Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

After careful discussion, everyone finally chose Lifeng Town.

Lifeng Town is farther away from Jufengpo and is not as sensitive to any disturbance in Jufengpo.

That night, the group set off for Lifeng Town. Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin were a pair of lovers who eloped due to family opposition.

The attendants around the two men and Song Tui Guan and his entourage stayed in a village next to Lifeng Town to avoid arousing suspicion.

As two "lovers", Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin could only sit together. A small carriage with green curtains slowly went to Lifeng Town.

Jing Zhichen took off his brocade robe, and tied his hair up high with a moon-white silk ribbon, which made him look a bit youthful like a boy of his age.

After all, it was a "hasty escape", and the two of them couldn't be picky about the things in the carriage, so they were both very awkward in the small space. Jing Zhichen was always aloof, so Xu Xingyin had to take the initiative to find a topic.

"Your Highness had never come across this case before. How did you find out about Zhang Bing?"

Jing Zhichen glanced at Xu Xingyin and said, "If you don't even have this little ability, does Miss Xu Qi really think that the East Palace is just a showpiece?"

"..."

Xu Xingyin was blocked by Jing Zhichen and was about to keep silent, but he heard Jing Zhichen kindly say:

"People who have the guts to do these shameful things are not good people. Although deception is useful, there will always be a time when it is no longer possible. Success once was due to luck, but you can't rely on luck every time, so don't act rashly without perfect preparation to avoid alerting the enemy."

"Your Highness is absolutely right, but the situation is urgent this time, so we chose to take a risky move." Xu Xingyin explained embarrassedly.

Jing Zhichen did not refute, but just reminded him indifferently.

"Remember, you can be without evidence, but you must have something to hold the other party accountable."

Just like today, Jing Zhichen had no evidence, but he was able to control Village Chief Zhang through the future of Village Chief Zhang's son and make him cooperate with them willingly.

To make a small investment to achieve a big gain can indeed be praised as a good plan.

"Your Highness is extremely talented and intelligent, and not many people can match him."

This time, Xu Xingyin praised it willingly.

Jing Zhichen raised his chin with great enjoyment, with an expression that said "of course".

The two chatted about other things for a while, and then they arrived at Lifeng Town.

Jing Zhichen paid the fare with a copper coin and got off the carriage first. As soon as Xu Xingyin lifted the curtain, she saw Jing Zhichen considerately extending a hand to her.

From Xu Xingyin's angle, he could just see his delicate jawline and the slightly raised curve of his lips.

Did this person take the wrong medicine?

Xu Xingyin was secretly complaining when Jing Zhichen spoke again: "Jiaojiao, we're here."

Xu Xingyin naturally understood what Jing Zhichen meant. He deliberately called her by her nickname just to show it to others.

Jing Zhichen took the initiative, so Xu Xingyin naturally had no choice but to cooperate.

She pretended to smile gently, not knowing what to call her for a moment, so she just whispered "hmm".

Compared with Jufengpo, the scenery of Lifeng Town is more beautiful, but due to the inconvenience of transportation, it is more secluded than Jufengpo.

The village chief of Lifeng Town was named Yu. He looked very kind, but when he saw two people coming together, he already had a plan in mind.

The two of them registered according to the regulations, and then they heard Village Chief Yu asking about their relationship with a smile.

"Cousins."

"couple."

Still different answers, but the gentle man reacted quickly, smiling and explaining to Village Chief Yu.

"My wife and I have just been married for a short time. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

Seeing how these two people behaved, was there anything that Village Chief Yu didn't understand?

It was obvious that the two of them had a close relationship along the way, but they were vague when talking about their relationship, and they were trying to cover it up, so they must be some infatuated man and woman who escaped from some family and came to their remote place to hide!

"Childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven."

Village Chief Yu naturally would not mention such a matter which was not suitable to be brought to the public. He just smiled and responded with a few words before sending the two people out.

As soon as they went out, Xu Xingyin quietly pulled Jing Zhichen's sleeve and asked.

"Can we really do this?"

"The smarter a person is, the less we can give him a direct answer. We should give him some room to imagine whether something is right or wrong. The more flaws he makes in his words, the more he will guess the answer we expect."

Xu Xingyin nodded and went to the destination with Jing Zhichen.

Jing Zhichen chose a farmhouse at the end of the village as his destination. Although it was not newer than other people's houses, the forest behind the farmhouse was very suitable for deploying personnel to keep watch.

Xu Xingyin naturally had no objection, so he nodded and agreed.

The farmhouse was very small. Apart from the room where the owner's family lived, there was only enough space for a child.

The room was not big but it was fairly tidy. Xu Xingyin tidied it up and then went to bed.

Who would have thought that while Xu Xingyin went out to pour a basin of water, Jing Zhichen suddenly fell on the bed like a big boss and complained to Xu Xingyin with disgust.

"Your bed is too hard."

Xu Xingyin felt that Jing Zhichen should be grateful for his noble status as the crown prince, otherwise he might have resorted to violence long ago.

Suppressing the urge to take action, Xu Xingyin grinned and turned to talk to Jing Zhichen.

"It's okay. This bed is perfect for me. Your Highness will not tolerate such an injustice."

As he said that, Xu Xingyin took two steps forward and pulled the quilt on the bed. However, Jing Zhichen did not move an inch, as if saying, "Just lie down if you want."

"Your Highness, you..."

Before Xu Xingyin could even start talking, Jing Zhichen glared back at him.

"Walls have ears, don't you know?"

Xu Xingyin was choked by Jing Zhichen's words and could only pout and speak in a low voice.

"Then how should I address you, Mr. He?"

"I'm afraid Jiaojiao has forgotten her own identity."

Jing Zhichen tilted his head slightly towards Xu Xingyin as he spoke. It was clearly a very serious sentence, but when he said it like this, it made people's heart skip a beat for no reason.

"Didn't you call me Brother He before?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Xu Xingyin was so helpless that tears welled up in her eyes because of Jing Zhichen's words. She was still young before, but could it be the same now?

Xu Xingyin couldn't bring himself to say such corny words!

It was rare to see Xu Xingyin in such an embarrassed state. Jing Zhichen smiled unceremoniously and snatched the quilt from Xu Xingyin's hand and wrapped himself in it.

"Sleep."

The series of actions were so smooth that Xu Xingyin was stunned. It took him a moment to react and he spoke angrily.

"You don't think the bed is too hard?"

"I can't help it. There's only one bed in this room. You can't ask me to sleep on the floor, right?"

As Jing Zhichen spoke, he did not forget to pick up Xu Xingyin's words to reply to her.

"After all, I am noble, am I not?"
