Jing Zhichen responded softly, maintaining the same distance and slowly approaching, staring at Xu Xingyin's rosy little face for a long time, just before Xu Xingyin was so shy that she wanted to crawl into the ground.

The man grabbed her shoulders and turned her over, pressing her joints without any defense, which made them snap.

"what!"

The sudden pain, accompanied by the slight sound of bones dislocating, made Xu Xingyin cry out.

Jing Zhichen was as steady as an old dog. He shouted outside, "Aoying, bring the medicine in."

Xu Xingyin: “…”

You Buzhi asked again, "Your Highness, what is this?"

Jing Zhichen answered as a matter of course, "To straighten your bones and heal your injuries."

Xu Xingyin: "Really...#%*&%#@"

Jing Zhichen looked at Xu Xingyin's face which was filled with astonishment and a little shame and anger, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and a mischievous smile flashed across the corners of his eyes.

Then he took the medicine that Aoying brought in, gently helped Xu Xingyin up, let her sit on the couch, took out the ointment, and gently applied it on Xu Xingyin's shoulders and back.

"He doesn't know how to take care of his own injuries, but he is very good at taking care of others."

While applying the medicine, Jing Zhichen whispered reproaches, but his tone was more of concern and care.

Xu Xingyin looked at Jing Zhichen's serious expression, and the shame and anger in his heart were slowly replaced by a warm current. He pouted and said stubbornly.

"It's all your fault. I...I was so angry just now that I didn't notice the wound on my body."

Jing Zhichen was not angry at being "framed" by Xu Xingyin. He just carefully applied the medicine and coaxed her patiently.

"Yes, yes, the Crown Princess is absolutely right. I was wrong. I shouldn't have upset our Jiaojiao. However, you are really so angry..."

Having said that, Jing Zhichen gently put down the ointment, his eyes full of pampering and helplessness. He paused, as if considering how to word it, and thought for a long time before continuing.

"Like a kitten with its fur standing on end."

Xu Xingyin glared at Jing Zhichen coquettishly, "You are the cat!"

"Yes, Jiaojiao said yes, so that's it."

“No principles!”

Jing Zhichen chuckled, gently took Xu Xingyin into his arms, and said proudly.

"The Crown Princess has the final say in all matters in the Eastern Palace. My Jiaojiao is the most important principle."

Xu Xingyin nestled lazily in Jing Zhichen's arms like a cat, feeling the steady heartbeat in his chest, and a long-lost sense of security filled her heart.

How lucky you are to have someone to be with through life and death, and grow old together.

Xu Xingyin gently closed his eyes, allowing himself to immerse himself in the tranquility and happiness of the moment.

……

The Rebellion of Prince An, which was caused by unlimited expansion of ambition, was eventually returned to normal under the iron cavalry of justice.

At first glance, Emperor Yanning, who was hidden in the princess's mansion by the Grand Princess, looked like he was dying with little breathing.

Frightened, Xu Xingyin hurriedly urged Du Huaigu to go to the palace to detoxify. However, Jing Zhichen looked confident and stood aside, chatting with her calmly.

Emperor Yanning had previously taken the "fake poison" developed by Du Huaigu, so after taking the antidote, he regained his former imperial dominance.

After he recovered from his illness, Emperor Yanning immediately returned to the palace to resume court meetings and summoned court officials to begin hearing various cases related to Prince An's Rebellion. There was a solemn and murderous atmosphere throughout the court and the country.

When Emperor Yanning set out to clean up the court, Crown Prince Jing Zhichen went to Tianshan on official business, away from the turmoil of the court.

People all say that the prince is brave and resourceful, yet not greedy for fame or reckless, and knows when to advance and retreat. Such a capable person who is good at governing the country will surely become a wise ruler in the future.

Xu Xingyin didn't know whether Jing Zhichen could become a wise leader. She only knew that if the poison in Jing Zhichen's body continued to be cured, he might really become a nobody in some aspects in the future.

Dead as hell, with nothing left except good looks.

Therefore, while Emperor Yan Ning was working on cleaning up the court, he sent Jing Zhichen to Tianshan to detoxify.

Emperor Yanning, who was anxious to have a grandson, had no objection. If he did not have the dignity of an emperor to uphold, he would probably be even more anxious than Xu Xingyin.

After this incident, Emperor Yan Ning finally compromised with Jing Zhichen's naivety of "one life, one couple" and accepted that Xu Xingyin was the only one in Jing Zhichen's harem, which meant...

He needed to train Xu Xingyin into a qualified Empress Dowager, so that she would be worthy of standing side by side with his Crown Prince and looking down on the world.

Therefore, after Jing Zhichen left Beijing, the matter of Prince An involved many people, and Emperor Yanning was busy with state affairs. Occasionally, when there were matters of royal internal affairs that required assistance, Emperor Yanning would unceremoniously throw them to Xu Xingyin.

Thanks to Emperor Yan Ning, Xu Xingyin has been busy all day since taking over the internal affairs of the six palaces, and he has become so tired that he has lost weight.

Fortunately, Xu Xingyin was indeed smart and had great ability in handling matters, and gradually he won everyone's respect and trust.

After getting the hang of things, he was able to handle the affairs of the six palaces with ease, no matter how complicated they were. In his spare time, Xu Xingyin did not forget to write a letter to Jing Zhichen to tell him about the follow-up of Prince An's Rebellion.

Speaking of Prince An, after his defeat, it was as if all his pride had been taken away from him, and he became extremely depressed.

He confessed to the results of the joint trial by the three courts and all the crimes reported by the officials, with an attitude of "seeking a quick death".

It is worth mentioning that Prince An’s concubine, Wang, did many vicious things for Prince An and also gave many bad ideas.

The reason why Prince An has reached this point today is that Wang has made an "indispensable contribution".

For Wang, instigating Prince An to rebel could not only highlight her "cleverness and talent", but also make Prince An favor her alone.

Moreover, if Prince An could successfully ascend the throne one day, as his "right-hand man", even if I could not become the queen, I would at least be the imperial concubine.

Wang felt it was worth it to take a chance for wealth and glory for the rest of her life.

It’s a pity that Wang lost this time.

Not only did he lose his own life, but the Wang family, who were also accomplices, were also sentenced to death.

The Wang family was wiped out, and even the children in the streets applauded and sang the nursery rhyme "Don't marry a girl from the Wang family."

It is so notorious that it is unique in the capital.

In addition to the Wang family, many other noble families and officials in the capital who had once rebelled for Prince An also took this opportunity to be eliminated.

Those who should be killed were killed, and those who should be replaced were replaced. After a round of rectification, the court of Dayan seemed to be much cleaner.

Unlike the others, Prince An deserved death for his past sins, but when Empress Lu handed over the antidote, Emperor Yanning promised her:

No matter what, the king's life will be saved.

Therefore, Emperor Yanning finally issued an edict to demote Prince An and his family to commoners and imprison them in Dongling for life.

Although Dongling is a royal cemetery, most of those buried there are royal family members who are guilty, including Xiao Lu.
