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

"This time Jun Li went to great lengths to protect Xiao Min, but it was simply to protect himself. After all, he is Xiao Min's son-in-law. If anyone is really held accountable, he will definitely be the first one to suffer." Xiao Zhan explained.

"He failed to bring down our Prince Gong Mansion this time. Next time, he will definitely use greater force," said Jiang Xue.

"Don't worry. After what happened today, he won't do it again so quickly. Xiao Li lost face because of kneeling, and now Jun Li must be under great pressure. He is too busy dealing with Xiao Li to bother us for the time being. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, is unusually quiet today."

When mentioning Xiao Yan, Jiang Xue nodded with a serious expression. Indeed, Xiao Yan had kept silent ever since Xiao Li threw Xuan Qing's investigation scroll to him.

"Looking at the current situation, Xiao Yan suffered the most. Imperial Censor Liu Changsheng was arrested, Lin Wan was deposed, the Lin family declined, Zhao Lianting was demoted, and the trump cards in his hand disappeared one after another. Even his smug face was burned beyond recognition.

If it was him in the past, after losing so much, he would definitely do whatever it takes to win over forces and move around, but what have you seen of him recently?"

Especially in the past few days, Prince Duan's Mansion has been so quiet that people almost forget it is still there.

"What is he doing?" Jiang Xue asked.

"It's not clear yet. Prince Duan's Mansion has quietly purged a lot of people recently, and many spies lurking in the mansion have been caught. For the time being, we can't figure out what happened in the mansion."

He has arranged for people in Linglong Pavilion to investigate the situation, and he believes that there will be news soon.

In a corner of Prince Duan's mansion far from the hustle and bustle, there was a small courtyard with crackling sounds coming from it, like someone was playing with popcorn. Occasionally, suppressed sobs could be heard, mixed with creepy laughter.

The guards standing at the door were all frightened. Ever since Prince Duan got a scar on his face, his temper became more and more strange, and the way he treated people became more and more cruel. It was like he had become a completely different person.

The man in the room was captured yesterday, and everyone was wondering if he could survive the night and see the sunrise the next day...

Yun Che, have you heard about whether our Lord Xiao Li has recruited new members into the team recently? Jiang Xue has always been thinking about the needle hole on Emperor Beiling's chin, and always felt that things were not that simple.

Xiao Zhan asked curiously: "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly concerned about this?" Anyone who can make Jiang Xue care about him must be no easy task.

Jiang Xue thought about it and decided to speak out her concerns. Xiao Zhan nodded quickly after hearing this: "We must pay attention to it. I'll ask Linglong Pavilion to check it out later."

At this point, Jiang Xue became interested: "By the way, what is your relationship with Linglong Pavilion? Their intelligence is so expensive that even if you are a prince of a country, it is not easy to pay for it.

You are not favored in Beiling, and your salary is not as good as that of the Tenth Prince Xiao Jin. How can you ask Linglong Pavilion for help at every turn?"

At first, Jiang Xue thought that Xiao Zhan had a deep friendship with Master Xuanji, so Linglong Pavilion would take special care of him. But after marriage, the two spent time together day and night, and she found that the Linglong dice in Xiao Zhan's hand were updated very quickly, which made her start to wonder about the relationship between Xiao Zhan and Linglong Pavilion.

"Remember, I gave you a note before?" Xiao Zhan had also considered whether to confess his true identity to Jiang Xue. At that time, he was still somewhat wary of her. But now it was different. She was his wife and the closest person in his life. There was no need to hide it.

Jiang Xue nodded, he was referring to the date at Tingfeng Tower.

"I thought that after that time, you should have guessed my identity to some extent." Xiao Zhan had a gentle smile in his eyes.

"I did suspect that you were Young Master Xuanji, but when I think about it carefully, we were not familiar with each other at that time, and Emperor Beiling was suppressing the forces of the martial arts world. If you really were Young Master Xuanji, you would not have easily met me."

It turned out that this person was incredibly bold. Not only did he dare to take the risk to meet her, he also chose the Tingfeng Tower in public.

"Sometimes, the best way to hide is not to hide." Xiao Zhan said lightly.

Jiang Xue chuckled, this made sense. Emperor Beiling would never have imagined in his dreams that the leader of the underworld forces he was trying so hard to capture was hanging around under his nose every day.

“Hey, that kid Mo Tian, ​​I have already arranged a carriage for him. Tonight he will disguise himself as a small vendor and leave the city in the caravan disguised by Linglong Pavilion.” Linglong Pavilion has connections all over the world, and with the cover of various identities, helping Mo Tian leave the city is a piece of cake.

"Well, I hope he can find Prajna and the others smoothly." Jiang Xue said.

As they were talking, Qing Feng knocked on the door and came in, interrupting their conversation. "Your Highness, the owner of Tingfeng Tower has arrived." He said respectfully, lowering his head.

"Let him in." Xiao Zhan ordered.

As soon as the shopkeeper entered, Qing Feng immediately closed the doors and windows and stood by. The shopkeeper stepped forward to salute, and when he saw Jiang Xue beside him, he was slightly startled. Just as he was about to speak, he closed his mouth again.

"I'll go out first. You guys chat slowly." Jiang Xue could see that the shopkeeper was a little wary of her, so she didn't force him. She said this softly and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan gently took her hand and brought her to his side. "Jiang Xue is my princess, just tell me if you have anything to say." This was to show Jiang Xue's status to the people in Linglong Pavilion.

The shopkeeper understood, and the alertness in his eyes disappeared. He lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, Princess, Zhong Qing was summoned to the palace by His Highness Prince Duan last night, and was not sent back until half an hour ago. She is covered in wounds and is almost dying now."

Upon hearing the news, both of them changed their expressions.

The two of them knew Xiao Yan's character very well. His cruelty towards women was simply insane!

In her previous life, Jiang Xue had seen with her own eyes how miserable the women tortured by Xiao Yan were! They were covered with bruises, burns, and bite marks. In serious cases, a large piece of flesh could be torn off. This was not something a normal person could do!

Zhong Qing had been missing for the entire night, so it was easy to imagine what had happened. If it was just a minor injury, the shopkeeper would not have come to the palace to report it. The actual situation was probably ten times more serious than what he said!

"I have previously instructed that without my order, Zhong Qing is not allowed to leave Tingfeng Tower. Even if she is invited by a high-ranking official, she cannot just accept it casually. Why did you let her go to Prince Duan's Mansion this time?"

Alas, Zhong Qing was this girl who was entrusted to him by an old friend. He always took her safety seriously. Now that something went wrong, he felt guilty and angry.

The shopkeeper looked at the anger in Xiao Zhan's eyes, shook his head, and sighed: "Your Highness, how dare I disobey your orders? When Prince Duan's men arrived, I stopped them outside the door.
