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

Although her tone was light, her words hit Wang Xiurong's heart like a hammer, almost suffocating her.

In front of the civil and military officials and the emperor, these words were like an invisible sword piercing Wang Xiurong's heart.

"You cunning and vicious woman, I am only stating the facts, how dare you slander me like this, Your Majesty, please understand, I have no intention of overstepping my authority."

She placed her delicate hands gently on the emperor's arms, pretending to be wronged and complaining to the emperor.

The Emperor of Beixi gently patted the back of her hand, his eyes always fixed on Jiang Xue's face.

From the moment she stepped into the hall, the calmness on her face never wavered, and it was obvious that she was fully prepared.

"Si Ruoxin, Cao Ling accused you of privately manufacturing weapons and using them to injure people. Is this true?"

The emperor pointed to the row of corpses in front of her, his face still calm.

Last time, this woman turned the unfavorable situation around with her calmness and wisdom. He wanted to see how she would deal with it this time.

"Your Majesty, privately manufacturing weapons is a serious crime. Si Ruoxin cherishes his life and would never dare to be so bold."

Jiang Xue lowered her head and answered respectfully.

"you are lying!"

Cao Ling immediately stood up, pointed his finger at Jiang Xue and said angrily: "All these people in my mansion died under your weapons."

"Does Third Young Master have any evidence for what he said?"

Jiang Xue turned to him and asked with a smile: "If you need to search me for verification, Ruo Xin is willing to cooperate."

As she spoke, she opened her arms to show her innocence.

"Humph, everyone knows that when you first enter the palace, there will be palace guards to check if you are carrying any weapons. Of course, you won't find anything if you search your body now." Cao Ling sneered and glanced at An Yun beside Mo Chengjun: "Your Majesty, this palace maid is the evidence."

Cao Ling shouted loudly and pointed at An Yun.

An Yun was shocked when he was suddenly called out.

Oh my God, this was her first time to experience the majesty of the palace in person. She had only seen it in TV dramas before.

This feeling is much more terrifying than watching it on TV.

The aura was as if saying one wrong word would cost you your life.

She swallowed, touched the back of her neck, and silently prayed that she could return home safely.

"Miss, who are you?" The Beixi Emperor asked An Yun, who was trembling in front of him.

"My name is An Yun." Imitating Jiang Xue's previous actions, she bowed first, then answered in a low voice, her heart trembling.

"Where are you from?" The emperor noticed her fear, but still answered her, and his tone softened involuntarily.

"I..." She thought to herself, if I said that I came from the future, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Just when An Yun was in trouble, Jiang Xue stepped forward to help her out: "Your Majesty, An Yun is Ruoxin's friend. She had a head injury before she met Ruoxin, and her memories of the past are a little vague."

"Huh, what a coincidence, why did you lose your memory at this time? Miss Si, your excuse is too poor!" Cao Ling sneered.

"Things change so quickly. Does everyone need to report to Master Cao when and where they get injured?" Jiang Xue responded sharply, leaving Cao Ling speechless.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter where she came from. The key point is, Your Majesty, this woman is the one who helped Si Ruoxin design weapons. Please look at her design drawings. The ones drawn on them are the weapons Si Ruoxin used."

Cao Ling snatched the blueprint from Mo Chengjun's men and handed it to the eunuch beside the emperor.

The Emperor of Beixi carefully examined the drawings and was surprised at An Yun's ability. It was rare that such an exquisite weapon came from the hands of a young woman.

"Your Majesty, this blueprint and this girl are the ironclad evidence that Si Ruoxin privately manufactured weapons. Si Ruoxin, do you still want to quibble?" Wang Xiurong took over the conversation and asked sternly.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the design of our friend Ruoxin?" Faced with Wang Xiurong's accusations, Jiang Xue turned a deaf ear and asked the emperor directly for advice.

"Si Ruoxin, how dare you ignore me?" Wang Xiurong was left aside, feeling extremely embarrassed and furious.

“It’s a very clever design, but I wonder how it actually works.”

The Emperor of Beixi glanced at Wang Xiurong coldly, and she was so scared that she immediately lowered her head and remained silent.

Although the emperor's favor allowed her to do whatever she wanted in the harem, she had to behave cautiously in the court and not repeatedly usurp the throne.

"If your majesty is interested, An Yun has already made several prototypes that you can review in person. If you think they are suitable, we can start mass production for military needs."

Jiang Xue looked up at the angry Cao Ling and said, "Third Master Cao, please find out the truth before you accuse me. Otherwise, misleading His Majesty is a serious crime. Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise, otherwise we would have to bear the consequences."

"Your Majesty, these prototypes were made with the permission of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and under his supervision. Ruoxin would never break the rules." Jiang Xue said, motioning Shangguan Jin to step out.

Fortunately, Jiang Xue had asked Shangguan Jin to mention the matter of weapons improvement to the emperor in advance, so it was natural to bring it up today.

"Father, it is indeed true. I came across An Yun's design by chance and thought that this weapon might be very useful, so I suggested making a few samples for testing first.

Once it is proven to be effective, it can be mass-produced to strengthen our army. "I mentioned this to the emperor half a month ago. I wonder if the emperor still remembers it?" Shangguan Jin said in coordination with Jiang Xue.

"Yes, I remember." The emperor looked at the design with great satisfaction. "You mentioned before that you wanted to improve the weapons. I was looking forward to your results. I didn't expect to see progress so soon. Good, good, good."

The emperor said "good" three times in a row to express his approval of Shangguan Jin.

Seeing that the emperor praised the prince so much, the conservative members became even more nervous.

They had intended to take this opportunity to weaken the prince's power, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect.

Ever since Si Ruoxin came to Huyin, the Prince's Mansion has become increasingly powerful.

She is even more troublesome than Young Master Huai Chen.

Cao Ling, did you see that? You want to bring me down, but you are still a long way off.

Jiang Xue glanced at Cao Ling who was lowering his head and sneered in her heart.

Not willing! How could he be willing!

As the third son of the Cao family, he has been extremely smart since childhood. How could he lose to a woman?

Because of the anger in his heart, his eyes were full of bloodshot. He stared at Jiang Xue and stood up again: "Your Majesty, even if she is not guilty of privately manufacturing weapons, her blood debt of killing the guards of the inner court and the guards of Cao's mansion cannot be denied. Your Majesty, please administer justice."

"As soon as Ruoxin stepped into this palace, Third Master Cao kept bringing up the issue of blood debt. Ruoxin wants to ask, who was harmed? And how? Third Master Cao, in front of the emperor, please produce evidence and don't speak nonsense." Jiang Xue responded to Cao Ling with a sneer.

She wanted to see what evidence Cao Ling had. When she entered the Cao family, she used the identity of the seventh daughter of the Fang family, and no one could recognize her.

Even if Cao Ling recognized her, she did not take off her disguise. He wanted to prove that she killed people with a bow and crossbow, which was impossible.
