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

Xiao Zhan's frown also relaxed a little.

After handing Xiao Gui over to Fu Dong Xiaochun's care, the two walked out of the room and went to the yard to find Xiao Yun, who was still angry.

"Fourth brother, what happened to our ninth sister?" Xiao Yun loved this little sister the most. Seeing her suffering like this, he wanted to immediately find out the person who hurt her and teach him a lesson.

"Bring her up." Xiao Zhan pressed Xiao Yun's shoulder and asked him to sit down, then ordered Tieyi to bring Xiao Gui's personal maid up.

This little girl has been following Xiao Gui since she was a child. She is more timid than a rabbit. When she saw three important figures standing in front of her, her calves trembled.

"Don't be nervous. We and the two princes just want to ask you a few questions. You have to tell the truth."

The job of asking questions has to be done by a careful girl like Jiang Xue, otherwise Xiao Zhan with his icy face or Xiao Yun with his explosive temper might scare people to death.

"Yeah." The little girl responded timidly.

"Tell me, why did the Queen punish Xiao Gui today?"

In the palace, even if you want to teach a little maid a lesson, you have to give a reason, let alone a princess.

"Princess Changle, the Queen Mother said that she would betroth Xiao Gui to the Crown Prince of Beixi. Our princess didn't want to do that, and after a few words, the Queen Mother got angry and made the princess kneel outside the gate of Fengming Palace, and she was not allowed to get up unless she agreed." The little girl dumped out everything she knew.

"Crown Prince of Beixi? Which Crown Prince of Beixi?" Jiang Xue pondered in her heart. The Queen was definitely not talking about the one currently in the Eastern Palace of Beixi.

The little girl's mouth sank, and she felt sorry for her own princess: "It's the deposed prince of Beixi, Your Highness Prince Gong, you have to save our princess! The deposed prince has been pestering our princess for a while.

A while ago, the day before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the princess was almost bullied by the abandoned prince on her way to Wanbao Tower! Thanks to the guards of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, she escaped the disaster! "

The little girl cried and knelt down in front of Xiao Zhan and begged. The princess didn't let her say it before because she was afraid of causing trouble for His Royal Highness Prince Gong! But now, there is really no other way.

If she didn't ask His Royal Highness Prince Gong for help, the princess would have to marry that rude and impolite Beixi abandoned prince! This marriage would end the princess's second half of life.

"This bastard!" Xiao Yun was furious when he heard it.

He slapped the stone table, cracking a corner of it.

Xiao Zhan's face was not looking good either. He had been busy with the cases of Zhao Lianting and Lin Wenxing these days and paid less attention to Xiao Gui. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Your Highness, there are things I want to talk to you about alone."

Jiang Xue immediately remembered what her uncle had mentioned to her last time at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

The Marquis of Zhenbei had said earlier that the deposed Crown Prince of Beixi had asked the Emperor of Beiling to marry the Princess of Beiling. It seemed that the Emperor of Beiling also had this intention and most likely acquiesced.

Otherwise, how could the deposed prince have the courage to touch a duchess in the street in broad daylight?

Seeing Jiang Xue's serious face, Xiao Zhan knew that what she was going to say must be something important, so he asked Xiao Yun to take care of the little girl and followed Jiang Xue to the small pavilion nearby.

"Your Highness Prince Gong, there may be something fishy going on with the abandoned crown prince of Beixi."

Jiang Xue told Xiao Zhan everything about her previous conversation with the Marquis of Zhenbei. Seeing that he was thinking with his head down, she did not disturb him and waited for him quietly.

"It looks like we have to go and have a good chat with that deposed prince tonight."

As night fell, Jiang Xue changed into men's clothes and followed Xiao Zhan to Tingfeng Tower.

Tonight, Tingfeng Tower is extremely bustling with people, like they are at a market, the place is packed with people and the noise is deafening.

"Hey, what's this about?"

"Today is Miss Zhongqing's performance, and a bunch of rich and powerful people are lining up to keep her for the night!"

"Is this true? Miss Zhongqing has always only sold her art but not her body. How come she has changed her ways?"

"How many women in a brothel can hold that line?"

Downstairs, everyone was talking about it. Upstairs, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan were hiding in a private room, opening the curtains and secretly observing the movements outside.

"Your Highness, Princess, the deposed crown prince of Beixi is in room number two next door."

Tieyi reported in detail what happened in the room.

"Tell the shopkeeper to make sure Zhong Qing falls into the hands of the deposed prince."

Zhong Qing is Linglong Pavilion's right-hand man. The deposed prince could never have imagined that the top performer in Tingfeng Tower has such great abilities.

"Order!"

"I heard that the deposed crown prince is ruthless and can rival Xiao Li. Your Highness, aren't you worried that Zhong Qing will suffer?"

Jiang Xue stared at the beautiful woman on the stage holding a pipa and turning a porcelain bottle in her hand.

"Changle has something in mind?"

Seeing her confident look, Xiao Zhan asked curiously.

"This is the obedience potion I just developed. I just happen to be in need of a test sample. Would Your Highness Prince Gong like to test it yourself?"

Jiang Xue handed over the porcelain bottle, a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

"This guy got a bargain."

Xiao Zhan took the medicine bottle and handed it to Tie Yi: "Tell Zhong Qing to make the deposed prince drink this medicine."

"understand!"

Everything went as planned. Zhong Qing was sent to room number two. Then a burst of unbridled laughter came from next door, but it stopped abruptly after a short while.

Xiao Zhan gently moved the teacup on the table, triggering a mechanism. The wall connected to the next door slowly sank and disappeared under the ground.

"Two walls." Jiang Xue looked at the newly exposed wall and whispered to herself. The reason why the sound insulation of this private room is so good is because of the double walls.

Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded slightly to her, placed his fingers lightly on his lips, and made a gesture of silence to the thin partition wall.

"Miss Zhong Qing is truly worthy of her reputation. She is the top girl in Tingfeng Tower and is extremely beautiful."

Next door, the deposed crown prince of Beixi came over with a drunken voice.

"However, compared to that woman, it seems to be a little worse."

Ever since he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xue's beauty in the Imperial Garden, he has been obsessed with her and always wanted to find an opportunity to snatch her away from Xiao Zhan and taste her beauty.

"Who is the woman that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was talking about?" Zhong Qing took the opportunity to ask. The love potion given by His Royal Highness Prince Gong had obviously worked, as could be seen from the confused look of the deposed Crown Prince.

"Humph, of course it's the one Xiao Zhan is protecting. One day, I will take good care of that woman and have a taste of what it feels like to have an owner!"

As soon as these words fell, Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue's faces seemed to freeze.

Zhong Qing looked up at the wall behind the abandoned prince and silently lit a candle for him. Even though she couldn't see Xiao Zhan, she could still feel the cold air through the cracks in the wall.

The effect of the medicine was so significant that the deposed crown prince had already begun to speak without restraint. Zhong Qing struck while the iron was hot: "Your Highness, Zhong Qing has a question. I hope you can enlighten me."

"Speak!" At this moment, the deposed prince's mind was in a daze, his mouth was completely out of control, and he blurted out whatever was on his mind.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to marry Xiao Gui. Is this true?"
