The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Zhou Xiaoyuan turned around in horror, only to see a group of people hurriedly gathered around her. They looked at her with an extremely alert expression and asked repeatedly: "Who are you?"

While asking, someone actually stepped forward to take action.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was startled and said that she was from the palace. She also raised the lunch box in her hand and tried to ask in a friendly manner: "I came to see the prince, but I don't know where the study is and I got lost. Can you tell me where to go?"

Hearing this, the group of guards looked at each other in confusion. The leader looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan with doubts on his face and asked: "You said you are the prince's servant... dare I ask the girl's maid?"

When asked this question, Zhou Xiaoyuan immediately frowned and said frankly: "Can't I go out for a walk alone?"

But the guards obviously didn't believe it.

The leader immediately snorted coldly and said directly: "I didn't even take the maid with me. Even if the girl lies, she has to tell a decent lie."

After saying that, people were ordered to surround Zhou Xiaoyuan, take her to prison and take her to prison.

Zhou Xiaoyuan frowned and was about to argue when she suddenly heard a calm female voice next to her: "Wait a minute! She belongs to the prince, let me see which one of you dares to take action."

This voice sounded very familiar. Zhou Xiaoyuan raised her eyebrows and looked over in surprise.

The visitor is none other than Yingmei.

She looked a little breathless, as if she had been chasing her for a long time before finding her way. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Yingmei felt extremely embarrassed for a moment, but she mustered up the courage to take out the token and show it to the guard. .

The guard was full of doubts, but he still took it. After confirming it, he looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan with a bit more confusion in his eyes. At the same time, he also conveyed to the leader: "It's the maid token.

"

The leader had a strange look on his face. As expected, he still couldn't trust Zhou Xiaoyuan, so he asked deliberately: "It's so late, what does the girl want to do alone?"

During the questioning, the man even made a gesture, which caused Zhou Xiaoyuan to clearly notice that they and Yingmei were surrounding him.

Zhou Xiaoyuan frowned.

It is a good thing to be cautious, but these people in front of her looked like they were determined to throw her into the ground. Her tone suddenly became worse: "Didn't I show you her maid card?"

"I said, I just want to go out and walk alone. Is this freedom gone?"

The more she heard Zhou Xiaoyuan say this, the more Yingmei became anxious.

She hurriedly spoke and said: "The girl misses the prince, and specially made some food to send over. Unexpectedly, she got lost, and I hope you will be accommodating..."

Yingmei spoke like this, which made Zhou Xiaoyuan look at her a few more times. She never thought that this person was so afraid of the guard in the mansion.

She was thoughtful in her heart, but she was unwilling to be outdone on her face.

"If you really can't trust me, you can ask your prince."

As soon as Zhou Xiaoyuan said this, one of the guards became angry. He flashed the sword in his hand and scolded, "You are so brave!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan was also very helpless, thinking that they didn't dare to take action and they didn't want to seek verification. What on earth were they going to cause trouble?

While they were still in a stalemate, the movement here had already reached Xia Yechen.

Hearing that his subordinates said that they had captured a lone assassin in the palace, Song Ling was a little surprised. After all, the perimeter of the palace was heavily guarded and normally not even a fly could get in. However, as soon as the assassin arrived today,

Appearing in the center of Neifu?

Song Ling couldn't help but frown, thinking that he might have arrested someone by mistake. After all, there were several strangers entering the palace today. The guards in the palace were changed every ten days, so it was normal for him not to recognize them.

Thinking like this, Song Ling unconsciously raised his head and looked at Xia Yechen, and saw that his prince was also thoughtful.

Then he directly asked him to go over and see what happened to Mo.

Song Ling naturally agreed. As he went, he kept muttering in his heart, thinking that he had clearly told Zhao Wu not to wander around during the curfew, so how could something like this happen?

But Songling never expected that nothing happened to the Zhao Wu family he had warned, but something happened to Zhou Xiaoyuan.

The moment he saw the person surrounded by guards, Song Ling's heart was lifted.

He hurried forward and asked people to retreat. At the same time, the leading guard was still confused and said: "Song Ling! What are you doing? This is the assassin we finally caught. You are so lax and will let you go later." what to do?"

As soon as he heard this, Song Ling became extremely angry and scolded the person severely, "Aren't you in the mansion these days? I wonder if this is Miss Zhou brought back by the prince?"

The guard was scolded so badly that he covered his head and was at a loss. Only when Song Ling saw this, he stopped and looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan uneasily.

He interceded for the guard: "I'm sorry, girl, this guy has a bad memory and is stubborn. Did he scare you today?"

Having said that, Song Ling motioned to the confidants next to him to report the news to the prince. This small gesture only lasted a moment. Soon he returned to his natural state and showed an apologetic look.

Zhou Xiaoyuan could naturally tell that Song Ling

Why she was scolded so fiercely was not because she was stuck here as an assassin.

So she didn't pursue her thoughts, just nodded and said tangledly: "I don't blame him, it's just..."

Obviously I just wanted to give him a late night snack, but it ended up like this.

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't know for a moment whether she should ask Xia Yechen where her study was. If someone found out that she almost sent herself to jail for giving her a late night snack, it would be strange if she told people not to laugh out loud. She I have never been so embarrassed in my life.

She was struggling, but she didn't want to. When Songling looked around and caught a glimpse of the lunch box in her hand, he understood in an instant and asked: "Is the girl here to see His Highness?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan choked, but she didn't expect Songling to see it so quickly and expose it so straightforwardly.

She coughed to hide her embarrassment, and followed Song Ling's eyes to see the lunch box in her hand. In an instant, she knew that everything was exposed, and she had nothing to hide, so she raised the things in her hand, her eyes revealing Helpless, he said, "That's right."

"I was alone and forgot to ask for directions. I ended up here somehow, and then I was seen by the patrol team. This led to such a misunderstanding. Such a big movement must have disturbed you, right?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan said this on the surface, but in her heart she was wondering if Xia Yechen knew.

It's best not to know...she thought sincerely, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

As a result, the next moment this idea came to fruition, Zhou Xiaoyuan heard another voice that could be said to be serious, "Lost? Who is your maid? Didn't she follow you?"

As soon as this is said,

Some people looked at Yingmei, and Yingmei herself was trembling, her legs were weak and she fell to her knees.
