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

"Excuse me for being ignorant, why is this... the reason why I think it is His Royal Highness?"

Prince Jing was silent and held another chess piece in his hand. After admiring the layout on the chessboard for a while, he quietly replied: "Jialun was brought out by Xia Yechen, the folk wife. Even if no one knows it now, you How long do you think you can keep it secret?"

"Once Jia Lun disappears, the first person to be punished is the woman. Originally, it was nothing to punish her, but they were involved in the brothel incident just now. As long as this matter is exposed again..."

Prince Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled more and more proudly, "Then Xia Yechen is an accomplice."

"You know that one of your own has done something wrong, but you cover it up without permission, and at the same time you don't apologize to your father. In this situation, do you think my father will trust him again next time?"

Prince Jing's method was very simple. He punished Zhou Xiaoyuan and then implicated Xia Yechen. At this time, no matter whether Princess Jialun was dead or alive, Xia Yechen would definitely be punished heavily for the sake of the common people's anger. This would naturally achieve his goal.

Hearing this, the counselor also had a look of realization on his face. He didn't even play chess and immediately praised Prince Jing.

"His Highness is truly unparalleled in resourcefulness. I'm afraid that Prince Rong will never imagine until his death that Princess Jialun will be in His Highness's hands. He can't find her, and he refuses to use his own woman to get away with it. In the end, he will definitely fall into a big trap! "

After the counselor finished speaking, Prince Jing also laughed loudly, as if he had seen the beautiful scene of eradicating dissidents from what he said.

After he finished laughing, his expression turned gloomy again, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"It's no wonder that I, the king, let such a folk boy who came halfway to snatch the military power that should belong to me, father.

She also became more and more partial to him and asked him about everything! "

"In the past few days alone, Xia Yechen has been in and out of the palace no less than five times! Those who didn't know better thought he was the crown prince!"

Prince Jing just wanted to ask why. He had worked so hard for so many years, only to be overtaken by a boy who had become a monk in the blink of an eye. How could he be willing to do so? Now that he had the opportunity to overthrow him, Prince Jing Of course no effort was spared.

Prince Jing scolded him angrily, but the counselor on the other side didn't dare to say a word. Nono responded with his tail between his legs for a long time, as if he was timid, which made Prince Jing lose interest in the end.

He put down the chess pieces and walked away. The counselor breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the chessboard with a thoughtful expression.

On the other side, just as Prince Jing's counselor said, Xia Yechen led people to search around, but naturally he had no clue.

This time, even guarding pawn shops and major brothels was of no use.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was waiting anxiously. Xia Yechen had no choice but to say something else to distract her, and once again persuaded her to go back to the palace to rest.

Zhou Xiaoyuan refused last time. Xia Yechen couldn't be the only one to worry about the trouble she caused.

But this time Xia Yechen's tone became much tougher.

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at him, how could she not understand in her heart that there was probably very little hope of Princess Jialun getting her back. Xia Yechen wanted to handle the responsibility himself and didn't want her to be in such a bad mood even though she had a holiday.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was moved and had no choice but to agree, and the guards took her back to the palace.

After hearing the news, Nini and Zhao Wu ran out to greet them.

original

It should have been a very happy thing, but at this time Zhou Xiaoyuan really couldn't bring up any mood to be happy. She hugged Nini quietly, feeling so tired that she couldn't say a word.

Nini didn't know why, so she could only hug Zhou Xiaoyuan and comfort her slowly. Zhao Wu who was next to her also noticed something strange about her, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Is... Concubine Shu treating you badly? I heard Didn’t the prince say that Concubine Shu has changed her attitude? Could it be possible..."

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want to say more, but after listening to Zhao Wu's words, she couldn't laugh or cry. She knew that if she didn't explain, Xia Yechen and Concubine Shu would both be killed.

She had no choice but to shake her head and said with a somewhat tangled expression: "It's not Concubine Shu's fault. This time...this time it's my own fault."

When she said this, Zhao Wu's expression became even more surprised.

Zhao Wu obviously didn't think that Zhou Xiaoyuan would deliberately cause any trouble. She thought about it for a long time but had no clue. She was also worried that Zhou Xiaoyuan would not be able to think about it, so she could only walk over and pat her on the shoulder.

Even if she didn't say anything, this action was enough to comfort Zhou Xiaoyuan. She shook her head, hesitated before speaking.

"I really got into trouble this time. I took Princess Jialun out of the palace, but the princess ran away halfway and Xia Yechen couldn't find her. If this is discovered, His Majesty will definitely be angry with me. Things are going to get tougher.”

When Zhou Xiaoyuan said this, her tone was filled with a hint of despair. Nini in her arms couldn't understand these words, but she also noticed that Zhou Xiaoyuan was in a bad mood, so she patted her on the back like an adult.

As if comforting, Zhou Xiao

Yuan felt warm in her heart, but even more worried, "...I don't know what to do now."

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhao Wu was completely dumbfounded.

When she came to her senses, her first reaction was: "How about we run away? The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so run as far as you can!"

"Even if the emperor is angry, it will take time. We can only escape before we are discovered. Otherwise, if people in the palace find out, something will happen."

Zhou Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Zhao Wu said was extremely reasonable.

Now that she has gotten into such a big trouble, she will die if she doesn't run!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoyuan went back to the house to pack her things without saying a word. She was still holding Nini tightly in her arms, and she was sorting it out almost by instinct. Zhao Wu was beside her to help, but after the luggage was packed, Zhou Xiaoyuan stood I was stunned again there.

When Zhao Wu saw it, she became anxious and said tangledly: "What are you still doing? We have packed everything. If you don't run away, are you waiting for death? Don't worry about us, your own life is the most important!"

Even so, Zhou Xiaoyuan still shook her head. She thought of Xia Yechen running around for her, and also thought of Princess Jialun.

For a while, she slumped on the bed helplessly.

She said blankly: "Where can I escape? Nini is here, you are here, and Xia Yechen... If I escape, who will be responsible for this? Xia Yechen or you? ?No matter who it is, I can’t just walk away like this.”

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want to implicate anyone. Even if Princess Jialun was responsible for her own misfortune, everyone else was innocent, and she couldn't lose confidence so early.

just in case

Can Xia Yechen find someone? What if it was just like that time in the brothel, with just a near miss?
