The weak prince's queen

After Chu Xiyue returned to the palace, she ran to Xiao Yichen's room without stopping, but was stopped by Mo Feng.

"Princess, the prince has rested." Mo Feng's attitude was unusually cold, completely different from his usual enthusiasm.

"Uh... okay, I'll come back later." Chu Xiyue responded somewhat disappointedly. Although she couldn't put her finger on it for a moment, she felt something was wrong.

After Chu Xiyue returned to her room, she collapsed on the bed like a deflated ball.

"Oh my god, today was so thrilling. There was a danger of losing my head at any time and anywhere." Chu Xiyue laughed at herself, trying to relieve the fatigue in her heart.

"Let me help massage the princess." Dong'er walked forward and began to massage Chu Xiyue's head.

"Hmm... Dong'er's skills are pretty good. It feels so comfortable." Chu Xiyue closed her eyes and fully enjoyed the comfort of the moment.

"As long as it makes the princess feel comfortable, I'm worried that I might hurt you accidentally." Dong'er said with a smile.

Perhaps because she was nervous just now, and now in such a comfortable situation, Chu Xiyue slowly fell asleep.

"Princess..." Dong'er called softly when she saw that Chu Xiyue had not spoken for a long time. Seeing that she did not respond, she covered her with the quilt and left the room.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared before Chu Xiyue. This familiar figure seemed so familiar that a strange excitement welled up in her heart. She took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness..." Her voice was filled with unconcealed joy and anticipation.

Chu Xiyue ran over happily, her eyes gleaming with happiness. However, at this moment, the figure suddenly turned around, revealing a fierce and ferocious face. Chu Xiyue's smile froze instantly, replaced by astonishment and fear.

Xiao Yichen stared at Chu Xiyue fiercely, his eyes revealing endless murderous intent. In his hand, he tightly grasped a sharp knife, the blade reflecting a cold light. Chu Xiyue was so frightened by this sudden change that she stood there in a daze, at a loss for what to do.

Xiao Yichen suddenly lunged forward, his speed catching everyone off guard. The knife in his hand plunged into Chu Xiyue's body, piercing deep into her abdomen. Chu Xiyue stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes, horrified, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah? Your Highness...you..." Chu Xiyue looked at Xiao Yichen in disbelief, trying to understand why he would do such a cruel thing to her. Her body gradually lost strength and slowly fell to the ground.

"Ah..." Chu Xiyue woke up with a start, her forehead covered in sweat. She was panting, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.

"Princess, princess...are you having a nightmare again?" Dong'er rushed into the room after hearing the noise and asked with concern. She saw Chu Xiyue's face covered in sweat and her expression was tense, and she couldn't help but worry.

"It was just a dream! I was so scared." Chu Xiyue realized that everything that had just happened was just a terrible nightmare and breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned back on the bed, gently rubbing her temples with both hands, trying to calm the fear in her heart.

Chu Xiyue sat on the edge of the bed, staring motionlessly ahead, as if lost in thought. After a moment, she slowly closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly exhaled. This was how she tried to relieve her inner tension and anxiety. She told herself that the horrible dream she had just had was just an illusion, and that Xiao Yichen in reality would never treat her like that. However, despite her efforts to comfort herself, the nightmare still lingered in her mind, leaving her feeling uneasy.

"What time is it now?" Chu Xiyue suddenly asked, her voice a little hoarse.

"Princess, it's almost dawn." Dong'er replied softly.

"Oh... I actually slept for so long." Chu Xiyue murmured to herself, with a hint of surprise on her face.

"Princess, do you want to rest for a while? It's not yet fully light." Dong'er asked with concern.

"No need, Dong'er. Thank you for staying here with me, but it's time for you to rest. After dawn, let's go visit the prince together to see how his foot injury has recovered." Chu Xiyue said to Dong'er with a smile, her eyes revealing firmness and determination.

"Okay, I'll leave now." Dong'er nodded obediently, then turned and left the room.
