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

It was almost dusk when Jiang Xue woke up.

Fu Dong was guarding her bedside, and when he saw her slowly waking up, he immediately called out.

"Master He! Your Highness is awake!"

He Zhilin, who was in the main hall outside, heard this and immediately went around to the back room.

Jiang Xue felt dizzy and said to Fu Dong in a low voice: "Fu Dong, tea."

Fu Dong immediately helped her sit up and added two pillows to the bed. Jiang Xue leaned on it and looked up to see He Zhilin walking over with tea.

Jiang Xue was stunned and said: "Brother He? Why are you here?"

He Zhilin handed her the tea and said, "Your Highness suddenly fainted. Miss Xiaochun sent someone to find me."

Jiang Xue hurriedly asked: "Does Gu Lintan know?"

He Zhilin shook his head. He was climbed in through the courtyard wall by Guard Chen.

Jiang Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "In my backyard, I guess I have to secretly open the door, otherwise I will have to jump in and out on weekdays."

He Zhilin asked: "Where else is your Highness feeling unwell now?"

Jiang Xue took a sip of tea and said, "My head is a little dizzy and I don't have much strength. What's wrong with me?"

He Zhilin and Fu Dong looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Fu Dong said: "Your Highness was talking to my cousin, and he fainted for some reason. Don't you remember?"

Jiang Xue was stunned for a long time, her mind slowly regained its clarity, and she said calmly: "Where is the hairpin?"

"It's at my cousin's place." Fu Dong said cautiously, "Do you want her to throw it away?"

"No," Jiang Xue said, "Go out to find her and ask her to bring the hairpin."

Fu Dong looked at He Zhilin and said helplessly, "Okay."

After Fu Dong went out, Jiang Xue said to He Zhilin: "Brother He, am I out of control?"

"Your Highness is fainting and gibbering because his qi is rushing up and his blood has not returned to his menstruation. This is not a sign of losing his temper."

Jiang Xue smiled bitterly.

"Xiao Qi's matter..." He Zhilin hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, would you like to talk to me?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and whispered: "I don't want to mention him again."

He Zhilin sighed softly and asked: "Although I don't know the whole story, I probably know a little bit. Did someone deliberately make you think of him?"

Jiang Xue bit her lip, thought for a while, and said, "I think it should be."

It should be intentional.

"Has the Second Emperor Brother been here?" Jiang Xue asked, "What did he say?"

"The Second Highness came here and took care of His Highness for a while. The Ministry of Rites was in a hurry and couldn't get away, so he went back first." He Zhilin said, "My cousin should have told him the whole story, but His Highness didn't do anything. What."

"That's good." Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Jiang Yu would go to Wanbao Tower in a hurry.

"I can help your Highness to find out about Wanbao Tower." He Zhilin said, "It may not be convenient for Your Highness to come forward, but I am a white person after all."

Jiang Xue shook her head and said: "Ji Yan deliberately used this thing to provoke me. He must know something. It is of no use to anyone except me."

Just as He Zhilin was about to say something else, the door was pushed open and Lu Qiongshuang, dressed in a red outfit, walked in.

Jiang Xue looked at her, smiled lightly, and said, "I never thought this ready-made clothes would fit so well. Qiong Shuang looks good in it."

Lu Qiong's face was full of regret, and she walked to Jiang Xue and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be easily deceived into bringing things to you."

Jiang Xue said with relief: "Those who don't know are not guilty. It has nothing to do with you. Just give me the hairpin."

Lu Qiong held the culprit in both hands and said, "Why do you want to keep this thing?"

"Since you bought it as a gift to me, it belongs to me. Take it."

Lu Qiongshuang reluctantly handed the hairpin to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue held it in her hand, looked at it again and again, and said, "I'm going to Wanbao Tower in a few days to look for Ji Yan. Then I might have to ask Sister Suyu to help me make an appointment."

He Zhilin frowned and said: "For Xiao Qi? But your identity is unusual. If this person knows about your relationship with Xiao Qi, he will use it to make an issue..."

There was no emotion on Jiang Xue's face, she just said calmly: "No, Xiao Qi has been dead long ago."

"But Ji Yan, it's not that simple."

"If this person had not had a deep connection with Xiao Qi, he would never have known about the dagger."

"As for Xiao Qi, he has been living in the palace since he came to Hebei as a hostage. He has only a handful of people he interacts with on a daily basis. He will not have any other close friends in the country of Hebei."

The expressions on the faces of He Zhilin and Lu Qiong were getting heavier and heavier.

Lu Qiongshuang said: "In other words, the people who are familiar with him should not be from Ji country?"

"His life was short," Jiang Xue said expressionlessly, as if talking about an unrelated person, "He died just after arriving in Qian Country, but who else could he tell this to?"

"So, I can only go find Ji Yan and find out his identity."

Lu Qiong asked, "Can Ji Yan speak?"

"I don't know," Jiang Xue said, "but since he did it, he must have his purpose. This matter was originally directed at me, so I can only do it."

He Zhilin nodded and said: "I will inform Su Yu when I get back and ask her to help arrange it, but this matter must be kept secret, let alone the consort."

Lu Qiong Shuang said: "What's the difficulty? I can just hold my cousin and jump over the courtyard wall."

Jiang Xue held her forehead and said: "I have to find out what happened to Gu Lintan as soon as possible. If not, I have to break all his eyeliners in Gu's house. It's not good to climb over the wall all day long."

Lu Qiong Shuang was surprised and asked: "What's wrong with this brother-in-law? This mansion was given by the Holy Spirit at least. How come my cousin, princess, is so cautious in acting here?"

Jiang Xue took her hand, looked into her eyes seriously, and said, "Can you promise me something?"

"Cousin, tell me."

"Don't interfere with the affairs of the Gu family, and don't tell anyone in the Lu family, including grandpa, any suspicions."

Jiang Xue didn't know what kind of stock wind Gu Lintan had borrowed from for his successful career in officialdom, nor did he know what his ultimate goal was. Lu Xiangquan was deceived by this person, and now he accepted Gu Lintan because of his father's decree. Lintan is a disciple, but I don't know how deep the relationship between master and disciple is.

Before the matter is clarified, we can only hide it from everyone.

Lu Qiong nodded with a complex expression.

She has never liked these official battles, and she also hates the various constraints of the family and the royal family. The reason why she asked Jiang Xue was entirely because she was worried about this cousin. But after Jiang Xue said this, the inside story of this matter was only She was afraid of getting involved in government affairs, so she didn't want to get involved.

But my cousin went out of her way to tell her, even her grandfather had to hide it?

After the daughter of the Lu family is a member of the same country, the Lu family and the royal family must be of the same mind. But does the cousin mean that the royal family is also suspicious of the Lu family?

Lu Qiongshuang quickly rejected this idea.

Because she is also from the Lu family.

Lu Qiong Shuang said: "I promise my cousin, if my cousin needs my martial arts skills, feel free to use me. We, the sons and daughters of the world, rely on friendship to walk in heaven and earth."

Jiang Xue smiled and patted her arm.

There was a knock on the door, and Fu Dong stretched his neck and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiaochun said: "It's me."

Jiang Xue nodded, Fu Dong walked over, opened the door, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaochun approached and said to Jiang Xue: "Huang Fu came to the backyard just now and asked to see His Highness. I said that Your Highness was unwell and had already ordered not to be disturbed."

Jiang Xue asked: "Did you say anything?"

"It's said that the consort sent someone back to report. The Ministry of Etiquette is very tight these days. His Majesty asked the consort to go over and help. Things are busy there. I guess he won't be back for two days. I came here to say something to His Highness."

Jiang Xue frowned: "Then tell him to find someone to pack up some clean clothes for the prince-in-law and send them to him."

Just as Xiaochun was about to go out, Jiang Xue suddenly asked: "The Ministry of Rites has been so busy recently? Can you tell me why?"

Lu Qiongshuang interrupted: "I know! Cousin Yu said that the envoy of the Qian Dynasty suddenly advanced the date of his arrival in Beijing and would be entering Beijing in two days. Therefore, Cousin Yu came to see his cousin at noon and left in a hurry. ”

Jiang Xue's heart skipped a beat.

"The envoy of the Qian Dynasty wants to come to Beijing in advance?"
