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

Old Madam Chen has always been a person of swift and decisive character. She wrote the petition letter in one go.

In less than half a cup of tea, it was handed to Xu Xingyin.

Xu Xingyin took the letter, and although he knew that this matter was inevitable, he still looked somewhat reluctant.

Old Madam Chen found her funny and tapped her forehead lovingly, saying with a smile.

"Why are you acting like this? You are smart outside, but when it comes to something you care about, you start to get confused. As the old saying goes, things change over time. Life is full of twists and turns, so how can all the good things happen to one family? Even if this incident hadn't happened, it would have been time for our Zhennan General's Mansion to go downhill."

How could Xu Xingyin not know what Old Madam Chen said?

When it comes to leading troops in battle, only my grandfather and uncle have this talent in the general's mansion.

My second uncle has a gentle personality and has always loved reading. He might be able to be a military advisor, but if he really has to go into the battlefield to kill the enemy, I'm afraid he is absolutely unable to do it.

The remaining youngsters are either too young or lack talent. When you look closely, there is not a single suitable one.

In other words, even if Emperor Yan Ning was willing to return the military power to the General Zhennan's Mansion, no one in the General Zhennan's Mansion could take over now.

Under such circumstances, getting a rich and leisurely job and becoming a "weak family" that is well taken care of by Emperor Yan Ning may be more suitable for the current general's mansion.

After figuring this out, Xu Xingyin's mood brightened a lot and he responded with a smile.

"Got it. Thanks for the pointer, grandma."

"If you really appreciate grandma, then don't lie and answer her one question."

"what?"

Old Madam Chen smiled and suddenly lowered her voice and asked.

"Jiaojiao, do you like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Such a sudden question made Xu Xingyin stand there in a daze. His heart was beating like a drum and he looked a little at a loss.

Xu Xingyin never expected that Old Madam Chen would ask her this question so directly.

All the past events came to his mind, causing Xu Xingyin's heart to beat rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

When she was surrounded by enemies in the Duke's Mansion, it was Jing Zhichen who took the initiative to lend her a helping hand;

When her life was hanging by a thread while investigating the skinny horse case, it was Jing Zhichen who blocked the thief's sharp blade for her;

When she fell off the cliff and disappeared, it was Jing Zhichen who, despite everyone's advice, personally went down the cliff to look for her despite the danger...

They have been through so much together, her feelings for Jing Zhichen...

They had already unknowingly crossed the boundaries of alliance.

Even so, she knew that Jing Zhichen had always only treated her as an ally.

During Xu Xingyin's long silence, Old Madam Chen asked with a smile.

"Why, is this question difficult?"

Xu Xingyin pursed her lips and answered in a tone that seemed both true and false.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is my husband, so naturally I like him."

"Husband?"

The slightly questioning tone at the end made Xu Xingyin couldn't help but secretly look up at Old Madam Chen who was sitting opposite her. However, she saw that she always had a warm smile on her face, but there was a bit of sharpness in her eyes.

"If it is my husband, why haven't you consummated your marriage yet?"

An embarrassed blush instantly appeared on Xu Xingyin's face. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and couldn't help but blurt out surprised questions.

"How did grandma know about this?"

Old Madam Chen gave her a glare and said, "Isn't your chastity seal still there?"

"..."Xu Xingyin was speechless.

Since Old Madam Chen had said this, Xu Xingyin had no way to hide it any longer. He thought for a while before explaining in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Your Highness is very busy with official duties, and with so many coincidences, this is..."

Madam Chen immediately said angrily, "Alright! You should stop speaking for the prince. I originally thought that you didn't want to do this, but now seeing your attitude, I'm afraid you have a deep admiration for the prince in your heart! But Jiaojiao, your grandmother has to remind you that if a man truly loves you and has a name and a status with you, how can he bear this kind of thing!"

Hearing this, Xu Xingyin lowered his eyes, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

So... is this actually the case?

Looking at Xu Xingyin, who suddenly became as listless as a quail, Old Madam Chen felt a little helpless.

Old Madam Chen couldn't help but sigh again and spoke earnestly.

"Since you like it, you should take the initiative. A forced melon is not sweet? That's a perverse logic. Even if it's not sweet, at least it's yours, right? If you leave it there, it will be picked by the Wang family next door tomorrow. I wonder where you can go to cry then."

Xu Xingyin bit her lip and said shyly.

"Then... wouldn't that be too unrestrained?"

"Don't listen to those who say that women should be reserved, but in addition to being reserved, you also need to let people know your feelings. You are already husband and wife, so these things are not a big deal. Xu Jiaojiao, the children from our general's mansion have never been deserters."

Madam Chen’s words made Xu Xingyin fall into deep thought.

When he looked up again, there was a determined light in his eyes.

"Grandma, I get it! I'll try my best."

Old Madam Chen smiled, her eyes full of relief, and waved at Xu Xingyin.

"Now that you know, I won't keep you any longer. Deliver the letter as soon as possible and go back to have dinner with the prince."

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man disappeared.

"Monkey."

Old Madam Chen couldn't help but comment with a smile.

The little girl Xu Xingyin was raised by Old Madam Chen since she was a child.

She knew Xu Xingyin's character best.

Although this child looks careless, he is actually very tough at heart.

So she believed that as long as Xu Xingyin was willing, she would be able to grasp her own happiness.

……

Inside Longxiang Palace, Emperor Yanning waved his hand with a frown.

"Okay, I need to think about this matter again. My dear ministers, please take your leave first."

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and left, but Emperor Yanning suddenly added another sentence.

"The prince stays."

Jing Zhichen was not surprised by this. He nodded and said "yes" and said no more.

Emperor Yan Ning swept his eyes across the thick stack of memorials in front of him, and finally fell on Jing Zhichen.

"What do you think about this matter, Prince?"

Jing Zhichen took over the conversation readily, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think this matter is..."

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess said she has something important to report."

Before Jing Zhichen could finish his words, he was interrupted by the eunuch who came to deliver the message.

Xu Xingyin is here?

Although Emperor Yan Ning was a little surprised, he still nodded and said, "Let her in."

"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."

Xu Xingyin changed into her palace dress and bowed gracefully. Then she nodded and greeted Jing Zhichen, "Your Highness."

Emperor Yan Ning was enjoying the interaction between the young couple when he noticed Jing Zhichen looking over at him.

Emperor Yanning suddenly realized and quickly responded, "Ah, stand up."
