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

For some unknown reason, Xu Xingyin turned around according to Jing Zhichen's words.

Turning around, there was a vermilion stone pillar. There was no panicked crowd, nor blood. All he could hear was the sound of Jing Zhichen handling affairs in an orderly manner.

"The Imperial Guards and Imperial Household Department will escort Father back to the palace. Send more personnel to ensure that the emperor is well protected. The Imperial Guards and Shuntian Prefecture will impose martial law throughout the city to find the assassin and capture him alive if possible. The three officials will evacuate the people in an orderly manner and protect the scene. Also, summon the coroner to perform an autopsy. Any clues must be recorded one by one."

After dealing with all this calmly, Jing Zhichen lowered his voice slightly and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Miss Xu Qi's identity should not be exposed. I will send Aoying to escort you back to the Duke's Mansion."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Ah."

After saying this, the man stepped forward and escorted Emperor Yan Ning out of the main hall.

Ao Ying walked quickly over and led Xu Xingyin into an extremely low-key carriage. After several turns, they changed carriages and were taken back to the Duke's Mansion.

Ao Ying claimed that he was a servant in the Grand Princess's mansion, and that Xu Xing seemed to have caught a cold and was feeling unwell, so he was ordered by Princess Yongyi to escort her back to the mansion.

After hearing what Ao Ying said, Xu Xingyin remembered Dan Feng, whom he had left at the Grand Princess's Mansion. He quietly asked Ao Ying to go to the Grand Princess's Mansion to help him bring the person back, and then quietly explained to Chen.

"I asked Dan Feng to go buy food for me, so I'm bothering this young man to send my daughter back."

"Nothing else matters, just take a good rest first."

Chen no longer cared about Dan Feng. She quickly called two maids to send Xu Xingyin back to the yard, and she personally escorted Aoying out to show courtesy.

Xu Xingyin, who was still in shock, looked very bad. As soon as she entered the yard, Dangui pushed her to the bed as if she was facing a great enemy and told her to have a good rest.

Xu Xingyin really wasn't in the mood to deal with anything else, so he nodded and fell asleep.

Xu Xingyin did not sleep well that night. She kept dreaming about the day when the incident happened in the Zhennan General's Mansion. She dreamed that her grandfather died in her arms and that her grandmother and uncle were all imprisoned in a dark cell.

After waking up several times, Xu Xingyin was afraid that he would wake up the maid on duty outside, so he could only comfort himself and fall asleep again. In this daze, he finally made it to dawn.

"come in."

Xu Xingyin called out softly, and Danying led two second-class maids in carrying basins of water and clothes. She gently helped Xu Xingyin up and said with a smile.

"My lady looks much better today. You scared me to death yesterday."

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

Xu Xingyin smiled, changed his clothes with Danying's help, and was sitting in front of the mirror while dressing up when he heard Danying pause and say.

"After the young lady went to bed yesterday, the master came to see her and said that Danfeng didn't serve her well, so he punished her by making her kneel outside for a whole night."

Xu Xingyin was frightened when he heard this, and quickly pushed away Danying's hands that were braiding her hair, got up and left the room.

Sure enough, Dan Feng was kneeling in the courtyard. Looking at his pale face, it was obvious that he had been kneeling all night.

Xu Xingyin didn't care about anything else and hurried forward to grab Danfeng's hand and help her up.

"Send Danfeng back to rest. Do not discuss this matter in the future. I will talk to the Duke."

"Miss……"

Dan Gui waved her hand and asked someone to help Dan Feng down first, then she whispered to Xu Xingyin, "Miss, the master is just concerned about you. If this matter gets to the master's ears, it might be bad for you."

"you're right."

Xu Xingyin showed no fear at all and spoke in a deliberately louder voice.

"If there weren't any gossipers in our yard, this rumor wouldn't have gotten out. This time it's to punish Danfeng, but next time? It's to trip me up! Work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly. But if you have other thoughts, don't blame me for my bad temper!"

Dangui knew that Xu Xingyin's words were a warning to those restless little rascals in the yard, so she agreed honestly and said nothing more.

Xu Xingyin went back into the house, dressed himself, and went to pay his respects to Old Madam Xu.

As soon as they saw Xu Xingyin, everyone couldn't help but ask about her health, and the same was true for Old Madam Xu.

"Is Jiaojiao feeling better?"

Xu Xingyin smiled and replied, "My granddaughter is well now. I am very grateful for everyone's concern."

"We are all family, why are you being so polite?"

Mrs. Xu said this with a smile, chatted with the younger ones for a few more minutes, and then let them leave first.

As the Xu sisters walked out of the door, they heard Xu Wanfeng snorting in a sarcastic tone beside them.

"Seventh sister is in good health, but we feel sorry for our sixth sister. I heard that she will be sent to the manor tomorrow."

"Second sister, what you said makes sense. Although Sixth sister almost drowned me last time, we are still a family after all, right?"

Xu Xingyin took over the conversation calmly, pretending not to understand the provocation, and turned around to instruct Dangui.

"It's a long journey, so you must not be short of money. You can give Sixth Sister some money later, so that she can travel more comfortably."

"Money is good, but it's not as good as home. Seventh sister's hypocritical behavior is really embarrassing. If Seventh sister really cares about Sixth sister, she should ask grandma to forgive her."

"I was lucky that I didn't drown this time. I repay evil with kindness. I don't have the broad mind of my second sister. Besides, this was my grandmother's idea. I dare not question her decision like my second sister does."

Isn't it just a competition of who is better at putting labels on others?

Xu Xingyin is not afraid of this.

After being accused of disrespecting elders, Xu Wanfeng had to give up even if she wanted to speak up for Xu Wanjie.

Seeing Xu Wanfeng defeated, Xu Wanmian took over the conversation gently.

"Seventh sister, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. We are just sisters who have been together for so many years. Now that Sixth sister is going on a long journey, I naturally hope that she can stay."

"Third sister is kind-hearted. Why don't you go and talk to grandma yourself? That way, you can also gain a reputation as a friendly and fraternal person."

"Seventh sister, do you think I'm being hypocritical when you say this?"

"Third sister, I didn't say a word. These are all your own thoughts."

In terms of verbal skills, Xu Xingyin didn't let Xu Wanmian take advantage of him at all.

Unfortunately, Xu Wanmian is someone who has to maintain his image everywhere, unlike Xu Xingyin who is ruthless, so he is suppressed almost everywhere.

After a few rounds, Xu Wanmian saw that he could not gain any advantage, so he gave up the idea.

"Sixth sister will be leaving the house tomorrow. Seventh sister, would you like to go and see her today?"

"No."

Xu Xingyin waved his hand and pointed at Dangui, "Dangui, please help me convey my thoughts. I have to go to the Grand Princess's residence today, so I won't talk to you any more."

After saying that, Xu Xingyin went to Chen's yard.
