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

Although the military strength of Anguo Marquis is not as good as that of Zhenbei Marquis, it is the best choice at present. In the past, it was impossible to marry Xiao Min because the sycophantic Concubine De would never agree.

However, Xiao Min had already had an affair with Wang Ruixuan, and despite Concubine De's best efforts to cover it up, he still knew about it. For a princess who had lost her virginity, it was a blessing for someone to be willing to marry her.

After all, as he was a member of the royal family of Xichen Kingdom, it would always be a better choice for her to marry him than any other family in Beiling.

"As long as the princess is happy, has Concubine De mentioned the wedding date?" He thought to himself that the sooner the marriage happens, the better.

Xiao Li was busy dealing with the mess of Wang Changqing and Prajnafang, and Xiao Yan probably had no time to pay attention to this side at the moment. The palace was in an uproar because of Zhao Lianting's cheating in the imperial examination and killing of innocent people.

He must hurry to marry Xiao Min and seize power. Only in this way can he bring Jiang Xue back to Xichen as soon as possible.

"Humph, it makes me angry just by mentioning it." Xiao Min snorted unhappily, "It's all caused by that little bitch Jiang Xue."

"What does this have to do with...Princess Changle?" Jun Li frowned, feeling quite dissatisfied with Xiao Min's address to Jiang Xue. In the past, he had never been so unhappy when Xiao Min was not respectful to Jiang Xue.

"It's all because of her marriage to the Fourth Prince! The Empress Dowager said that my wedding can only take place after the Fourth Prince and her are married!" Xiao Min's eyes were full of resentment. This little enemy was always competing with her, even trying to get ahead of her on the wedding date! Why couldn't she just disappear?

"So that's how it is..." Jun Li's mouth curled up with a hint of coldness. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother's wishful thinking will fail. Now the news of Jiang Xue's disappearance is probably all over the city. A woman who has not returned for one night will inevitably make people imagine. Even if Jiang Xue returns safely, her reputation has been damaged. The royal family will not accept a woman with a bad reputation.

Jiang Xue, you are destined to belong to me and only me.

"Who's there?" Xiao Min glanced around and spotted Jiang Xue, who was disguised as a servant, and called her over. He didn't expect that the fifth princess had such sharp eyes that she could be spotted even if she was hiding far away.

Jiang Xue laughed secretly in her heart. Now that she had been discovered, she might as well step forward openly to avoid hiding and arousing suspicion.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess." Jiang Xue bowed deeply to Xiao Min, her head almost touching the ground, and spoke in a respectful tone.

"What are you looking at furtively over there?" Xiao Min was always gentle and dignified in front of Jun Li, but now that the marriage was settled, she no longer pretended to be weak and began to show her true nature.

Although she occasionally threw tantrums, she still cared about Jun Li's attitude. Seeing that he did not stop her, she became even more presumptuous, acting like the mistress of East Garden, ordering her servants around.

"Princess Fifth, I just happened to pass by and didn't see anything." Jiang Xue replied.

"Didn't you see it?" Xiao Min stared at her: "Look up!"

She was very angry about the wedding date and wanted to vent her anger on someone. Since someone came to her, she would naturally not show mercy.

"What did you say? Changle is missing?" Xiao Zhan returned from the palace early in the morning. After listening to Tieyi's report, his heart tightened.

After finally presenting Zhao Lianting's evidence, Xiao Yan was hit hard. Before he could even catch his breath, he heard that Jiang Xue was missing. Xiao Zhan didn't even bother to change his court clothes. He just took off his official hat and was eager to learn about Jiang Xue's situation from Tie Yi.

"Last night, I heard some noise in Princess Changle's room and rushed to check. I saw a black shadow flash by and chased after it. But when I caught up, I didn't see anyone. When I came back, Xiaochun and Fudong hurriedly said that Princess Changle was missing and there were signs of a struggle on the bed. They also found Princess Changle's golden needle. I'm afraid someone took her away by force!"

Tieyi recounted in detail what happened last night. Xiaochun and Fudong searched all night without success and are still trying their best to look for the person.

"You've fallen into the trap." Xiao Zhan knew that Tieyi had fallen into the trap as soon as he heard it. He was afraid that Xiaochun and Fudong had also encountered the same trick, so that Jiang Xue was kidnapped in the room.

"I know I was wrong!" Tieyi was filled with remorse. His Highness had asked him to protect Jiang Xue in Nanyuan, and now that she was missing, he blamed himself immensely.

"Admitting mistakes and punishment are not the focus at the moment. Finding Changle is the most important thing." Xiao Zhan put aside the accountability for the time being, forcing himself to calm down and sort out the entire incident again.

"The person who was able to send you and the two girls away and take Changle away without anyone noticing must be someone who knows the layout of Nanyuan very well. Changle hasn't come into contact with many people in the past year, and even fewer people are familiar with Nanyuan."

Xiao Zhan carefully screened the people who had a grudge against Jiang Xue, and finally locked on a guy who had both ability and motivation.

"Let's go!" With the target set, Xiao Zhan's face was gloomy, and a murderous aura was faintly emanating from him.

Tieyi followed closely behind, not daring to neglect him at all. His Highness had never been so angry since the death of His Highness the Crown Prince. It seemed that Princess Changle was indeed very important to His Highness.

"Hey, Fourth Brother, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yun had just returned from the palace and was anxious to inform Xiao Zhan about the progress of Zhao Lianting's fraud case. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, his fourth brother passed by him. Wherever he passed, the air seemed to drop ten degrees.

He wondered why his fourth brother was so angry.

"Dongyuan!"

Xiao Zhan spoke briefly, rode out on his horse, and led a group of guards in the mansion straight to the East Garden.

"What happened..." Xiao Yun was confused. Dongyuan? Did the guy in Dongyuan annoy the fourth brother?

Snapped.

Over there, Xiao Min swung his whip towards Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue was unable to dodge and was hit hard on the arm, with her skin torn apart instantly.

Tsk! If I had known earlier, I would have practiced Qinggong seriously with my master.

Jiang Xue felt extremely regretful at this moment, for being lazy in practicing martial arts in Changle Mountain.

Unfortunately, she was not born to be a martial artist, but she had a special interest in poisons and detoxification.

"You still dare to hide?"

Seeing Jiang Xue dodging, Xiao Min became even more furious and changed his hand and swung the whip down again.

The whip hit Jiang Xue's left ankle squarely, causing her forehead to sweat instantly. But she gritted her teeth and held on, knowing that falling would only double the whipping.

Jun Li stood aside, turning a blind eye. To him, the servant's life was unimportant. It didn't matter what Xiao Min loved. He was thinking about how to make his marriage with Xiao Min go more smoothly.

"Hmph, you can't move? It just so happens that this princess is worried about not being able to find someone to practice whipping with. You're lucky today, this 'honor' belongs to you!" Xiao Min looked at Jiang Xue pressing her leg in pain, and a twisted joy surged in his heart.

The whip was raised high again, this time the target was Jiang Xue's shoulder! Although Jiang Xue wanted to fight back with the golden needle, once she did so, her identity would be exposed.

It was not easy for her to escape as she was covered in wounds. If her identity was exposed and discovered by Jun Li, wouldn't she be unable to escape even if she had wings?
