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

No matter how dissatisfied he was with Cao Zhilan, he still had to respect the Cao family.

Mo Huan's words made Shangguan Jin let go of his hand. He looked coldly at Cao Zhilan who had barely recovered her breath, and said sternly: "Before I get angry, you'd better explain it clearly. You know the consequences of angering me."

When Jiang Xue woke up, it was already late at night.

The cold wind blew into the room through the window, and she felt a shiver. She tried to move her shoulder, but the pain was still unbearable.

She touched the bandaged wound, which was covered with herbs.

Although the old doctor was timid, his medicine was quite effective.

Thinking about this, she stood up with great pain, wrapped herself in a blanket and prepared to close the window. The wind was too cold, and she was afraid of the cold to begin with, so she couldn't stand this kind of chill.

"What are you going to do?"

As soon as she sat up, Xiao Zhan came in with a bowl of medicine and porridge. Seeing her barefoot, he frowned, put down his things and came to help her.

"I want to close the window. It's too cold."

His warm hand gently grasped her slender arm, and with his other hand he lowered her feet back onto the bed.

Jiang Xue pointed to the window and said helplessly, "Her body temperature was already very low and her feet were also cold."

Xiao Zhan knew that she was afraid of the cold, so he covered her with a quilt, then walked to the window and closed it.

"Thank you."

After being injured, she seemed more docile than usual, leaning against the head of the bed, pinching a corner of the quilt, and thanking Xiao Zhan. She touched the back of her ear, felt the skin at the edge of the mask, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her disguise was not discovered, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with it in this situation.

After her rebirth, Jiang Xue was once fearless, but now she is afraid to face Xiao Zhan directly. This makes her feel absurd and helpless.

After all, they have been through so much and hurt each other, so it really takes a lot of courage to meet each other again.

"Eat something first." Xiao Zhan felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her pale face. He brought a bowl of light millet porridge and personally scooped a spoonful to her mouth.

Jiang Xue was stunned, her cheeks slightly hot under the mask. Was he going to feed her?

"I can do it myself," she said, reaching for the bowl.

But Xiao Zhan gently dodged it and insisted on feeding her the porridge, "You are injured, don't move, or you will tear the wound." He noticed the pain on her face when she reached out her hand just now.

After trying it, Jiang Xue found that the action really made the wound hurt severely, so she had no choice but to accept Xiao Zhan's kindness and obediently opened her mouth to drink the porridge.

"What happened to your hand?" She noticed black marks on his hand holding the bowl.

Xiao Zhan has always been clean, so it is unusual for him to have stains on his hands.

"I accidentally smoked it when I was making a fire." He said calmly, but his eyes were always focused on the changes in Jiang Xue's expression.

Lighting a fire? Jiang Xue was surprised.

As the prince of Beiling Kingdom, why would Xiao Zhan cook by himself?

Looking at the porridge in front of her, she suddenly realized something and looked up at him: "Did you cook this porridge?"

Xiao Zhan nodded. Although his expression was calm, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Xue felt a warm current in her heart and was deeply moved.

There was a faint burnt smell in the porridge, obviously because it was his first time cooking and he failed to control the heat well.

But this bowl of porridge was cooked for her by him personally. Even though it had a slightly burnt smell, it made her feel warmer than those precious delicacies.

In fact, she knew in her heart that her cooking skills were really poor and compared to Xiao Zhan's craftsmanship, she had no right to complain.

Soon, she finished the bowl of light porridge, and her hunger was finally relieved.

Xiao Zhan put down the empty bowl, picked up the already cooled medicine and handed it to Jiang Xue.

In order to recover her health as soon as possible, Jiang Xue drank the medicine in one breath.

He licked his lips, his mouth full of bitterness, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhan asked knowingly. Seeing her expression, he felt a little bit of revengeful pleasure in his heart.

Although he couldn't bear to see her suffer, he could accept seeing her suffer a little.

"Is there any dessert?" She looked at Xiao Zhan while fanning herself. The medicine was too bitter!

"Sorry, there are no sweets here." A hint of mischief flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes, and he turned and walked out.

He called the waiter outside the door and asked him to buy some osmanthus cake.

The waiter was a little surprised and thought, doesn't this young man seldom eat sweets?

Although puzzled, he still did as he was told and soon bought back the hot osmanthus cake.

"By the way, how is the situation with the third princess?" Just as the waiter came in, Jiang Xue saw the osmanthus cake. Her eyes lit up and she immediately picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste immediately dispelled the bitterness in her mouth.

Seeing the satisfaction on her face, Xiao Zhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and answered her question softly: "Shangguan Xun was poisoned by the tranquilizing powder and just woke up. It may be because of the overdose. She is a little confused now."

While she was treating her wounds, Xiao Zhan went to visit Shangguan Xun and sent someone to take care of her.

"Anshen Powder..." Jiang Xue remembered the rich fragrance she smelled when she entered Shangguan Xun's room earlier.

The tranquilizing powder must have been mixed in with the spices, no wonder the smell is so pungent.

"Is there any movement at the Prince's Mansion?"

At this time, Shangguan Jin should have already left the palace. Facing the disappearance of the third princess, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.

"Mo Chenjun has already gone to the Prince's Mansion. Shangguan Jin will probably arrive soon."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion downstairs.

When I went out, I saw Mo Chenjun, Shangguan Jin, Jiang Chen and a group of followers from the Prince's Mansion coming to the inn in a threatening manner.

"Your Highness, please come this way."

Mo Chenjun walked in front and led everyone to a guest room at the deepest part of the second floor. When he opened the door, he found Shangguan Xun sitting on the bed, with no reaction to the outside world.

When Shangguan Jin saw his sister like this, he hurried forward to check.

"How is this going?"

Seeing Shangguan Xun's dazed expression, Shangguan Jin immediately realized that the situation was not good. He stared at Mo Chenjun and asked, "What did you do to the third princess? Why did she become like this?"

"Your Highness, the Third Princess has been injected with a drug called Anshensan. If this drug is used improperly, it will cause serious damage to the brain and lead to a decline in intelligence."

Jiang Xue heard the noise outside and walked out of the room to explain. Her voice was loud enough for Shangguan Jin to hear every word.

"Xiaoxue, are you okay?"

After Jiang Chen learned that Jiang Xue was injured, he saw that she looked not well, so he walked closer with concern and asked softly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

She gave her brother a comforting smile, then turned her eyes to the prince.

"Your Highness, you came from the palace and must have heard about me and the third princess. I want to talk to you alone. Are you willing?"

This time, she almost met with misfortune because of Cao Zhilan. Jiang Xue was not the kind of person who would endure silently, and she planned to take action.

"Give me a reason."

Because of his feelings for Jiang Chen, Shangguan Jin always felt a little resistant to her.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly and looked at her brother: "Master Huaichen, you should come too."
