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

When Xu Xingyin broke into the lobby of the yamen alone, Jing Zhichen was trying a case of "civilians suing officials".

The case was complicated and difficult to deal with, so two days ago Jing Zhichen wrote a letter to Xu Xingyin to inform him that he was stuck in a case in Yuzhou and might be delayed for a few days in arriving in Beijing because of the case, so that Xu Xingyin's team could slow down.

Jing Zhichen, who was writing the letter at that time, did not expect that Xu Xingyin would come here because of a letter.

He didn't expect that Xu Xingyin would be so embarrassed.

The trial of the case had entered its final stage. Jing Zhichen was standing in front of the corrupt official holding the complaint. His resounding questioning made no one in the hall dare to respond. They all bowed their heads and stood upright, looking solemn.

Xu Xingyin was wearing a goose yellow palace dress with messy hair. The phoenix crown that symbolized her status was pinned crookedly in her hair. The other hair accessories were either lost or used as silver.

Her makeup was completely ruined, and her palace dress was so stained with mud and blood that it was almost impossible to tell the color. She looked extremely disheveled.

Even though she looked so disheveled now, the little girl's eyes were still surprisingly bright, like stars that had just been washed by heavy rain, appearing cleaner and brighter.

Xu Xingyin pushed through the crowd and stumbled in from outside. The people around Jing Zhichen recognized her, but she was in front of them in a moment.

He suddenly stopped in front of the man. Jing Zhichen subconsciously stretched out his hand, but before he could touch Xu Xingyin, she had already fallen weakly at his feet.

Xu Xingyin was able to enter the hall unimpeded, and the guards around Jing Zhichen naturally knew her. When the Crown Princess knelt like this, the servants beside her dared not accept such a gift, and immediately knelt down as well.

The people who came to watch the trial had never seen such a scene before. They thought it was some kind of etiquette and knelt down one after another.

Jing Zhichen didn't care about anyone else. His heart was completely focused on the petite figure in front of him. He stretched out his hand to help her, but the little girl did not accept his kindness. Instead, she slowly raised her head and looked him in the eye.

From the front of the hall to the streets, all of them were crawling on the ground.

Only the man in front of him, wearing a white robe with golden edges and auspicious clouds, stood there alone between heaven and earth...

His posture was as tall and straight as a bamboo, just like his proud character. He looked down at her, like a god in the clouds, gazing at the people in the world.

She finally held the hand he extended, and even this tiny movement took up almost all of her strength.

"Your Highness..."

Only two words were spoken in a fragmented tone, "We were ambushed when we passed the border of Liang County, and many were killed or injured..."

Xu Xingyin didn't need to say much. Jing Zhichen knew why she was in such a mess after just a few words. He frowned and helped her up.

"You get up first."

The little girl remained motionless and continued:

"My uncle died trying to save us, and Lu Xu was also seriously injured. The rest of us are hiding in the dense forest to avoid being hunted by the thieves. Your Highness, please send troops to rescue us!"

"Prince's order."

Jing Zhichen sighed. How could he not know what Xu Xingyin meant? He immediately held Xu Xingyin's hand and stood with the other hand behind his back.

"There are bandits causing trouble outside, and we cannot afford to lose time. Tell the Yuzhou garrison to gather their troops immediately, and lead the troops together with the Black Tiger Cavalry leader Yan Peisheng to quell the situation, and make sure to bring them back to me unharmed."

"Yes!"

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. Come on, get up."

After giving these instructions, the man turned sideways and took Xu Xingyin's hand, his tone was too gentle, and there was no trace of the crown prince who looked down on everyone just now.

Jing Zhichen like this gave Xu Xingyin a momentary illusion, as if the man in front of him had given all of his little tenderness to her.

"Ah."

This realization made Xu Xingyin's eyes a little sore. She exerted a little force on the hand that was resting on the man's palm, as if what she was holding was not only Jing Zhichen, but also all her hopes.

After receiving Jing Zhichen's order, Xu Xingyin finally felt relieved. The tension in his heart suddenly broke. The moment he stood up, his body and consciousness, which had been barely supporting him for a long time, finally shattered.

Xu Xingyin stumbled and fell headfirst into the man's arms stained with sandalwood. The last thing he was aware of was Jing Zhichen's panicked cry...

"Bright!"

……

Xu Xingyin slept for a long time. When he woke up again, Yan Peisheng and his group had led the army to rescue the Chen family and those officers and soldiers unharmed.

It’s a pity that the thieves knew they could not escape death, so most of them committed suicide by taking poison and left no clues.

Lu Xu escaped the disaster by hiding in the water, but he had already fainted when he was found by rescuers. Fortunately, Du Huaigu, with his extraordinary medical skills, managed to snatch him back from the hands of the King of Hell. He is now resting in a side courtyard.

Mei Hanxuan died. The knife wounded her vital parts, and the rescue conditions in the dense forest were extremely poor. She eventually did not survive.

Mei Hanrui was sent back to her hometown by Jing Zhichen, who also gave her some silver to help her settle down. If everything went well, she would have returned to her parents by now.

Jing Zhichen had to deal with the follow-up matters of the Yuzhou corrupt official case on the one hand, and was busy investigating the gang of thieves on the other. He was very busy.

Xu Xingyin probably guessed it, and was sensible enough not to disturb Jing Zhichen.

Therefore, Jing Zhichen knew that Xu Xingyin had woken up at night.

Jing Zhichen had just finished his work at the government office and was about to change his clothes and go to the backyard to see Xu Xingyin. As soon as he entered the study, he heard someone report that Xu Xingyin had woken up.

"How is she?"

"Mr. Huaigu said that the Crown Princess is fine, she just overexerted herself and rested for too long. I asked her about it, and Sister Danfeng said that the Crown Princess is eating well and sleeping well, and she is doing very well!"

Listening to others' description, Jing Zhichen remembered the cute look of the little girl eating with big mouthfuls, and couldn't help curling the corners of his lips and asked again:

"Did the Crown Princess say anything else?"

The visitor thought for a moment and replied, "The Crown Princess asked about the situation of the people in the Zhennan General's Mansion."

"anything else?"

"And the Mei sisters'."

"anything else?"

"And Lord Lu."

Jing Zhichen's smile faded a little after hearing this, but he still didn't give up, "No more?"

The visitor thought about it carefully, then shook his head in affirmation.

"Gone."

"..." Well, now Jing Zhichen's face was completely dark. He sneered and replied, "Very good."

Xiao Anzi, who went to prepare clothes for Jing Zhichen, had no idea what had happened outside. He took the change of clothes and walked forward respectfully.

"Your Highness, I will help you dress better and take you to the Crown Princess."

"It's so late, where are you going? Do you think you have so much free time? Take a bath and go to bed!"

Xiao Anzi was very confused after being scolded for no reason. Didn't Jing Zhichen rest on the couch at Xu Xingyin's side for the past two days?
