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

Hey, Wang Changqing, this old fox, has been in the officialdom for so many years and he is indeed quite capable.

"That girl is so naive. An old man who never cared about her suddenly showed up and claimed to be her relative. She accepted him without asking any questions and let Wang Changqing use her as a stepping stone." Si Ruochen really couldn't understand what this girl was thinking.

"After all, they are her biological children, and blood ties are always the strongest." Jiang Chen said, "Wang Xiurong is in favor now, and her words are more effective than those of the ministers, so the prince and Shangguan Xi both want to get close to her.

Wang Ruixuan is her brother, and the prince will definitely not kill him easily. I guess he just wanted to use Wang Ruixuan's safety as a bargaining chip with Wang Xiurong at the beginning, but he didn't expect that he would die. Now the prince is the one with the most headache. "

"Wang Ruixuan was taken to the inner court by the prince in front of everyone, and then died. Naturally, everyone thought it was Shangguan Jin who did it. In this case, Wang Xiurong will definitely not help Shangguan Jin, and Shangguan Xi will benefit from it."

All the twists and turns, intrigues and schemes involved are ultimately for the sake of profit.

Whoever gets more benefits is more likely to take action. Jiang Xue analyzed it and quickly guessed that Shangguan Xi was most likely involved.

"That's right. Apart from him, no one would kill the useless Wang Ruixuan."

Jiang Chen rubbed his eyebrows and felt pain in his temples.

After a while, he stood up and said, "I have to go to the Prince's Mansion."

He and Shangguan Jin are like a community with a shared destiny. He cannot just ignore Shangguan Jin when he is in trouble.

Now that the news of Wang Ruixuan's death has reached the Young Master's Mansion, the palace must have been in an uproar.

"I will go with you!"

Jiang Xue was worried about her brother's safety and decided to accompany him to the Prince's Mansion.

Si Ruochen was left in the young master's mansion to look after the house.

"These two siblings are really quick and agile."

Watching the two figures walking away, Si Ruochen shrugged, thinking that it was a good thing that he had Yunyan to keep him company so he wouldn't be too lonely.

I turned around to look for Yunyan, but found that the bed in the room was clean and tidy as new. It was obvious that no one had slept in it last night.

"Where did the people go?"

He walked around the room and found a note on the dressing table. It read: Thank you for your care these days. I have passed away, don’t worry about me. The note was signed by Yunyan.

It’s strange. This maid’s injury hasn’t healed yet. Where can she run to?

With a lot of questions in his mind, Si Ruochen put away the note and looked out the window thoughtfully.

Jiang Xue and her brother Jiang Chen came to the Prince's Mansion. As soon as they arrived, they ran into Shangguan Jin who had just changed into court clothes and was about to enter the palace to see the Emperor.

He was very busy with Wang Ruixuan's matter. Early in the morning, someone came from the palace and said that the emperor was very angry and asked him to go to the palace to explain clearly. Shangguan Jin dared not delay and set off immediately.

As soon as he saw Jiang Chen, Shangguan Jin's eyes lit up and he thought that the two of them were in perfect harmony.

"Your Highness, let me go to the palace with you." Jiang Chen had already inquired about the situation on the way and felt that the situation was not good, so he took the initiative to offer to accompany Shangguan Jin into the palace.

"Okay." Shangguan Jin certainly had no reason to refuse. But when he saw Jiang Xue, he paused and said:

"Miss Si is here too. I just have something to trouble you with. My third sister was frightened last night and hasn't woken up yet. I don't know when I can come back from the palace, so I would like to ask you to do me a favor and look after her so that I don't have to worry about her."

Jiang Xue originally wanted to refuse. Her brother was facing many risks when entering the palace this time. How could she leave her brother there alone just to take care of the third princess?

But Jiang Chen also knew that she was worried about her safety. Rather than letting her take risks, it would be better to let her stay here to take care of the third princess, so that he could feel more at ease.

He patted Jiang Xue's head gently and gave her a reassuring look: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said so, you can stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion, don't worry, I will be fine."

After saying this, without giving Jiang Xue a chance to refute, he walked out of the house shoulder to shoulder with Shangguan Jin and got on the carriage to the palace.

"How is the third princess now?"

Because she had to stay to take care of Shangguan Xun, Jiang Xue was led by her maid into the third princess's room.

As soon as she entered the room, a strong smell of incense hit her in the face, making Jiang Xue cough.

"What kind of fragrance is this? Why is it so choking?"

She was extremely sensitive to smells, and the fragrance was so strong that it made her feel very uncomfortable.

She covered her nose and mouth and asked the maid to take the incense burner away. It took her a while to recover.

"Miss Si, this is the calming incense our Crown Princess brought. She said that the Third Princess was frightened, and using this incense will help her calm down."

The maid bowed her head and said respectfully.

Soothing incense?

Jiang Xue looked back at the maid. Although she didn't know anything about spices, as the princess of Qian Kingdom and the Queen of Xichen in her previous life, she had used many incenses. The smell of that incense was so pungent, how could it be a soothing incense?

Sent by the Crown Princess.

It seems that the Crown Princess has no good intentions towards the Third Princess.

"The third princess is still sleeping soundly."

The maid gently lifted the curtain, revealing Shangguan Xun's sleeping figure.

Jiang Xue moved to the bedside, placed her fingers lightly on her wrist, and carefully felt her pulse.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his pulse, he just got a little frightened, so why won't he wake up?

"Has the Third Princess ever woken up during this time?"

Even if you are a sleepyhead, more than ten hours have passed and most people should have woken up long ago.

She tried to pat Shangguan Xun's face, but there was no response.

I wanted to ask the maid next to me, but when I turned around, she was gone.

It's really weird, there's a strange atmosphere in this room.

She felt something was wrong along the way. This was the Prince's Mansion. The incident with Wang Ruixuan just happened last night, and yet there wasn't even a guard at the Third Princess' door?

Does this make sense?

The princess almost got into trouble last night. Shangguan Jin loves his third sister so much, it is impossible for him not to strengthen security.

Besides, she didn't see anyone else in the room except the maid.

Is this really the treatment Shangguan Xun deserves?

Just as Jiang Xue was wondering in her heart, there was a rustling sound outside the door.

Then I heard the door slam shut! The windows were also blocked tightly.

Jiang Xue hurried over to try to open the doors and windows, but unfortunately they couldn't be opened at all.

The doors and windows were locked from the outside and could not be opened from the inside.

"Pile them all on me!"

The Crown Princess shouted orders outside the door.

Jiang Xue looked through the window and saw piles of hay piled up like small hills along the edge of the house.

"Set fire to the house!"

After a while, when the hay was laid out, the Crown Princess glanced at the room with a sneer, then raised her hand to give orders.

As the torch was lit, the hay immediately burst into flames, and the pungent black smoke seeped in through the gaps in the doors and windows.

The flames spread rapidly and climbed up to the beams in the blink of an eye.
