Falcon frowned, "The imperial physician felt your pulse that day and said that you were suffering from a deficiency of both Qi and blood. If you continue to endure this, your body will not be able to bear it."

"You can see snow at any time. Your Majesty, please listen to my advice and go back."

Qin Junyu ignored him and stared at the falling snow outside.

Ah Falcon knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he was anxious and annoyed, and blurted out subconsciously: "If the Crown Princess was here, the Emperor wouldn't be so stubborn."

He spoke quietly, but Qin Junyu still heard it.

His expression immediately changed, from calm to sad.

Although he was already the emperor, people in the palace still respectfully addressed her as "Crown Princess." Since he had not issued an order to crown her as the Queen, nor had he moved her out of the East Palace, they did not know how to change the title and had to keep it as it was.

As for the reason, everyone knows it very well. The Crown Princess has been ill for so long and has not woken up. If the Emperor confers her the title of Queen, the ministers in the court will definitely object. What if she suddenly passes away one day? Wouldn't it be a waste of time to confer her the title of Queen?

Even A Falcon, who urged him to move to another palace every day, did not mention how to accommodate Nian Su Su.

A Falcon realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his lips became tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to paste his mouth shut immediately.

Surprisingly, Qin Junyu was not angry, but listened to him and prepared to return to the hall.

Just as I turned around, a loud explosion suddenly came from behind me, breaking through the sky, piercing through the darkness, and a gorgeous flower bloomed in the air.

Qin Junyu turned his head. The colorful fireworks lit up the entire night sky, reflecting on his snow-white face. The sound of the explosion also weakened the sound of the wind and snow a lot.

"Fireworks!" Ajun was extremely surprised, his eyes shining. He was just about to share this joy with Qin Junyu, but someone fell down in his peripheral vision.

"Bang——" a muffled sound.

-

Nian Susu felt that he had returned to the small dark room in a daze. When he opened his eyes, his consciousness was not quite clear, and he was stunned to see the familiar layout around him.

This is the east wing, her bedroom.

Nian Susu sat up and looked around. He found himself sitting on his bed, and he did not see Qin Junyu anywhere.

"I... am I back in my body?" She touched her legs, her face full of shock and a smile.

She walked around the room but didn't see Qin Junyu. When she was sure that she had returned to her body, she didn't have time to be happy. She took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine cabinet and put it in her arms. She opened the door and prepared to go out without even putting on her clothes.

As a result, a gust of wind and snow blew towards her, her thin inner clothes rustled, her body temperature dropped suddenly, and the wind made her unable to open her eyes and she felt dizzy.

"Crown Princess!" Zhihua's voice rang out.

Before Nian Susu could see the situation clearly, she was pulled back into the house. The door was closed, and the wind and snow were blocked outside. The charcoal brazier in the house was burning brightly, and it was warm. Her consciousness returned to normal.

As a result, Zhihua hugged her tightly and cried loudly, "Crown Princess, you finally... woke up... You don't know how worried I was... "

She cried and complained, her words were intermittent and incomplete.

Nian Susu patted her back lovingly, "Don't cry, Zhihua, I'm fine now."

Zhihua’s sobbing took a long time to stop, and Nian Susu held her and comforted her for a long time.

"Crown Princess, are you really okay?" Zhihua checked her whole body, but still felt uneasy. While looking at her, she wondered whether she should ask the imperial physician. Although Nian Susu repeatedly assured her that she was fine, she still remained highly alert.

"I'm so hungry. I want to eat the rice porridge you cooked." Nian Susu touched her stomach and looked at Zhihua pitifully. Her sickly face coupled with her pitiful eyes made Zhihua's heart soften in an instant. How could she bear to refuse her?

Zhihua repeatedly told her not to go anywhere and to wait in the room obediently before leaving.

As soon as Zhihua left, Nian Susu put on her clothes, put on her cloak, and ran out. Because there was no umbrella in the house, she had to go out in the wind and snow.

Fortunately, the snow in the east wing had been shoveled away, otherwise her shoes and socks would have been completely wet.

The distance from the east wing to the Hefeng Courtyard was only a few hundred steps, but Nian Susu felt it was very long. Because of her nervousness and uneasiness, her steps became heavier.

She was afraid that it would be too late because she didn't know when she would faint again.

The snow hurt when it scraped against her face, and the ice and snow made her teeth chatter and her bones tremble, but she was very happy. It was this kind of real pain that made her feel that she was a living person, not an illusory spirit.

When she ran into Hefeng Courtyard, the guard at the door was startled and thought he was seeing things. But when he looked closely, he saw that it was really the Crown Princess, so he did not dare to stop her.

The two discussed whether to report to Qin Junyu.

Nian Susu rushed into Nian Qiaoyue's room and stopped suddenly when he saw the person lying on the bed.

Nian Qiaoyue was wrapped in gauze, with only her mouth, nose and eyes exposed. The almond-shaped eyes were also staring at her, with shock and a bit of resentment.

The room was still quite warm, and her frozen hands and feet gradually warmed up. She felt her eyes swelling as well.

"Long time no see, Sister Qiao Yue." Nian Susu walked forward with a smile, came to the bedside, and looked down at her condescendingly.

Nian Qiaoyue couldn't make any sound, nor could she control her hands and feet, so she could only stare at her.

"Don't look at me like that. Because of you, I almost died." She smoothed the wrinkles on the quilt, stroked her skirt and sat down, her tone becoming gentle: "I haven't thanked you yet. You revealed Qin Zehai's plan to me, allowing me to take advantage of his plan and destroy his rebellion."

"I set the Queen on fire again and burned her to death in prison. Although it was very risky and I almost lost my life, I have to say it saved me a lot of trouble."

Nian Qiaoyue’s eyes gradually calmed down.

"There's one thing you didn't know."

"Or rather, I have a secret that I have never told anyone."

"Today I decided to tell you."

Nian Susu asked her, "Do you want to hear it?"

Nian Qiaoyue blinked twice.

She smiled. Even at this time, she could still talk to Nian Qiaoyue calmly. This was probably the most harmonious time in the lives of the two sisters.

"You may not believe me even if I tell you, but I think you have the right to know."
