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

These women praised Emperor Beiling to the skies with one word after another, making him feel elated.

Anyway, his goal was to find a reason to send Xiao Zhan to exile in the north. Jiang Xue's surrender just helped him achieve his goal. In this case, there was really no need to compete between the two maids. Letting them go could also earn him a good reputation for being benevolent. Why not do it?

"No! Your Majesty, this martial arts competition is a big deal, how can it be ended so casually? If it ends without a winner, won't it just keep people on suspense? Even if Princess Gong admits defeat, we still have to have a happy ending, right?"

As soon as Wu Meifeng saw that Emperor Beiling seemed to be giving in, she immediately jumped out to object.

She hadn't dealt enough with Jiang Xue and her maid yet, so how could she let them get away like that?

"Princess Qinwen, what you said is not right. Princess Gong has already admitted defeat, so the case is closed. If we continue the competition, it will be a waste of effort and time."

Ye Zhaoyi would not tolerate Wu Meifeng. She, Ye Rong, despised such women who loved to play shady tricks.

Moreover, this woman targeted Jiang Xue, who had done her a favor. Of course, Ye Zhaoyi had to stand up and speak up for her benefactor.

"What Concubine Zhaoyi said makes sense." Ninth Princess Xiao Gui also stood on Concubine Ye's side: "Fourth sister-in-law has already admitted defeat, and the competition is over. Why is Princess Qinwen holding on to it?"

"To be honest, it's reasonable for Princess Gong to admit defeat. Princess Qinwen challenged Xiaochun to fight. Didn't she expect this to happen? Xiaochun and Princess Gong grew up together, and their relationship is deeper than that of an ordinary master and servant. Princess Qinwen wouldn't be unaware of this, right?

Just now, Xiaochun was being suppressed by Princess Qinwen on the court. How could Princess Gong not see it? She gave in just to prevent Xiaochun from suffering. But now, Princess Gong has given in, but Princess Qinwen is still not giving in. This is too much."

Lu Linyi changed his previous timidity, straightened his back and questioned Wu Meifeng directly.

Ever since this woman came to Beiling, she has been causing trouble for Xiaoxue.

Now that her father is at the front line in Beixi, the Zhenbei Marquisate depends on her, Lu Linyi, to support it. If she doesn't step forward, wouldn't this low-class woman be able to bully the people of their Gu family at will?

"You..." Wu Meifeng was speechless.

She glared at Lu Linyi fiercely, then turned to Jun Li, hoping that he could say a word for her.

"Princess Qinwen just wants things to have a complete ending." Wu Meifeng's pitiful look made Jun Li feel sick.

But thinking that they were in the same camp, he had no choice but to smooth things over for her.

"Alright, since Changle has admitted defeat, there is no need for the two maids to compete anymore. Just go away."

Emperor Beiling rubbed his temple. This matter was a piece of cake for him. As long as Xiao Zhan went to the north to grab land, he would be satisfied. He didn't bother to care about other people.

With a wave of her hand, Jiang Xue and the maids bowed to express their gratitude and then left.

Next came the contest between the princes. Since no one caused trouble, the outcome was decided in less than an hour.

Xiao Huan was indeed more skilled and took the southern area. Xiao Yun and Jun Li each obtained the southeastern and southwestern areas, Xiao Jin took the eastern area, and the western area belonged to the sixth prince Xiao Shen, who had remained unknown in this life.

Jiang Xue had some impression of the Sixth Prince. She seemed to have met him once or twice in her previous life.

He is the darling of Concubine Zhao Jinyan. He has been different from others since he was a child. He is not interested in gold, silver, or treasures. He just likes to be free and easy, like the floating clouds in the mountains and the wild cranes in the water. Unfortunately, he was reborn in the palace, where there are so many rules. These rules and regulations are like ropes that tie him up tightly and prevent him from flying.

"Although the west is not as glamorous as the south, the prey is still respectable. Ning Yuan, you have to fight for me and make your mother proud."

Concubine Shu had high hopes for him. Ever since the downfall of those two unlucky guys, Lin Wan and Xiao Yan, her life in the palace had been getting worse and worse.

Especially after the vixen Wu Meifeng entered the palace, her good fortune of seeing the emperor once a month was taken away from her.

The power of the Zhao family suffered after Xiao Huan returned to the capital. Now the Concubine Shu has nothing left except Xiao Shen, her only descendant.

So she hurriedly asked people to hurry up and call back Xiao Shen who was studying in Yunzhou, just for this royal hunting meeting.

She hoped that her son would perform well in the hunting competition and win first place, so that she could also benefit from it and regain favor.

However, compared with her full expectations, Xiao Shen could not muster the slightest interest.

He was born not to like joining in the fun, and the undercurrent at the beginning of this hunt was especially nauseating to him.

A good hunt was ruined by those sneaky little actions! It's really disgusting.

"What's wrong with Sixth Brother? You don't look happy." Xiao Huan walked over and looked Sixth Brother up and down.

Tsk tsk, it's really a miracle that Zhao Jinyan, a worldly woman who is always calculating, can give birth to such a noble and arrogant child like Xiao Shen.

"What a disgusting conspiracy." Xiao Shen glanced at him coldly, and glanced meaningfully at Jue and Jun Li behind him.

"Seventh brother, let me remind you that there are some people and things you should not touch. Once you are involved, you must be careful not to end up in an irreparable situation."

After saying this, Xiao Shen walked away without looking back, without even looking at Xiao Huan.

"Sixth brother is really well-informed about this news!"

Staring at Xiao Shen's receding figure, Xiao Huan's strange vertical pupils suddenly shrank into a slit, revealing a sinister murderous aura.

Xiao Jin, who was not far away, saw their conversation clearly. Following Xiao Shen's gaze, he also turned his attention to Jun Li and Jue, frowning slightly, as if he had discovered something fishy.

"Princess, I'm sorry."

In the room, Xiaochun packed up the things she would need for tomorrow, and fell to her knees in front of Jiang Xue, feeling extremely regretful. If she had not been controlled by Wu Meifeng, the princess would not have had to bite the bullet and admit defeat in order to protect them.

Not to mention that His Royal Highness Prince Gong and the princess had to go to the desolate enclosure in the north, a place where few people and no birds even sh*t.

"You really can't be blamed for this. What are you doing? Get up."

Jiang Xue put down the clothes in her hands, bent down, and helped Xiaochun up personally.

"Wu Meifeng was able to touch you without the tacit approval of Emperor Beiling. You were there at the time, and no one could do anything about it. The situation now is actually the best outcome. So, Xiaochun, don't take it to heart." Jiang Xue comforted him softly.

"But the one in the north..." Xiaochun still felt upset when he thought about the location of the enclosure.

"The northern area is pretty good, not as bad as you think." At this time, Xiao Zhan pushed the door open and interrupted Xiaochun's worries.
