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

Jiang Xue adjusted her sitting position and leaned forward slightly: "How did you get in touch with those people who put down the boulder just now?"

"We...we have a contact point in Changle..." One of them said in a trembling voice, with his head lowered almost to the ground, not daring to look directly into Jiang Xue's eyes.

"Contact points? How many are there?"

I didn't expect that Shangguan Jin could actually set up a base in Changle. It's really not easy.

"Three...three contact points."

"Does Jiang Qiyuan know about this?"

"It's a place chosen by King Yuan himself."

Click!

Jiang Xue stepped on a branch under her feet and broke it. The crisp sound scared the spies and made them tremble again.

The broken branches seemed to announce her anger.

"Jiang Qiyuan, you are such a great emperor!"

Although her voice was not loud, the cold murderous intent in her words was frightening.

Her fingers, which were tightly gripping the bamboo flute, turned pale from the force.

As the king of a country, he actually provided a hiding place for the enemy.

Does he want to destroy Changle? Or does he think the war between the North and the South is not brutal enough?

If Changle falls into his hands, it will only be a matter of time before it perishes! How can the country that my father has worked so hard to protect his entire life be destroyed by him?

"Why did Jiang Qiyuan provide you with a base? What promise did Bei Xi make?"

Feeling the anger of the person next to him, Xiao Zhan hugged her even tighter.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that as long as Prince Yuan is willing to provide a base, he will help... help solve some problems..." the man said hesitantly.

Jiang Xue looked up at the other person, and the fear in her eyes was self-evident. She knew that some things were already tacitly understood even if they were not spoken.

"Huh! I didn't expect Jiang Qiyuan to value me so much that he would betray the entire Changle just to save my life." She thought to herself, since her life has been given such value, she must cherish it and live it to its fullest!

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, then stood up, walked to the spies, and looked down at them with a firm gaze: "Listen carefully, you must go to the base tonight and convey the message to Jiang Qiyuan's men, and ask them to gather at the designated location."

She threw a small ball of paper and it hit a spy's forehead accurately. "Also, no matter what means you use, you must replace the people in those three bases with our own people."

As night fell, at three quarters past midnight, several furtive figures appeared around the stronghold.

"What do you want from us so late at night?" asked a small follower dressed in Changle costume puzzledly.

Another man who looked anxious scratched his head and said, "It's because the mission failed today. I told you to put the stone down earlier but you refused. If you had cut the rope earlier, the woman would have died.

The Emperor's deadline is getting closer, but she has returned alive. Once the Emperor learns of this, we will be killed. No matter what, we must get rid of her before she enters the capital."

In the darkness, Jiang Xue slowly stepped into the circle of light, a sneer on her lips, tapping the bamboo flute in her hand: "I haven't seen you for a few years, how dare the Changle guards say so brazenly that they want to murder the heir to the throne? It seems that Jiang Qiyuan is not doing a very good job as the emperor. Aren't you afraid that one day you will also want to kill him?"

The minions were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened in anger, ready to pounce on her.

However, as they acted, blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the surrounding lights red.

As the minions fell one by one, Yu Prajna withdrew his hands, stood up, and slowly walked towards Jiang Xue.

"I thought you would celebrate the reunion with us first, not in such a bloody way." She said as she looked at Jiang Xue and found that there was not a drop of blood on her body.

"I have been practicing again in Changle Mountain for half a year, so naturally I have made some progress." Jiang Xue replied with a smile, and her smile was full of joy after seeing an old friend.

"Prajna, long time no see." Jiang Xue greeted warmly.

"The news of your death from Beiling was actually when you returned to Changle Mountain, right?" Yu Prajna recalled the shock she felt when she heard the news.

At that time, she even wanted to go to Yujing to investigate in person, but Nangong Yue firmly believed that Jiang Xue would not die easily and stopped her.

Only after they received a letter from Hu Yin requesting the use of the power of the Shuoyue Sect did they feel at ease.

Jiang Xue nodded in affirmation. At this time, Yu Prajna turned her gaze behind her and said, "Since you have been announced to have passed away, why did His Royal Highness Prince Gong come with you?"

Yu Prajna cautiously pulled Jiang Xue to her side. She had heard that Xiaoxue had suffered a lot of injustice in Yujing.

"If I say that it was Xiao Yan who leaked the news on his own initiative, would you believe it?" Xiao Zhan said, "The purpose of my trip is to help Xiao Xue."

Yu Prajna's face was full of suspicion: "I know the suffering that Prince Gong made Xiaoxue suffer."

Her grip tightened.

Recently, they caught a number of Beiling spies who were lying in ambush in Changle and trying to assassinate Xiaoxue.

"These are all your Beiling people!"

"Those are Xiao Yan's men. They are not good to Xiao Xue, and I want to eliminate them." Xiao Zhan said firmly.

"Then prove it to me." Yu Prajna said, "If you can really kill them, I will believe you."

As the last corpse fell to his feet, Xiao Zhan put away his sword and turned around to look at Yu Prajna. He was merciless and killed with one blow. Yu Prajna looked around the room at the corpses on the floor and finally let down her guard.

"I can trust you temporarily now," she said, standing up.

"Where is this place?" Jiang Xue asked curiously. She was led here by Yu Prajna, and everything around her seemed strange to her.

"The palace has discovered us and conducted a search for us not long ago, so we moved here," Yu Prajna explained.

"I see." Jiang Xue nodded to show her understanding. "Jiang Qiyuan knows your location. Someone must have informed you. Have you found that person?"

If there hadn't been a traitor inside, Jiang Qiyuan would never have been able to find this place - a secret stronghold that even the Beiling army didn't discover when they passed through.

Yu Prajna was silent, with a heavy expression on her face. Obviously, there was no answer to this question. Jiang Xue immediately realized that the situation was very serious: as long as this traitor existed, they would not be safe no matter where they hid.

"Yu Prajna, tell your men that Princess Changle will appear outside the royal capital today."

After a moment, Jiang Xue added: "Remember, this message can only be passed on to your people."

"I understand." Yu Prajna nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qiyuan was planning to get rid of the princess, but why would the princess take the initiative to expose her whereabouts? "This is to lure the snake out of its hole." Xiao Zhan explained, walked to Jiang Xue, held her hand and said, "When the time comes, you have to follow me closely."

Using myself as bait to catch the traitor was undoubtedly a risky move. Although I was worried about her safety, there was no more effective way than this.
