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

"Your Highness is inside, why are you avoiding me?"

Xu Xingyin asked instead of answering. Jing Zhichen thought the little girl was being stubborn, so he smiled and explained in a rare good-tempered manner.

"I just had something to discuss with Du Huaigu, so I plan to go there later."

"Oh? Why did Mr. Huaigu say he was here to take my pulse?"

"I came to ask for your pulse, and I talked about some court affairs."

Xu Xingyin did not buy Jing Zhichen's good-tempered explanation. He calmly glanced at the letter on the desk and then asked suddenly.

"Allow them to divorce? When did Your Highness have the taste to interfere in the relationship between other couples?"

Jing Zhichen then glanced at the letter on the table, and a hint of embarrassment finally appeared on his face.

"Shafu... Yang Mingxue and her husband don't get along, so Yang Liqing came to me. Over the years, Yang Liqing has made some contributions, but he has also worked hard. Since he asked for this for my daughter, I can't refuse."

After Jing Zhichen explained, he changed the subject somewhat awkwardly.

"By the way, Xiao Anzi told me that you have something to say to me?"

When Xu Xingyin heard this, he finally moved his eyes away from the letter, with some indescribable emotions.

After a pause, he finally spoke.

"Yes, I have a favor to ask of you."

Xu Xingyin's tone was indifferent yet stubborn, which inexplicably made Jing Zhichen feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness once told me that our marriage was just... mutually beneficial. Now that the case of the Zhennan General's Mansion has been closed, marrying into the Xu Guogong Mansion will not bring any benefits to Your Highness. On the contrary, others will point fingers at Your Highness and question whether Your Highness has bad intentions in overturning the case for the Zhennan General's Mansion. I think... now is the time for us to divorce."

The overly calm words and clear analysis made Jing Zhichen's expression stiffen in an instant.

He stared at Xu Xingyin with wide eyes, trying to find a hint of a joke in her expression.

But the determination and seriousness in Xu Xingyin's eyes made him extremely disappointed.

"Why? In that case, should I be grateful to the Crown Princess for taking such pains to consider my interests?"

Xu Xingyin frowned and responded indifferently.

"Divorce is the best choice for both His Highness Yu and me."

"Xu Xingyin, do you know what you are talking about?"

Xu Xingyin met Jing Zhichen's gaze. There was unprecedented clarity and determination in her eyes, as if she had made a great decision.

"I know what I'm talking about."

Jing Zhichen only felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, and his face instantly turned gloomy, like the depression before a storm.

"Xu Xingyin, do you think a royal marriage is a joke? Can you just divorce me?"

Xu Xingyin lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes.

"Isn't our marriage just a joke?"

Anger and frustration surged into his heart, Jing Zhichen couldn't help but clench his fists, and the loss in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

"So... this is how you view our relationship."

Xu Xingyin sneered and responded sarcastically.

"Isn't that right? Then Your Highness, please tell me, how should I view this? Our marriage started out of interest, and now that the result of continuing will be loss of interest, why does Your Highness still insist?"

Xu Xingyin's tone was extremely gentle when he said this, but it was like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into Jing Zhichen's heart.

Yes, Jing Zhichen admitted that although their initial motives were not pure, at least in his heart, their feelings had surpassed those interests.

But now, it seems that he is the only one who is so deeply trapped...

The Crown Prince, who had always been aloof, lowered his head in front of others for the first time. He strode up to Xu Xingyin and held her wrist tightly.

The voice was low and hoarse, and seemed to have a barely perceptible tremor.

"Xu Xingyin, I don't believe that you have never seen my feelings these days."

At this point, Xu Xingyin's emotions were a little out of control.

"Your Highness's feelings? Haha, Your Highness has the common people, the country, the stability of the imperial power, and Yang Mingxue in his heart... How could he have ever had me, Xu Xingyin!"

The sudden sound of the name was like a pause, which stunned the two people who were originally excited.

"If Your Highness feels that a divorce right now would damage your reputation, you can write a letter of divorce. Once Your Highness has written it, send it to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

Xu Xingyin was the first to react. He pushed Jing Zhichen away and walked out after saying these words.

Jing Zhichen, who staggered due to the force, finally came back to his senses from the brief shock and reacted belatedly.

Xu Xingyin, this is...

Jealous?

While Jing Zhichen was thinking, Xu Xingyin had already walked a long way outside.

Watching Xu Xingyin's figure gradually walking away, Jing Zhichen felt an unprecedented panic in his heart.

He turned suddenly and strode forward.

Jing Zhichen suddenly hugged Xu Xingyin's waist from behind, and then, with a tough attitude, he carried Xu Xingyin back to the study.

Xu Xingyin was made dizzy by Jing Zhichen's series of actions and was unable to break free for a while.

By the time she came to her senses, Jing Zhichen had already grabbed her waist and pressed her down on the couch in the study.

Xu Xingyin struggled to get up, but was restrained by Jing Zhichen's arms and could not move. He could only look up and glare at the man who was pressing on him.

The distance between the two of them was so close that they could almost breathe together. Xu Xingyin could clearly see her reflection in Jing Zhichen's eyes, as well as the shadow on his cheek...

That suspicious blush.

Xu Xingyin frowned and angrily called out the man's full name.

"Jing Zhichen, what are you doing!"

Jing Zhichen did not answer her, but stared at her for a long time with a sharp gaze. Only after he was sure that there was indeed anger and resentment in her eyes did he slowly open his mouth.

"Xu Jiaojiao, are you jealous?"

His voice was low and magnetic, like a warm current, slowly flowing through Xu Xingyin's heart, yet with a hint of teasing.

Xu Xingyin didn't expect him to ask this. After a slight pause, he subconsciously refuted.

"Who, who is jealous! Stop being so self-indulgent!"

Jing Zhichen didn't seem to intend to let her go. He lowered his head and moved closer, until he was almost asking her questions right next to her nose.

"Really, Xu Xingyin? Dare you say to yourself, 'No?'"

Xu Xingyin gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "No means no."

"Well."

The other party's seemingly compromising words finally made Xu Xingyin breathe a sigh of relief.

Just when I thought the matter was over, Jing Zhichen suddenly came up to me and bit Xu Xingyin on the shoulder.

There was no bleeding, but the force was not light. The sharp pain was more like a warning, making Xu Xingyin instinctively feel the danger coming.
