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

"Miss Mei, do you still remember the third section of the Kong Hou Yin?"

Mei Hanrui was stunned, "What?"

Xu Xingyin didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and waved his hand.

"nothing."

After saying that, he led everyone and disappeared into the dungeon in a cool manner.

Ever since coming out of the dungeon, Xu Xingyin has been in a very good mood, humming a little tune all the way back to the East Palace.

When I walked in, I saw Jing Zhichen sitting on the Arhat couch with a tired look on his face. It was obvious that he had just returned.

Seeing this, Xu Xingyin stopped smiling and asked softly.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"It's okay." Jing Zhichen pinched his brows, "I'm just a little tired."

"Your Highness, you haven't even recovered yet, and you're busy with official duties all day. Even a strong body can't handle it!"

Xu Xingyin glared at Jing Zhichen unhappily, but couldn't bear it when she saw the fatigue on Jing Zhichen's face that he could hardly conceal.

She tiptoed behind Jing Zhichen, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently massaged his temple.

The movements were gentle and powerful, like a spring breeze blowing over tender buds, gradually relaxing Jing Zhichen's tired nerves.

The man followed suit and closed his eyes unconsciously.

Neither of them spoke. In the quiet night, there was only the sound of gentle massage and each other's breathing, intertwined with each other.

"Xu Jiaojiao."

Suddenly, Jing Zhichen called her.

"what?"

“Actually, it’s not bad to live like this for the rest of your life.”

This inexplicable sentence made Xu Xingyin unable to react, so he asked again.

"what?"

Jing Zhichen opened his eyes and looked at Xu Xingyin, then sat up straight with some disappointment and said.

"Nothing much. Did you gain anything from going to the dungeon today?"

Speaking of this, Xu Xingyin became excited and smiled.

"Speaking of which, I have something else I would like to ask for your help, Your Highness!"

"What's the matter?"

"I would like to ask Your Highness to send someone to bring Chun Xiang to the capital. I have something I want to verify."

"Chun Xiang?"

"She was one of the maids in Mei Hanrui's courtyard."

After confirming the other party's identity, Jing Zhichen didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said.

"it is good."

Xu Xingyin chuckled and quickly pinched Jing Zhichen's shoulders a few more times. Just when he was thinking about how to praise Jing Zhichen for being "helpful", he saw Jing Zhichen suddenly turn around and speak.

"As a reward, I'll have to trouble the Crown Princess to give me more massages these days."

Xu Xingyin: “…”

Okay, now that things have come to this, Xu Xingyin couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and agree.

Therefore, in the next few days, even if there was a storm outside, even if he came back very late, Jing Zhichen would come to Xu Xingyin's place and sit for more than an hour almost every day.

Therefore, the entire palace knew that the newly married couple in the Eastern Palace were inseparable and stuck together every day.

When rumors were spreading outside, Chun Xiang finally entered the capital under the protection of the Black Tiger Cavalry.

Chun Xiang has always been timid, so Xu Xingyin chose to meet her in the East Palace.

The palace maids were dismissed and no guards were left. They were left with a side room, a pot of tea, a few plates of snacks, and the two of them.

With no outsiders present, Chun Xiang felt much more relaxed. He stumbled as he saluted Xu Xingyin and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"The nanny in front taught me, but I... I am stupid and didn't learn it well."

Xu Xingyin smiled cheerfully, "We have slept in the same bed before, so why should we be so polite? If you don't mind, you can call me Xiao Cui again."

Chun Xiang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no!"

Xu Xingyin didn't force it. He chatted with Chunxiang with a smile for a few more words. He waited until Chunxiang was completely relaxed before he started talking about business.

"I remember you said before that you have been serving in Mei Hanrui's courtyard since you entered the other courtyard?"

Chun Xiang nodded, "Yes, but I'm clumsy and have always been serving outside."

"Did you know that Mei Hanrui has a sister?" Xu Xingyin thought about it and added, "Her name is Mei Hanxuan."

"I know. Miss Hanxuan is a famous talented woman in the other courtyard. I heard that even the chief judge in our county at that time could not compare with her."

"Talented women? Then it seems that both of these sisters are quite talented?"

"After all, they were two girls carefully cultivated by the master, so they are naturally excellent."

"Have they been trained together since childhood?"

Chun Xiang said, "Yes, they entered the other courtyard together. The master saw that they were good-looking, so he hired a female teacher to teach them. After more than a year of study, he observed their talents and then each of them chose to study what they were good at."

Xu Xingyin asked, "Mei Hanrui is good at playing the zither, and Mei Hanxuan is good at writing?"

Chun Xiang nodded, "Yes, I heard that Miss Hanxuan can't stand hardship, but she is smart. Playing the piano doesn't use up your hands after all, so she has always looked down on it. Although Miss Hanrui is not as smart as Miss Hanxuan, she can endure hardships. She often practices the piano until her fingers are worn out, but she still insists on practicing!"

"Mei Hanrui knew that the 'master' trained them just as chess pieces, why did she still do this?"

Chun Xiang sighed, "Even though Miss Hanrui had a bad temper later on, she has always been a good person. She once said that if she worked harder, she could escape from there earlier and protect her sister better."

Xu Xingyin nodded, probably having made a judgment in his mind.

After instructing people to take good care of Chun Xiang, he hurried back to the East Palace.

Jing Zhichen finally had a day off today, but he was not idle. His study received several groups of guests early in the morning.

When Xu Xingyin went to the study, Jing Zhichen had just sent the tutor away and seemed a little surprised to see her.

Xu Xingyin was running out of breath, his little face flushed.

"Isn't that disturbing your Highness's business?"

"Today is a day off. Do you have something to talk to me about?"

What you mean is that you are free?

Xu Xingyin bared his big white teeth, "I have some guesses about Mei Hanrui, but I'm still missing some details and can't quite figure it out, so I came here to ask for your advice."

"Now that you've figured it out, are you sure you can get Mei Hanrui to speak?"

Xu Xingyin nodded confidently, "Yes!"

"Then come in."

Jing Zhichen responded and went inside. With a slight raise of his hand, Cui Detao understood and withdrew, going to greet the ministers who were still waiting behind him.

As soon as Xu Xingyin entered the door, he went straight to the point.

"I suspect that the person in the prison is not Mei Hanrui, but Mei Hanxuan. The real Mei Hanrui is already dead."

Jing Zhichen sat down, "Why do you think so?"

"When I was in the other courtyard, I also heard a lot about the two beauties of the Mei family. Everyone said that although Mei Hanrui was the younger sister, she took good care of her elder sister Mei Hanxuan. Therefore, everyone praised her kindness. But I have never seen the word "sibling love" in the 'Mei Hanrui' I saw in prison."

"So you doubt her?" Jing Zhichen raised his eyebrows. "Maybe she is just pretending in front of others?"

"It may be easy for a person to pretend for one or two days, but if he pretends for one or two years, I am afraid that even he will believe it. If this is the case, there will be no change in a short period of time."
