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

"Si Ruoxin has offended the royal family and wronged the princess. According to our Beixi rules, she should be dragged to the inner court and beaten with fifty sticks, and she should reflect on her mistakes facing the wall."

Shangguan Jin gave the order with a stern face, and the guards behind him took the order and walked straight towards Jiang Xue.

If he was beaten with fifty sticks, even if he survived, he would be half dead.

Not to mention Shangguan Jin's determination to kill her, if Jiang Xue really entered the gate of the Inner Court, her chances of escaping would be very slim.

After all, those people from the Inner Court were very careless when they attacked. If they accidentally used too much force or hit the wrong spot, the person would die instantly.

I heard that the executioners in the Nei Ting Si of Bei Xi were all carried out by a group of eunuchs, who were somewhat psychologically distorted due to their physical defects.

They often come up with some perverted new torture instruments to use on people, causing them to suffer all kinds of torture before they die, and finally die in agony.

"Oh, this girl is really in big trouble."

Mo Chenjun held his cheek and looked at Xiao Zhan who looked calm: "Should we help him?"

This girl is a person that Linglong Pavilion focuses on. Seeing that she is being plotted against, doesn’t this boy intend to lend a hand?

"We don't need to do anything."

Xiao Zhan shook his head, looked at the woman in front of him who was as steady as a rock, and said calmly: "She will naturally find a way to get out of this."

"Brother, please don't...please get out of the way!"

The third princess never thought that Shangguan Jin would use her casual words as a weapon. Seeing that Jiang Xue was about to be taken away by the guards, the girl quickly stood up and pushed the guard's hand away.

"Third Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trying to give you justice. What are you doing?"

Seeing that this woman was about to be eliminated, the Crown Princess had already planned how to torture her, but her plan was ruined by the Third Princess.

Her face suddenly changed and she glared at the third princess, her teeth itching with anger.

"I don't want any justice, Second Brother, she's quite pitiful, can you please not punish her?"

The third princess opened her arms and stood in front of Jiang Xue, looking at Shangguan Jin eagerly.

In fact, ever since the last incident at the inn, when the Third Princess learned that Jiang Xue had lost her parents, she was no longer so hostile towards her.

Because Shangguan Xun herself also lost her biological mother, she deeply understood the pain of losing a mother.

At the same time, she also felt particularly sorry for what she had said before about Jiang Xue "being born by a mother but not raised by her".

Although she can be unreasonable at times, she is not completely ignorant of right and wrong.

That time at the inn, she deliberately made trouble out of jealousy, and she knew it very well.

Because she was unsure, after returning to the palace, when her parents asked her about it, Xun'er only said that she had suffered a little injustice, and did not mention Jiang Xue.

She understood how much weight the royal family's words carried and how frightening others would be when they heard them.

Coupled with Jiang Xue's words of thanks just now, Shangguan Xun's heart was really touched.

This was the first person to thank her, and she really didn't want anything to happen to this girl.

"Pitiable? Third sister, your words confuse me. How can a woman who dares to offend the royal family be pitiful?"

Shangguan Jin straightened his back even more. Did his third sister know something about the inside story?

"Brother Crown Prince, Ruoxin has not caused any trouble since she entered Huyin City. Even if she has some friction with the Third Princess, it is probably just a minor conflict between women. Please be gracious and don't embarrass Ruoxin anymore."

Jiang Chen stood up and said to Shangguan Jin.

Seeing him stand up to speak for Jiang Xue, Shangguan Jin's face turned stiff.

The hands on his knees slowly clenched and pinched the corner of his clothes.

"Huai Chen, you have been in Beixi for so long, you should know the rules here. I don't mean to make trouble on purpose, there is a hierarchy, Si Ruoxin is a commoner, how dare she offend the princess of the royal family.

If we don't teach her a lesson, how can we convince everyone? I know she is your fiancée and you want to protect her, which I understand, but rules are rules and cannot be broken casually. "

"That's right, Master Huaichen, as the prince's tutor, you should abide by the rules of our Beixi. This girl offended the princess and insulted the dignity of the royal family. If she is not punished, who knows how many people will follow her example. Where will our royal family put its face then?"

The Crown Princess was already unhappy with Shangguan Jin because he attached great importance to Jiang Chen, and today was a good opportunity to vent her anger.

"Brother, I really don't care! That conflict was actually just a misunderstanding, and I was the one who provoked it. I touched her sore spot first, so..."

Shangguan Xun didn't expect that her words would cause such a big commotion, and she felt even more sorry for Jiang Xue. She tried her best to persuade Shangguan Jin not to punish Jiang Xue, but before she finished speaking, a figure flashed by and Jiang Xue walked out.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince said that I have offended the Third Princess, so I will be punished, right?"

She looked straight at Shangguan Jin, not afraid at all.

Faced with this situation, she remained calm and composed.

A cold aura of majesty emanated from her. She stood there like an inviolable god, and no one dared to act rashly.

Even Shangguan Jin was stunned by her aura and was stunned for a long time.

Facing her question, Shangguan Jin nodded: "That's right, the dignity of our Beixi royal family cannot be trampled on by anyone!"

"The Inner Court will impose fifty strokes of the cane. This is no joke. If not dead, the person will be half-crippled. Your Highness, do you think people should be convinced by such a severe punishment?" Jiang Xue raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"What do you mean?" Her words made Shangguan Jin frown.

"Your Highness, if you say that I contradicted the Third Princess, you need to provide real evidence. Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence? The Third Princess herself said that the incident was just a misunderstanding. Why does Your Highness still insist on holding me accountable?

It's impossible that His Royal Highness can decide life and death with just one word, right? If that's the case, the rules of our Beixi are really too overbearing. It's scary to think about it. What would the common people think if they knew about it?

What would the emperor think if he heard that the crown prince had sentenced someone to a serious crime without any evidence? What would those old ministers who followed the emperor to establish his empire think? "

Jiang Xue's words made Shangguan Jin feel upset.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Jiang Xue knew that she was beginning to gain the upper hand.

You know, Shangguan Jin's position as the crown prince was not stable at the beginning, and now there are still many people who are skeptical about his status as the crown prince.

The incident at Huyin that year, the open and secret struggles between the former crown prince and Shangguan Jin, caused a lot of uproar, and everyone in the Ten Kingdoms knew about it.

Many scholars secretly accused Shangguan Jin of obtaining the position of crown prince in an illegitimate way, saying that he deliberately snatched it from the previous crown prince.

Most of these literati were old ministers who followed the emperor to conquer the world.

In order to secure this position, Shangguan Jin put in a lot of effort and diligently performed his duties as crown prince in order to suppress the opposition voices of those old ministers.
