It's Jing Zhichen.

The blade pierced his hand, but the man seemed not to feel the pain. He didn't even frown. Instead, he used his backhand to deflect the long knife.

When the people outside the house heard the noise, they immediately rushed in and subdued the thief inside the house.

Jing Zhichen's expression remained as cold as ever. Without even looking at the wound on his hand that was bleeding, he took out a pill and fed it to Xu Xingyin.

Seeing the dazed look on the little girl's face, his brows suddenly softened.

"It's all right," he said.

The overly familiar tone made the delicate features in front of him gradually blurry. Xu Xingyin opened his mouth to speak, but his voice was broken beyond recognition. After a long pause, he only said:

"Your Highness..."

"Ah."

The man responded softly, rubbing the top of her head as if to comfort her, "I'll take you away."

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Zhichen bent down and picked up Xu Xingyin, who was wearing a pink shirt on the couch, and walked out steadily.

Xu Xingyin obediently hugged Jing Zhichen's neck and leaned in his broad arms. The haze that had just shrouded her head dissipated, and the forced tiredness slowly filled her heart.

Walking out of the bridal chamber, the Black Tiger Cavalry directly under the Eastern Palace stood guard every three steps, holding swords.

The whole house was silent, so silent that only the sound of the jade pendant on Jing Zhichen's waist and his...

A steady heartbeat.

In the courtyard of the mansion, Ao Ying was holding Dong Hongbin to the ground with a sword. Everyone in the mansion was kneeling on the ground trembling, with a few disgusting corpses lying beside them in a shocking manner.

Those people were crawling on the ground submissively, but he was the only one who stood upright. He walked among the crowd at a leisurely pace, with the iron-helmeted soldiers leading the way.

His expression was cold and arrogant, his eyebrows were long and his eyes were as sharp as blades with a frightening coldness.

At this moment, Xu Xingyin truly felt for the first time that Jing Zhichen was not only an ally, but also...

Prince.

Jing Zhichen was born to be the crown prince who is high above everyone else and respected by all the people.

He is the crown prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, looking down on everything and having the power of life and death.

Those long-cherished wishes that others could not achieve were just a decision he made in a moment.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.

He has been very kind to himself.

When they arrived at the courtyard, without Jing Zhichen's instructions, Xiao Anzi considerately asked someone to bring a throne.

Jing Zhichen gently placed Xu Xingyin on the chair and said:

"Take a good rest."

"You ignorant boy, do you know who I am? You dare to trespass into my Dong Mansion. I think you are courting death!"

Xu Xingyin was about to speak when Dong Hongbin boldly shouted, "Well, I have always been friendly. Just let me go and I will not pursue this matter any further and will let you live."

Jing Zhichen slightly raised his eyelids and raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. Aoying on the side understood and raised the blade of the knife, cutting a bloody gash on Dong Hongbin's leg.

Dong Hongbin, who had always lived a life of luxury, cried out in pain. He never expected that the man in front of him would actually dare to murder an imperial official.

He raised his head angrily and was about to shout at him, but when he saw the pendant on the man's waist, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

The jade surface of excellent quality is engraved with a totem of a black bird chasing the sun. This totem is the family emblem of the current royal family, the Jing family, and represents the supreme imperial power.

However, not everyone can own a pendant engraved with the family emblem. Only the emperor of each generation and his eldest son or direct descendant can own it.

The person in front of him is so young, he must not be Emperor Yan Ning, but...

The eldest son of Emperor Yanning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had just held his coming-of-age ceremony with great fanfare last year—

Scenery stops the dust.

"Too...His Royal Highness..."

Dong Hongbin trembled like a sieve and kowtowed several times. "I am blind and have offended Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

When they heard Dong Hongbin kowtow to the elegant young man in front of them, the others finally reacted.

Dong Hongbin really hit a wall this time, as he actually provoked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Among the people on earth, some are accomplices in his evil deeds, some are fanning the flames, some are taking advantage of the power of others, and some are completely innocent.

Everyone lowered their heads, fearing that they would be caught doing something wrong.

"Excuse me?"

Jing Zhichen chuckled, took the handkerchief handed to him by Xiao Anzi and roughly wrapped the wound on his palm without even looking at Dong Hongbin.

"Colluding with profiteers and trafficking women for profit is one crime. Accepting bribes and disregarding the law is a second crime. You are so audacious that you kidnapped my Crown Princess and even attempted to assassinate her. This is a capital crime. All three crimes must be punished together. What crime can you commit that cannot be forgiven!"

"Your Highness, I am innocent! I have always been an honest official. What happened today... must be a misunderstanding! Your Highness, please do not listen to the slander of the thieves! As for the Crown Princess... I really don't know this person. No, this is the Crown Princess!"

Dong Hongbin said this, looked around and pointed directly at the two guards who were being held by the Black Tiger Cavalry.

"It was them. They acted on their own initiative. I hope Your Highness can see clearly!"

"There is no need to keep anyone who dares to hurt me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Ying, who was originally standing next to Dong Hongbin, drew his sword and flew straight over. The sharp blade pierced through the body of one of the guards, and blood splattered everywhere.

The remaining guard also fell to the ground under the sharp blade of the Black Tiger Cavalry.

Although Dong Hongbin had a lot of blood on his hands, this was the first time he faced death like today.

He immediately turned pale with fright, half bent his body, and didn't even dare to say a word of begging for mercy.

However, a little maid kneeling in the crowd seemed unable to withstand such stimulation. She screamed and almost fainted.

Jing Zhichen didn't want to hurt innocent people, but how could he ask Dong Hongbin to confess when a little maid was crying here? So he ordered Xiao Anzi next to him to take the person away.

But Xu Xingyin beside him hurriedly called out: "Your Highness, spare my life. Chunxiang is a maid who serves me!"

Jing Zhichen was stunned when he heard this, his eyes became colder, what is Xu Xingyin doing...

I was afraid that I would hurt the little maid.

She didn't understand him and was afraid of him, just like everyone else.

This realization made Jing Zhichen very unhappy.

But he still waved his hand. Seeing this, Xiao Anzi stepped aside to make way for him. Looking at Chun Xiang who had not yet reacted, he helplessly reminded him:

"Why don't you go and serve the Crown Princess?"

Chun Xiang was so frightened that he didn't even dare to respond. He hurriedly ran to stand beside Xu Xingyin. His frightened face made Jing Zhichen even more angry.

"Dong Hongbin, I know what you have done. I have spared your life only for the time being."

Jing Zhichen's expression did not change. He raised his leg and kicked Dong Hongbin hard. The ice in his eyes almost solidified.

"I believe you know your value better than I do. I am very busy and have no time to chat with you. If you don't want to talk, you don't have to talk anymore in the future."
