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

The blood in my limbs and bones flows smoothly, and the heart-wrenching pain in my chest gradually dissipates. It seems that there is a warm current flowing in my meridians, unblocking blocked acupuncture points, and I feel refreshed.

"It works, it really works." Seeing Jiang Xue's pale face gradually turning red, Fu Dong whispered excitedly.

Xiaochun, who seemed calm, was actually holding the corner of Fudong's clothes with her hands, staring at her master with her eyes, afraid of missing any details.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan finished writing the memorial in the study room with great delay. His brows were twisted into a big "川" shape. Then he jumped on the carriage and headed straight for the palace. He felt as heavy-hearted as if a huge rock was pressing on him.

"Your Highness, everything you asked has been done."

Qing Feng's face was pale. He dragged his sick body to the carriage and reported to Xiao Zhan.

"Yeah." Xiao Zhan responded lightly.

"Your Highness, are you really planning to do this?" Qing Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Qingfeng, your injury hasn't healed yet, go back and have a good rest." Xiao Zhan didn't respond directly, but said lightly, leaving Qingfeng there, and entered the palace alone with Tieyi.

There is no other way to go now except this.

For Jiang Xue's safety and the fate of Linglong Pavilion, he had no choice but to go ahead.

Two hours later, explosive news came from the palace that a group of assassins, more than a dozen people, who had sneaked into the palace, were all captured alive, skinned and hung on the city wall for public display.

The official statement was that it was a warning to the remnants of King Huan, letting them know the consequences of trespassing into the palace without permission.

As soon as the news came out, the people of Yujing City were in an uproar. They all said that His Royal Highness Prince Huan was really a lingering ghost and could not rest in peace even after his death. His subordinates even dared to sneak into the palace to assassinate him.

“The remnants of King Huan? What’s going on? Yun Che, I remember telling you that those people were clearly Xichen secret guards, so how did they become the remnants of King Huan?” As soon as Xiao Zhan returned home, Jiang Xue asked him anxiously.

But this time, Xiao Zhan did not explain to her in a gentle and soft voice as usual. Instead, he said with a stern face: "Don't worry about it. The emperor has already made up his mind. He said they are the remnants of Prince Huan. So they are the remnants of Prince Huan."

“But…” If we could prove that those people were Xichen’s secret guards, killing Jun Li would be as easy as cutting vegetables, right?

She thought back to everything that happened in her previous life. Emperor Xichen was dying, and Jun Li, in order to return to the country and become the boss, launched a rebellion and broke through the siege of Beiling. This was exactly the same plot she had predicted.

Those secret guards obeyed Wu Meifeng's orders, which must have been arranged by Jun Li. It seemed that Jun Li had some intentions towards Wu Meifeng, so he sent secret guards to protect her.

Recently, she also discovered that many strangers who spoke the Xichen dialect appeared in Yujing City and frequently entered and exited the deserted courtyard in the south of the city. If she guessed correctly, these people were recruited by Jun Li to launch a rebellion.

If Jun Li is not dealt with soon, once he launches a rebellion, the entire Yujing City will become a living hell.

In the past, she didn't care about the chaos in Yujing City, and even wanted to add fuel to the fire and escape from Beiling during the chaos. But now it's different. With Xiao Zhan as her husband, she has to take his position into consideration.

The land of Beiling is the apple of his eye; Yujing City is the warm cradle where he grew up.

Jiang Xue really didn't want him to taste the bitterness she had experienced and witness her homeland being wantonly ravaged by outsiders.

So, when she learned that those guys were Xichen's secret guards, she had a plan in mind. She planned to use their identities to kill Jun Li in one fell swoop, so as to nip in the bud any signs of future disaster.

But Xiao Zhan's behavior surprised her.

She never expected that he would tamper with the identities of those people and miss the great opportunity to eliminate Jun Li.

"Don't mention it anymore. I'm tired as a dog now and I want to have a good rest. I still have the case of the assassins being skinned waiting for me to clean up the mess."

Xiao Zhan interrupted her endless chatter, said these two sentences with a cold face, turned around and went into his room.

In order to conceal his tracks from his colleague Xiao Shen and plan subsequent matters, he racked his brains and did not even blink from last night until now. The headache was as severe as if his skull was splitting.

Fortunately, news came from Doctor Li that Jiang Xue had swallowed the antidote made from half a plant of Pagoda Grass, and he finally felt relieved.

However, when I thought that half of the blood poison was still unresolved, I still couldn't completely let go of my worries.

With a heart full of sorrow, he slowly fell into sleep, his eyeballs rolling under his eyelids and his face full of worry, revealing the torment he was going through in his dream.

In the next few days, Jiang Xue could not see Xiao Zhan almost all day long.

He would either hold meetings in the palace to discuss important matters, or lock himself in the study and would not come out even at sleep time.

These past few days, she went to sleep alone, not even bothering to turn off the lights.

No one knew how the news leaked, but it spread quickly throughout the palace as if it had wings.

People in the palace were talking about this, saying that His Royal Highness Prince Gong had lost interest in Princess Gong and no longer doted on her as much as before.

There were many people who enjoyed the fun and gloated over other people's misfortunes, and the most enthusiastic among them was Wu Meifeng, who was about to be crowned as a princess.

One day, the Queen Mother summoned Jiang Xue to the palace under the pretext of helping to prepare for the ceremony of conferring the title of Queen.

Jiang Xue knew everything clearly. She knew that the old queen must have heard some gossip and was worried, so she rushed to find her to get to the bottom of it.

But before she could step into the threshold of Luanyi Palace, Wu Meifeng, accompanied by Concubine Shu and a group of beauties from the harem, bumped into her head on as if at the exact moment.

"Princess Gong." Wu Meifeng called out lightly with a malicious smile on her face.

Even though Jiang Xue disliked Wu Meifeng a lot, she had to keep her face in front of so many ladies and couldn't just leave.

"Good luck to all the ladies," she greeted politely.

"Where is Princess Gong going?" Concubine Shu looked her up and down with a curious look in her eyes.

"The Empress Dowager summoned me to help prepare for the ceremony of Qin Wen's enthronement as a royal consort." Jiang Xue replied calmly.

"Princess Gong, you have worked so hard. You are so busy with the affairs in your own mansion, and you still have to worry about Qinwen's title as a consort. Qinwen is really grateful for this friendship." Wu Meifeng spoke in a sarcastic tone, with thorns in her words. Jiang Xue's eyes flashed coldly.

"Sister Qinwen, what you said hits the nail on the head. You are the emperor's darling, so who would dare not take the imperial concubine's ceremony seriously? Even the empress dowager came to help in person. It is clear that favored women are treated differently, Princess Gong, don't you think so?" An unknown little concubine, relying on her numbers, openly challenged Jiang Xue in an arrogant tone.

Shufei and Wu Meifeng did not stop it, but just stood by and watched. This tacit attitude made the other concubines join in the fun, and their words were sour and veiled.
