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

Xia Yechen smiled and said nothing. Seeing that Prince Jing was also pretending to be calm, he paused and looked cold.

"Does King Rong have any other opinions?"

"Of course not," Xia Yechen answered quickly, as if he had expected Prince Jing to say this. Seeing Prince Jing's expression getting worse, he added, "After all, what my brother said is so reasonable. How could my brother have any other opinions?"

"Humph, you'd better be." Prince Jing didn't want to say any more, turned around and walked away quickly, leaving behind Xia Yechen who looked at his back thoughtfully, his smile gradually fading.

Song Ling was always beside him. Seeing Prince Jing's appearance, he had a bad expression and asked:

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"What else can be done?" Xia Yechen asked lightly. Although it was a rhetorical question, it was obvious that Xia Yechen did not want to wait for Song Ling's reply. After a moment, he continued:

"Of course I will go back to my mother's palace and inform Yuanyuan about this."

After saying that, Xia Yechen didn't even look at Song Ling's expression and strode directly towards Concubine Shu's palace. Song Ling knew that his master was not joking, so he could only follow in a hurry.

Concubine Shu was a little surprised when she heard the news. The nanny next to her was still praising His Highness Prince Rong for finally being sensible, but Concubine Shu chuckled lightly.

She thought about it for a moment and changed her mind. Naturally, she didn't mean to agree, but directly exposed it.

"What are you talking about? He looks like this, I'm afraid he is here for Xiaoyuan."

As soon as Concubine Shu finished speaking, she heard Xia Yechen hurried in. She shook her head and asked:

"Why, as they said, you are here to honor your mother and concubine?"

When asked this question, Xia Yechen couldn't help but

After coughing, he bowed respectfully to Concubine Shu. He was almost embarrassed to speak. In the end, Concubine Shu shook her head first.

"Hey, I can't keep my son when he gets older. You, you, you, your heart is attached to the girl, and you don't know what he will become in the future."

Of course Concubine Shu didn't mean to accuse her too much.

She just gave him a few words of instruction, and then stopped embarrassing Xia Yechen. Instead, she waved to a maid and led him to the side hall to look for Zhou Xiaoyuan.

Xia Yechen breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to follow. The maid was obviously sensible. After leading the way, she left directly without saying anything.

On the other side, Zhou Xiaoyuan also just received the news.

She subconsciously guessed that it was Princess Jialun who had the news, so she hurried over to meet her. Before the two of them could catch up with each other, Xia Yechen went straight to the point and reminded Zhou Xiaoyuan directly.

"I have received news here that Princess Jialun's disappearance may be due to Prince Jing. He is highly suspected. You must be mentally prepared."

This hammer really stunned Zhou Xiaoyuan.

She was a little incredulous and said: "Prince Jing? Isn't that Princess Jialun's brother? How could it be related to him? Or is Princess Jialun actually doing this on purpose?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan's mind was spinning very fast, and Xia Yechen was a little surprised when she quickly thought of this, but he shook his head after thinking about it for a moment.

"No, Jialun's mother and concubine died young. She really has no blood relationship with Prince Jing that can be named, so it is unlikely that they are joining forces."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan's brows still did not relax.

She thought of the strange situation when she met Prince Jing when she left the palace. Before, she thought

Because the two brothers and sisters had a good relationship and thought that Prince Jing knew what was going on, he would leave without any delay.

But looking at it now, it seemed that was not the case. Zhou Xiaoyuan hurriedly informed Xia Yechen of these things.

But at this moment, apart from verifying what Xia Yechen just said, it has no effect.

Zhou Xiaoyuan naturally knew this.

She was quite annoyed for a moment and couldn't help but said: "If I had told you this at that time, maybe I wouldn't have gone through so many detours. Prince Jing looked very strange at that time. It's my fault that he didn't notice it." this matter."

Xia Yechen frowned and shook his head, rejecting Zhou Xiaoyuan's guess, and reminded him: "Even if I know the inside story, I only think of Prince Jing at the last moment, let alone you?"

"You don't know what's going on, so what's your crime? If Prince Jing hadn't been so insane, this matter wouldn't have happened at all, and it has nothing to do with you."

"How can you say it has nothing to do with it?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan was so distraught that she lowered her head and said, "If I hadn't been unable to bear the pressure and really brought Princess Jialun out of the palace, this wouldn't have happened."

"Jia Lun is arrogant by nature, so it's not surprising that he did this."

Xia Yechen patted her shoulder and reminded her again: "Don't think too much. I'm just here to tell you a few things to prevent you from being plotted. I will continue to investigate later. Prince Jing is very likely to You take action."

Zhou Xiaoyuan also understood what Xia Yechen said. It would be false to say she was not afraid. Zhou Xiaoyuan was not a great person, so she would definitely be afraid of this.

But after a moment of panic and fear, Zhou Xiaoyuan also reacted. She gritted her teeth and turned her hand

Xia Yechen, who was already preparing to leave.

I couldn't help but say: "Otherwise, why don't you take me to confess to Concubine Shu?"

Before Xia Yechen opened his mouth, Zhou Xiaoyuan thought for a while and rejected the word "please plead guilty" and replaced it with: "No, if you say plead guilty, even if it is, it should be confessed by Prince Jing - anyway, you bring it." Shall I go and explain the situation to Concubine Shu?"

Xia Yechen was stunned and didn't understand why Zhou Xiaoyuan thought this way. Especially when he heard those two words, the rejection in his expression became more obvious, and he spoke firmly.

"No, this time has nothing to do with you. What do you mean by confession? It's not even possible to explain the situation. My mother-in-law..."

Zhou Xiaoyuan asked Xia Yechen what was wrong with her mother and concubine with her eyes.

But Xia Yechen couldn't say anything more. After all, she was his mother. He gritted his teeth and looked embarrassed but still shook his head.

"This matter must not be made public——"

"But this matter cannot be hidden." Zhou Xiaoyuan interrupted Xia Yechen without hesitation. She looked calmer than Xia Yechen, and even said, "Shu Fei is your biological mother, you should not Believe her."

After saying this, Xia Yechen was dumbfounded, probably because he didn't expect Zhou Xiaoyuan to expose his thoughts so straightforwardly.

Mother and son are also pitiful people. They have been separated for too long and are deeply involved in the intrigues of the palace. Everyone here has different opinions, so even though Xia Yechen calls her mother and concubine, in fact, Apart from calling him mother, he was just like a stranger.

Maybe Xia Yechen couldn't figure it out yet, but Zhou Xiaoyuan did know. She shook her head and spoke firmly again: "You have said it before, more people means more strength.

quantity. "

"It is true that I have few people and little power under my command, but how can you underestimate the power of Concubine Shu?"
