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

Xu Xingyin turned his head and blinked his eyes in anticipation of Jing Zhichen's next words, but before Jing Zhichen could finish his explanation, the door of the main hall was hurriedly pushed open by a palace servant.

"Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess, something bad has happened! Concubine Yun... Concubine Yun has been poisoned. The Queen has ordered the scene to be sealed off and the murderer must be found."

Jing Zhichen, whose conversation was interrupted, looked extremely unhappy. He glanced at the palace maid coldly and sneered.

"Your Majesty, the Fengming Palace is still full of wonderful performances as always."

The palace maid quickly lowered her head and stopped talking respectfully.

Instead, Xu Xingyin sighed helplessly, took Jing Zhichen's hand and said softly.

"Since the Queen has invited us, there is no reason for us not to go. Otherwise, wouldn't that give her the opportunity to cause trouble?"

After listening to Xu Xingyin's gentle persuasion, Jing Zhichen's expression looked better and he gently held her hand.

"My beloved concubine is absolutely right."

The two of them walked out of the side hall hand in hand, only to see that the outside of the hall was already full of palace servants who had come to watch, with discussions rising and falling.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess are here!"

A palace servant sang loudly, and his voice penetrated the crowd, and everyone fell silent and saluted.

"No gift."

Jing Zhichen spoke lightly, his tone revealing a majesty that could not be ignored.

He held Xu Xingyin's hand and walked calmly towards the main hall of Fengming Palace.

Inside the main hall, Empress Lu sat on the phoenix chair with a livid face. All the concubines and ladies in the room lowered their heads, trembling with fear.

Concubine Yun was lying on the bed with foam coming out of her mouth. Several imperial doctors were busy treating her, and they reported with pale faces and shaking heads.

"Your Highness, the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess, the poison that Concubine Yun was poisoned with is extremely strange. I am at a loss as to what to do. I am afraid that Concubine Yun is not going to make it!"

"waste!"

After the imperial physician finished speaking, Empress Lu's expression instantly became even uglier. She tightly grasped the armrests and cursed angrily.

"Investigate! I want to see who dares to do such a vicious thing in the palace!"

Xu Xingyin and Jing Zhichen looked at each other and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty Yunfei!"

At the same time, a mournful scream was heard, and Concubine Yun's personal maid, Bitao, threw herself down beside the bed, crying at the top of her lungs.

At this time, Concubine Yun had already passed away.

Bitao's crying made the atmosphere in the entire palace even more depressing. Everyone looked solemn, and Empress Lu's face was even more gloomy.

Halfway through her crying, Bitao seemed to remember something. She raised her head with red and swollen eyes, struggled to her knees and crawled to the phoenix chair behind Xiao Lu, tightly grasped the hem of Xiao Lu's skirt, and said sadly.

"Empress! Concubine Yun died unjustly! She must have been murdered! Please find out the truth and avenge Concubine Yun!"

Xiao Lu relaxed his expression and said seriously.

"In the past, Concubine Yun and I were like sisters. Don't worry, Bi Tao. I will investigate this matter and give Concubine Yun justice."

"Thank you, Queen."

Bitao kowtowed several times, then looked up with eyes full of grief and anger, pointing at Yang Mingxue who was standing in the corner.

"Her Majesty Yun's food, clothing, housing and transportation are all handled by this servant. What Her Majesty ate and used today was no different from the past, except that the cup of tea was consumed without inspection. If there is any suspicion, it is Yang Mingxue who is the biggest one!"

No one expected that Bitao would suddenly jump out and identify Yang Mingxue. Everyone was stunned and then started whispering.

Yang Mingxue was startled by Bitao's sudden accusation and immediately refuted it excitedly.

"Bi Tao, how can you slander me like that! How could my tea be poisonous? Before I served her tea, didn't Concubine Yun eat the cakes sent by Concubine Yan? Why do you put the blame on me now that something went wrong?"

Bi Tao sneered, "Everyone has eaten the cakes sent by Concubine Yan, but your cup of tea was sent by you personally, so it is different from others!"

"I have no grudge against Concubine Yun, so how could I harm her?"

"The person you want to harm is naturally not our Concubine Yun, but the Crown Princess!"

Bi Tao's eyes widened in anger, and she pointed at Concubine Yun's body and spoke sternly.

"You poisoned the tea in order to harm the Crown Princess. However, you didn't expect that the Crown Princess was not suitable to drink tea, so the Queen gave the poisoned tea to Concubine Yun. That's why Concubine Yun became the Crown Princess's scapegoat in such an unclear way!"

As soon as Bitao finished speaking, everyone in the hall's eyes unconsciously fell on Xu Xingyin.

Indeed, everyone knows Yang Mingxue's feelings for Jing Zhichen.

From a certain perspective, Crown Princess Xu Xingyin is Yang Mingxue's love rival.

It was no secret in the capital that Yang Mingxue's married life was not satisfactory.

In comparison with the inseparable Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin...

Due to the huge difference, Yang Mingxue was jealous and resentful and wanted to kill Xu Xingyin. His motive was reasonable.

Thinking of this, not to mention others, even Jing Zhichen, who had been silent all the time, frowned deeply, and his eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions.

Yang Mingxue was speechless. She suddenly looked up at Jing Zhichen, her clear eyes filled with tears.

Without waiting for Jing Zhichen to speak, she rushed over with tears in her eyes and grabbed the hem of Jing Zhichen's robe tightly.

"Your Highness, I am innocent. I really did not poison the tea!"

Seeing this, Xu Xingyin, standing nearby, raised his eyebrows slightly.

However, Jing Zhichen avoided Yang Mingxue's actions as if facing a formidable enemy, fearing that Xu Xingyin would misunderstand something again.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Zhichen looked normal and acted as if he was doing his job in a businesslike manner.

"Mrs. Sha, this matter is of great importance. We will not just listen to one side of the story. If you are innocent, we will give you justice after we find out the truth."

Jing Zhichen's evasive action made Yang Mingxue miss. She stood there in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes.

She knew that Jing Zhichen had made his choice between Xu Xingyin and her.

Thinking of this, Yang Mingxue suddenly laughed, and that laughter was full of endless ridicule and sadness.

"Fairness? Hahaha! What I want is never justice! Jing Zhichen, I have loved you for ten whole years, but now I know that you... never loved me. It turns out that you are so protective of the one you love."

No one expected that Yang Mingxue, the wife of a minister, would openly express her forbidden love for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in such an occasion.

He even dared to criticize His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for protecting the Crown Princess. How bold!

However, Yang Mingxue seemed to have nothing to worry about. Her tears had dried up, and only determination and sadness remained in her eyes.

"Well, since no one believes me, I will die to prove my will!"

After Yang Mingxue finished speaking, she actually turned around suddenly and ran towards the pillar in the hall!
