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

Wan Youdao treated his wife with great respect and took great care of her! Everything in the Wan family, big or small, had to go through Mrs. Wan's hands.

It is conceivable how important Mrs. Wan's position in the Wan family is, needless to say.

"In the current situation, Xiao Zhan's network of contacts is already very extensive. He controls the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Dali Temple. In addition, there are 300,000 Iron Cloud Army behind Changle. If he can win over the Wan family, it will be even more difficult for us to compete with him."

Jun Li carefully analyzed the power comparison between the two sides, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

A few days ago, the spies he sent out reported that Nan Jingxing, the major general of the Nan family, seemed to be very close to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, which made Jun Li feel suspicious.

The Nan family and the Gu family are rivals on the surface, but if they are just pretending and colluding in private, wouldn’t Xiao Zhan have another powerful general under his command?

This must never happen.

On our side, let’s not talk about whether we can convince Wu Meifeng to let her father and brother mobilize the 100,000 Wu family troops. Even if we can, together with the 100,000 palace soldiers under Xiao Huan’s command, it is still a big gap compared to the 300,000 Tieyun troops.

Moreover, all the forces Xiao Huan controls now are those he took over from Xiao Li and Xiao Yan. Shaofu Chen En is Xiao Li's old subordinate, and Weiwei Feng Bing used to follow Xiao Yan. These two have bad habits left by their previous masters, and it is really not easy to use them.

Only the newly appointed Grand Coachman Ma Yi does not belong to any faction and can be used well.

"Don't worry, the Wan family won't choose sides just because of this little favor." Xiao Huan put down the teacup and swept his sharp eyes over Jun Li: "The Wan family has not been involved in politics. The reason they can stand firm in Yujing City is not because they casually interfere in the affairs of the royal family. Even if Jiang Xue and Madam Wan become besties, it doesn't mean that the Wan family is willing to bet the fate of the Wan and Qian families on the battle for the throne."

Xiao Huan's words made sense, Jun Li nodded: "Your Highness, what you said makes sense, it seems that I was too worried."

"It's not that I'm overly worried." Xiao Huan smiled coldly: "The Wan family may not participate in this gamble, but the debt of favor is owed. In this world, debts can be repaid, but debts of favor, haha, are not so easy to repay."

Xiao Huan put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, looked up at the dark cloud slowly approaching in the sky, and smiled strangely: "Speaking of which, the preparations for the hunt are almost done. It's time to go and see my prey."

Jun Li stared at his back with a gloomy face, and clenched his hands behind his back into fists.

Is he going to attack Xiaoxue?

"Princess, the white dog was lying on the ground, why did it suddenly rush towards the emperor?"

In the carriage back to the palace, Xiaochun's mind was full of questions. She remembered clearly that the white dog was pierced by the princess with a golden needle and was lying on the ground almost dying. How come it was alive and kicking again in the blink of an eye? Was it a last gasp?

Jiang Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "That golden needle is the magic weapon to subdue that beast."

Then the secret was revealed: "Wu Meifeng pulled out the golden needle, wanting to use it as evidence to get the Beiling Emperor to judge me. But she didn't know that pulling out the golden needle was equivalent to letting the beast go. The dog's nose was very sensitive, and the medicine Wu Meifeng had given it before made it very excited. Naturally, it would follow the scent of the golden needle to find her. The Beiling Emperor was injured and was also implicated."

However, he was implicated because of his own fault. Who made him want to attack me?

Moreover, this incident provided her with an opportunity to avoid punishment.

She also has to thank Wu Meifeng for her arrogance, otherwise she would have to find other ways to get out of this situation, which really saved her a lot of trouble.

"That woman is so cruel, she actually drugged the dog!" Fu Dong gritted his teeth in anger.

"From the moment she invited me to the palace, I knew this meal would not be good. I just didn't expect that Miss Fang would be involved."

Thinking of Miss Wan's scream when she was bitten, Jiang Xue couldn't help but shake her head, full of sympathy.

"Miss Wan is so pitiful." Xiaochun had a good impression of the innocent girl and felt sorry for her injury.

"Fortunately, Mrs. Wan was quick-witted and decisively pulled Miss Wan back. If it had been a little later, the hand might have been lost." Jiang Xue said.

The master and his two servants chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

As soon as she got off the car, Jiang Xue was hugged tightly by a pair of warm arms. The familiar scent of ambergris filled her nose, making her feel extremely at ease.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you are finally back. If you were a quarter of an hour later, Fourth Brother would have broken into the palace to grab the person."

Xiao Yun stood behind Xiao Zhan and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her return safely.

"Robbering someone?" Jiang Xue gently pushed Xiao Zhan away, put some distance between them, and looked up at him in confusion.

"I heard that Wu Meifeng's mad dog bit someone in the palace. Xiao Yan has convicted you and wants to hand you over to the Inner Court for handling."

When he heard the news, he was extremely anxious. He didn't even listen to Qing Feng's words. He picked up his sword and dragged Xiao Yun, who came to the palace to discuss hunting, to go into the palace to rescue people.

As he stepped out of the room, he happened to see Jiang Xue jumping lightly out of the carriage. In a moment of desperation, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"Don't worry, even if this palace is as deep as a valley, I will never let myself get hurt."

Knowing that Xiao Zhan was concerned about her, Jiang Xue felt sweet and warm inside.

She held his face tenderly and said word by word: "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. How can I stop here?"

These words, like a spring breeze, gently touched the softest part of Xiao Zhan's heart.

All the worries just now were blown away by her smile like a spring breeze. Xiao Zhan put away the sword in his hand and handed it to the butler who was smiling brightly beside him.

He held hers with a big hand, nodded, and then led her into the mansion step by step.

"Okay, old butler, stop putting on that kind auntie smile and help Fourth Brother pack his luggage. We have plenty of things to do." Xiao Yun put his arm around the butler's shoulder and playfully handed his sword to the butler.

After saying that, he followed his brother and sister-in-law and ran towards the study room happily.

All preparations for the hunting were ready under the management of Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yun. Three days later, members of the royal family and princes and nobles set out for the hunting grounds.

The hunting ground is not too far from the palace, but it still takes some time to get there.

The royal motorcade was extremely luxurious and the entire team was majestic. For safety reasons, they deliberately chose a spacious official road to allow the people along the way to witness the royal majesty.

"This display doesn't look like your work."

In the carriage of Prince Gong's Mansion, Jiang Xue lowered the curtains and said.

Xiao Zhan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes when he heard her words: "My eighth brother and I are only responsible for the affairs within the hunting grounds. As for the pomp and ceremony at the hunting grounds, it was Jun Li who specifically requested it from Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan loved face the most, and this grand scene was exactly what he wanted.

Jun Li's move really pleased the emperor.
