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

The wet quilt covered Xiao Yan, leaving only his handsome face exposed. Jiang Xue turned around and left the Lock Heart Pavilion, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

The moment he stepped into the Luanyi Hall, the alarm bells in the palace rang, "There's a fire in the Suo Xin Pavilion," someone shouted loudly.

A large number of servants carrying buckets of water hurried to the Lock Heart Pavilion.

"Changle, you're here just in time. Change into your suit quickly."

Seeing the empress dowager greeting her kindly, Jiang Xue took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and walked towards the bright red wedding dress.

"Empress Dowager, Changle just heard that the Locking Heart Pavilion caught fire. Who exactly is this Locking Heart Pavilion?" While changing clothes, Jiang Xue asked the Empress Dowager carefully. The misery suffered by the Queen of Qian Kingdom could not have left no ripples in the palace. She wanted to find out those guys who did not help and settle accounts one by one.

The queen mother looked surprised, and a hint of suppressed regret flashed across her eyes. Her originally bright smile instantly faded, appearing a little stiff.

"The Locking Heart Pavilion is a mysterious forbidden area in the palace. Today, Changle, you must be happy and don't let those messy things ruin your big day."

The Queen Mother's avoidance of the topic made Jiang Xue's eyes look even colder. She wondered if the Queen Mother also knew what secrets were hidden in the pavilion? Was she one of the people who watched her mother die without saving her?

When she thought of this, Jiang Xue felt a tightness in her chest. Whether in her previous life or this life, this old lady had always been so good to her.

If it weren't for her, I would never have been able to come out of Beiling alive and well in my previous life. In this life, it is because of her that I can get married with Xiao Zhan.

This matter is really confusing. If the Queen Mother really did not help me back then, should I have taken action?

"Changle?" The Queen Mother saw that Jiang Xue was distracted and called out softly.

"Empress Dowager." Jiang Xue bowed and saluted.

She was fully armed with a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, with red lips, bright eyes and white teeth, and she was so beautiful that she could overwhelm the whole country.

This girl is a replica of Lu Congfang.

The Queen Mother looked at her lovingly, recalling the scene when she sent Lu Congfang to marry to the Kingdom of Qian.

It’s a pity that Congfang’s child had such a bad fate and ended up with such a tragic ending.

If she had not gone to Putuo Temple to pray and stayed in Yujing, she would definitely not have let Emperor Beiling do such a heinous thing.

"Good boy, it's really pretty."

The Queen Mother kept praising him, her eyes turning into crescent moons as she smiled.

Looking at the empress dowager's kind smile, Jiang Xue felt mixed emotions.

It was already the hour of Si, a great time. Xiao Zhan made a stunning appearance in a bright red wedding gown and appeared in the Luanyi Hall.

"My grandson sends his regards to the royal grandmother."

People feel refreshed when they are happy. Xiao Zhan was delighted when he saw the beautiful Jiang Xue beside him.

The bright red dress did not look tacky on her, but made her look more charming and pretty.

Usually, her clothes are always fresh and elegant. Her bold beauty like today is really eye-catching.

"Haha, okay, okay, kid, Changle is in your hands. You must pamper her well and never let her suffer any grievances."

The Queen Mother personally handed Jiang Xue's hand to Xiao Zhan. Her tone and expression were full of instructions, as if she was marrying off her daughter.

Seeing Xiao Zhan holding Jiang Xue's hand seriously, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. She failed to protect Cong Fang back then, so this time she was determined to protect Cong Fang's daughter.

Yun Che was different from the Emperor of Beiling. He was her grandson, and she knew his character very well. From the way he looked at Xiaoxue, she knew that this child would be as affectionate and loyal as his father.

“Yun Jian, your son is getting married, are you happy? You must protect Yun Che and Xiao Xue and keep them healthy and happy throughout their lives.”

Watching the two fiery figures walking away, the Queen Mother looked up at the sky, the smile on her lips becoming more and more gentle.

"Queen Mother, the Locking Heart Pavilion has been burned down, and the Emperor is extremely angry now."

At this time, Mo Yan came over and reported in a low voice.

The queen mother, who was smiling just now, immediately stopped smiling: "Just burn it. It's uncomfortable to keep such a humiliating place."

She had been looking for an opportunity to tear down that damn place, and burning it down now was just what she wanted.

"But the emperor..." Mo Yan hesitated.

"Hasn't he done enough evil things? Don't think I don't know why he kept that place. As the king of a country, he is obsessed with someone else's queen and won't let her go even after she dies. Isn't he afraid of retribution?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she stamped her feet and banged her dragon-headed cane on the ground. "Tell him that this is my will. Let the Heart-Locking Pavilion burn down. It's just the right space for me to build a Buddhist temple. I want to chant sutras and worship Buddha."

She wanted to pray for Congfang's salvation and atone for Xiao Yan's sins.

"Yes." Mo Yan understood the Queen Mother's thoughts and sighed. The Queen Mother could not let go of this.

After all, I have raised her for so many years, so I still have feelings for her. But can he really redeem himself for the sins he committed in this lifetime?

"Empress Dowager, there is one more thing. The palace maids found His Royal Highness Prince Duan in the Locking Heart Pavilion. He was in the pavilion when the fire broke out and his face was completely destroyed." Mo Yan said.

This is really bizarre. The only thing injured on his whole body was his face, while the rest of his body was completely unharmed.

According to the young eunuch who found him, Prince Duan was able to save his life because he was wrapped in a wet quilt.

Moreover, he was holding a few burnt matches in his hand.

Why did Prince Duan appear in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, the Suo Xin Pavilion? Why did he make fire prevention preparations and hold matches? All of this simply gave Xiao Yan the accusation of arson.

Now that was good. Emperor Beiling was furious and directly ordered Xiao Yan to be placed under house arrest. He also did not allow any imperial physician to treat the wound on his face.

At the same time, the wedding at Prince Gong's Mansion was extremely lively, which formed a sharp contrast with Xiao Yan's situation.

All the guests were important figures and they all sent their blessings to the newlyweds.

Jiang Xue's uncle, Marquis Zhenbei, sat on the high seat and accepted the greetings from the newlyweds on behalf of her deceased parents.

Xiao Yun served as the wedding master of ceremonies and hosted the entire wedding, while Xiao Gui and Lu Linyi were responsible for all matters in the front hall, keeping everything in order.

Other guests included Ye Rongxiu, the Dali Temple Minister, Sun Taiwei, who was about to retire, Nan Jingxing, the major general of the Nan family, and the family of Yong'an Hou, the Guanglu Xunye. As for Lin Wenxing, although he was in Yunzhou and could not be present, he also sent a lot of gifts to express his congratulations.

This wedding included almost all the important officials of the Beiling court, and Xiao Zhan's power was no longer a secret.

This made Xiao Li feel unprecedented pressure.

"Hmph." In Prince Li's mansion, Xiao Li put down the teacup heavily, scaring the servants around him.

Jun Li remained calm as he looked at Xiao Li's ugly face, secretly laughing at him in his heart, thinking that he was a rude man who would only lose his temper when something happened.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Even though Prince Gong has considerable power, he only occupies two of the Nine Ministers at most. If Your Highness can take control of the remaining three Lords before him, the situation will still be under your control."
