Chapter 413 You Are Not Her

"You...are not Zhuoning's sister?" Xiao Bicheng's tone was filled with doubt, staring at Xie Zhuoning without blinking.

He carefully identified her face, eyebrows, nose, lips, and outlines...

Looks like it, very much like it!

There is only a small beauty spot on the wing of her nose, which Sister Zhuoning doesn’t have.

She has a mole at the end of her eye.

Yes, one is dazzling, the other is charming and seductive, how could I mistake them for the same person?

Moreover, she died in the palace. Although her face was burnt beyond recognition, who else could it be under the layers of guards in the palace where even a fly could hardly fly in?

"You are not her." This time, Xiao Bichen's tone was firm.

Xie Zhuoning's eyes were filled with sarcasm, "Yes, I said it when I first arrived, I am not her anymore."

On the way back, Xia Ju made many human skin masks for her, but after choosing, she finally let Xia Ju cover her original tear mole and then create a fake mole on the tip of her nose.

There was such a subtle difference that even Xiao Jinxuan was a little worried whether he could get away with it.

But she was very confident.

Because she knew that Xiao Bicheng was suspicious by nature, the more similar it looked, the more she felt that there was something fishy going on.

As expected, Xiao Bicheng quickly calmed down the turmoil in his heart, turned to look at Xiao Jinxuan, and said meaningfully, "Uncle Seventeen, do you think there are really people who look so similar in this world? Be careful of some people who have ulterior motives."

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhuoning directly pointed out, "Is it me that the person with ulterior motives that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking about? Yes, I had ulterior motives and deliberately approached His Royal Highness Prince Xuan!"

Is this...an admission?

It seems that I have seen through my little tricks and I know I can’t pretend anymore!

Xiao Bicheng said sneerily: "In that case, if you tell the truth quickly, I can spare your life..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Zhuoning looked at Xiao Jinxuan with deep affection, "Your Highness Prince Xuan has a beautiful figure, I have admired you for a long time, but I know that we are of different status, so I can only hide this feeling in my heart. It was not until the death of Princess Xuan that I learned that His Highness Prince Xuan was deeply shocked and devastated. I was extremely anxious, so I found an opportunity and deliberately approached His Highness Prince Xuan, hoping to cheer him up again."

"I used to hate my face because it was similar to others, but now I am extremely grateful that I have this face, which can bring a little comfort to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan."

Xiao Jinxuan was moved by her ups and downs in her voice, even though he knew she was acting again. "Aning..."

Xie Zhuoning's eyes immediately filled with tears. "I'm here. Although I know that Your Highness did not call me, I will always be here as long as you need me. I will see you get back on your feet on behalf of my sister Princess!"

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flickered, and gradually became firm, "You are right, if she were still alive, she would definitely not want to see me so depressed. Her murderer has not been found yet, and even if I die, I will not have the face to see her again!"

Xiao Bicheng, who originally wanted to provoke some trouble, couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast when he heard these words.

When the news of Xie Zhuoning's death came out, his seventeenth uncle went crazy and caused chaos in the entire capital.

Anyone he considered suspicious, whether from the Empress Dowager Yin's family or his mother's side, suffered a lot of losses and implicated many people.

Now that he has regained his strength, he is preparing to investigate Xie Zhuoning's death again, and he doesn't know how many people will suffer!

At this moment, Xiao Bicheng was extremely annoyed and regretted why he had to come and take a look at Xiao Jinxuan after he had gone to Prince Yong's mansion to see Prince Yong's fate.

This trip not only brought shame upon himself, but also made the common people remember Xiao Jinxuan's good points and his own bad points.

Now I wanted to make some provocative remarks, but what I said ended up arousing Xiao Jinxuan's fighting spirit.

It's like losing both the wife and the army!

Xiao Bicheng was obviously a little upset, and said in a sour tone, "Is it possible that Uncle Seventeen is still thinking about revenge for Sister Zhuo Ning? I thought Uncle Seventeen only saw the smiles of new people and did not hear the cries of the old ones. If I had known that this would be the fate of her marrying you, I would never have let go of her hand."

He finished his words deliberately, and then showed an expression as if he had accidentally said something wrong, "I just expressed my feelings a few words, please don't mind, Uncle Seventeen."

When Xie Zhuoning heard these words, he almost jumped up and scolded Xiao Bicheng for being shameless.

Didn't he agree to cancel the engagement because his beloved Bai Yingxue became a saint and he thought marrying her would win the hearts of the people, so after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to give up on himself?

Why now when he said it, it sounded like he was giving in for her happiness.

How hypocritical.

On the side, Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyebrows and answered nonchalantly, "Of course, after all, I am the one who married her, why would I mind?"

Xiao Bicheng didn't make Xiao Jinxuan angry, but he himself became angry instead.

"I have something else to do, so I will go back first. Uncle Seventeen, you must take good care of your health. The Emperor and I are looking forward to your early return to the court."

After saying this in a neutral tone, Xiao Bicheng turned around and left.

Xiao Jinxuan did not go out to see him off, saying that his clothes were inappropriate, and just asked Yan He to escort him out of the house.

After they left, Xie Zhuoning breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately I got back in time."

When they arrived at Prince Xuan's mansion, there was already a large crowd gathered at the door, and Xiao Bicheng was among them.

If he went directly into the mansion, the fact that Xiao Jinxuan was not in Prince Xuan's mansion would be exposed.

However, he seized on the evidence of Prince Xuan's harsh treatment of the old man and wanted to suppress Xiao Jinxuan's reputation, so he delayed time and gave them the opportunity to return to the palace through the side door.

This guy has a bad heart and even God doesn't help him.

Xiao Jinxuan pinched her nose and said, "You lie so easily and you make it sound like the truth."

If I didn't know her character, I might have believed her lies.

Xie Zhuoning said confidently, "Where did I lie? I have devoted my life to the king, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that. How dare you accuse me of lying? I am so wronged!"

She really hoped for the best for him.

What they are doing now is murderous.

If one day, she really ends up dying due to a mistake, she hopes that Xiao Jinxuan can live well and try to move forward.

But forget about finding a substitute.

She's already dead. Even if he finds someone similar to him, pours his love into someone else, and then cherishes himself through someone else, living his whole life in regret, self-blame, and hesitation, what's the point?

She hoped that when he loved someone, he would not love her because of who she looked like, but because she was good.

But now, at this moment, Xiao Jinxuan is hers.

She reached out, hugged his waist, buried her head in his chest, and said muffledly, "Xiao Jinxuan, you are mine."

Xiao Jinxuan reached out and rubbed her head, looking a little strange, "What's wrong?"

He was fine just now, why did he suddenly change his temper now?

Xie Zhuoning hesitated, "You..."

"Um?"

"You promised me before, but now you're wearing something like that to show me. Does that still count?"

Xiao Jinxuan: “…”

He shouldn't have asked that question!
