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

The prince took the initiative to show goodwill, so Xu Xingyin naturally could not offend the other party. He took the tea respectfully and smiled.

"Your Highness, if you have any requests, please tell me directly. I will do my best to fulfill them."

"There's no need to use such strong words. I just want to make a deal with Miss Xu Qi."

After saying this, Jing Zhichen straightened his body slightly, and looked at Xu Xingyin with focused and deep eyes, as if she was the only one left in this world.

"Xu Xingyin, please marry me."

"..."

These light words scared Xu Xingyin so much that the teacup in his hand dropped.

With his almond-shaped eyes wide open, meeting Jing Zhichen's calm eyes, Xu Xingyin clearly saw his own dazed expression.

Xu Xingyin was so frightened that he even forgot to use honorifics and stuttered to confirm with Jing Zhichen again.

"You...what did you say?"

Jing Zhichen answered again, "I said, marry me."

"why?"

When it came to his own lifelong event, Xu Xingyin no longer remembered the difference between a ruler and his subjects, and he jumped up from his stool in shock.

"If you don't like me, why do you have to marry me? Is it to fulfill Queen Mingzhen's wish?"

"I have reached the age to marry. Many people in the court and the public are eyeing the position of Crown Princess. Instead of letting them plot, why don't I make plans earlier? This position will not be yours or anyone else's. Compared to others, I think you are more suitable."

Jing Zhichen doesn't talk about love, but only about interests. Being too clear-headed, he inevitably seems a little cold.

Xu Xingyin looked up at him, and he still looked as steady as a rock, his deep eyes calm without a trace of disturbance.

Look, he is really a person in a high position.

Only by analyzing the pros and cons and not being restrained by anyone can you be invincible.

But Xu Xingyin and Jing Zhichen are different.

Although she has seen too many cruel things in the world, she still retains some innocence in her bones.

She seems free and easy, but in fact she has an incomprehensible obsession with beautiful things.

She looks forward to the beautiful spring scene with flowers in full bloom, the happy father and son, and also to being loved...

It was difficult for her to accept the cost of her life to consolidate her tremendous power. One has to live one's own life. What does it matter if people envy you? If one lives on thin ice, no matter how glamorous one is, it will be of no use.

"Your Highness may have found the wrong person."

Xu Xingyin calmly picked up the teacup and firmly rejected Jing Zhichen.

"I am not talented enough to shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

Jing Zhichen was obviously not surprised by Xu Xingyin's answer.

Many women were vying for the position of Crown Princess, but this man alone was disdainful of her, and that was why he chose her.

"Miss Xu Qi, don't be so hasty to reject me. Since this is a deal, it will naturally benefit Miss Xu Qi, right?"

Jing Zhichen still looked confident in his words, and his next words were gradually progressive.

Even a man as determined as Xu Xingyin was almost persuaded by Jing Zhichen.

"I heard that the Duke's wife is planning to arrange a marriage for Miss Xu Qi recently, and she seems to have set her sights on the son of the Shen family. Although the son of the Shen family is not bad, he is not the one Miss Xu Qi really likes. When you get married, you have to be prepared to serve your husband, take care of household chores, and be filial to your parents-in-law. Love is probably not that important anymore."

"If Miss Xu Qi agrees to my request, you and I will be different as allies. First, we have no feelings for each other, and I will not ask you to serve me or worry about the chores. As long as outsiders can't see the flaws, you can do whatever you want. Second, when I have established myself and you have found your beloved, I will divorce you and set you free."

"Of course, marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers. Since the Shen family has produced a useless thing like Shen Er, perhaps this marriage will not be successful. But even if it is not the Shen family, it will be another family. According to the status of the Duke's Mansion, the status of the son-in-law will not be low. Such a family has strict etiquette. If you marry into it, you can only be a lady in the boudoir who never goes out of the house. Miss Xu Qi will probably never have the chance to check the chores that she has not yet dealt with in the future, right?"

"But the East Palace is different. I built a palace outside the palace for convenience. If it's convenient for me, it will be convenient for you too. As long as you don't reveal your identity when you go out, no one can control you. I think it will be more comfortable than you are at home now."

"With Xu Chaoming back home, I'm sure your main house is not having an easy time. I heard that even your brother's request to be crowned as the Crown Prince has been suppressed. The Duke's wife is anxious to find a good marriage for you. Even if she wants to protect you, she is also adding weight to your main house. The Shen family is a rising star, but after all, their foundation is weak. In other words, even among the truly famous families, how many are willing to get involved in the fights of other families? If you accidentally offend the Duke, it would be embarrassing to see them everywhere, right?"

"I don't need me to explain this to Miss Xu Qi. The status of the Crown Princess is enough for your mother and brother to gain a foothold in the Duke's Mansion. Besides, I have never needed your father's help, so I am not afraid of offending him."

"The last point, although Miss Xu Qi has kept it a secret, I know in my heart that you have been secretly investigating the case of General Zhennan's Mansion. As it happens, I am also quite interested in this case. General Zhennan is a loyal and patriotic man. I believe in his innocence."

"Miss Xu Qi, instead of running into obstacles all by herself, why don't you join hands with me and get to the bottom of this matter together?"

After saying this, Jing Zhichen stopped talking.

Luoxue looked at Xu Xingyin silently, without any anxiety or impatience, as if Xu Xingyin had something to ask of him.

It has to be said that Jing Zhichen's words were well-reasoned and in sharp contrast. He touched upon Xu Xingyin's weaknesses, and then patiently and persuadingly extended an olive branch to her.

The conditions are so good that it is really tempting and hard to refuse.

Especially the last one, this case is so complicated that most people try to avoid it.

If Jing Zhichen could really help her, then solving the case would naturally be much easier.

Xu Xingyin thought for a moment, pursed his lips and asked softly.

"Your Highness wants to find a princess to act with you. There are many choices. I admit that I have nothing. I wonder why Your Highness chose me?"

"You are smart enough."

Jing Zhichen was frank, "If such a good thing happened to someone else, they would probably be very happy. But you are very calm and not blinded by the sudden pie, which is rare. I have also seen how you investigate cases. Although you are not as sharp as a torch, you think much more deeply than ordinary women. In addition..."

Jing Zhichen shifted his focus slightly here and fixed his gaze on the mountains not far away. Too many emotions flashed through his eyes so fast that people couldn't catch them all.
