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

After all, her future son-in-law was here, and Chen couldn't lose her composure too much, so she sat back in her seat and admonished Xu Xingyin a few words according to custom, then called Xu Chaoge into the house.

According to etiquette, Xu Chaoge, as the eldest brother, was supposed to send Xu Xingyin to the bridal sedan.

Xu Chaoge carried Xu Xingyin out of the house. This road, which he had disliked for being so long for more than ten years, seemed so short to him for the first time.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Chaoge finally spoke carefully:

"When you are alone in the palace, don't let yourself be wronged. If the prince bullies you, just write back and my mother and I will find a way."

It was rare for Xu Chaoge to speak so kindly, and Xu Xingyin didn't want to make the atmosphere too heavy, so he jokingly responded:

"He is the prince, be careful and punish me for being disrespectful..."

Before Xu Xing finished speaking, he heard Xu Chaoge's resounding response.

"Don't be afraid of that!"

After Xu Chaoge said this, the brother and sister were silent for a moment. Xu Xingyin gently tightened the hand around Xu Chaoge's neck and whispered:

"Thank you, brother."

The brother and sister, surrounded by their mothers-in-law and maids, finally walked out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Jing Zhichen deliberately lagged behind for a short distance to allow the brother and sister to have a private conversation.

Only then did he slowly walk out of the door and nodded politely to Xu Chaoge.

"Thank you, Brother Chaoge."

In terms of age, Jing Zhichen is older than Xu Chaoge and his sister.

Now that Jing Zhichen calls him "brother", it can be seen that he is following the generation status of his future wife, which also gives Xu Chaoge enough face.

But Xu Chaoge, who was still immersed in the feeling of reluctance, did not realize this. He just nodded unceremoniously and reluctantly handed Xu Xingyin to Jing Zhichen.

Jing Zhichen reached out and picked up Xu Xingyin. Just as he was about to put her into the bridal sedan, he saw Xu Chaoge pulling the hem of her wedding dress's sleeve with one hand.

Xu Xingyin didn't say anything. Jing Zhichen thought she was reluctant to let her go, so he looked away without saying anything.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything, and the matchmaker beside him did not dare to say anything more.

Finally, Xu Chaoge realized that something was wrong, so he let go and whispered to Jing Zhichen:

"In the future, I hope Your Highness will take good care of my sister."

"As it should be."

Jing Zhichen responded softly, smiled politely at Xu Chaoge, lifted his robe and mounted his horse. The ceremonial officer shouted when he saw this.

"Let's get the sedan chair ready!"

The wedding carriage entered the palace with a lot of banging and knocking. Xu Xingyin was supported by a group of palace servants. For several hours, she could only see the smooth floor beneath her feet.

The group stopped in front of the Yuhe Palace, where Emperor Yanning and Empress Lu both sat in the palace courtyard.

The stairs leading to the palace from here are a symbol of power, and the palace servants can no longer continue to serve forward.

Jing Zhichen moved sideways and took her hand. Xu Xingyin was stunned and subconsciously pulled back, but saw that the man held it even tighter.

"The rest of the way, we have to walk on our own."

Jing Zhichen's words were full of double meanings, and Xu Xingyin's heart suddenly stopped for a few beats.

Yes, when she made that decision, she was destined to walk with Jing Zhichen.

They can only walk the future path by themselves.

She had no way out, and the only thing she could trust was the pair of bony hands in front of her.

"it is good."

Xu Xingyin held Jing Zhichen's hand back and responded softly.

The two held hands and walked up the stairs together.

The long hem of the dress meandered down, and the delicate dragon and phoenix embroidery patterns intertwined on the steps of the white marble city, just like their fate, destined at this moment to become each other's lifelong obsession.

After completing the tedious wedding process without any major incidents, Xu Xingyin was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes.

After returning to the East Palace, the two completed the tedious process under the watchful eyes of a large group of matchmakers and palace maids. The ceremonial officer then sang the wedding words joyfully and the group of palace maids retreated.

Xu Xingyin watched them leave eagerly. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Jing Zhichen suddenly stand up and take two steps forward. He stood there with his hands open, motionless like a wooden man.

"what are you doing?"

Adhering to the good virtue of asking when one does not understand something, Xu Xingyin spoke curiously.

"Why? Didn't the Duke's Mansion teach the Crown Princess how to serve her husband?"

Jing Zhichen turned his head and looked at Xu Xingyin who had a confused look on her face, and was actually amused by her.

"Change my clothes."

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, don't you have hands?"

Xu Xingyin raised his eyebrows, and the word contempt was almost written on his face.

"I'm sorry, there is no such rule in the Duke's Mansion."

"It is a wife's duty to serve her husband."

Jing Zhichen still maintained that posture, with an arrogant look as if saying "Why do I need long hands?"

"Ah."

Xu Xingyin chuckled, not bothering to put on any pose, she lifted her skirt, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you remembered it wrong. This marriage between you and me is for our mutual benefit. You want to keep the position of Crown Princess, and I want to use this opportunity to investigate the Zhennan General's Mansion. Since we are not a real couple, how can we talk about serving each other?"

Look, Xu Xingyin spoke with such confidence that Jing Zhichen almost believed it.

"Indeed, I remembered it wrongly. It turns out that the Crown Princess did not marry into the Eastern Palace because she wanted something from me."

"..."

Having been hit in the sore spot, Xu Xingyin replied angrily, "Yes! If it weren't for your kindness, I really wouldn't have the blessing of being the Crown Princess! But your Highness can rest assured, I will work hard to pay off the debt and reconcile with your Highness as soon as possible!"

"If the Crown Princess hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. Since the Crown Princess is so concerned about it, I can't slack off."

The last two words "divorce" hit Jing Zhichen's ears like a heavy hammer, making him feel unhappy. He called someone in and gave him instructions in angrily.

"Send me some study treasures. I want to settle accounts with the Crown Princess tonight."

Therefore, the wedding night of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was accounted for half the night.

Jing Zhichen wrote a long list. In addition to the 15,000 taels for damaged clothes and the gray market, there were also some miscellaneous debts later. After deducting the decimals, the total amount was 15,300 taels.

"Humph!"

After seeing this account, Xu Xingyin became even angrier and couldn't sleep well from then on.

Her mind was full of curse words for Jing Zhichen. This guy had a really good memory. He even calculated the meal money with her clearly!

Jing Zhichen, on the other hand, was very happy to see Xu Xingyin was in a bad mood. He occupied the wedding bed and slept soundly.

The next day, Xu Xingyin woke up to the sound of the ceremonial officer greeting him respectfully. He covered his lips with his hand, and before he could yawn, he was frightened and held back by Jing Zhichen, who was sitting beside the bed in only his shirt.

The little girl jumped up from the bed and pointed at Jing Zhichen in horror. Before she could say anything, the man quickly covered her mouth.

"Are you planning on letting everyone see your rough sleeping posture, Princess?"
