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

Jiang Xue frowned and quickly glanced at Mo Tianshi, indicating that they should evacuate immediately.

"Hurry, don't let them run away." Following Wu Yungui's order, the soldiers immediately took action to chase the mob.

Wu Yungui looked carefully at the corpse on the ground, his eyes revealing a hint of thought.

"What's the situation?" After returning to the mansion, Jiang Xue hurriedly asked Mo Tian.

"Thanks to the princess' timely order, everyone is safe except the one who was killed by Wu Yungui." Mo Tian replied.

"Not bad." Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect Wu Yungui to stand up like this."

Commander Meng was very surprised by this. After all, the Wu family and the Meng family were both military families. Logically speaking, the Wu family should not help at this moment. Wu Yungui's behavior was indeed unexpected.

"If he saves the emperor, will it affect our plan?" Qu Ruchen asked in a low voice.

"No." Xiao Zhan replied, "After this incident, Jiang Qiyuan should be more aware of the need for reliable generals around him. I guess he is considering recalling Bai Yunqi."

"Even so, the responsibility of guarding the royal city still has to be given to a military general. Therefore, no matter what, it is inevitable that General Bai will return to the court." Jiang Xue added.

Sure enough, within a few days, Jiang Qiyuan issued an edict, ordering Bai Yunqi, who was far away in the border, to return to the royal capital immediately.

"You have a really smart brain." Qu Ruchen gave a rare compliment.

The princess is so wise that even the old ministers feel inferior to her. "General Meng said with great satisfaction. If Princess Changle could ascend the throne, with her talent, she would surely become a great ruler.

"You two adults are too kind, but it's too early to celebrate now." Jiang Xue said with a slight pursed mouth.

"What does the princess mean?" Meng Chunyi and another minister were confused.

"Beixi's stronghold has been destroyed, and I am worried about this now." Xiao Zhan walked in with a delicate dice in his hand. He sat down next to Jiang Xue with a serious expression and handed the dice to her.

"Yu Prajna and Nangong Yue have gone to investigate the situation. None of the Beixi spies who were bewitched by your witchcraft survived. They died horribly, and some even had their stomachs cut open and their hearts dug out." Xiao Zhan said while paying attention to the changes in Jiang Xue's expression.

"Have you found out who did it?" Jiang Xue opened the exquisite dice and carefully looked at the information on it.

These strongholds were destroyed very cleanly, leaving no clues after the fire. Such thorough destruction seemed to indicate someone was hiding some secret.

"There is no clue yet." Xiao Zhan spread out the map and marked the destroyed strongholds in red. "Not only Beixi, but also Xiyong and Yingxia's strongholds were burned down."

"This may be a good thing, it means that there are others who are also eliminating these threats." Qu Ruchen commented.

Is this really a good thing? Jiang Xue looked at the red circle on the map with a frown on her face. She had an ominous feeling in her heart, as if it was foreshadowing a greater crisis was coming.

In the dead of night, a raging fire suddenly broke out in another place. The fire spread quickly and swallowed everything.

"Da Si."

A dark figure climbed in through the window and knelt down in front of Ding Tu.

"Is the matter settled?"

Ding Tu turned his back to him and completed the last stroke with the carving knife in his hand. He looked at the jade with satisfaction. This piece of jade was extremely similar to Jiang Xue's jade seal.

"Reporting to Master Tu, all bases have been completely burned down. According to your order, not a single trace is left."

"Well done." Ding Tu blew away the powder on the jade, stood up and handed it to the shadow: "Now bury it in a place that is easy to find but not too conspicuous."

"As ordered!"

As the shadow disappeared into the night, Ding Tu showed a cold smile: "Princess Changle, let's see how you can escape the net I have set this time."

A few days later, in the morning, when Jiang Xue woke up, she found Xiao Zhan holding up his head and looking at her with satisfaction on his face.

He had been particularly passionate last night, and stopped only when she was exhausted. Now her back and waist ached, and she felt weak all over.

She turned over, facing him with her charming back, and murmured, "You were so gentle before, but you were like a wild wolf last night."

Xiao Zhan laughed softly, pulled her into his arms, and left a kiss on her neck: "I haven't done this for a long time. I can't help myself at the moment. Please forgive me, Princess."

"How can it be a long time? We just met not long ago and you..." She turned her head and wanted to refute, but he suddenly sealed her lips.

What a cunning guy.

A knock on the door interrupted the atmosphere in the room.

"Stop making trouble, someone is coming."

Jiang Xue grabbed his hand and asked coquettishly, "Who is it?"

Nangong Yue's voice came from outside the door, sounding like she was trying to hold back a laugh: "It's me."

Seeing Xiao Zhan's smirk, Jiang Xue patted him lightly. She stood up and put on her clothes, then turned around to find Xiao Zhan sitting up. His lower body was neatly dressed, but his upper body was only covered with a coat, revealing his muscular body and a few red marks on his neck.

"Hurry up and put on your clothes." Jiang Xue's face flushed. If she opened the door like this, wouldn't Nangong Yue and the others be laughing at her?

Seeing her shy look, Xiao Zhan was in a good mood and teased her deliberately, "I'm already dressed. It should be okay to go out like this, right? If the princess feels it's inappropriate, why don't you help me put it in place yourself?"

Thinking of the time when she helped him dress himself in the palace, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

"You're such a headache sometimes." Jiang Xue sighed, found the clothes that were thrown aside last night, and began to dress him.

When she bent down to tie her belt, Xiao Zhan's eyes became gentle. He put his arms around her waist and whispered, "Xiaoxue..."

Feeling the heat coming from his palm, Jiang Xue pushed him away a little: "Yun Che, stop making trouble, we still have something to discuss."

"Oh, okay." Xiao Zhan let go of his hand, secretly sighing that the timing was wrong.

He whispered in her ear: "Remember this account first and make it up to her tonight." The hot breath brushed over her earlobe, stirring Jiang Xue's heartstrings again.

This man is simply his doom.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart.

"Is there anything wrong?" As she said that, she opened the door and saw Nangong Yue leaning lazily against the door frame, and she yawned when she saw them.

"Why are you two so slow? What have you been doing for so long?" Nangong Yue smiled wickedly, enjoying teasing them.

"Do what you want to do but don't have the courage to do." Xiao Zhan answered calmly, looking at Nangong Yue with a smile on his face. This sentence made Nangong Yue's face twitch.

What a devil, Nangong Yue cursed secretly in her heart, this guy always hits the nail on the head, it's really a headache.

Seeing Nangong Yue being speechless by Xiao Zhan, Jiang Xue couldn't help laughing. Everyone knew Nangong Yue's feelings for Prajna.

Although Prajna is a generous and open-minded man who is usually carefree, he is notoriously difficult to approach emotionally.

Although her relationship with Nangong Yue was settled, there was no progress on further matters.
