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

Xu Xingyin opened his eyes wide in horror, but found that he couldn't even make a sound. In an instant, he was pulled into a hidden crevice by the man.

She struggled desperately, but the force was like an iron clamp, holding her tightly.

In a moment of desperation, Xu Xingyin bit the hand that was covering her. The man retracted his hand in pain and finally let go of the hand that was holding Xu Xingyin.

Xu Xingyin gasped for breath and after adapting to the darkness around him, he was able to see the man's face clearly in the faint moonlight.

The man was tall and wore a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

Although the other person was covered very tightly, Xu Xingyin still recognized him at a glance.

"Ah...Ayang?"

Hearing the long-lost "Ayang", Lu Xu stood quietly in front of Xu Xingyin, with complex light flashing in his eyes.

She was still the same as she remembered, and could always see him in the crowd at a glance, no matter what he looked like.

This realization almost made Lu Xu forget that he was no longer the A Yang in her memory.

Fortunately, the mask on his face still had a hint of coldness, reminding him all the time.

Ever since his father pointed his butcher knife at the Zhennan General's Mansion, he had already lost the chance to hug the person in front of him again.

Thinking of this, Lu Xu suppressed the myriad emotions in his heart and nodded slightly.

"Princess."

The cold and distant address instantly widened the distance between the two of them. Xu Xingyin's eyes dimmed and he slowly came back to his senses.

Things between them are no longer the same as before.

Awkward, there was only silence between the two.

At this moment, a hand that had been hiding in the dark gently patted Xu Xingyin's shoulder.

Xu Xingyin was stunned and saw a familiar face again.

"Yongyi?" Xu Xingyin asked in surprise.

Tian Tian held a long sword in her hand, dressed like a female knight traveling the world with a sword, and smiled brightly at Xu Xingyin.

"Long time no see, Jiaojiao."

Xu Xingyin was very happy to meet his old friend, but rather than being happy, he was more confused.

"Why are you here together?" Xu Xingyin asked.

Ever since Tian Zitao's evil deeds were exposed, Tian Tian gave up her title of county lord, traveled far away with a sword in hand, and decided to venture into the world.

From then on, Xu Xingyin never saw her in the capital again.

As for Lu Xu, his father was beheaded by Emperor Yan Ning. Logically, Lu Xu should still be in exile and there is no way he would appear in the capital.

Two people who shouldn't have been here, appeared together at such a sensitive time. No matter how Xu Xingyin thought about it, he felt that this was definitely not a coincidence.

In the darkness, Lu Xu and Tian Tian looked at each other and their faces darkened.

In the end, it was Lu Xu who spoke first.

"A few days ago, when I followed the soldiers to the border of Qinzhou, I learned that my father had arranged everything for me before he died, and left me things in Qinzhou that could save my life. With those things, even if I go to the place of exile, I can live a stable life."

Xu Xingyin raised his eyebrows and instantly grasped the key to Lu Xu's words.

"In that case, why don't you leave?"

Lu Xu said simply, "Because I have a guilty conscience."

Xu Xingyin asked sharply, "Whose evidence was Lu Jiamu leaving for you?"

Xu Xingyin was always smart and always asked the right questions, so Lu Xu was not surprised. He just nodded and continued the conversation truthfully.

"What my father left me is the evidence of Prince An's crimes. With these things, Prince An will always be wary of me and keep me safe. If one day Prince An can ascend to the throne, perhaps I can return to the court with the help of the friendship between my father and him. But..."

When Lu Xu said this, he was silent for a long time, and then he continued with a slight sob.

"If I cover up the truth to save my own life, then in the future... I don't know how many innocent people will follow our path. I remember you once said that there are too many people in this world who ignore the lives of others for their own selfishness, which leads to so many tragedies of separation of families. Jiaojiao, my father made a mistake, but I don't want to make it again. I don't want there to be others like me who are forced to be pawns of others..."

It will be difficult to make peace with the one you love if you are separated by mountains and seas of hatred and resentment.

For the rest of your life, you will be like a walking corpse, living a life worse than death.

However, Lu Xu never said the second half of the sentence. The secret hidden in one's heart should rot in the bottom of one's heart.

Tian Tian on the side sighed and continued speaking after Lu Xu's words.

"At that time, I happened to be in Qinzhou. When Lu Xu got the news, he found me. He hoped that I could help him get rid of the soldiers and return to the capital to present the evidence to my uncle. Lu Xu wanted to atone for his father, and so did I. So, we rushed all the way back to the capital, but we just heard the news that the prince's cousin had killed his father and seized the throne. When we found something fishy, ​​we didn't dare to enter the imperial city. We hid outside and were discussing countermeasures when we saw the carriage of the East Palace coming out of the imperial city. We knew that the prince's cousin was already in the hands of Prince An, so we guessed that it was you, and followed all the way here."

After hearing this, Xu Xingyin finally smiled knowingly, patted Tian Tian's hand gratefully, and spoke to the two of them sincerely.

"Thank you for trusting His Royal Highness and me."

"I know the character of my cousin the Crown Prince. To put it bluntly, given how much my uncle dotes on him, if he wants that position, my uncle will probably make him the emperor without saying a word. Why would he bother doing such a thankless task?"

Tian Tian smiled again, and after saying this, she sighed with regret.

"After all, we are all family, but Prince An... is truly a disgrace to the royal family!"

Xu Xingyin's eyes dimmed and he asked in a low voice.

"So, what did King An do?"

Tian Tian didn't know how to summarize it, so she simply stuffed the package of evidence into Xu Xingyin's hands.

"See for yourself."

Under the moonlight, Xu Xingyin flipped through the stack of evidence and saw densely packed words recording all the crimes that Prince An had committed in recent years.

There was evidence behind each crime, which was detailed and conclusive, making Xu Xingyin shudder with fear.

No matter whether it is Tian Zitao, Lu Jiamu, or Xu Xiuzhu, even though they have committed numerous crimes, if we trace back to the source, the source of all evil is King An.

Although the evidence seemed disorganized, Xu Xingyin pieced together the cause and effect of the matter after a little thought.

The silver needle case, the girl's kidnapping case, the Jiangnan corruption case, the general's mansion unjust case, the nun's missing case, each and every one of them was caused by Prince An's ambition!

At the beginning, Prince An used the Jiangnan Governor Zhang Zishi to monopolize the salt transportation to make money, but later he found that it took a lot of financial resources to make deals, and the money came from unknown sources, so it was always easy for people to notice the problem.
