Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 227: Victory in danger
"Huh? You're awake." Jiang Xue raised her head and looked at him, her eyes still a little confused.
There were faint dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he hadn't rested well.
"Have you been guarding me all the time?" Xiao Zhan touched her face with heartache. Her small face, which was originally the size of a palm, now looked even smaller.
"I'm a doctor, I have to make sure my patients are 100% safe." As she said that, she stood up and took Xiao Zhan's pulse. His pulse was much more stable and his wounds began to heal slowly. As long as he rested well, he would recover soon.
"How long have I slept?" With the help of Jiang Xue, Xiao Zhan half-sat up against the head of the bed.
"Three days." Jiang Xue brought the freshly boiled medicine and put it to his mouth, signaling him to drink the medicine obediently.
"What happened outside during these three days?" Xiao Zhan drank the medicine obediently, and when his mind became clear, he began to ask about what happened before he fell into a coma.
With such a big commotion, even the Yulin Army was dispatched, Yujing City would definitely not be peaceful. Besides, he didn't believe that Jiang Xue would just take the beating and not fight back.
Three days is neither long nor short, and it is enough to do a lot of things.
Jiang Xue smiled slightly, handed the empty bowl to the girl, sat down on the bed, and began to tell him stories of the past few days.
"This move of yours is too risky." When Xiao Zhan heard that she actually asked Qing Feng to pretend to be himself and go to the Lin Mansion to act, his heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, Qing Feng was of similar build to him, and they grew up together, so she could imitate his movements and tone quite well. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to pass this level.
If someone were to discover that the "Xiao Zhan" who went to the Lin Mansion was actually Qing Feng in disguise, the Prince Gong Mansion might be in trouble now.
"Only by seeking victory in danger can there be a way out." If not, how can I bring down the Lin family, and how can I bring Aunt Tie and the other three home safely.
"From now on, don't use such dangerous tactics unless it's absolutely necessary." He didn't want to let his woman take risks.
"Adapt to the circumstances and respond accordingly." Jiang Xue responded calmly.
Having said that, the world is unpredictable, who can predict when danger will knock on the door?
"Alas." Xiao Zhan knew that in Yujing City, there were countless power struggles and disasters were common. He did not let Jiang Xue take risks, but the enemy would always find ways to force them into a corner. If he wanted to live comfortably in this place full of tigers and wolves, he could only adapt to the situation as Jiang Xue said.
"Princess, there's news from the palace..." Aunt Tie came into the room to report on the court's developments. When she saw Xiao Zhan open his eyes, she was overjoyed.
"Your Highness, you're awake." Aunt Tie was extremely surprised.
"Yeah." Xiao Zhan nodded.
"It's good that you've woken up, it's good that you've woken up. You don't know, Princess Changle has been so busy these three days, taking care of you day and night, changing clothes, feeding you, making medicine, everything. She's so exhausted." Tie Yi is a fast-talking kid. Before Jiang Xue could stop him, he told Jiang Xue all the hard work of the past three days.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan felt warm in his heart and his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
Changing clothes? Feeding? He was very curious, imagining how this little woman changed his clothes and how she fed him when he was unconscious.
"Aunt Tie, you came here because you have some new news from the palace!" Jiang Xue covered her forehead and helplessly reminded Aunt Tie not to go off topic, a little afraid to look Xiao Zhan in the eye.
"The princess is right. I just saw His Highness wake up and was so happy that I..." Aunt Tie scratched her head, put away her playful smile, and turned to the main topic:
"Princess, Your Highness, the Queen Mother and the Empress have put pressure on the Emperor to order the Lin family to be raided. The head of the Lin family, Lin Xu, has been sentenced to be beheaded, and the others have been exiled to the frontier. When the Imperial Concubine heard the news, she fainted on the spot and is now kneeling outside the Imperial Study, begging for the Emperor's forgiveness."
"It seems that the emperor is still reluctant to let go of the Lin family. Even after such a big incident that hurt the royal heir, he did not kill all the members of the Lin family." Jiang Xue sneered at the judgment of Emperor Beiling.
"I heard that the emperor originally planned to execute the entire Lin family, but later for some reason, he only sentenced Lin Xu to be beheaded." Aunt Tie told all the information collected by Linglong Pavilion.
Xiao Zhan asked: "During this period of time, has the emperor met anyone?"
Relying on the protection of Lin Wan and Xiao Yan, the Lin family has amassed countless wealth and power over the years, and gradually their power has become very powerful.
The Emperor of Beiling originally wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of them, and this time the charge of severely injuring the heir to the throne just gave him a perfect opportunity, but why did he change his mind halfway? There must be something fishy going on.
Aunt Tie: "The spy said that after the emperor made the first decision, Imperial Censor Liu Changsheng had a secret conversation with the emperor for two hours. Then it was General Nan's turn to report on his work."
Xiao Zhan: "Just the two of them?"
"Yes, it's just the two of them." Aunt Tie confirmed.
"Nan Jingxing is an upright person and has nothing to do with the Lin family. There is no reason for him to speak well of the Lin family. As for Liu Changsheng..." When mentioning him, Xiao Zhan looked disdainful.
"Your Highness has a grudge against Liu Changsheng?" Jiang Xue keenly caught the change in Xiao Zhan's expression.
"Celebrate the festival? That word is too light. The hatred between us is as deep as the sea." When saying this, Xiao Zhan exuded a murderous aura.
He will never forget who planned his mother's death.
Jiang Xue was shocked. She didn't expect that there was such a deep hatred between Liu Changsheng and Xiao Zhan.
"Auntie Tie, keep an eye on Lin Wan and Liu Changsheng's whereabouts in recent months. Report to me in detail."
"As ordered."
"Also, what's going on with Li Gong?"
"Li Gong often goes to Tingfeng Tower to listen to music recently. The boss said that he only stays in one room every time and doesn't ask girls to accompany him. Even the wine and food are placed at the door by the waiter and he takes them in by himself." Aunt Tie reported.
"Oh, then please ask the boss and Zhong Qing to check if there is any door in that room."
Li Gong, Liu Changsheng, horse farm, siege... These key words kept circulating in Xiao Zhan's mind, and seemed to form a clue.
"Does Your Highness suspect that Li Gong and Liu Changsheng have some shady dealings?" Jiang Xue hit the nail on the head.
She was full of doubts. Theoretically, Li Gong was Xiao Li's man, and Liu Changsheng was Xiao Yan's man. The two had different positions, so it should be impossible for them to join forces.
However, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world. As long as we have common interests, we can coexist peacefully even if we have opposing positions.
"It's just speculation now. There is no evidence, and I can't be sure whether they are really up to something or just using each other." These two men are among the Nine Ministers, and they have deep minds. To find out their intentions, I have to spend some time observing them.
"Then let's wait patiently for good news." Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and looked down to see that Xiao Zhan's bandage was soaked with medicine.
"Your Highness, it's time to change the dressing," she said gently.
She wrapped her hands around his strong waist and untied the knot of the bandage from the back. After removing the bandages from his waist one by one, she suddenly felt a warm sensation between her eyebrows.
"Uh-huh……"
