Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 362 Heartless
"You haven't eaten for a few days, and your body is very weak. You can only eat something light now to nourish your stomach first."
She put away the needle, asked Fudong to bring a bowl of porridge, and handed it to him personally.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I..."
Xiao Yun felt even more guilty. It was clearly him who let their enemy go without telling his fourth brother and his sister-in-law, but now he still needed his sister-in-law to take care of him.
"If you have anything to say, talk after you finish eating." Jiang Xue said, "Yun Che and I came here today and have many things to ask you. How can you have the energy to talk if you are not full? If you really feel sorry for us, then drink the porridge first. After you finish, we will listen to you."
"Yeah." Xiao Yun nodded, obeyed obediently, and drank the porridge in the bowl.
"You feel better?"
Seeing him put down the bowl of porridge, Xiao Zhan walked in, stood behind Jiang Xue, and looked at him with concern.
"Fourth brother..."
Xiao Yun didn't dare to look Xiao Zhan in the eye and just called out softly.
Xiao Zhan looked at him and found that Xiao Yun was in much better condition than before. His eyes were no longer so dull and his face had a little more color, which made him feel a little more at ease.
"The steward has told us about your situation. How did you know about the Jiang family in the west of the city?"
Considering that Xiao Yun was still weak, Xiao Zhan went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
When the Jiang family was mentioned, Xiao Yun's eyes suddenly shrank, and his grief was beyond words. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "This matter has to start from the death of my mother."
Then, the truth hidden behind it gradually surfaced.
It turned out that since Jun Li was imprisoned in the Inner Court, Wu Meifeng, under pressure from Meng Xun, threatened Xiao Yun with Jiang Chongyi's life, forcing him to find a way to rescue Jun Li.
At first, Xiao Yun did not agree to her request, but Wu Meifeng turned around and poisoned Jiang Chongyi, causing the blood poison in her body to erupt.
Seeing that his mother's life was hanging by a thread, Xiao Yun had no choice but to compromise and hurried to find Emperor Beiling to plead for her release.
After Jun Li came out, Wu Meifeng gave him the so-called blood-detoxifying medicine as promised before, and asked him to give it to Jiang Chongyi. However, the medicine was fake, and Jiang Chongyi died soon after taking it.
Afterwards, Wu Meifeng came to Xiao Yun again and asked him to rescue a few more people from the Inner Court.
Because of Jiang Chongyi's death, Xiao Yun hated Wu Meifeng so much that he would not agree to anything this time.
He originally thought that they would be able to keep quiet like this, but he didn't expect that Wu Meifeng would kill more than 20 people from the Jiang family in the west of the city in revenge.
By the time he learned the news, it was too late. More than 20 lives were lost.
The whole story came to light at this point. The truth about Jiang Chongyi's death, Jun Li's release, and the destruction of the Jiang family in the west of the city were all laid out before the two of them.
"Wu Meifeng deliberately sent someone to tell me that she would destroy the Jiang family at midnight, but she actually did it an hour earlier!" This woman was simply playing him like a monkey, first giving him hope, and then pushing him into despair! Thinking of this, Xiao Yun was so angry that he trembled all over.
"She deliberately made you witness the tragic death of your loved ones, so that you would regret it for the rest of your life. This is the kind of psychological torture she is best at."
Thinking back to his previous life, his child was also teased by this woman before he died.
So now, Jiang Xue can empathize with Xiao Yun's feelings better than anyone else.
"But why did she choose me?" There are many people who can save Jun Li.
"Because you are Yun Che's most trusted brother, your betrayal would be a fatal blow to him. This is Jun Li's purpose."
Jiang Xue was too familiar with Jun Li. This guy would do anything to achieve his goal. In order to get what he wanted, he didn't care how many innocent lives would be sacrificed.
After listening to Jiang Xue's words, Xiao Yun fell into deep thought.
It was all because of him that I betrayed my fourth brother. Guilt and regret surged into my heart again.
"It's not your fault." Seeing Xiao Yun blaming himself, Xiao Zhan sighed and patted his shoulder gently: "You were just used by others, don't blame yourself so much."
"Fourth brother!" Xiao Zhan's words made Xiao Yun feel warm in his heart.
"Have a good rest. I will ask Fudong to bring you medicine regularly. You need to take good care of your body."
Xiao Yun was the real victim. Jiang Xue certainly wouldn't blame him for releasing Jun Li. Instead, she felt quite distressed.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law will help you get back all the suffering you've endured."
This woman, Wu Meifeng, has hurt the people around her time and time again. If I allow her to continue to do such evil things, how can I deserve the chance to be reborn?
Now it seems that she is Jun Li's most capable assistant?
Then she would break this wing and see how long Jun Li could jump.
At night, in Prince Gong's Mansion, Jiang Xue finished washing up and lay on Xiao Zhan's lap, reading the letter sent by Mo Tian.
Mo Tian has basically taken control of the situation in Qian Kingdom. Now all he needs to do is find the whereabouts of the tiger talisman.
"Feng Qiyuan is such a cunning old fox that he still has no clue where the tiger talisman is hidden."
Even if Marshal Meng and General Wu joined forces, they were unable to pry any information out of him, which made Jiang Xue a little angry.
"The tiger talisman is so important, he must have hidden it very carefully. If it is so easy to find, it might be a trap."
Xiao Zhan patted her head gently and smiled dotingly.
"Today, Xiao Yan decided in the court that Wu Meifeng will be made a concubine. It will be the third day of next month. It will be in a few days."
Xiao Zhan said as he combed Jiang Xue's shiny black hair.
"The day of conferring the title of consort? It's only been less than half a month since Empress Chongyi passed away, and he's so anxious to confer the title of consort?"
Come to think of it, on the day Jiang Chongyi passed away, Emperor Beiling just went through the motions and threw everything to Xiao Yun to handle, without even asking a single question.
Even Ye Zhaoyi and Sun Xiurong kept vigil over the casket all night, but Xiao Yan was busy having fun with the concubines in the palace that night. He was so heartless that it was chilling.
"He is a heartless person." Xiao Zhan said.
Jiang Chongyi was of humble origin and could not be of much help to Xiao Yan, so he did not care about her at all.
Even in the serious case of the Jiang family that involved more than twenty lives, he just said lightly that it was a pity and let it go.
During the days when Xiao Yun was in a trance and had a breakdown, he, as his father, did not come to see him even once.
In his eyes, useful people are worthy of his attention, while worthless people, even his own son, will be left to fend for themselves.
"Wu Meifeng must be very proud now. She is finally getting the title she has always wanted."
It goes without saying that when Wu Meifeng heard the news, she must have had a smug look on her face.
Once she has the title, her status in Bei Ling will surpass mine. How could she not take the opportunity to show off and suppress herself?
Jiang Xue grasped Wu Meifeng's tactics and thoughts very accurately.
Sure enough, just as they were about to have breakfast the next day, someone from the palace came and said that they wanted to invite the ladies and young ladies in Yujing City to attend a tea party at Kunyi Palace and learn the rules of Beiling.
