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

Entering the secret room, I saw Si Ruochen lying unconscious on a stone bed and a stone table.

"Senior Brother?" Jiang Xue stepped forward and checked his pulse, finding nothing unusual. She called him softly and patted his cheek gently.

Jiang Xue carefully examined Si Ruochen's body and finally found a tiny bulge on the top of his head.

She gently pinched the bulge with two fingers, and with a little force, a thin silver needle was pulled out of his head.

Because the needle had been buried in the brain for a long time, it still had some blood and flesh on it when it was taken out.

Seeing the needle, Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with anger. This brain-sealing technique was extremely cruel, and she couldn't think of anyone else who would use such a method except Qu Shang.

Once inserted, the victim will experience unspeakable pain. Now that the needle has been removed, Si Ruochen's tightly closed eyes began to tremble, and he was obviously in great pain.

"Brother, hold on a little longer, I'll take you out of here." Jiang Xue gave him a painkiller pill, and then helped him walk towards the tunnel with difficulty. But before they reached the door, Ding Tu came back.

Jiang Xue hurriedly took Si Ruochen and hid behind the screen, trying not to make any noise.

"Master?" An attendant asked softly when he saw Ding Tu standing motionless in front of the desk.

Ding Tu sneered, stared at the traces on the table and said, "It seems that the guards of Qian Kingdom are too lax, even a rat can get in. But can this rat take away what it wants?"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the screen and signaled his followers to move. The latter immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the screen, piercing it in an instant. "Princess Changle, why do you have to hide so much when you return to your own home?"

Blood dripped from the wound on Jiang Xue's shoulder, leaving red stains on the floor.

Ding Tu looked at her, a cold smile appeared on his lips, "You are indeed very smart."

Jiang Xue gritted her teeth and replied, "Master Tu does have a unique vision."

Her injuries were severe, and the venom was rapidly corroding her body, making it difficult even for someone who was well versed in medicine to resist.

"Is this a special poison made by the Crimson Moon Cult? Designed to deal with people like me? After I killed their men last night, I knew this day would come."

"Hmph, I was just being used by Qu Shang. Are you proud of this, Master Tu?" Jiang Xue's voice was weak but still firm.

She felt dizzy, but she couldn't fall down at this moment!

In order not to reveal Si Ruochen's location, she forced herself not to look at him. She clenched the flare Xiao Zhan gave her with her fingers and pulled it hard, and the light instantly pierced the night sky.

"Princess Changle, you don't seem to realize your situation yet." Ding Tu's eyes were like the deep darkness of the night, and he was very unwilling. What he hated most was being used as a pawn.

As for Jiang Xue's sharp tongue, he wished he could make her shut up forever.

But he enjoyed the process of slowly torturing her more. Thinking of the humiliation of his previous defeats at her hands, the flame of revenge ignited in his heart.

He became extremely excited whenever he imagined the pain she would suffer.

"Do you think that if you release this light, someone will come to rescue you? Princess, you are too naive." As the fireworks gradually dissipated in the air, Ding Tu raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sneer: "Now, the person waiting for rescue is probably dead."

Seeing the fire of hope in Jiang Xue's eyes gradually extinguished, Ding Tu ordered with satisfaction: "Take her away and let the princess experience our newly developed punishment."

On the cold ground, the air was filled with the smell of blood. Jiang Xue felt unbearable pain in her chest, but she clenched her teeth and did not let any moan escape.

"Master, the scorpion basin is ready." A servant reported in a low voice.

Ding Tu glanced at Jiang Xue, who was sweating profusely but remained silent, and felt a little admiration in his heart.

All night long, he tortured her with all kinds of poisons, not giving her a moment's respite.

An ordinary person would have collapsed long ago; however, this woman managed to hold on without making a sound.

Not only Ding Tu, but everyone present was shocked by Jiang Xue's tenacious vitality.

"Bring her here." Ding Tu said coldly, and stood up from his seat, his heart burning with anger. The pleasure he had expected had long since disappeared, leaving only unsatisfied resentment.

"If she continues like this, she may not live long..." the subordinate reminded, but Ding Tu did not stop, leaving only a gloomy back.

In the deep pit, countless poisonous snakes and scorpions were crawling, and even the people who were carrying out the punishment felt a chill.

They couldn't help but feel pity for the woman who was about to be thrown into this horrible abyss. A single bite from these poisonous creatures was enough to kill her.

"Master Tu, King Yuan and the high priest of the Red Moon Cult have said that she cannot die for the time being. These poisons are extremely toxic. What if..." A servant tried to persuade him, but before he finished speaking, Ding Tu suddenly attacked and pushed him into the pit! In an instant, the poisonous snakes quickly wrapped around the unfortunate servant, and in a moment, not even a bone was left.

The other attendants were so frightened when they saw this scene that they were speechless and trembling all over.

Ding Tu glanced around coldly and asked, "Who else wants to talk?"

There was silence all around.

"Very good, throw her down!" Ding Tu thought, once those poisonous creatures get close to her, let's see how long she can endure.

Even if she died, the Tongxin Gu in her body would be removed.

At the same time, in the palace, Xiao Zhan heard Tieyi report that Si Ruochen had woken up, but there was no joy on his face.

"Your Highness, I failed to protect the princess. Please punish me." Tieyi blamed himself.

When he received the signal and rushed to where Jiang Xue was, he was late because of many obstacles he encountered along the way.

In the end, only Si Ruochen was found hiding behind the screen, while Jiang Xue had been taken away by Ding Tu.

A night passed, and her whereabouts were still unknown. Thinking of Ding Tu's cruelty, Xiao Zhan was extremely anxious.

"Get up." Xiao Zhan said lightly.

At this moment, his biggest concern was finding Jiang Xue.

After learning that Si Ruochen had woken up, Mo Rui also came to check and asked if there was any news about Jiang Xue.

Faced with Xiao Zhan's anxious eyes, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Mo Rui shook his head. "Ding Tu is very skilled and has a close relationship with Prince Yuan. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to get information about Princess Changle from them."

When Jiang Xue's name was mentioned outside the door, Si Ruochen had just woken up and immediately felt uneasy.

Although he was so weak that he could barely stand, he still struggled to get up, thanks to Qiu Qianhuan's support.

Otherwise, a gust of wind could blow him down.

"Let me do it." Mo Rui saw Qiu Qianhuan holding Si Ruochen's hand and felt it was a bit annoying, so he stepped forward to support him and pushed Qiu Qianhuan aside.

"?" Qiu Qianhuan looked confused, not understanding where this sudden coldness came from.

"This is..." Si Ruochen felt unfamiliar with Mo Rui, whom he had never met before.
