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

When Jing Zhichen heard this, he knew that Emperor Yan Ning was going to settle the score, so he bowed in response.

"I was extremely anxious at the time and only wanted to rescue the Crown Princess as soon as possible. I really didn't care about anything else."

Emperor Yanning frowned and spoke in a stern tone.

"As the crown prince, you shoulder the future of the Eastern Palace. You should be calm and steady. How can you act so impulsively? If anything happens to you, who will take over this country?"

Jing Zhichen lowered his head and replied submissively, "I know I was wrong."

Emperor Yan Ning was still not satisfied, so he turned his anger towards Xu Xingyin.

"And you, as the Crown Princess, you should strictly abide by the virtues of a woman. You are so dishonest all day and get involved in trouble. How can you be so dishonest? If it weren't for you, how could you have caused all this trouble?"

Xu Xingyin felt a little aggrieved when hearing this. In today's incident, she was the biggest victim, okay?

But even though I think so, the most important thing right now is to make Emperor Yan Ning calm down.

Xu Xingyin took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the grievance in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Jing Zhichen beside her stepped forward and stood in front of her.

"Father, today's incident was my fault, not the Crown Princess's. I am willing to take full responsibility, and please don't vent your anger on the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan Ning's expression became even darker, and he was obviously displeased with Jing Zhichen's defiance.

"Are you blaming me, Prince? You are so emotional, aren't you afraid that you will make mistakes in the future? As a member of the royal family, your every move is related to the stability and prosperity of the country. If you act so impulsively, how can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country in the future?"

Jing Zhichen replied in a cold voice, "I dare not, but I think that a monarch should have a cool head, but he should not be heartless. The Crown Princess is my wife, so I will naturally do my best to protect her. As for major matters, I know my limits and will never harm the country because of personal feelings."

"In front of the country, you are talking to me about propriety? Is your propriety to risk your life for her again and again?!"

"So, the country is the reason why father gave up my mother? Then I also want to know how many beautiful women are buried under father's country!"

Emperor Yanning had never expected that Jing Zhichen would suddenly mention Empress Mingzhen. His heart ached and his anger burned even more vigorously.

"You! You are really getting more and more outrageous! I must teach you a lesson today!"

As he said this, he raised his hand as if he was going to slap Jing Zhichen.

Xu Xingyin was shocked when he saw this, and he quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Jing Zhichen, and pleaded with Emperor Yanning.

"Father, please calm down. This is all my fault. Your Highness has nothing to do with it. If you want to punish me, then punish me!"

Xu Xingyin stepped forward and caused Emperor Yan Ning's hand to stop in mid-air.

Emperor Yan Ning's hand was suspended in the air, his eyes lingering on Xu Xingyin's determined face for a moment, and the anger in his heart seemed to be slightly dissipated by a breeze.

Once upon a time, he and Empress Myeong-jeong were also in love with each other...

The fingers suspended in the air were slowly retracted, but did not fall directly down.

"roll."

Although Emperor Yan Ning's tone was cold, he no longer had the anger he had just shown. He turned his back and didn't want to look at the young couple in the East Palace anymore.

Jing Zhichen was also very angry at the moment, he stiffened his neck and didn't speak or move.

"Yes, I will retire."

Xu Xingyin was so overwhelmed that he quickly grabbed Jing Zhichen's hand and forced him down to bow. He then hurriedly said a few polite words and quickly dragged Jing Zhichen away.

He walked briskly, as if he was afraid that Emperor Yan Ning would change his mind and chase him out to beat him.

Only after leaving Emperor Yan Ning's palace did the two of them slow down their pace.

Xu Xingyin still held Jing Zhichen's hand tightly. She didn't know if she was frightened by Emperor Yan Ning's actions just now, but her palms were full of sweat at this moment.

Feeling the wetness in his hands, Jing Zhichen calmed down a little.

"But did it scare you?"

Xu Xingyin shook his head and subconsciously held Jing Zhichen's hand tightly.

"No, but Your Highness... you really shouldn't have clashed with your father over this matter just now."

The expression on Jing Zhichen's face did not change at all, "But I don't regret it."

Xu Xingyin asked tentatively, "Is it because of the Queen Mother?"

Jing Zhichen paused and lowered his eyes slightly, as if recalling something. After a moment's silence, he spoke lightly.

"People with different ideals cannot work together."

After saying this, Jing Zhichen did not give Xu Xingyin a chance to ask more questions. He just said, "Go back, I'm a little tired," and quickly went to the East Palace.

Xu Xingyin understood that Jing Zhichen didn't want to talk about Queen Mingzhen anymore, and sighed slightly.

Then he quickly caught up with him and walked side by side with Jing Zhichen. No one mentioned what had just happened.

The two of them were silent along the way, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

After returning to the East Palace, Jing Zhichen went to the study alone to rest, saying he was "tired".

Xu Xingyin didn't feel comfortable chasing after him. Given Jing Zhichen's temper, if he didn't want to talk, no one could persuade him.

Well, if I pursue this matter too closely, I might end up making things worse.

But in Xu Xingyin's opinion, this matter was indeed a bit strange.

If Emperor Yanning was really so ruthless to Empress Mingzhen that Jing Zhichen had resented him for more than ten years, why would Emperor Yanning give in to Jing Zhichen many times?

Jing Zhichen has been honored as the crown prince since he was born. After Empress Mingzhen passed away, many people were eyeing the position of crown prince, but Concubine Lian alone could not protect the young Jing Zhichen.

and……

It was the last time at the bottom of the cliff, the pair of eyes of Emperor Yan Ning that were so red that they almost cried blood. Xu Xingyin would always remember them.

Therefore, Xu Xingyin still felt in his heart that Emperor Yanning was not heartless towards Empress Mingzhen, and he regarded his son Jing Zhichen as a treasure.

The death of Empress Mingzhen back then might have had...some other hidden story.

Xu Xingyin pursed her lips and put the matter aside for the time being.

This matter involves a wide range of people and it is also Chen Ke's old case. If we want to investigate it, we have to find a suitable time.

……

Since they parted on bad terms that day, the father and son, who had always had a somewhat cold relationship, were now in a complete cold war.

The person who was most happy about Jing Zhichen's fall from power was the third prince, Prince An.

Prince An's faction heard the news and took action. The original delicate balance in the court was gradually broken, and various forces competed secretly.

Various forces were fighting each other, it was really lively.

As for Jing Zhichen, apart from attending court and spending time in the government office, he spent most of his time in the Eastern Palace.

This made the ministers of the Eastern Palace very anxious. You know, since ancient times, has there ever been a son who could overcome his father?

If Emperor Yan Ning is really unhappy by then, it is not impossible to change the crown prince.

As assistant ministers, everyone has staked their entire fortune on the East Palace. Once Jing Zhichen loses power...

The consequences are simply unimaginable!
