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

"Sister, what are you doing?" Concubine Shu asked Concubine Jia, "You actually bullied my people? Who do you think you are?"

Concubine Jia's face turned livid: "You..."

Concubine Shu didn't give her a chance to speak at all: "I don't care what grudges there are between you, but you can't bully my people. If my sister dares to touch them again, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

Concubine Jia looked at Concubine Shu helplessly, with nowhere to vent the anger in her heart. She knew that she was no match for Concubine Shu.

Moreover, now that her scandal is being spread throughout the palace, she does not dare to take action easily. So, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Okay, I'm leaving. But don't regret it."

Concubine Shu sneered: "We won't regret it."

Concubine Jia turned around and left, while Concubine Shu stayed with Zhou Xiaoyuan to comfort their mother and daughter. After Nini returned to her room, her fever persisted.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was so anxious that her tears almost dried up and she stayed by her side to take care of her.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Concubine Shu comforted Zhou Xiaoyuan, "I've sent someone to ask for the imperial doctors. They will definitely cure Nini."

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Concubine Shu gratefully: "Thank you, sister."

Xia Yechen was furious when he found out that Zhou Xiaoyuan and Nini had been bullied by Concubine Jia. He wanted to go to Concubine Jia to ask for an explanation, but Concubine Shu stopped him.

"Don't be impulsive." Concubine Shu said, "Going to Concubine Jia to ask for an explanation now will only make things worse."

Xia Yechen was silent for a moment and nodded: "I know, I can't let Nini get any harm."

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt more and more aggrieved when she saw Nini being seriously ill. She remembered what happened before

Tsk, the tears couldn’t stop flowing down.

"Empress, what's wrong with you?" Xia Yechen asked distressedly when he saw Zhou Xiaoyuan crying.

Zhou Xiaoyuan wiped her tears: "I just feel sorry for Nini. She shouldn't be treated like this."

Hearing this, Xia Yechen became even more angry: "This Concubine Jia has gone too far. I will never let her go."

Zhou Xiaoyuan heard this but shook her head: "No, don't be impulsive. We can't do anything to her now."

Xia Yechen nodded: "I know, we can't act rashly now. But we can't let Nini be hurt for no reason."

After thinking for a moment, he said: "I will find a way to teach Concubine Jia a lesson."

Xia Yechen secretly moved some tricks and put croton in Concubine Jia's food. After eating it, Concubine Jia suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and was in pain. She called for an imperial physician, but to no avail.

Xia Yechen sat in the study, feeling very upset.

Recently, he discovered that one of his soldiers named Li Qiang has been obsessed with beauty, often going to and from Fireworks and Willow Lane, and he is getting more and more excessive.

Although Xia Yechen was dissatisfied, he believed that this was other people's freedom and did not interfere. However, Xia Yechen discovered a big problem today.

"General, something happened!" A guard hurried into the study, interrupting Xia Yechen's thoughts.

"What's going on?" Xia Yechen asked with a frown.

"Li Qiang was killed!" the guard said breathlessly.

Xia Yechen was stunned and felt something bad in his heart: "What? Where was Li Qiang killed?"

The guard shook his head: "The details are not clear yet, but it is said that Li Qiang had an affair with a girl named Chunjuan last night.

son together. "

Xia Yechen frowned: "Chunjuan? Who is she?"

The guard shook his head: "I don't know, but it is said that Li Qiang is very familiar with her and often goes to see her."

The guard shook his head: "I don't know, but it is said that Li Qiang is very familiar with her and often goes to see her."

Xia Yechen's heart moved and he immediately sent his guards to investigate the woman named Chunjuan. And he began to think about what happened.

Li Qiang is a family man, but his wife has passed away. Therefore, he has always been addicted to women and often went to the land of fireworks and willows to find excitement.

Recently, he has gone too far and often skipped work to visit brothels. Xia Yechen had long wanted to teach him a lesson, but he thought it was someone else's private matter and did not interfere.

But now it seems that this matter is not what he imagined.

"General, we found her!" the guard came back and reported, "Chunjuan is a prostitute, and she has been arrested now."

Xia Yechen nodded: "Okay, bring her over to see me."

Chunjuan was taken into the study. She looked scared.

Xia Yechen looked at Chunjuan and knew that she was probably the murderer, but he had no evidence.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Chunjuan, you know we are looking for you. I hope you can tell us what you did with Li Qiang last night."

Chunjuan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know what you are talking about. Li Qiang and I are just friends. We just chatted together last night."

Xia Yechen frowned: "Chat? Chat in the room?"

Chunjuan nodded: "Yes, we were in his room last night

Chat inside. "

Xia Yechen was a little dissatisfied: "You two were chatting in the room? Isn't there anyone else who can prove it?"

Chunjuan thought for a while: "No. But I can swear that we were really just chatting."

Xia Yechen looked at Chunjuan's expression and knew she was lying. He sighed helplessly: "Okay, you can go."

Chunjuan immediately left the study after hearing this. Xia Yechen sent people to investigate Chunjuan's background and whereabouts, but found no useful information.

He knew that this matter was probably a trap deliberately designed by someone.

"What do you think of this matter?" Xia Yechen asked Zhou Xiaoyuan.

Zhou Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and then said: "I think we should meet Chunjuan."

Xia Yechen was a little confused: "Meet her? Why?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled: "Intuition. I think she should know something."

Xia Yechen looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan, feeling a little distressed. He knew that she was worried about Nini's health, so he persuaded her: "Xiaoyuan, Nini's health has just improved, and I don't want you to work too hard."

Zhou Xiaoyuan understood Xia Yechen's worries, so she nodded: "Okay, I understand."

At this time, Juechen suddenly walked in: "General, I discovered something."

Xia Yechen was stunned when he heard this: "What's going on?"

Juechen took out a letter: "This is Chunjuan's handwriting. I found that it is exactly the same as the handwriting of the mysterious person who has been corresponding with me before."

Xia Yechen took the letter and looked at it carefully, and found that the handwriting on it was indeed very familiar. He said excitedly: "This handwriting is exactly the same as the handwriting of the mysterious person who corresponded with me before."

Juechen nodded.

Head: "Yes, and this letter is encrypted. I think this Chunjuan is probably the person who has been communicating with you before."

Xia Yechen's heart moved: "Okay, I understand. Thank you Juechen."
