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

After she calmed down a bit, the emperor ordered: "Properly bury this guard and provide appropriate compensation to his family. Meng Wan, you are frightened, go down and rest first."

"Your Majesty, I'm so scared. Will he hate me? Will he come to seek revenge on me?" Meng Wan clutched the emperor's sleeve tightly, her eyes full of helplessness.

"No, you didn't do it on purpose, don't worry too much." The Emperor of Beixi comforted her, "Come here, send the princess back."

When Meng Wan walked past Jiang Chen, she swayed again and fell into Jiang Chen's arms. "I'm sorry, Master Huaichen, I was scared and my legs are weak. Can you take me back?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Although he caught Meng Wan instinctively, he was obviously dissatisfied with her behavior.

He never had any special feelings for Princess Meng Wan. Although she had expressed her affection for him many times, he clearly rejected her every time.

However, after each rejection, her gaze towards him became even more intense, even with an unsettling persistence.

When she asked him to take her home, he instinctively wanted to refuse, but the Emperor of Beixi spoke first: "Huaichen, please take the princess back."

In the eyes of the emperor, this was just an ordinary request. Although Huai Chen was unwilling in his heart, facing the imperial order, he could only agree and send her back first.

After Meng Wan left, the Emperor of Beixi asked An Yun, who was helped up by Mo Chengjun, with concern about what had happened just now.

Everyone noticed that when An Yun fell, Meng Wan actually fired a crossbow in the direction of Jiang Xue.

An Yun's feet were clearly flat and there was nothing to trip him, so how could he suddenly fall?

"I don't know either. I just felt like someone kicked my leg and I lost my balance and fell down." An Yun said while touching his painful calf and lifted up his trouser leg to check the injury.

This action stunned everyone around. Many men hurriedly turned around to avoid it, and some even blushed, muttering "Don't look at what is inappropriate".

Jiang Xue was also shocked by An Yun's bold behavior. The girl's behavior was too unexpected.

"Hey, what are you doing? Put your pants down." Mo Chengjun quickly reached out and pulled down her trouser legs, but when he saw the bruises on her legs, he stopped and asked, "Who did this?"

The Emperor of Beixi also noticed the scars on her legs and realized that what An Yun said was true. She was indeed kicked hard, which caused her to lose her balance.

The emperor looked at the bruise carefully, his eyes became serious. Judging from the position and direction at that time, the only person who could have kicked An Yun was Meng Wan!

That child...

The Emperor of Beixi looked at Meng Wan's receding figure and pondered in his heart. If his guess was correct, her target was obviously Si Ruoxin, and her obsession with Huai Chen seemed to have not dissipated yet.

This time she was so bold as to take action in front of him, the king. Was it because he had been too lenient with her in the past?

"Although the bruises on your legs look scary, they are just skin injuries. They will get better if you rub them with some medicinal wine." Jiang Xue stepped forward, gently pulled down An Yun's trouser legs to cover her calves, and handed her a bottle of medicinal wine.

"Your Majesty, since An Yun is injured, let's end today's weapons test here." Jiang Xue suggested.

The Beixi Emperor nodded in agreement. "Well, I am very satisfied with these new firearms. Prince, put the models I have tried into mass production. You will be responsible for the specific matters."

After hearing this, Shangguan Jin respectfully accepted the task: "Yes, sir."

"After these firearms are made, send a batch to the military camp for the soldiers to practice. An Yun, you will be needed to instruct them on how to use them." The Northern Xi Emperor continued, "In that case, why don't An Yun temporarily move to the Mo family so that he can get familiar with these weapons with the Mo family. Commander Mo, what do you think?"

Mo Jue immediately responded: "Your Majesty is wise. I will take good care of Miss An."

In fact, Mo Jue had long wanted to ask the emperor to allow An Yun to live in the Mo family so that he could better understand these new weapons that would soon be distributed to the troops.

"But I..." An Yun was reluctant about this arrangement, because she had just adapted to the life in the young master's mansion and had to face new changes in the environment, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

However, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and if you are not careful you may be charged with disobeying the order.

Jiang Xue saw An Yun's hesitation, so she said first: "Your Majesty, Miss An has many craft supplies in the Young Master's Mansion, all of which she made by herself, and she doesn't want to let others do it. If you want to move to the Taiwei Mansion, it will take time to sort out the items. Please give your majesty three days."

"Approved." The emperor agreed, "You can make your own arrangements. I am tired, and you can all retire and rest."

After saying that, everyone left one by one.

Shangguan Jin was worried about Jiang Chen's safety, so he went to the Princess's Mansion immediately after leaving the palace.

Jiang Xue accompanied An Yun back to the Young Master's Mansion, prepared to help her pack her luggage, and planned to let Xiao Zhan convey his request to Mo Chenjun to take care of An Yun.

"Si Ruoxin!"

Before she could get on the carriage, Cao Ling's voice sounded behind her.

He strode towards Jiang Xue but was stopped by Xiao Zhan.

"Get out of the way!" Cao Ling's voice became louder.

Because they had fought outside the city before, he knew Xiao Zhan's strength, so he didn't dare to get close and could only shout loudly from a few meters away.

"Where did this mad dog come from, barking here?" Si Ruochen stood beside the carriage, looking coldly at the rude Cao Ling, "It is said that dogs that bite don't bark, and dogs that only bark are bluffing. Today I have witnessed it."

"Who are you calling a dog?" Cao Ling became even angrier when he heard Si Ruochen's sarcasm.

"Third Master Cao, no one here has a louder voice than you." Xiao Zhan continued, "They say Third Master Cao is a man of great learning, but today it seems that all those books were read in vain."

"What's the matter, Third Master Cao?"

These people always say the most irritating words in the calmest tone, but she feels particularly relieved when listening to them.

She didn't want to waste time here, so she asked directly: "Where is Zhiqing? Where did you take her?"

After Cao Ling handed over the mineral contract, he immediately sent people to the house outside the city to look for Cao Zhiqing, but found that she was not in the house.

Cao Ling's heart was suddenly in a mess. He thought it must be Si Ruoxin who took Cao Zhiqing away.

Jiang Xue was a little surprised when she heard this. She did not send anyone to find Cao Zhiqing. To Jiang Xue, Cao Zhiqing's existence was only to force Cao Ling to hand over the contract. Now that the contract was in hand, there was no need to pay attention to her anymore.

After all, Cao Zhiqing was just an ordinary woman. Even if she was ignored, it would not cause any big disturbance. There was no need for her to kill her.

Could it be Shangguan Jin? Jiang Xue thought, but it was unlikely.

Shangguan Jin would not bother with an insignificant woman. She believed that Shangguan Jin would deal with the trouble, but he would not kidnap her personally.
