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

The person who fell into the water was Yang Mingxue, with whom he had been arguing just now.

Yang Mingxue's maid screamed and said loudly.

"The Crown Princess is pushing someone!"

In the lake, Yang Mingxue flapped his wings a few times and gradually sank.

Xu Xingyin was too lazy to argue. He turned his head and gave a few instructions. Then he saw Danfeng and the other palace maids jumping in like dumplings.

Xu Xingyin assigned people from the Eastern Palace, and since Dan Feng was also a good swimmer, they quickly fished Yang Mingxue out of the lake.

As soon as Yang Mingxue landed, Jing Zhichen, who had received the news, arrived.

On the left is Xu Xingyin, who is dressed in palace clothes, adorned with gold and jade, and with exquisite makeup;

On the right was Yang Mingxue, who was soaking wet, her clothes in tatters, and shivering pitifully.

No matter who looks at it, Yang Mingxue is the one being bullied.

Jing Zhichen frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The maidservant beside Yang Mingxue had followed her for a long time and was quite familiar with Jing Zhichen.

Having been influenced by his young lady's "true love theory" for so many years, he had long regarded Xu Xingyin as a woman who had stolen someone else's love, so naturally he was not very polite when speaking to her.

"Your Highness, my young lady was chatting with the Crown Princess, but they just had some disagreements, and the Crown Princess actually pushed my young lady into the water! Your Highness has always been fair, you must make the decision for my young lady!"

Xu Xingyin bowed according to the rules first, and then spoke slowly.

"I didn't do this, I don't admit it."

The casual word "I don't recognize it" made Jing Zhichen feel relieved for no reason. The balance in his heart had already tilted towards Xu Xingyin, even though she had never given him a decent reason.

However, such words could not convince others, such as Yang Mingxue's maid.

"No evidence! If she wasn't the Crown Princess, would my young lady have fallen into the water for no reason?"

"presumptuous!"

Xu Xingyin's beautiful eyes shone, "A mere servant, not being polite to the Crown Prince, and even slandering the Crown Princess, if it weren't for Madam Sha's face, how many lives do you think you can afford to lose?"

Seeing Xu Xingyin getting angry, the maid was really scared and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

After all, the little maidservant knew very well that she was just a servant of Yang Mingxue, and as long as Xu Xingyin was willing, there were many charges for her to be punished.

Although Xu Xingyin was angry, he knew what was important and helped Yang Mingxue up personally.

"Mrs. Sha should know very well that it was not me who pushed you."

Yang Mingxue used the force to stand up, but her eyes were always on Jing Zhichen beside her. She looked evasive when she heard the words, "It was too chaotic at the time, I... don't know either."

Xu Xingyin was not annoyed. He took advantage of the fact that the people behind Xiao Lu had not arrived yet to analyze the situation with everyone.

"Although there were some contradictions between what we said earlier, we were both doing it for the good of His Highness. The person who caused you to fall into the water wanted to use this incident to embarrass the East Palace."

Yang Mingxue was puzzled. "Even if I fell into the water, what does it have to do with the Eastern Palace?"

"As for your falling into the water today, as long as it is slightly embellished, it will be spread that the Crown Princess is domineering. She first openly refused the reward from the elders and was unfilial and unrighteous. Then she pushed others into the water because of false rumors, and was jealous and bullied others by taking advantage of her power."

Xu Xingyin paused, looked at Yang Mingxue and continued, "Of course, my reputation is not a big deal, but if my reputation is ruined, it will not benefit the Eastern Palace or the Crown Prince at all. Moreover, someone will definitely question afterwards whether I was instructed by the Crown Prince to openly oppose Fengming Palace. Then..."

A loud drum does not require a heavy hammer. I think everyone knows the rest of the truth.

Yang Mingxue knew that what Xu Xingyin said was true, but she felt somewhat unwilling to miss such a good opportunity and pursed her lips in grievance.

"Don't worry, Princess. I won't do anything that would hurt Your Highness. Today, I fell into the water by accident."

Yang Mingxue deliberately avoided talking about being "pushed" and put on a big show, trying to play the role of a submissive, well-educated and well-mannered lady in front of Jing Zhichen.

By the way, Xu Xingyin can continue to take the blame.

Xu Xingyin just smiled without saying anything. He pretended to help Yang Mingxue and leaned close to speak in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I see that Madam Sha's foot seems to be sprained. How about asking an imperial physician to take a look?"

With that being said, how could Yang Mingxue not know what Xu Xingyin meant?

She smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, your Highness was acting bravely for justice. I am really sorry to bother you any further."

Since Yang Mingxue admitted that Xu Xingyin had not done anything, Xu Xingyin was too lazy to play along with her, "Mrs. Sha is frightened, she should really go back home and rest. Xiao Anzi, you go and see her off, I will also prepare a small gift later."

Xiao Anzi is Jing Zhichen's man. Xu Xingyin specially sent him to see him off in order to tell Yang Mingxue that they are "one as husband and wife" and to make her have fewer unnecessary thoughts.

After Xiao Anzi sent the people away, Jing Zhichen, who had been standing aside as a background for a while, came over.

"Little Lu Hou's trick?"

Xu Xingyin nodded, "Just now in there, Empress Xiao Lu deliberately used peanut cakes to stir up unhappiness between Yang Mingxue and me. After we came out, Yang Mingxue quarreled with me for a few words. Before we won the quarrel, Yang Mingxue suddenly fell into the water. I think Empress Xiao Lu was the one who did it."

"How can you be sure that it wasn't Yang Mingxue who was crying thief?"

Xu Xingyin was quite surprised that Jing Zhichen could say such words.

In his eyes, isn’t Yang Mingxue a pure and flawless talented woman?

How could it be associated with such a derogatory word?

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but look at Jing Zhichen again before explaining.

"After I had someone rescue Yang Mingxue, I found that her foot was injured. According to the direction she was standing at the time, this leg should not have been injured. Moreover, Yang Mingxue did not mention the injury at all, which must be a deliberate cover-up. I think something must have hit her leg at the time, so she suddenly fell into the water."

"In order to avenge the loss caused to the mute last time, Queen Lu has put a lot of effort into it."

"Yes, and Xiao Hou Lu had calculated it right from the beginning. Yang Mingxue and I have a bad relationship, and she would definitely give up on finding out the truth just to see me suffer. If it were someone else, he would have quarreled with Yang Mingxue a long time ago, and would not have cared about reasoning."

Jing Zhichen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips when he heard the little girl's slightly proud words.

"So, how does the wise Crown Princess plan to handle the follow-up matters?"

"The Queen has been planning for a long time, so we naturally cannot refuse her kindness. She wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, so I will let her understand what speed is the essence of war."

When Xu Xingyin smiled, Jing Zhichen knew that she had no good intentions. Before he could say anything, the girl grabbed his arm and rushed straight to the imperial study. Jing Zhichen was stunned for a moment, and then he could not help but be led by Xu Xingyin.

The questioning words were stuck in her throat. Well, as long as she was happy, Louzi could do whatever he wanted. He would just take the consequences anyway.

Following the little girl to clean up the mess, in just that moment, Jing Zhichen thought that life might be pretty good if he could live like this.
