Chapter 416 (2/2)

Ning Yuxuan suddenly softly asked her, ”Aren't you Ji Man?”

Ji Man was taken aback. ”Why are you asking this?”

”You said that you're Ji Man, not Nie Sangyu.” Ning Yuxuan furrowed his brow and said, ”What business do you have with the deaths of Nie Clan's members then?”

It felt as if her heart had stopped, and even her breath slowed down. Ji Man blankly looked at the person walking in front of her.

It was true that she had always considered herself as only a spectator, She and Nie Sangyu were two different people. She wouldn't confuse one thing for another. Nie Sangyu's feelings belonged to Nie Sangyu, and her own feelings belonged to herself.

But… Why would Nie Sangyu's feelings affect her then? Nie Sangyu's family members had treated her well, so she naturally regarded them as her own family members. The people that Nie Sangyu disliked, she had been influenced by Nie Sangyu to slightly dislike them too. The person that Nie Sangyu liked, she had also been influenced to... slightly like him too.

Wryly laughing, Ji Man closed her eyes and said, ”Because we're the same person.”

Since she had started living in this body, she and Nie Sangyu had become the same person. Nie Sangyu's heartache was her heartache. Her happiness was her happiness too. It seemed... there was no way to carefully differentiate between them.

Ning Yuxuan was stunned. He turned his head to glance at her. ”If you're the same person, then just like her, you...”

”Huh?” Ji Man curiously looked at him.

”Never mind.” Marquis Moyu turned his head back. ”I want to give you a suggestion. Zhao Li… you shouldn't lay your hands on him.”

”What?” Ji Man sneered. ”It can't be that you want me to kill him by scolding him to death, right? He's an unscrupulous lunatic. Would he even care if I curse at him? I want him to be hacked into mincemeat!”

Ning Yuxuan sighed. ”I know that you hate him. After all, he had you witness Nie Clan's members being beheaded. But, he's still Zhangjun Prince's biological brother.”

”Do you know why I choose to join Zhangjun Prince's side?” Ji Man laughed. ”It was because he promised me that if Zhao Li is ever taken down, he would give me the chance to lay my hands on my mortal enemy.”

She was a woman whose family had been ruined. Other than having a mind that was slightly different from other people, she had nothing else. How could it be easy to kill the emperor? By helping Zhao Zhe, she would be able to achieve her wish. Zhao Zhe had even recently said that she had fulfilled her promise to him, so she could go do what she wanted now.

The thing that she wanted the most was for Zhao Li to die a wretched death.

Ning Yuxuan pursed his lips. He wanted to say more, but there was someone in front that was coming over.

The person stumbling towards them was the woman formerly t.i.tled, Kangyuan Junzhu, and the current virtuous consort. Several imperial guards were chasing after her, but she heedlessly ran towards this side. When she saw Marquis Moyu, it was if she had seen her savior, ”Marquis, save me!”

Who was she again?

Ji Man stopped walking. She slightly furrowed her brow as she watched that woman frantically run towards them.
