Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 182 Challenging the Royal Family
Beixi, that is a famous beauty's nest, with the nickname of "soft jade and warm fragrance". How can we not feel itchy when we meet our lustful Emperor Beiling?
"A king with a different surname, humph, this deposed prince does have a very unique imagination."
Selling out one's country for personal gain, such a person can even abandon his own country, what else can't he do?
"Not only that, he also wants to marry the princess of Beiling to consolidate the alliance between the two countries."
Marquis Zhenbei has lived for most of his life, but this is the first time he has seen such a shameless person. Today he has broadened his horizons.
Why would a fallen foreign prince want our Beiling’s golden branches and jade leaves?
"Listening to what my uncle said, I think that Emperor Beixi must have seen that the prince was not worthy enough, so he replaced him with the second prince."
"This abandoned prince is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people." Lu Linyi also sighed.
Marquis Zhenbei smiled bitterly: "It is such an unreasonable master who actually convinced the emperor to conspire with him. The emperor's thoughts are really unpredictable."
It was obvious that this person was not trustworthy, but Emperor Beiling was determined to cooperate, which made the courtiers anxious.
Emperor Beiling was no fool. His dragon chair was fought out in a bloody storm.
In terms of wisdom and courage, he lacked everything. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to insist on promoting a person who is disliked by everyone regardless of the opposition of ministers.
There must be something fishy going on here that they are not aware of.
Jiang Xue thought about it carefully and slowly came up with some ideas.
"Uncle, has the Emperor mentioned anything else to you? For example, my cousin's marriage?"
I still remember that on the day of the welcome banquet, Emperor Beiling intended to bring Lu Linyi and Xiao Yan together.
If she hadn't mentioned observing mourning, Lu Linyi would probably have become Princess Duan by now.
But she didn't believe that Emperor Beiling would give up his plan against Lu Linyi because of this. Controlling her was equivalent to indirectly controlling Marquis Zhenbei, and he would definitely look for another opportunity.
"Lingyi is still mourning, and the emperor will not betroth her for the time being. But for you, the emperor inadvertently asked about your age, your date of birth, and whether you were already engaged."
Zhenbei Hou recalled the look in the eyes of the Beiling Emperor when he asked, just like a hunter locking onto his prey. Could it be that the Emperor was interested in Changle...
no! Don't let this happen!
A scene from more than twenty years ago suddenly flashed back in Zhenbeihou's mind, and he couldn't help but feel frightened! At that time, the newly enthroned Emperor Beiling also asked him about the death of Gu Ruoxin, his tragic sister Jiang Xue and the Queen in such circumstantial ways!
"How did my uncle respond at that time?" Jiang Xue secretly mocked this lustful monarch in her heart. She was almost the same age as those princes, but this tyrant even dared to set his sights on his own niece!
"I said you were not engaged yet, and as for your birth date, I said I didn't know and fooled you."
"That's okay." Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Fortunately, the most critical information was not leaked.
"Changle, I heard that the emperor asked you to enter the palace tomorrow. Be careful. I have a bad feeling."
His right eye was twitching violently, and the uneasiness in Zhenbei Hou's heart was difficult to calm down.
The next day, in order to enter the palace, Jiang Xue got up and washed before dawn, had a quick breakfast, and went to the palace with her maids Xiaochun and Fudong.
"This guy Zhou Lang has been very mysterious lately. He's always missing." Fu Dong muttered in a low voice. Even if he met by chance, he would always be in a hurry.
"Oh? Miss him?" Jiang Xue teased.
"What are you talking about, Princess? I'm just worried that he will get into trouble again and cause you worry." Fu Dong was telling the truth. Zhou Lang's temper was indeed out of place in this treacherous Yujing City.
"Maybe he found some clues related to the emperor brother. He found some clues a few days ago and was very excited. He specifically reported it to me."
Zhou Lang has always been cautious in doing things, especially when it comes to matters involving his royal brother, he is even more concerned. This is why Jiang Xue trusts him and allows him to act freely.
"So that's it." Fu Dong nodded and said no more.
Arriving at the door of the imperial study room, before the official announcement, a deafening roar could be heard inside.
"This is outrageous!" Emperor Beiling angrily smashed the teacup. "How dare Prajna Square be so arrogant! Throwing a head in front of the Royal Heir's Palace! This is a blatant provocation to the court! Good! Since they are eager to die, I will grant their wish!"
"Princess Changle, please wait a moment. The emperor is very angry. If you go in now, you will be in trouble." The eunuch in charge carefully poked his head in to take a look, then retracted it and whispered to Jiang Xue.
At this juncture, how could he dare to hit the gun? If he offended the emperor, his life would be in danger.
Jiang Xue pretended to be ignorant and asked the father-in-law in charge: "Eunuch, do you know why the emperor is so angry?" In fact, she was very clear-minded. Along the way, she heard the neighbors talking about the six bloody heads in front of the palace. This matter is already big news that everyone knows about in Yujing City.
"Oh, princess, you don't know yet? Early this morning, six human heads were neatly placed at the door of Prince Li's house. They were bloody and terrifying! There was a Prajna-fang knife stuck in one of them. I heard that the knife The sharp point penetrated his forehead and split his head in half! These people in the world are so cruel!" The steward shook his head as he spoke. Seeing that Jiang Xue didn't stop him, he started talking: "Prince Li has been doing this for a long time. I went to the palace to report, and when the emperor heard it, he was so angry!"
Jiang Xue pretended to be surprised: "I never thought that Prajnafang would be so bold as to openly challenge the royal family in the capital."
"Isn't that right? The emperor has no good opinion of these Jianghu sects, and now he has to uproot them."
Just as the eunuch in charge was talking nonstop, the chief eunuch coughed and interrupted him, and the eunuch immediately shut up. The chief eunuch glared at his subordinate, motioned him to leave, then turned to Jiang Xue and saluted: "Princess Changle, the emperor invites you in."
Entering the imperial study, Jiang Xue saw Xiao Li and Xiao Zhan kneeling on the ground.
"Send an order! Let's put the matter of Shuoyuemen aside for now. All of Prince Gong's men should support Prince Li. Give Prajna Square a good lesson and let them know the consequences of going against the Beiling court!"
"Your sons obey your orders!" Xiao Zhan and Xiao Li said in unison, respectfully accepting the orders.
As a result, Shuoyuemen was temporarily safe, and Nangongyue was freer to act. Since Prajnafang was targeted by the imperial court, they would not be able to trouble Yu Prajna in the short term. Everyone that Jiang Xue cared about could breathe a sigh of relief.
But His Royal Highness Prince Li has a lot of time to spare. He has to clean up the mess left by Wang Changqing and lead the troops to deal with Prajnafang.
"Changle pays respect to His Majesty." Jiang Xue bowed and stood between the two. Xiao Li glared at her. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to get rid of this woman right now! Don't think he doesn't know that those six heads were her doing!
Those people were carefully selected by him and sent from the Anguo Marquis Mansion to humiliate Jiang Xue. He thought it was foolproof and was looking forward to the news of Jiang Xue being humiliated. But in the end, what he waited for was the heads of his own people!
