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

"Why do you think Shangguan Jin hurried back to the mansion?" Jiang Xue sneered, "The prince must be informed of Marquis Qi's arrogance."

She deliberately spread those words about Qi Hou in order to arouse Shangguan Jin's suspicion towards Qi Hou.

Of course, she specifically instructed not to mention Jiang Chen's name, so as to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

"Old minister..." Qi Hou stuttered, not daring to repeat what he said in the inn.

Not only because his life would be in danger if his unspeakable secret was exposed, but also because if the prince knew that he had plans against Jiang Chen, he would probably be punished before he could even explain himself.

"Can't say it? Forget it, there's no need to say it." Shangguan Jin stared at the two men from above and ordered: "Tie up Qi Hou and send him to the Inner Court. No one is allowed to plead for him. Let him spend his old age there in peace."

"Your Highness!" Qi Hou was so frightened that he wanted to say something, but the guards had already stuffed a cloth into his mouth and dragged him away.

As for Mo Huan... his cold eyes turned to the naked girl: "After dawn, send her back to the Mo family and tell the commander that from now on, Mo Huan is no longer the prince's concubine. If they want to take her back, then go ahead!"

Considering that Mo Huan was from the Mo family, Shangguan Jin gave her a way out. But for Mo Huan, this way out was more painful than death.

It was such an honor for a concubine to become the prince's concubine, but now she was sent back in public and became an abandoned woman in everyone's eyes.

The glory of the past has now turned into shame. Who can accept a woman abandoned by the prince? Even if the Mo family is willing to accept her, how can they endure the gossip of the tribe members behind her back?

Thinking of this, Mo Huan stood up blankly, his eyes falling on the knife on the waist of the guard beside him.

Suddenly, she pounced on the knife, holding it tightly against her heart.

"With this strike, the relationship between the Prince's Mansion and the Mohist School has been completely broken." Si Ruochen said.

"She won't die." Jiang Xue shook her head lightly, understanding it in her heart.

Shangguan Jin still needs the support of the Mo family to consolidate his position, and he will never let Mo Huan die easily.

As long as Mo Huan is alive, the Mo family owes the Prince's Mansion a favor, and Shangguan Jin can use this as a bargaining chip to ask the Mo family to do anything.

Once Mo Huan died, even if the Prince's Mansion claimed that she had it all her own fault, the Mo family would not admit it without evidence.

This would not only fail to occupy the moral high ground, but would also damage the relationship with the Mohist school. Therefore, Shangguan Jin would never allow Mo Huan to commit suicide.

Jiang Xue had known all this for a long time. She had planned it from the beginning and would not let Mo Huan die easily.

New and old grudges are intertwined, how can they be easily forgiven?

A life worse than death is the best punishment for her.

Letting Mohuan live and experience all the sufferings in the world is the most profound revenge.

Just as Jiang Xue expected, when Mo Huan tried to end his own life, Shangguan Jin stopped him in time before the knife touched his skin.

"If you really want to commit suicide, I will not stop you, but think about your mother and your entire family!" These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Mo Huan's heart, instantly making him lose all his courage. He could only curl up on the ground and tremble in despair.

The show ended, and the result was as expected. Jiang Xue turned around and left the scene.

"Let's go." She left these words and her figure quickly disappeared into the night.

"Your Highness?" The guard asked in confusion when he saw Shangguan Jin suddenly look up with a cold gaze.

"Handle this matter according to my instructions." Shangguan Jin noticed the unusual movement on the roof, frowned, and felt a little uneasy. He then hurried to the room where Jiang Chen was.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Xue found her brother Jiang Chen lying quietly on the bed.

After some inspection, I confirmed that it was just the effect of ordinary drugs and no serious harm was caused, so I felt slightly relieved.

Taking out the golden needle from the medicine box, Jiang Xue carefully cleared the drug residues in Jiang Chen's body.

Not long after, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes: "Xiaoxue."

"Royal brother!" Seeing her brother waking up, Jiang Xue finally relaxed her tense heart.

"How do you feel now?" She helped Jiang Chen sit up and asked with concern.

Jiang Chen clenched his fists and replied, "I am much more conscious and my body has regained some sensation." But his internal energy has not yet been unlocked.

"My royal brother's meridians are blocked, which affects your use of internal energy. But don't worry, I will find a way to help you untie it." Jiang Xue knew what her brother cared about most.

Jiang Chen trusted his sister's medical skills, and seeing her worry, he gave her a comforting smile, "Yeah."

When mentioning Shangguan Jin, the smile on Jiang Chen's face disappeared, "Shangguan Jin is so strict, he will definitely not let me go easily."

"Don't worry. Even if he is tracking us, he won't find this place so soon." Xiao Zhan stood at the door with a smile on his face.

At this time, in the inn, the people of Linglong Pavilion had packed their luggage and gathered in Chu Jingming's stone chamber. Today was the day they left Huyin City.

Xiao Zhan glanced around, confirmed the number of people, nodded, and then looked at Chu Jingming with a cold expression: "Feng Yi, thank you for your hard work."

"Remember the promise you made to me." Chu Jingming just glanced at Jiang Xue, reminding her not to forget the agreement.

"Please rest assured, Changle will never go back on his word." Jiang Xue responded with a smile.

At this time, Si Ruochen looked around and asked in confusion: "Huh? Where is the girl who always follows Chu Jingming?"

In the past, Yunyan was almost always by Chu Jingming's side, but now she is nowhere to be seen.

Chu Jingming frowned, obviously not liking others asking about Yunyan's affairs: "I asked her to go back first." There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he was obviously displeased with Si Ruochen.

Si Ruochen just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Chu Jingming's reaction to be so strong.

"It's getting late, you should set off." Xiao Zhan looked up at the sky and reminded.

Watching Chu Jingming and his group go away, Si Ruochen asked, "The people from Linglong Pavilion have already withdrawn. How are we going to leave Huyin City now?"

The original plan was to use Linglong Pavilion as bait to distract the Prince's Mansion. But with the evacuation of Linglong Pavilion and the Prince's Mansion's increased security, it became extremely difficult to escape.

Jiang Xue chuckled, "There is always a way to solve the problem." She continued, "If it really doesn't work, we can just force our way in."

This sounds like the worst option.

Si Ruochen was surprised by his junior sister's idea, "Break in by force? There are 100,000 soldiers in Huyin City! With so few people, I'm afraid we'll be wiped out before we even reach the city gate."

"Don't worry, this is just the last resort." Jiang Xue explained: "We still have some cards in our hands."

Although these are not magic weapons, if used properly, they are sufficient to deal with the current situation.

And even if it really came to that, she had the confidence to break out. After all, cold weapons were still far inferior to hand cannons.
