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

The most difficult ones are the concubines of Emperor Yan Ning.

On one side was Emperor Yanning's younger sister, and on the other was Empress Lu. They couldn't afford to offend either of them, so they had to kneel down and try to smooth things over.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyin simply asked someone to make some tea. It was really hard for these nobles to kneel for such a long time in such hot weather.

Xiao Lu later claimed to be ill and didn't want to help, which Xu Xingyin could understand.

After all, those people outside were all coming for the Zhennan General's Mansion, and she was the Crown Princess in name only. Empress Lu was hoping that Tian Tian would get into trouble so as to sow discord between the Grand Princess and the Eastern Palace.

After the tea was brewed, Xu Xingyin had it distributed to all the concubines present, and she personally delivered the cup to the Grand Princess.

"aunt."

The strange name almost made the eldest princess unable to recover. Yes, after the marriage, according to seniority, Xu Xingyin should indeed call her aunt.

"Crown Princess." The eldest princess responded and took the tea. "Thank you for the tea, Crown Princess."

Xu Xingyin squatted beside the Grand Princess with a smile and explained the reason to her.

"Aunt, although the harem is led by Empress Xiao Lu, there are more than one master in the harem. Instead of wasting time here with Empress Xiao Lu, why don't you think of other ways?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but look up at Xu Xingyin. She didn't expect that Xu Xingyin was so thoughtful at such a young age.

On the surface, Xu Xingyin's words were to advise her not to bother with Empress Xiao Lu, but in fact he was telling her that Empress Xiao Lu was not the only one in the harem who could help her, the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Princess could also help her.

Of course, this is not only helping, but also pulling oneself into the East Palace camp.

"The Crown Princess also knows that the former Prince Consort is a criminal and the Princess's Mansion is also declining day by day. Who else can they invite?"

The Grand Princess's reply focused on the word "weak power".

Xu Xingyin didn't mind and extended an olive branch with a smile.

"Aunt, don't worry too much. Yongyi and I are close friends. Now that she is in need, I will not stand idly by."

After hearing this, the eldest princess's expression softened a little.

"In this case, I will rely on the Crown Princess."

"You're welcome, aunt."

After saying that, Xu Xingyin helped the Grand Princess to stand up and faced everyone with a smile.

"Since the Queen is not feeling well, I, as a junior, will make this decision on her behalf. Please return to the palace first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the concubines in the palace agreed one after another, bowed and left.

To put it bluntly, now that Xu Xingyin has stepped forward to take on this responsibility, everyone is naturally happy to see it happen. They went along with it and accepted Xu Xingyin's kindness, and even their smiles deepened when they left.

Xu Xingyin didn't think so much about it. He first ordered the secret guards to notify the Black Tiger Cavalry to look for someone, and then he slowly and leisurely took the phoenix sedan chair to the front court with the Grand Princess.

Jing Zhichen never keeps useless people around him, and all of his subordinates are very capable.

Look, before Xu Xingyin and his group arrived, the Black Tiger Cavalry had already found Tian Tian.

Tian Tian went straight to Emperor Yan Ning's imperial study and knelt outside for a long time.

After Emperor Yan Ning left the court, he was directly summoned to the imperial study, while Jing Zhichen and other court officials were left outside.

When Xu Xingyin hurried over, they were just finishing their conversation.

Emperor Yanning and Tian Tian left the imperial study together. The eunuch in charge, Eunuch Sun, was kneeling on the ground outside the imperial study with the imperial edict in his hand.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Tian Zitao has brought disaster to the country and his behavior is abominable. He and his entire family should be executed, including all nine generations of his clan.

However, the eldest princess and her only daughter, Princess Yongyi, had made great contributions in exposing the crime, so they were pardoned and allowed to separate.

A small punishment and a big warning, ordering the Grand Princess to stay in the palace for three years to practice self-cultivation and pray for the people, and abolishing the title of county princess of her daughter Tian, ​​and giving her the name Yongyi. "I decree this."

Once the imperial edict was issued, there was no room for maneuver.

Everyone stood up, and except for Jing Zhichen and a few important ministers who were summoned by Emperor Yanning to the imperial study to discuss matters, the rest of them dispersed.

Jing Zhichen said a few words to Xu Xingyin, the gist of which was that he was busy with official business and if she felt bored staying there, she could go back home first.

The implication was that Xu Xingyin should return home and keep an eye on the movements of those who caused trouble today.

Xu Xingyin nodded in agreement, and chatted with Jing Zhichen for a while, acting out the "newlyweds" scene before turning around and leaving.

Xu Xingyin caught up with the Grand Princess and Tian Tian in the corridor. It was noon at that time. The sunlight made the towering red walls of the imperial city more brilliant, and the mother and daughter, who were dressed in plain clothes, looked even more desolate.

It was rare for Tian Tian to wear proper women's clothing. She stood there politely, as if her pride had been taken away, and she saluted Xu Xingyin politely.

"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess. Long live the Crown Princess."

"You and I shouldn't be so distant from each other." Xu Xingyin replied with a frown.

Tian Tian shook her head, "Tian Zitao owes the Zhennan General's Mansion, and I can only repay you in this way. I know it's not your fault, but I really can't do anything... It's the same as before. Isn't that what life is like? Mistakes always lead to regrets."

"Yong Yi..."

"Jiaojiao, don't be sad."

Tian Tian smiled brightly. The sun was quite strong and her eyes were a little red.

"Anyway, I'm glad to have made the acquaintance of you. You are the first friend I made in the capital, and perhaps... the last one."

"what's your plan?"

"Without the constraints of the county lord's identity, isn't it a kind of liberation for me? I want to go out for a walk and see what the world of Dayan is like."

"it is good."

Xu Xingyin's eyes also turned red, but he smiled sincerely at Tian Tian.

"In this case, I wish Yongyi a smooth journey and regain a confidant."

"Thank you, Princess."

Tian Tian smiled, performed a final salute, turned around and helped the Grand Princess leave.

Xu Xingyin maintained his original posture, watching the mother and daughter gradually disappear at the end of the corridor, and inevitably felt a little sad.

Perhaps, the search for truth lies in the darkness of devastation.

The process of searching for light is long, tiring and painful.

But only in this way can the innocent souls buried deep in the mud regain their sight.

The truth is not a choice, it is the right way in the world.

Xu Xingyin did not regret it, even though it was a little painful.

……

Xu Xingyin, who was worried about the troublemaker, suppressed his sadness and went home.

After waiting for a while, they heard the Black Tiger Riders reporting.

The person was found.

The group of people who led the riot in the morning was led by a scholar who called himself "Luo Xuehai".

He said that he had received favors from General Zhennan and was angry when he saw that the general's mansion had suffered an injustice, so he wrote the petition to express his grievances.

Luo Xuehai is a thoughtful person, and his answers are fluent, and everyone would agree with him.

They acted like the army of justice, as if they were the bad guys.

According to the rules of the Eastern Palace, torture is not allowed without evidence of guilt.

Therefore, the Black Tiger Cavalry was very troubled and had to report the truth to Xu Xingyin.
