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

"Your Highness, this young man has been taking care of you during your injury." Qiu Qianhuan explained.

"I see. Thank you very much." Si Ruochen nodded in thanks. Although he still had questions in his mind, there were more important things waiting for him to deal with at the moment.

"You mentioned Xiaoxue just now, what happened?" Si Ruochen turned to Xiao Zhan and asked, noticing that the other's face was as gloomy as the sky before a rainstorm.

"Xiaoxue was kidnapped by Ding Tu and has not returned for a night. Her whereabouts are unknown." Xiao Zhan said bluntly.

Hearing the news, Si Ruochen's heart sank and he became worried.

At this tense moment, "Your Highness! There is new news!" A spy hurried over and knelt in front of Xiao Zhan to report.

At the same time, in the dungeon where Ding Tu was, he looked at the scene in amazement: those poisonous snakes and scorpions not only avoided Jiang Xue, but also attacked anyone who approached her, as if they had become her guardians.

"Ding Tu, after a whole night of torture, you actually did a good thing for me."

The poison in Jiang Xue's body was churning, and the pain was unbearable, as if her internal organs were about to burst. But when she faced Ding Tu, she remained calm.

Gently stroking the snake's head beside her, a scornful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Having practiced poison arts since childhood, Jiang Xue has long been accustomed to poisons.

Her master trained her to be a medicine man, allowing her to control these highly poisonous creatures with ease; the smell of her blood alone was enough to make the poisonous creatures obedient.

Although she was seriously injured and bleeding profusely at this time, the scorpion pot became a powerful weapon for her.

"Go." Jiang Xue opened her red lips slightly and pointed at the two guards who were about to arrest her.

As the order was given, two poisonous snakes as black as ink quickly attacked and bit the guards.

Almost instantly, the two men fell to the ground, twitching, foaming at the mouth, and soon died.

After completing their task, the two snakes slid straight towards Ding Tu, but the latter was faster and chopped them into several pieces with a wave of his hand!

"Let the ground sink!" Ding Tu gave the order coldly. The ground sank and the scorpion pot became deeper.

"Even if the scorpion pot can't kill you now, I don't believe that those poisonous insects won't eat you after a few days of starvation! If the princess is willing to beg for mercy, maybe she can still save her life."

"Beg for mercy? Lord Ding waited all night just for me to surrender. If I really bow my head and admit defeat, I'm afraid I'll be executed in the blink of an eye." Jiang Xue responded with a sneer, her eyes full of contempt for the other party.

What Ding Tu hated the most was this kind of contemptuous look. He felt that his dignity was challenged, and he was even more annoyed that his thoughts were easily seen through.

"Princess, you should know that people who are too smart often don't live long."

"Have you managed to survive until now by pretending to be stupid?" Jiang Xue retorted.

The person who said this is simply feeling frustrated because his intentions have been exposed.

"You!" Ding Tu was extremely angry and felt extremely insulted.

Just at this moment, a messenger arrived, "King Yuan summons you."

Before leaving, Ding Tu glared at Jiang Xue fiercely and said, "Keep a close eye on her!" Then he turned and left.

When we entered the Xuchen Palace, we saw many officials gathered, including Chief Zhou and others from the Second Battalion of the Tieyun Army.

"Master Tu is here. May I ask what Jiang Xue has said?" Jiang Qiyuan asked anxiously.

Since learning that the Five Poison Sect had reappeared in the world, the Red Moon Sect revealed to Jiang Qiyuan that the imperial seal had been taken away by Jiang Xue.

For many days, the men he sent out searched everywhere for Jiang Xue's whereabouts, but to no avail.

Ding Tu finally caught her. Jiang Qiyuan had been trying to find an opportunity to avoid Ding Tu and personally interrogate her about the whereabouts of the imperial seal, but Ding Tu stayed by his side all night, making it impossible for him to do so.

"Confess? Your Majesty, I arrested Princess Changle because we have a personal grudge, and I tortured her to vent my hatred. Could it be that Your Majesty has something for her to confess?" Ding Tu retorted, with an unyielding attitude. Since last night, he noticed that Jiang Qiyuan kept sending people to try to intervene. If the other party was not the Emperor of Qian, those people would have been dealt with by him long ago.

"Haha, no, no, I just asked casually. I thought Lord Tu was interrogating all night to obtain some important information." Jiang Qiyuan quickly tried to smooth things over, fearing that he would reveal his flaws.

After all, how could such a scandal be allowed to leak out when an emperor ascended the throne without the imperial seal?

A civil official made a gesture of wiping his neck and hinted, "Your Majesty, if the news about Princess Changle leaks out, General Meng, General Wu and other former generals will force you to abdicate and support the legitimate heir. Now that she is under control, why not...solve the problem once and for all?"

"Do you think I don't want to? But I can't touch her now." Jiang Qiyuan glanced at Ding Tu beside him, with a hint of meaning in his words.

"After all, she is the daughter of the late emperor and a direct descendant of the royal family of Qian. If she dies in Qian, how will the public gossip be quelled?" Jiang Qiyuan made up an excuse to avoid arousing Ding Tu's suspicion.

"That's a problem." Ding Tu said slowly, "However, Princess Changle married into the Kingdom of Qian and became the Princess of Gong. Beiling has already announced her death.

Now that people all believe that Princess Gong is dead, Princess Changle no longer exists in this world.

You could claim that the woman is just an impostor, using the princess's name to deceive people.

Impersonating a royal family member is a serious crime, and once she is convicted, it would be reasonable to execute her."

The censors immediately agreed: "What a great idea! This way we can properly deal with the princess without causing public outrage. It's a really good idea!"

"Before dealing with Changle, I have to go to the secret prison myself." Jiang Qiyuan was thinking about how to contact Jiang Xue alone and obtain the jade seal.

With the imperial seal, his throne could be secure and he would have more confidence in negotiations when facing the Three Kingdoms.

"Mo Tian, ​​please accompany me on this trip." Mo Tian volunteered, as this would be a good opportunity to find out where the princess was being held.

Each secret cell in the Qian Kingdom Palace has its own key, and it is impossible to enter without a key.

Mo Tian followed Jiang Qiyuan to a secret cell deep inside the Xuchen Palace, where normally no one could enter unless granted permission by the emperor.

As the door hinge creaked, Jiang Xue slowly raised her head and saw the person coming. She stopped stroking the snake's head. "Changle, long time no see."

Jiang Qiyuan stood on a high place, looking down at his niece covered in wounds, and felt a little happy. Since he was a child, he always felt that he was inferior to his brother in every way.

Whether in terms of background, knowledge or number of offspring, he is not as good as Jiang Xun.

This long-term frustration made him hate Jiang Xun and he wanted to destroy everything the other person had.

Now seeing Jiang Xun's beloved daughter suffering, it felt like he had won a game too.

"Long time no see, uncle." Jiang Xue said with a sneer, her fingers lightly touching the bamboo flute at her waist. The poisonous snakes around her became restless due to the change in her breath and gradually moved closer to Jiang Qiyuan.

If the trap hadn't been too deep, the snakes would have jumped on it long ago.
