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

Fudong sighed inwardly, loving his own princess dearly but at the same time worried about their relationship.

How come these two people who were once inseparable became like this today?

Since that incident, the princess' temper has become even colder, and every time his highness visits her, her attitude towards him becomes colder and colder.

Since then, the princess' personality has become even colder than before, and every time the prince comes, her attitude towards him becomes colder and colder.

"Princess, His Royal Highness is here." Fu Dong went out with the broken tableware. As soon as she opened the door, she ran into Xiao Zhan head-on.

"..." Jiang Xue turned her head, glanced at the door, and said nothing.

"What's going on?" Xiao Zhan saw the broken porcelain pieces in Fu Dong's hand and his brows were twisted into knots.

There was still half of the blood poison remaining in her body. Doctor Li said that the remaining blood poison seemed to have shown signs of recurring recently. In order to prevent her from being tortured by the blood poison again, he specially asked Doctor Li to prepare a medicinal soup to suppress the remaining toxins.

"Your Highness, the soup is poisonous and the princess cannot drink it." Fu Dong told the truth.

"Poisonous?" He had asked the kitchen to prepare this soup specifically for Jiang Xue. Who was so bold as to poison the princess?

Xiao Zhan turned around and gave Tieyi a wink. Tieyi understood and immediately started investigating.

"I understand. You go and get busy first." After sending Fu Dong away, Xiao Zhan went into the room alone and closed the door.

"I will find out who poisoned you." He came to Jiang Xue and saw her sitting barefoot on the bed. Her thin shoulders looked even more fragile against the thin clothes. He sighed, picked up the cloak on the screen and put it on her.

During the whole process, Jiang Xue didn't even look at him, but just looked out the window: "I don't care who poisoned me, I just want to know when you plan to let me leave."

Being locked in this magnificent cage is more painful than death for Jiang Xue in this life.

Hearing that she wanted to leave, Xiao Zhan's heart seemed to be tightened. The fingers that were holding her cloak suddenly tightened, and he hugged her tightly from behind.

"Do you really want to leave? Every time I come, this is the only thing you care about. Who do you want to find after you leave? Jun Li? Or that kid named Ming Lang?"

These days, he had nightmares every night. He dreamed that she blamed him for Liuli's death, left him to find Junli for the child named Minglang, and dreamed of all the intimate actions she and Junli might have done.

The vines of jealousy grew wildly, almost strangling his heart.

If he didn't have a bit of rationality left, he would have led his troops into the wasteland south of the city and taken Jun Li's life directly.

But the problem is that he can't do it. Jun Li is Xichen's master, even the emperor of Beiling can't touch him casually.

Jiang Xue ignored his questioning.

She admitted that she really wanted to find the child who looked exactly like her son Minglang.

Even though she knew that he had nothing to do with her in this life, she just couldn't let go of the obsession in her heart.

"How did you end the matter of Madam Chu?" In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, she deliberately changed the subject and talked about Baimian Sihe. Although she was under house arrest here for more than a month, he asked Qingfeng or Tieyi to report to her every day, so she was well-informed about the outside world.

"Bai Mian's body was handed over to the Dali Temple for disposal. I have already written a memorial to report to the emperor about the Chu family selling information to Xichen. Xiao Yan was furious and exterminated the entire Chu family on the charge of treason." By the way, he also took the opportunity to clean up the servants in Prince Gong's Mansion. Now there are a lot fewer spies in the mansion than before.

This can be considered a rare good thing in these days. Anyway, the Chu family can no longer be relied upon. Xiao Zhan just took this opportunity to completely eliminate the Chu family's influence, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

"The Chu family has been destroyed, and the power of the nobles has been damaged. Judging from the current situation, the other three noble families will definitely rely on the Zhou family to expand their power. So, Your Highness, you should accompany Concubine Zhou now, so that you can win over those nobles, right?"

Jiang Xue raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, and her voice was as ethereal as a ghost.

"Are you going to push me to another woman?" Xiao Zhan's face darkened and his tone became colder.

"For the sake of the overall situation, Your Highness should go and accompany Concubine Zhou."

She was too lazy to tell whether it was spoken in anger or from the heart.

Now she just wanted to be alone and didn't want to be in the same space with him.

A feeling of anger stuck in his throat. If it was anyone else, he wouldn't care so much, but it was her, the love of his heart. Even if he could write the most harsh words in the world to satirize the world, he didn't want her to be hurt in the slightest.

Suppressing his anger, he pinched her chin, forced her to face him, and asked word by word: "Do you really want me to accompany another woman?"

There is nothing more heartbreaking than having your loved one push you away.

"Your Highness, you have great ambitions. You took them into your palace, didn't you do it for the power behind them? Even if you don't do it now, when you ascend the throne in the future and face the three thousand beauties in your harem, don't you need to treat them equally and show your kindness to them?"

She could feel that as each word came out of her mouth, he was squeezing her chin with increasing force, causing her to gasp in pain.

"Okay, okay, okay..." Xiao Zhan laughed angrily, and there was unspeakable bitterness in his laughter.

He released the fingers that were pinching Jiang Xue's chin and slowly stood up.

"This prince really married a sensible, virtuous and generous princess." Xiao Zhan's words were full of sarcasm.

After hearing this, Jiang Xue felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest and she couldn't breathe.

But in front of Xiao Zhan, she didn't show any of her inner torment.

Seeing her cold face without any fluctuation, Xiao Zhan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

Did she really care about him? Why couldn't he see a ripple on her face?

The Jun Li in the dream hurt her so deeply that when she mentioned him, she could at least show disgust and hatred.

But now, when she was facing me, her expression didn't even change! Did she think I was inferior to Jun Li? Did she not care even if I had something with other women?

This thought made Xiao Zhan feel uneasy.

"Jiang Xue, have you ever loved me?"

Xiao Zhan asked the questions in his heart in a hoarse voice, feeling heartache and anxiety.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

With a bitter smile, Xiao Zhan said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that there is no more."

He staggered back two steps, his face full of sadness, and turned away.

"puff."

As he turned and left, Jiang Xue opened her red lips and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.

The snow-white dress was instantly dyed red, and she fell weakly on the bed like a lonely fallen leaf.

Jiang Xue fell ill. This was the most serious illness she had ever been since her rebirth.

She lay on the bed, her whole body burning as if on fire, her consciousness blurred, and she was extremely thirsty, but she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand to drink water.
