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

After Lu Qiong left, Jiang Xue and Jing Ye were left speechless.

Jiang Xue stood outside the door of the private room for a long time, then sighed helplessly and said to Mo Lian and Mo Tian behind her: "You two are guarding the door. Don't let anyone get close to you."

When Mo Lian and Mo Tian saw their master in the room, they felt a little more cautious. They nodded respectfully to Jiang Xue and said, "Your Highness, don't worry."

Jiang Xue closed the door and walked straight to the round stool next to the table in the room and sat down.

She lowered her head and saw several plates of pastries on the table, including flavored ginger custard cake. She couldn't help but be stunned.

Originally, she didn't want Jing Ye to know about Su Xi's mother and son because she was afraid that he would have other plans and cause trouble.

Now that she was going to Jiaodong with Jing Ye, she had to find a way to take care of Su Xi and her son. There is no need to hide the matter now, but...

She is now 99% sure of Jing Ye's identity.

Then speaking to him about this matter made her feel a little...restrained.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to know anything, just ask me."

Jing Ye walked up to her and sat down, and said calmly: "I have given you enough elite dead soldiers as per your request, so the princess should let me know about their removal."

Jiang Xue said slowly: "Well, the guards brought by the palace cannot do this for me, for fear that they will be exposed if they become familiar. I asked them to act for me."

Jing Ye softly said "hmm" and motioned for her to continue.

Jiang Xue sighed and said: "It's a long story. It's a self-inflicted wound. I'm not afraid of embarrassment, and I hope the prince won't laugh when he hears it."

"Gu Lintan, my consort, before marrying me, there was... probably his first wife, named Su Xi. They have a son, who is already three years old."

After saying that, Jiang Xue raised her eyes, trying to read some emotions from Jing Ye's eyes.

But I saw that his eyes were still as deep as a pool of water, without any ripples, and he just sat quietly.

"When did the princess learn about this?"

Jiang Xue smiled faintly and said, "Wedding night."

Jing Ye was a little surprised, "You knew it at the time, but you could still bear this tone?"

Jiang Xue smiled softly, but she really couldn't bear what ordinary people couldn't bear.

On the wedding night, not only did she find out about this, but she was also almost killed by a sword because of her impulsive move.

Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for that unfounded foreboding dream, given her temperament, when she found out that Gu Lintan and Su Xi were entangled on the night of their wedding, she would have thought that Gu Lintan was deceiving the emperor and neglecting to support his wife. Or was it? It's hard to say whether he could kill her with one sword or slowly torture Gu Lintan to death.

It was also that dream that told her that Gu Lintan was a ruthless person and that Su Xi's existence was not as simple as an outside room.

Gu Lintan would rather risk his life to kill her so that she would never have the chance to speak, either because he really cherished Su Xi too much, or because Jiang Xue, who knew the truth, no longer trusted him, It has no use value to him, and may even block the implementation of some of his plans.

What kind of plot can Gu Lintan have that is even more serious than the life of a princess? Even if he succeeds, if the crime of killing the princess is exposed at all, it will be a disaster for the nine clans - not to mention that she is the only daughter of the emperor, and no one in the world does not know how much she is loved.

unless......

Unless his plan comes true, the status of the royal family will no longer be important.

It should be said that perhaps behind this conspiracy, the royal family was originally the target of his sword.

Seeing Jiang Xue was silent for a long time, Jing Ye suddenly asked: "Is it because you know this that you don't want to get close to him?"

Jiang Xue was stunned when she heard this and said: "What?"

Jing Ye sneered and said, "I was originally thinking about why the princess avoided her husband-in-law like a snake or a scorpion. After being married for many days, not to mention consummating the marriage, even the number of times we ate together was very few."

"Originally I thought it was Princess Changle who couldn't remember her old love," Jing Ye suddenly looked at her with sharp eyes and said, "Only then could the prince-in-law ignore this jade tree Linfeng with disdain. It seems that it was because of Xiao Qi, so many Think about it."

Jiang Xue looked back at Jing Ye's scrutinizing eyes and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

There are some things that have to be said.

"If I hadn't discovered this, I might have become a loving couple with Gu Lintan."

A hint of anger flashed in Jing Ye's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and said, "If the princess really likes this talented and handsome prince-in-law, I will have to help you."

"But that was before. Now, I don't want to."

With a stubborn look on her face, Jiang Xue said, "I have to admit that I have feelings for Xiao Qi. Even if I thought he was the one who harmed the emperor brother, I still have feelings for him."

"But it doesn't matter if there is love. All I saw at the time was the conclusive evidence that he and Wang An were collaborating inside and outside to use me to harm my family. Even if there is love, I should kill my enemy to avenge my brother."

"I thought at that time that my relationship with him and my feelings for him were just his plans."

"Could it be that just because I once made a mistake in my heart, I should keep my love for him for the rest of my life, sit in this world, unmarried and unworthy, and die alone?"

Jiang Xue asked questions, as if she was asking Jing Ye, but also as if she was asking herself.

"I also have my own parents and relatives, and I also have responsibilities that I should shoulder. I can also live the rest of my life well, right?"

"I chose Gu Lintan because he is indeed a desirable son-in-law, because he is favored by his father, the emperor, and his mother, and because although he comes from a poor family, he has been able to study hard for several years, and he is very talented and promising in the future. He can become a pillar of the Great Hebei Province. If I marry him, I will not only have a lifelong support for myself, but also be able to reassure my parents. At the bottom, I can encourage the poor students and let the world know that the Great Hebei royal family not only values ​​the rich families, but also respects the poor students. Treat everyone equally and respond with hope."

"Could it be that just because the prince said, 'Old love will never be forgotten', that I can abandon myself, my parents and even the country of Hebei?"

Amidst Jiang Xue's questioning, Jing Ye didn't know when he got up and walked to the window. He looked at the moonlight outside the window, his eyes getting darker and darker.

Jiang Xue seemed to have vented her sorrow and anger in one breath, and then became much calmer.

"But that was before," she said slowly. "I didn't know Xiao Qi's life experience at that time. I didn't know that the case three years ago was full of doubts. I didn't know that I might have wrongly blamed him."

"If there hadn't been so many misunderstandings, I wouldn't have chosen Gu Lintan."

"Now that this matter has been made known to me, how can I do it, burdened with the guilt of wrongly blaming Xiao Qi, carrying the sin of unjustly killing Xiao Qi, and continue to have the dream of harmonizing with others for the rest of my life?"

"Jiang Xue is not a cold-hearted or ungrateful person," she said. "Gu Lintan is being kept here because the things behind him have not been found out. When things come to light, I will know -"

"Go to Xiao Qi and apologize."
