Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

When Jiang Xue woke up, the morning light had already poured into the house, illuminating the hazy curtains, making it particularly soft.

She was awakened by the chirping of birds in the courtyard. When she opened her eyes slightly, she felt extremely dizzy.

She reached out her hand to rub her swollen forehead, but found that her hand was bound by something and she couldn't move for a while.

Jiang Xue lowered her eyes and looked to her side, and was horrified to find someone lying on the bed - her left wrist was held tightly by him.

The memories of last night flooded into my mind.

Jing Ye...he hasn't left yet? Did he really sleep next to her all night? !

Jiang Xue couldn't remember what happened when she finally fell asleep last night.

She stretched out her right hand to open Jing Ye's palm, and her movement woke up the people around her.

Jing Ye opened his eyes, looking back at Jiang Xue lightly with a bit of laziness as if he had just woken up.

Only then did Jiang Xue notice that the mask she had taken off last night had been put on by him again at some unknown time.

"Why are you still here?" Jiang Xue asked subconsciously.

"The princess fainted in her arms last night," Jing Ye's voice remained calm and emotionless, "Does that mean I left you alone and ignored me?"

Faint?

Jiang Xue frowned and then slowly remembered.

She immediately stared at Jing Ye with sharp eyes.

"Don't look at Gu like this," Jing Ye said, "Gu said that Gu is not Xiao Qi. Stop looking for these unfounded doubts about Gu. The princess has also looked at Gu's face carefully, but she can see that she is not easy. Traces of Rong?”

"Xiao Qi is dead," he looked away, looked at the curtain, and said slowly, "died three years ago. People who die will not be resurrected."

Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment, then said without giving up: "But you haven't answered my question last night."

Jing Yefu turned his head to look at her again, and suddenly burst into laughter after a while.

"Isn't it strange?" he said, "The princess is of use to Gu. Helping the princess is equivalent to helping Gu himself."

"You said something similar, but the reason is very far-fetched," Jiang Xue said, "Would you do this to other people? You have countless officials, soldiers, dead soldiers, and guards under you. Are these people useless to you?"

"You will be so dedicated to them? Let's not talk about other things, just talk about the feather guard next to you. Will you easily let them use the feather guard?"

"Then I wonder what reason the princess wants to hear?" Jing Ye said with a smile in his eyes: "If you really need a reason to convince yourself that Xiao Qi is dead - you can take the princess to his grave to have a look. The tomb is in Qingzhou, and the bones are buried under the loess. If necessary, I can have someone dig it up so that the princess can see it with her own eyes."

Jiang Xue did not listen to the words and only continued: "You didn't answer my words."

"Princess is so stubborn," Jing Ye suddenly let go of his hand holding her wrist, turned over and sat up, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, "It's so stubborn that it's hard to understand."

He took out the jade plaque from his arms, put it on the small table beside the bed, and said, "Wouldn't it be better for you and me to each take what we need? Why do we have to break the casserole and ask the truth?"

"What's the use of dwelling on the past and digging into a dead person?" Jing Ye walked to the table in the middle of the room and sat down, reaching out to pour a cup of already cold tea. He slept in his clothes last night, but now his clothes were still clean and neat.

Jiang Xue sat up and said, "You can't answer, is it because you can't give a reasonable reason, or because you don't dare to admit it?"

"What are you afraid of admitting?" Jing Ye glanced back at her and said lightly: "I'm not Xiao Qi, so naturally I don't want to recognize this inexplicable title."

Jiang Xuedao: "If you can't convince me today, I can only acquiesce -"

"Gu advises you to stop thinking like this," Jing Ye sneered and said, "Gu is not a substitute for you to make up for your guilt."

"Xiao Qi is dead. If things are found out in the future and it is confirmed that he was framed, your guilt, regret, and pain-"

Jing Ye's tone became more harsh: "You will never be able to repay me in this life."

Jiang Xue just kept looking at him with complicated eyes and did not reply.

There was a long silence and stillness in the room.

"I know." Jiang Xue suddenly said, "If you say it's not, then it's not."

"As for how I will regret Xiao Qi in the future, I don't know why the prince is so persistent in pursuing this matter." She laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "But the prince always has his reasons."

"Since the prince can't tell you why he is so kind to me, you might as well let me guess."

"So you gave me a feather guard, taught me Qinggong, and gave me hidden weapons to protect me, is it because you like me?" She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the people in the room with firm eyes.

Jing Ye's fingers holding the teacup suddenly tightened.

After a moment, he suddenly laughed.

"Does the princess attract every man's attention and throw herself into her arms like this?" He asked, "I heard that the consort was aloof before getting married. Is this the way the princess used to get him under her skirt?"

Jiang Xue's eyes were firm and she said: "I don't treat every man like this. I just want to ask the prince, yes or no?"

"So what?" Jing Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that the princess still wants to wait until she is reconciled before forming a marriage alliance with Gu?"

A stiff smile broke out on Jiang Xue's face and she said, "Okay, I understand."

"Please, Your Majesty, go sit in the main room behind the screen for a while while I change my clothes."

Her tone was light, not like the timid joy of an ordinary woman after her feelings were revealed.

Jing Ye didn't comment, just got up and walked out.

Jiang Xue sat on the bed, tears falling from her eyes for a moment.

She knew that she would not have such an inexplicable sense of trust in a stranger for no reason.

If Gu Lintan wanted to sleep with her last night, she would not have felt disgust in her heart.

He said that he was not Xiao Qi and that Xiao Qi was dead.

For some reason, hope suddenly rose in her heart.

From that day it was learned that Li Congde, who attacked Jiang Chen, was related to people in the court, from that day he learned that King An and Xiao Qi were not biological father and son, and their relationship was better than that of enemies.

She had told herself countless times that she would never make a mistake, hate the wrong person, or avenge the wrong person.

But all this fell apart in the murmur of "Axue".

She thought that maybe her heart had begun to believe it.

I believed that Xiao Qi was wronged and that I had done something wrong.

She reached up to wipe away the tears on her face, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and told herself.

It doesn't matter, Gan Ning will be back soon, and she will soon know whether there is anything wrong with Feng Song, the advising doctor who retired early.

It doesn't matter, soon all these mysteries will be solved. Soon, she will be able to follow the clues and find the person who conspired with King An to poison the eldest brother.

It doesn't matter - she opened her eyes and looked outside the screen, it doesn't matter, maybe Xiao Qi is still there.

Grandpa He used to love these children so much. Maybe the medicine was tampered with and not fatal?

Grandpa He, Grandpa He!

Suddenly, as if she had found a life-saving straw, her tears turned into laughter.

Jiang Xue quickly stood up and put on her clothes. She went outside and asked Jing Ye, "Are you free today?"

Jing Ye leaned on the main seat and said lazily, "It depends on what the princess is going to do."

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Then you wait a moment. After I finish dressing, you accompany me to meet someone."

"Who?"

"He Zhilin, the grandson of Zheng Heyuan from the former hospital."

Jing Ye's eyes darkened and he said in a deep voice, "The princess knows quite a few men in the community."

"Why do you want Gu Gu to go with you?"

"He Yuan was the only imperial physician who diagnosed the Great Emperor's brother's poison back then," Jiang Xue looked at him with firm eyes and said, "If according to what you and I think, what happened back then and what is happening now are the work of one person, then The He family may be the only ones who know the origin of this strange poison."

"Okay." Jing Ye replied simply.

Jiang Xue nodded and was about to turn back to the back room to dress up when she saw Jing Ye suddenly stood up and walked to the door, stretched out his big hand and pushed the door open.

Jiang Xue was about to speak out to stop him but it was too late. She stood there blankly and looked outside the house.

Fudong, Xiaochun, and several guards on patrol all stood frozen in place with their eyes wide open.

"You can see clearly," Jing Ye said with a smile, "The one who came out of her room was Gu."
