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

Bringing up her identity as "your concubine" was also a reminder to the man in front of her that although she was a subject, she was also his wife in name.

Of course, the prince's status is noble, and to save the princess's face, there have been few princesses who have performed great courtesy to the prince. After all, the best way for a couple to get along is to be of one mind.

"Oh, so you still remember your identity as the Crown Princess."

The man just chuckled, and his gloomy face seemed like a beautiful sculpture tempered by ice. However, no matter how perfect his body was, it could not hide the mockery in his eyes.

"Dayan women should put morality first in their conduct, and wives should be even more strict in observing women's virtues. And you, as the Crown Princess and a role model for women in the country, dare to accept a man's personal belongings on the street?

With so many eyes watching you, if one person recognizes your appearance, the Eastern Palace and even the entire imperial family will be ashamed! Acting like this is disloyal to me, unfilial to the elders of the royal family, and unjust to the country and the people.

Such disloyal, unfilial, and unjust behavior, can't I punish you?!"

After saying this, the man's face looked so gloomy that ink could drip from it. The displeasure in his eyes grew more and more intense, sweeping over Xu Xingyin's body like a passing wind. There was no trace of the young man with the lantern by the river yesterday.

The disappointment and anger in Jing Zhichen's expression were like a needle, accurately piercing the softest part of Xu Xingyin's heart.

The pain made her pause, but she finally gave up in such a look and slowly...

Kneel down.

Street, men, personal belongings.

With just these three words, Xu Xingyin knew why Jing Zhichen was blaming him.

She cried bitterly in order to get the turtle slave to talk.

She accepted the handkerchief handed to her by the eunuch slave and used it.

He never thought about why she was like that, but just blamed her for being immoral and losing face in front of his subordinates.

In that case, what else could she explain?

"I accept the punishment."

He asked her to kneel, and she knelt.

Such a "wise king" is really blind for her.

Xu Xingyin really knelt down, but the man seemed even angrier.

She paced in the hall with her hands behind her back for two steps, and finally left the room with her sleeves swung, leaving only one sentence:

"A small punishment and a big warning, two hours."

The door slammed shut, raising a cloud of dust. Perhaps I was blinded by the dust, and tears fell uncontrollably.

I feel wronged. Extremely wronged.

Jing Zhichen, this bastard!

……

On the other side, that bastard, oh no, it was Jing Zhichen who was listening to the report from the secret guard with a sullen face.

"I have carefully investigated the merchant that Lord Qiongguang mentioned. According to the investigation, the owner behind this merchant is a wealthy businessman named Liu from Yangzhou. This man is called Liu Yongfeng, and he is the richest man in Yangzhou. The commercial taxes he pays each year account for 40% of all taxes in Yangzhou. Therefore, he is regarded as a distinguished guest by the government and is very famous in the local area."

"This person is quite famous, I'm afraid we can't investigate rashly, the only way is to investigate secretly."

Xuan Yao thought for a moment, then bowed to Jing Zhichen and said, "The Crown Princess said that the girls with the best qualifications in Xiangyu Pavilion will be sent to other places for secret training. If the monthly fixed expenditure of Xiangyu Pavilion is used for secret training expenses, it can be explained."

Qiong Guang held a different view, "Liu Yongfeng is not short of money, why would he secretly train women for others? I think that Liu Yongfeng values ​​those women."

"Ah."

Jing Zhichen responded nonchalantly, turning the ring on his hand as if thinking about something, "I heard that raising skinny horses is popular in Yangzhou, what if these women are skinny horses?"

"What His Highness said is absolutely true."

Jing Zhichen's words enlightened everyone, and they all expressed their agreement, but they were also confused about another thing.

"Then what is the relationship between Xiangyu Pavilion and Liu Yongfeng?"

“This matter remains to be explored.”

Jing Zhichen shook his head without coming to a conclusion. Finally, he gave another order: "Everyone, get ready. We will set off for Yangzhou tomorrow. Xuan Yao will have to go ahead and find a suitable house. It is always inconvenient to stay in an inn."

"Yes."

Everyone accepted the order, but Jing Zhichen did not ask to leave. When everyone was confused, Qiongguang saw Jing Zhichen's frowning brows and was suddenly enlightened and smiled.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, if it weren't for the Crown Princess's cleverness, we wouldn't have been able to connect these things so quickly. The Crown Princess should be credited with the greatest credit."

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhichen snorted barely audibly, as if to say, “There is some truth to this. I’m convinced,” and then he said, “That’s it.”

"Well, then you can go and tell them that the merits and demerits are offset, and ask the Crown Princess to return to her room."

"Yes."

Qiongguang agreed, and Jing Zhichen waved his hand to let everyone leave and rest.

……

Xu Xingyin kept cursing for half an hour. When Xiao Anzi came over with food, he happened to hear the woman's low cursing coming from the room.

"Son of a bitch!"

"..."

Xiao Anzi was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The young lady in the room would be in trouble if others heard this!

Alas, Your Highness is the same. Although the Crown Princess did some things that were out of line, she did have good intentions after all. Unexpectedly, Your Highness punished her in such a way. A woman is so thin-skinned, how can she not feel aggrieved?

Xiao Anzi understood the reason, but he hesitated and lingered at the door.

If I go in, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be angry. If I don't go in, it won't be good for the Crown Princess to starve.

It's a difficult job, with a dilemma!

As he was wandering around, he saw Qiong Guang walking towards him from afar. Seeing Xiao Anzi's embarrassed look, Qiong Guang knew what he was worried about, so he smiled.

"Why are you standing there? Just send her in. By the way, His Highness just said that the rapid progress of this matter was due to the Crown Princess's cleverness, so the merits and demerits are offset. You can send the Crown Princess back to her room to rest."

Although Jing Zhichen punished Xu Xingyin, he also protected Xu Xingyin's face.

Except for Xiao Anzi and a few other close associates, no one else knew about this matter.

Therefore, it would be more appropriate to let Xiao Anzi pass on this message.

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

Judging from Qiongguang's observation, Jing Zhichen had never intended to punish Xu Xingyin, but was just taking the opportunity to give Xu Xingyin a warning.

As long as Xu Xingyin explained a few words at the time, or showed a little weakness, the matter would have been over. After all...

Jing Zhichen can’t have the words “come and comfort me” written on his face, right?

Who would have thought that Xu Xingyin was a stubborn person. He knelt down without saying a word.

It was not right to ask Jing Zhichen to punish her, nor was it right not to punish her. He had to rack his brains to find excuses for her.

Oh, it’s such a hassle.

Qiongguang thought.

"Buddha bless!"

However, Xiao Anzi's eyes lit up when he heard that, and then he clasped his hands together and smiled, then he took the tray and went into the house.

But unexpectedly, our Crown Princess also has a bad temper.

With the words "Your Highness the Crown Prince has spoken with such force, how can you change your mind from one day to the next?", Xiao Anzi was turned away, and the carefully prepared dinner was also refused entry...
