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

When I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of eyes as gentle as water, and there was warmth flashing in the deep black pupils.

"Be good, there's only a little left, drink it up." Xiao Zhan coaxed her like a child until she drank the last sip, then he handed the bowl of medicine to Xiaochun who was waiting on the side.

"Your Highness." After taking the medicine, Jiang Xue became a little more sober and realized that she was leaning on Xiao Zhan's arms. Her cheeks flushed. She wanted to sit up straight, but accidentally touched the wound, and she gasped in pain.

"You're injured, don't move." Xiao Zhan gently pressed her back into his arms. His deep and magnetic voice echoed in her ears, causing ripples in Jiang Xue's heart.

"Those two people in Dongyuan..." She hesitated to speak, wanting to ask Xiao Zhan how he planned to deal with Xiao Min and Jun Li.

One is the fifth princess who is favored by the Emperor of Beiling, and the other is Jun Li, who is scheming and good at forbearance and calculation. Although she did not witness the fight between Jun Li and Xiao Zhan in her previous life, she learned from others that it was a fierce contest.

Earlier, due to his weak power, Jun Li cleverly maneuvered between Xiao Li and Xiao Yan to survive, and the head-on conflict with Xiao Zhan had not yet begun.

But now, Jun Li has set his sights on the position of the prince consort, intending to use it to climb to a higher position. It seems that he will no longer be willing to be inferior to others. Jun Li is narrow-minded, holds grudges, and will definitely seek revenge. She is worried that once he gains power, he will pose a threat to Xiao Zhan.

"Relax, I have already sent Tieyi to the palace to report on Dongyuan's matter. Father and my two brothers are busy with Zhao Lianting's case and have no time to take care of other things for the time being."

The Emperor of Beiling was furious and threatened to execute Zhao Lianting and his entire family. Xiao Yan naturally tried his best to protect him, and Xiao Li would not miss this good opportunity to add insult to injury. If he lost a Minister of Zongzheng Temple, Xiao Yan would also have to lose a Minister of Honglu.

Jiang Xue felt relieved: "So how is Brother Lin doing now?"

Lin Wenxing is obviously the biggest victim of this incident. He studied hard for many years and finally won the top spot in the exam, but his test paper was switched and he failed at the last moment. It is really a pity.

"When Brother Wen Xing first heard the truth, it was indeed difficult to accept it, but fortunately he has gradually calmed down now."

Xiao Zhan recounted the whole incident in detail: "Do you know? The reason why Zhao Lianting approached Lin Wenxing was because of the article "General's Strategy". The examiner found that the style was strikingly similar to the article written by the top scholar that year, so he became suspicious. In order to cover up the cheating, he came up with the idea of ​​replacing Lin Wenxing with Wang Changqing and wanted to get rid of him to prevent future troubles."

"Zhao Lianting is such a corrupt guy. It's not enough for him to usurp other people's fame and honor, he even tried to take their lives. How despicable! Poor Brother Wenxing is fighting alone and being bullied."

Jiang Xue sympathized with Lin Wenxing from the bottom of her heart. Such a talented person was destroyed and displaced by these corrupt officials.

"Master Ye and I will help Brother Wenxing get justice in this matter." Xiao Zhan promised.

He highly appreciated Lin Wenxing's talents and believed that such talents should be carefully cultivated.

"Don't always worry about others. Take good care of your own injuries." Looking at her thickly bandaged arms and the bleeding wound on her waist, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart and regretted that he had been too lenient in punishing Jun Li and Xiao Min.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Changle knows a little about medicine. This little injury is nothing."

She hadn't felt the feeling of being cared for for a long time. Today, she felt a lump in her throat when she received this long-lost warmth from Xiao Zhan. She moved closer to his arms involuntarily. Xiao Zhan was stunned at first, then he held her arms tighter.

"Changle, you should stop living in Nanyuan and move to Prince Gong's Mansion."

After a brief silence, Xiao Zhan spoke softly. Jiang Xue's heart trembled. She looked up and met his deep eyes, and was distracted for a moment.

"Your Highness, if Changle moves into Prince Gong's Mansion before the wedding date is set, it may cause controversy."

After confirming that Xiao Zhan was not joking, Jiang Xue sat up straight in his arms and responded seriously.

"Nanyuan is too remote and the guards are not tight enough. Even though Tieyi and your two personal maids are experts, Junli still took you away from there. This is enough to prove that Nanyuan is not safe enough. As my fiancée, I care about your safety and suggest that you move to Prince Gong's Mansion. What's wrong with that?"

Xiao Zhan distanced himself a little and analyzed the situation with her in a soft voice. It was obvious that his proposal was well thought out.

Beiling State had many precedents of bringing unmarried brides to the palace in advance. As long as the reasons were sufficient, outsiders would not say anything. As a princess, even if she was a noble girl, if Jiang Xue really married from a simple place like Nanyuan, she would inevitably become a laughing stock.

Jiang Xue weighed the pros and cons. Jun Li was both stubborn and extreme. Since he had successfully taken her away once, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do it a second time. No one could say for sure whether she would be able to escape unscathed next time.

Well, anyway, she is engaged to Xiao Zhan, and will be the mistress of Prince Gong's Mansion sooner or later. It doesn't make any difference whether she moves earlier or later.

"Okay." Jiang Xue nodded and asked Xiaochun to go to Nanyuan to help pack the luggage.

Fu Dongze went with the maids arranged by Xiao Zhan to decorate Jiang Xue's room.

"I want to go too!" When Tieyi saw Xiaochun going out, he hurriedly followed with an excited look on his face.

After the two walked away, one could vaguely hear Tieyi's exaggerated screams and Xiaochun's cold ridicule.

Qingfeng glanced at the two masters in the room, then looked at Tieyi who was kicked by Xiaochun in the distance, and thought: This cold winter is about to pass, and spring is indeed not far away.

After a few days of recuperation in Prince Gong's Mansion, Jiang Xue's injuries were basically healed.

During this period, she discussed pharmacology with the doctor that Xiao Zhan respected, and her life was quite fulfilling. The doctor praised Jiang Xue in front of Xiao Zhan more than once, saying that she was proficient in pharmacology at such a young age and was truly a medical genius.

Every time Xiao Zhan heard this respected doctor praising Jiang Xue so much, pride would unconsciously reveal itself in his eyes.

"Banzhilian and Banzhilian sound like the same thing, but their medicinal properties and effects are very different..."

That day, Xiao Zhan came to visit Jiang Xue after finishing his official duties. He saw her holding a medical book in her hands, immersed in it. The table was filled with various medicinal materials, and she was studying the book carefully.

Her focused look was extremely charming. Xiao Zhan didn't want to disturb her, so he leaned against the door frame, put his hands in his sleeves, and watched the scene quietly.

It was not until an hour later that Jiang Xue put down the book and rubbed her neck: "Your Highness Prince Gong?"

Turning around, he saw Xiao Zhan standing at the door with a smile on his face.

After spending a few days together, they seemed to have formed some kind of tacit understanding, and they could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

Facing him, Jiang Xue felt much more at ease. She was no longer the deliberately dignified person she used to be. The liveliness and playfulness unique to a sixteen-year-old girl were inadvertently revealed.

"Your Highness, please come in quietly. It's cold outside. What if you catch a cold?" Jiang Xue said as she made him some hot tea, motioned him to sit down and rest, and asked Fu Dong to add more charcoal to warm the room.
