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

Xu Xingyin widened his eyes and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Lu Xu, are you going to die?"

Lu Xu did not comment, his beautiful phoenix eyes were wet, and his words sounded like a plea and a sigh.

"You always seek the truth in everything, Jiaojiao. I am just seeking my own truth."

Outside the carriage, Jing Zhichen's footsteps were getting closer, but Xu Xingyin was suppressed by Lu Xu and could not move.

As the two sides were in a stalemate, thousands of thoughts flooded into Xu Xingyin's mind. He sighed and finally gave in.

"Yes, the prince and I are not really married. I protect the East Palace from being invaded and controlled by thieves for him, and he protects my mother and brother for me, and investigates the unjust case in the Zhennan General's Mansion."

“Are you in a partnership?”

"Yes, when he has enough power in the future and can no longer be coerced by others, it will be time for us to divorce."

Xu Xingyin didn't know what kind of mentality he had when he said this. He only knew that when he said this, it felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

At that time, Jing Zhichen had already reached the front of the car.

The moment he lifted the curtain, he met Xu Xingyin's eyes which were a little moist, while Lu Xu was sitting neatly dressed next to him.

"Crown Princess?" Jing Zhichen was stunned.

Xu Xingyin hurriedly calmed down, then bowed according to the rules, and explained: "I came to see Lord Lu to ask if there are any other clues about the manhunt."

Jing Zhichen accepted Xu Xingyin's explanation, "Do you have an answer?"

"Nothing."

Xu Xingyin shook his head in disappointment. "The thief is cautious. I'm afraid he has been plotting for a long time."

"Ah."

Jing Zhichen nodded and calmly extended his hand, "In that case, Crown Princess, please go back with me."

Xu Xingyin was stunned when he heard this. It took him a while to react and he said "Okay".

Before the outstretched hand fell into Jing Zhichen's hand, Jing Zhichen embraced it with his big hand, and Xu Xingyin fell into his arms.

This person acted so frivolously, yet he acted so confidently and calmly.

"Jiaojiao has just recovered from a serious illness, so I'll take you back."

After saying this, without caring about other people's reactions, he just picked up Xu Xingyin and left, leaving everyone with only a free and easy back.

In the carriage, Lu Xu watched the two people walking away and silently clenched his fists.

Just now, Xu Xingyin asked him, don’t you want to live?

But who would have known that after escaping death, he would realize that life was not the most important thing to him.

Since Xu Xingyin and Jing Zhichen are not actually husband and wife, then just wait, one day, he will marry his beloved girl home.

Someday.

On the other side, as soon as Xu Xingyin entered Jing Zhichen's carriage, he saw the wet ink on the open folder on the desk.

Given Jing Zhichen's cautious nature, one could tell that he must have left in a hurry just now.

"Your Highness just came here specifically to look for me?"

Even though he tried his best to maintain a calm expression, Xu Xingyin could feel his heart beating wildly because of these words.

"Ah."

Jing Zhichen responded softly, but his eyes darkened when he saw Xu Xingyin's calm expression.

He still remembered the slightly red eyes of Xu Xingyin in front of Lu Xu just now.

In Jing Zhichen's eyes, Xu Xingyin has always been a smart and insightful woman, but as a wife, intelligence or not has never been important.

Compared to her calmness, Jing Zhichen wanted to see a flesh-and-blood Xu Xingyin who could cry and laugh, but...

Xu Xingyin was always calm in front of him, just like... an ordinary person, polite and distant.

This realization made Jing Zhichen feel a little depressed, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his tone and spoke in a businesslike manner.

"You shouldn't have gone to see Lu Xu. You should know that people's words are scary." Jing Zhichen said.

"I……"

The words of explanation came to her lips, but she held them back. Xu Xingyin hung her head and replied softly, "Well, I know I was wrong. There won't be a next time."

Jing Zhichen felt like he had punched cotton and felt very uncomfortable. He sighed and went straight to the point.

"As for the pursuit, there are no clues at the moment. What are your plans?"

“It’s not like there are no clues at all.”

"Oh?"

"I've been thinking a lot these past few days. Those people came here for the Zhennan General's Mansion."

Jing Zhichen also agreed. "If it hadn't been implicated in the Zhang Zishi case, the Zhennan General's Mansion would have had no chance of turning things around. Now that there are signs of a reversal, these people can't sit still. There must be something hidden behind the Zhennan General's Mansion case."

Xu Xingyin felt quite sad when he heard this. "Grandpa never told anyone about the story behind this. Perhaps when he learned about those secrets, he guessed that this day would come."

"If General Zhennan were still alive, he would definitely not want to see you so sad."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"You are Welcome."

Jing Zhichen looked at Xu Xingyin seriously, "You don't have to be discouraged. No matter who those people are targeting, they haven't achieved their goal this time, so they will definitely make the next move. We just have to wait."

Meeting Jing Zhichen's determined eyes, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but feel more confident and said with a smile.

"Your Highness is right."

As the two were chatting, they heard Xiao Anzi come in and report that an urgent report had arrived from the capital city eight hundred miles away.

Jing Zhichen did not avoid Xu Xingyin and directly called someone to report.

"A strange thing happened recently. Master Jiang was unsure about what to do, so he sent a humble servant to report it."

"What's the matter?"

"Master Jiang has been keeping an eye on Lai Xiangyan for such a long time, but he has not made any move. A few nights ago, he suddenly went out in the dark, and we hurriedly followed him. As a result, we saw him sneaking to the Zhu family at the end of the alley and beating the head of the Zhu family with a sack."

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhichen nodded without saying anything, but handed the letter in his hand to Xu Xingyin.

Xu Xingyin naturally took the letter and glanced at it, then he remembered who this Lai Xiangyan was.

The former Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lai Xiangyan, had a son who died in the sensational silver needle case at the time.

At that time, Lai Xiangyan insisted that it was Jing Zhichen who killed people to silence them, and he even risked his own life and property to sue Jing Zhichen.

Later, after Shuntian Prefecture and Xu Xingyin cleared Jing Zhichen of all charges, in order to uncover the mastermind behind the incident, they specifically asked Jing Zhichen to spare Lai Xiang Yan's life and secretly monitored him.

After such a long time, Lai Xiangyan finally made some move.

"Does Lai Xiangyan usually have any conflicts with the head of that family?" Xu Xingyin asked.

The soldier who delivered the letter shook his head. "That's the weird part. Normally, the two families have a good relationship. Lai Xiangyan now makes a living by teaching the children in the alley to read and write. Zhu's son is also his student. Logically speaking, he is also half his employer."

Xu Xingyin and Jing Zhichen looked at each other and agreed that this matter was not simple, so they gave the order.

"Send the message back. We have to keep an eye on Lai Xiangyan and not let down our guard. Do not act rashly. We will investigate this matter after we return to Beijing."
