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

Everyone took their own tasks, prepared a little, and then went out.

Although Xiao Anzi did not have to carry out the mission with Xuan Yao and the others, Jing Zhichen arranged for him to go out and do other things.

There was no servant at Xu Xingyin's place. After much thought, Xiao Anzi decided to go to the courtyard where Xu Xingyin lived before leaving.

He told Xu Xingyin that everyone was going out to investigate today. If she wanted him to do something, she would have to wait until the evening.

Everyone was busy with their work, so Xu Xingyin naturally understood. He responded with a few words and let Xiao Anzi leave.

Three points of the world are moonlit nights, and two points are rogues. Yangzhou.

Among the beauties of Jiangnan, Yangzhou has always been a pearl among them.

The scenery of Yangzhou in autumn is very beautiful, but Xu Xingyin has been in a bad mood recently and rarely goes out. Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one at home today, she changed into comfortable clothes, went out of the yard and strolled around.

When he reached the door of the study, Xu Xingyin thought that since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well go in and read a few books to kill time.

Unexpectedly, when I pushed the door open, I saw an unexpected person.

Scenery stops the dust.

Jing Zhichen sat upright at the desk, his ink-blue shirt fitting in with the screen with clouds and mountains behind him.

He held a memorial book in his hand with a focused expression, his brows were furrowed like two small hills, but it couldn't hide his still handsome face.

The man didn't seem to expect anyone to come. He looked up at the door and saw Xu Xingyin. She smiled awkwardly and said to him:

"I'm sorry. I was just looking for a book to kill time. I didn't know Your Highness was working here. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you."

Still using the same polite tone, the two hills on Jing Zhichen's brows were getting higher and higher, and he was no longer as irritable as before.

"That's fine. The original owner of this house was also a book lover. He collected a lot of books in his study. If you want to read something, just come in and pick it out."

"No need."

Xu Xingyin waved his hand quickly, "I'm sorry to disturb your highness. I'll leave now."

"Xu Xingyin."

Unexpectedly, the man called her name loudly, with a gloomy look on his face, "Are you hiding from me?"

"..."

Xu Xingyin paused slightly when she heard that. When she heard the man calling himself "this lady", she knew that he was going to use his status to pressure her again.

Then he turned around and went into the study, "Your Highness, please forgive me for worrying too much. I am just worried that I have disturbed your work. Since Your Highness does not mind, I will not be polite."

Xu Xingyin went into the house obediently, and Jing Zhichen achieved his goal. Logically, he should be happy.

But when he saw the little girl's obedient look, he felt a breath of foul air stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.

Jing Zhichen was born as the crown prince, second only to the emperor. From childhood to adulthood, he was accustomed to being respected and obeyed by others, and was also accustomed to being controlled by power and status.

The same was true for Xu Xingyin. She submitted to him, but he was unexpectedly unhappy and even a little annoyed.

His nominal wife can respect him and love him, but she should not be afraid of him.

He flipped through the letter in his hand for a long time, but didn't read a single word.

Not knowing how many mountain roads and canals his mind had turned around, Jing Zhichen sighed softly and looked up at Xu Xingyin.

"That day, I didn't really want to punish you, it was just..."

"I know. Your Highness, do you really think I'm that ignorant little girl?"

Xu Xingyin turned his head and chuckled, interrupting Jing Zhichen's words.

"As the old saying goes: A gentleman is ashamed if he does not speak the truth while in office; a gentleman is ashamed if he speaks the truth but does not act the truth. I did overstep my bounds that day, and Your Highness was right to teach me a lesson. Even though we are not actually husband and wife, since I hold the title of Crown Princess, I should be responsible for Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Eastern Palace."

"Um……"

It was another long string of truths that blocked all the explanations Jing Zhichen had in mind. It seemed that the rest of the words were inappropriate, so he simply brought up another matter.

"It's always a bit inconvenient for you to not have a maid to serve you. I'll ask Xiao Anzi to find a smart maid later."

"No need."

Xu Xingyin gently rejected Jing Zhichen, "I appreciate your kindness, but our current work in Yangzhou is still mainly about spying, and having more people in the mansion is a bit worrying. I am not a rich lady who needs others to serve me in everything, so it is not a problem for me to take care of my daily life by myself."

Xu Xingyin spoke politely and gently, and Jing Zhichen did not think it was inappropriate, so he put his attention back on the memorial on the case.

In a corner of the courtyard, a man sat at a desk reading manuscripts, while a woman stood in front of a bookshelf reading silently.

The autumn wind in Yangzhou suddenly blows, filling the room with the fragrance of osmanthus; the bright sun hangs high in the sky, casting a layer of warmth on the house.

Xiao Anzi hurried back from outside and saw this scene.

It is really rare that the two people who were quarreling yesterday can live in harmony under the same roof today.

Xiao Anzi also had good eyesight for a rare time and retreated quietly.

By the way, I also took their lunch away.

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity.

No matter how beautiful the scene is, it can’t resist a hungry stomach.

At noon, the two men helplessly discovered that the Crown Prince, who had planned everything, realized that he had sent everyone out and had not left anyone to cook.

Jing Zhichen originally wanted to take Xu Xingyin out for dinner after he finished marking these booklets, but Xu Xingyin said that she had a way, so she let Jing Zhichen take care of his own things while she went to the kitchen to take a look.

All the memorials on Jing Zhichen's case were sent all the way from the capital by express carriage.

There were some urgent matters among them, so after weighing the pros and cons, Jing Zhichen agreed to Xu Xingyin's method and continued to sit at his desk and review the papers.

When he finished reviewing the memorials on hand, Xu Xingyin had not returned yet. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Although Xu Xingyin has not behaved like a delicate greenhouse flower all the way, she is, after all, a spoiled young lady from a wealthy family. How much can she know about the affairs in the kitchen?

Don't get hurt then, that would be more trouble than gain.

Thinking of this, Jing Zhichen stood up and hurried towards the kitchen.

"Xu Xingyin!"

Before he approached the kitchen, he saw smoke in the room. Jing Zhichen's heart tightened and he quickly walked in while calling Xu Xingyin's name.

When he reached the door, Jing Zhichen saw a small head raised from the stove.

The little face was greyed by the smoke, but the pair of round eyes were still full of charm.

Seeing that no one was fine, Jing Zhichen breathed a sigh of relief, waved away the swirling smoke with his hand, and frowned.

"What are you doing? Setting fire? If you can't do it, forget it. Come out to eat with me."

"Your Highness has never cooked before, so you don't know the secrets. It's normal for there to be a lot of smoke when cooking."
