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

Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Shen is indeed the ideal candidate.

After a brief thought, Emperor Beiling followed Concubine Shu's words and agreed, "Concubine Shu is absolutely right. Yun Che, let Ning Yuan work with you to investigate the backgrounds of these dozen people and the truth behind the skinning murder."

When he saw these dozen Xichen secret guards, Emperor Beiling immediately linked them to the skinning murder.

In his subconscious, he had already convicted them and did not consider other possibilities at all.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Zhan had no objection and nodded in agreement.

It's just one more opponent, which is not a problem for Xiao Zhan.

At the same time, in a remote courtyard in the south of the city, the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.

Jun Li's hand holding the pen was suspended in the air, a drop of ink slid down the tip of the pen, dripped onto the rice paper, and slowly spread along the texture of the paper.

Mo Xue sat beside him with her legs crossed. After listening to the spy's report on the situation in the palace, she quietly observed Jun Li's reaction.

Tsk tsk, it seems this kid is very angry.

"More than a dozen secret guards were wiped out." After a long time, Jun Li's voice was heard in the study.

There was a hint of coldness and anger in his tone.

That was his Xichen's secret guard, and he was forced to commit suicide by Xiao Zhan's men.

Now is the time when people are needed. Losing more than a dozen assistants at once is like cutting off one of Jun Li's arms.

"That idiot Wu Meifeng, it was she who gathered everyone in Kunyi Palace." Jun Li growled.

"She might want these people to help her capture some more palace maids. After all, her skin can't last much longer. She has to keep using fresh human skin to maintain it. The muscle tissue under the skin has long been rotten and maggots have grown in it."

Mo Xue said, feeling Jun Li's unfriendly gaze, she shrugged: "Don't glare at me like that, I warned you that it would cost a lot to restore her beauty, but you said it yourself at the time, you must restore her original appearance no matter what."

Jun Li took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. This woman's attitude did make him unhappy, but her words were facts and he could not refute them.

"Unfortunately, all their bodies were taken away by Xiao Zhan. I believe that their identities will be exposed soon. By then, I, Jun Li, will have no place to stand in Yujing." After calming down, Jun Li analyzed the current situation. From his words, it can be seen that the situation is not optimistic, but there is no panic on his face.

"I see that you are calm and composed. Do you have a plan to deal with it?" Mo Xue put down her crossed legs, leaned forward and asked.

Jun Li didn't say anything, but raised his lips and said to Mo Xue in a very imposing manner: "Tomorrow, we will go to Prince Gong's Mansion and find out."

"puff."

In Prince Gong's Mansion, Jiang Xue, who was tortured by the blood poison and almost lost her mind, spat out blood again.

Looking at the half basin of blood, Xiao Zhan's heart tightened. After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to feed Jiang Xue Doctor Li's medicine.

After swallowing the pill, about an incense stick of time passed before the pain in the whole body began to slowly subside.

"Doctor Li, how is Xiaoxue?"

After Jiang Xue calmed down, she lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Doctor Li, invited by Xiao Zhan, was carefully taking her pulse with a serious face.

Seeing that Doctor Li's expression was becoming more and more serious, Xiao Zhan felt vaguely uneasy.

"Your Highness... Alas..."

Doctor Li withdrew his hand, sighed with regret, and pulled Xiao Zhan out of the door. Then he spoke: "The princess's body is already very weak, and the blood poison will cause more and more damage to her. I'm afraid the medicine I prescribed will not work for long."

Having said that, he paused, carefully observing Xiao Zhan's gradually dimming eyes, thinking about how to tell him the next bad news.

After a moment, he made up his mind and said directly: "In addition, I have said before that taking too much of that medicine will be harmful to the princess's body. Judging from her pulse, the possibility of the princess getting pregnant in the future is very small."

The worsening erosion of the blood poison was already a heavy blow, and now there was the bad news of difficulty in fertility.

One can imagine how heartbroken Xiao Zhan was at this moment.

What saddened him was not that he could not have children, but that Xiaoxue was deprived of the right to become a mother.

For such a strong person, this blow was undoubtedly a huge blow.

"Doctor Li, please don't tell Xiaoxue about this for the time being." He was worried that she couldn't bear it.

"Alas, Your Highness, the princess herself is knowledgeable about medicine. Even if you don't tell her about this now, she will know it sooner or later."

Dr. Li does not agree with concealing the condition of the disease. He believes that patients have the right to know their own condition.

"She is still very weak. I'm afraid she can't bear so many blows at once. Please don't tell her about this for now. When the time is right, I will tell her in person. I hope Doctor Li can understand." Xiao Zhan said as he bowed to Doctor Li.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's consideration for Jiang Xue, Doctor Li was quite moved. After thinking about it, he finally nodded and agreed to Xiao Zhan's request.

"As for the antidote, Your Highness, is there any news about the Buddha?" Doctor Li particularly admired a smart woman like Jiang Xue. He didn't want to see her suffer like this. He had been studying the solution to the blood poison these days, but after trying many methods, he still couldn't do without the Buddha.

Without Buddha, there is no cure for the blood poison.

"Our people have been searching for Futu's whereabouts, but there is no definite news yet." When mentioning Futu, Xiao Zhan was full of worry.

These days, he has never slackened off in his pursuit of Fu Tu, but Mo Xue's whereabouts are elusive and difficult to track.

"Alas." Hearing this, Doctor Li sighed and said, "This blood poison is corroding the princess' body day after day. Although the princess has a special physique, it can only delay the decline. If the poison is not detoxified, it will eventually endanger her life."

After hearing these words, Xiao Zhan, who was already worried, felt even heavier in his heart.

“Doctor, don’t put too much pressure on Yun Che.” A weak voice came from inside the house. The two turned sideways and saw that Jiang Xue had walked to the door with Fu Dong’s support.

"You are still very weak, why did you come out?" Xiao Zhan took Fu Dong and supported her.

Did you hear everything she just said, including the matter of childbirth?

The pain was revealed in his eyes.

"I came here when I heard you talking." Jiang Xue gave him a comforting smile: "Don't worry, my body is different from that of ordinary people. Even if this blood poison stays in my body for three to five years, I will not be in danger. Although the pagoda is hard to find, it is not the only one in the world. If you really can't find it, you can find another one."

It turned out that what she heard was only the part about the pagoda.

This made Xiao Zhan feel a little relieved. He really didn't want to see Jiang Xue sad.

"Well, I know. I will send people to continue looking for new pagodas." Xiao Zhan said, but he will not give up on the lost one.

“I will also ask my disciples to keep an eye on Fu Tu’s whereabouts. I hope he can be found as soon as possible so that the princess can be freed from the torture of the blood poison.” Doctor Li was determined to contribute and solemnly promised.
