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

The queen laughed softly after hearing Xia Yechen's question. She sat elegantly on the chair, with a strange light shining in her eyes.

"Did you know? In fact, all of this was done by Prince Jing." The Queen said slowly, "He has always been dissatisfied with you and wanted to seize your throne."

"He knew Zhou Xiaoyuan was your weakness, so he kidnapped her and wanted to threaten you in this way."

After Xia Yechen heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart. He recalled Prince Jing's kindness to him. At that time, Prince Jing really seemed to have no ill intentions.

But he also knew that if the queen told him this news, it was probably not true.

"I need evidence." Xia Yechen said, "If this is really all done by Prince Jing, then you should provide evidence to prove it."

The Queen shook her head. "I have no evidence," she said calmly, "but you can investigate on your own. You can ask Prince Jing's men to see if they know the whereabouts of Zhou Xiaoyuan."

Xia Yechen thought for a moment and decided to investigate the matter. He walked out of the queen's palace, thinking to himself.

He knew this was probably true, but he needed to confirm it himself.

In the next few days, Xia Yechen secretly investigated Prince Jing's men. He discovered that they did know Zhou Xiaoyuan's whereabouts. After some questioning, they told Xia Yechen the place where Zhou Xiaoyuan was kidnapped.

At this time, Wang San was completely crazy. His eyes were full of madness and paranoia, making people shudder. He approached Zhou Xiaoyuan step by step, holding a hemp rope in his hand, ready to tie her up and throw her into the river.

Zhou Xiao

Yuan felt a sense of fear. She knew that Wang San's behavior was beyond the scope of ordinary people, and someone must be instructing him behind his back. She frowned, trying to think of a way to deal with it.

"Wang San, why are you doing this?" Zhou Xiaoyuan asked softly, trying to stay calm.

Wang San just smiled and said nothing. He quickened his pace and walked in front of Zhou Xiaoyuan. He skillfully put the hemp rope around Zhou Xiaoyuan's neck and tied her up.

Zhou Xiaoyuan felt that her body was tied tightly, with almost no room for free movement.

Wang San carried Zhou Xiaoyuan on his shoulders and walked towards the river. Zhou Xiaoyuan felt that her heart had jumped into her throat, and she knew that her life was in danger.

But she did not give up hope, but silently chanted Xia Yechen's name in her heart.

"Xia Yechen, you must come to save me." Zhou Xiaoyuan prayed silently.

However, as Wang San threw Zhou Xiaoyuan into the river, her body continued to sink. The river water poured in from her mouth and nose, making her feel almost suffocated.

Her body struggled involuntarily, but it was tied so tightly that she couldn't move.

Just when Zhou Xiaoyuan felt that she was about to lose consciousness, Xia Yechen finally appeared.

Zhou Xiaoyuan lay there quietly, motionless. Xia Yechen knelt beside her and continued artificial respiration, trying to bring her back to consciousness.

However, no matter what he did, Zhou Xiaoyuan had no reaction. Xia Yechen's heart was filled with despair and fear. He thought Zhou Xiaoyuan was dead.

The grief-stricken Xia Yechen held Zhou Xiaoyuan's hand tightly, tears constantly falling from his eyes.

"Xiaoyuan, don't leave me.

"He called softly, "I can't live without you. If you die, I don't want to live anymore. "

Xia Yechen's voice was full of grief and despair. He could not accept Zhou Xiaoyuan's departure. He would rather die with her than face the world alone.

However, at this moment, Zhou Xiaoyuan suddenly reacted.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Xia Yechen, with a smile on her lips. "Xia Yechen, you fool." She said softly, "I'm not dead yet."

Xia Yechen was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly. He wiped away his tears and looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan with a surprised smile on his face.

"Xiaoyuan, it's great that you're okay." He hugged Zhou Xiaoyuan tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body.

However, Zhou Xiaoyuan pushed him away and sat up. She looked at Xia Yechen with a playful smile on her face. "Xia Yechen, you actually cried." She teased, "I didn't expect that."

Xia Yechen scratched his head in embarrassment. "Aren't I worried about you?" He explained, "I thought you were dead. I really can't accept it."

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Xia Yechen and felt moved in her heart. She knew that Xia Yechen really cared about her, which made her feel extremely warm.

But she also understands that now is not the time to indulge in feelings. They need to find the mastermind behind it and seek justice for themselves.

"Okay." Zhou Xiaoyuan stood up, "We need to go find the doctor now."

Xia Yechen nodded, immediately picked up Zhou Xiaoyuan and walked towards the palace.

Zhou Xiaoyuan only choked on a little water, but when Xia Yechen saw it from the side, he couldn't help but feel very distressed.

He looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan's pale face and felt worried.

He held Zhou Xiaoyuan's hand tightly and said softly: "Xiaoyuan, are you okay?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head slightly and tried to squeeze out a smile. She knew Xia Yechen was worried about her, but she didn't want him to worry too much.

"I'm fine." She said softly, "I just choked on a little water."

Xia Yechen looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan, his heart filled with gratitude and love. He held Zhou Xiaoyuan's hand tightly and looked at her affectionately.

"Xiaoyuan, I'm going to fight for the throne." He said firmly, "This way, no one can bully you anymore."

Zhou Xiaoyuan was stunned. She looked at Xia Yechen's firm eyes and her heart was filled with emotion.

She knew that Xia Yechen wanted to fight for the throne to protect her, but she also knew that this was a road full of dangers and difficulties.

"Xia Yechen, you..." Before Zhou Xiaoyuan could finish her words, Xia Yechen had already turned around and left. He knew that he needed to work harder to make the emperor trust him and have a greater chance of competing for the throne.

Recently, Xia Yechen has been extremely busy. He worked from dawn to dusk on big cases, constantly demonstrating his ability and wisdom.

After Zhou Xiaoyuan recovered, she discovered that Xia Yechen had solved many major cases and gained the emperor's favor.

The emperor became more and more appreciative of Xia Yechen's talents and wisdom, and began to entrust him with important responsibilities. Zhou Xiaoyuan was happy for Xia Yechen, but she also found that Xia Yechen became more busy and tired.

One day, Zhou Xiaoyuan received an unexpected gift, which was a condolence gift from the Queen. She was very surprised. She had no friendship with the queen. Why did the queen

Will you suddenly give her a gift later?

"The Queen Empress sent these gifts to represent the concern of the Emperor and the harem." The palace maid who gave the gifts explained, "The Queen Empress was very moved when she heard about you and hopes you can recover soon."
