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

She is injured and needs to be nursed back to health, but someone has to continue working. Xiao Huan has two broken legs and is recovering from his injuries, so he can't do anything; as for this woman, she is simply a soft persimmon and can't be relied on.

After much thought, Jun Li is the only one who can be relied on, so we have to get him out of the Inner Court as soon as possible.

"Ahem, it's already been done. But Xiao Yun is a difficult guy to deal with, so..." Wu Meifeng said, carefully looking at the expression of the woman in black.

"I don't care what tricks you come up with. I want to see Jun Li come out within seven days at most. Otherwise, don't blame me for using your life to feed my treasures." This was the ultimatum given by the woman in black to Wu Meifeng.

"Your Highness Prince An, it's your turn."

In Prince Gong's Mansion, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yun were playing chess, while Jiang Xue was sitting aside watching the game.

Xiao Zhan's black chess piece had been placed for a long time, but Xiao Yun had not made any move. Jiang Xue looked up and saw that he had a frown on his face and was staring straight ahead, not looking at the chessboard at all.

Jiang Xue gently reminded him, and Xiao Yun suddenly came back to his senses. He smiled embarrassedly at Xiao Zhan and her, and hurriedly placed a chess piece.

"Your Highness Prince An, is there something on your mind?" Jiang Xue looked at the position of his chess piece, exchanged a glance with Xiao Zhan, and asked Xiao Yun softly.

"Why do you ask that, Fourth Sister-in-law?" Xiao Yun was a little flustered. He avoided Jiang Xue's gaze and asked back with his head down.

"This move of yours is a dead end." Xiao Zhan tapped the edge of the chessboard with his fingers, pointing to the position where Xiao Yun had just made his move. "No matter how hard you struggle, it will be a dead end. This move is so obvious that even a kid who has just learned chess can see it. You have learned chess for so many years. If you didn't have something on your mind, how could you make such a mistake?"

Xiao Zhan knows this younger brother too well.

This kid has never been able to hide things from him since he was a child. As long as there is something abnormal, Xiao Zhan can see through it at a glance.

As soon as Xiao Yun entered the palace today, Xiao Zhan felt something was wrong. Although Xiao Yun pretended to be calm on the surface, Xiao Zhan knew that he must have something on his mind since he was always distracted when talking to him.

"Yu Mo, what trouble are you in?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"I..." Faced with the questioning of his most trusted brother, Xiao Yun instinctively wanted to speak, but when he thought of Wu Meifeng's threat, the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

"As for Empress Chongyi's life, it all depends on the decision of His Royal Highness Prince An. As long as you help Princess Qinwen rescue Prince Xichen from the Inner Court, Princess Qinwen will naturally give you the antidote for Empress Chongyi's blood poison. Of course, it's best not to let His Royal Highness Prince Gong know about this, otherwise Princess Qinwen can't guarantee how long Empress Chongyi can live."

Wu Meifeng's words kept echoing in Xiao Yun's mind, making him feel mixed emotions.

He wanted to ask for help, but his mother's life was in the hands of others, and he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Seeing Xiao Yun hesitant to speak, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan became more and more confused.

What on earth could make Xiao Yun, who is usually straightforward, become so reserved?

"Fourth brother...I..."

Just as Xiao Yun was stammering and hadn't gotten around to explaining anything, Tie Yi rushed in, knelt down in front of Xiao Zhan, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened. Doctor Xu has passed away."

"What did you say?" Xiao Zhan's face changed drastically. He didn't bother to listen to Xiao Yun's words. He immediately stood up and pulled Jiang Xue to rush to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The mysterious death of Imperial Physician Xu caused panic in the entire Imperial Medical Bureau.

The Imperial Medical Bureau is directly under the management of the Beiling royal family. If someone dies, someone has to be held responsible.

What's more, this is a matter of life and death.

All the imperial doctors gathered in the Imperial Medical Bureau, waiting for the people from the Supreme Court to come and investigate.

"Master Ye."

As soon as Xiao Zhan entered the room, he saw Ye Rongxiu standing next to Doctor Xu's body, examining it carefully.

"Your Highness, Princess."

Seeing Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue coming, Ye Rongxiu stepped forward and saluted them.

"Master Ye, you're welcome."

Jiang Xue personally helped Ye Rongxiu up, turned her gaze to Doctor Xu who was not far away, and took a quick glance at him.

His face was blue and his nails were purple and black, and it seemed that he died of poisoning.

Jiang Xue already had a rough idea in her mind.

"Master Ye, what's the situation?" Xiao Zhan asked with concern.

Doctor Xu is the only doctor who knows that Jiang Xue is suffering from blood poisoning, and he is also the only doctor Xiao Zhan trusts to take over the Buddha.

Now that Doctor Xu is dead, what about the antidote for the blood poison? How to remove the blood poison in Jiang Xue? These are the issues that Xiao Zhan is most concerned about now.

"Your Highness, according to my preliminary judgment, Doctor Xu was poisoned to death. All the documents that he usually used on his desk were taken away, and some of his notes were also missing. In addition, according to the apprentices in the Imperial Medical Bureau, some of the medicinal materials that Doctor Xu was researching were also missing, and they were probably taken away as well."

As Ye Rongxiu spoke, he asked someone to bring the record book of the Chief Justice, which recorded in detail all the items that Doctor Xu had lost.

Xiao Zhan flipped through the booklet carefully, paying special attention to the missing herbs. When he saw the name of the last herb, his heart became heavy.

Buddha! His eyes were fixed on these two words, and the anger in his heart slowly rose.

"It seems that the murderer came for the Buddha."

Jiang Xue also took a rough look at the items in the booklet. Among these medicinal herbs, except for Fu Tu, the others can be easily bought in the market.

"Xiao Huan!"

The first person Xiao Zhan thought of was Xiao Huan.

When he was collecting medicinal herbs in the north, Jun Li and Xiao Huan both knew about this.

Now that Jun Li is imprisoned in the Inner Court, only Xiao Huan may have the ability to kill someone in the Imperial Hospital.

"I don't think it's him." Jiang Xue shook her head. "Xiao Huan's legs are crippled, and he can't move at all now. Besides, our people have been keeping an eye on Prince Huan's mansion, but we haven't seen any movement from him in the past few days. It can't be him."

"If it wasn't him, who else would know that the Buddha was in the hands of Imperial Physician Xu? And who would be bold enough to enter the Imperial Physician's Office and kill people?" Xiao Zhan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the woman in black suddenly appeared in his mind.

"That woman..."

The woman in black was able to enter the dungeon of Prince Gong's Mansion quietly and slip away right under his nose. With her ability, it is not impossible for her to sneak into the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Moreover, that woman was good at using poison. Not only could she kill people silently, but she could also easily identify rare medicinal materials like Futu.

From this point of view, she is indeed the most suspicious suspect.

"Yes, it must be her."

Jiang Xue also immediately thought of the woman in black.

Apart from her, I can't think of anyone else who can have such ability.

That woman's whereabouts were mysterious. Even if she committed a crime, the Chief Justice would not be able to find any clues. It was perfect for her to commit the crime.

"She has a close relationship with Wu Meifeng, and she might be in Kunyi Palace now."

Jiang Xue looked up at Xiao Zhan and said, "You are a prince, it is not convenient for you to enter the harem. I will go to Kunyi Palace."
