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

The Queen knew that Jiang Xue was threatening her, and her expression changed slightly: "Changle, I've seen your eloquence before, there's no need to threaten me like this. Don't worry, you won't stay up there for too long, I'll let you down right away."

Just as she finished her words, a silver needle flew from somewhere and pierced into Jiang Xue's neck, and her eyes went dark.

His body swayed, and he was plunged into darkness.

"Put her down." After confirming that Jiang Xue had lost consciousness, the queen raised her hand and asked someone to put Jiang Xue down.

Looking at Jiang Xue lying unconscious on the ground, Yue Tao took out a knife and was about to cut her face.

There was a flash of knife light, and when the blade was about to fall, another silver needle flew over and deflected Yue Tao's hand. The blade suddenly stabbed into Yue Tao's instep. The severe pain made Yue Tao speechless.

"You." Seeing her personal maid injured, the queen's eyes widened with anger.

"Don't glare at me like that. You were the ones who broke the agreement first. You agreed that you couldn't touch this person. Now that she has taken action, don't blame me for being rude." Mo Xue slowly appeared in the shadows. She was wearing the clothes of a palace maid.

She squatted down, checked Jiang Xue's neck, and after making sure that she was okay, she half-lifted her up.

"Okay, I'll take the person away. Here, here's what you want." She casually threw a golden key at the queen's feet. "By the way, the body of the little girl from the Wan family is behind the rockery. Don't make the wrong place. You should have arranged the retreat route."

"Just go out through the secret passage." The queen picked up the golden key. Yes, it was indeed the key to the Wan family's treasure house.

When he looked up again, Mo Xue and his men had disappeared.

Humph! Jiang Xue, even if you are eloquent, let's see what you can do this time? The queen held the key tightly, and the smile on her face became more and more cruel.

More than half an hour had passed and Jiang Xue had not returned yet, so Lu Linyi lit the flare without hesitation.

The red fireworks shot straight into the sky. Although the sky was clear, the bright red fireworks were still particularly eye-catching.

"Fourth brother, take a look." Xiao Yun raised his head and pointed. Before he finished his words, Xiao Zhan beside him disappeared like a gust of wind in the blink of an eye.

Everyone at the banquet was attracted by the red fireworks, and few people noticed that Prince Gong had quietly left his seat.

"These fireworks are really special. They are set off in the daytime. Is this a special program arranged by the Queen?" Emperor Beiling talked to himself while looking at the sky.

"Why don't you go and take a look yourself, Your Majesty? There might be unexpected surprises there." Su Ming, with a smile on his face, urged Emperor Beiling to go and take a look behind the palace.

At this moment, Jiang Xue should have been taken away by Jun Li's men. How could he not go and see the effect of this carefully planned play?

Xiao Zhan rushed to the place where the flare was sent, only to see Lu Linyi standing there holding an empty bamboo tube. His heart suddenly tightened.

This flare was specially prepared for Jiang Xue, and it would never be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Now not only was the flare used, but it was not fired by her personally, so you can imagine how urgent the situation was.

"Where is she?"

As soon as he saw Lu Linyi, Xiao Zhan's first reaction was to ask about Jiang Xue's whereabouts.

"Xiaoxue was called away by the Queen, and she hasn't come back yet."

As soon as Lu Linyi finished speaking, Xiao Zhan disappeared from her sight like a gust of wind.

"Ninth sister, what's going on?" Xiao Yun also ran over and saw Xiao Zhan hurriedly leave after staying for less than a moment.

He knew it must be a very urgent situation, so in order to find out the whole story, he stopped and asked Xiao Gui.

Xiaoxue!

While running, Xiao Zhan kept repeating Jiang Xue's name in his heart, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

"What business has Prince Gong brought to this palace in such a hurry?"

The queen was lying on the beauty couch, looking at Xiao Zhan who was standing in the hall and asking questions knowingly.

Looking at his rare gloomy face, she felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in her heart.

"I heard that the princess was summoned by the Queen. I have something to ask her. Please ask the Queen to let her come out to see me."

Xiao Zhan looked around like an eagle, but there was no sign of Jiang Xue.

"Princess Gong? I did summon her, but I only talked to her for a few words before letting her go. Why? She didn't go back?" The Queen sat up, looking innocent: "Where could a princess go?"

"This is exactly what I want to ask you, Your Majesty." Xiao Zhan said coldly. This was the first time he was so rude to the Queen in public: "It is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air. Your Majesty, as the last person to see the princess, please tell me where the princess went."

"Prince Gong's words leave me a little confused. You also know that Princess Gong is a living person. Who can control where she wants to go? Besides, everyone in Beiling knows Princess Gong's personality. Who can force her to do anything?"

"I never said anyone forced her. How did the Queen come to such a conclusion?" Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes, and the look in his eyes made the Queen feel cold. In order not to appear guilty, she straightened her back.

“Anyone who sees Prince Gong’s aggressive attitude would think that I have used force on the princess. As a bastard’s son, is this how you treat your stepmother?” Because Xiao Zhan’s aura was too strong, the queen finally used her status to suppress him.

"The Emperor has arrived." Just as the two were on the verge of a fight, the eunuch's voice echoed throughout the palace.

Emperor Beiling then walked into Fengming Palace, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, as if it would explode at any time.

"Your Highness." The Queen immediately stood up and saluted. After Emperor Beiling sat down, she slowly sat on the Phoenix Throne.

"The emperor doesn't look well. What happened?" The queen noticed the serious expression of Emperor Beiling and asked tentatively.

Emperor Beiling glanced at her with cold eyes: "The daughter of the Wan family is gone, did you know that?"

The Wan family was a family that he had tried very hard to win over, and their wealth was an important pillar of Beiling.

At the Chaofeng Banquet today, he specifically asked the Queen to take good care of the mother and daughter of the Wan family, and it would be best if she could arrange a marriage for the daughter of the Wan family so that he could bring the Wan family into his possession.

But on the way here, he found Wan Qiaoer's body lying behind the rockery in the courtyard, which completely ruined his plan.

"Qiao'er is gone? What happened?" The queen pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes, looking like she couldn't believe it.

Xiao Zhan stood aside and listened, his eyelids twitching, and he always felt a bad premonition.

"When we found her, she was lying behind the rockery. She was no longer breathing and her body was cold." Bei Ling Huang's tone became more and more impatient. He turned to Xiao Zhan:

"She was also found with Princess Gong's maid Xiaochun. Prince Gong, where is your princess now? Since this matter involves her maid, why didn't she see her? After such a big incident, didn't she explain it?"

A sneer flashed across the Queen's eyes, and then she turned anxious. She followed the words of the Beiling Emperor and said, "Yes, Your Highness Prince Gong, this is a matter of life and death. Xiaochun, as the personal maid of Princess Gong, appeared at the crime scene. Princess Gong should come to explain. Where is she now?"
