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

The prince's entourage entered the capital at the end of the month.

The people along the street knelt on the ground, shouting "Long live the prince!" and saying that the prince was wise and brave, and that he had eliminated harm for the people, and that he was the pride of the country.

The case of Zhang Zishi was originally a secret trial, and not many people knew about this news. Even if the news leaked, it would not be known to everyone.

Unless someone deliberately spread it.

Jing Zhichen has entered the capital. If Emperor Yan Ning heard about the people's actions, who knows what kind of disaster would happen.

After all, the emperor's suspicion is the most serious.

After a brief moment of confusion, Xu Xingyin immediately discovered something was wrong.

Jing Zhichen was still flipping through the book in his hand in an orderly manner, and didn't seem to want to get involved.

"Your Highness, don't you find it strange?" Xu Xing couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, don't pay attention to it." Jing Zhichen didn't even raise his eyelids. "If you have this idea, you might as well think about how to deal with Xiao Lu later. She suffered a loss from us last time, and she must want to get back at us."

Xu Xingyin half complained and half seemed depressed, "Being the Crown Princess is such a tough job for you."

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhichen looked up at Xu Xingyin and chuckled, with a hint of doting in his tone.

"Crown Princess, this pirate ship of mine is not so easy to get off."

Xu Xingyin curled his lips, "It is indeed a pirate ship."

While they were chatting, the ceremonial procession had already passed through most of the capital and entered the palace gate.

After entering the palace, the first thing they had to do was to pay their respects to Emperor Yanning and Empress Lu.

After returning to the capital, Emperor Yanning knew what the people had done, which made Xu Xingyin somewhat uneasy.

But what was unexpected was that upon hearing that Jing Zhichen had returned to the palace, Emperor Yanning actually deliberately dismissed the court officials in the imperial study. When he saw Jing Zhichen, he changed his serious expression and became immediately amiable.

He had no imperial airs at all, but rather was a bit like an old mother, with only Jing Zhichen, his son, in his eyes.

Even though Xu Xingyin was such a big person standing next to him, Emperor Yan Ning didn't even look at her.

Jing Zhichen, on the other hand, was quite cold.

Apart from politely responding to Emperor Yan Ning's questions, he did not say a word more, just like an ordinary monarch and his subjects.

Emperor Yan Ning seemed accustomed to Jing Zhichen's attitude. He didn't show any displeasure at all and continued to ask about his well-being.

The father and son chatted for a few more sentences, and then Jing Zhichen said goodbye and left, saying that he was going to Fengming Palace to pay his respects to Queen Lu.

Although Emperor Yan Ning did not say it explicitly, his reluctance was evident in his words. Seeing that he could not persuade his son, he remembered his daughter-in-law who had been left out for a long time.

After receiving the resentment from Emperor Yan Ning, Xu Xingyin was speechless and had to bite the bullet and reconcile.

"It is a rule to pay respects to the Empress, and we must not neglect it. However, it would be boring for Your Highness to listen to our idle chatter among women. How about I wait for you here after paying respects? We can also have a good chat about the Zhang Zishi case."

The first half of Xu Xingyin's sentence started with rules, which not only explained that Jing Zhichen was not ruthless, but also appeased Emperor Yan Ning.

The second half of the sentence ended with the case, forcing Jing Zhichen to listen.

Jing Zhichen naturally understood the implication of Xu Xingyin's words. He couldn't help but look at her, but didn't say much. He just nodded.

"it is good."

The satisfied Emperor Yan Ning smiled from ear to ear, and even felt more favorable towards his daughter-in-law Xu Xingyin.

……

After leaving the imperial study, before Xu Xingyin could even open his mouth, Jing Zhichen interrupted him.

"My beloved concubine, please stay out of my business between me and my father."

When Jing Zhichen said this, his expression was different from usual, which made Xu Xingyin read a hint of warning in his words.

Xu Xingyin was in a dilemma and was very angry, so he just retorted.

"Then I'd like to trouble Your Highness to take care of the household affairs and not let them affect me."

What I meant was, don't let your father come looking for me.

The couple couldn't agree on this matter and secretly kept a grudge against each other. After paying their respects to Queen Lu, Jing Zhichen didn't bother to argue with Xu Xingyin and returned to the imperial study with a flick of his sleeves.

As soon as Jing Zhichen left, Yang Mingxue was summoned to Fengming Palace. Her beautiful eyes swept across the room, and she seemed a little disappointed when she didn't see Jing Zhichen.

Xiao Lu took a sip of tea and tried his best to make things difficult for Xu Xingyin.

"Mingxue is late. The prince just left."

"My cousin, you have been exhausted from the journey. Mingxue should come and say hello to you."

Fortunately, Yang Mingxue was not stupid enough and did not ask Empress Xiao Lu to do something stupid. Instead, she smiled and served the dessert brought by the palace maid to Empress Xiao Lu.

"This cake is quite good. Tell the imperial kitchen to make two more for the Crown Princess to take back so that the Crown Prince can have a taste as well."

The reward from the elders was kindness, Xu Xingyin had no choice but to accept it and could only smile.

"Then I, your Highness, would like to thank your mother for the reward."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mingxue's expression changed.

"Your Highness, you are joking, right? Have you forgotten that the Crown Prince is allergic to peanuts?"

Xu Xingyin was stunned when she heard this. This matter...she really didn't know.

"Look, I am really old and confused. The Crown Princess is also a filial daughter and doesn't want to disappoint me."

Empress Lu chuckled and tried to smooth things over, and the nanny beside her quickly gave Empress Lu a way out.

"The Queen is not fully recovered yet. It's time to take medicine."

"That's good. The medicine is bitter and it will fumigate the girls."

Empress Xiao Lu took advantage of the situation and immediately ordered the nanny beside her to escort the two people out of the palace.

After leaving Fengming Palace, the two of them sent away the maid sent by Empress Xiao Lu.

Outside Fengming Palace is the famous Jiuqu Lake in the imperial palace.

The lake view and the Nine-Bend Bridge complement each other, and the willow trees are swaying in the beautiful scenery. Jiuqu Lake is the only way leading to the outside of Fengming Palace, and for this reason it is known as the Fairy Phoenix Lake.

Xu Xingyin and Yang Mingxue walked on the bridge one after the other. When they reached the middle, Yang Mingxue suddenly quickened her pace, pushed aside the maid beside Xu Xingyin, and walked side by side with her.

"You don't even know His Highness's most basic preferences. Does the Crown Princess ever take His Highness seriously?"

"Mrs. Sha keeps talking about other people's husbands, but has she ever taken Mr. Sha to heart?"

This casual question made Yang Mingxue blush.

"If I hadn't sacrificed myself and married into the Sha family, how could I have helped Your Highness get out of this predicament? Xu Xingyin, you are a person who enjoys the fruits of others' labor, why are you so arrogant?"

"The arrogant one is Madam Sha."

Xu Xingyin raised his eyebrows and responded, "If I hadn't helped His Highness to get rid of the false accusation, I'm afraid there would be no Madam Sha later."

"So what if you have helped His Highness before?"

Yang Mingxue argued harshly, "Husband and wife are not mutually beneficial businesses. What is more precious is the love and tolerance between each other. I am willing to marry someone I don't like for His Highness. What about you? How can someone who can't even remember his food allergies and who is not willing to spend the slightest bit of effort on His Highness occupy the position of Crown Princess!"

"Even if I am not worthy, I am still the prince's legitimate wife. No matter how much Madam Sha tries, she has nothing to do with the prince."

"you!"

While the two sides were arguing, someone fell into the water with a "thump", causing a splash.
