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

Although this guy doesn't know any martial arts, his head is worth thousands of soldiers.

In Beiling, when people mention the talented Prime Minister Su, they know that he is extremely capable.

"Prime Minister Su returned to the capital so soon. It seems that the flood in Su'ning has been successfully resolved." Xiao Zhan looked at this opponent who gave him a headache, with a hint of coldness on his lips.

Even Linglong Pavilion's intelligence network failed to obtain the news of Su Ming's return to Beijing, which made Xiao Zhan alert.

He had deployed many spies in Su Ning to keep an eye on Su Ming, but he didn't expect that he didn't receive any news until this guy returned to Yujing! It is conceivable that those spies were probably discovered by him and eliminated one by one.

"Your Highness Prince Gong, I am truly grateful for your concern for me." Su Ming glanced at him and bowed politely:

"The matter in Su Ning has been basically settled. There are only some finishing touches left, which I don't need to guard anymore. I handed them over to the local officials and returned to Yujing first. I didn't expect to hear such a scandal as soon as I came back. It really makes me feel sad.

The legitimate daughter of the Qian Kingdom is so frivolous and dissolute, and has no virtues at all. This is simply a disgrace to our Beiling and a disgrace to the royal family. If such a woman is not severely punished, where will our Beiling's face be? Where is the dignity of the emperor?"

His words were powerful and powerful! As soon as he finished speaking, the courtiers of the Queen's faction responded immediately, calling for the abolition of Jiang Xue's status as a princess and severe torture as a warning.

"Prime Minister Su rushed all the way back from Suning. Could it be that he is tired and confused, and his hearing is not working well? It's as if you didn't hear the explanation of His Royal Highness Prince An?" Xiao Zhan snorted coldly and retorted:

"Just based on a few groundless gossips, someone is convicted. When did our Beiling's laws become a place for gossip? Just because a yellow-haired girl looks a bit like someone, someone is thrown into disrepute? How can this be justified? Do all the court officials in Beiling judge cases so casually?"

"Coincidence? Tsk tsk, Your Highness Prince Gong, is there such a coincidence in the world? Even if they look like the same person, that's fine, but that little girl, anyone who takes a look at her will think she is the illegitimate daughter of those two." Su Ming's eyes were full of disdain: "Your Highness Prince Gong, why don't you bring that little girl out for everyone to see and see if everyone's reaction is exactly the same as what I said."

"The Prime Minister is right! Prince Gong! Bring the person here." Emperor Beiling followed Su Ming's words and made the decision immediately.

So, Liuli walked into the hall under the gaze of everyone, with her head lowered and looking timid, just like a frightened little rabbit.

"Raise your head." Emperor Beiling shouted, and the child trembled with fear and raised his head tremblingly.

Seeing her appearance, all the civil and military officials in the court gasped.

It is indeed as the rumors say, this little guy looks exactly like Jiang Xue and Jun Li.

"Prince Gong, isn't this enough to explain the problem? How long will you protect that frivolous woman? You can lose your face for a woman who doesn't respect herself, but we, the Beiling royal family, can't afford to lose face."

"The frivolous woman the emperor mentioned is Changle?"

A familiar voice sounded at the entrance of the hall. Everyone was startled and turned to look.

The Queen Mother was standing at the door with a dignified look on her face. Jiang Xue carefully supported her, and the two of them slowly walked into the hall in full view of everyone.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother." The ministers saluted in unison, and Emperor Beiling was no exception.

Standing up, Xiao Zhan looked at Jiang Xue beside the Queen Mother in surprise. Didn't he give a strict order not to let her go out casually?

The situation was turbulent now, and there were rumors all over Yujing City. Slander and discussion about her were overwhelming, and even people in the main hall were arguing over the matter. He didn't let Jiang Xue come out because he wanted to isolate her from the rumors and protect her from harm.

But not only did she come out now, she also ran directly to the hall, a place of trouble. Doesn't she know that those people who were eyeing her covetously are planning how to attack her?

Jiang Xue felt Xiao Zhan's worried gaze, but she didn't meet his eyes.

Instead, he looked at the shivering Liuli, his heart full of pity.

She heard from Madam Chu about the rumors flying around the city, plus the chaotic situation in the palace, especially when Xiao Zhan brought Liuli into the palace to see the emperor, the knot in her heart grew bigger and bigger.

She immediately asked Madam Chu for help and handed her badge into the palace, and only then did she obtain the empress dowager's decree, allowing her to enter the palace.

Although Liuli has nothing to do with her in this life, she can't just sit back and watch because her face is exactly the same as her daughter in her previous life.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Emperor Beiling had always been respectful to his nominal mother. Even though he was furious when he saw Jiang Xue, he had to hold back his anger in front of the Queen Mother.

"I have heard some immoral gossip that affects the royal family's reputation, so I came to take a look. Before I even reached the palace gate, I heard a bunch of ugly curses. The solemnity of the Xuchen Palace has been ruined by them." The empress dowager raised her eyebrows, and her majestic aura came over her face, making it a little hard for Emperor Beiling to breathe.

"Mother, there is no smoke without fire. Moreover, the protagonist is right in front of us. And this little girl, just look at her appearance and you will know that those rumors are not groundless." Emperor Beiling pulled Liuli over and asked her to face the Queen Mother.

"They do look alike." The Queen Mother looked at Liuli and then glanced at Jiang Xue. She had to admit that this child really looked like a combination of Xiaoxue and Jun Li.

“In that case…” Seeing the Queen Mother nod, Emperor Beiling was about to give orders, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother.

"Even so, there are so many people in this world who look alike. Does that mean that every one who looks alike is her child?"

These words are exactly the same as what Xiao Yun said before.

"You are an emperor. You should be reasonable when trying cases and handling matters. You must have real evidence for everything. You arbitrarily conclude that Changle is immoral just because of a child's appearance. If this gets out, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by other countries?" The empress dowager's voice became increasingly stern as she spoke.

Emperor Beiling had been afraid of his biological mother's majesty since he was young, and now he didn't even dare to breathe.

"Empress Dowager, this concerns the reputation of the royal family. The emperor is also considering the overall situation." Su Ming saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to speak for Emperor Beiling: "Because of this child's appearance, Yujing City is about to explode. The people's speculation about Princess Gong and His Highness Xichen has seriously damaged the reputation of our Beiling. In order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the emperor must give an explanation."

"What you said is to throw dirty water on a woman without any evidence? Your Majesty, is this what I taught you?" the Queen Mother scolded.

"Let alone anything else, just look at the age of this child. If she is really born by Changle, then working backwards, Changle gave birth to her when she was ten years old. This is nonsense." The Queen Mother put the ring on her finger and pointed at Liuli, laughing angrily.
