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

With a wave of her slender jade hand, the hidden weapon whizzed out, narrowly catching up with and knocking down the cold light.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan's arrow pierced through the cherry and nailed to a tree trunk not far away.

"Your Highness, shot it."

the judge shouted at the top of his voice.

The crowd watching the excitement were all stunned.

How could this Prince Gong, who usually does nothing, be such a skilled archer?

A deep light flashed in the eyes of Emperor Beiling. He had always disliked this son, but fortunately he was here today to save the face of the Beiling royal family. Otherwise, he would have lost face if his nephew had stolen the limelight right after the royal competition started.

For once, Emperor Beiling smiled at Xiao Zhan and praised him, "Well done, Yun Che. Well done."

This was the first time Xiao Zhan could remember hearing Emperor Beiling calling his name.

Under the leadership of Emperor Beiling, those fence-sitters changed their attitudes one after another, became enthusiastic and praised Xiao Zhan highly.

"Your Highness Prince Gong is truly heroic."

"As expected of a descendant of the royal family, this skill is really well hidden."

Xiao Zhan just laughed off these flattering words and didn't take them to heart at all.

He turned to look at Jiang Xue. The smile in her eyes was what he cared about most.

"Your Majesty, the fifth princess is injured."

Just when everyone was happy, Xiyan, who was serving the fifth princess, ran over in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Defei immediately stood up and ran to her daughter.

The expression of Emperor Beiling, which had just relaxed, became solemn again.

"The Fifth Princess is injured? Where is she injured?"

He glanced around and found that nothing could hurt Xiao Min except Xiao Zhan's arrow.

It is a serious crime to dare to hurt the princess under his nose.

"Your Majesty, the princess's right leg is injured." Xiyan replied.

"Fourth brother, what do you have to say?" Xiao Li didn't ask any questions and directly put the blame on Xiao Zhan.

"Second brother, your question is very strange. Was it me who caused the fifth sister's injury?" Xiao Zhan retorted with a sneer.

"Except for your fourth brother, no one has ever approached Caiwei. Maybe you hit her too hard and it's normal to hurt her accidentally. Don't quibble. As long as you sincerely admit your mistake to the emperor, the emperor will not blame you too much."

Xiao Yan also took the opportunity to fan the flames. This was the first time he stood on the same camp as Xiao Li.

After all, the edge displayed by his fourth brother today made him smell a hint of threat.

If he is not suppressed sooner rather than later, Xiao Zhan may become a new stumbling block in his fight for the throne.

"Prince Gong, Prince Li and Prince Duan are right. If you admit your mistakes, the Emperor and I will give you a lighter sentence."

The Queen has never been kind to Xiao Zhan, and this time will be no exception.

Seeing that Emperor Beiling's expression was becoming more and more ugly, Xiao Zhan remained calm.

He ignored the queen, nor looked at Emperor Beiling, but glanced at Jiang Xue from the side and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Changle has something to say." When Jiang Xue stood up, Jun Li became nervous.

What does she want to do? Can't you see that these people are determined to punish Prince Gong?

Is she going to die?

"Speak." Emperor Beiling waved his hand and agreed.

"Xiyan just said that the Fifth Princess was injured in her right leg, but His Royal Highness Prince Gong aimed his arrow at the cherry on top of the Princess' head. Everyone saw with their own eyes that the cherry was pierced by the arrow and nailed to the screen. Unless His Royal Highness Prince Gong shot a second arrow, it would be impossible for a scar to be left on the Fifth Princess' right leg."

Jiang Xue's words made everyone present suddenly realize.

Yes, how could the arrow go from the head to the leg?

"Your Majesty, I think what Princess Changle said makes sense. Prince Gong only shot one arrow from beginning to end. It is impossible for him to hurt the fifth princess."

Zhenbei Hou stood up to support Jiang Xue.

"Father, I also think that Princess Changle is right. Fourth brother would never hurt fifth sister." Xiao Yun also stood up.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Gong has been taught by the Queen Mother since he was young. He should not be a cruel child. Please be careful."

Sun Xiurong also persuaded gently.

"Father, you have taught us to distinguish right from wrong since we were young. Everyone has seen what Fourth Brother did just now. His archery skills are superb and accurate. Everyone can see clearly whether he hurt anyone or not. Please make a fair judgment, Father."

Even the tenth prince Xiao Jin stood up and knelt down to plead for Xiao Zhan.

When Xiao Li and Xiao Yan saw this, alarm bells went off in their hearts.

From this time on, Xiao Zhan's network of contacts became so extensive.

So many people spoke up for him, but they thought he was just an idle prince?

Emperor Beiling had not expected that a prince whom he had looked down upon and underestimated by everyone for many years would have such a great influence. It was impossible to punish him now.

This Prince Gong has hidden his strength so deeply right under his nose. It seems that he will have to keep a close eye on him in the future.

"If it wasn't Prince Gong, why was the Fifth Princess injured?" asked Emperor Beiling.

Jiang Xue waved to Fu Dong and asked her to take out something and hand it to the eunuch supervisor.

"Your Majesty, this is the hidden weapon found next to the Fifth Princess. It is stained with blood and matches the wound on the Fifth Princess' leg."

This was the cold light that suddenly appeared when Xiao Zhan shot the arrow just now.

"The style of this hidden weapon looks familiar." When Emperor Beiling picked up the hidden weapon and took a look, Xiao Li's face in the audience immediately changed.

The shape of this hidden weapon is exactly the same as the previous lotus arrow.

Emperor Beiling gently turned the mechanism at the bottom, and the hidden weapon instantly unfolded into an iron lotus.

"Your Majesty should recognize this hidden weapon. This is the Lotus Arrow, which is unique to the Marquis Anguo's Mansion."

Jiang Xue pointed at Marquis Anguo and said.

The last time she went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Fu Dong fell in love with the lotus arrow, so she asked her uncle to give her one. She didn't expect that it would come in handy today.

"Impossible, I didn't throw the lotus arrow. What I threw was a flying knife."

Marquis Anguo was impatient and could not stand provocation. After being provoked by Jiang Xue, he confessed.

It was too late for Xiao Li to stop it.

"Marquis Anguo, you are too brave."

Emperor Beiling was furious and threw the lotus arrow at the feet of Marquis Anguo.

Marquis Anguo never expected that Jiang Xue would trick him into revealing something. Faced with the emperor's raging rage, he immediately knelt on the ground and desperately protested his innocence.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Even if I had the courage to do something so outrageous, I would not dare to do such a treasonous thing. It was Princess Changle who deliberately misled me, causing me to be confused and speak nonsense."

Watching Marquis Anguo shouting his injustice at the top of his lungs, Jiang Xue felt no sympathy at all.

If he hadn't attacked Xiao Min first, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

She saw clearly the cold light when Xiao Zhan shot the arrow, which came from the hand of Marquis Anguo.

Fortunately, she asked Fu Dong to use something to block the hidden weapon of Marquis Anguo, otherwise not only Xiao Min would have died, but Xiao Zhan would also have been implicated.

As for the two hidden weapons, Fu Dong had already taken them back during the chaos.

Anyway, no matter what kind of thing it is, it belongs to Marquis Anguo, and he can't run away even if he wants to.
