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

"You deserve it." Xiaochun is a vengeful guy.

Thinking of the time when the Queen bullied me and made me blow cold wind, he said it was retribution.

"Girl, just say this at home and don't let outsiders hear it." Tieyi patted my head gently with a doting look on his face.

However, this girl is just straightforward and cute, that's why I like her so much.

Fu Dong was helping me trim the branches and smiled at me, "Princess, I heard that the rash was discovered during the emperor's bedtime. The emperor was so disgusted with the queen that he fled Fengming Palace overnight and messed up the entire imperial medical department all night before he felt at ease. After this, the queen may not be able to sleep with the emperor for a while."

Not being able to sleep with the emperor means gradually losing favor, and the longer the time, the weaker the favor.

The Queen was originally older than the other people in the harem. Ever since the Emperor of Beiling had new loves, such as Ye Zhaoyi and Su Xiurong, he had not treated her as well as before. Now this kind of thing happened, and the Queen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.

The corners of my mouth slightly raised when I heard that. It seems that the rouge medicine I made myself is quite effective.

I took the opportunity of helping the queen to get up and secretly gave her some medicine. The original plan was that it would take effect in five days, but I didn't expect it to be effective in two days, just before the arrival of spring.

"Is this your revenge?" I felt a warm feeling behind me. When I turned around, I saw Xiao Zhan standing behind me with a smile on his face.

When Xiaochun Fudong and the others saw Xiao Zhan appear, they tactfully stepped aside, leaving us some space to be alone.

"You are so punctual. Why did you leave court so early today?" Jiang Xue said in surprise. Usually Xiao Zhan would be busy until noon before going home, but today he came early, which made her very happy.

Her little womanly look of anticipation for her husband's return home made Xiao Zhan feel warm inside, almost melting him.

"Hey, I'm back." Xiao Zhan lowered his head and kissed her ear, then hugged her tightly and said.

"You are so brave." Jiang Xue pulled him to sit down at the table and started making tea, her skills becoming more and more skilled.

"I'm not a careless person. How can I easily forgive the Queen after she insulted me like that?" Jiang Xue turned her wrist slightly and washed the teacup in her hand.

"Well said. We can't let her bully us for nothing." Xiao Zhan smiled. This woman is really not easy to mess with.

"You're still blaming me. Yun Che, didn't you also send people to spread the news of me being bullied that day throughout the palace? Qing Feng said that this incident resonated with everyone, and they all said that this was God's punishment for the Queen."

She saw clearly the figures outside Fengming Palace last time. They were all spies used by Xiao Zhan to pass on information from the palace.

"The princess is amazing. Nothing can be hidden from you." Xiao Zhan nodded and admitted, "This is all because the queen usually exploits the servants too much. The eunuchs and maids in the palace have been resentful of her for a long time, and they just took this opportunity to vent their resentment."

This queen was narrow-minded and her ability to manage her subordinates was worrying, far inferior to that of Imperial Noble Consort Lin Wan. Maybe Lin Wan also got involved this time to make things difficult for the queen, after all, the queen had taken advantage of Lin Wan's misfortune before and withheld a lot of things from her.

When mentioning Lin Wan, Xiao Zhan looked at Jiang Xue and the smile on his face faded a little.

"Speaking of which, Qingfeng and the others are keeping an eye on Li Gong and Liu Changsheng, and now they have made some progress."

"Oh?" Jiang Xue raised her eyes to look at him. It seemed that the relationship between these two people was unusual.

Xiao Zhan's face was serious, this matter was a bit tricky.

"Li Gong was dissatisfied with his position as the Imperial Household Department and wanted to move up, so he found Liu Changsheng. Liu Changsheng gave him a condition. If he fulfilled it, he would recommend him to Xiao Yan and let him take the position of the Minister of Rites. Do you know what Liu Changsheng wanted?"

"Isn't it going to take my life?" This is not a question, but a conclusion.

Considering the accident at the racecourse, their purpose is not difficult to guess.

"Then have you ever thought about why Liu Changsheng wanted to live with you?" Zhan asked.

Xiao Zhan was not surprised that she could guess Liu Changsheng's intention, but he was worried about how she would react when she heard the next news.

"This... I really can't imagine it." Jiang Xue shook her head.

Whether in the past life or this life, she and Liu Changsheng had hardly any dealings with each other. In theory, they should not have any grudges against each other.

"I remember you used to have a personal bodyguard named Mo Tian." Xiao Zhan suddenly mentioned Mo Tian, ​​making Jiang Xue's heart tighten.

She hadn't seen him for a long time since the last time he went to check the whereabouts of his brother.

It's not that she didn't worry, but Mo Tian would send messages every few days to report the progress, so she gradually felt relieved. But now, he hasn't replied for ten days, which makes Jiang Xue start to feel uneasy.

Especially when Xiao Zhan mentioned his name, this feeling of uneasiness became stronger.

"Could it be that Mo Tian..." Combining his previous words, Jiang Xue roughly guessed what Xiao Zhan meant.

"Yes, Linglong Pavilion sent a message saying that Liu Changsheng recently destroyed a secret base of the Qian Kingdom in the suburbs of Yujing City. I heard that this place has existed for a long time and several people were captured there, including Mo Ran."

When a country's secret base is raided, one can imagine what kind of torture the people inside will suffer.

Ordinary people simply could not withstand those punishments, such as scraping bones, stabbing, branding with irons, poisoning with insects... These tortures that make people shudder and make life worse than death are commonplace.

"Maybe Mo Tian couldn't stand the torture and gave you away, which made Liu Changsheng want to kill you." Xiao Zhan said.

It will take time to find out the specific situation in the prison. Now Xiao Zhan can only guess why Liu Changsheng took action.

"No, that doesn't make sense." Jiang Xue shook her head: "Don't say that Mo Ran couldn't have betrayed me. Even if he did, Liu Changsheng would have no reason to kill me."

"You instigated your subordinates to steal Beiling's secrets and lurk in Beiling to plot evil. Liu Changsheng can kill you as long as he catches a glimpse of you and makes a fuss about it." Xiao Zhan analyzed:

"Liu Changsheng is Xiao Yan's important assistant, and his words carry a lot of weight. Besides, Xiao Yan and Lin Wan hate you to the core now, so it's possible that he wants to use your life to please them."

Jiang Xue fell into deep thought. This matter was much more serious than she had imagined.

Although she had never had direct contact with the bigwigs in the court in her previous life, judging from the fact that Jun Li had been repeatedly suppressed, these people were not pushovers.

In this life, I personally go into battle, and the bloody storm that is coming towards me is as fierce as a tide.

Now, what should she do? Since the other party has already made a move, she has to deal with it properly.

After thinking carefully for a while, Jiang Xue raised her head and said, "From what Your Highness said, Linglong Pavilion is also helping to collect intelligence. Can we ask them to help find out where Mo Tian is now?"

The most important thing now is to find out Mo Tian's situation. If he really betrayed her, then she will naturally show no mercy. But if not, she will not abandon him.

"I guess there will be news tonight." Xiao Zhan said.

Seeing that Jiang Xue seemed to have an idea, he asked, "What are your plans?"
