In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

"Yes."

Guard Yang obeyed the order and turned to walk out.

King Jin looked at her and asked worriedly, "How many people did she send to kill you last night? Are you hurt?"

"No injuries."

Xia Wanwan shook her head in reply, then said in a deep voice, "Xia Rouer sent a total of forty-five assassins to Ping'an Village. She probably didn't expect my martial arts to be so powerful, nor did she expect Jiamin, who looks like an ordinary woman, to be as weak as she imagined. Also, she didn't know that after she left, Guard Zheng kept the people he brought from the palace. Otherwise, she would definitely have sent more assassins."

"She's really got it. A fake one, newly crowned as a princess, dares to mobilize so many royal guards to kill people without the knowledge of His Majesty."

Prince Jin narrowed his phoenix eyes coldly, and he really hated Xia Rouer's family to the core.

If it wasn't for finding evidence, why would they have been kept here until now?

Xia Wanwan didn't take them seriously at all, and said in a calm tone: "It's okay, their family is all brainless people. They sent so many royal guards this time, probably to ask for special privileges from His Majesty."

Prince Jin said coldly, "Deceiving His Majesty and mobilizing the royal guards to kill someone is a serious crime. Even if she is not killed this time, she will suffer some physical pain."

"Your Highness! The carriage is ready."

After Guard Yang prepared the carriage, he came in and respectfully informed them.

"Miss Xia! Please get in the car."

Prince Jin and Xia Wanwan came to the door and extended their hands as a gesture of invitation.

Xia Wanwan nodded politely, then handed the captured killer to Guards Yang and Zheng, saying, "Please keep an eye on them."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the palace. In order not to attract attention, Prince Jin called the emperor when he arrived at the palace gate.

After receiving the call, the emperor called the two of them to the imperial study, and also summoned Xia Rouer and her family.

"Father! Why did you call me here so early in the morning?"

When Xia Rouer and her family came in, they showed no royal etiquette and didn't even greet them.

He was even in a bad mood and his face was full of displeasure because none of the people he sent to kill Xia Wanwan last night came back.

"How dare you! You refuse to kneel before His Majesty."

Seeing that the family was impolite and Xia Rouer even dared to show dissatisfaction, Eunuch Xu immediately scolded them coldly.

"This humble woman pays homage to His Majesty."

After being yelled at by him, Zhuang Ju quickly knelt down.

"Common people see you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Caijun and Xia Qiuming were also frightened and broke out in cold sweats, and fell to their knees with a bang.

There are so many rules in the palace. When you meet a concubine, you have to pay homage to her. When you meet a princess or a prince, you have to pay homage to her. When you meet the emperor, you have to kneel down and pay homage to him.

But since I can live a life of luxury in the palace, what's wrong with paying my respects and kneeling down occasionally?

"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."

Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, Xia Rouer quickly put away her expression and walked over to pay her respects with a smile.

"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

The emperor looked coldly at the people kneeling on the ground and did not let them stand up.

"The common people don't know."

The three people kneeling on the ground were so frightened that their bodies began to tremble.

Could it be that the plan of sending someone to assassinate Xia Wanwan has been exposed?

It's impossible. Xia Wanwan doesn't know His Majesty at all. She just got lucky and knew Prince Jin.

Unless the assassination fails and King Jin finds out about it.

But it has only been a short time. Even if Prince Jin knew about it, it would definitely not reach Your Majesty's ears so soon.

"how about you?"

The emperor's gaze fell on Xia Rouer again, his tone icy cold.

"Son...Son, I don't know either."

Xia Rouer didn't know why he was so angry and was very scared.

Except for the first day when he recognized her, the emperor treated her very well, but after one night, he became much colder.

The emperor sat on the chair, looked up at her coldly, and asked directly: "You asked me for the Royal Guard last night. What did you send them for?"

"No...nothing?"

Xia Rouer's heart skipped a beat. She was extremely scared and shook her head subconsciously.

"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me, where were you transferred to?"

The emperor slammed the table in anger and shouted.

Xia Rouer was so frightened that she didn't say a word and her body was shaking.

"Your Majesty! Rou'er is visiting the palace for the first time. She is simply too frightened, worried that someone might harm her out of jealousy. She requested the guards simply to seek protection."

Zhuang Ju thought for a moment and quickly knelt forward to help reply.

"How dare you! I'm asking about Rou'er, why are you butting in?"

The emperor shouted angrily, "Don't think that just because you are Rou'er's adoptive parents you can be so unruly. If you don't follow the rules, you might as well go home and continue farming."

"People's women don't dare."

Zhuang Ju quickly lowered her head and dared not say another word. She just hoped that her daughter could be smarter.

"Father! I want a guard just as Mother said. I'm simply afraid someone wants to harm me."

Xia Rouer was worried about not being able to find an explanation, but after hearing her mother's reply, she insisted that this was the reason.

The emperor sneered, "Do you think all my children are scheming? Among the children I personally raised, none are so heartless. Furthermore, the first rule of the royal bloodline is that scheming and fighting are strictly prohibited."

"My son, I know my mistake."

Xia Rouer quickly admitted her mistake with red eyes and aggrieved look.

I hope pretending to be pitiful will be useful to the emperor.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

When the emperor heard the message on his cell phone, he opened it and found out that Prince Jin had arrived at the door of the imperial study.

Before Xia Rouer and her family understood what he meant, they heard him shout to the door, "Mu Yin! Come in."

Only after getting permission did the King of Jin push the door open and enter.

"I see your Majesty."

"This humble woman pays homage to His Majesty."

After Prince Jin and Xia Wanwan came in, they bowed respectfully.

"Give me a seat."

The emperor looked at them, his eyes and voice softening instantly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia Wanwan still had a veil on her face, but this time when Xia Rouer saw her, she was so scared that she took a step back.

"you you……"

She actually was the woman at the banquet that day, but why was she wearing a veil?

Xia Wanwan looked at her frightened expression, curled the corners of her lips slightly under the veil, then reached out and slowly took off the veil.

"You...you are..."

When Zhuang Ju, Xia Qiuming, and Zhao Caijun saw Xia Wanwan's familiar face, they were instantly frightened.

Xia Wanwan cast her eyes on them with a half-smile, and said leisurely, "Long time no see, my father, mother, sister, brother-in-law, or cousin."

When the emperor heard her call Zhuang Ju and others father and mother, he was shocked. However, when she took off her veil, he was even more shocked and opened his eyes wide.

Because compared to the plain-looking Xia Rouer, Xia Wanwan's appearance is more like a combination of her father, the emperor, and her mother, the queen.
