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

As more and more people started to think this way, the camp that originally represented the imperial court and came to execute the deposed prince even began to have internal strife on a small scale.

Seeing that Prince An's group's morale had plummeted, Xu Xingyin was delighted. He turned around in the chaos, hunched over to avoid the messy crowd, and went straight to Jing Zhichen.

Just when Xu Xingyin was about to touch the corner of Jing Zhichen's clothes, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves. Amidst the flying dust, a long spear came from the air and with a "bang" it pierced deeply into the floor only two steps away from Xu Xingyin.

The tip of the spear almost brushed the corner of Xu Xingyin's clothes, tore a piece of her skirt, and lay listlessly on her legs, looking a little embarrassed.

Xu Xingyin turned his head and saw a black horse galloping towards them in the dust in the distance. The man on the horse had a handsome face, but his eyes were full of cruelty.

It’s Prince An.

Prince An stopped his horse, glanced at the shattered carriage and the panicked officials, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He swung the spear in his hand and pointed it directly at Xu Xingyin.

"What a trick! Xu Xingyin, you ordered people to hide my father, didn't you? Then you took advantage of my return to the palace to slander me at the execution ground, stirring up trouble and making me run around in circles! Xu Xingyin, I underestimated you."

That’s right. Xu Xingyin knew that Prince An was a suspicious person and would not easily give up and go to the execution ground in person, so he contacted the Grand Princess through Tian Tian yesterday.

It is hoped that the Grand Princess can secretly hide the seriously injured and unconscious Emperor Yan Ning before the execution.

Emperor Yanning was seriously injured, but Prince An did not take the opportunity to take his life. He just wanted to use the incident of Emperor Yanning to make Jing Zhichen die naturally.

As for Prince An, once Jing Zhichen died, he only needed to play the role of a "filial son" for a few more days and he could ascend the throne legitimately.

By then, it would be most appropriate for Emperor Yan Ning to die again.

If there is anyone else that Prince An is afraid of besides Jing Zhichen, it is only Emperor Yanning.

Therefore, when Prince An learned that Emperor Yanning had "mysteriously disappeared", he was immediately thrown into panic. In addition, he was a suspicious person to begin with, so when he learned that Emperor Yanning was missing, he would definitely have many speculations, among which there would inevitably be some speculations like "Emperor Yanning faked his death."

After all, Jing Zhichen is only the crown prince and cannot decide the life or death of Prince An.

But Emperor Yanning is different. If Emperor Yanning still has a chance to be alive, it means that Prince An’s series of conspiracies will soon be exposed.

Once those secrets are exposed, Prince An will be killed.

Therefore, Prince An would not allow any mistake to happen to Emperor Yanning.

Xu Xingyin was certain of Prince An's suspicious nature, so he took the risky move and asked the Grand Princess to hide the person.

However, now that the two sides are officially confronting each other, Xu Xingyin naturally will not admit it.

Xu Xingyin's beautiful eyes moved, and she smiled sarcastically, "What does Prince An mean? I don't understand. You are too guilty to see anyone, but now that the evidence has been exposed, you are desperate and are trying to blame me again?"

Prince An probably did not expect Xu Xingyin to respond so naturally. He glared at Xu Xingyin fiercely, said "OK" three times in a row, and even laughed out of anger.

"Then how do you know that the king is not in the carriage?"

Xu Xingyin raised his chin slightly, motioning Prince An to take a look at the tracks under the shaft of the carriage, and kindly provided some scientific information.

"Prince An, how can a grown man sitting inside not have any weight? Moreover, when your guard imitated your voice, his voice was 100% accurate, but his momentum was always a little off. Hearing that dejection... if you don't know, you might think Prince An's mansion was ransacked."

"You are sharp-tongued and a habitual liar. I never thought that the deposed crown prince would like someone as unpresentable as you. However, I might as well teach you a lesson today. Whether it is the support of the officials or the public opinion, all of them... are not as strong as my weapon."

Prince An spoke in an arrogant tone, and after saying this, he suddenly waved his hand, and Prince An's personal soldiers immediately rushed out like a tide, surrounding the execution ground.

The sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground made people panic. Officials and civilians retreated one after another, fearing that they would be swallowed up by the wave of iron cavalry.

The arrival of Prince An's personal soldiers instantly turned the tide of the battle, making the already chaotic situation even more out of control.

Even though Xu Xingyin and his group fought hard, the numerical disadvantage and the rapid attack of the cavalry made their resistance seem increasingly powerless.

Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Xu Xingyin became extremely anxious.

Just as he was thinking about how to break the impasse, he saw a glimmer of pride in Prince An's eyes. After a sneer, he suddenly raised the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed at Jing Zhichen who was tied up on the execution platform.

Xu Xingyin's heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't care about his current situation. He rushed out of the encirclement and went straight towards Jing Zhichen.

Even if she has to face thousands of troops, she must go to save Jing Zhichen!

Seeing Xu Xingyin rushing towards Jing Zhichen regardless of everything, a hint of amusement flashed in Prince An's eyes. He deliberately slowed down his archery movements, as if he wanted to appreciate this beautiful drama.

He was very curious about what a smart woman like Xu Xingyin would do for a man.

Could it be that Jing Zhichen is more important than her life?

The officials and soldiers of the imperial court were now unsure who was right and who was wrong in this "battle between the Crown Prince and Prince An", so they just turned a blind eye and did not stop Xu Xingyin.

What's more, he even "accidentally" helped Xu Xingyin block two attacks. As a result, Xu Xingyin was extremely fast and soon arrived beside Jing Zhichen.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to help Jing Zhichen remove the shackles, "Jing Zhichen", who was supposed to be powerless to resist, suddenly broke free from the restraints, jumped up from the execution platform, and grabbed Xu Xingyin's wrist.

Xu Xingyin was startled and looked up, only to see that the man's face was exactly the same as Jing Zhichen, but there was a ruthlessness in his eyes that was completely different from what she remembered.

In just a moment, Xu Xingyin realized that he had fallen into Prince An's trap. This person was not the real Jing Zhichen, but a substitute that Prince An had arranged long ago!

"Tian Nai, even though I was tricked by you, it doesn't mean I have no defenses against you."

Upon seeing this, Prince An clapped his hands and laughed, then glanced at Xu Xingyin sarcastically and said sarcastically.

"Look, caring too much can lead to confusion. This trick is not only useful for me, but also for you, Xu Xingyin."

Prince An's words pierced Xu Xingyin's heart like a needle. Her expression did not change, but her mind kept thinking for a moment.

Prince An is a cruel and ruthless person. Since he chose to use a substitute to lure the enemy, in order to ensure absolute safety, he would not allow the real Jing Zhichen to survive in the world.

So, the real Jing Zhichen...

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin's face turned pale, and he didn't even avoid the coldness on his neck. He looked into King An's eyes with burning eyes and began to question.

"Where's Jing Zhichen?"

Prince An raised a cruel smile and said sarcastically.

"Xu Xingyin, instead of worrying about Jing Zhichen's life or death, you should worry about yourself first."
