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

No matter how bitter the ups and downs she and Xie Yu had experienced were, outsiders could only see the surface and could not feel the bitterness behind it.

If you can choose, who would not want to live a stable and peaceful life? Only after experiencing the test of life and death and the painful struggle, you will understand the preciousness of ordinary life.

Although Wan Youdao is not a romantic person, he is considerate of every detail in life and is very caring towards Yu Niang. His deep affection for Yu Niang is not revealed to others.

I'm afraid Yu Niang still doesn't know that the Qian family was framed by the Lin family and reported for selling contraband salt because they offended Xiao Yan. If it weren't for Wan Youdao's mediation and seeking help everywhere to find evidence to clear the Qian family's charges, the Qian family would probably have been destroyed ten years ago.

It was because of this that the master of the Qian family determined that Wan Youdao was a trustworthy person and married his precious daughter Qian Yu Niang to him.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wan didn't say much, but just smiled slightly.

I sighed in my heart: the more people lack something, the more they desire it.

Qingyan has lived a life full of excitement, so she longs for a peaceful and stable life; and Madam Wan herself, because her life is too dull, she longs for some ups and downs.

"I hope Princess Gong can find His Royal Highness Prince Gong." Madam Wan turned her head to look in the direction Jiang Xue left and silently changed the subject.

"Yes." An Qingyan also looked in that direction and said with a smile.

For some reason, she always had a feeling that His Royal Highness Prince Gong must be fine and Jiang Xue would be able to bring him back safely.

After a day's long journey, it was already late at night when we arrived at the north circle.

On a dark and windy night, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground as if a layer of white frost was spread. The cold night wind penetrated through the gaps in the collar, and together with the moonlight, people felt waves of chills.

"A few of you go over there, over the cliff, and a few of you follow me. The rest of you will camp here. I will notify everyone immediately if there is any news."

After Jiang Xue arranged the tasks concisely and clearly, she picked up a sword for self-defense, took the selected guards, and prepared to go down the cliff to find Xiao Zhan.

There is a narrow path hidden behind a secluded grove of trees on the edge of a cliff.

This path is very narrow and can only accommodate one person at a time. There is no other place to gain leverage except the cliff on the right. Looking down, it is bottomless, which makes people shudder and their legs go weak.

Jiang Xue specially picked a few guards who were not afraid of heights to accompany her, and the group walked down carefully.

Halfway through the journey, suddenly, a cold arrow whizzed over from the opposite hill.

The arrow grazed the cheek of one of the guards and penetrated deeply into the stone wall on the right.

"Ah." The guard who was targeted was so frightened that his feet slipped and he couldn't grab anything with his hands. He tilted to the left and fell into the dark abyss.

"Get down."

Jiang Xue immediately ordered everyone to lie down, and she also lay down first. She looked back at the arrow stuck in the stone wall. It looked almost exactly like the arrow in her dream.

She turned her head sharply and carefully observed the opposite hilltop. After a while, she suddenly saw a flash of light passing by. She immediately shouted, "The person in the third position, quickly hide behind."

Before he finished his words, another arrow whizzed over.

The target was directly at the third person's head. Fortunately, he listened to Jiang Xue and leaned back in time, thus barely avoiding it.

Seeing the tip of the arrow just a little bit away from his nose, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh my, you are indeed the woman that my king likes. You have such keen observation skills, you are truly unique."

On another hill, Xiao Huan was hiding in the bushes. His vertical pupils were like those of a poisonous snake, narrowed into a slit under the influence of the light, and his eyes were flashing with excitement and danger.

"Put the bow down and don't attack for now."

Jun Li, who was standing next to him, held down Jue who was about to draw the bow again and gave a cold order.

"What's wrong? Are you heartbroken?" Xiao Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at Jun Li. He wanted to see more of what unexpected behavior this woman would have when she was in danger. This kid ruined my good thing, isn't he afraid that I will kill him?

There was a terrifying threat in those strange vertical pupils.

But facing Xiao Huan's death gaze, Jun Li did not show the slightest fear on his face.

He raised his lips and explained, "Your Highness Prince Huan, we are waiting here to find Xiao Zhan. Jiang Xue's observation ability is so strong. If we make a move again and again, it won't take long for her to find our location.

If we fail to find the person and expose our whereabouts, it will not be a good thing for us. Moreover, judging from the current situation, she is also here to find Xiao Zhan.

Given her understanding of Xiao Zhan, she may find him before us. We might as well hold our ground and follow her to find him, and then catch them all in one fell swoop. This will save us both trouble and effort, isn't it better?"

Jun Li's words completely convinced Xiao Huan, and the threat in his eyes slowly disappeared.

I have to say, Jun Li’s words do make some sense.

They had been waiting here for nearly four hours but found nothing. Even the two guards Qingfeng and Tieyi had no clues, let alone Xiao Zhan.

It's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this. Jiang Xue is here, and if we follow her, we might have a better chance of finding Xiao Zhan.

Once Xiao Zhan is found, he will be killed immediately. By then, wouldn't Jiang Xue, a weak woman, be at his mercy if she falls into his hands?

"That does make some sense." Xiao Huan nodded slightly, and said coldly to Jue who was half-kneeling on the ground: "Put away your bow and arrow."

He obeyed the order and immediately put away his bow and arrow.

Stand up obediently and stand aside.

Humph, this servant is the only one who is somewhat useful around that woman Wu Meifeng.

I don't know how she got such an obedient and useful servant.

Xiao Huan glanced at Jue coldly, then turned his gaze to Jiang Xue opposite him, with a playful expression on his face.

Come on, Jiang Xue, let me see how strong the bond between you and Xiao Zhan is, and how quickly you can find him.

While Xiao Huan was distracted and staring at Jiang Xue, Jun Li moved closer to Jue and handed him a pill for him to swallow.

"Take one pill of this medicine every hour, and it will double your strength. But don't rely on it too much. The more you take, the shorter the effect will last. You have to manage your time well."

Recalling what the black-clad woman said before leaving, Jun Li frowned as he looked at the only pill left on him. There wasn't much of the pill left, so he had to find Xiao Zhan within an hour to get rid of it.

Have you stopped? Jiang Xue looked at the hill opposite and wondered.

On this side of the cliff, a group of people waited for a long time but did not receive the third arrow. When they looked over again, the place where the cold light flashed just now seemed to have stopped moving.
