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

What Aoying said was true, Jing Zhichen was also very clear about Chen's concerns.

He knew from a young age that as the crown prince, he had a heavy responsibility and could not take risks easily, could not be impulsive, could not...

He always manages to do those rules and regulations very well and perfectly.

However, at this moment, Jing Zhichen suddenly no longer wanted to be the perfect crown prince.

Because he, Jing Zhichen, is not only the crown prince of Dayan, but he is also Xu Xingyin's husband, a husband who has worshipped heaven and earth.

When Xu Xingyin was in danger, he should have gone to find her personally and ensure her safety.

Just like the promise he made to heaven and earth when he got married.

"The Crown Princess's safety is uncertain, and I cannot wait here peacefully. The Crown Princess often said that when it comes to matters of life and death, there is no distinction between high and low. I think what she said is very reasonable. This time, I have made up my mind, and you do not need to persuade me anymore."

As he spoke, Jing Zhichen had already tied the vines around his waist and slid down the cliff.

The wind on the cliff was as sharp as a knife, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill, but Jing Zhichen did not try to hide at all. He was only concerned about Xu Xingyin, whose life or death was uncertain under the cliff.

The cliff wall is slippery, making it difficult to perform even the most extraordinary martial arts.

Jing Zhichen could only rely on the vines in his hands and slide slowly and steadily towards the bottom of the cliff.

However, just as he was about to reach the bottom of the cliff, the vines suddenly made a crisp breaking sound!

Jing Zhichen was startled and tried to steady himself, but his body, without support, fell rapidly toward the bottom of the cliff like a kite with a broken string...

If he died here today, would she be sad?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jing Zhichen suddenly felt a tightening around his waist, and a vine appeared around his waist without him noticing.

The vine was weak and it wrapped around Jing Zhichen, but he didn't fall far before it broke again.

But this time he was already very close to the ground. Jing Zhichen held his breath and gathered his strength, then struck out with both palms in the air, using the recoil force to slow down his falling speed.

At the last moment before landing, Jing Zhichen finally stabilized his body and rolled to the ground in a panic. Although he suffered some minor injuries, his life was not in danger.

Jing Zhichen stood up with his body half bent, and immediately saw Xu Xingyin standing on a rock not far away holding a half-broken vine.

It turned out that Xu Xingyin had seen him falling from the cliff just now, and used vines as a cushion, thus saving Jing Zhichen's life.

At this moment, thousands of indescribable emotions surged up in his heart. Jing Zhichen didn't care about his embarrassment. He staggered over and hugged Xu Xingyin in his arms.

The force was so strong that it seemed to merge her into his body.

"Xu Jiaojiao, why are you always so worrying?"

It was clearly a rebuke, but even Jing Zhichen himself did not notice it. The relief in his heart far outweighed the blame.

Xu Xingyin was obviously frightened. After being scolded by Jing Zhichen, a feeling of grievance suddenly surged up.

"Someone pushed me, I didn't do it on purpose..."

There were already some tears in his words.

Jing Zhichen sighed helplessly, without any temper left. He reached out and rubbed Xu Xingyin's head.

"But are you scared? I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so mean to you. I was... also anxious."

Xu Xingyin felt warm at heart at the overly gentle words, with tears sparkling in his eyes.

She snuggled into Jing Zhichen's arms and responded in a muffled voice.

"It's good to know."

Such an answer really made Jing Zhichen lose all his temper. He just hugged the person in his arms and asked again.

"Are you injured?"

Xu Xingyin shook his head honestly, still feeling a little scared when he spoke about it.

"When I fell just now, I happened to be entangled by some vines, but it's not a big deal."

"That's good." Jing Zhichen was thankful and asked, "Do you know who pushed you?"

Xu Xingyin shook his head. "I didn't see it, but I have a guess in my mind."

"Oh?"

Thinking of the important matter, Xu Xingyin quickly got out of Jing Zhichen's arms and whispered a name into his ear.

Jing Zhichen raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Are you so bold?"

Xu Xingyin nodded, but was a little puzzled.

"I can't figure out the reason, but I always feel that she has something to do with it."

Jing Zhichen nodded, "I understand. It's okay, I promise you, I will avenge you."

Xu Xingyin pursed her lips and gave a timely reminder.

"Rather than revenge, I want to know how we can get up there later."

Jing Zhichen was stunned, and then he looked at the half vine in Xu Xingyin's hand.

Xu Xingyin shrugged, "I found it with great difficulty, but it was broken just now when I tried to save His Highness."

Jing Zhichen: “…”

The two looked at each other in silence. After searching everywhere without success, it was already late.

After considering it for a moment, the two decided to find a nearby cave to stay in.

After all, the area below the cliff is not a place like the Imperial Garden where one can go for a night stroll.

In the mountains and forests where dangers are lurking everywhere, we better be more vigilant.

Now that he had some free time, Xu Xingyin started chatting with Jing Zhichen.

"Your Highness, have you ever felt that there is something wrong?"

"what?"

"Today we searched everywhere for a way out, and we walked around most of the cliff, but we didn't see any bodies or skeletons the whole time? There were nine people who fell off the cliff, so it's impossible that we didn't see even one, right?"

Jing Zhichen responded while fiddling with the charcoal fire.

"If there is nothing wrong in your heart, you will naturally not talk about ghosts and gods. Instead of wasting your time thinking about these things, Crown Princess should think about where these missing women are now."

"Does your Highness have any guesses?"

Jing Zhichen asked Xu Xingyin, "What are the similarities between these missing women?"

Xu Xingyin thought about it seriously, "They all made mistakes and were sent here by their families to practice asceticism. Logically speaking, they probably won't be able to leave this place in this lifetime."

"This is the real reason behind the theory of ghosts and gods."

Xu Xingyin understood immediately, "Your Highness, what you mean is that the reason why such stories are spread is because these women want to leave the temple? Change their appearance and start a new life?"

"But it's unlikely that they left the temple on their own. Although anyone can use the words of ghosts and gods to escape, if there is no connection or relationship between the people who escaped, it would be impossible to perfectly replicate every time. Then this scheme would have been exposed long ago."

When Xu Xingyin heard this, his brows furrowed into a small mountain.

"But judging from the current situation, there is no regular pattern between their disappearances, some are long and some are short. The one with a long time may be able to collude with the other, but what about the one who has been in the temple for a short time? How difficult is it to gain the trust of others in such a short time, and to be willing to tell her such important information and help her escape?"

Jing Zhichen threw some more firewood into the fire with an indifferent expression.

"So, we cannot rule out the possibility of a third person other than the Funing Temple."

Xu Xingyin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Your Highness, do you think that if there is a third person, is it related to the person Qian Ming mentioned?"
