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

"Do you know how precarious today is?" Although there was a screen between them, Xiao Zhan could still clearly see the graceful figure looming behind the screen.

His eyes suddenly dimmed and his voice became a little hoarse. When he learned that she was in danger, she had already gone out. He had been secretly monitoring the deposed prince, just to find the missing military map, but who knew that he didn't find the map, but first received the news that Jiang Xue was almost attacked.

"Tieyi and the two maids can protect me, and I can protect myself, too. Your Highness, don't worry." Jiang Xue said as she was about to put on her clothes, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan appeared in front of her in an instant.

"Your Highness, this..." This is not in accordance with etiquette. Before Jiang Xue could finish her words, she was embraced in a warm embrace.

The familiar scent of ambergris filled her nose again, and his hug made her feel at ease, blush, and her heart beat fast.

"Even so, how could you rush in without making any noise in such a dangerous situation?" Xiao Zhan wanted to blame her.

She was so reckless! What if Tie Yi was not strong enough? What if they were ambushed? Then she would be the one to suffer humiliation.

From the moment he got the news, he was terrified, afraid that Jiang Xue would make any mishap, afraid that she would get hurt in any way.

Along the way, he was thinking about teaching this woman who frightened him a lesson, but when he saw her, his previous anger instantly disappeared. Hearing her unyielding rebuttal, although he was still a little dissatisfied, he felt more helpless.

Jiang Xue, he really couldn't bear to blame her.

The whisper in her ear startled Jiang Xue. It turned out that he was worried about her.

Jiang Xue felt guilty: "Your Highness Prince Gong, I'm fine."

After another moment of silence, Xiao Zhan slowly distanced themselves from each other.

"Next time there is a situation like this, if you have to go, please notify me in advance."

He knew very well that in the vortex of Yujing, which was full of disputes, dangers were everywhere. He himself could not completely avoid them, let alone Jiang Xue, who was a hostage. He only hoped to know the plan before she took action, so as to avoid being without any backup like today.

"Well, I'll remember that. Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Xue suggested with an apologetic smile, "How about I bring Your Highness along for the adventure next time?"

This slightly naughty suggestion made Xiao Zhan couldn't help laughing. He bent down to help her tidy up her clothes, took her hand, and walked out of the room together.

"Remember this account for now. I'm still angry." Xiao Zhan pulled Jiang Xue to sit down and motioned her to speak slowly.

"Then can this gift calm your anger?" Jiang Xue smiled mysteriously and pulled out a blueprint from her sleeve. When the blueprint was unfolded, Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up.

It turned out to be Beixi’s secret military map.

"How did you get him to tell the truth?" The deposed prince's mouth was as hard as a rock in the dark cell and no matter how hard we tried, our mouths wouldn't open.

"The medicine used this time is much more powerful than last time." To be precise, it is several times more powerful and the effect is immediate.

"I think that tomorrow morning, the Emperor of Beiling will no longer consider marrying Xiao Gui to the abandoned Crown Prince of Beixi."

Jiang Xue's smile was meaningful, which made Xiao Zhan curious about what trick she had come up with.

The next morning, a dramatic scene took place on the streets of the city: a woman was lying in the middle of the road, surrounded by onlookers. On top of the woman lay a man who was almost equally naked, and around him lay a group of dirty beggars.

The couple had outstanding looks and stood out among the beggars. Soon, someone recognized that the woman was the daughter of the Marquis of Anguo who had been demoted to a commoner.

And the man was none other than the recently-attracted abandoned crown prince of Beixi! The city of Yujing was immediately in an uproar.

"How can this be possible? The Crown Prince of Beixi is so bold as to insult the people of Beiling? Do you think I am just a decoration?"

Emperor Beiling was furious at the court in the morning. He threw the memorial away and cursed.

Marquis Anguo lost his beloved daughter and was filled with grief and indignation. He knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, although my daughter has done something wrong, she has been punished and demoted to a commoner. She is still my daughter! I am heartbroken that she died in such humiliation. Please, Your Majesty, take care of my daughter and severely punish the Crown Prince of Beixi."

"Father, the Crown Prince of Beixi has gone too far. Although Chen Xiner has been demoted, she is still a child of the Beiling nobility. He insulted her to death, which clearly shows that he does not take Beiling seriously." Xiao Li stood up and spoke righteously, which aroused the indignation of the ministers, and they all requested that the Crown Prince of Beixi be severely punished.

The Emperor of Beiling felt the same way. A deposed prince dared to humiliate the nobles of Beiling in this way. It was simply challenging his bottom line and openly provoking Beiling's dignity. He would not marry Xiao Gui, and he did not want the military map. Without the map, Beiling's iron hoof could still trample all over Beixi.

"Somebody come!"

The Emperor of Beiling shouted angrily, "Pass the order down, throw the deposed crown prince of Beixi into the death row, behead him at noon tomorrow, and skin him alive for public display!"

In the East Garden, the deposed prince did not dare to go through the front gate, and could only sneak out through the back door. The city was full of Beiling soldiers searching for him, and his followers were captured, killed, or imprisoned. Now, he had no choice but to seek refuge with Jun Li.

But he was caught by Jun Li as soon as he stepped into the door. The gleaming sword was pressed against his neck, and with a slight pressure, his skin was cut. The deposed prince was so frightened that he dared not move.

"What is this, Your Highness? Why don't you go out through the main gate? Do you have to act like a night thief?" Jun Li's eyes were full of contempt and his words were full of sarcasm.

It hasn't been long since then, and this guy has caused such a big mess again, messing up his careful plans.

"Do you think I am happy? It was all because of that cunning woman Jiang Xue! She framed me! I should have listened to you and not let her go!" The deposed prince complained.

The sword flashed, and the cold blade at his neck came closer. The abandoned prince quickly put away his arrogance and looked at Jun Li timidly. The murderous aura emanating from this man was really frightening, and he felt that his life would be taken at any time.

"Are you causing trouble for her again?" Jun Li seemed to be even colder.

"I just want to get some face back from her!" the deposed prince defended.

"You tried to get back at the scene but ended up with a murder and got yourself involved. Humph! You are so stupid!" Jun Li scolded unceremoniously.

"You dare to insult this prince? Believe it or not, I will take your head immediately!" The deposed prince roared again.

"Go ahead and give it a try, and see which one falls faster, your head or my sword." The tip of Jun Li's sword flashed with a cold light, full of murderous intent.

"You..." The deposed prince realized that this man would really take his life. The extremely oppressive aura of death made him completely weaken.

"Don't... As long as you let me go, I will agree to any condition, anything is fine, just don't kill me, please." The deposed prince almost begged.

"Are you afraid of death? Humph, it's easy. Hand over the military map, and maybe I can consider sparing your life." Jun Li stretched out a hand and said coldly.
