Chapter 472 She is the one I love!
The crowd made way and Xiao Jinxuan stepped in.
He was tall and straight, dressed in a black robe, cold and murderous. Without any hesitation, he walked straight towards Xie Zhuoning. His hard brows softened the moment he looked at her. "Are you okay?"
When Xie Zhuoning saw him coming, his heart felt like it was soaked in hot water, warm and swelling. "Why did you come back so soon? Is everything going well?"
"It's just a little trouble, nothing serious." Xiao Jinxuan said lightly, but the bloody smell on his body still hit his face.
Xie Zhuoning knew with his toes that he had no idea how many people wanted to kill him on his trip to the imperial mausoleum, and the journey would be extremely dangerous.
But when he came back to the capital, he didn't even have time to go back to the prince's palace, but rushed to the princess's palace. Was he afraid that she would have no one to support her?
"You've lost weight, and your beard has grown so long." Xie Zhuoning reached out and gently touched his face, his eyes full of heartache.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to talk about.
But this situation is obviously not suitable for expressing one's feelings to each other.
Xiao Jinxuan wrapped Xie Zhuoning's hand in his palm and said to everyone, "She is the one I love!"
After all, she is his woman, and no one is more qualified than him to identify the identities of the two.
Coupled with the clothes on the fakes, a new truth is about to emerge -
"I think it was the fake one who wanted to take advantage of the conflict between Madam Yu and Madam Nankangbo, kill Madam Nankangbo, put the real Madam Yu in jail, and then use her as a substitute to stay by Prince Xuan's side. What a vicious plan!"
"Is she stupid? Her face is the same, but her other words and actions are different. Even if she succeeds in replacing me, will His Royal Highness Prince Xuan not notice it?"
"Tsk tsk, I don't know what she is thinking."
Zhuang Qingyi couldn't stand the gossips all around. She rushed to Xiao Jinxuan like a madman, "Why, Brother Heng, why? Don't you like this face? I have become Xie Zhuoning, why don't you like me?"
On the wedding day, she waited for him in the palace for a long time but he didn't come.
The palace servants said that her brother Heng would rather marry Xie Zhuoning's tablet than marry her. He really loved Xie Zhuoning so much in his life that he was afraid he would never fall in love with anyone else again.
She thought so too, and thought it was a good idea.
Even though Xie Zhuoning had won Brother Heng's heart, she was dead after all.
From now on, the only person who will accompany Brother Heng will be myself.
But she didn't expect that after Xie Zhuoning left, Yu Qingning came.
When she saw that Brother Heng also doted on that girl named Yu Qingning, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
It turns out that he doesn't like Xie Zhuoning. It turns out that he would like anyone with that face?
She was going crazy and went everywhere to seek medical advice and finally found a way to change her appearance.
The process was very arduous. She seemed to have died many times, experiencing the pain of near-death over and over again, and finally got this face.
But why, he still doesn't like himself, why? !
From the moment he called him "Brother Heng", Xiao Jinxuan recognized the identity of the person in front of him.
He never imagined that the sickly kid from his childhood would one day grow up to be the ferocious looking one he is now.
"Qingyi," he said in a low voice, unable to explain his emotions, "Love is the most difficult thing to explain. It's not like you plant a tree and spend time and energy watering it, and then it will definitely bloom and bear fruit."
He believed that he had never crossed the line or made any hints towards her, and he also told her clearly that he had no romantic feelings for her.
She was too obsessed and hurt herself and others.
Zhuang Qingyi collapsed on the ground and broke down crying, "But I have liked you for so many years, I have liked you for so many years..."
It seemed that liking him had become an indispensable habit in her life. Without him, what was the meaning of her living?
Princess Jing'an saw that the situation was irreversible, so she immediately covered her lips with her hands, revealing a look of surprise, "Qingyi, it turned out to be you, child, why did you do this?"
Zhuang Qingyi did not answer. She looked devastated, as if she had lost her soul, and even her eyes became empty.
When Eunuch Jin saw the truth, he immediately ordered Zhuang Qingyi to be escorted back to the palace and handed over to the Empress for punishment.
This farce has finally come to an end.
Xiao Jinxuan still had to go to the palace to report to the Crown Prince, so he said goodbye to Princess Jing'an and asked someone to send Xie Zhuoning back to Prince Xuan's Palace first.
Princess Jing'an watched them leave with a smile. As soon as they walked out the door, her narrow eyes with gold powder and eyeliner were instantly filled with a chill.
"She is Xie Zhuoning." She said firmly.
Duke Zhao limped over to her side with his cane, "If she is Xie Zhuoning, then it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Once revealed, not only the Xie family but also Prince Xuan’s Mansion will be affected.
Princess Jing'an fiddled with her armor gently. "I don't want to drag Xuan'er into this, but if he insists on blocking my way, then it's not my fault."
Yu Qingning is Xie Zhuoning's business. I guess the prince in the palace should be very interested in it, right?
…
Inside Prince Xuan’s Palace.
After Xie Zhuoning returned from Princess Jing'an's residence, she immediately asked people to prepare hot water and clean clothes. She also asked Xia Ju to get perilla from the Marquis Zhenyang's residence and cooked a table of delicious dishes.
But after waiting for a long time, it was not until dark at night that Xiao Jinxuan finally returned to the mansion.
She immediately stepped forward and took off his armor. "Why did you come back so late? Did Xiao Bicheng make things difficult for you?"
Xiao Jinxuan shook his head wearily, "I did nothing wrong. He couldn't embarrass me. The reason I came back late was because Zhuang Qingyi committed suicide."
When the Empress Dowager heard the bad news, she fainted.
After waking up, he beat his feet and chest, feeling extremely regretful.
She said that if she hadn't been so careless, perhaps Zhuang Qingyi wouldn't have fallen in love with him and been obsessed with him for so many years.
Xie Zhuoning held his hand, knowing that he must be feeling guilty. "Xiao Jinxuan, don't take all the blame on yourself. You have done everything you can, and the rest is none of your business. If a person can get whatever he wants, then how can there be regrets in this world?"
Zhuang Qingyi was too obsessed and put all her heart on him.
But if he has to respond because of her obsession, that is not emotion, that is only sympathy.
Xiao Jinxuan was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I saw my mother's corpse. She was sealed in an ice coffin with the pearl of immortality in her mouth. She didn't look like she was dead, but just asleep. After seeing her, many memories of her suddenly popped up in my mind."
"The way she played with me, the way she always had a worried look on her face, and the way she repeatedly warned me not to approach women casually if I wasn't sure I was devoted to them."
He was very young at that time and could not remember many things, but he clearly remembered his mother's warning not to touch women casually.
Because my mother said that a man's love is the beginning of a woman's unfaithfulness.
So he kept his distance from women for all these years, but he never expected that he would end up hurting one.
Only then did Xie Zhuoning realize that there was actually such a story behind Xiao Jinxuan's refusal to let women get close to him.
It sounds like his mother must be a person with a lot of stories. No one knows what she went through in her life.
"Xiao Jinxuan, didn't you go to investigate the truth behind your mother's death? Did you find out anything?"
