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

Jiang Xue herself had experienced this kind of helplessness and despair, so how could she not empathize with him?

Jiang Xue held Xiao Gui's hand tightly until she fell into a deep sleep. Anger flashed in her eyes, and she quickly rushed to the dark cell.

"enough."

Xiao Zhan waved his hand to signal Tieyi to stop whipping, and looked at the deposed prince who was covered in scars but still clenched his teeth, his brows furrowed.

Unexpectedly, this Crown Prince is quite principled.

Now things get tricky.

"Your Highness." Just when Xiao Zhan was in trouble, Jiang Xue walked into the cell.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Zhan stood in front of her, not wanting her to witness the bloodshed.

"Xiao Gui's side..."

Jiang Xue told Xiao Zhan everything about Xiao Gui's current situation and her own speculation.

His eyes gradually became sharp, and the coldness penetrated into his eyes.

"Your Highness, how about letting me try?"

She leaned over to look at the deposed prince covered in blood, her eyes full of contempt.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't take his life." She would not let him escape punishment easily.

"I'm worried that he will hurt you." Xiao Zhan sighed and stepped aside: "Come on, I'll stay here."

Jiang Xue took a few steps forward and stood ten steps away from the prince. She asked coldly, "Did you create the Thousand Silk Gu on Xiao Gui?"

"Hey! Little beauty, do you want to know? Let your man let this prince go first!" The obscene look of the deposed prince made Jiang Xue feel disgusted.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't appreciate it, I have no choice but to help." As she spoke, she took out an exquisite bamboo flute, which was specially made for her by her master. It had been covered in dust for a long time, but now it is showing its splendor again.

The melodious flute sound flowed from the red lips, echoing in every corner of the dark dungeon.

"Haha! What? You can't do it by force, so you want to impress me with music? Xiao Zhan, your trick is too childish! Do you think you can make me speak by playing a song? You are dreaming..."

The word "dream" got stuck in his throat, the deposed prince's eyes shrank suddenly, and his arrogant expression froze in an instant.

The candlelight flickered, and the walls, skylights, and even the ground of the dungeon were quietly occupied by densely packed small snakes! Although these snakes were small, they were extremely poisonous.

They became restless following the sound of Jiang Xue's flute and slowly climbed onto the deposed prince's hands, feet and body.

The deposed prince, who had been so tough just now, now looked as pale as death. He dared not move. A snake was wrapped around his neck, and if it bit him, he would be between life and death.

"Your Highness, do you want to tell me now or wait until they have finished their feast?" Jiang Xue's voice was gentle but like a call from hell.

The deposed prince had never thought that a woman could push him to this point.

He swallowed and looked at Jiang Xue in panic: "Yes, I was the one who planted the Thousand Silk Gu. Who told her to reject me? I want to let her know how powerful I am."

The perpetrator was still so righteous, Jiang Xue was furious, and as soon as she said that, the snakes tightened their siege instantly.

"Where is the antidote?"

Jiang Xue asked, her fingers holding the flute turning pale.

"Let me go first! I'll tell you if you let me go!"

The deposed prince had been afraid of snakes and insects since he was a child. Now that dozens of snakes were entangled around him, he was extremely frightened.

"what!"

Seeing that he was hesitating, Jiang Xue blew gently, and a green snake on his thigh bit him, causing the deposed prince to wail in pain.

"Your Highness, you still won't tell me?"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! The antidote is in the lining of my underwear!" After seeing Jiang Xue's methods, the deposed prince dared not hide it anymore and quickly confessed.

Under Jiang Xue's command, a black snake nimbly crawled into the deposed prince's clothes, and soon, it took out a small oil-paper bag. The deposed prince was frightened by this operation and almost fainted.

"Okay, the next step, what's the whereabouts of the military map?" Jiang Xue was relentless and put the bamboo flute to her lips, ready to play another song.

But at this moment, several figures broke through the air and sprinkled some unknown powder on the abandoned prince. The poisonous snakes seemed to have encountered their natural enemies and fled in all directions in an instant, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye! One of them rushed straight towards Jiang Xue, but was kicked away by Xiao Zhan.

"Retreat!" The masked men in black cut off the shackles of the deposed prince neatly and threw something down. Suddenly, smoke filled the air, covering the sky and the sun. Taking advantage of the chaos, the group fled. Jiang Xue remained calm in the face of danger, stretched out her hand, and actually tore off a piece of the mask.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The smoke was pungent, and Jiang Xue was choked and coughed non-stop. Xiao Zhan patted her on the back to help her breathe, and it took her a while to recover.

"Changle, are you okay?" Seeing that her coughing had gradually stopped, Xiao Zhan helped her up, his eyes full of worry.

Jiang Xue shook her head and her eyes fell on the pile of orange-yellow powder on the ground - it was clearly the sulfur that snakes feared the most.

"Tieyi, Qingfeng, seal off the palace immediately, everyone gather in the courtyard!" The order was concise and powerful, and the action was launched immediately.

Xiao Zhan gave the order in a stern tone. The secret cell was a secret place he had carefully constructed. No one except the people in Prince Gong's Mansion would know of its existence. Now, since someone was so bold as to break into the secret cell and carry out a hijacking, it undoubtedly meant that there was a traitor in the mansion. He vowed to find out the truth about this person.

In just a moment, nearly a hundred people from Prince Gong's Mansion lined up neatly in the courtyard. Some looked puzzled, while others seemed anxious, and none of them knew what they were doing.

"Everyone, hold out your hands!"

Following Xiao Zhan's order, everyone raised their arms in unison. Jiang Xue walked through the crowd, carefully checking every hand until she was done, but did not find any signs of fresh scratches or bloodstains.

"Qing Feng, count the number of people and see if anyone is missing."

Jiang Xue instructed, thinking that if the traitor was not present, he would have already escaped.

"Princess, Your Highness, there are 97 people in total, and we are short of 3 people!"

After Qing Feng finished the statistics, he immediately reported the results to the two of them.

"Go check if there is anything unusual in the residences of these three people. If they are traitors, they must have left something behind."

Jiang Xue's guess was indeed correct. The valuables in the three people's room had been swept away. Qingfeng and Tieyi even found a small note in the room, on which were written the words "Secure someone from the prison"! The handwriting was deliberately neat, and the identity of the writer could not be identified.

At this point, it can be confirmed that these three people are indeed traitors in Prince Gong's Mansion, but who is the mastermind behind the scenes and how they sneaked into the palace remains a mystery.

"Your Highness, we dug up three skeletons and three burnt human skin masks from the ground behind the three people's residence!"

Just as Xiao Zhan was pondering over how to infiltrate the traitor, another shocking news came.

"Your Highness, according to my observation, these three skeletons should be the real servants of the palace. They have been specially treated to accelerate their decay, but it can be seen that they happened in the past few days."

Qing Feng's report shocked everyone present.

The servants in Prince Gong's Mansion fell into extreme panic. Who could have imagined that their partners who worked side by side with them on weekdays would suffer such a misfortune!
