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

Jiang Xue took the lead and slowly stood up, saying to the guards behind her: "Keep going down, watch your step, and be careful around you."

The guards agreed and followed her down step by step.

"Ok?"

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xue felt her legs were a little sore, so she leaned against a large rock behind her to rest for a while.

But the stone moved slightly when she touched it, which caught Jiang Xue's attention.

She turned her head and looked at the rock she was leaning against. It was quite large, but much looser than the surrounding rocks.

Looking closely at the edges, there appear to be signs of having been moved.

Moreover, the shape of this stone does not quite match the stone next to it, leaving a thin gap.

She bent down and peered through the gap.

Suddenly, an eye met hers.

Jiang Xue's heart skipped a beat with fright, but luckily she had developed self-control in this life, and was able to control her expression and emotions well, so she didn't scream.

"princess?"

Qing Feng's voice came out from the cracks in the stone, with joy that was hard to conceal.

"Qing Feng?" Upon hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Xue's previous shock instantly turned into surprise.

If Qing Feng is here, then Yun Che must be here too.

"Yes, Princess, I am Qing Feng. Please wait a moment, Princess, I will move the stone away."

With Qingfeng's efforts, the stone was moved away little by little, and a spacious stone cave appeared before everyone.

"It turns out they were hiding in a cave in the cliff. No wonder we couldn't find them after searching for so long down there."

After Jiang Xue and her group entered the cave, Xiao Huan watched Qing Feng seal the entrance again. He smiled coldly, "Jun Li, tell the brothers to get ready. We should go visit my injured fourth brother."

"Pass the order down, everyone go down the mountain and go to that cave."

Jun Li gave an order and headed towards the stone cave with Jue and Xiao Huan.

"Xiaoxue..."

As soon as she entered the cave, Jiang Xue heard Xiao Zhan's low voice calling her name.

One sound after another, weak and powerless.

She felt a sudden pain in her heart and quickly walked to Xiao Zhan. The scene before her almost made her breathless.

His face was pale, his clothes were soaked in blood, his pupils kept flipping under his eyelids, and his face was full of pain and anxiety.

This scene was exactly the same as in her dream.

"Yun Che, I'm here. I'm here."

Jiang Xue squatted down, gently stroked his cheek, and spoke softly.

When her fingers touched his skin, she was startled by his heat.

"Your Highness was shot by a hidden arrow while collecting herbs. The arrow was poisonous, so His Highness has been running a fever. Tieyi was also shot by an arrow to protect His Highness, and now he has a high fever." Qingfeng looked guilty and knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Xue: "It's my incompetence that I failed to protect His Highness. Please punish me, Princess."

Before leaving, he had clearly promised the princess that he would ensure the safety of Her Highness. Now that Her Highness has a persistent fever, he feels that he has let the princess down.

Picking herbs. Jiang Xue looked down at Xiao Zhan's right hand, which was tightly holding a strange herb. Even though he fell asleep, his hand was still tightly grasping the strange herb.

It really is Buddha grass.

"Fool..." Jiang Xue looked at the back of his hand with heartache, which was scratched from picking pagoda grass.

A drop of warm tear fell on Xiao Zhan's hand.

"It's not your fault." After wiping away her tears, Jiang Xue gradually calmed down and let Qingfeng stand up.

In order to relieve Xiao Zhan's pain, Jiang Xue fed him a pill, then picked up a gold needle and began to prick his acupuncture points to help him expel the toxins from his body.

While performing acupuncture, he said to Qingfeng, "I can't spare time to take care of Tieyi right now. First, give him some medicine to stabilize his heart pulse, and then help him push the acupoints to detoxify according to the method I told him."

Xiao Zhan was not only poisoned, but also injured. She really couldn't spare the time to treat Tieyi herself, so she had to ask Qingfeng for help.

Fortunately, Tieyi had no other wounds, so it was much easier to deal with.

It's just a pity that he has to suffer under Qingfeng's brute force.

If everything went well, it would only take half an hour for both of them to be safe.

But when the treatment was halfway through, a loud noise was heard from the entrance of the cave.

Not long after, the sound of chaotic footsteps followed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Fourth Sister-in-law is really capable. I have been looking for someone for several hours but couldn't find him. You found him so quickly. I am really impressed by you."

A group of people dispersed and surrounded Jiang Xue and the others. Xiao Huan walked out of the crowd.

His vertical pupils were fixed on Jiang Xue who was busy giving acupuncture to Xiao Zhan, and his smile was sinister and weird.

I didn't expect Xiao Huan to come to me at this time.

Jiang Xue secretly thought that something was wrong. At this critical moment, she couldn't deal with Xiao Huan.

He glanced at Qingfeng, who was also busy helping Tieyi to push the acupoints and detoxify, and couldn't get away.

Their location was still some distance away from the entrance of the cave. If they wanted to send someone to deliver a letter to the people waiting on the top of the cliff, they would have to pass through Xiao Huan and his men who were blocking their way.

If Tieyi and Qingfeng were both fine, this little obstacle wouldn't be a big deal, but now...

Jiang Xue looked at the people from Yong'an Marquis Mansion who followed her down. She didn't know much about their true abilities and was not sure if they could do it.

"Is Fourth Sister-in-law thinking about how to tip off the higher-ups?"

Xiao Huan saw through Jiang Xue's thoughts and sneered, "I think Fourth Sister-in-law should not waste her energy. The people you brought with you have probably been dealt with by my people. If you don't believe me, I can ask you to send someone to the entrance of the cave to see if anyone comes to support you."

As he said that, Xiao Huan really made way and waved to one of the guards, indicating him to go to the entrance of the cave.

Jiang Xue looked at Xiao Huan seriously. She wasn't sure if what Xiao Huan said was true.

Since he knew that she had left someone on the top of the cliff, it meant that he had grasped her actions from the beginning.

Xiao Huan is like a poisonous snake. Once he locks on a target, he will not let go easily.

So what he said about the guards on the cliff top being dealt with was probably true.

However, since he so confidently gave her the opportunity to ask for help, she couldn't waste this precious opportunity, right?

"Your Highness, no."

Jun Li's face changed when he saw this, and he immediately stepped forward to stop them: "What if they attract more people?"

The biggest problem with Xiao Huan is that he is too conceited.

Always think you can control everything.

It seemed as if everyone in the world was at his mercy.

Did he know that this arrogance would sooner or later become his downfall?

Jun Li was particularly disgusted by this point of Xiao Huan.

In another two years he will be able to return to Xichen safely, and he doesn't want to be dragged down by Xiao Huan at this critical juncture.

Jun Li didn't wait for Xiao Huan to answer, and directly ordered his men to control all the guards brought by Jiang Xue.

"Jun Li, are you questioning my ability?"
