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

"Father, I am willing to help!"

"Father, Anle is also willing to contribute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the brother and sister Xiao Yun and Xiao Gui took the lead in expressing their opinions, setting a good example!

Their actions acted as a fuse, and other princes and princesses also responded and expressed their willingness to donate money.

As the eldest brother, Xiao Yan has a noble status and a generous salary. He cannot hide behind at this time!

Under the watchful eyes of the public, he gritted his teeth and donated the painful 100,000 taels, just to buy a reputation of "loyalty and filial piety"!

"Your Majesty, five hundred thousand taels, all collected."

The chief eunuch counted the donations from the princes and princesses. With everyone's help, the target amount was reached in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm." Emperor Bei Ling rubbed his brows and responded in a muffled voice. It was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the previous shock and was not very concerned about the subsequent developments.

For him, as long as the money was there, he didn't bother to care how it was raised.

Thus, the silver dispute came to a temporary end.

Everyone returned to their seats. Emperor Bei Ling half-leaned on the dragon throne, looking at the dance on the stage with a dazed look, his eyes revealing fatigue.

Xiao Yan felt sorry for the lost 100,000 taels, and drank glass after glass, glaring fiercely at where Jiang Xue was from time to time.

This woman has gone against me time and time again. She is so hateful!

He wanted to destroy her right away, in front of Xiao Zhan, ruthlessly!

Just as Xiao Yun was burning with anger, a servant beside him leaned in and whispered a few words to him.

A cold and cunning smile flashed through the cracks in the iron mask, flashing a calculating light! Jiang Xue, Xiao Zhan, you must open your eyes and appreciate the great gift I am about to present!

"Father, this song and dance is really mediocre. I am willing to present you with a special gift, which may bring you a surprise!" Xiao Yan interrupted the song and dance, respectfully saluted and proposed to Emperor Bei Ling.

Emperor Bei Ling looked at his iron-faced son, then glanced at the dancers on the stage and sighed, "This song and dance is indeed lackluster, and I am a little bored. Well, since Prince Duan is so thoughtful, I will agree to let your gift add color to the banquet."

He really needed something new to change his mood.

Xiao Yan stood up and clapped his hands. After the crisp applause, two servants slowly walked in carrying a gorgeously decorated sedan chair.

The sound of crisp bells could be faintly heard from the sedan chair, and the air was filled with an unusual fragrance, which made Jiang Xue frown.

After hearing the sound, Xiao Zhan put down his wine glass, and the relaxed smile on his face instantly faded, turning serious. He and Jiang Xue looked at each other briefly, and then his eyes focused on the mysterious sedan.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?" Xiao Yun noticed that Xiao Zhan looked unusual, so he approached with concern and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Zhan did not respond, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of coldness that should not be underestimated.

"Mo Chen, what's in it?" Emperor Bei Ling's curiosity was completely aroused, and he was eager to know the secret in the sedan.

"Father, the person in the sedan is not a simple person!" Xiao Yan pretended to be mysterious as she lifted the curtain of the sedan, revealing her affectionate look to everyone! Silver bells were tied to her hands and feet, and every time she moved, a pleasant bell sounded.

Every slight movement was accompanied by the clear and pleasant sound of bells. She was wearing a simple and elegant winter-colored robe, dotted with a few light blue petals embroidered on it. Her delicate face looked even more extraordinary against the background of the clothes.

Today, unlike usual, she was barefoot, and her crystal clear toes were as tempting as pearls. Zhong Qing was desperate at the moment. How could a woman show her feet to others? This was a secret that was only for her husband to appreciate! Xiao Yan forced her not to wear shoes, which was undoubtedly to humiliate her in front of everyone!

"Father, this is the top performer in Tingfeng Tower, the famous Miss Zhongqing!"

Xiao Yan looked at Zhong Qing's face full of humiliation and felt secretly proud in his heart.

"Prince Duan, how can you bring such a vulgar prostitute into the palace? You are too rude!" The queen frowned and moved back in disdain, as if Zhong Qing's presence polluted the air. Zhong Qing's face turned pale instantly. The words "prostitute" and "vulgar" were like sharp swords piercing her heart, making her tremble all over.

"If it was an ordinary prostitute, I would not do this. But she is actually the orphan of the Zhong family, a family of zither artists in Liang country! Although Liang country is small, many people may have forgotten about it, but you, fourth brother, should have a deep impression of it."

After all, Xiao Zhan's mother, Qin Huaisu, was the princess of Liang. Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Zhan with a provocative look, uncovering his old scars, and watching him rarely lose his smile, he felt a surge of pleasure in his heart.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Xiao Yan seemed to be unsatisfied. He moved closer to Zhong Qing and openly reached into her pocket. Then he opened his palm, and a delicate and small dice lay there.

“Father, Zhong Qing is still a member of Linglong Pavilion.

Oh, speaking of those guys from Linglong Pavilion...Emperor Bei Ling's eyes became stern and murderous.

You know, Linglong Pavilion is the intelligence boss in the world. They have as many secrets as the stars in the sky, and they know the details of all countries! Especially the historical black materials of the Beiling royal family that cannot be seen in the light, all of which are in their hands.

Because of this, Emperor Bei Ling had long hated Linglong Pavilion and dreamed of destroying them! Over the years, he was busy clearing out the forces in the martial arts world, saying that he was maintaining the stability of his rule, but in fact, he was just thinking about destroying Linglong Pavilion and burying these ugly things forever!

Xiao Yan saw through Zhong Qing's thoughts at a glance, so he deliberately revealed that Zhong Qing was from Linglong Pavilion.

As long as he has anything to do with Linglong Pavilion, he doesn't believe that Emperor Bei Ling won't have the intention to kill him!

Jiang Xue, just wait and see, this fire will soon burn you! When that happens, I wonder how you can still pretend to be calm!

Xiao Yan had a provocative look on his face, staring at the dignified and calm Jiang Xue sitting at the female seat, wishing he could see her panic-stricken look right away!

"That's right, father. I just had a sudden impulse a few days ago and invited Miss Zhong Qing to our house for fun. That's when I accidentally discovered this secret." As he said this, he handed the exquisite dice to the eunuch in charge beside him.

The mechanism of the dice was designed quite cleverly. Emperor Bei Ling searched for a long time but couldn't find the switch, so he couldn't peek into the contents.

"You, open this thing for me." He leaned forward and stretched out his hand holding the dice.

Outsiders had no way of knowing how to open the dice. Emperor Bei Ling did not want to make a fool of himself in front of so many people, so he pointed at Zhong Qing and gave orders coldly.

Zhong Qing lowered her head and said nothing, not obeying the order of Emperor Bei Ling.

"Are you going to disobey the imperial edict?" A threatening tone came over me.

Zhong Qing's shoulders trembled slightly, and she was a little scared, but still did not react.
