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

At Xiaochun's prompting, she came to her senses, got out of the car and walked into the mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she caught the housekeeper of the palace and asked, "Where is the prince?"

"Reporting to the princess, the prince is still in the palace and has not returned home yet." The butler replied.

"When the prince comes back, tell him to come to the study immediately. I have something urgent to discuss with him."

After saying that, she walked straight to Xiao Zhan's study, leaving the confused housekeeper looking at her back.

What is this about? The princess looks serious. Has something serious happened?

"My Lord, you are finally back."

It was the hour of Xu when Xiao Zhan rushed back from the palace. As soon as he stepped into the mansion, the housekeeper hurried to greet him.

"Your Highness, the princess has been waiting for you in the study for more than an hour. She told you to go there as soon as you return, saying that she has something important to discuss with you." The butler succinctly relayed Jiang Xue's words.

"Got it." Xiao Zhan nodded and walked towards the study with firm steps.

"Xiaoxue, what happened?"

When I pushed open the door of the study, I saw Jiang Xue holding her cheek with her hand, staring at the letter in her hand with a frown.

"Look at this." She handed him the letter.

"Were the people from Shuoyue Sect discovered by Xiao Huan?"

The letter roughly stated that the whereabouts of the Shuoyue Gate in Yujing City had been found, and Xiao Huan planned to wipe them out at midnight tonight.

Xiao Zhan quickly glanced through the contents of the letter and raised his eyebrows slightly. Xiao Huan had only been back for a short time, but he had already figured out the details of the Shuoyue Sect so quickly?

"What do you think?" Jiang Xue looked at him and asked.

"The authenticity of this matter is questionable."

Xiao Huan is indeed very capable, but the Shuoyue Sect is no pushover either. After all, they were trained by Nangong Yue herself. Moreover, after the last crackdown by the imperial court and the reminder from Prince Gong's Mansion, the disciples who stayed in Yujing City acted extremely cautiously and could not be easily discovered.

Even for an organization as powerful as Linglong Pavilion, it would be very difficult to track down their whereabouts, let alone Xiao Huan, who had just returned and had not yet established his power?

"I think the same as you. I am also skeptical about this matter." Jiang Xue said.

She didn't know much about Xiao Huan's abilities, but she knew the strength of Shuoyue Sect very well.

If they were so easily dealt with by a guy who just returned to Beijing, how could Nangong Yue be willing to leave his people behind and run to Qian Country to help her collect intelligence?

"How did you get this letter?" What Xiao Zhan wanted to know most was the origin of the letter.

So Jiang Xue told him all the details of what happened in the palace today.

"Hey, this is really rare. A follower actually carries his master's silk handkerchief with him. Isn't he afraid of being discovered and ruining his master's reputation?" When Xiao Zhan heard Xiaochun take out the silk handkerchief from Jue, he felt that something was wrong.

The gray-clad man whose identity is unknown, Wu Meifeng's silk handkerchief, and the letter hidden inside.

A smell of conspiracy hits my nose.

"I carefully observed Wu Meifeng's attitude towards the gray-clothed man, and it didn't seem very nice. Besides, Wu Meifeng is vain and would never be interested in such a powerless follower. Therefore, this silk handkerchief could not have been given to him by Wu Meifeng.

On the contrary, that guy was extremely respectful to Wu Meifeng, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he obeyed her orders. If he stole the handkerchief from Wu Meifeng, would he not be able to see that there was a letter wrapped in the handkerchief?

Given his loyalty to Wu Meifeng, it is unlikely that he stole the handkerchief. In this case, the only explanation for the handkerchief appearing on his body is that it was deliberately placed on him. "

Jiang Xue explained her reasoning. This was the most reasonable explanation she had thought about for a long time.

"If your guess is correct, then Jun Li and the others deliberately let you find and take away this letter, with the purpose of making us lose our composure." Following Jiang Xue's thoughts, Xiao Zhan continued to analyze.

Now the Emperor of Beiling is searching for people who have connections with the Shuoyue Sect. Xiao Huan must have learned about the relationship between him and Nangong Yue from Jun Li, so he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to lure him out and destroy the Shuoyue Sect and him in one fell swoop.

"Your Highness, Princess, I need someone to go check out the situation at Shuoyue Gate and see if the contents of the letter are true."

Listening to his masters' speculations, Tieyi volunteered to investigate the situation.

"No." Jiang Xue stopped him immediately.

Why? Tieyi looked puzzled. Instead of guessing blindly, wouldn't it be better to verify it directly?

"If Xiao Huan and his men really let Xiao Xue get this letter, then there must be a lot of Xiao Huan's spies outside our house. Once you go out to find the Shuoyue Gate, they will follow you to find your real hiding place, and then you will be in real trouble.

When the time comes, we will be charged with harboring criminals and colluding with the rebels, and none of the hundreds of people in Prince Gong's Mansion will be able to escape."

Xiao Zhan gave Tieyi a perfect explanation on behalf of Jiang Xue.

When Tieyi heard this, his heart suddenly shook and a drop of cold sweat silently slid down his temple.

If His Highness hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have thought of this! He had heard before that the Seventh Prince was ruthless and cunning, and today he had completely experienced it. This interlocking scheme clearly showed that he was determined to put His Highness to death.

"Princess, Your Highness, what should we do now?" Xiaochun asked.

I can't just sit here, I have to think of a way.

"I thought about it for a long time and finally came up with an idea."

From the time she received the letter until Xiao Zhan came back, Jiang Xue was not idle. She had been racking her brains to think of a solution.

"This plan is a bit complicated. Everyone in each link needs to grasp the timing and cooperate tacitly."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced back and forth between her two maids and Xiao Zhan's two guards.

The four people in front of her were the ones she and Xiao Zhan trusted the most. She felt at ease leaving things to them.

"Princess, please give me your orders. I will not let you down!"

Tieyi and Qingfeng understood the meaning of her eyes, bowed their heads, and waited respectfully for her instructions.

The two of them admired their princess very much, and the princess' plan was absolutely reliable.

Seeing that his two picky guards trusted Jiang Xue so much, Xiao Zhan also felt proud of his princess.

He looked up, smiled at Jiang Xue, and nodded slightly.

"Okay, next, you guys do as I say..."

After some detailed arrangements, half an hour later, the door of the study was pushed open, and Tieyi was the first to rush out of the palace gate.

"Oh? Tieyi left the house?"

In Prince Huan's mansion, Xiao Huan was twirling a jade ring on his finger. When he heard the news from the spy, he glanced at Jun Li with a half-smile.

"Send a few people who are good at light skills, don't lose them." Jun Li gave the order immediately.

Tieyi is a well-known cloud-walking master in Yujing City, and his lightness skills are first-class. This time, Xiao Huan specially selected several spies with nimble legs and outstanding lightness skills, with the purpose of keeping up with Tieyi's pace.
