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

Xu Xingyin has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between love and hate. Naturally, he would treat his savior well, so much so that Zeng Tingxue was frightened by Xu Xingyin's enthusiasm and was a little at a loss.

After entering the palace, Aunt Fu asked the palace maids to help the two girls bathe and dress separately.

Since Aunt Fu had already prepared the clothes, Xu Xingyin did not ask Dangui to make an extra trip to get the clothes. After Aunt Fu led the palace servants to deliver the clothes to the door, Xu Xingyin regretted his decision.

Xu Xingyin was born into a prominent family and claimed that he had seen many fine things. The clothes that Aunt Fu sent him were indeed a bit too expensive!

Although this dress looks low-key, everything from the materials used for the clothes, the silk threads used for embroidery to the gems and pearls inlaid on it are precious!

Is this a set of clothes?

This is a box of gold!

Aunt Fu didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it, and she took another tray from the palace maid and placed it in front of Xu Xingyin.

"Just now, I noticed that Miss Xu Qi's previous set of jewelry was no longer complete, so I gave her a set of jewelry that matched it. Miss Xu Qi, please don't despise it."

"No no no."

Xu Xingyin waved her hands quickly, "Aunt Fu, these are too valuable. I cannot bear such kindness. I hope Aunt Fu will take them back. I will ask the maid to get the things I brought with me."

"Miss Xu Qi, please don't refuse. This is a token of our Crown Prince's kindness."

After saying this, Aunt Fu raised her chin towards the outside and said, "Our Crown Prince is still waiting for you outside."

Afterwards, Aunt Fu nodded slightly, and a group of palace maids came over and helped Xu Xingyin change clothes and comb her hair, blocking all the remaining confusion Xu Xingyin had.

When Xu Xingyin was pushed in front of Jing Zhichen after he had packed up, Jing Zhichen was reading a book.

Perhaps Xu Xingyin's arrival disturbed Jing Zhichen. When he raised his head, he met Xu Xingyin's clear black and white eyes.

It was the first time that Xu Xingyin saw Jing Zhichen wearing the prince's court dress.

His hair was tied with a golden crown carved with cranes, and his dark black brocade robe was embroidered with auspicious beasts with bared fangs and claws. It was the symbol of the prince and also the supreme honor.

Jing Zhichen's eyes fell on Xu Xingyin's clothes, and his expression was dazed for a moment.

Time seemed to have gone back to that summer night many years ago, when Empress Mingzhen was wearing this outfit and sitting under the big locust tree in Fengming Palace, holding the little boy in her arms and reading the storybook tenderly.

Xu Xingyin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Jing Zhichen. He called softly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince," and then bowed as if he remembered something.

"Yeah." Jing Zhichen withdrew his gaze and nodded in response.

"Your Highness, do you have something to ask me?"

"This dress..."

Xu Xingyin tugged at the hem of her skirt shyly, and was about to say something like "I like it very much, thank you" when Jing Zhichen interrupted her midway.

"No need to thank me, I'll wash it and send it back to the East Palace later."

Still want to pay it back?

This was the first time Xu Xingyin had heard that giving something to a girl should be returned intact.

He is worthy of being the prince. His ideas are different from those of ordinary people.

"..."

Xu Xingyin pinched his hands hard to avoid showing a look of shock, and then forced a smile and asked, "Does Your Highness want to talk to me about anything else?"

"Ah."

Jing Zhichen paused, and looked at Xu Xingyin with a sharp gaze, which made people subconsciously feel that his next words were extremely important. "I have something to tell you."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Don't investigate Tian Zitao's case anymore."

Xu Xingyin was stunned when she heard this. It was already strange that Jing Zhichen knew that she was investigating the case, and now he was warning her so seriously. No matter how you looked at it, this matter was strange.

"What do you mean, Your Highness? Why can't we investigate?"

"Excessive wisdom will lead to harm. It is better for Miss Xu Qi not to know so much."

Xu Xingyin was stunned. Just as he was about to respond, he heard Zeng Tingxue walking out neatly.

Jing Zhichen didn't stay any longer and left without even saying hello.

After everything was packed up, Xu Xingyin and the others didn't want to stay any longer, so they thanked Aunt Fu and went back together.

When Xu Xingyin returned to the tea party with a lot on his mind, Xu Wanjie was sitting beside Chen anxiously. Seeing that Xu Xingyin was fine, Chen's heart was relieved.

Taking advantage of Xu Xingyin's feeling unwell, he got up and said goodbye to Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu didn't make things difficult for them. He said a few words of concern and let them go.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Chen immediately arranged for someone to send Xu Xingyin back to Chenguang Courtyard, and she turned around and went to Old Madam Xu's Funing Courtyard.

Xu Xingyin knew that Chen did this to protect himself, so he took good care of himself and did not interfere too much with Chen's decisions.

On the second day, news spread in the mansion that Xu Wanjie persecuted the legitimate daughter of the mansion, and was unrepentant and contradicted the mistress in court. She was sent to a villa in the countryside by Madam Xu.

Any young lady from aristocratic family who was sent to a country villa had committed a serious mistake, and would most likely be treated as an outcast by her family.

If the mistress of the mansion is kind, the day she returns to the capital will be the day she gets married. If the mistress holds a grudge, she may have to spend the rest of her life in the other courtyard.

Dan Gui was still chattering about the news in the mansion, while Xu Xingyin was lost in thought while listening. After a while, he said softly:

"I think there's something fishy about this."

"What's so strange?" Dan Feng was the first to disagree. "The Sixth Miss is usually at odds with the Young Lady. This time, she must be resentful after being punished by Madam!"

"She doesn't like me. If she can take advantage of others' favor, she will do many things to take advantage of others, but she has never had the courage to go against me alone. This time, don't you think Xu Wanjie's behavior is too radical? It's like..."

Xu Xingyin paused for a moment, "As if he was stimulated by something?"

"What kind of stimulation can she receive? Even if she needs to be stimulated, she is the one who stimulates herself! This person who has taken over the magpie's nest is blaming others for his mistakes. This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a shameless person!"

"Oh, our Danfeng is also a cultured person who can speak idioms!" Danying joked with a smile.

Xu Xingyin also laughed when he heard this, and his mood improved so he didn't want to worry about it anymore.

"Forget it. Since there is no evidence, it's a waste of time to be suspicious. Let's just leave it at that."

Danying smiled and said "yes", then asked again.

"Miss, since you think this matter may be suspicious, why don't you go and ask for mercy for Miss Six? This way you can even be known as a magnanimous person!"

"Don't go."

Xu Xingyin answered without any hesitation.

"Whether she was used by others or not, it is a fact that she almost took my life. If there is no evil in her heart, it is useless for others to use her. If she has bad intentions, it will always be a disaster to keep her around. It is better to get rid of her as soon as possible. Besides, I have never cared about these false reputations."
