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

"What happened? Is there any change in the palace?"

Jiang Xue walked forward and asked softly.

Looking at the slightly pale face of the person in front of him, Xiao Zhan was silent for a while, and finally sighed and revealed what happened to her: "Last night, there were problems in Chongyi Palace and Zhaoyi Palace."

problem occurs?

Jiang Xue's right eyelid twitched suddenly. How could this happen...

"Last night at midnight, the Queen found the intimate letters written by Ye Zhaoyi to the Marquis of Zhenbei in the Zhaoyi Palace, and several maids testified. Xiao Yan was furious and ordered to strip Ye Zhaoyi of her title and hand her over to the Inner Court for interrogation and torture, intending to force Empress Zhaoyi to admit that she had an affair with the Marquis of Zhenbei.

When Master Ye learned about this, he rushed to the palace last night to ask for an audience with the emperor, and is still kneeling outside the Xuchen Palace. As for the Chongyi Palace..."

Speaking of Chongyi Palace, Xiao Zhan paused and turned his gaze to Jiang Xue: "Xiaochun broke into Chongyi Palace late at night, causing Jiang Chongyi to be frightened, the fetus was unstable, and eventually miscarried.

Empress Chongyi was devastated and fainted, and has not yet regained consciousness. Xiaochun was arrested by the Weiwei Mansion and imprisoned awaiting trial."

These two pieces of news were like thunderbolts from a clear sky, shocking Jiang Xue's heart!

Who could have imagined that in just one night, the palace would be turned upside down and major events would occur one after another!

"Both things happened at midnight last night?" Jiang Xue asked.

"That's right." Xiao Zhan nodded in confirmation.

Last night at midnight... it was when she was being tortured to death by the blood poison. If the blood poison had not taken effect at that time, she might have been able to rush to the palace in time and avoid all this tragedy from happening!

"The people in the inner court are vicious and cruel. The delicate body of Concubine Zhaoyi cannot withstand such torture.

And Xiaochun fell into Feng Bing's hands. Feng Bing was once Xiao Yan's subordinate. The feud between him and us is known to the world. It would be strange if Xiaochun could have an easy life in his hands. "Jiang Xue lowered her head and muttered to herself, seeing through the situation of the two.

She was worried whether Xiaochun could survive Feng Bing's torture. She was also worried that Ye Zhaoyi would be tortured into confessing by the inner court, which would in turn implicate her uncle who was far away on the border of Northern Xi.

But worrying alone will not solve the problem. The most urgent thing right now is to save lives!

In order to get the Internal Court and the Guards to release the people, the Emperor Bei Ling must give the order personally. Jiang Xue thought about it and decided that there was only one person in the entire palace who could lend a helping hand.

“Yun Che, I have to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother.”

Jiang Xue raised her head and looked directly into Xiao Zhan's eyes, her tone firm.

"I have the same plan."

Xiao Zhan nodded in agreement. At this point, the only person who could make Emperor Bei Ling give in was the Queen Mother!

On the way to the palace, Jiang Xue was silent, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't make sense of them.

Xiaochun was specially arranged by her to protect Ye Zhaoyi in Zhaoyi Palace, so how could she show up in Zhaoyi Palace? And how did she alarm Jiang Chongyi who was pregnant?

She had been to Ye Zhaoyi's bedroom and did not find any hidden letters. Besides, Ye Zhaoyi had just been punished by Emperor Beiling because of rumors. Even if there was some unfinished love between her and her uncle, with her personality, she would never communicate with each other during such a sensitive period.

"It's really unbelievable." Jiang Xue whispered, expressing her confusion.

"These two things are indeed full of doubts." Xiao Zhan felt the same way. Two seemingly unrelated events happened so coincidentally at the same time. Jiang Chongyi and Ye Zhaoyi, one was pregnant with the emperor's seed and had been the apple of everyone's eye for a year; the other was both talented and beautiful and came from a noble family.

The common point between the two is that they have received far more favor than other concubines, which has long caused jealousy in the harem. Now that the two are in trouble at the same time, all the concubines in the harem have motives to take action.

"There must be a close connection behind these two things." Jiang Xue's intuition flashed through her mind like an electric current.

Wu Meifeng's figure suddenly appeared in her thoughts.

Wu Meifeng, if you are really behind this, you'd better be mentally prepared.

As soon as they entered the palace, the two of them rushed straight to the Empress Dowager's Luanyi Hall.

The steady old lady was sitting on a high seat. When she saw the two of them, she looked calm, as if she had expected them to come.

"Royal Grandmother."

The two of them saluted, called out respectfully, then stood up and looked at the Queen Mother.

"I think you two both know what happened last night."

The old lady's tone sounded more like she was stating a fact.

“Empress Dowager, the events in Zhaoyi Palace and Zhaoyi Hall are extremely bizarre. I think that we should let the parties involved confront each other publicly and get to the bottom of the whole matter.

Empress Zhaoyi has been in the palace for many years, and her character is well known to both the Imperial Grandmother and her grandson. If she really has any connection with Marquis Zhenbei, she would not be able to hide it given her personality.

As for the incident in Chongyi Palace, it was even more confusing. Xiaochun was just a little girl, and had nothing to do with Jiang Chongyi. There was no grudge between them, so how could she bump into Jiang Chongyi for no reason?

There may be some misunderstanding. If we hand her over to the Weiwei without asking for clarification, and the news gets out, our Beiling royal family will be seen as confused and unable to distinguish right from wrong, which will damage the royal prestige."

Xiao Zhan's words were powerful and reasonable. The Queen Mother listened without changing her expression and did not respond immediately.

She turned her eyes to Jiang Xue who was standing beside her. She saw that she hadn't said a word since she entered the door, which was not consistent with her personality.

This child has restrained himself a lot since the winter banquet, but no one can shake the stubbornness in his bones.

Although she hadn't had much contact with Jiang Xue these days, the old lady was watching her every move.

She was smart and articulate, and if anyone offended someone she cared about, this child would show no mercy.

What's more, the person involved this time is her personal maid, who I heard grew up with her and they have a deep relationship.

Could she just stand by and watch? If she could, she wouldn't be standing here now.

"Changle, what do you think?" The Queen Mother did not rush to express her opinion, but instead threw the topic to Jiang Xue.

She wanted to see how the child would respond.

"Empress Dowager, Changle only wants to find out the facts." Jiang Xue replied with her head down.

"Facts..." As a senior figure in the Beiling Palace, the Queen Mother felt deeply about the word "facts".

"Changle, you have to know that the truth in the palace sometimes requires your life."

The Queen Mother had experienced many ups and downs in the Beiling Palace, and she knew the price of "truth" better than anyone else.

Many times, revealing a fact means making great sacrifices.

"Empress Dowager, if we give up pursuing the truth because we are afraid of the price, and allow our eyes to be deceived and our loved ones to be wronged, then what else can we believe in in this world?

Changle believes that the truth should be a weapon for us to protect the people we love, not a plague that we should avoid because we are afraid of the cost. "Jiang Xue's words hit the Queen Mother's heart like a heavy hammer, leaving her speechless for a moment.

Although this child is young, he has a depth beyond his age, like a wise man who has experienced many hardships.
