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

Xu Xingyin turned his head and just saw Jing Zhichen standing in the dim light.

The afterglow made his face look particularly gentle, and also made Xu Xingyin's heart tremble.

"Can I go?"

"Since I asked, it is of course possible."

Jing Zhichen said, "It's just that it's not nice to hear about a single man and a single woman, but if they're an engaged couple, no one can gossip about it."

Xu Xingyin was stunned for a moment, then she realized what Jing Zhichen intended to do. She blinked her eyes, her face full of confusion.

Jing Zhichen couldn't stand Xu Xingyin's expression. He turned his head slightly to avoid her sight and lowered his voice to explain to Xu Xingyin.

"This is not a rash act, but the result of my careful consideration. First, you grew up in Jiangnan and are very familiar with the local customs and officials there. No one is more suitable than you to assist in this case. I trust you more than those Jiangnan officials who harbor evil intentions. In return, I can promise to let you meet everyone in the general's mansion."

"Second, before the case of the wedding of the gods was closed, I went to Shuntian Prefecture. Magistrate Song said that during the rescue in Jingzhou, you were the only one who saw the thief in person because you had your back to him. No one else had seen him. Although it's just a pair of eyes, it's better than being in the dark and knowing nothing."

"Third..."

Jing Zhichen paused for a moment when he spoke here.

"Yesterday, Princess Zhi wanted to ask for an imperial decree to enter the palace, but I had someone hold her back, so she gave up. But when she is free, she will definitely go to the palace to ask for the imperial decree of Xiao Lu to grant the marriage. The prince of Zhi is domineering and absurd, and is not a good man, but Xiao Lu will not consider these things. She will agree to this matter just to embarrass me."

"Fourthly, even if you hadn't asked for marriage from the Prince Zhi's Mansion, your current situation in the Duke's Mansion would be very difficult. Not to mention you, your mother and brother are in the same situation. If you don't have someone to back you up, I'm afraid you won't be let off easily by the Duke this time, and your brother won't even think about becoming the Crown Prince. Status and position are just external things, but after being humiliated to this extent, don't you really want to fight for it back?"

Xu Xingyin had never thought that Jing Zhichen would speak so clearly. After thinking for a moment, he chuckled:

"You should have known before you came here, Your Highness. I can't refuse you."

"I don't have such a brilliant plan."

Jing Zhichen replied calmly, and only he knew the answer. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Xingyin's answer.

"Your Highness's conditions are very tempting, aren't they?"

Xu Xingyin did not comment, "It's just that your Highness's explanation was so thorough that it was beyond my expectation."

Jing Zhichen also understood what Xu Xingyin meant.

In fact, this matter would bring many benefits to Xu Xingyin. He could have expressed it more tactfully so that Xu Xingyin would be grateful and willing to work for him.

But he chose the simplest way of saying it, and explained it to Xu Xingyin bit by bit.

In this case, it is nothing more than a choice of weighing the pros and cons, which simply reduces the favor.

Jing Zhichen shook his head indifferently, disagreeing.

"You are very smart. Even if I don't tell you some things, you will know them anyway. Isn't trust the most important thing between allies? Cooperation is long-lasting only when both sides benefit. I will not hurt your interests for my own selfish reasons, so I will naturally not hide this from you."

"His Royal Highness."

Xu Xingyin called Jing Zhichen softly and suddenly smiled.

His eyes were filled with the golden color of the sunset, swaying warmly in the vortex, easily melting Jing Zhichen's usually cold and tender heart.

Then she said, "Thank you."

"Well, please give me your guidance..."

Unable to hold back the smile that was about to overflow from his chest, Jing Zhichen turned sideways to face Xu Xingyin. Behind him was the colorful twilight. He called out in a calm manner.

"Princess."

……

Ever since he and Jing Zhichen "secretly decided to spend their lives together", Xu Xingyin's life has become increasingly lazy.

Every day I either eat or sleep, and I cherish the days when I can still be lazy.

That night Xu Xingyin couldn't sleep, so he took the storybook and lay on the couch. Before he could read it, he saw Dangui and Danying walk into the room together.

Seeing that Xu Xingyin had not yet rested, Dangui was obviously a little surprised. She even forgot to say hello and pulled Danying to walk out.

Dangui was trained by the Chen family and has always attached great importance to rules. How could she have ever run out without performing formalities like this?

After a brief thought, Xu Xingyin realized that something was fishy, ​​so he quickly stopped the two of them.

While Dangui was still hesitating, Danying could no longer sit still. She turned around and complained to Xu Xingyin with an angry look on her face.

It is said that the people in the mansion are used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. These days, they have been wasting time on the people in Chenguang Courtyard. Even Xu Xingyin's meals require the big maids to take turns doing the rough work before half of the share is cut off for them.

Today, Dangui and Danying were again asked to do the rough work of washing clothes, and they were embarrassed by the fourth lady Shi.

It would have been fine if she had just verbally abused Dangui, but Shi even slapped her in the face.

The slap was so strong that half of Dangui's face was swollen.

Shi had become enemies with Xu Xingyin because of the Xu Wanru incident, so it was not surprising that she would make things difficult for the people in her courtyard.

Moreover, Dangui is the most respected maid in Chenguang Courtyard. There is no difference between slapping Dangui and slapping Xu Xingyin.

Before the imperial decree granting the marriage came down, Xu Xingyin had no intention of fighting back.

There are always some things that people can only see clearly when they are down and out. We must take advantage of this period of time to blow out all the evil spirits in the mansion.

Therefore, after hearing this, Xu Xingyin just sighed softly, stood up, found a few taels of silver in his makeup box and handed them to the two people.

"Starting tomorrow, you don't have to do those rough jobs anymore. If anyone makes things difficult for you, just give them the money to get rid of them. We all come out to work just for these few coppers. If there are benefits, we will naturally not make things difficult for you. As for other things..."

Xu Xingyin sighed again as she spoke, looking helpless, but in a moment she straightened her face again and said firmly:

"I may have lost my position now, but I still have a lot of time to live with. Just relax. I will seek justice for you sooner or later for the injustice you suffered today."

When words like these fall into the ears of those close to you, they are truly heartwarming.

But to others, it seems like a down-and-out person who is stubborn and stubborn.

No matter what the two of them were thinking, since Xu Xingyin said so, they could only thank him.

"Thank you, Miss, for your consideration for me."

Xu Xingyin quickly stopped the two from saluting and said.

"It's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest after working so hard today. Dangui, stay here. I have a box of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing plasters for you to use. The swelling needs to go down quickly."

After saying that, Xu Xingyin pulled Dangui into the inner room, and as soon as Danying left, he asked first.

"Dan Gui, what do you want to tell me?"
