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

If word gets out about this incident, saying the prince is arbitrary and convicted of a serious crime without any evidence,

The opposition voices that had finally subsided will probably come back again, and this time they may be even more intense.

On the surface, Jiang Xue's words were a reminder to Shangguan Jin to provide evidence, but in reality, she was using his status as the crown prince to warn him not to act recklessly, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Sure enough, after being threatened by Jiang Xue, even if Shangguan Jin wanted to cut the Gordian knot, he had to think carefully.

Today is the birthday banquet of the Crown Princess, which is a top priority in Huyin City. Everything that happens at the banquet will be discussed. Although Jiang Xue's words hurt her heart, they are also true.

The temporary silence of those old ministers who opposed him was not because they accepted him as the crown prince, but because they were waiting for an opportunity to find something to hold against him.

If he is even slightly careless, he may face an irreparable situation.

"You ignorant little bitch, how dare you speak to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like that? Come, take this woman away and beat her to death immediately. No need to send her to the inner court."

Seeing that Shangguan Jin remained silent, the Crown Princess could no longer sit still. She pointed at Jiang Xue and yelled, saying that she wanted this girl to die in front of her immediately.

"Who dares to touch her!" Jiang Chen took a few steps to Jiang Xue and protected his only sister.

He stared at the guards who surrounded him and said with great momentum: "The emperor has ordered that anyone who tortures or kills innocent people in Huyin City will be severely punished! Are you going to disobey the emperor's order?"

As soon as these words came out, the guards stopped.

They looked at each other in confusion. On one side was the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, and on the other side was the Crown Princess. Who should they listen to?

"Everyone, stand down!"

Just as the guards were hesitating, Shangguan Jin gave the order in a deep voice, his tone icy and chilling.

"Your Highness..." The Crown Princess was about to instigate him to kill Jiang Xue, but he glared at her, and she was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth.

That look was like the god of death coming. If I said one more word, I probably wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.

The prince spoke personally, and the guards slowly retreated.

Shangguan Jin felt a pain in his heart as if being pricked by a needle when he saw Jiang Chen glaring at him in order to protect Jiang Xue.

He had never looked at himself so coldly before.

Is this all to protect that woman?

He glanced again at Jiang Xue who was hiding behind Jiang Chen.

What happened just now forced him to admit that this woman was indeed something.

So calm and smart that it makes people sweat.

Even when he was forced into a desperate situation, he was able to turn the situation around single-handedly and crush the person who was putting pressure on him.

If this girl could work for me, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

However, thinking about her relationship with Linglong Pavilion, he held the Linglong dice in his hand and fell into thought again.

"What happened today was really a misunderstanding. I was too worried about my third sister and almost caused a big accident."

After Shangguan Jin pondered for a while, his expression eased a little, and he forced an apologetic smile towards Jiang Xue and Jiang Chen: "Miss Si, Huai Chen, you have to understand the feelings of being a brother. I watched my third sister grow up, and I don't want her to suffer any grievances."

These words touched Jiang Chen's heart. He felt the same way. He was also worried about his sister's safety.

Although his expression eased a little, he still felt uncomfortable when he thought about how Shangguan Jin was determined to punish Jiang Xue.

Without saying anything, he just nodded and returned to his seat with Jiang Xue.

The following banquet was finally much calmer, but because Shangguan Jin had been too harsh on Jiang Xue before, Jiang Chen never spoke to him again.

He originally thought that Jiang Xue was safest around him, and even if Shangguan Jin was on guard against her, he would not cause trouble for her for his sake. Who knew that today's incident made him see clearly how determined Shangguan Jin's attitude towards Jiang Xue was.

Why? Jiang Xue had nothing to do with him, so why did he go to such great lengths to even use the third princess he always loved to deal with Jiang Xue?

During the whole banquet, he thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure it out.

Shangguan Jin glanced at him from time to time, and seeing that he was deliberately avoiding her eyes, she felt very uncomfortable, waves of pain coming one after another.

"Look at your eyes, they are really vicious."

Mo Chenjun held the wine glass and glanced at Jiang Xue opposite him. This woman in the bamboo hat was really capable.

Not only did she resolve the crisis with just a few words, she also gave Shangguan Jin a warning.

Before, he was wondering why a great man like Jiang Chen would fall in love with her, but now it seems reasonable.

This girl is smart, calm and decisive when facing things, and she knows the big picture and the general trend. If it were me, I would also be fascinated by her.

Mo Chenjun looked at Jiang Xue with admiration in his eyes. Xiao Zhan reached out and covered his eyes with a "snap". He didn't like Mo Chenjun looking at her like that.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Mo Chenjun had never seen this guy so childish before. He smiled and pulled away his hands that were covering his eyes, looking at him helplessly.

"Don't set your sights on her."

Xiao Zhan glanced at him sideways, then tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass.

This kid...

Mo Chenjun stroked his chin and stared at him thoughtfully: "Are you familiar with that girl?"

Otherwise, how could he be so sure that girl was capable?

"When she was negotiating with Shangguan Xi, she saw through Shangguan Xi's little trick and rescued the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Mo Chenjun widened his eyes when he heard this. This girl turned out to be Xiao Zhan's person?

That's not right. If she was really in cahoots with Xiao Zhan, why would he let the people from Linglong Pavilion investigate her background?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became; Mo Chenjun was having trouble wrapping his mind around it.

"The banquet is almost over. Find an opportunity to help me get close to Shangguan Jin."

Seeing that the banquet was about to end, Xiao Zhan had to find an opportunity to get the exquisite dice back from Shangguan Jin.

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

This guy is Hu Yin's general. Shangguan Jin is eager to pull him into his circle. As long as he opens his mouth, there is no reason for Shangguan Jin to see him.

"It's almost dark, let's end today's banquet here. Thank you all for coming all the way here to congratulate the Crown Princess. I am really happy from the bottom of my heart."

The banquet lasted for four hours and finally ended when it was almost dark.

After Shangguan Jin announced the end of the party, Jiang Xue was about to leave but was stopped by Shangguan Jin.

"Huai Chen, I have something to tell you."

Shangguan Jin asked to talk to Jiang Chen alone, and Jiang Xue felt a little nervous.

But judging by the way he treats his brother, I guess nothing bad will happen.

Worried about her brother, Jiang Xue did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the Prince's Mansion and waited.

Because Shangguan Jin wanted to see Jiang Chen first, Mo Chenjun and the others stayed a little longer, just like Jiang Xue.
