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

When Chen heard that Xu Xingyin was going out again after he had recovered, she initially disagreed.

But he couldn't resist Xu Xingyin's constant nagging and finally agreed.

Xu Xingyin was concerned about the outcome of the serial murder case, and also wanted to know whether the assassin who assassinated yesterday had been caught. He was so anxious that he ran out of the house almost like the wind.

Seeing Xu Xingyin like this, Chen felt helpless and whispered to Nanny Gu beside her.

"Jiaojiao is not young anymore, but she is still so ignorant of the ways of the world. It's time to find her a good family, so that she can control her temper."

Nanny Gu nodded repeatedly, "Madam is right."

On the other side, Xu Xingyin had no idea of ​​Chen's idea and was concentrating on the case when the carriage stopped without any warning.

"Miss Xu Qi, our master invites you to come upstairs for a chat."

The man who was speaking was very tall, with a face that was even paler than hers. His voice was a little more feminine than that of an ordinary man. After a little thought, Xu Xingyin guessed the identity of the master the man was talking about.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Cui Detao was stunned for a moment, then he quickly reacted and praised with a smile.

"Miss Xu Qi is smart."

In the teahouse's private room, Jing Zhichen held the cup of tea and sniffed it, then slowly skimmed off the tea foam with the lid. The sunlight filtered in through the window, dyeing his handsome eyebrows and eyes a warm golden color.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here to greet you."

Xu Xingyin bowed politely, but saw Jing Zhichen's gaze left the teacup and fell on her. Instead of "no need for formalities" as she had imagined, he said something out of the blue.

"You look bad."

Xu Xingyin touched his face subconsciously and then explained.

"Maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday."

Jing Zhichen withdrew his gaze, put it back on the teacup, and spoke in a flat tone.

"If you can't stand it, you should rest in the house."

"If I rest in the mansion, wouldn't Your Highness be missing out?"

Xu Xingyin's rare teasing made Jing Zhichen slightly stunned, and then he sipped his tea without comment.

"I know what you want to know."

"Then, Your Highness, can you help me solve this problem?"

"When the assassin was caught, he committed suicide by taking poison. The case was closed with the murderer Liu Duankun committing suicide. As for the evidence Liu Duankun mentioned..."

At this point, Jing Zhichen's eyes darkened, "When the people from the Third Division arrived, the entire yard had been burned down by fire."

"Doesn't that mean all the clues are gone?"

"So far, yes."

Xu Xingyin sighed with great disappointment, and Jing Zhichen asked again when he saw this.

"Are you so concerned about this case?"

"Punishing evil and promoting good is the right way in the world. I can only do my best."

I don’t know if Xu Xingyin felt guilty when he said this, but Jing Zhichen didn’t believe a word he said. He fiddled with the tea set skillfully and poured a cup for Xu Xingyin.

"Oh? Miss Xu Qi, don't you think this is a bit too aggressive?"

Xu Xingyin had no way of refutation when Jing Zhichen asked this question. After all, her method this time was indeed quite risky.

The letter that Xu Xingyin asked Jing Zhichen to send out was to tell the mastermind behind the scenes that the government already had evidence of the two people's collusion.

In order to make Liu Duankun keep the secret, the person behind the scenes will definitely get rid of him as soon as possible.

Only in this way would Liu Duankun, who was left with no other options, choose to cooperate with the government and help them find the murderer without hesitation.

The so-called private letter that Fang Niang took out was actually completely fabricated by them.

The letter presented to Emperor Yan Ning stated the whole story and requested Emperor Yan Ning to perform a play for them.

If Emperor Yan Ning refused on the spot, it would mean that all their efforts would be in vain.

The reason for choosing such a layout was that everyone agreed that it would be impossible for Liu Duankun, a mere scholar, to create such a big case.

Moreover, this case is obviously aimed at Jing Zhichen, and it must involve matters of the imperial court.

Even for the sake of his own innocence, Jing Zhichen could not completely stay out of it.

Song Tuiguan and his men had limited abilities and could not completely infiltrate the court, so they could only be a little cautious.

They don't know the answer, so they just let the other party reveal the answer to them.

This game of chess is indeed dangerous, with each step closely linked together. You can't believe you can make a wrong move, but...

Isn't it true that wealth and honor are always sought through risk?

"All is fair in war, Your Highness."

Xu Xingyin explained this, then raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Since Your Highness has asked this, I have something to ask Your Highness. Since this case has nothing to do with Your Highness, why didn't you let me get involved before?"

"I told you, knowing too much is not good for you."

Xu Xingyin curled her lips, "Your Highness's ability to cross the river and destroy the bridge is really beyond the reach of this servant."

"Don't provoke me, it's useless."

As Jing Zhichen spoke, he clapped his hands and saw Ao Ying take two steps forward and place an exquisite box on the table.

"I owe you a favor this time. I heard that you might have been injured yesterday. This ointment can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. I think it will be of some use to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Xingyin knew that the ointment prepared by Mr. Huaigu was a priceless treasure, so he did not bother to be polite with Jing Zhichen and happily accepted the gift.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. Just think of it as your servant repaying the kindness you showed me in the palace last time."

"it is good."

Jing Zhichen had no intention of shirking his responsibility, and responded so smoothly that Xu Xingyin was speechless. Thinking that it would be a bad idea to delay any longer, he just said goodbye when Jing Zhichen spoke again calmly.

"There are two more things that I almost forgot to tell Miss Xu Qi."

"What's the matter?"

"My coming-of-age ceremony will be held again in seven days. In addition, Jinyiwei's Lu Xu made a huge mistake in the Qionghua case. I think the imperial edict for punishment will arrive today."

Xu Xingyin became anxious after hearing this. "How can he be blamed for this? It was clearly the chief clerk who handed over the wrong closing document, and he admitted it in order not to alert the enemy. The whole story was also written in the letter to His Majesty. How could His Majesty not know?"

I clearly mentioned two things, but Xu Xingyin only paid attention to the fact that Lu Xu was punished?

This realization made Jing Zhichen's face darken subconsciously, and he asked back in a stiff tone:

"A merit is a merit, a fault is a fault. The law of the country is not a joke. How can we confuse the two? Miss Xu Qi, are you questioning your father's decision?"

Aoying took two steps back and stood still, silently complaining about his master.

Look, it's really pushed away completely.

Your Highness, don’t you know why Lu Xu was punished?

If you hadn't said "a country has its own laws" and "set an example to warn others", Lu Xu's merits and demerits could have been offset, right?

"..."

Xu Xingyin, who had just responded to someone with similar words in the morning, was responded to with the same words at this moment. He was speechless and could not find a suitable explanation for a while.
