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

"She is Mr. Huaichen's fiancée?" Meng Wan stared at Jiang Xue, but in fact, all she saw was the mask she was wearing.

The face that was gentle just now became distorted in an instant, forming a sharp contrast with her temperament.

"She is indeed not worthy of Young Master Hongchen." In Meng Wan's heart, Jiang Chen is almost perfect. Such a man should belong only to her, and no one else can covet him.

"Princess, now is a good time. You see, the emperor is testing a new weapon. It is inevitable that new things will not be smooth sailing. If an accident occurs, it is understandable. If someone is injured or even killed, everyone will only blame the weapon itself, not others."

Meng Wan's love for Jiang Chen was almost to the point of obsession, and Wang Xiurong knew it all. Ever since Jiang Chen came to Beixi, she fell in love with him at first sight.

From then on, any maid who gained Jiang Chen's favor would be treated cruelly; and those women who expressed their love for him would either be brutally killed or driven into despair.

These matters have long been no secret among the noble circles of Beixi, and even the emperor has never asked about them.

Meng Wan is the only bloodline of Prince Meng. Her mother is the emperor's cousin and unfortunately died after giving birth to her.

Prince Meng died heroically protecting the emperor, and entrusted Meng Wan to the emperor's care before his death. Over the years, the emperor treated Meng Wan like his own daughter, giving her everything that Shangguan Xun gave her.

The emperor once promised Prince Meng that as long as Meng Wan did not betray the country, he would never punish her.

Therefore, if she could convince Meng Wan to deal with Si Ruoxin and use her to eliminate this external threat, the emperor should not pursue responsibility.

In this way, she can not only eliminate the biggest worry in her heart, but also win the support of Meng Wan, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

As for An Yun, huh, she is just a little girl who is still wet behind the ears. As long as Si Ruoxin is not focused, it will be easy to deal with her.

"What Empress Xiurong said is very pertinent." Meng Wan showed a cold smile on her face, and she was already thinking about how to deal with that woman: "Thank you Empress Xiurong for summoning me here today."

"Princess, you are too modest. We are good friends. This little thing is nothing." Wang Xiurong smiled at her, as if he had already seen Si Ruoxin fall down.

Friend? Meng Wan sneered in her heart. A dancer like you is worthy of being my friend?

If you weren't still useful to me, I wouldn't be so nice to you!

Of course, she would not say this out loud. After all, she still had to maintain a gentle and dignified image in front of outsiders.

"Meng Wan pays respects to the Emperor." Meng Wan walked up to the Emperor of Beixi and bowed respectfully.

When she looked up, she deliberately glanced at Jiang Chen with a hint of shyness on her face. But Jiang Chen ignored her gaze, his attention was all on his sister.

While no one was paying attention, Xiao Zhan whispered to Jiang Xue quietly. Jiang Chen frowned and immediately pulled his sister to his side.

"Your Highness Prince Gong, please be mindful of your behavior in public." Jiang Chen glanced at Xiao Zhan.

"Oh? I want to know why Master Huaichen reminded me?" Xiao Zhan smiled and said defensively, "I was just having an intimate conversation with my princess."

He knew that Jiang Chen was wary of his identity as a Beiling native, but that didn't stop him from joking.

After spending some time together, he felt that Jiang Chen's vigilance towards him had eased a lot, which might be thanks to Jiang Xue.

As the heir to the Qian Kingdom, he was well aware of the pain of the Civil War, so he fully understood Jiang Chen's vigilance.

Jiang Chen has done a good job for Xiaoxue.

"Royal brother." Jiang Xue understood why her brother was angry, so she signaled Xiao Zhan to restrain himself, then turned around and grabbed Jiang Chen's sleeve, shaking it gently, her eyes full of tenderness.

Since childhood, Jiang Xue has always had a way to deal with Jiang Chen, which always makes him soften his heart.

This time was no exception. Seeing his sister's appearance, Jiang Chen's annoyance immediately disappeared.

He smiled helplessly and gently touched Jiang Xue's head. "You are the best at acting like a spoiled child." He said softly, his eyes full of affection.

This scene fell into Meng Wan's eyes, and her dissatisfaction with Jiang Xue deepened.

She felt that Jiang Xue was not faithful to her husband and was shameless in being intimate with other men in front of Master Huai Chen.

Young Master Huai Chen is her man, how could she allow Jiang Xue to approach her so frivolously?

Meng Wan's gaze fell like an ice knife on Jiang Xue's hand that was holding Jiang Chen's sleeve, and she wished she could chop that hand off.

At this time, the Emperor of Beixi spoke: "Meng Wan is here." He looked at his cousin with concern in his eyes.

Because Prince Meng once sacrificed himself to save him, he always felt apologetic towards Meng Wan.

"Your Majesty, this weapon looks very special. I wonder if Wan'er can try it?" Meng Wan always called herself Wan'er in front of the Emperor of Beixi, just like her mother did back then.

When the Emperor of Beixi heard this name, his heart was shocked. The face in front of him reminded him of the good old days when he was young. At that time, he and Meng Wan's mother loved each other, and she often used the name he gave her to act coquettishly.

The word "Wan" was the name he gave to Meng Wan's mother, and later it became the name given to his daughter by Prince Meng.

"Try it." Faced with this title, the Northern Xi Emperor could not refuse, so he handed the hand gun to Meng Wan. "Yun'er, you teach the princess how to use it."

After saying that, the Emperor of Beixi signaled An Yun to teach Meng Wan how to use the pistol, and he sat down himself.

Just as An Yun was about to instruct Meng Wan on how to load and shoot, he suddenly felt a shock on his legs and lost his balance. He subconsciously tried to grab something to steady himself, but accidentally dragged Meng Wan with him, and the crossbow in his hand accidentally aimed at Jiang Xue.

At this time, Mo Chenjun quickly stepped forward and supported An Yun to prevent her from falling.

Meng Wan took the opportunity to pull the arrow nock.

With a loud bang, smoke rose up. The scene was suddenly filled with tension, and everyone looked towards where Jiang Xue was.

Jiang Xue was quickly pulled aside by Xiao Zhan, but a guard was shot in the head and fell to the ground dead. The blood gradually spread on his body, and Jiang Xue's heartbeat accelerated, feeling unprecedented fear.

She realized that if Xiao Zhan had not reacted quickly, she would be the one falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Meng Wan hurriedly dropped her crossbow, covered her mouth with her hands, and shouted in horror: "I... I killed someone... Your Majesty, I killed someone, I really didn't mean to do it, I had no idea this would happen, it just... it just shot!"

Tears slid down Meng Wan's cheeks. Seeing this, the Emperor of Beixi walked forward and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay."
