NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 660: More danger than good
The good deeds of Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Jinwei were spread everywhere in the capital, and countless people praised them!
The news soon reached the emperor's ears.
After learning the news, the emperor was very happy.
"Good good..."
He involuntarily nodded in the direction of the eunuch in front of him.
"It seems that the two of them have a deep understanding of how difficult it is for ordinary people!"
Due to the actions of Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Jinwei, the emperor was also praised by the people, and the entire country seemed to become more cohesive than before!
After realizing this, the emperor was full of praise for the behavior of Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Jinwei!
"These two people finally understand how difficult it is for the common people. They must treat the common people well in the future. The common people are the foundation of their lives."
Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Jinwei still live a life of giving free porridge to the people, but in the past few days, she feels as if she has not heard any news about Xia Yechen at all!
After finally returning to the Prince's Mansion that day, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but feel worried!
"It's been three or four days since I received any news about His Highness. I could get news from the Prince Consort before, but why can't I find any news about His Highness? Is it possible that His Highness didn't send a letter?"
After hearing these words, the little girl next to him could only smile and comfort him!
"The place His Highness the Crown Prince is going to this time is the most dangerous place. Only our Crown Prince can possibly break through this place. The Crown Princess does not have to worry. I believe His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to return as soon as possible!"
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but shook her head.
"Impossible! No matter where His Royal Highness goes, he will send someone to deliver a letter to us first. How can there be an exception this time?"
That night, Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't sleep all night!
In the imperial study, the emperor found no news about Xia Yechen at all in the past two days!
All the people sent out to investigate Xia Yechen's news have returned, but no one knows where Xia Yechen is!
"Have you not received any news from His Highness the Crown Prince?"
After once again waiting for the guards to come back, the emperor was furious!
"What's the use of keeping useless trash like you? I haven't heard from His Highness the Crown Prince yet. I think you are just slacking off all day long!"
All the guards knelt on the ground in confusion.
Thinking of what the emperor just said, one of them kowtowed crazily!
"We have searched all the places we can, but since three days ago, we have completely lost contact with His Highness the Crown Prince, and we don't even have any clues about the team that His Highness the Crown Prince took away before! "
No clues were found for three whole days. I am afraid that something serious has already happened to His Highness the Crown Prince!
Everyone thinks so, but no one dares to say it clearly!
Seeing the scared looks of these people, the emperor finally managed to control his emotions.
"His Royal Highness, the good people have their own destiny. Besides, besides His Highness, how many people can control those ruthless bandits there?"
After saying this, he raised his head and looked straight ahead.
"You guys have to search hard for me. As long as you can find where His Royal Highness is, I can give you any reward you want in the future!"
The men hurriedly nodded in agreement, and just as they were about to leave, they heard a voice!
"Don't let the Crown Princess know about this matter. If the Crown Princess asks about His Highness, just say that His Highness is currently fighting the enemy on the front line and has no time to contact us!"
The subordinates knew that Zhou Xiaoyuan was pregnant, so none of them dared to say anything!
After all these people retreated, the emperor finally couldn't help but feel a flash of anger in his eyes!
If Xia Yechen really had any problems in this matter, he would never let those people off easily!
Time flies.
Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, Zhou Xiaoyuan came to wait outside the imperial study room early!
After the emperor came down from the morning court, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't wait to ask!
"I haven't received any news about His Highness the Crown Prince in the past few days. What's going on with His Highness the Crown Prince? Could it be that he encountered some problems in the front?"
The moment he heard these words, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, but he quickly concealed his emotions!
"It's just because the front lines are busy. It's not like you don't know how troublesome the gangsters over there are!"
"The prince has no time to trouble you these days. Just protect the baby in your belly. When the baby in your belly is born, the prince will naturally come back to celebrate with you!"
The emperor spoke very perfunctorily. Zhou Xiaoyuan originally wanted to continue asking, but the person in front of her had already waved in her direction!
After being kicked out by the emperor from the imperial study, Zhou Xiaoyuan was still a little unwilling!
If the emperor could tell the specific news about Xia Yechen, she would naturally not feel worried. But now that even the emperor can't tell the specific news, doesn't this prove that something is wrong with Xia Yechen?
Zhou Xiaoyuan was reluctant to leave, so she simply sat alone in the imperial garden and thought about the whole story!
Just as Zhou Xiaoyuan was preparing to go back, the voice of a little palace maid came to her ears!
"I heard that His Majesty lost his temper last night, and those who were sent out to find His Highness the Crown Prince all returned without success. Could something really happen to His Highness?"
The voice of the little palace maid was somewhat familiar. After hearing the words "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", Zhou Xiaoyuan involuntarily took a step closer to the direction just now!
Another little eunuch was shaking his head desperately.
"Are you crazy? Now even His Majesty is unwilling to mention things about His Highness the Crown Prince. How can you still dare to mention the matter about His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Just pretend that you didn't hear anything about what happened last night. We people shouldn't listen to this at all. If this matter accidentally reaches the ears of the Crown Princess, I'm afraid that the child in the Princess' belly will You might not be able to keep it!”
The little eunuch's voice sounded a little panicked, but after hearing what he said, Zhou Xiaoyuan suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart!
Why can't I tell myself this? Is it really just that I'm afraid that something will happen to the child in my belly?
"But is there anything going on with His Royal Highness?"
The little palace maid was also asking the little eunuch.
"If something happens to His Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Jing is probably the only one who can take on the important responsibility now, but isn't he still grounded?"
