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

"I am only responsible for delivering the order. Miss Si will naturally understand what the specific matter is when she arrives."

This palace maid was the queen's confidant who had been cultivated for many years. She kept her mouth shut and no unnecessary information could be asked of her.

Given the situation, if I don't go, it would probably be seen as extremely disrespectful.

Jiang Xue turned around and motioned for An Yun and Si Ruochen to inform Jiang Chen and Xiao Zhan, then nodded: "Please lead the way."

Then he boarded the carriage heading to the palace.

"The Queen summoned Xiaoxue?"

Hearing this news, Jiang Chen's heart trembled, and he exchanged a worried look with Xiao Zhan: "The Queen and Xiaoxue have never had any contact, why did she suddenly summon her this time?"

"There must be a reason for the abnormal situation." Xiao Zhan said, "Since it was summoned by the Queen and the location was in the harem, this eliminates the possibility of our direct intervention."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhan stood up and said to Jiang Chen, "Let's go to the Prince's Mansion."

"Prince's Mansion?" Jiang Chen frowned. At the moment, that was the place he was most reluctant to approach.

"The harem is a restricted area. We cannot enter, but Mo Huan can."

As the second daughter of the Mo family, Mo Huan and the current imperial concubine Mo Ying are sisters. On the day she married into the prince's mansion, the emperor granted her free access to the harem. He allowed her to enter the palace under the pretext of visiting relatives, which would not arouse suspicion.

Jiang Chen immediately understood what Xiao Zhan meant. Although he didn't want to set foot in the Prince's Mansion at the moment, for the sake of his sister, he decided to go there.

At the same time, Jiang Xue followed the palace maid to Fengming Palace. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a familiar face.

It turned out that it was the Queen who summoned me.

It seems that Meng Wan has a strong desire for revenge.

I thought she would prepare herself for a while before attacking me, but I didn't expect that she was unwilling to wait even a moment.

Fortunately, she was smart enough to know that this matter should not be brought to the attention of the emperor, so she chose the path of the harem.

She knew that she had the upper hand in the court with the support of Shangguan Jin and her brother; but in the harem, due to Meng Wan's status, her influence far exceeded hers, so her words carried more weight here.

It seems that the current situation is quite unfavorable to me.

Jiang Xue looked around, then stood calmly in the center of the hall, silently thinking of countermeasures.

"Si Ruoxin, I'm here to ask you something today." The queen sat on the high seat and looked at Jiang Xue sternly, "Did you cut Princess Meng Wan's hair?"

Jiang Xue glanced at Meng Wan's half-long hair. The right side was messy, obviously her work, but the neatly cut left side was obviously done by someone else, and she knew very well who that person was.

"Empress, the princess is so noble, how dare Ruoxin lay a hand on her?" Jiang Xue answered calmly.

"I didn't expect Miss Si to be someone who would do it but not admit it." Meng Wan sneered, "Didn't you cut my hair with scissors out of jealousy? The maids around me saw it, do you still want to deny it now?"

"Princess, you have your maid as a witness, and I also have my maid to prove it. Which maid in our family is not biased towards her master? If we really want them to come out to testify, wouldn't it depend on who has more maids? May I ask your Majesty, is this the standard of judgment in our Beixi?" Jiang Xue looked directly at the queen, and her eyes surprised the queen.

This woman always gave people a sense of inviolable dignity, which forced the queen to be cautious when facing her.

“Empress, Meng Wan grew up under your protection. You are like my biological mother to me, and the Emperor is like my father to me.

Our bodies and hair are gifts from our parents and should not be damaged easily. In our Beixi, we cannot cut our hair unless we lose our husband, father or king.

Now that my hair has been cut short, I feel sorry for the Emperor and the Empress, and can only die to show my loyalty and determination. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Wan closed her eyes and rushed towards the pillar next to her.

"Meng Wan!"

Seeing that Meng Wan was about to hit the pillar, the Queen and other concubines hurriedly sent people forward to stop her.

Jiang Xue saw her pretending to bang her head against the pillar, but was held back by the maid beside her. She felt that the act was too fake.

Since you want to hit your head against the pillar to make your resolution known, I will help you do so.

Jiang Xue lightly pointed an arrow, and a thin needle flew towards the maid's wrist, causing her to loosen her hand due to unbearable pain. Meng Wan lost her pulling force and crashed straight into the pillar.

"Help!"

Seeing that she was really about to hit her head and bleed, Meng Wan hugged her head and screamed in horror.

Suddenly she felt her waist being grabbed tightly, and a force pulled her body back.

Looking back, Jiang Xue was standing steadily behind her, holding her belt with her hand.

He looked at her with a mocking smile on his face.

"Princess, do you want to hit the pillar again?" Jiang Xue asked.

"You...let me go."

Meng Wan was very embarrassed by her question.

She looked very funny being pulled by this woman.

"Si Ruoxin, is it appropriate to pull the princess's clothes in Fengming Palace? Let go!"

The Queen has always loved Meng Wan like her own daughter, and Meng Wan's touching words just now have further aroused the Queen's desire to protect her.

Seeing Meng Wan's image completely ruined by being pulled by Jiang Xue like this, the Queen's dissatisfaction with Jiang Xue became stronger and stronger, and her determination to protect Meng Wan became more determined.

Obviously, Meng Wan played the emotional card very well, and what she said just now really made the queen care about her more.

Jiang Xue noticed the change in the queen's attitude and slowly let go of her hand.

Meng Wan straightened her messy clothes, glared at Jiang Xue fiercely, and then returned to her original position.

"Si Ruoxin, Princess Meng Wan's hair was cut off after she came back from the Young Master's Mansion today. If what you said was not done by you, then tell me, who has the courage to touch the princess's hair?" the Queen asked sternly.

"Yes, I heard that when the princess arrived at the young master's mansion this morning, her hair was still intact. How come it became like this when she came out?" Wang Xiurong echoed the queen and said in a sarcastic tone.

"We heard that Young Master Huaichen did not return to the mansion last night. As a result, when the princess went there this morning, Miss Si was the only one in the mansion. If she hadn't done it, who else would have the courage to do it?" The concubines nearby also chimed in and supported Meng Wan.

After all, they would rather stand on the side of a noble princess than a woman without a background.

"Ha!" Facing everyone's accusations, Jiang Xue couldn't help but laugh.

Her laughter made the queen frown and asked in annoyance: "What are you laughing at?"

"You all are speaking as if you saw it with your own eyes." Jiang Xue turned to the Queen, "It seems that the Queen has already determined that I did it. So, may I ask, Your Majesty, what do you think is the reason for my doing this?"

"Meng Wan said that she and Young Master Huai Chen were in love with each other, and she was going to ask the Emperor for a marriage so that she could become the mistress of the Young Master's Mansion. And you attacked her out of jealousy." The Queen repeated the story Meng Wan told her.
