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

The question was asked with a hint of tears in it, and Jing Zhichen frowned slightly.

The words of rebuttal were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them.

What Xu Xingyin said just now was half right.

Jing Zhichen did know that Mei Hanxuan might have some relationship with the Lu family, because when Xu Xingyin returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, he was inexplicably poisoned, and he had been secretly investigating the matter.

Later, the investigation led all the way to Mei Hanxuan, and found that Mei Hanxuan had always been involved with people from the Lu family.

So, Xu Xingyin guessed right about this point.

He did deliberately guide Xu Xingyin to investigate the Lu family.

Because he knew very well that the Lu family's influence in Jiangnan should not be underestimated. If he started to investigate the matter, he was afraid that it would alert other forces.

Furthermore, given Xu Xingyin's fondness for the Lu family, I'm afraid that even if I tell her the answer, she will still be a little skeptical.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to let Xu Xingyin check it himself. Seeing it with one's own eyes is always correct.

Apart from those legitimate reasons, there is also...

He didn't like Lu Xu, and he disliked Xu Xingyin even more when he was with Lu Xu.

Since the people of the Lu family have ill intentions towards Xu Xingyin, and let Xu Xingyin expose it all himself, then the relationship between them will probably be difficult to return to the way it was before.

But he really didn't know about the Lu family's involvement in the unjust case at the Zhennan General's Mansion.

But Xu Xingyin's question was like a heavy rock, hitting his heart with a bang, instantly plunging his mood into the abyss.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if carrying thousands of words in silence. Jing Zhichen looked at Xu Xingyin steadily for a long time.

Xu Xingyin did not give in either and stared back.

Jing Zhichen laughed mockingly and finally spoke.

"Xu Jiaojiao, I didn't know that the case of Zhennan General's Mansion was related to the Lu family, but I told you those things because I wanted to guide you to investigate the Lu family."

Xu Xingyin always stood at the junction of light and darkness and chuckled.

He was not angry, nor did he ask any further questions. He just responded softly.

"Your Highness, what a good plan."

No matter how gentle the words are, they are like a cold wind blowing across the lake of your heart, causing waves to suddenly rise.

Jing Zhichen frowned and was about to explain a little more when he saw Xu Xingyin's body shake and fall down limply.

"Bright!"

Xu Xingyin's sudden fall made Jing Zhichen's heart rise to his throat.

He hurriedly stepped forward and steadily caught the staggering Xu Xingyin.

When I touched her with my fingertips, I was surprised to find that Xu Xingyin's body temperature was frighteningly high. Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and her face was as pale as snow.

At this moment, the whole person had fainted, mumbling something unconsciously.

There was a flash of panic in Jing Zhichen's eyes. He hugged Xu Xingyin tightly in his arms, not caring about his dignity anymore, and said loudly.

"Aoying! Go and invite Mr. Huaigu."

While speaking, he tiptoed and flew towards the East Palace carrying the unconscious Xu Xingyin.

Jing Zhichen's figure quickly passed by in the night. After arriving at the East Mansion, he directly broke open the door and carefully placed Xu Xingyin on the bed.

At this time, Du Huaigu was already waiting in the room.

Jing Zhichen knew Du Huaigu's rules. He was not used to having other people around during his consultations, so he led the others out of the room.

Looking at Jing Zhichen standing at the door like a wooden stake, Aoying, who usually had no tact, said a rare word of comfort.

"The Crown Princess will be fine, Your Highness, please relax."

Aoying's comforting voice brought Jing Zhichen back to his senses. After pondering for a moment, he whispered an order.

"Go and bring over the people who served in the dungeon today."

Aoying nodded, "Yes."

The dungeon was not far from the East Palace, and the bailiff who was responsible for leading Xu Xingyin in the dungeon today soon arrived in front of Jing Zhichen.

The yamen runner had never met a man of Jing Zhichen's status alone. His legs went weak and he almost fell in front of Jing Zhichen. He was just wondering how to greet him when he heard Jing Zhichen speak coldly.

"What did Mei Hanxuan talk about with the Crown Princess today? Tell me everything."

The bailiff kowtowed quickly and repeated everything the two had said today without any deception.

However, he did not notice that the more Jing Zhichen listened to his words, the darker his face became.

Even Ao Ying broke out in a cold sweat for the yamen runner. Fortunately, Jing Zhichen did not make things difficult for the yamen runner after hearing what happened. He just gave him a cold warning.

"You'd better keep everything I said today to yourself. I don't want a fourth person to know about it."

The bailiff said yes repeatedly and retreated in a hurry.

At the same time, Du Huaigu, carrying a medicine box, just walked out of the house.

Jing Zhichen's eyes flashed, and after a moment he could no longer find anything wrong.

"How is the Crown Princess?"

Du Huaigu replied, "The weather has been hot and cold recently, and the Crown Princess has been very worried. Her body couldn't stand it and she caught a cold. She will be fine after resting. But I'm afraid it will take a day or two to get rid of the depression. A heart disease needs a heart medicine to cure it."

As Du Huaigu said this, Jing Zhichen's expression remained calm. He just said "hmm" lightly, thought about it and said again.

"Give the prescription to Xiao Anzi after it's ready. Have Xiao Anzi come over to serve you in the next few days."

Du Huaigu nodded, raised his leg and walked out. After taking two steps, he paused, turned his head and said something to Jing Zhichen.

"There is no one inside. Your Highness, please go in if you want."

"I just..."

Du Huaigu slipped away after he finished speaking, so Jing Zhichen didn't even have time to finish the second half of the sentence that was stuck in his throat before he disappeared.

Ao Ying was about to speak when he was pulled away by Cui Detao, who had been silent for a long time.

After leaving the Moon Cave Gate, Aoying said anxiously.

"I haven't explained the matter of the dungeon to His Highness yet."

Cui Detao lowered his voice and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you see that His Highness is not paying attention to us right now? Why are you going to cause trouble?"

Aoying frowned, and slowly came to his senses, "Wasn't he fine just now?"

Cui Detao sighed, "Just now, what husband wouldn't care about what Mei Hanxuan said?"

Aoying complained, "The legal husband? Could it be that the Crown Princess has a mistress outside..."

Cui Detao glared at Aoying fiercely and cursed, "A rotten tree cannot be carved!"

While the two were talking, Jing Zhichen inside finally made some movement.

After lingering at the door for a while, Jing Zhichen hesitated for a moment and finally pushed the door open.

The bedroom was quiet. Jing Zhichen walked into the inner room and saw Xu Xingyin lying quietly on the bed like a withered flower, without a sound or a movement.

Obviously, Xu Xingyin hasn't woken up yet.

Jing Zhichen tiptoed to the bedside, looked down at her pale face, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

His hand unconsciously stroked Xu Xingyin's hair.

"Is it because of Lu Xu? Is he... so important to you, Xu Jiaojiao?"

The low voice echoed in the silent bedroom, and Jing Zhichen's eyes were complex and deep.

The slender fingers unconsciously held Xu Xingyin's hand tightly, and even the knuckles turned white from the force.

At this moment, Xu Xingyin, who was in a coma, seemed to sense something and snorted softly.
