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

But I love her so much that I am determined to go. You know how stubborn she is. Once she gets angry, even nine bulls can’t pull her back.”

Of course Xiao Zhan understood Zhong Qing’s stubbornness; she was exactly like her brother!

"This girl is such a headache!" Angry, helpless, guilty, all kinds of emotions mixed together, Xiao Zhan felt mixed emotions.

"Boss, can you take me to see Miss Zhong Qing?" Jiang Xue spoke first. Although she had only met Zhong Qing once, they got along very well. Since she knew she was injured, Jiang Xue couldn't just sit there and watch.

Xiao Zhan also echoed: "Let's go and take a look."

The two came to Tingfeng Tower. As soon as they entered the door, Qingfeng caught a glimpse of a few sneaky figures flashing by not far from the door.

Qingfeng became suspicious, said hello to Tieyi, and immediately chased after him.

"What's wrong with him?" Xiaochun asked, pulling at the corner of Tieyi's clothes.

"If you see anyone suspicious, go and check the situation." Tieyi explained.

"Xiaochun, come and give me a hand." Fudong stuffed the medicine box into Xiaochun's arms and asked her to take it into the house to Jiang Xue. He then took the empty box to prepare hot water.

The scene on the bed was simply horrific.

The bloodstains on the white sheets were terrifying to see.

Jiang Xue frowned and gently lifted the thin blanket covering Zhong Qing.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Zhan turned their heads away consciously.

The situation beneath the thin quilt was much worse than she had imagined.

Except for Zhong Qing's still beautiful face, the rest of her body was tortured beyond recognition.

The worst were the burns on his back and chest. His originally smooth skin was now burned to pieces. Black, charred flesh mixed with blood stuck to his body, and some of it even hung on the inside of the thin blanket.

Xiao Yan is such a beast! How dare he treat a young girl like this!

"How is she now?" Xiao Zhan said in a low voice with his back to the door.

Jiang Xue said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good. The wounds are numerous and deep. The bleeding cannot be stopped. The burns on the body are serious. I may have to bear the scars for the rest of my life."

As she spoke, she skillfully treated Zhong Qing's wound and removed the necrotic flesh.

In order to prevent Zhong Qing from moving around due to the pain, she asked Fudong and Xiaochun to hold her body down, and stuffed a soft towel into her mouth for her to bite to avoid biting her lips or knocking out her teeth.

After working for an hour, when Jiang Xue finished sewing the last stitch, Zhong Qing had completely fainted.

Her body was covered in stains of a mixture of blood and sweat, and the thin blanket was completely wet.

"Finally done." Everything is finally over.

The silver needle was taken out, the blood and sweat were wiped clean, and then Zhong Qing was changed into clean clothes and bedding. Only then did Jiang Xue breathe a sigh of relief.

At least, this life was saved.

The severe pain in her body brought Zhong Qing back from her coma. Due to the severe burns on her back and chest, the slightest movement felt like a knife cutting her.

"Don't move, just lie down quietly." Jiang Xue comforted.

"You are really reckless, girl." Xiao Zhan stood by the bed, frowning, "You know the character of Xiao Yan. I promised your brother that I would keep you safe. If anything goes wrong with you, how can I explain to your dead brother?"

"Your Highness, please calm down. I was impulsive at the moment. Please punish me." Zhong Qing bowed his head and admitted his mistake, looking pitiful.

Seeing Zhong Qing bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Jiang Xue felt distressed.

She had just talked with Xiao Zhan about Zhong Qing's life experience.

She was originally the daughter of a family of musical artists, but because of Bei Ling's invasion, she lost her country and her loved ones.

And the leader of the invasion was Xiao Yan.

After Xiao Yan captured the capital, he allowed his men to burn, kill and loot, and the people were either killed or injured.

In order to protect their loyalty, her father and brother risked their lives to send her out of the royal city.

Xiao Zhan and Zhong Qing's brother met at Putuo Temple, and they were very close. When Xiao Zhan heard that his brother was in trouble, he rushed to save him, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. When he arrived, his brother was full of arrows and had only one breath left. He desperately protected Zhong Qing in his arms.

Xiao Zhan will never forget that scene. His brother was covered in blood, holding his hand tightly. He said nothing, but Xiao Zhan knew the pleading in his eyes.

"I will keep her safe throughout her life." Xiao Zhan promised.

Hearing this, the eldest brother of the Zhong family smiled with relief, closed his eyes, and passed away.

“Yun Che, we both feel the same about the national hatred and family feud, so don’t blame Miss Zhong Qing.” Jiang Xue understood Zhong Qing’s feelings. With such a deep hatred, she was willing to try it even if the risk was great.

Xiao Zhan sighed: "Forget it, don't be so reckless next time. Take good care of your injuries and don't take any missions during this period."

"Your Highness, Princess." Zhong Qing's voice stopped the two people who were about to leave.

She pointed at the clothes she had taken off with difficulty, and asked the maid to take out a delicate dice from it and handed it to Xiao Zhan.

"My trip was not without gain." Although he was tortured in Prince Duan's Mansion, he also got some information that ordinary spies could not dig out.

"While we were trapped, I overheard Xiao Yan chatting with someone from Qian State. He mentioned the Tieyun Army and Qian State's crown prince. I wrote down their conversation." Zhong Qing looked at Jiang Xue: "Princess, you have to be extra careful."

Since its establishment, the Tieyun Army has been directly under the command of the legitimate crown prince. As long as the legitimate princes and princesses are still alive, the illegitimate princes are not qualified to command the Tieyun Army.

Therefore, even if Feng Qiyuan took great pains to sit on the throne of Qian Kingdom, he would not be able to touch the Tieyun Army due to his illegitimate status.

"In order to gain the power of the Tieyun Army, Xiao Yan seems to have reached some kind of agreement with Feng Qiyuan. Princess, your safety is the key to their agreement." Zhong Qing said.

Xiao Yan lost the support of Zhao Lianting, Liu Changsheng and the Lin family one after another. Now the only ones he can rely on are Fengchang Jun Tianwen and Weiwei Feng Bing.

On the other hand, after Marquis Anguo was removed, Xiao Li secretly controlled the 30,000 soldiers under his command. As for Xiao Zhan, he had the full support of Marquis Zhenbei.

In comparison, Xiao Yan has no military power, which is his biggest shortcoming!

"No wonder he has been so low-key recently, it turns out he is secretly colluding with Feng Qiyuan." Xiao Zhan suddenly realized.

"I have kept their plans and arrangements in mind, but this is just a rough outline. I don't know the specific details." It is not easy for Zhong Qing to achieve this, and he deserves credit for it.

Jiang Xue nodded sincerely, her gratitude overflowing with words: "These clues are enough. Miss Zhong Qing, Changle sincerely thanks you."

The two returned to the palace and carefully studied the draft on the dice. The black and white words revealed the wolfish ambitions of Feng Qiyuan and Xiao Yan.

It turned out that they were all going after the Tieyun Army. Feng Qiyuan offered a condition that as long as Xiao Yan killed Jiang Xue, he would be able to obtain the right to dispatch the Tieyun Army and help him launch a coup to force the emperor to abdicate.
