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

"Your Highness the Crown Prince should have known some of the circumstances before coming here. He should have known that the Crown Princess was the mastermind behind the persecution of the Third Princess, right?"

Shangguan Jin nodded.

In the Prince's Mansion, Concubine Mo Huan told him that the Crown Princess had set fire and killed people and ordered a manhunt.

Although Cao Zhilan tried her best to defend herself, Shangguan Jin trusted Mo Huan more.

In fact, he didn't like Cao Zhilan, and could even be said to be very disgusted with her.

She is beautiful on the outside, but despicable on the inside. She is jealous, does not know the greater good, does not know how to judge the situation, and sometimes even relies on the power of the Cao family to act domineering in front of him.

He kept her mainly because of the power of the Cao family behind her. He married her in order to use Cao Yuan's power to help him take the position of crown prince.

In order to secure his daughter's position and for the honor of the family, Cao Yuan did help him ascend to the position of crown prince.

However, after he became the crown prince, Cao Yuan began to secretly instigate old ministers to spread rumors that his position as crown prince was not obtained legitimately.

He also used his position in the court to try to threaten him through checks and balances to ensure that the interests of the Cao family were not harmed.

Over the years, Cao Yuan had been causing trouble outside under the guise of the Prince's Mansion. If he hadn't been vigilant and stopped them in time every time, he would have been killed by Cao Yuan many times.

Recently, there have been rumors that Cao Yuan has colluded with some eunuchs to interfere in state affairs, and that Crown Princess Cao Zhilan reports his whereabouts to Cao Yuan in detail every day, making his situation even more dangerous.

In order to get rid of Cao Yuan's control, Shangguan Jin had long wanted to get rid of Cao Zhilan from his side, but he never found the right opportunity.

"I heard that the Crown Princess has caused a lot of trouble to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Changle is willing to solve this problem for you. What do you think?" Jiang Xue said.

Since arriving in Huyin City, Jiang Xue has learned a lot. From Jiang Chen, she learned about the pressure the Cao family put on Shangguan Jin, and also knew why Cao Zhilan was so domineering.

Originally, she didn't want to be an enemy of the Cao family, but Cao Zhilan chose to provoke her. Therefore, she decided not to be soft-hearted.

"What do you want in return?" Shangguan Jin asked.

Years of court struggles had taught him that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and he knew that Jiang Xue must have some ulterior motive in offering help.

Jiang Xue is a shrewd person. She offered to help him get rid of his worries, and naturally she had her own plans.

"I hope Your Highness can owe me a favor, and at some point in the future, Your Highness can repay this favor," Jiang Xue said.

Shangguan Jin was slightly startled after hearing this, and then he laughed. This time there was no sarcasm in his laughter, but instead he revealed his admiration for Jiang Xue. He realized that this girl named Changle was definitely not an ordinary person.

He really enjoyed talking to this wise woman because she always gave him new insights.

"This little girl was so innocent in the past. Who would have thought that she would become so smart when she grew up."

In Jiang Chen's memory, Jiang Xue is still the little girl who first went to Changle Mountain to learn skills. At that time, she was inexperienced, all her thoughts were written on her face, and she looked innocent.

But he didn't know that his sister had already experienced a reincarnation.

After experiencing a bloody rebirth, she is no longer the innocent girl of the past.

"Royal brother, stop treating me like a child." Jiang Xue chuckled and pushed away Jiang Chen's hand that was stroking her hair. After tidying up her hair, she revealed her plan to Shangguan Jin.

About half an hour later, the door of the room was pushed open and three people walked out.

Jiang Xue put on the disguise mask again, and after helping Shangguan Xun use acupuncture to expel the tranquilizing powder from her body, she let Shangguan Jin take her away.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Before leaving, Shangguan Jin nodded to her.

"It's time for us to go back." Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chen didn't want Jiang Xue to stay in the inn any longer, so he checked out and prepared to leave.

"Your Highness, please make way."

Seeing Xiao Zhan standing in front of him, Jiang Chen's face turned gloomy.

The shadow of the North-South War has always haunted him. In the first three months after arriving in Beixi, he dreamed every night of the horrific scene of his father being skinned and dried, and the wailing of members of the royal family seemed to echo in his ears.

He was filled with hatred towards Beiling Kingdom and wished to kill every Beiling person.

Especially when he heard that this man had hurt Jiang Xue before, Jiang Chen became even more angry with him.

"It's not that I intend to stop her, but her injuries are serious and she is not suitable for a bumpy ride. Although this inn is close to the young master's mansion, it will take half an hour to get there by car. It's very cold at night, and her injuries will be even worse."

Xiao Zhan didn't care about Jiang Chen's hostility. What he cared about was Jiang Xue's health.

It's really ironic. He originally planned to make Jiang Xue suffer after finding her.

Now he still wants to protect every bit of her as he did in the past.

Perhaps, she is his destined concern in this life.

When Jiang Chen heard this, his body stiffened. He turned around to look at the pale-faced Jiang Xue, and the guilt in his heart became heavier.

He already regretted letting her get hurt this time, and now he didn't notice his sister's injuries.

Jiang Chen felt that he was totally unqualified as a brother.

"I'm fine." Seeing the self-blame in her brother's eyes, Jiang Xue smiled and comforted him. She gently pulled his hand and said softly, "Just be careful on the way back. I know my physical condition well."

When Xiao Zhan heard her words, his handsome face instantly turned gloomy.

The shopkeeper and Mo Chenjun nearby clearly felt that the atmosphere around this host suddenly became much colder.

They all subconsciously took half a step back.

Xiao Zhan looked at her holding Jiang Chen's hand tightly, raised his eyebrows, and without saying a word, he picked her up.

Jiang Xue was startled by this sudden action.

She held her breath, staring at the set of his determined jaw.

"Since you are injured, you should stay here obediently. The doctor cannot treat you. Don't neglect your body."

After saying this, he went upstairs without hesitation. It was not until the door was closed that Jiang Chen came to her senses and realized that Xiao Zhan had actually carried her away in public.

Just as he was about to chase after him, he was stopped by Mo Chenjun.

"If Young Master Huaichen is worried, you might as well stay here today. This inn is spacious and has plenty of guest rooms. The silver you just gave is enough for a month's accommodation."

As he said this, he gave the shopkeeper a look, indicating that he should arrange a guest room as soon as possible.

Xiao Zhan is obviously interested in this girl, and this time he plans to pursue her openly.

Although he thought it was not right to steal someone else's fiancée, since they were brothers, he would help if his brother wanted to pursue her. Mr. Huaichen, I'm sorry.

"Hey, you..."

Jiang Xue didn't come to her senses until she was put on the bed.

This guy actually carried her away in public.
