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

Chapter 217 3 Years of Embrace 2

Seeing how close the two of them were, the tough look on Xiao Lu's face paused slightly.

"Since the prince has said so, I naturally cannot say anything more."

Even though Xiao Lu was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up. Then he softened his tone and smiled.

"What wind brought the prince here today?"

"Nothing, I just promised the Crown Princess something and just finished it. I came here to explain a few things to her so she wouldn't worry."

Jing Zhichen responded calmly, then changed the subject.

"Besides, the Crown Princess is still young and doesn't know much about the affairs of the harem. I am also afraid that she will have a bad temper and offend the Empress. I would like to apologize to the Empress first and ask for her forgiveness."

Although Jing Zhichen said this respectfully, the protectiveness in his tone was obvious.

Little Lu's eyes flickered slightly. Although he felt unwilling in his heart, he could only smile and go along with it.

"How could that be? The Crown Princess is very sweet-mouthed. I love her so much that I can't wait to see her."

"That's good." Jing Zhichen's expression softened after hearing this. "I have something important to discuss with the Crown Princess. Can you lend me the Queen's side palace?"

"nature."

Empress Lu responded with a smile, turned around and winked at the palace maids beside her, indicating that they should lead Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin to the side hall.

The two of them left one after the other, and Xiao Luhou's face finally darkened.

When everyone looked at Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin's tightly clasped hands, envy flashed in their eyes.

Who could have thought that the cold-hearted prince they described would be so deeply in love with the Crown Princess?

This deep affection is truly enviable.

……

On the other side, the door of the side hall slowly closed, blocking out the view from the outside world.

In the side hall, Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin sat side by side. At this moment, was Jing Zhichen still showing any of the coldness he had just shown?

There was no one around, and Xu Xingyin remembered that she and Jing Zhichen had just had a quarrel yesterday. Her face tensed and she pouted.

"What on earth has caused His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to chase after Empress Xiao Lu?"

"I have investigated all those absurd things Yang Mingxue said. I was originally going to deal with the Yang family first, but when I heard that you were in trouble with Xiao Lu, and Yang Mingxue was also in Fengming Palace, I rushed here first. In order to prevent my Crown Princess from being unhappy and asking for a divorce, I really can't handle it."

Jing Zhichen said this in a way that sounded aggrieved, and Xu Xingyin almost laughed out loud, but she still forced herself to hold back her smile, and spoke in a stern tone.

"It seems that Your Highness knows that none of your romantic debts are easy to deal with!"

Jing Zhichen felt very aggrieved and began to explain.

"I was afraid that you would worry about what happened on the 15th of every month, so I didn't want to tell you, but now I can't care so much.

When I was in the palace, I was still very young, and the people around me were unable to protect me even though they tried their best to prevent me. When I was ten years old, I was poisoned by a strange poison, and no one in the country could find an antidote.

Fortunately, he met Mr. Huaigu, who saved his life temporarily. But even Mr. Huaigu could not completely eradicate the poison, so the poison would relapse once every 15th of every month.

The crown prince was poisoned. If the news got out, there would be chaos in the world. That's why I resolutely left the capital for so many years."

When Xu Xingyin heard this, his brows were furrowed like a small mountain, and he said anxiously with a serious expression.

"Poisoned? So you don't stay in the East Palace on the 15th of every month just to hide your identity? Are you feeling better now?"

Jing Zhichen nodded. "Same old, the poison in the body has not been cleared yet, Huaigu has been adjusting the prescription and looking for a solution. Anyway... as long as he won't die, there is always a way."

Hearing this, Xu Xingyin no longer cared about being jealous. He slammed the table and jumped up in anger.

"Jing Zhichen! There is always a way. Don't say such discouraging words anymore, otherwise I will... I will..."

Xu Xingyin's face turned red with anger, and for a moment she didn't know how to threaten Jing Zhichen.

In her eyes, Jing Zhichen has always been an excellent crown prince. Gold, silver, power, everything is within his reach.

What weaknesses does a person like him have?

Jing Zhichen looked at Xu Xingyin's reaction and felt warm in his heart. He stood up, took a few steps closer and teased.

"Just how?"

Xu Xingyin was also annoyed and stomped his feet in anger.

"Then I will divorce you, and then find a handsome, knowledgeable and elegant man to marry, and have two children in three years... I..."

Before Xu Xingyin could finish his harsh words, Jing Zhichen suddenly sealed his mouth with a kiss.

Xu Xingyin glared at him and opened her mouth to bite, but Jing Zhichen was prepared and held her lower lip, rubbing it gently, and whispered softly in her ear.

"With such a fierce attitude, which young master would dare to marry you? Besides me, who else would dare to marry you?"

Jing Zhichen originally said this as a joke, but unexpectedly Xu Xingyin took it seriously. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell drop by drop onto Jing Zhichen's heart, burning him so much that it hurt.

"Then I will die alone! No one will love me!"

"Xu Jiaojiao, you are so heartless. I love you so much, and everyone in the world knows it except you."

Xu Xingyin's eyes were red, "Love? If Your Highness has me in your heart, you should take good care of your body. Otherwise, you might as well let me go free as soon as possible, so that we don't get tired of each other when we meet!"

Seeing her temper getting worse and worse, Jing Zhichen's love for her grew stronger. He lowered his head and gently kissed Xu Xingyin on the forehead.

"Alright, alright, Jiaojiao, don't be upset. I was wrong, and I will never say such discouraging words again. I will take good care of myself and live a long life so that I can grow old with Jiaojiao."

Xu Xingyin had never heard Jing Zhichen speak in such a coaxing tone like a child, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He turned his head slightly and said angrily.

"Who wants to grow old with you? Don't think that the matter of Yang Mingxue can be put to rest so easily!"

Seeing this, Jing Zhichen felt amused. He took Xu Xingyin's hand and held it gently.

"Consummation of marriage..."

When Jing Zhichen said this, he blushed a little, but when he looked at Xu Xingyin's face which looked like "let's see how you explain it", he still went on to explain.

"There are some ingredients in the prescription Huaigu gave that are not good for women, and I am afraid that it will hurt your body. We are still young anyway, so there is no rush to have children."

When Xu Xingyin heard him say this, he felt pity in his heart again.

In the past, although Jing Zhichen was a prince, he lived in intrigue and deception all day long and spent so many years alone and helpless.

It seems to be a prosperous and glorious place, but in fact it is full of dangers.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin couldn't bear to pursue the matter of Yang Mingxue any further. He was about to wave his hand and end the matter, but he heard Jing Zhichen speak.

"As for Yang Mingxue, the reason why I have always been so tolerant towards her is because..."
