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

At this moment, Xiao Zhan seemed to have the upper hand, making Xiao Yan feel unprecedented oppression.

"Xiao Yan, when I count to three, you must immediately have your people release the Empress Dowager, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

The veteran in the audience watched all this, and the Xiao Zhan in front of him seemed to make him see the figure of the former prince again.

Xiao Yunjian's figure appeared before him again!

He called out in a low voice, unconsciously shocked by the momentum.

For many years, because Xiao Zhan always appeared to be cynical, he had never observed the child carefully.

If I had paid more attention earlier, how could I have missed such a striking resemblance between them!

No wonder my cousin insisted on raising the child herself despite all opposition!

This is the bloodline of His Highness Yun Jian!

"Ridiculous!" Facing Xiao Zhan's warning, Xiao Yan sneered. As the Emperor of Beiling, how could he tolerate such threats from a prince?

He waved his hand to signal the guards: "Since Prince Gong has no intention of protecting the Queen Mother, then what's the point of keeping her? Execute her on the spot!"

The guard responded, and with a flash of knife in his hand, he was about to cut the Queen Mother's throat.

Suddenly, a sword energy broke through the air.

The guard's arm was cut off accurately!

The broken arm and the knife fell to the ground together. Xiao Zhan quickly pulled the empress dowager to safety and swung the long knife, directly piercing the guard's body.

"Who did it?" Xiao Yan was furious. The sword energy obviously did not come from Xiao Zhan's hand.

His eyes turned to Lu Changfeng, only to find that he was holding a spear in his hand.

So, where does the sword energy come from?

"Xiao Yan, long time no see."

A familiar voice came from the air, and a pale blue figure landed lightly in the center of Xuchen Palace.

When the Queen Mother heard the voice, she was shocked and quickly turned to look at the tall man.

Her face was pale and her lips trembled, first with surprise, then joy, and finally full of sadness.

After a moment, the name that he had dreamed of for many years was finally uttered.

"Yun Jian."

This call plunged the entire hall into silence.

Everyone, even Xiao Zhan, looked at the man wearing the silver mask in shock.

"Grandmother, what did you say?" Xiao Zhan's heart was filled with waves.

The man in the audience was actually his father? How was this possible? Xiao Yan remembered clearly that his father had passed away long ago.

He suppressed his inner fear, barely supported his trembling legs, tightly grasped the handrail beside him, and squinted his eyes to carefully look at the man in the pale blue robe in front of him.

Could he be Xiao Yunjian? No! It's impossible! Xiao Yunjian had passed away long ago, and Xiao Yan witnessed him falling into the abyss with his own eyes. How could someone who fell off such a deep cliff still be alive?

"The Queen Mother must be terrified! Xiao Yunjian died more than ten years ago! This person is definitely not him!" Xiao Yan shouted loudly, trying to hide his panic. At the same time, he pointed at the mysterious man and ordered: "Guards, arrest this man immediately and execute him on the spot!"

The guards who were originally besieging Xiao Zhan immediately turned to the new target, but the man in blue was agile and avoided all attacks by lightly tapping the ground. The sword in his hand passed through the air like a flying flower, easily repelling the approaching enemies.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yan felt a chill in his heart and took a few steps back involuntarily.

The man's eyes swept across the Queen Mother and Xiao Zhan, then he slowly took off his mask, revealing a face that was extremely similar to Xiao Zhan. It was none other than the legendary deceased Prince of Beiling, Xiao Yunjian!

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." All the ministers in the court were shocked. They looked at the former crown prince who was once deeply loved in disbelief.

"Xiao Yunjian, are you still alive?" Looking at the familiar face, Xiao Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

He originally thought that after getting rid of Xiao Zhan, the throne would be as stable as a rock. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunjian would reappear in the world today. This made Xiao Yan feel an unprecedented threat.

"Yes, I'm still alive." Xiao Yunjian looked at his once close brother expressionlessly, his tone cold and full of resentment, "Xiao Yan, I'm back, are you disappointed?"

In the battle of Chillon, he led his army forward, but was betrayed by a traitor within the army, who set fire to their food supplies, and the soldiers fell down one after another due to hunger.

Although he urgently requested for help, the reinforcements were slow to arrive. Facing the situation of being outnumbered by the enemy, he was in a desperate situation.

In order to survive, he had to cling to the cliff, holding on to the edge of the rock with both hands, hanging in mid-air.

He had intended to wait until the enemy patrol left before climbing up, but unexpectedly, his most trusted brother stepped on his fingers cruelly when he was about to reach the top of the cliff, pushing him into the abyss.

At that moment, Xiao Yunjian would always remember that sinister smile.

Fortunately, several branches slowed his fall and he finally survived at the bottom of the cliff. He happened to meet an old man who came to collect herbs. The old man was the owner of Changle Mountain. He not only saved his life, but also helped him treat his injuries.

However, this serious injury caused him to lose all his martial arts skills, and he lay in bed for three months before he could barely get up. During this period, his princess was forced to death and the prince's mansion was destroyed.

"Yun Jian, my child." The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with tears as she finally saw her son whom she had missed for so long.

She stroked her son's face with trembling hands, fearing that it was just a temporary illusion.

"Mother..." Seeing the palm marks on his mother's face and her gray hair, Xiao Yunjian's heart was filled with grief and anger. His voice also trembled.

"Where have you been all these years? Your mother misses you so much." When the Queen Mother heard her son's voice, she could no longer control her tears and hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go.

This scene surprised Xiao Zhan, who had never seen his grandmother cry since he was a child. In his eyes, the royal grandmother was always strong and unyielding, and she could remain calm even in the face of danger.

And now, she showed such a vulnerable side in front of her father.

Xiao Yunjian noticed his grandson, and although he felt a little disappointed, he quickly understood.

After all, I have always been absent during this child's growth.

Just as the mother and son were immersed in the joy of reunion, a burst of applause broke the silence.

"What a touching scene. If it wasn't the wrong timing, I really wouldn't want to disturb this warmth." A voice came from a corner of the palace, interrupting this warm yet heavy moment.

In a dim corner, Su Ming slowly appeared with a mocking smile on his face, staring coldly at Xiao Yunjian in the hall.

"Your Highness, it's been a long time since we last met." Su Ming said provocatively.

"Su Ming!" Xiao Yunjian's eyes were burning with anger, almost devouring the other person.

He entrusted the empress dowager to Lu Changfeng for protection, then he activated his internal energy and the sword in his hand pointed directly at Su Ming like lightning!

Ding!

The sound of metal colliding resounded throughout the Xuchen Palace. Before the echo faded, a figure appeared in front of Su Ming like a ghost and blocked the fatal blow for him.
