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

"Well, has she already prepared the replacement herbs for the Third Princess to take?"

In the Princess's Mansion, Meng Wan was coldly trimming the branches in her hand. With a "click", a flower was cut off and fell to the ground, with petals scattered all over the ground.

The big show is about to begin.

Meng Wan raised her foot indifferently and stepped the broken petals into the soil.

The next morning, the queen came to Jiang Xue's residence with great anticipation, hoping to see signs that the third princess continued to improve.

However, the moment she stepped into the room, she stopped in shock.

At noon that day, a shocking news came from the palace: Master Huaichen's fiancée was sent to the Inner Court by the Queen's order.

"What's going on? Didn't Mo Ying say that he would protect her?"

After Jiang Chen learned the news, he immediately planned to go to the palace to find out the situation. As soon as he went out, he met Shangguan Jin who came to the young master's mansion.

"you!"

As soon as he saw Shangguan Jin, the memory of that night came back to his mind. He stared at Shangguan Jin's handsome face, speechless for a moment.

But thinking of Jiang Xue's current situation, the tangle and embarrassment in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he asked Shangguan Jin as usual: "What happened in the palace? Why was Xiaoxue sent to the inner court?"

Shangguan Jin felt delighted when he saw Jiang Chen talking to him like he used to.

He was finally willing to talk to himself again.

Shangguan Jin rushed to the mansion immediately after receiving the news. He wanted to take him to the palace to learn more about the unknown matter. "Let's go." Jiang Chen said nothing more and directly pulled him into the carriage.

"Hey, don't you want to go in and take a look?" Si Ruochen asked Xiao Zhan who was leaning against the door frame.

“Jiang Chen was extremely anxious, but he didn’t expect that someone as smart as Xiaoxue would be sent to the Inner Court so easily.”

Xiao Zhan turned around and looked at Si Ruochen who had just changed his clothes: "Are you planning to go to the Inner Court to rescue someone?"

"We can't let my junior sister suffer there." Si Ruochen shrugged and shuddered when he thought of his master's strict teachings.

Even if the master didn't tell him, he would never sit idly by and watch his junior sister, who grew up with him, suffer.

"Don't worry, she won't suffer too much." Xiao Zhan chuckled and pointed at his outfit: "Change your clothes and follow me."

It would be strange if you don't get noticed if you dress like this in broad daylight.

"Is Xiaoxue really imprisoned in the Inner Court?"

In Xiurong Palace, Meng Wan came to Princess Xiurong early in the morning to verify the news.

The princess smiled and said, "The princess's plan really worked. In just one night, the girl was sent to prison."

Meng Wan also smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "Humph, this ignorant person dared to go against this princess, this is her fate!"

Thinking that she had taken away her lover, Meng Wan wanted to go and see Jiang Xue being tortured in person, so she pulled the princess to the inner court.

"Empress Xiurong, the Imperial Concubine invites you over."

Just as she was about to go out, the princess was stopped by a maid from Mo Ying Palace.

The princess had no choice but to obey the imperial concubine's summons, and Meng Wan had to go to the inner court alone.

Passing through the gloomy corridor, Meng Wan stopped in front of a cell door.

Jiang Xue turned her back to her, looking quietly at the small window above, enjoying the sunlight coming in through the window.

Meng Wan responded with a cold look and a sting in her words.

"Greetings, Princess." Jiang Xue had obviously expected this and turned around and nodded slightly to her.

"How do you feel? Are you adapting to life in the Inner Court?" Meng Wan looked around, her tone full of gloating.

"It is said that rats often appear here. I wonder if Miss Si is afraid of these little creatures?" As Meng Wan said this, she saw a rat crawling out from the darkness and crawling to Jiang Xue's feet.

Jiang Xue remained calm, picked up the mouse easily, and threw it directly at Meng Wan, scaring her so much that she screamed.

"It seems that the princess is more afraid of these little guys than we thought." Jiang Xue couldn't help but find it a little funny when she saw this.

Meng Wan was furious and threatened: "You bitch, you dare to scare me with a mouse. Someone, open the door, I want to teach you a lesson."

However, the guard at the door did not move.

"Are you deaf?" Meng Wan scolded the guards.

"The Inner Court has regulations that even the prince cannot impose lynchings at will. Princess, you should also abide by the rules, right?" Jiang Xue responded calmly.

"Hmph, here, this princess has plenty of ways to deal with you. You framed the third princess, and even if I kill you now, the queen won't say a word." Meng Wan said viciously.

After hearing this, Jiang Xue sneered, "Oh? But as far as I know, the reason why I was imprisoned has not been made public. How did the princess know that I was imprisoned for framing the third princess?"

Meng Wan was speechless for a moment, but she soon realized that no one else here could hear their conversation.

She smiled smugly and said, "Even so, what can I do? You are already a prisoner. Even if I tell the truth, who will believe you?"

Jiang Xue still kept smiling and continued to induce Meng Wan to tell the truth, "Then why didn't the princess explain it? Could it be that the princess herself replaced the drug that poisoned the third princess?"

Meng Wan's arrogance grew as she confessed: "So what if I did it? You are now a prisoner awaiting sentencing. Even if I tell the truth, will the Queen believe you?"

"Oh? Princess, are you admitting your mistakes? Queen, do you understand now?"

When she heard the words "Empress", the smug expression on Meng Wan's face froze instantly.

She turned her head with all her might and saw the queen, wearing a gorgeous dress, an exquisite crown on her head, and a frosty face, walking slowly out of the darkness.

The sunlight shone on the queen's stern face, and her anger was clearly visible.

Standing next to her was the third princess Shangguan Xun.

Seeing Shangguan Xun standing there unharmed, Meng Wan was shocked as if struck by lightning. She had fallen into a trap.

The sound of a key turning was heard, and Jiang Xue opened the cell door and walked out.

She held the elbow of one hand with the other, with the key to the cell hanging on her index finger, and looked at Meng Wan with a mocking smile: "Princess, are you surprised?"

"Meng Wan, I have always treated you as my own daughter. I never thought you would treat Xun'er like this. Your ungrateful behavior of hurting innocent people is really outrageous."

The queen pointed at Meng Wan and questioned angrily. She never expected that this girl whom she had taken good care of for many years would do such a heartless thing to her own daughter.

"Your Highness, please listen to me. This is not the case. She misled me. I was deceived by her, so I said those words."

Faced with the Queen's accusations, Meng Wan hurriedly defended herself, pointing at Jiang Xue and shouting.

However, at this moment, her explanation was no longer convincing to the queen.

"My princess knows clearly whether I have misled you. From the moment you sent someone to replace the medicine, I noticed something was wrong. I know medicine very well, and the taste of the medicine has changed obviously.

Since I knew the medicine had been replaced, I certainly wouldn't let the Third Princess take the problematic medicine. After your people left, I prepared a new set of medicine for the Third Princess. As for the replaced medicine, I packed it up and brought it with me. "
