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

"I want to take you to see a place." she said softly.

There are secrets hidden in her smile.

"Huh? Hmm!"

Just as An Yun tilted her head in confusion, she was caught off guard by a hand that suddenly covered her mouth and nose.

A pungent smell instantly filled the air, and then darkness enveloped her vision, and the half apple in her hand rolled to the ground.

"Where is the Second Miss going?"

When the Mo family guards saw Mo Huan carrying two boxes and preparing to go out, they immediately stepped forward to ask.

The Mohist school stipulated that people were prohibited from going out at night unless they had special permission.

Mo Huan showed a token and said in a cold tone: "I am returning to the Prince's Mansion on the orders of the Prince."

Seeing the token representing the authority of the Prince's Palace, the guard had to let him pass.

After arriving at the Prince's Mansion, Mo Huan took one of the boxes and went straight to Shangguan Jin's study. After paying his respects, he ordered his followers to open the box.

Inside the box, An Yun curled up into a ball, soundly sleeping.

"Well done." Looking at the woman sleeping in the box, Shangguan Jin curled up his lips into a satisfied smile.

Jiang Xue, Jiang Xue, even if you hide in the Mo family, what can you do? I will always find a way to make you my hostage.

The next morning, Jiang Xue was awakened by the noise outside the door.

When he opened the door, he saw the servants of the Mo family were anxiously looking for something.

After inquiry, it was learned that An Yun had disappeared.

As a person who was personally arranged by the Emperor of Beixi to stay in the Mohist School, An Yun's disappearance meant huge trouble.

Therefore, the entire Mo family fell into panic and searched everywhere for her whereabouts.

Mo Chenjun hurried over with a worried look on his face.

"I've looked everywhere, but I can't find An Yun."

He was fine last night, how come he disappeared without a trace when I woke up?

Moreover, An Yun was not an early riser at all and usually did not get up until the sun was high in the sky.

Jiang Xue signaled everyone to calm down and carefully checked the route that An Yun might take to return to the room.

Jiang Xue glanced at the roadside and found a half-eaten apple. She remembered that when An Yun left last night, he also had half an uneaten apple in his hand.

After one night, the apple had turned brown.

She frowned, and the dark shadow that passed by the window last night emerged in her mind, and she realized that something unusual was hidden behind it.

"Besides An Yun, who else from the Mo family is missing?" she asked.

Mo Chenjun knew that the curfew in the mansion was strict. Without an insider, it would be difficult for outsiders to sneak in and leave smoothly in the middle of the night.

After she mentioned it, Mo Chenjun's face changed suddenly: "The guard mentioned that at three o'clock in the morning, my second sister was ordered by the prince to return to the prince's mansion." He couldn't believe that his second sister would be related to this matter. After all, in Mo Chenjun's heart, Mo Huan was always so gentle and considerate.

"Maybe..." Jiang Xue interrupted his thoughts, "I heard that Mo Huan has not had an easy life since she was sent back to the Mo family. If Shangguan Jin promised to take her back, maybe she would do something like this."

"How is it possible..." Mo Chenjun was shocked. "Second sister is the second daughter of the Mo family. How can it be difficult for her to go home?"

"Young General, you have lived in the military camp for a long time and don't understand the complexity of the deep courtyard. As a concubine's daughter, Mo Huan does not have a high status in the family, especially in the eyes of the eldest lady.

When she married the prince, she bypassed the first lady and directly sought the support of the imperial concubine, which made the first lady resent her. Now that Mo Huan has been sent home, the first lady will naturally not let her off easily. "

The cruelty of these inner-court struggles was beyond Mo Chenjun's imagination.

If Jiang Xue hadn't explained it to him, he would have had no idea that his second sister, who lived under the same roof with him, had gone through such hardships.

"How do you know so much?" He wanted to ask, but immediately remembered the other party's identity - the owner of Linglong Pavilion.

"In fact, the last water pavilion incident was also a trap set by Mo Huan to deal with my royal brother. Your second sister is not as innocent as you think." These words were like thunder, shocking Mo Chenjun again.

"Second sister actually..." He repeated these words, unable to accept this series of information.

"We don't have time to hesitate." Jiang Xue said anxiously. If her guess was correct, An Yun might be in danger, and they must go to the Prince's Mansion immediately to rescue him.

The situation is urgent and does not allow for a moment of hesitation.

"Your Highness, General Mo and Princess Changle have arrived." The servant's voice broke the silence in the cell.

Shangguan Jin had just finished the task at hand. Looking at An Yun tied to the cross, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Please invite them in quickly. We can't neglect our distinguished guests." Shangguan Jin threw the torture instruments in his hand to the guards outside the door and strode out of the dark cell.

In the flower hall, Jiang Xue stood in the middle, waiting with a serious expression.

As soon as Shangguan Jin appeared, she immediately asked, "Where is An Yun?"

"It seems that you didn't listen to my advice," Shangguan Jin said leisurely, "If you had done what I said, An Yun wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Your Highness, An Yun is a guest assigned to the Mo family by the Emperor. Please be merciful and let her return safely." Mo Chenjun requested respectfully.

"I naturally know what my father means," Shangguan Jin replied, "As long as Princess Changle is willing to cooperate, Anyun will be fine."

"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Xue asked directly.

"Since you are so straightforward, let's speak frankly." Shangguan Jin stood up and said to Jiang Xue, "Come with me. General Mo will stay here." After that, he motioned Mo Huan to come over.

"Second sister..." Mo Chenjun felt mixed emotions when he saw Mo Huan.

Mo Huan had a complicated expression, she was the only brother who still had some affection for her, she knew his feelings for An Yun, but at this moment, for her own benefit, she betrayed this trust.

"You two siblings should have a good chat. I won't disturb you anymore." After saying this, Shangguan Jin left the hall, leaving the brother and sister with heavy hearts.

"An Yun!" With the call, the air seemed to freeze.

As soon as Jiang Xue stepped into the cell, her eyes were immediately attracted to An Yun, who was tied to a cross and unconscious.

She quickly stepped forward and carefully examined An Yun's body. She breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that there were no obvious external injuries.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to hurt her for the time being." Shangguan Jin lazily found a chair and sat down, with a threatening look in his eyes, "But if you go against my wishes again, I can't say for sure."

As he waved his hand, a guard raised a red-hot iron and slowly approached An Yun.

"Stop!" Jiang Xue threw out the golden needle without hesitation, knocking down the soldering iron. "Come on, but I guess your soldering iron won't be used much longer. Three? Two? Humph, when my golden needles are used up, will you win?"

"Is torturing innocent people your method?" Jiang Xue tightly grasped the few remaining golden needles in her hand.

Because the incident happened suddenly, he didn't even have time to take the pistol he usually carried with him. Apart from these golden needles, the only weapon he had left was the bamboo flute he carried with him.
