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

Qin Wenyuan's eyes darkened, he clenched his fists, and finally left quietly.

……

"emperor……"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here..."

Someone was talking, and it was so noisy that it hurt my ears.

Qin Junyu raised his head, and a tingling electric sensation spread through his hands and feet. He froze in this position and could not move for a moment.

When the lights in the hall were turned on, he realized that he had slept until night.

Lin Shoude tilted his head and looked at him worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Seeing that he had no response and looked sleepy, Lin Shoude had no choice but to repeat what he had just said, and spoke much faster: "The queen said she had something urgent to discuss and wanted to see the emperor. She is outside. Does the emperor want to see her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Junyu said without even thinking, "Spread it."

The numbness in his hands and feet eased, and he sat up straight, rubbing his sore neck and waist.

"Qin Junyu!" Nian Susu ran in angrily, put his hands on his hips, and glared at him.

Qin Junyu woke up all of a sudden, and it was at this moment that he roughly guessed what the "urgent matter" she was going to talk about was.

He smiled, moved to the left side of the dragon throne, and patted the empty seat on the right side. "Come, sit down and talk slowly. We have plenty of time."

This sentence sounded very meaningful to Nian Susu. She frowned, not only did she not get less angry, but she became even more annoyed. She asked with a sullen face, "They said that you announced at the morning court today that you would pass the throne to the fifth prince. Is that true?"

No one dared to make up a rumor about such a thing. The fact that it reached her ears meant it was a done deal. The reason she came to ask was that she wanted to hear him tell her the reason in person - why he did this.

He is not a man who acts on impulse, and he will not do anything that he is not sure of. The fact that he could talk about this shows that he had already started planning it.

She was with him almost every day, and she knew nothing about it!

When did he start planning this? Before he went to Wu County? Or after he went to Wu County? Or...did he plan this all along during his year in office?

Now when I think back to some of the things that seemed unbelievable in the past, it’s really terrifying to think about them carefully.

Nian Susu forced himself to calm down, suppressed his anger, and asked calmly: "Why did you do this?"

The wind swayed the candle flame, and the emotions in his eyes became more intense.

Qin Junyu's tone was still as gentle as before, "Lingling, do you remember the time we went to Gaochang together?"

"The grass, the moonlight, the stars..."

"This is the first time you asked me if I wanted to be emperor. I told you, I don't want to."

"On the way to Yuhang, the moon was still bright and the stars were twinkling on the roof of the inn. That was the second time you asked me if I wanted to be the emperor. I said no, and you laughed." At this point, he couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile, "You said happily: I knew that Your Highness was speaking the truth at that time."

Nian Susu understood that he really didn't want to be the emperor, and even if he had to take over the throne, he would find ways to give it up.

She suddenly felt guilty. She had asked him twice and his answer was the same. Now she was being aggressive and asking him why he wanted to pass the throne to the fifth prince.

In fact, she didn't like Qin Junyu's life after he ascended the throne. Now that she can finally get away from it, she should be happy. Why is she worried?

Perhaps it was because she was afraid that Qin Junyu chose to abdicate for her.

Qin Junyu stood up, walked to her, took her hand, and looked at her lovingly, "Now, you can ask me the third time."

Nian Susu looked up at him, moved her lips, but didn't say a word.

Pulling forward, she fell into his arms, the two of them very close.

She opened her thin lips and asked carefully, "Ayu, do you want to be the emperor?"

Qin Junyu hugged her tightly, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently stroked the back of her head with his hand. "I can be a soldier who defends my country, a civil official who dies for his advice, a free and easy knight, or a farmer who works hard in the fields. But I don't want to sit alone on the dragon throne and be a lonely emperor."

"As long as I'm in office, I'll boast that I've done nothing wrong to the country and the people. I've worked day and night to pave the way for Xiaowu, hoping that he wouldn't have to work so hard before he can take charge on his own. My plan has been accomplished."

"Now, I just want to be with you. I support you in everything you want to do, and I will be with you wherever you want to go."

Nian Susu put her ear to his chest, listening to his heartbeat getting faster and faster. She smiled and replied, "Okay, after we finish the rest of the things, we will travel around the world! Just like Yun Zheng and the Second Prince, we will see everything in the world. If we get tired one day, we can buy a house in a beautiful place like Zhizhi and live a simple life."

Just thinking about that kind of life makes my heart burst with happiness.

Hearing the joy in her tone, Qin Junyu's heavy mood was relieved.

"Oh, there's one more thing I haven't told you... I handed over the position of the owner of Tianxuan Villa."

“Ah?” Nian Susu’s eyes widened, and he quickly pushed him away, his eyes becoming somewhat helpless. “But… Tianxuan Villa is the result of your years of hard work. If you just give it away like this, will it…”

Qin Junyu laughed in silence, "Don't worry, even if I'm no longer the owner of the manor, Tianxuan Manor is still mine. If you want to go back one day, no one will dare to stop you."

Nian Susu breathed a sigh of relief, but changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. He wrinkled his nose and punched him, "You scared me. If there are such important matters in your life in the future, can you discuss it with me before making a decision?"

"I was going to tell you this... I wanted to give you a surprise..." Qin Junyu scratched his head.

"It's obviously a shock..."

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms, with a faint smile on their faces, and their hearts were sweeter than eating honey.

-

As Qin Junyu said, on the second day after he announced the succession, the imperial edict of succession was issued and announced to the world. The reason used was very simple: he was in poor health and could not take on such a heavy responsibility, so he abdicated and let the fifth prince Qin Wenyuan become a wise ruler because of his quick wit, selflessness and dedication.

This news alarmed people all over the country, and they speculated what had happened that caused the emperor to pass the throne to his younger brother less than a year after taking the throne.

Many people still believe the reason of "poor health". After all, everyone praises the emperor's diligence.

The harem was in chaos - if the emperor abdicated, what should these concubines do?

They didn't dare to ask Nian Susu directly, so they went to find Qiu Minjing.

"Mrs. Qiu, you are the closest to the Empress, why don't you go and find out for the sisters?"

"Yes, you are one of us. Even if you don't care about us, think about your own future."

……

Qiu Minjing was persuaded by just a few words. She was also very curious about how the concubines would be dealt with, so she went to Zhongling Palace alone to find out.
