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

Before they could react, the giant python swallowed them one by one.

The scene in front of her shocked Lu Linyi, but she quickly regained her composure and tried to stand up, but felt someone holding her shoulder.

She was about to scream when a hand covered her mouth.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." A familiar voice sounded in his ears... It was Nan Jingxing.

Lu Linyi was very shocked. Why was Nan Jingxing here?

"I don't want to follow Xiao Yan." Nan Jingxing said.

"Really?" Lu Linyi's eyes were filled with disbelief and emotion.

Nan Jingxing began to untie her restraints and explained, "If the direction is wrong from the beginning, you shouldn't continue going forward."

"Nan Jingxing, how dare you betray me." Xiao Yan turned to him in anger and ordered the people around him to surround him.

At this moment, a clear voice interrupted the tense atmosphere: "Your Majesty is so angry, what is he going to do?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Jiang Xue bringing Xiao Zhan and Xiao Shen into the ruined temple.

"Rebellious son, you have betrayed me too?" Xiao Yan looked at his son in shock, the man he had always trusted.

Xiao Yan was very angry. He had never thought that he would be betrayed by his own people.

The sounds of fighting between Xiao Yun, Su Ming and others came from outside, and the situation in the ruined temple made him even more chilling: a giant python had just swallowed the last soldier.

Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan stood at the door and looked at him with a smile.

Everything suddenly became clear.

Xiao Yun's mission was only to delay Su Ming and his troops so that Xiao Shen and Xiao Zhan could attack them from both inside and outside and capture them in one fell swoop.

"Don't you find it strange? Why did Qu Shang only leave a few men and never show up again?" Jiang Xue asked with a sneer, "Because he knows our plan. With his injuries, if he stays here, there is no way he can escape unscathed."

Xiao Yan was furious and glared at Xiao Shen fiercely, as if he wanted to tear him apart. "How dare you betray me."

Xiao Zhan stepped forward, stood in front of Xiao Shen, and looked directly at Xiao Yan: "After being a father for so long, don't you know where you failed? Sixth brother yearns for a free life, but you force him to get involved in the power struggle. And Concubine Zhao Jinyan, did you give her to Su Ming to win him over?"

When Xiao Shen mentioned Concubine Shu, his anger became even more obvious. Although she came from a famous family, her family was in decline, but such a woman should not be treated like this.

Xiao Zhan took advantage of this and gained the support of the nobles. With the influence of Marquis Zhenbei and the help of Xiao Yunjian, he won the support of the people of Yujing City in just a few days and was about to ascend the throne as emperor.

To Xiao Shen, his cousin Xiao Zhan is obviously more trustworthy than his ruthless father.

He had always envied Xiao Yun's close relationship with Xiao Zhan, and he had tried to get closer to him, but was stopped by his mother.

At this moment, Xiao Shen showed a rare smile on his face, and looked gratefully at Xiao Zhan who was blocking the threat for him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Yan shouted anxiously: "Qiu Qianhuan, come and save me."

Jiang Xue responded coldly: "It's no use looking for him." Standing behind her was Qiu Qianhuan, whom Xiao Yan had called.

"You..." Xiao Yan looked at Qiu Qianhuan.

"Don't be naive. How reliable can a traitor be?" Jiang Xue looked at Qiu Qianhuan, "Do as agreed."

The two had reached an agreement before: she helped Qiu Qianhuan to eliminate Emperor Chengyuan Song Yi, and he had to obey her orders.

After hearing the instructions, Qiu Qianhuan acted quickly and ended Xiao Yan's life with one knife.

Su Ming and General Nan Lao joined forces to rebel, imprisoned the former emperor and tortured him to death.

Xiao Zhan was filled with grief and anger, and has now brought the rebels to justice.

When Xiao Yan's bloody head rolled to his feet, Xiao Zhan stepped on his open eyes.

"Have you written it all down?" Jiang Xue looked at the recorder of the Zongzheng Mansion with a sharp gaze. She brought him here specifically to ensure that this history was recorded.

"Yes," the recorder replied respectfully.

"As for Nan Jingxing..." Jiang Xue turned to the direction of Lu Linyi, and after their eyes met, she said to Xiao Zhan, "Jingxing must be preserved. Give me some time to think of a countermeasure."

After all, Nan Jingxing is from the Nan family, and protecting him requires careful planning.

Xiao Zhan rubbed his temple and looked towards Xiao Yun: "The matter with Mo should be over soon."

On the battlefield, the Nan family army was in disarray and was completely helpless against the joint offensive of Lu Changfeng and Xiao Yun.

Su Ming was shocked. He originally thought that Lu Changfeng was still looking for Lu Linyi, but Xiao Yun was reported to have come alone.

Unexpectedly, the Lu family army also joined the battle.

At this moment, there was no one available around Su Ming, and even General Nan was captured by Marquis Zhenbei.

As Xiao Yun and Lu Changfeng approached, fear surged in Su Ming's heart for the first time.

"Bang!" With a noise, Su Ming was thrown in front of Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue with his hands tied behind his back.

"Prime Minister Su, have you admitted defeat?" Xiao Zhan looked coldly at Su Ming lying on the ground.

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. Your Highness Prince Gong and Princess Changle are extremely wise. You can deal with us as you please." Even so, Su Ming still maintained his family's usual pride.

"As a scholar, it seems inelegant for Prime Minister Su to talk about matters of life and death. However, Changle has old accounts to settle, and I hope Prime Minister Su can be frank with me." Jiang Xue remembered that when she was in Qian Kingdom, she had heard Wu Yungui mention Su Ming's name, and it was obvious that he had already started to plot ill deeds at that time.

Gently lifting Su Ming's chin with the tip of the sword, Jiang Xue looked him straight in the eyes and asked, "Although there were some frictions between the Queen and me, considering the brother-sister relationship between you and the Queen, why do you have such a deep hatred for me? Even to the point of using Wu Yungui to plot against me?"

All these conspiracies against Jiang Xue were planned by Su Ming, including provoking the relationship between Ying Xia and Qian Kingdom, colluding with the Red Moon Sect to lure her back to Beiling, and sending assassins along the way to take her life.

Jiang Xue was puzzled by all this. There was no direct hatred between her and Su Ming, so why did this man have such strong hostility towards her?

Looking at Jiang Xue's eyes, another woman's figure emerged in Su Ming's mind... Lu Congfang, the only woman who made his heart beat.

Jiang Xue's face, which was extremely similar to Lu Congfang, always appeared in front of him, like a sharp knife, cutting the wound in his heart again and again.

He could not forget Lu Congfang's cold rejection of him, nor could he forget the smile she showed to Jiang Xun. That was the warmth he would never be able to get.

This painful contrast caused him great torment and his self-esteem was severely trampled upon.

"What is the issue between you and my mother?" Jiang Xue's face instantly turned pale when she heard her mother's name coming from this man's mouth.

Looking at the other person's expression when he mentioned his mother, Jiang Xue's heart sank: Could it be that he also has bad thoughts about his mother?

"Su Ming, after so many years, you are still stubborn and refuse to repent." As Lu Congfang's brother, Lu Changfeng would never allow his sister to be insulted by such a person.

"Incorrigible? Haha, Lu Changfeng, have you forgotten that we were destined to be together? If you hadn't interfered and introduced her to Xiao Yunjian, allowing her to meet Jiang Xun, she would have been my wife long ago."
