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

Everyone fled the scene. Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue supported Xiao Yunjian and the Queen Mother respectively as they ran out.

Looking back, he found that Qiu Qianhuan, Xiao Yan and Su Ming were nowhere to be seen. They had obviously been taken away by Qu Shang.

After finally reaching a safe area, Xiao Yunjian's body shook a few times, then he closed his eyes and fainted on the ground.

"Master!"

"Father!"

"Yun Jian!"

After three exclamations, Xiao Yunjian fell into darkness.

Inside the Luanyi Palace, Jiang Xue was rescuing the unconscious Xiao Yunjian, her expression complicated and heavy.

The Queen Mother and Xiao Zhan waited silently by the side, anxious in their hearts but able to do nothing but wait.

At this time, Qing Feng hurried back and reported to Xiao Zhan: "Your Highness, we found traces of Su Ming and his group in a dilapidated temple in the eastern suburbs of Yujing City. Do we need to send someone there?"

Xiao Zhan frowned, "Su Ming, the old fox, left clues on purpose. He must be setting a trap. We just need to keep a close watch and not act rashly."

Qing Feng nodded in agreement, and then added in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Ninth Princess and Miss Lu suddenly disappeared, and everyone in the Nan Mansion disappeared as well. I'm afraid they have been taken away by Xiao Yan."

"Does the Marquis of Zhenbei know about this?" Xiao Zhan asked in a low voice, pulling Qing Feng towards the door so that Jiang Xue would not hear.

"The Marquis has learned the news and personally led his troops to look for Miss Lu. He originally wanted to go to the dilapidated temple but was dissuaded by our soldiers." Qing Feng replied.

"What about the Su family?" Xiao Zhan asked. Although Su Ming escaped, the Su family could not escape.

"I led people to search the mansion, and found that there was no one there. It seems that Su Yushu had already prepared to escape." Qing Feng said helplessly.

This meant that they lost the hostages with whom they could put pressure on Xiao Yan's side.

At this moment, Tieyi came in and reported: "The Sixth Prince wants to see you."

Xiao Zhan was slightly surprised, "Xiao Shen? He didn't leave with Su Ming? That's really unexpected."

After taking a look at the busy scene in the room, Xiao Zhan ordered: "Tell him to wait in the side hall. I will be there later."

After Tie Yi left, Xiao Zhan turned to face Jiang Xue who had just come out of the inner room: "Xiao Xue, how is Yun Jian doing now?"

Jiang Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the empress dowager immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, her eyes never leaving Xiao Yunjian lying on the bed, worry in her eyes.

For many years, she always thought that her son had passed away. Unexpectedly, when she met him again today, she saw that he was covered with scars and she was powerless to do anything.

As a mother, the Queen Mother felt guilty towards Xiao Yunjian.

"Please rest assured, Queen Mother. His condition has stabilized." Jiang Xue comforted him softly, "It's just that the 'three chances' that Qu Shang mentioned before he left has confused me."

During the treatment, the mysterious words kept echoing in her mind, but she could never understand their meaning.

It seems that I can only wait until Master wakes up and ask him in detail.

“Huh? Where’s Yun Che?” She looked around but didn’t see Xiao Zhan.

"Princess, His Highness said that if the princess wants to see him, please go to the side hall." The guard replied respectfully.

Jiang Xue nodded, took her leave from the Queen Mother, and walked towards the side hall. "Hmm? Sixth Prince?"

As soon as I arrived at the door of the side hall, I met Xiao Shen who was walking out.

"Princess Changle." Xiao Shen stopped and saluted politely, his face still showing his usual indifference.

Facing this elusive Sixth Prince, Jiang Xue couldn't help but frown: "Why is the Sixth Prince still in Yujing?"

"This is my hometown. Why can't I stay here?" Xiao Shen responded calmly.

Seeing that he had no ill intentions, Jiang Xue could only laugh it off.

"I'm sorry for asking that."

"If you want to know the reason, you might as well ask your husband directly." After saying that, Xiao Shen bowed again and said goodbye, leaving behind a string of puzzling words before leaving.

Looking at his receding figure, Jiang Xue whispered to herself, "He's such an unpredictable person."

At this time, Qing Feng walked out of the side hall and saluted when he saw Jiang Xue: "Princess, welcome back. Your Highness has loved nature since he was a child, so he may not be very thoughtful in his actions. Please forgive me."

The princess finally returned to the palace. The two little maids in the palace must have been very happy.

"Long time no see, Qingfeng." Jiang Xue's lips curled up slightly. Seeing her old friend made her feel warm in her heart.

She raised her hand to signal Qingfeng to stand up, and followed his guidance into the side hall.

When he saw Xiao Zhan standing there, his expression seemed a little more relaxed than before.

"It seems that the Sixth Prince's coming this time is not a bad thing."

Having been with Xiao Zhan for a long time, Jiang Xue could guess what he was thinking just by the changes in his expression, even if he didn't say anything. Xiao Zhan's big hand wrapped around her waist:

"I have reached an agreement with my sixth brother. I will help him save Concubine Zhao Jinyan's life, and he will help me deal with Su Ming and his group."

"To deal with Su Ming's gang, his biological father Xiao Yan is among them. Can he really do it?"

The crime of patricide is a heavy one. If Xiao Shen bears this crime, his life will never be at peace.

"Naturally, Xiao Yan's affairs will not be handled by our royal family. Don't worry, there are people willing to do it for you." Xiao Zhan patted her waist and comforted her.

As night fell, a dark shadow quietly entered a dilapidated temple east of Yujing City.

Many people gathered in the temple. Lu Linyi and Xiao Xianyu were thrown aside with their hands and feet tied, and the followers of the Nan family stood on both sides waiting for orders.

Nan Jingxing looked at Lu Linyi frequently, his eyes full of worry, and was thinking about how to rescue her.

"Sixth Prince, what's the current situation in the palace?" Su Ming, who was sitting next to Xiao Yan, asked the black shadow that had just entered.

The man took off his hood, revealing a handsome face...it was Xiao Shen.

"Xiao Yunjian is unconscious, and the Queen Mother is just guarding him; the Marquis of Zhenbei has sent a large number of soldiers to search everywhere to find his daughter; the Eighth Prince also fell out with the Fourth Prince because of the matter of the Ninth Princess."

"What about Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue?" Qu Shang was only concerned about the movements of these two people, and didn't care about the others.

"Jiang Xue is mobilizing the Tieyun Army, while Fourth Brother is gathering the forces of Linglong Pavilion."

They knew about the news that Xiao Zhan was Young Master Xuanji half a month ago.

At this time, the guards brought in two captured masked men in black and reported: "Prime Minister, we have captured two suspicious people."

"Humph, they are indeed from Linglong Pavilion." Su Ming sneered after searching the Linglong dice from the two people, "Thanks to the Sixth Prince, we were able to get this important bargaining chip."

"With this exquisite dice, are you still afraid that Xiao Zhan won't take the bait?" He held the dice tightly, making a slight sound.

Xiao Shen stepped aside in silence. He caught a glimpse of Xiao Xianyu shivering in the corner, and the calm surface of his heart began to ripple.

The next day, in Xuchen Hall, Xiao Zhan received a letter from the guardian of the ruined temple. He opened the exquisite dice-shaped secret letter and read it carefully, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"What happened?" Jiang Xue noticed his expression and walked up to ask.
