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

If he could take this opportunity to overthrow Prince Gong's Mansion, then he would have this woman's life in his hands! The negotiation with the Qian Kingdom would have a better chance of success!

With Xiao Yan's instigation, Emperor Bei Ling's anger became increasingly out of control!

Emperor Bei Ling slapped the armrest, stood up, and asked Xiao Zhan in a condescending voice: "Rebellious son! Why don't you admit your mistakes?"

Seeing this, Xiao Li and Xiao Yan were secretly delighted.

Xiao Zhan, your situation is over.

The anger of Emperor Bei Ling instantly froze the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, and the air was filled with tension. Xiao Li and Xiao Yan's team looked like they were just looking for trouble, waiting to see Xiao Zhan's excitement.

However, the power behind Xiao Zhan should not be underestimated! His supporters are different from Xiao Li and Xiao Yan's subordinates who are only in name only. They all hold real power and are extremely intelligent. This is the real trump card in Xiao Zhan's hand!

“Your Majesty, I have worked with His Royal Highness Prince Gong before and I know that he is an upright and hardworking person. He is definitely not one of those villains who only seek to steal the achievements of others.” Ye Rongxiu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, was the first to stand up and speak for Xiao Zhan.

Then, Zhenbei Marquis Lu Changfeng also stood firmly on Xiao Zhan's side: "Your Majesty, during the preparations for the Spring Festival, I personally went to Prince Gong's Mansion and witnessed with my own eyes that His Highness personally took care of everything and worked extremely hard. It was not like Prince Li and Prince Duan said that he just sat back and enjoyed the results. I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here. I implore Your Majesty to investigate in detail!"

The support of the two important ministers made Emperor Bei Ling temporarily put aside the idea of ​​punishing Xiao Zhan. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhan, who seemed careless on weekdays, could actually win the protection of the heavyweights in the court!

These two old ministers are highly respected and virtuous. If their advice is ignored, there will probably be an uproar inside and outside the court, which is something Emperor Bei Ling does not want to see.

"So, Marquis Zhenbei and Lord Ye think that my second brother, as well as these court officials, are making up lies to frame Prince Gong?" Xiao Yan spoke with sarcasm, obviously dissatisfied with the obstruction of the two old ministers.

“I dare not, but I know His Royal Highness Prince Gong very well and do not want to see him suffer an unjust accusation.” The Marquis of Zhenbei bowed slightly to Xiao Yan with a respectful attitude.

"Hmph! It seems that Marquis Zhenbei really loves his niece Changle. She has only been the Princess of Prince Gong for a few months, but the Marquis is already protecting my fourth brother like this!" Xiao Li sneered and deliberately pointed out Lu Changfeng's position in front of Emperor Bei Ling, touching the sensitive string in Emperor Bei Ling's heart.

Emperor Bei Ling's eyes wandered between Xiao Zhan and Zhenbei Hou, and murderous intent gradually grew. This rebellious son is really capable! If he had known this, he should not have listened to the Queen Mother's arrangement and let Jiang Xue marry him! In just a few months, he was able to win over Lu Changfeng. His ambition is obvious!

It seems that the plan to get rid of Lu Changfeng must be accelerated, and this rebellious son cannot be given any chance to turn things around!

At this time, Jiang Xue stood up, saluted with a smile and said: "Your Highness, Prince Li, this is wrong." Then he turned to Emperor Bei Ling and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei is not biased towards Your Highness because of Changle, but he does not want to see upright people being wronged, and he does not want Your Majesty's wisdom to be damaged.

Everyone knows that the emperor is wise and brave, able to distinguish right from wrong, and can see the slightest detail. Because of this, the emperor is feared by the people of Beiling. Now, there are villains who want to deceive the emperor, weaken the emperor's power, and alienate the emperor and his ministers, with sinister intentions.

The Marquis of Zhenbei and Lord Ye are able to distinguish right from wrong, dare to speak out, and their loyalty is evident to all. I believe the Emperor knows this very well."

Emperor Bei Ling was flattered by this compliment, and the anger that had just boiled over seemed to be extinguished by these sweet words. Yes, he is the true dragon emperor, how could he be deceived by a mere rumor and easily draw conclusions?

The originally sharp eyes like a hawk softened a little under Jiang Xue's sweet words. "Princess Gong, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!"

Xiao Li secretly gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear that sharp tongue apart. He had finally managed to arouse his father's anger, but it was extinguished by this woman's few words!

"Jun Li, you really lost a treasure." Xiao Yan said coldly through the iron mask, his eyes full of mockery. Jun Li appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was hurt by these words.

He never thought that ignoring Jiang Xue would be the thing he regretted most in his life! If he had been able to hold on to her when she was deeply in love with him, she might be the one standing next to Xiao Zhan now!

As soon as she thought of this, her jealousy towards Xiao Zhan spread like wildfire! If Xiao Zhan was gone, would she return to him? This thought was like a vine in the dark night, tightly entangling him and dragging him into deeper darkness.

"Changle, the emperor is wise and everyone knows him. There is no need to praise him so exaggeratedly. The emperor will judge whether Prince Gong is innocent or not. You should not disturb his hearing with these fancy words." The queen spoke with a bit of coercion in her words.

"Mother, Sister Changle just admires Father very much, there is no other intention."

When Xiao Gui heard the thorn in the Queen's words, he quickly stood up to speak for Jiang Xue. Lu Linyi was also afraid that the Queen would harm Jiang Xue, so he quickly agreed: "Queen, Jiang Xue is just concerned about the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Gong. I hope the Queen will not blame her."

"Oh, Prince Gong's Mansion really has a wide network of contacts. At the slightest sign of trouble, help will come from all directions.

Your Majesty, you haven't spoken yet, and so many ministers are eager to speak for Prince Gong and Princess. I really envy you." As Concubine Shu spoke, she gently put her arm around Emperor Bei Ling, and every word she said was full of thorns.

"Humph! Xiao Zhan, you have more face than I do!"

The anger of Emperor Bei Ling, which had just been calmed down by Jiang Xue's sweet words, was provoked by Concubine Shu and it rose again. He stared at Xiao Zhan with a sharp gaze, like a wolf ready to tear its prey apart.

Facing the angry glare of Emperor Bei Ling, Xiao Zhan's face was calm and his eyes were steady, without the slightest fluctuation, as if everything was under his control.

"Are you dumb? Or do you have nothing to say and have already admitted the crime?"

Emperor Bei Ling felt uneasy when he was stared at by Xiao Zhan's calm eyes. Although the eyes were ordinary, they made him feel like he was being scrutinized, as if he had become the defendant.

This look reminded him of Xiao Yunjian, the man who made him nowhere to hide! This feeling of being despised made him terrified.

In order to hide his inner panic, Emperor Bei Ling chose anger as a shield.

However, Xiao Zhan smiled slightly at this moment, and his eyes swept over those officials who fanned the flames, with a barely perceptible irony. Then, he fixed his eyes on Emperor Bei Ling and performed a standard court ceremony, with elegant movements that fully displayed the royal demeanor.

“Father, Yun Che was just thinking about how to properly respond to your question, so it took some time. Please forgive me. Now, Yun Che is willing to explain in detail to dispel everyone’s doubts.”

His voice was low and magnetic, and he was calm and composed, without any panic of being in trouble.
