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

In the palace, Xia Yechen was naked from the waist up, with a bundle of thorns tied to his back. The sharp thorns pricked his skin and caused blood.

No one around him dared to look directly, only Sun Huijiao's eyes were filled with distress, Princess Yihua was the most disgusted, and the emperor looked soft-hearted after all.

"Did you carry these thorns all the way here? I haven't tried it yet, so I'm eager to admit what's wrong. There are women here, and it's simply inappropriate to look like this."

"Someone, please remove these things. Remove them all."

What else did Xia Yechen want to say? The emperor had already realized another problem and could not help but sullen, "Where is the concubine next to you? I remember I emphasized that, no one is here?"

Even after hearing this, Xia Yechen remained calm and composed, but the Princess Yihua on the other side had already expected this.

She took a step forward, wanting to take the opportunity to cause trouble, and said: "Your Majesty, that Zhou Xiaoyuan must have fled in fear of crime——"

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch outside suddenly announced loudly, "Your Majesty, Miss Zhou is here."

These words made everyone present widen their eyes. Xia Yechen also had a look of disbelief on his face. He thought he had heard wrongly, but then he saw Zhou Xiaoyuan following the eunuch calmly and walked in.

Obviously, Zhou Xiaoyuan had another imperial edict in her hand, and the guard did not dare to come, so she let her know and entered directly.

Seeing this, the emperor first glanced at Xia Yechen, not quite understanding what his son was doing.

Zhou Xiaoyuan saluted and couldn't help but look at Xia Yechen. The eunuchs hadn't had time to remove the thorns from his body.

His body was clean and stained with blood from the sharp spikes, but what was even more shocking were the old scars on his body.

Zhou Xiaoyuan's breathing was stagnant for a moment. It was hard to imagine how Xia Yechen could survive so many scars.

The two looked at each other from a distance, seemingly ignoring the people around them. For some reason the emperor did not interrupt, but the people next to them felt very uncomfortable when they saw this scene, especially Princess Yihua and Sun Huijiao. The former had just been slapped in the face, and the latter, of course, was jealous.

However, Sun Huijiao was a woman who had not left the imperial court after all, and she only dared to look at Xia Yechen with her peripheral vision in front of His Majesty. Princess Yihua was different. She was not interested in Xia Yechen's injuries at all.

The two of them were already enemies, and she wished Xia Yechen would be injured as seriously as possible.

However, it was such a coincidence that Zhou Xiaoyuan appeared. It was strange that Princess Yihua could swallow this sigh of relief. She changed her mind and realized that she could not let Zhou Xiaoyuan find a chance to clear her name.

Just as she said, Princess Yihua quickly decided to take a preemptive strike. Before anyone could react, she raised her voice and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Now that everyone is here, it's time to start the trial, right?"

As soon as he asked this question, everyone around him looked over, the emperor frowned, and the air in the palace seemed to drop a few degrees.

Princess Yihua didn't know whether she was too anxious or something, but she dared to speak to the emperor in such a tone, but she didn't realize it. The emperor was a noble person, and it was hard for him to understand a junior.

So I could only criticize Wu Yanghou in his heart about what he was teaching his daughter, and said, "It's really time to start, Zhou Xiaoyuan, you..."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yihua became anxious.

, she knelt down and spoke with an aggrieved face: "Your Majesty! Yihua has something to say first."

Now that things are like this, how can she still be told to shut up? The emperor narrowed his eyes and nodded without any trace.

But even with such a slight curve, Princess Yihua seemed to have obtained some kind of permission. She suddenly became excited and began to violently accuse Zhou Xiaoyuan of various "sins".

"Yihua just wanted to talk to her, thinking about becoming a sister-in-law in the future, and wanted to have a good relationship with her, but what happened to her? She started to talk badly when she saw me. How can there be such a sister-in-law in the world, even if we all We haven't even walked in yet, so considering her status, it's appropriate for her to salute me, but what about her..."

After saying a lot of words, the emperor began to have a headache. Apparently he felt that these were not the important points. Sun Huijiao also felt that these were really nonsense.

She endured it again and again, but in the end she couldn't hold it back any longer, and she took a step to pretend to agree, but actually added an accusation, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Not only did Zhou Xiaoyuan speak rudely this week, she was disrespectful, and she even dared to hurt Princess Yihua!"

"Today she is just a commoner, but she dares to put a hairpin on the princess's neck. If she really becomes the royal wife in the future, wouldn't she be lawless!"

Sun Huijiao's words not only pointed out Zhou Xiaoyuan's biggest mistake, but also gave the emperor eye drops.

Originally, the emperor didn't like her being Xia Yechen's concubine, so after Sun Huijiao said this, even though the emperor initially came with the idea of ​​​​covering Xia Yechen, now he began to think about other things.

After all, Xia Yechen was his son, and he could clearly see the emperor's thoughts. He frowned and was a little confused for a moment.

urgent.

He quickly hit on the most critical point: "But my father didn't know something. If Princess Yihua hadn't threatened Nini and my adopted son first, how could my wife have done such a cruel thing?" Something serious is coming?"

"So many people saw it at that time. My child was crying like a tear, but Miss Sun still refused to let go."

Xia Yechen turned to look at her and asked, "I also want to ask Miss Sun what she was thinking at that time."

Sun Huijiao choked and felt scared again. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty really misunderstood. Huijiao never wanted to threaten anyone. I just want to be close to the two children."

"I know that Miss Zhou doesn't want to trust me, but it's fine if she doesn't trust me. Why do you want to take action against Princess Yihua?"

Her admission like this made Xia Yechen a little silent. The emperor was a little dissatisfied when he saw them arguing, especially when Xia Yechen actually got involved in the affairs between women.

He immediately spoke directly: "Ye Chen, let the imperial doctor take a look at your injuries. I'll just examine them first. Don't say anything."

Xia Yechen still wanted to argue, but the emperor on the other end said as if he had expected it: "What? Or are you saying you don't want to stay here? Do you want the imperial doctor to take you to the side hall?"

As soon as he said this, the emperor was obviously determined not to let him speak. Xia Yechen was stiff and unwilling for a moment.

He knew very well how these people would throw dirty water, so it was impossible to leave. He was not at all worried about Zhou Xiaoyuan being here alone.

While he was hesitating, Zhou Xiaoyuan was already at his side. She touched the scar on his shoulder distressedly and said, "Let the imperial doctor help you apply medicine to stop the bleeding first.

It would be bad if you get infected. "

After saying that, she added in a low voice, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
