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

"Your Majesty, this woman has a vicious heart. Please do something for the Fourth Prince." Wang Xiurong snuggled up to the emperor, pointing at Jiang Xue and asking her to punish her.

"Madam Xiurong, Miss Si just said that what was given to Miss Cao was medicine for wounds. Now the bottle contains this dirty stuff, which is enough to prove that it was not given by Miss Si. Why are you still holding her back?"

Shangguan Jin was dissatisfied with Wang Xiurong's behavior towards the Young Master's Mansion. This woman had obviously sided with Shangguan Xi, and it was impossible to deal with his forces.

"We are in front of the palace. As she said before, words are not enough. Does she mean it is medicine? Maybe what she gave Miss Cao from the beginning was the dirty thing that the prince said?"

Wang Xiurong hated Shangguan Jin to the core because of the death of her brother Wang Ruixuan. Since he could cruelly kill her brother, she would also let him taste the feeling of losing a loved one.

"Empress Xiurong, if I gave this thing to your maid at the beginning, do you think she would dare to use it for you?" Jiang Xue raised her head and looked at Wang Xiurong and asked.

"Who would accept this disgusting thing, which has such a strong smell as soon as it is opened?" Wang Xiurong replied disdainfully.

“Since even the maid of Empress Xiurong knows that such pungent things cannot be accepted, if I gave Concubine Cao such medicine from the beginning, do you think she would accept it?

After all, this is medicine for the heir to the throne. Could it be that when Concubine Cao got the medicine, she would not check it first before giving it to the Fourth Prince? Isn't this too irresponsible? Everyone just smelled this strong smell, and Concubine Cao couldn't have failed to notice it.

If she had discovered it, why would she bring it back to give to the Fourth Prince? Why didn't she bring the bottle of medicine to the palace and report it to the Emperor? Did she intend to use this to hurt the Fourth Prince?"

Jiang Xue said the last sentence to Cao Zhiqing, which made the already frightened Cao Zhiqing even more panicked.

Her body trembled slightly and her head drooped lower and lower, not daring to face the gazes of the people around her.

Jiang Xue's words left her with no way to refute, because she indeed approached Jiang Xue with the intention of killing Shangguan Xi, and after getting the medicine, she replaced it with poisonous liquid on her own, intending to take action when Shangguan Xi was seriously injured.

Jiang Xue knew that she dared not refute, so her words were powerful. To outsiders, this series of normal procedures was enough to prove Jiang Xue's innocence.

"What Ruoxin said is true, Your Majesty. The royal family has always been cautious in using medicine. Even the prescriptions written by the imperial physician must be verified many times before they can be taken. Not to mention the medicine that Concubine Cao obtained from Ruoxin, which is even more strictly tested.

Since Concubine Cao accepted the medicine, it means that there was nothing wrong with the medicine when Ruoxin handed it over. As for why the Fourth Prince showed abnormalities after taking the medicine, perhaps we should ask Concubine Cao, who was responsible for taking care of the Fourth Prince. "

Jiang Chen stood up to support his sister, and his words were rigorous and impeccable.

At this moment, Wang Xiurong and Cao Yuan were speechless, and even Jun Li could not find a reason to attack the Young Master's Mansion.

Their original plan was to take this opportunity to eliminate the Young Master's Mansion, but they didn't expect to put themselves in a disadvantageous position.

Cao Yuan looked at his daughter Cao Zhiqing, who had become the target of public criticism, and secretly considered giving up her to save himself.

Even so, he had lost the last connection with the royal family. In anger, he resented Jiang Xue even more and wished to discredit her immediately.

"Cao Zhiqing, what's your explanation for this?"

The emperor supported himself on his knees, leaned forward slightly, stared at Cao Zhiqing who was trembling in the hall, and asked in a heavy tone.

"I... Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please forgive me. I know I was wrong. It was a moment of confusion that led to such a big mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhiqing realized that it was hopeless to conceal the truth, and her psychological defenses completely collapsed. She knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, her forehead hitting the floor heavily. Jiang Xue watched all this coldly from the side, without any sympathy in her heart.

If she had not been prepared in advance and proposed a confrontation in court, she might have been the one kneeling here.

She will never show mercy to those who try to frame her.

Cao Zhiqing's confession prevented Wang Xiurong and others from succeeding in their attempt to implicate the Young Master's Mansion.

In this palace confrontation, they not only lost Cao Zhiqing, an important bridge for marriage, but also made those who supported Shangguan Xi a laughing stock.

The dignified Fourth Prince of Beixi was nearly killed by the poison of his own concubine.

This matter soon spread throughout Huyin City, and the people secretly rejoiced in it.

Si Ruoxi became famous for his calmness and excellent eloquence during the confrontation, especially in the literary circle, where he won wide favor.

What's even more surprising is that she also attracted the attention of Prince Gong of Beiling and Prince Xichen, which made the Emperor of Beixi interested in her. He specially gave her a gold medal and allowed her to enter and leave the palace freely.

This move surprised everyone, and even Jiang Xue wondered why the emperor valued her so much.

However, since it is a gift from His Majesty, we have no choice but to accept it even if we don’t understand its meaning.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do with Cao Zhiqing?"

The emperor gave the power to judge Cao Zhiqing to the crown prince, and after retiring from court he went directly to the imperial study, seemingly not wanting to interfere too much.

Jiang Chen looked at Cao Zhiqing being escorted by the guards and asked Shangguan Jin for his opinion. This was obviously the emperor testing the prince's decisiveness.

Although Cao Zhiqing was born in a humble family, she was the daughter of the Cao family after all, and the Cao family had great power in Huyin City. If handled improperly, it would have an adverse impact on the image of the prince.

"Your Highness, could you please move aside for a moment?"

While Shangguan Jin and Jiang Chen were discussing, Cao Yuan stepped forward, saluted to the prince, and gestured to go to the side to talk privately.

Shangguan Jin glanced at him, thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and followed him.

"Thank you for the handkerchief, Your Highness."

Jiang Xue handed the handkerchief back to Xiao Zhan, but unexpectedly he did not take it.

"Ms. Si, shouldn't you wash the handkerchief before returning it after use?"

There was a barely perceptible glimmer of mischief in his eyes.

Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment. She just covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and it didn't get dirty, so why should she wash it?

Thinking back, Xiao Zhan was indeed a bit of a clean freak when it came to his belongings. Thinking of this, "I'll go back and wash them, and then have someone bring them to you." I thought to myself, why was there so much attention paid to things when I was with him before?

"No, I will come in person." After saying that, Xiao Zhan and Mo Chenjun left together.

"You are becoming more and more cunning. The handkerchief is obviously not dirty. Why do you have to make things difficult for the girl?" Mo Chenjun joked with a smile.

"This will give us a reason to meet next time." Xiao Zhan explained. Now her identity has changed, she is no longer "Jiang Xue", but "Si Ruoxi". If she wants to meet her, she naturally needs a suitable reason.
