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

After Jiang Xue and Chen Xiu finished their instructions, they returned to the Gu Mansion with Lu Qiong Shuang.

The two of them had just fallen off the courtyard wall when they saw Fu Dong standing blankly in the courtyard. Jiang Xue was wondering when Fu Dong raised his head and spotted them, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to her:

"Your Highness, a few people came to the courtyard just now. They said they were sent by their Lord to serve Your Highness."

"Where's the person?" Jiang Xue didn't seem surprised. She just walked towards her residence and asked calmly, "Why am I seeing only you, where is Xiaochun?"

"We are thinking of waiting for His Highness to come back to deal with it. Sister Xiaochun said that there are many strange faces standing in the yard, which is a bit eye-catching. We have just invited everyone to the side room to settle them."

Jiang Xue nodded and said: "You go and get a basin of water first to freshen up my cousin and I. I'll have Xiaochun call people to my main room later, and I'll change my clothes and come out to see them. By the way, come on. How many people are there?”

Fudong clapped his fingers and said, "There are eight people, two of them are women. Looking at their attire, they look a bit like..."

Jiang Xue asked: "What does it look like?"

"Like those people who His Highness sent the carriages and horses from the palace to the east of Hedong to pick up Gu's mother-in-law that day."

Jiang Xue chuckled lightly and said: "Stop guessing, hurry up and get ready to wash up for me. Let Xiaochun take care of the rest of them."

Eight people, but I didn't expect that Jing Ye would send so many at once.

Originally, she was thinking that after Banban sent the letter, she would be able to see Jing Ye when she returned to Wen Qingxuan, but then she realized that he didn't come, and only the man she brought was sent. She thought that he really had something to do.

Originally, when envoys from foreign countries came to visit, the banquets and banquets arranged by the Ministry of Rites would be quite generous. I thought that he had been staying with me almost every day in the past few days, and sometimes even came on call. I don’t know who was entrusted to deal with all this. .

Jiang Xue sighed. Now that he was in a high position, he no longer had many constraints when he wanted to do things.

After all, life is more comfortable than that time.

Fu Dong nodded wisely, opened the door for Jiang Xue and left quickly.

The two of them put on their original clothes. Fu Dong fetched water and washed Jiang Xuezai's face carefully several times before undoing her bun and combing it again.

Fu Dong asked carefully while combing his hair: "Your Highness and your cousin went out dressed like this. I guess no one recognized them, right?"

Before Jiang Xue answered, Lu Qiongshuang laughed and said: "How can it be possible? Not to mention that not many people have met my cousin, not to mention that the place we went to is also the residence of ordinary people. In addition, superior--"

She came close to Jiang Xue, blinked and looked at her with big eyes full of admiration, and said:

"Cousin, when did you become so easy to trick people? When I look at your miserable expression, you really are a lonely woman who has traveled thousands of miles to find her relatives."

Jiang Xue stretched out a green finger and pushed her forehead away, saying: "To put it bluntly, the common people regard the government as a wolf, and these high-ranking officials and dignitaries even more. If they go to inquire seriously, I'm afraid they will be even more afraid. What's more, I won't even say a word to you."

Lu Qiongshuang nodded and said: "That's the truth. I used to wander outside and was very annoyed by these powerful people. But why did my cousin ask the owner of the noodle stall to let him see the yard? Someone wants to help question my cousin?"

"The old man the noodle stall owner mentioned must be Huang Fu." Jiang Xue said calmly.

"Butler Huang?" Fu Dong's hand combing his hair paused and said, "This is the Butler Huang who has been with our consort for many years in our house?"

Jiang Xue nodded and said: "Exactly."

After Lu Qiong thought twice, she still tilted her head and asked her question.

"I just heard my cousin mention Su Xi, and I guessed in my mind - that courtyard is where my cousin's husband, oh no, Mr. Gu's first wife, stayed. But since my cousin found it, why didn't she take a pre-emptive strike and take her away directly? Next, if it is revealed in front of the Holy Emperor and the empress, won't this marriage that bothers my cousin be annulled? Why let the boss ask Huang Fu about those few words? Wouldn't that be more of a warning? Isn't my cousin afraid? , the prince-in-law will take the person away, and then he will die without any evidence, and he will quarrel with you later?"

"Tearing each other down?" Jiang Xue said with a smile, "What a reckless man said. No matter what the situation is, as long as I am Princess Changle, he will never break up with me openly."

Of course, he wouldn't be able to break up, but telling a dead person to shut up forever would be something he would really do in a desperate situation.

Jiang Xue's eyes suddenly turned cold as she thought of the unfounded yet extremely real dream on her wedding night.

"I asked Huang Fu to know, just to let him know."

"Let him know that Su Xi's mother and son's hiding place has been discovered. As for the person who discovered it—" Jiang Xue smiled and said, "That's not just me."

Lu Qiongshuang was confused and said, "He found out, isn't it..."

"Qiong Shuang, go and help me with something." Jiang Xue interrupted Lu Qiong Shuang and said, "You go with Fu Dong. You have been bored for a long time after returning to Beijing. Take her out for a walk. What's the matter? If you want to eat or have fun, just ask Fu Dong to pay the bill. You have been used to crawling around in the capital since you were a child, so you can go find me a quieter restaurant and book a private room for me."

"There should be fewer people coming and going, and the surroundings should be clean," Jiang Xue reminded, "I have something important to discuss with Jing Ye and He Zhilin tonight."

Lu Qiongshuang understood, patted her chest and said, "I can still handle this little thing."

Fudong also smiled happily and said: "That's great. I usually go out either in a carriage or a sedan chair, and I never have much fun. Thank you, Your Highness!"

Jiang Xue smiled at the two of them and saw that Fu Dong had combed her hair into a bun, so she sent them out.

She stood up and took out the jade plaque given by Jing Ye and pinned it in a conspicuous place on her waist. Suddenly she remembered something and hurriedly took out the waist badge that Chen Xiu had picked up from the clothes she had changed. She walked to the desk and rubbed it a little. Use ink to transfer the waist badge pattern onto the paper.

She put the paper away, took the handkerchief and wiped the badge clean, then got up and walked to the main hall of Wenqingxuan.

Xiaochun had already called a group of people. She smiled at everyone and asked, "I don't know how to address you all?"

Two petite women came out. One of them, a woman in a green shirt, said respectfully: "Servant Mo Lian, by the Lord's order, came here with Mo Tian. From now on, I will accompany Her Royal Highness Princess Changle."

Follow her? When did she ask Jing Ye to assign a maid to accompany her? Jiang Xue frowned and said, "Jing Ye asked you to come and serve me?"

Mo Lian and Mo Tian spoke together, and one of them said: "These are the six feather guards allocated by the Lord. They will be used by Princess Changle these days."

Jiang Xue was a little confused about the arrival of these two people, but she stopped asking questions. She only looked at the other six people, reached out and took off the jade token from her waist, and showed it to everyone.

The people Jing Ye gives may be able to follow her normal orders, but if she wants to do something risky, they still need to know that what she means is also what Jing Ye means.

When everyone saw the jade plaque, they all knelt down on one knee and said, "Princess, please give me your orders!"

Jiang Xue took out the bird-shaped waist badge from her arms and handed it to Mo Lian.

"Excuse me, I'm going to kill someone tonight."
