Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 299: Escape from the Clutches
It’s actually much harder than I imagined.
Just now Feng Qiyuan told her that this woman didn't understand human nature and was stupid.
As a result, as soon as she entered the palace and faced off for the first time, she was defeated.
What's even more infuriating is that the Prince Gong who was beside Jiang Xue was nothing like the legendary playboy who only knew how to flirt with other women all day long.
If she continued like this, how could she possibly kill Jiang Xue and complete the task assigned to her by Feng Qiyuan?
Just when Wu Meifeng was feeling anxious and angry, Emperor Bei Ling was touched by the Queen Mother's words.
He cannot tolerate his authority being questioned.
He climbed onto the throne with great difficulty, and his majesty could not be easily shaken by others.
"The Queen Mother is right." Emperor Bei Ling pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, then pointed at Xiao Chun who was kneeling on the ground and said word by word: "I will give you a chance now. Tell me why you appeared in Chongyi Palace and why you ran into Jiang Chongyi. Tell me everything in detail, not a single word can be left out!"
Seeing that Emperor Bei Ling's tone had softened, Jiang Xue stepped aside and looked at Xiaochun, watching her slowly speak.
"Your Majesty, I was originally ordered by the princess to serve Ye Zhaoyi in Zhaoyi Palace. But at night, when I was fetching water for Ye Zhaoyi, someone suddenly attacked me from behind. In order to defend myself, I fought with that person.
During the fight, the other party took out a bag of powder from somewhere and sprinkled it on my face. I knew nothing! When I woke up, I found myself in Chongyi Palace, and not far away was Empress Chongyi lying in a pool of blood.
Xiaochun recalled the scene at that time and told her everything that happened in detail.
"Lost consciousness? Woke up in Chongyi Palace? Xiaochun, this sounds like a plot from a novel. It seems a bit out of place now."
Wu Meifeng frowned and pretended to be distressed and spoke softly. A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and she glanced at Jiang Xue with a squint: "Sister Changle, you have to persuade Xiaochun. The emperor kindly gave her a chance to explain. Even if she is reluctant to admit it, she can't make up such a crude lie, right?
In this way, wouldn't it be a betrayal of the emperor's kindness and a deception of the king? This is a serious crime. If I'm not careful, it may implicate you, Sister Changle."
"You insolent slave! How dare you fool me with such a clumsy lie! It seems that you are tired of living! Come here! No need to interrogate! This slave is full of nonsense, the crime of deceiving the emperor! He must be executed! To serve as a warning to others!"
After that, he glared at Jiang Xue fiercely: "As for Princess Gong, she failed to discipline her properly and intentionally shielded the criminal slave. The Inner Court will take her away! Twenty strokes of the cane! This will serve as a lesson!"
As the order was issued, Wu Meifeng was overjoyed.
Twenty strokes of the cane was a fatal punishment for Jiang Xue's delicate skin.
Ha! Jiang Xue, you are doomed to fail this time! Just accept the punishment! I can't wait to hear your miserable screams.
At Emperor Bei Ling's command, the guards outside the door filed in and divided into two teams. One team unceremoniously grabbed Xiaochun, while the other team approached Jiang Xue.
"Princess Gong, I'm sorry."
The leading guard sneered and reached out to grab Jiang Xue.
However, before his hand could touch her, he was knocked to the ground by a powerful force.
"Ouch!" He fell on the ground with his four legs up in the air, like a turtle that couldn't turn over, and kept screaming.
"Xiao Zhan! What are you doing?"
Emperor Bei Ling gritted his teeth, glared at Xiao Zhan, and asked harshly.
"My princess is very precious. I cannot bear to see her get hurt, so how can I let other servants do that to her?"
He did not call Emperor Bei Ling "father", nor did he call himself a son. His cold eyes were fixed directly on Emperor Bei Ling.
Although he did not show any aggressive aura on the outside, the powerful sense of oppression he exuded made Emperor Bei Ling almost breathless.
Wu Meifeng and Jun Li on the side also clearly felt that Xiao Zhan's aura was different from the past. Besides being shocked, they felt a little afraid of him in their hearts.
Ever since Xiao Zhan began to show his prowess, his power has grown rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
The Marquis of Zhenbei, the Minister of Dali Temple, Prince An, and even the Court Justice Shi Lin Wenxing, who was far away in Yunzhou and had become famous in three months, all joined him.
Xiao Zhan now holds great power and is no longer the idle prince known for his romantic life.
Therefore, when facing Emperor Bei Ling, he does not need to hide his strength as before, but can confront him head-on like he is now.
Compared with Xiao Zhan's triumphant life, Jun Li's current situation seems particularly bleak.
Originally, after marrying Xiao Min, he could naturally get closer to the center of imperial power in Beiling and cultivate his own power.
However, before he had the chance to break into the aristocratic circle, Xiao Min passed away. Not only did this disrupt his plans, but he also had to endure Concubine De's crying and wailing every day, which made him upset.
What's worse is that because of Xiao Li's efforts these days, the Queen treated him as a cheap errand boy and ordered him around at will.
You know, Jun Li is also the prince of Xichen, and like Xiao Li, he is a royal noble! But now he is ordered around by these people and treated like an animal.
The huge gap between the two dealt Jun Li's self-esteem an unprecedented blow.
He stared at Xiao Zhan, watching this once unpopular playboy calmly respond in front of Emperor Bei Ling, and watching Jiang Xue's admiring eyes turn to Xiao Zhan. The jealousy in his heart grew wildly like weeds, ravaging his soul.
No, he couldn't lose! The cry in his heart vibrated his eardrums, and an unprecedented desire to win overwhelmed all his rationality.
He must not lose to his old enemy Xiao Zhan! Never! He must prove to Jiang Xue that he is the one she should love! He is a truly strong man.
Under the current circumstances, few people noticed Jun Li's condition. Although Xiao Zhan noticed that there was something strange in the look he gave him, he did not pay much attention to it.
He walked to Jiang Xue and half-huggled her into his arms. This action was announcing to everyone that he was Jiang Xue's protector! He would not allow anyone to hurt her.
"Your Highness Prince Gong is so caring towards Sister Changle, it's really enviable. But Your Highness Prince Gong, no matter how much you favor Sister Changle, you still have to distinguish right from wrong.
Since Sister Changle has made a mistake, she should accept the punishment, so that she can win the support of the people. Otherwise, how will Sister Changle survive in the palace in the future?"
Wu Meifeng spoke softly, and every word she spoke seemed to be for Jiang Xue's sake.
Her eyes were like water, showing an elegant attitude that was sensible and sensible.
If it were anyone else, who could resist the charm of such a woman who could distinguish right from wrong?
Wu Meifeng is confident in her charm, because her gentle appearance is almost indestructible in front of men.
As far as I can remember, no man could escape her clutches as long as she wanted.
