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

After exchanging some nice words, someone asked the key question: "Is the Emperor's illness completely cured?"

This question made everyone worried. Although the emperor seemed to be fine, they still didn't quite believe that he would be cured after being ill for such a long time.

Qin Junyu was about to speak when his brows suddenly frowned and his face changed drastically. He immediately covered his chest, put his hands on the dragon table, lowered his head and started coughing violently.

"Your Majesty..." Lin Shoude looked worried, took a few steps forward, and hesitated to speak.

The ministers looked at each other with horror on their faces, as if they had returned to September. Qin Junyu was in the same state, and he collapsed the next day.

They held their breath and stared at Qin Junyu.

"Cough cough cough..." He coughed for a long time before stopping. When he raised his head, his whole face turned red.

The ministers dared not say anything and quickly asked Lin Shoude to help him go down to rest.

The morning court ended like this. There was no attack or questioning as expected. Qin Junyu could feel that everyone was very concerned about his health.

Zhongling Palace.

When Nian Susu moved back from the Buddhist temple, Zhihua and Jingzhe were the happiest. They immediately went to look for pomelo leaves to boil water for bathing and get rid of the bad luck.

Just an hour later, Qiu Minjing, Yang Zhitao and Ma Chunxi came to visit.

"You are well-informed." Nian Susu smiled and invited the three people in.

What surprised her was that Ma Chunxi was also here. In her impression, she was always cold and hostile to everyone. When did she become so close to these two people?

With doubts in his heart, his eyes could not help but stay on her for a while. Ma Chunxi seemed to notice something and stared back at her with his big watery eyes, as if asking: What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?

Nian Susu smiled and said nothing.

"My father sent some books to me when he was leaving the court, and I knew that the emperor was almost recovered." Qiu Minjing explained to her gently, "I originally thought that the queen would come back in the afternoon or tomorrow, but I didn't expect that we would run into her."

Yang Zhitao was so excited that she chattered non-stop as soon as she sat down: "Your Majesty, you are back. Sister Qiu was annoyed to death by them during your absence."

Nian Su Su found it funny, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Minjing pulled her and shook her head to indicate that she should not say anything, as she felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey! It doesn't matter. I've been in the temple for too long and I'm bored. There's no one to talk to."

"Lady Yang, please tell me what interesting things happened in the palace." Nian Susu gave full emotional value. Yang Zhitao probably had a lot to say, and suddenly asked her to shut up, which would affect her mood.

After hearing what Nian Susu said, Yang Zhitao became very excited and told her a lot of things in one breath, big, small, outrageous, funny, without missing a single one.

Ma Chunxi occasionally made a few "sharp comments" and maintained a disdainful attitude towards other people in the harem.

Li Yaoyuan just listened quietly, with a smile on her face, and poured tea for Yang Zhitao with a doting look in her eyes.

Yang Zhitao spoke until his mouth was dry and he gulped down four or five cups of wine before he finally finished telling what he had seen and heard over the past month.

"By the way! And about Shen Baolin..." Yang Zhitao hesitated and looked at Qiu Minjing, trying to get her consent.

"Shen Baolin?" Nian Susu suddenly became curious.

She only knew that Shen Xinran was discovered when she sneaked into the Qinian Palace, and Qin Junyu's solution was to imprison her and prevent her from revealing the secret. As for other details, she knew nothing, so she really wanted to know what had happened.

"Does Your Majesty want to know?" Qiu Minjing first asked for her opinion.

Nian Susu nodded, "I have heard some details, but the specific content..."

The implication: I don’t know what happened! Please tell me!

Yang Zhitao then told everything he knew.

The more Nian Susu listened, the more unbelievable it found it. The Shen family had been ransacked, and Shen Xinran had never come out since she entered the Qinian Palace. Her whereabouts are still unknown. Now everyone is avoiding the Shen family, so no one cares where she went.

But all Qin Junyu told her was to control Shen Xinran, so how come the entire Shen family was gone?

Nian Susu felt increasingly depressed.

After talking about Shen Xinran, the whole atmosphere became eerily quiet.

Ma Chunxi, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I know where Shen Baolin went."

The three of them looked at her in unison, curious, shocked, and confused.

Ma Chunxi remained calm and said, "My brother is the leader of the Imperial Guards and has some connections with the Ministry of Justice. A few days after Shen Baolin was caught sneaking into the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests, he wrote to me, asking me to be careful in what I say and do, not to get close to the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests, and not to inquire about anything about the Emperor."

Nian Susu suddenly felt guilty. Could it be that they were exposed? Why did Ma Chaoxing tell Ma Chunxi so?

That shouldn't be the case. The Lin Guards are almost loyal and serve the emperor. Even though they cannot be trusted 100%, they will not betray Qin Junyu.

Ma Chunxi went on, "Then the Shen family was ransacked, and he wrote to tell me that Shen Baolin was thrown into death row by the emperor, his tendons in his hands and feet were cut, and he was fed a mute drug. He was no different from a human pig, and he was only hanging on by one breath." At this point, she couldn't help but frown.

The other three people looked uglier than each other.

Although Nian Susu was shocked, she could actually understand Qin Junyu's actions. After all, Shen Xinran was too tactless to the point of sneaking into the Qinian Palace. If she was kept in the palace, who knows what she would do in the future.

As for the Shen family, it probably has nothing to do with Shen Xinran. Qin Junyu has long been fed up with Shen Qiyuan stirring up trouble in the court, so he took this opportunity to eliminate the Shen family.

But Qiu Minjing and Yang Zhitao could not understand. They thought the emperor was too violent and cruel.

Shen Xinran was certainly wrong, but her crime did not deserve this. She could have been killed, banished to the cold palace, or even exiled to the frontier with the Shen family. But the emperor chose the cruelest option, leaving her unable to live or die.

"Ah... Shen Baolin's personality is annoying, but when I hear that she was treated like this, I still feel pity for her." Yang Zhitao sighed.

Ma Chunxi looked unconvinced. "Evil men will be punished by their own evil. Shen Baolin has done a lot of bad things. Even if he didn't offend the emperor this time, he will be punished for other things next time."

Yang Zhitao didn't refute her anymore and scrunched up her little face.

After talking for a while, the three left.

Zhihua and Jingzhe had just come back from looking for pomelo leaves. When they saw that Nian Susu looked unhappy, they thought something had happened.

"Empress, are you okay? Did you suffer in the Buddhist temple? Why do you look so ugly? wuwuwu..." Zhihua burst into tears.
