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

He was also very curious about this anonymous knight and specifically ordered his men to investigate his origins.

I believe there will be results after some time.

"Master Xuanqing, are you ready?"

Early in the morning, Jun Li found Xuanqing. Xuanqing had already changed into a Taoist robe. He took out a brocade box and handed it to Xuanqing.

"This is the elixir of immortality. When you present it to the emperor, just say that you are following the order of His Royal Highness Prince Li. Do you understand? Whether His Royal Highness Prince Li can make a comeback depends entirely on you."

Ever since Xiao Li was stripped of his title and placed under house arrest, he has been keeping the elixir, waiting for the right time to present it to the emperor.

And now, the time has finally come.

Xuan Qing took the pill and leaned forward again, saying respectfully: "Fifth Prince Consort, please rest assured. I know what to do. I will follow the instructions of the Queen and live up to the expectations of the kings to complete this matter."

In fact, he cares more about his own wealth and glory. Once this elixir of immortality is presented to the emperor, he will definitely be very pleased.

By then, gold, silver, treasures, glory and wealth will naturally be within your reach.

"I'm glad I understand." Jun Li had a hint of sneer in his eyes and stepped aside to let him leave.

Looking at his back, Jun Li couldn't help but sneer, Xiao Li, your doomsday has come.

Don't worry, your sacrifice will not be in vain. You will become the most precious stepping stone for me, the prince, to rise to prominence.

At the same time, in Prince Li's mansion, Xiao Li was staring at the door anxiously, waiting for the imperial edict to restore his title.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

After a long wait, I finally heard the voice of the eunuch at the door reading the imperial edict.

Xiao Li was so excited that he could hardly control himself. When he stood up, he bumped into the wine jug on the table. Ignoring the mess on the table, he hurried to the center of the yard, his eyes fixed on the imperial edict.

He couldn't wait to snatch the imperial edict from the eunuch and, ignoring the eunuch's advice, began to read it himself.

However, the content of the imperial edict was like a bolt from the blue, striking his heart.

The ecstasy just now gradually froze, his expression became hideous and distorted, and a surge of rage drove him to use all his strength to tear the imperial edict into pieces with his bare hands.

"Impossible, impossible, how could my father let me die? Are you despicable eunuchs deliberately teasing me? Have you forged the imperial edict?" The imperial edict torn into two halves lay on the ground, and the final verdict fell into the eyes of everyone.

The second prince of the emperor, Xiao Li, presented poison. He was evil-hearted and had evil intentions. He disobeyed the emperor's order and was given a cup of poisoned wine, and was killed immediately.

There was panic in Prince Li's mansion, and everyone knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"

Disobeying the emperor's order was considered a serious crime of treason.

Once Prince Li died, the entire palace would be buried with him.

How could these servants not be afraid?

The eunuch who was caught by the collar by Xiao Li watched his madness coldly, kicked him in the vitals, looked at his face turning blue in pain, and raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: "Your Highness the Second Prince, you are so noble, a eunuch like us will taint your noble hands!"

Eunuchs have their own defects and hate being called eunuchs the most.

In the past, Xiao Li was high and mighty, and they could only swallow their anger, but now, they were waiting to die, and they naturally had to repay the past humiliation double.

"Why are you all standing there? Get started! Otherwise, if the emperor blames us, who will be able to take the blame?"

As soon as the eunuch who announced the decree gave the order, there was a bloody storm in the palace.

"Princess, something big has happened in the palace."

Fu Dong went to the market to buy vegetables early in the morning. When he heard the news that all the people in Li Wang’s mansion had died, he was shocked and ran back to inform Jiang Xue.

"Yes, Yun Che told me when he came back."

Jiang Xue replied that Xiao Zhan told her the whole story after he returned home from the morning court session.

I heard that early this morning, Xuanqing, a Taoist priest under Xiao Li, presented a so-called elixir of immortality to Emperor Bei Ling in the name of Xiao Li.

Emperor Bei Ling pursued immortality all his life and was extremely superstitious about Taoism. In addition, before Xiao Li was stripped of his title, he often brought Xuan Qing into the palace to make himself familiar to him, so Emperor Bei Ling trusted him quite a bit and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

As a result, when the morning court was halfway through, Emperor Bei Ling suddenly felt unwell, dizzy, and even began to vomit black blood, which scared the ministers in the court out of their wits.

In the end, it was Jun Li who summoned the imperial physician for emergency treatment in time and barely saved Emperor Bei Ling's life.

After this incident, Emperor Bei Ling looked at Jun Li with new eyes, and Xiao Li was executed for endangering the monarch and treason. As for Xuan Qing and all the maids and servants in Prince Li's mansion, they were naturally buried with their master.

Rebellion and treason!

Jiang Xue silently savored these four words in her heart.

Historically, princes were often sentenced to death because they were accused of treason.

However, to be accused of this crime usually requires solid evidence, unless a prince is really determined to rebel.

Does Xiao Li have any reason to rebel?

Jiang Xue searched her mind, but couldn't seem to find a reasonable explanation.

He is the biological son of Emperor Beiling, and the only prince registered under the name of the Queen.

Although he is not a biological son, he can be considered a legitimate son in this case, and is the oldest prince in Beiling today.

Emperor Bei Ling also intends to cultivate him, and he has a group of staunch supporters in the court.

Theoretically speaking, if nothing unexpected happens, the throne of Beiling will fall on him sooner or later.

Why would he take the risk and choose the path of rebellion?

"Fudong also heard that the prince of Xichen was specially named the King of Beiling with a different surname and given the title of King Rui by the Emperor of Beiling because of his meritorious service in saving the emperor." Fudong added.

In the royal families of various countries, it is almost an unwritten rule not to allow outsiders to interfere with the throne. However, Jun Li, as a member of the Xichen royal family, became the king of Beiling with a different surname. This really created a precedent in the history of the Ten Kingdoms.

Such glory was something he had never achieved even in his previous life when he was at the peak of his career. Unexpectedly, he realized it in this life.

Jiang Xue sneered. It seemed that Jun Li was planning to carve out a niche for himself in the land of Beiling.

This is good, it allows her to see how much Jun Li has improved compared to his previous life.

"Princess, His Highness is still in the study discussing important matters with Lord Ye. Tell Your Highness not to wait for him and enjoy lunch first."

Tieyi came over to deliver a message on behalf of Xiao Zhan, holding a basket with some bottles and jars in it.

He glanced at Xiaochun from time to time, and Xiaochun also looked reluctant. Jiang Xue understood and smiled: "Xiaochun, it's time to change your medicine. Go ahead."

Although it is unclear when the two fell in love, she is happy to create opportunities for them to be alone.

After all, Xiaochun had suffered too much with her in the previous life, and she didn't want her to suffer again in this life.

"Thank you, Princess." Xiaochun, a girl who couldn't hide her thoughts, showed her joy on her face.

She saluted cheerfully, winked at Tieyi, and the two of them left.
