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

In addition, Jiang Xue had previously rejected Xiao Yan's invitation and also made Emperor Beiling consider marrying her. Lin Wan was filled with hatred and her attitude naturally changed 180 degrees.

Jiang Xue knew what was going on, so she was unusually calm towards Lin Wan's indifference.

Lu Linyi glanced at Lin Wan, then glanced at Xiao Yan who seemed to be smiling beside him. He felt a little frightened and his feet seemed to be rooted to the roots.

The scene froze for a moment, and Lin Wan's face almost fell. What was going on? Her words were no longer effective? How dare a little official lady not give her face?

"Cousin, don't be in a daze, the imperial concubine is calling you." Jiang Xue was sharp-eyed and saw that something was not right, so she quickly gave Lu Linyi a secret signal to prevent Lin Wanqiu from settling the score with her later.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My cousin couldn't sleep last night because she missed my aunt. She was not in a good mood today, so she lost her mind." Jiang Xue took the opportunity to find a way for Lu Linyi to save face, and she also took the opportunity to continue the conversation.

"My mother and Linyi had a deep relationship. She just passed away and Linyi is still in grief. I hope Your Majesty can understand." After saying that, Lu Linyi followed Lin Wan's instructions, walked out from behind Jiang Xue, and took a few steps closer.

"What a pitiful child, he lost his mother at such a young age." After hearing Lu Linyi's words, Lin Wan's originally stern expression finally softened a little. After all, Lu Linyi was just a poor little boy who had just lost his mother.

As a mother herself, Lin Wan could not help but feel some sympathy for Lu Linyi. She took Lu Linyi's hand, patted it gently, and said softly, "Good boy, come to Qiwu Palace often and chat with me in the future."

As she said that, she turned to look at Xiao Yan: "I don't know where you go all day, it's hard to find someone to talk to."

Xiao Yan smiled wittily: "You are joking, mother. As long as my son is fine, I will come to see you every time."

"I think you are just unstable. I have to find a way to tie you down and make you more stable." Lin Wan changed the subject and looked at Lu Linyi, "Linyi, don't you think so?"

When Lu Linyi was asked this question, he was suddenly at a loss and didn't know how to answer.

"This……"

Seeing this, Jiang Xue quickly came to Lu Linyi's rescue: "Madam, my cousin is in mourning. Even if you ask her about this, she won't be able to answer, for fear of ruining your happiness."

Lin Wan sneered disdainfully: "Since Miss Lu is not in a position to speak, let Princess Changle express her opinion."

Jiang Xue, since you want to stand out, I will let you see the consequences of standing out! Lin Wan's question is like a knife on her neck. If she is not careful, the consequences will be disastrous.

Jun Li's heart tightened, and he looked at Jiang Xue worriedly. Why did she say so much? What good would it do for her to annoy Lin Wan?

Lu Linyi was also very nervous and blamed himself for being timid and causing Jiang Xue to be targeted by Lin Wan.

"My queen...I..."

Just as he was about to speak up to help Jiang Xue out, he was interrupted by Jiang Xue: "I wonder what the queen wants to hear Changle say?"

Compared to the nervousness of Lu Linyi and Jun Li, Jiang Xue seemed calm. She met Lin Wan's gaze unhurriedly and asked slowly.

"Oh? Which one specifically?" Lin Wan was stunned by Jiang Xue's question.

"From what Her Majesty said, it seems to mean three things: first, she hopes that my cousin will come to the palace more often to keep her company; second, she wants His Royal Highness Prince Duan to spend more time with you; and third, she hopes that His Royal Highness Prince Duan will get married and start a family soon. Am I understanding correctly?"

Jiang Xue deliberately omitted the most sensitive point - Lin Wan's plan for Lu Linyi. After all, it was impossible to mention Lu Linyi directly while he was in mourning. Lin Wan herself had to go around in circles, so Jiang Xue naturally wouldn't bring it up on her own initiative.

"You are quite clever." Lin Wan's smile was mixed with a hint of coldness. This girl was as slippery as a loach. She knew what she was thinking, but she didn't point it out. It was inconvenient for her to say it directly. It was really infuriating!

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty." Jiang Xue bowed and said slowly, "Among the three, Your Majesty should be most concerned about His Royal Highness Prince Duan's marriage. So I guess this is what Your Majesty is asking about."

Lin Wan remained silent and did not refute, which was considered as her agreement.

Jiang Xue glanced at Xiao Yan who was observing her from the side, pretending to be in a dilemma: "Your Highness Prince Duan is of royal blood and is a person valued by the emperor, so the marriage should naturally be decided by the emperor.

How could Changle have a say? Even if it was the Queen, she should ask His Majesty's opinion first, right? Otherwise, it would be a serious crime of usurpation..."

Lin Wan's smile froze instantly. She didn't expect Jiang Xue to lead the conversation in a direction that was so serious as to transgress the law.

Xiao Yan also found it interesting. Jiang Xue was a woman of extraordinary courage. Her calm temperament and extraordinary conversation made her even more radiant. In comparison, Lu Linyi seemed too weak, while Jiang Xue was truly radiant and charming.

He began to understand why his father was interested in Jiang Xue, and he even wanted to conquer such a generous woman.

If you think about it carefully, she is the niece of Marquis Zhenbei and the eldest princess of Ji State. She has the support of Marquis Zhenbei and 300,000 cavalry of Ji State. This condition is indeed tempting.

"You..." Lin Wan was so angry that she was blocked, but every word Jiang Xue said made sense and she couldn't find any reason to blame her.

"Mother, Princess Changle is right." Xiao Yan's words surprised Lin Wan, and she looked at her son in disbelief.

This guy actually spoke up for Jiang Xue?

Jiang Xue was also surprised. Xiao Yan had always been more contemptuous of her than respectful of her, so why did he stand up and speak for her today?

"Mo Chen, do you know what you are saying?" Lin Wan looked at her son and her face darkened.

This guy had put her in solitary confinement for half a month, and almost stole her limelight by hooking up with the emperor! How could he possibly speak for her?

"Mother, I know what's going on." Xiao Yan whispered a few words in Lin Wan's ear. Lin Wan's expression gradually relaxed, and the look she gave Jiang Xue became much softer.

What kind of magic did Xiao Yan cast to make things so tense just now and now he feels so comfortable?

Jiang Xue sensed the subtle change in the air, and her nerves tensed instantly. Jun Li and Lu Linyi also noticed the change in Lin Wan's attitude, especially Lu Linyi, whose hand, which was originally held by Lin Wan, was slowly let go, and Lin Wan's eyes turned to Jiang Xue.

Although she was timid, she was not stupid. She felt that Lin Wan's gaze was not friendly, and her worry shifted from herself to Jiang Xue. Could it be that they, mother and son, would do anything bad to Changle...

"Mo Chen is right. Princess Changle does have a point." Lin Wan's words made Jiang Xue more alert.

"Changle, I heard that the emperor asked you to go to Fengchang Mansion to register your date of birth?" Lin Wan changed the subject, making Jun Li and Lu Linyi nervous. Was Lin Wan going to take this opportunity to attack Jiang Xue?

"Your Majesty is so kind that he accidentally mentioned Changle's age at the poetry gathering, so he granted me the privilege of recording my birthday."

"Your Majesty is truly thoughtful. I was so busy with trivial matters that I forgot to ask about Changle's birthday. I will have someone check it out and prepare a suitable gift for you."
