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

Faced with her trust, Xiao Zhan, who was originally angry, felt a warm current in his heart.

He picked her up, put her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and hugged her tightly: "Rest well now."

Jiang Xue snuggled up to his broad chest, the familiar ambergris made her feel at ease. She hugged his strong waist and slowly closed her eyes in this warm embrace.

The next morning, a group of people dressed in Beixi costumes appeared in front of the palace with Murray.

Due to Murray's special identity, the guards did not check him and let him pass directly.

"This way."

Jiang Xue led everyone back to the palace she was familiar with and walked towards a hidden garden with ease.

She squatted down and gently pressed the mechanism under the pool. The pavilion in the center of the garden slowly sank, revealing a secret passage leading underground.

"I never thought that there would be such a secret passage hidden in the Qian Kingdom Palace." Murray couldn't help but marvel at the spacious underground passage in front of him.

"This was built by my father for my mother, and later it became a secret paradise for my brother and me." Back here, Jiang Xue's face was filled with a nostalgic smile.

"Your father?" Murray asked in surprise.

It turned out that he had always wondered why Jiang Xue was so familiar with the imperial palace. Now he finally understood that she was the famous Princess Changle.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mo." Jiang Xue smiled apologetically for concealing her identity.

In this dangerous place, she had to be careful when facing strangers.

"Princess, you are very wise to do this. I would do the same if I were you." Murray expressed his understanding. After all, he had never completely trusted anyone from the beginning.

"From here on, we'd better split up." When they reached a three-way intersection, Jiang Xue stopped and said, "Each exit leads to a different palace, so we can find Brother faster."

"Then I'll take the road on the left," Murray said decisively.

"I'll go to the right." Qiu Qianhuan then took a step and walked to the right.

"I'll walk with you in the middle." Xiao Zhan insisted on going with Jiang Xue, not wanting her to take risks alone.

Jiang Xue looked up at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she shook her head gently: "I need your help with something else."

“Mr. Mo Si, can you please do me a favor?” She stopped Mo Rui who was about to leave. “The news of your entry into the palace should have reached Jiang Qiyuan. You must go see him within half an hour at most, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble. I hope you can bring Yun Che with you, pretending to be your guard, and ask Jiang Qiyuan to arrange two alchemists to go with you.”

Since Shangguan Jin had asked Jiang Qiyuan to prepare more than one alchemist, and Mo Rui came on behalf of Shangguan Jin, it would be most appropriate for him to make this request.

As for the task of bringing these alchemists to the Five Poisons Sect, it had to be Xiao Zhan. After all, only by taking the poison-repelling golden elixir could he enter and exit that place safely.

"I promised Master Qu before that I would bring her a few alchemists so that she can research a way to recover." This is also to eliminate future hidden dangers.

"Okay." Although he was still worried about her going it alone, Xiao Zhan still chose to support her decision because he was the only one who could do it.

"Here you go." He handed her a flare. "If you're in danger, you know how to use it to call for help."

He had arranged for Tieyi to blend in with the attendants and lurk in the palace. Once Linglong Pavilion sent out a signal, Tieyi would rush to support no matter where he was.

"Don't worry." She responded with a comforting smile, indicating that he didn't need to worry too much.

The two came to a palace through a secret passage. Jiang Xue did not walk out of the passage immediately, but listened quietly to the movements in the palace.

"What did you say? The things were taken away by Jiang Xue? What's going on with the Red Moon Cult?" Cao Zhiqing's angry voice came through the wall. It was obvious that this was her hiding place.

"There are people outside the wall. Miss Cao, you are speaking so loudly. Aren't you afraid that others will know your relationship with the Red Moon Cult?" Ding Tu said to her sarcastically while leisurely sipping tea.

"Fortunately, the head was not brought into the palace, otherwise if it was discovered by Jiang Qiyuan, would you still want to continue to be his favorite concubine?" Ding Tu continued.

"But that is..." Cao Zhiqing tried to argue, but was stopped by Ding Tu's sharp eyes.

She clenched her fists, her face full of resentment and hatred.

That was A Ling's head, a part of the person she loved deeply! She paid everything to reach an agreement with the Red Moon Sect, and Qu Shang promised to help her resurrect A Ling.

Without that head, how can I perform forbidden magic? How can I revive my loved ones?

"Miss Cao, there is one thing I want to remind you. My help in helping you become the concubine of the Qian Kingdom is not in vain. Before I obtain the secret technique of immortality, you'd better not cause trouble for me! Otherwise, I can help you up, but I can also easily bring you down!" Ding Tu said coldly.

If he didn't know that the Red Moon Cult was behind her, how could he have helped her?

Now Si Ruochen is under control. Even if he cannot be touched for the time being, as long as Jiang Xue is dealt with, will there be any fear of not being able to explain to Queen Lian?

Ding Tu went to Qian Kingdom with a more important secret in mind, seeking the secret of immortality.

Once he succeeded, he would no longer have to submit to the Mei family or the dreaded Queen Lian.

Cao Zhiqing didn't dare to say much in front of Ding Tu. She had learned how to detect danger from subtle details since she was a child.

Although Ding Tu looked calm, the cold light in his eyes made Cao Zhiqing feel a chill.

She knew very well that this man was very resourceful and could arrange everything, including her sleeping arrangements, in just one day.

Seeing Cao Zhiqing obediently fall silent, Ding Tu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He likes obedient people.

"Lord Tu." Soon, an attendant approached and whispered something in Ding Tu's ear.

Ding Tu's face changed slightly after hearing this, and then he sneered: "I never thought that the Five Poison Sect would reappear after ten years of seclusion. It's really interesting."

Jiang Xue in the tunnel heard these words and felt a little uneasy. The news of the Five Poison Sect's comeback had spread.

"I heard that the Five Poison Sect has a close relationship with the high priest of the Red Moon Sect. I wonder how the high priest will react when he learns about this?" Ding Tu said with interest, swinging one leg.

At this time, someone came to report that King Yuan summoned Ding Tu and prepared a sedan chair for him.

"It must be about the Five Poison Sect." Ding Tu stood up and left. Before leaving, he specifically instructed his men to keep an eye on Cao Zhiqing and prepare for her nighttime sleepover.

As soon as Ding Tu left, the old nanny in charge of housework took Cao Zhiqing to bathe and change clothes.

Jiang Xue quietly walked out of the tunnel only after making sure that there was no one around.

She searched everywhere in the hall for her senior brother Si Ruochen, but there was no sign of him.

Considering that her senior brother's hiding place must be extremely secluded, Jiang Xue tried to turn the inkstone on the desk.

Sure enough, the screen at the back parted, revealing a secret room.
