Chapter 39 Adulterer

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Bicheng turned around abruptly, his brows furrowed.

"This is absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes men's clothes and shoes in Miss Xie's room!" Bai Yingxue took a deep breath, determined to go all out.

"Originally, this is about the Crown Prince's reputation, so I didn't want to expose it directly. But I can't bear to see the Crown Prince being deceived and kept in the dark without knowing it!"

Xiao Bicheng pursed his lips tightly, said nothing, and just looked up at Xie Zhuoning.

Xie Zhuoning was panicking in his heart, but he looked very calm. "Your Highness, do you believe me or her?"

When Xiao Bicheng heard that he had to choose between the two, he got a headache.

He wanted them both, why did he have to choose?

Bai Yingxue felt a little disappointed when she saw Xiao Bicheng's various reactions today.

She forced herself to calm down and spoke, "Miss Xie, why do you have to let the prince make a choice? If you just go into the room and take a look, won't it be clear what's right and wrong?"

"That's right!" Xiao Bicheng lifted the corner of his robe and was about to kick the door open.

Xie Zhuoning's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly rushed over to stop them, "Wait!"

This guilty look made Bai Yingxue more certain of her guess.

She continued to add fuel to the fire, "Miss Xie, if you are innocent, why are you afraid of people coming in? Could it be that what I said is true, that there is a man in your room?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bicheng became even more furious, and the look he gave Xie Zhuoning became even colder.

It was clear from the look on his face that he had murderous intent!

Xie Zhuoning almost rolled his eyes to the back of his head.

It's okay for him to be affectionate with Bai Yingxue, but why is it not okay for her to be in the same room with another man?

It's simply unreasonable!

She raised her hand to block the door, not moving an inch, "Miss Bai, you said there is a man in the room, so there is a man in the room. Whether there is a man or not is all up to you to make up. Then let me ask you, if there is no man inside when you open the door, what will you do?"

Bai Yingxue said firmly: "It's impossible!"

"What if there isn't? Is my reputation so worthless that you can slander it at will?"

The more he blocked her from entering, the more it proved that Xie Zhuoning was looking for excuses to delay time.

Bai Yingxue whispered a few words into Xiao Bicheng's ear, and he immediately gave an order, "Drag her away!"

The guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Xie Zhuoning away from the door.

Xiao Bicheng raised his foot and kicked the door open!

As soon as I entered, I saw a person lying on the bed.

Next to the bed was a pair of men's brocade boots and a black men's robe.

Bai Yingxue felt happy when she saw this.

Xie Zhuoning, you are done!

No matter how much the Crown Prince cares about the military power in the hands of Marquis Zhenyang, how could he possibly want a Crown Princess who is already not chaste?

What's more, what a shame and humiliation this is for a man.

As expected, when Xiao Bicheng saw the man lying on the bed, he instantly flew into a rage, "You are so brave!"

How dare he lay his hands on the woman from Xiaobi City?

With rage rising, he drew his sword, lifted the quilt and was about to kill the adulterer on the bed.

But when the quilt was lifted, Xiao Bicheng was stunned.

Who is that wild man lying on the bed?

It was clearly the girl named Xia Ju next to Xie Zhuoning!

"How could it be her?" Bai Yingxue's face turned pale in an instant, her body swayed, and she almost couldn't stand steadily.

Looking at the two people's confused expressions, Xie Zhuoning suppressed the curled corners of his mouth.

When Bai Yingxue came to her house, she knew that the other party had bad intentions, so how could she continue to hide Xiao Jinxuan in the room?

Aren't you just waiting for someone to come and catch you cheating?

So before leaving, she gave Xia Ju a few instructions, and when she was out to delay time, she secretly took Xiao Jinxuan out through the back window, and then came back and lay on the bed herself.

Bai Yingxue thought she was delaying because she felt guilty?

That is totally wrong.

She was delaying just to buy as much time as possible for Xia Ju!

Walking to the bed, her eyes turned red and she held back her tears. "When going out, Xia Ju sometimes wears men's clothes for convenience. I didn't expect that when I came to Fu'an Temple to burn incense, I would encounter several robbers on the way. In order to protect me, Xia Ju was seriously injured in the abdomen, so I had to leave her here to take care of her."

After hearing the whole story, Xiao Bicheng realized that he had misunderstood her. His expression changed quickly and softened instantly. "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier, Sister Zhuoning?"

Xie Zhuoning was heartbroken. "What's the use of my explanation? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe me at all!"

It seemed that she was really heartbroken, and she didn't even call him Brother Prince.

Xiao Bicheng frowned for a moment and glared at Bai Yingxue reproachfully.

If it wasn't for her, how could he have mistakenly thought that Xie Zhuoning was having an affair with another man?

I used to think she was like an orchid in a valley, pure and elegant, cool and indifferent. I never expected that she had also learned the jealous and scheming temperament of those little girls.

Bai Yingxue had a lot of pain in her heart but could not say it, so she could only force a smile, "If it is a misunderstanding, that's great. If something happened to Miss Xie, I don't know how sad His Royal Highness would be."

"If something happens to me, whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be sad is another matter, but Miss Bai should be very happy, right?" Xie Zhuoning turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

Bai Yingxue curled her lips and said, "Miss Xie, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't it? Just now, you spoke so confidently, as if you had seen me having an affair with another man with your own eyes. Now that the truth is out, Miss Bai is going to just brush it off by saying 'it's a misunderstanding, that's great'?"

Xie Zhuoning looked sharp and aggressive, and he was not going to let it go.

"Your Highness..." Bai Yingxue shrank back and hid behind Xiao Bicheng like a frightened kitten.

Xiao Bicheng couldn't bear to see his beloved woman being wronged, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, "You're fine, so why do you care about these little things?"

It sounds like she is being too stingy.

Xie Zhuoning was so angry that he laughed.

Just when I was thinking whether I should throw some more tantrums and slap Xiao Bicheng a few times to vent my anger, a deep and powerful voice came -

"The Emperor has ordered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must reflect on his mistakes in the Eastern Palace for half a month. It's only been seven days, so may I ask why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here?"

The jet-black brocade robe with golden python patterns was made to look sharp and angular by his tall and straight body.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was walking towards him, looked a little sharper and more reserved than when he was wearing a white robe, and he was more powerful and intimidating.

Xiao Bicheng's expression suddenly became a little flustered, "Uncle..."

Xiao Jinxuan walked straight up to him, frowning, exuding an indescribable stern aura, "Your Highness, as the crown prince, you should care about the country. For the sake of a woman, you repeatedly offend the emperor and anger the ministers. This is not a wise move."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if the news of you sneaking out of the palace to meet the Saint secretly got out?"

"Your Highness, will you not stop until you are deprived of your throne?"
