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

Jiang Xue felt both angry and amused, but she had to keep calm in front of the eunuch chief.

Repeatedly rejecting Emperor Beiling would hurt his reputation and would not benefit her. Anyway, it was just a birthday party. He had his tricks and she naturally had her countermeasures. It all depended on who could outsmart whom.

"I understand, Changle. I'll go to Fengchang Mansion to handle it now. Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."

Jiang Xue bowed and said goodbye to the chief eunuch.

"Princess, Emperor Beiling is a man of deep thoughts. We have to be more careful." After the steward left, Xiaochun leaned close to Jiang Xue's ear and whispered a reminder.

"Don't worry, I know it well." Jiang Xue smiled confidently and took the lead in the direction of Fengchang Mansion.

"Oh, what an eye-catching little beauty!" Ruth passed by the Imperial Garden on her way to Fengchang Mansion, and there was a strange man sitting in the pavilion in the garden.

This guy is not tall, has dark skin, is average-looking, and has an evil aura between his brows. His style is a bit similar to Xiao Li's, but he lacks that noble temperament.

His eyes had never left Jiang Xue since the moment she stepped into the garden. His gaze boldly slid from her eyebrows to her chest, then to her slender waist, and finally to the swaying hem of her skirt.

He licked his lips with a lustful look on his face.

"Beauty, can you tell me your name?" Jiang Xue frowned slightly as she looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her.

This is too rude and disrespectful!

Fudong and Xiaochun immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the man: "Sir, men and women should not touch each other, please respect yourself."

"Self-respect and self-love? This prince just asked for my name, why are you so nervous?" The man smiled arrogantly and pushed the two girls away with a wave of his hand.

There were many rules in the palace, so Fudong and Xiaochun couldn't take action, and they were pushed so hard that they almost fell. The man was quite strong, and even if they confronted him head-on, the two girls would not be able to deal with him together.

He approached Jiang Xue step by step and reached out to grab her hand.

Jiang Xue was as steady as a mountain, her fingertips were ready with golden needles, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, ready to fight back at any time.

"What is the Prince of Beixi doing?" The man's wrist was suddenly firmly grasped by a big hand, and he could not move.

The faint scent of dragon sandalwood drifted past the tip of her nose, and Jiang Xue's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

"Your Highness Prince Gong." Looking up, Xiao Zhan's handsome chin line came into view. He stood behind her, his left hand gently around her left arm, half-embracing her in his arms, his right hand tightly controlling the man.

She didn't let him get any closer. His warm body temperature was transmitted to her back through his clothes, making Jiang Xue feel inexplicably at ease.

The person in front of him was the crown prince of Beixi who was deposed not long ago.

Since entering the palace in the morning, Xiao Zhan has sent people to keep an eye on the deposed prince. It is said that the Beiling Emperor has become very close to him recently, and they have secret talks with him every now and then, and the talks last all day long.

"Xiao Zhan, let me go!" Although Xiao Zhan looks thin, he is very strong.

The Prince of Beixi tried his best to break free from the restraints, but it was in vain. The more he struggled, the stronger Xiao Zhan's grip became, almost breaking his wrist!

After a stalemate for a while, Xiao Zhan relaxed slightly and let go of his hand.

The Prince of Beixi was already leaning backwards, and when he let go of his hand, he fell backwards. Fortunately, the servants beside him were quick to catch him, otherwise he would have fallen in an ignominious way.

"Hmph, what's the matter? This beauty belongs to His Royal Highness Prince Gong?"

Prince Beixi sneered, pushed the attendant away, and shook off his pinched hand. He couldn't hide the fierceness between his brows, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Zhan's hand holding Jiang Xue.

Faced with this question, the two exchanged glances.

Jiang Xue signaled to Xiao Zhan to let go with her eyes, but Xiao Zhan curled his lips and pretended not to see it. Instead, he hugged her tighter and his hand slid from her arm to her slender waist.

Jiang Xue was suddenly pulled and pressed against Xiao Zhan's arms. His warm body temperature surrounded her, and her face suddenly turned red! She could clearly hear her heartbeat speeding up by more than twice!

"Since Prince Beixi understands that she is my king's son, don't let me see you having any inappropriate thoughts about her again."

As soon as he saw this man's ill intentions towards Jiang Xue, Xiao Zhan's anger suddenly surged up, and before his brain could react, his body had already taken the lead.

His people?

These words made Jiang Xue's already accelerating heartbeat suddenly stop for a beat, but she soon realized that Xiao Zhan was doing this to protect her.

My uncle had long heard that this Prince of Beixi was an extremely paranoid master, and he had to get his hands on whatever he was eyeing.

It would definitely be a big trouble if such a person got involved with me.

If you just tell him that she is a hostage princess with no backer, it will be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and being slaughtered by others. But if the famous flower has an owner, the situation is different.

Although Xiao Zhan was not Prince Beiling's darling, he was still a prince with upright roots. Beixi, an abandoned prince, would not dare to attack Prince Beiling's woman no matter how hesitant he was.

"Hey, there was a misunderstanding just now. If I had known that this girl was His Royal Highness Prince Gong's confidant, I would have treated her as a distinguished guest."

Jiang Xue sneered in her heart, thinking that if she didn't have a master, he would take action against her?

"Your Highness Prince Gong, is this the deposed prince of Beixi?"

She deliberately made the word "deposed" particularly clear, directly hitting the sore spot of the Prince of Beixi.

Xiao Zhan laughed secretly, this girl really didn't suffer.

Knowing that the most taboo thing for Prince Bei Xi was to be deposed, he still chose to make it clear.

The Prince of Beixi's face twitched, and his eyes showed a bit more dissatisfaction with Jiang Xue, but for Xiao Zhan's face, he could only endure it.

"That's right, the legendary Crown Prince." Xiao Zhan echoed and added another stab.

He turned a blind eye to the deposed crown prince's distorted expression.

"What a surprise. I thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would be gentle and elegant due to the influence of the north-western culture. But when I saw him today, my imagination was subverted."

The implication is that the deposed prince is rude and vulgar.

"Haha, the girl is really good at joking. His Highness Prince Gong is interested in her. She really doesn't take the usual path."

The deposed prince's words made him feel sour in his teeth. How dare a prince's bedmate dare to sneer at him!

"I still have an appointment with you. I'm still waiting with Emperor Beiling. Let's take the first step."

He was so angry that he had no place to vent it. Although Xiao Zhan did not please his father, he was still a prince after all. He did not dare to break up with him in public!

He made note of this matter, and when the chance comes, he will make sure to teach this woman a lesson!

Xiao Zhan nodded and smiled, watching him go away.

"Your Highness, everyone has gone far away. You can let go now."

This is the first time Jiang Xue calls herself "I" in front of Xiao Zhan. Unknowingly, her guard against him has become much lighter.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Zhan apologized, but his hands were still reluctant to leave Jiang Xue's soft waist.

The curves were just right, and holding her, the joy in his heart seemed to dispel all his worries. He enjoyed this rare peace and was not willing to let go easily. He secretly thought, how nice it would be if he could hold her like this for the rest of his life.

Even though Xiao Zhan is known as a playboy in Beiling, that is just his protective color.
