Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 215 The huge temptation
Jiang Xue smiled gently: "Princess, I am going to be your fourth sister-in-law. Why should I be sad about other people's marriage?"
When she heard about that, her heart became as calm as a lake, and she even felt a little amused.
Seeing that she really didn't look sad at all, everyone around Xiao Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, Jiang Xue has been taking good care of her, and she likes this sister in her heart. Besides, she also knows that Fourth Brother is sincere to Jiang Xue, and she doesn't want to make Jiang Xue unhappy and Fourth Brother feel upset because of Jun Li's matter.
"Okay, now you've fully recovered. From now on, you can stop taking this medicine."
The poison of the Thousand Silk Gu was completely eliminated, and the weak condition of the body also improved greatly. Looking at the rejuvenated Xiao Gui in front of her, Jiang Xue felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Great, finally I don't have to drink that bitter medicine anymore." Xiao Gui smiled and picked up the plum cake on the table and put it into his mouth.
Her mouth has been filled with bitterness these days, and now she can finally taste something sweet.
"Seeing the princess so happy, His Royal Highness Prince Gong must be feeling very happy too."
Jiang Xue packed up the medicine box and watched Xiao Gui eat with relish with a smile.
Now that the deposed crown prince of Beixi was dead, she no longer had to worry about being arranged to marry, so she naturally felt a lot happier and more relaxed.
"Changle still understands me."
Xiao Zhan walked in with a smile and sat next to Jiang Xue naturally.
"Fourth Brother." Xiao Gui called sweetly. When she saw Xiao Yun, she immediately stood up happily and said, "Eighth Brother."
"Xiaojiu, I heard you're better now. Come on, I'll take you for a walk."
Xiao Yun rubbed his sister's little head and went out with her without looking back.
"Xiao Gui has just recovered. Your Highness Prince An, you must take good care of him." Jiang Xue gave this special instruction out of concern for the patient.
"I know, Fourth Sister-in-law." Xiao Yun waved his hand with his back to her, and in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared.
"Don't worry, although Lao Ba likes to make trouble, he knows what he is doing."
Xiao Zhan said that he and Xiao Yun were Xiao Gui's closest brothers.
To him, Xiao Zhan was like a father; and Xiao Yun, because of their similar age and similar personalities, was like a sibling and playmate to her.
So from childhood to adulthood, it was Xiao Yun who took Xiao Gui around to play.
"Your Highness just came back, you must be thirsty, how about a cup of tea to moisten your throat?"
Seeing that he was still wearing his court robes, Jiang Xue immediately understood that this guy had rushed over without taking a break right after court.
She quickly poured him a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and asked Fudong to bring some exquisite snacks.
"Oh, my princess is so thoughtful."
After drinking a cup of hot tea, my dry throat felt much better. I hadn't drunk any water since early morning, and I had been talking for a long time, so I was really thirsty.
Jiang Xue blushed and said with a smile, "I heard that His Highness and Lord Ye teamed up to arrange for Brother Lin to be an inspector in the Dali Temple and sent him to Yunzhou?"
"You have a sharp ear." Xiao Zhan nodded, "That's right, Wang Changqing's matter will be handed over to Master Ye. After all, Brother Lin is involved and it is not convenient for him to handle it personally.
As for Zhao Lianting, he has been arrested and interrogated. In the autumn, he will be beheaded for the crimes of adultery, cheating and deceiving the monarch. His family will also be exiled to the frontier. He will never be able to return to the capital in this life.
This time, Xiao Li and Xiao Yan each lost a general, and both sides were holding back their anger. In addition, the emperor arranged for Jun Li and Xiao Min to get married, which made the situation even more tense. "
"The situation of the two tigers fighting each other has turned out like this. Prince Li and Prince Duan must be very worried. Jun Li will not calm down either. The forces of all parties are on the verge of a fight. It seems that Yujing will have a good show to watch."
Jiang Xue raised her eyes to look at Xiao Zhan: "So, what are your plans, Your Highness? You were patient before because the time was not right. Now the court is falling apart, you don't want to just sit there and watch, do you?"
"I really can't hide anything from you, Changle. Speaking of which, when it comes to hiding one's shortcomings, we are both equally good."
He lowered his head and moved closer to Jiang Xue, their foreheads almost touching. Those eyes that saw through the world made him feel particularly attached to her.
"I'm not hiding my shortcomings. I'm just learning from my mistakes." She spoke from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for the bloody lessons of her previous life, her personality wouldn't have changed so drastically.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan's heart tightened slightly. He gently held her hand and said seriously: "Changle, from now on, I will never let you suffer any grievances again."
These words were like a warm current that struck the softest part of her heart. They were the most touching love words she had ever heard in her two lifetimes.
Which woman doesn't want to have a man who can protect her from the wind and rain? If life doesn't force it, who would be willing to smooth out their edges?
"Changle really took your Highness' words seriously."
Jiang Xue looked at herself in his deep eyes and spoke softly.
"You take it seriously, that's what I want."
Xiao Zhan smiled and gently placed a warm kiss on her smooth forehead.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and during this period of time, Yujing City was rarely peaceful.
There was no big commotion in the court; everything was as calm as a windless lake.
But the calmer the surface, the more violent the undercurrents. Under this seemingly peaceful scene, everyone can keenly feel how fierce the coming storm is.
"The Royal Tournament will be held in a few days, and we must prepare our weapons and horses carefully."
In the magnificent court, Emperor Beiling issued orders to his ministers in a majestic and solemn voice.
Every winter, there would be a royal martial arts competition in Beiling Palace, which was intended to urge the princes to practice martial arts diligently and not to slack off. This rule was ironclad, and no matter who the prince was, he had to participate. If he dared to make excuses to avoid it, he would be disobeying the order and would bear the consequences himself. The punishment would not be light.
The winner of the fighting competition will receive additional rewards, which vary from year to year and are extremely tempting this year. It is said that the supervisory power of the Minister of Agriculture will go to the winner.
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Xiao Li and Xiao Yan, who have recently lost their left and right arms. You know, the Minister of Agriculture holds the money bag, granary and logistics lifeline of Beiling. Once the supervision power falls into his hands, the oil and water will flow in like a river, needless to say.
"My father's plan is obviously to pave the way for the future crown prince."
Xiao Zhan leisurely placed a black piece, accurately cutting off Jiang Xue's white piece and eating up a piece. The situation on the chessboard suddenly changed.
"Crown Prince? Your Highness, do you think the Emperor has his heart set on Prince Li or Prince Duan?"
As soon as Jiang Xue placed a piece, the disadvantage of the white pieces was instantly reversed. The offensive was fierce and Xiao Zhan couldn't help but praise her repeatedly.
"The two of them have equal power in the court. Father's move is like adding fuel to the fire, making the two fight even more intense. It's like raising poisonous insects, using a large reward as bait, letting them fight on their own, and the winner will be the crown prince."
As the last piece fell, the outcome was decided, and Xiao Zhan secured the victory with a slight advantage.
