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

However, when he was immersed in a beautiful dream, triumphantly stepped into the palace gate and stepped into the Xuchen Palace, his smile froze instantly.

Xiao Zhan was seen standing upright in the center of the hall, respectfully reporting government affairs to Emperor Beiling.

His posture was upright and his steps were steady. How could he look like a sickly person whose life was hanging by a thread?

"Why are you here?" he blurted out in shock and anger.

No matter what the occasion is or whether it would arouse suspicion, he just wants to get things clear now.

"I'm here to report on government affairs, why can't I be here?" Xiao Zhan stared at him with a half-smile: "Seventh Prince, you look surprised? What's wrong? I'm standing here for no reason, and I scared you?"

"You..." Xiao Huan was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Your Majesty, what does Prince Gong mean by this?" Emperor Beiling heard the hidden meaning in Xiao Zhan's words, his brows knitted into knots, and he asked.

He glanced back and forth between the two of them, wondering what had happened between them.

Looking at Xiao Huan's frantic look, could it be that he has done something bad behind his back again?

"Oh, Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. My seventh brother made a bet with my princess, and he lost. He is a little unhappy." Xiao Zhan suppressed the smile on his face and answered seriously.

Jiang Xue, that bitch, actually dared to play with him.

The fingers on the wheelchair armrests gradually tightened, and the joints turned white.

It seems that the rumors outside Prince Gong's Mansion were also spread deliberately by Jiang Xue.

What was spread yesterday was pure fiction. She didn't touch a hair of Xiao Zhan at all. There was no assassin in Prince Gong's Mansion.

All this was a trick played by that bitch who treated him like a monkey.

"Your Majesty, this batch of military supplies has been ordered and can be sent to the border at any time."

A eunuch in charge came over with a list and reported respectfully.

On the border of Beixi, since the civil unrest in the northern neighbor was quelled, the relationship between the two countries has become increasingly tense, and it seems that a war is imminent. Border supplies are already in short supply, and the suppression of the civil unrest has consumed a lot of resources, so military supplies are even more stretched.

The Marquis of Zhenbei sent three consecutive requests for emergency supplies, which made the Emperor of Beiling grit his teeth and squeeze out a batch of military supplies from the national treasury to send.

"Yeah." Emperor Beiling glanced at the total price of the supplies with heartache, responded in a muffled voice, and threw it to Xiao Zhan.

"Hurry up and send this batch of supplies to Zhenbei Hou. Don't delay."

As he said this, he glared at Xiao Zhan fiercely.

If it weren't for this kid fanning the flames and getting court officials to sign a petition, how could he be willing to pay for the Marquis of Zhenbei out of his own pocket.

There were three requests for emergency supplies, but this evil creature did not follow the rules and submitted them publicly at the morning court, making it clear that he was not left with any way out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Zhan took the file and glanced at Xiao Huan who had a cold face: "Your Majesty, it seems that the seventh prince has something to say."

"What are you doing here again, kid?"

He was already unhappy about not having a child, and when he saw Xiao Huan's cold face, he felt even more upset.

Emperor Beiling's tone became obviously impatient.

"Your Majesty, I am here to express my gratitude. It is all thanks to Your Majesty for granting the marriage between my son and Miss Lu."

Remembering the purpose of this trip, Xiao Huan came back to his senses and bowed to Emperor Beiling.

Jiang Xue, if you dare to play tricks on me, don't blame me for being rude.

"Miss Lu is gentle and generous, and a famous lady from Yujing City. My son has admired her for a long time, but he never had the chance to express his feelings. Now that the emperor has granted us marriage, my son is very happy. I hope to be able to marry Miss Lu as soon as possible. I hope that my father will approve of this."

"Oh? Do you want me to hold a wedding for you two earlier?" Emperor Beiling heard his hidden meaning.

"Your Majesty is wise. I think that the marriage of children is a major event for parents. Now that the Marquis of Zhenbei is fighting the enemy on the border, he needs encouragement. If he hears that his daughter's marriage is set, it will surely encourage him. Maybe with the morale boosted, he can win the battle."

Emperor Beiling had just sent a large batch of arms to Marquis Zhenbei and was feeling unhappy. Xiao Huan's suggestion was just the right way for him to vent his anger, so how could he not agree?

Humph! Lu Changfeng, you cut flesh from me, and I will take it back from you.

"That's right. I agree. It's a good opportunity to use your wedding to bring joy to Beiling and encourage the Marquis of Zhenbei. As for being petty, don't be so particular during this special period. Go back and prepare. In five days, I will personally officiate your wedding."

"I didn't expect that Emperor Beiling would be so impatient that he would not even care about the mourning period and would get married in five days..."

In Prince Gong's Mansion, Jiang Xue and the others sat around the stone table and listened to Xiao Zhan recount what happened in Xuchen Palace.

Everyone's face showed displeasure.

Lu Linyi didn't say a word from beginning to end. He kept rubbing the belt around his waist with his fingers, with a worried look on his face.

Lu Linyi felt as if he was being pressed down by a dark cloud, and the world seemed to be filled with darkness.

Nan Jingxing sat beside her, his strong arms gently wrapped around her shoulders, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Although his words did warm Lu Linyi's heart, the emperor's decree had already been issued, and the marriage was a foregone conclusion. No matter how much they struggled, they could not change this ironclad fact. The warmth was drowned by the despair in his heart, and the worry in Lu Linyi's eyes became more and more intense.

"Cousin, believe me, I won't let you jump into the fire pit." Jiang Xue saw her anxiety and comforted her.

"Believe you?" Lu Linyi's eyes were red, tears welled up in his eyes. He sneered, shook off the hand that Jiang Xue extended, and stared at her emotionally: "It is because I believed in you that I ended up in this situation."

His face flushed with excitement, Lu Linyi stood up in panic and yelled uncontrollably.

"Before, you promised to protect me, saying there was still time and there was still a way! Do you know how much hope I placed in you? Now, the three-year grace period is gone, and there are only five days left. In five days, I have to marry that poisonous snake. Jiang Xue, you promised to save me, and now what! Is this what you call salvation?"

"Cousin..." For Jiang Xue, the scolding from her relatives was the most hurtful to her heart.

Seeing Lu Linyi's desperate and out-of-control roar, Jiang Xue felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

Endless self-blame surged into my heart. This feeling of powerlessness was so similar to my experiences in my previous life.

"Don't call me cousin, Jiang Xue. I'm telling you, from now on, I will never believe a word you say. It's you who has brought me to this point. I won't let you go." After saying that, she swung her sleeves and left. Even Nan Jingxing couldn't dissuade her.

In the darkness, a figure witnessed all this and disappeared silently.

"Really? Lu Linyi really said that?"

In Prince Huan's mansion, Xiao Huan smiled triumphantly after listening to the spy's report.

"Jiang Xue, look at the consequences of your choice."

Looking up at the sky, Xiao Huan whispered with glee.

"Your Highness Prince Huan, Miss Lu is here and she wants to have a good talk with you."

The guard at the gate came hurriedly and knelt down to report.
