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

Xu Xingyin understood the sarcasm in Zou Lizhen's words, but now even she felt ridiculous.

She spent three years searching for the truth, and finally...

But the investigation was traced back to his own father.

There is probably no one more ridiculous than her in this world.

"Where are those letters?" Xu Xingyin asked.

"A place where no one will know about it and it's safe."

Zou Lizhen's vague answer made Xu Xingyin feel a little puzzled, so he just asked directly.

"Give me the evidence. What are your conditions?"

"I've said it before, I just hope the Crown Princess can handle this impartially."

Xu Xingyin assured, "I will definitely handle this impartially, no matter who it is, I will never show favoritism."

"Okay." Zou Lizhen nodded and said softly, lowering her head. "I hid those letters in the boudoir of Liu's mansion, my former...boudoir..."

At this point, Zou Lizhen probably felt that she herself was a little funny, and could not help but shake her head, smile bitterly, and shed tears.

"Look at me, I am also very pathetic. I hate my father for being ruthless and I hate the Liu Mansion to the core, but in the end, the Liu Mansion is still the safest place for me in my life."

Seeing Zou Lizhen like this, Xu Xingyin also sighed.

Zou Lizhen once went astray because she held a grudge against her father for sending her to Funing Temple.

Little did she know that after embarking on this path, the place she once hated became her only safe haven.

Xu Xingyin didn't dare to ask her if she regretted it, or even think about it, because to some extent, they made the same choice -

Being enemies with your family is for no particular purpose.

Xu Xingyin took a deep breath, suppressed those inappropriate emotions, and asked again.

"Where is the boudoir?"

Zou Lizhen looked around cautiously, and Xu Xingyin understood and dismissed his attendants, including Jiuxuan, his personal servant, before speaking again.

"Now there's no one else around, you can rest assured."

Zou Lizhen lowered her voice and said, "There is a secret compartment under the bed. I hid the things there. Crown Princess, go get them yourself."

"Thank you."

After meeting Zou Lizhen, Xu Xingyin felt a little heavy.

After a long pause, he stood up and told Aoying, "Let's go to Liu's house."

Ao Ying didn't ask any more questions. He quickly mobilized people to accompany him and arranged a carriage to secretly go to Liu's house.

Xu Xingyin sat in the car, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Although Zou Lizhen did not say anything conclusive today, she could tell from the other party's statement that Xu Xiuzhu was definitely not just a supporting role in those cases.

It is truly unique for a daughter like me to personally investigate her father's crimes.

The carriage moved slowly on the street, but Xu Xingyin's mood became increasingly heavy.

Just as Xu Xingyin was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly, a burst of hurried horse hooves broke the silence in the car.

Then, a breathless voice spoke loudly.

"My Lady Crown Princess, something terrible has happened!"

Xu Xingyin frowned, lifted the curtain and asked, "What's the panic?"

The messenger fell to his knees and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The Duke's wife was kidnapped!"

"what!"

Xu Xingyin stood up from the carriage suddenly, his eyes wide open, and said anxiously.

"How could this happen out of the blue?!"

The messenger said, "Madam heard that the temple outside the city was very effective in praying for a child, so she thought of going there to pray for the Crown Princess, but she never expected that she was kidnapped by villains on her way back!"

Xu Xingyin was so worried that he felt dizzy and had to hold on to the door frame to keep his balance.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered, "Lead the way, everyone, search and rescue the Duke's wife with all your strength, and save her life first!"

"Yes!"

Following a uniform response, the carriage immediately changed direction and, led by the messenger, quickly drove out of the city.

Chen usually stays at home and rarely goes out, let alone makes enemies with others.

Now someone kidnapped Chen in broad daylight. I think the purpose of the person behind this is not to target Chen, but...

Myself, or the East Palace.

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Xingyin's heart was in a knot.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, Xu Xingyin must first ensure Chen's safety!

The carriage was bumping along the path outside the city, and Xu Xingyin's heart was beating fast.

Finally, in front of a remote forest, Xu Xingyin saw the abandoned carriage.

Xu Xingyin quickly jumped out of the carriage to check, but the carriage was empty and Chen was nowhere to be seen.

"Is this where your mother was kidnapped?"

The messenger nodded and continued.

"When I arrived, the lady had already disappeared."

Xu Xingyin took a deep breath, looked carefully inside the carriage again, and finally his eyes fell on the note abandoned in the corner.

She picked up the note and unfolded it, and saw only one line of words on it.

"In order to keep the Duke's wife alive, Xu Xingyin came alone to the abandoned temple in the east of the city to exchange people."

Although the handwriting is not beautiful, it is very neat. It can be seen that this matter must have been planned for a long time!

Xu Xingyin held the note tightly in his hand, his face as gloomy as water.

Aoying, who was standing by, also saw the note and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Crown Princess, this is extremely dangerous! You must not do this!"

How could Xu Xingyin not know the danger?

But since the matter involves Chen's safety, there is no way she can sit idly by!

Xu Xingyin took a deep breath and made a plan in mind.

"No, I must go."

Aoying tried to dissuade him, "But Crown Princess, it's too dangerous for you to go alone! What if the other side has an ambush..."

"Since he invited me, he must know my identity. Since he has plans for me, he will not harm my life."

After Xu Xingyin's analysis, he curled his lips slightly and then made arrangements.

"Aoying, take a few people with good kung fu skills and follow them at a distance, so as not to be discovered."

"But just in case..."

Ao Ying wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Xu Xingyin's firm voice.

"No need to discuss further. If there are any changes, I will send out smoke bombs from the East Palace, and you will come immediately."

Xu Xingyin's words were firm, and Aoying knew that there was no room for negotiation on the matter, so he could only agree in a deep voice and immediately ordered his men to start making arrangements.

No matter how tough Xu Xingyin appeared on the surface, he was actually still unsure in his heart.

Alone, following the instructions on the note, he rode his horse to the abandoned temple in the east of the city.

The dilapidated temple was hidden in a mining area in the east of the city. It was surrounded by bare land and could hardly hide anyone.

Xu Xingyin, holding an exquisite dagger in his arms, jumped off his horse and nervously pushed open the rotten door.

It was pitch black inside the temple, the doors and windows were nailed shut, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Xu Xingyin didn't go any further inside, but stood at the door and shouted.

"I have come here as promised, but you are hiding inside and dare not show your face, like a coward."
