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

Jiang Xue had no sympathy for Xie Qi's tragic ending.

"You're responsible for the consequences of your own actions." She said calmly.

Then Xiao Zhan closed the letter and threw it into the fire until it turned to ashes.

"You came so early. Have you arranged everything for father?" Jiang Xue would go to Luanyi Palace every morning to take care of Xiao Yunjian.

A month was about to pass, but Xiao Yunjian still showed no signs of waking up, which made Jiang Xue worried.

She had tried all the methods in the medical books, but there was no progress. This made Jiang Xue feel unprecedented frustration. This was the most difficult moment in her medical studies.

"Master's condition has not improved, and the Queen Mother's surveillance of me has become increasingly tight. Every time I mentioned coming to see you, she always looked as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant. Seeing her so worried, I feel bad too." Jiang Xue whispered in Xiao Zhan's arms.

Recently, due to the relationship with Marquis Yong'an, the court officials' criticism of her and Xiao Zhan has decreased, but the pressure from the empress dowager has increased.

Those officials knew that Xiao Zhan would not pay attention to their gossip, so they began to influence the empress dowager's mood.

If it was someone else, Jiang Xue might not care, but the other party was the Queen Mother... Not only was she the Master's mother, she was also Yun Che's grandmother, and possibly even her relative.

At first, the Queen Mother only reminded her not to disturb Yun Che too often when he was handling state affairs.

Gradually, the Queen Mother began to look for a marriage partner for her, constantly introducing them to noblemen or court ministers, hoping that she could get married as soon as possible.

This made Jiang Xue both distressed and exhausted.

Today, the Queen Mother once again mentioned a new court official, Lin Wenxing, who had just returned from Yunzhou.

Jiang Xue felt very uncomfortable, but didn't want to reject the Queen Mother's proposal in person, so she found an excuse and hurried to Xiao Zhan to seek comfort.

"If Master doesn't wake up soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the Queen Mother's urging." Jiang Xue frowned and sighed.

She thought that as long as her master woke up, the Queen Mother's attention would be diverted.

Xiao Zhan pulled her to sit on his lap, held her hand and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to go to Luan Yi Palace anymore."

He knew about the Empress Dowager's recent actions, and Tieyi had reported them to him.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Feng requests to see you. She said she has a way to wake up His Highness Yun Jian." At this time, Tieyi walked in to report.

Concubine Feng? Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan looked at each other, puzzled.

"Is it that Madam Feng?" A picture quickly flashed through Jiang Xue's mind: in Prince Gong's Mansion, the arrogant Madam Feng was punished by her to live next to the stable.

"That should be it." Xiao Zhan said calmly. He didn't care about the concubines in the harem. Their existence was just to check the powerful, and it didn't matter who was who.

"But I remember that Madam Feng doesn't know any medical skills. How can she wake the master up?" Jiang Xue frowned, full of suspicion.

"Listen first and let her in." Xiao Zhan waved his hand, signaling Tieyi to lead people into the hall.

"Your Majesty, your servant pays respects to you." Under the guidance of Tieyi, Concubine Feng stepped into the imperial study. This was the first time she had seen Xiao Zhan since entering the palace.

Facing the emperor sitting on the dragon throne and Jiang Xue beside him, Concubine Feng was burning with jealousy.

Why did that woman come back again? She had been declared dead, but she still dared to appear here.

Thinking of the days when she was forced to live next to the stable and endure the stench all day long, Concubine Feng gritted her teeth and vowed revenge.

"I heard that you have a way to wake up father?" Xiao Zhan still buried his head in the memorial in his hand, while his other hand gently held Jiang Xue's hand.

"That's true." Concubine Feng nodded and replied, "I know a doctor with excellent medical skills. He said that maybe he can try to treat it."

"Who is this person?" Jiang Xue asked with a questioning look.

With her outstanding medical skills, few people in the entire Ten Kingdoms can match her except her master and a few others. If such a master really existed, she would not be completely ignorant of it.

Faced with questioning, Princess Feng chose to remain silent.

Why did this woman, who didn't even have an official title, ask her such a direct question?

"Go ahead." Xiao Zhan noticed her disrespect for Jiang Xue, put down the memorial in his hand, and looked at her straight in the eye for the first time. There was no longer the gentleness in his eyes when he was facing Jiang Xue.

Concubine Feng explained, "The expert didn't reveal her name, she just said her method would definitely work. After His Highness Yun Jian wakes up, it won't be too late for the Emperor to see her if he wants to."

The woman insisted on not telling her name, but seemed to know Jiang Xue very well, which made Concubine Feng pay special attention to her.

Judging from the accent, the person was from Qian Kingdom. Concubine Feng couldn't help but wonder, could she be Jiang Xue's enemy in Qian Kingdom?

If that's the case, maybe she can be used to deal with Jiang Xue.

"How can I trust him if he doesn't even want to tell me his name?" Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhan, "I'm afraid this is a scam."

After a moment's silence, Xiao Zhan thought about the increasing pressure that the Queen Mother was putting on Xiaoxue. It would be good if he could wake his father up soon.

Since Concubine Feng came forward to guarantee it personally, she must have some knowledge of this person. The Feng family is quite influential among the nobles, and if they can get them to agree to guarantee it, this person must have some real talent and knowledge.

We might as well give her a chance and try. In case she can really help her father regain consciousness, it can also relieve Xiaoxue's pressure.

More importantly, only when his father wakes up can he know for sure whether he and Xiaoxue are from the same root, so that he can better plan for the future.

"If you supervise from the side, that person won't dare to act rashly." After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhan gently patted the back of Jiang Xue's hand, "You have worked hard for a long time, maybe you will gain something if you change your thinking. If you are worried, how about accompanying him throughout the process?"

Seeing that Jiang Xue was still hesitant, Xiao Zhan approached her and whispered, "This is all for the speedy recovery of father."

This sentence touched Jiang Xue's heart. Indeed, she also hoped that her master would wake up as soon as possible. Well, as Xiao Zhan said, she would monitor from the side, and if there was any unusual movement, she would definitely not show mercy!

Finally, Jiang Xue nodded in agreement.

Although Concubine Feng couldn't hear clearly what the two were talking about, she was filled with jealousy when she saw how intimate they were.

After waiting for a long time for Prince Gong to ascend the throne, she became a concubine. The family had high hopes for her, expecting her to gain the emperor's favor and even give birth to a prince to consolidate her position.

However, since Jiang Xue entered the palace, she has almost monopolized all of the emperor's attention.

Not only that, this woman has also caused countless disturbances. Now, there are even rumors that the emperor intends to make her the queen.

When everyone in the harem learned the news, they were furious and vowed to stop Jiang Xue from succeeding.

Concubine Feng was immersed in her plan to deal with Jiang Xue, but her thoughts were interrupted by Xiao Zhan's voice.

"Bring him in and let him have a try. But remember, all actions will be carried out under the eyes of me and Xiaoxue. You go and tell him to abide by the rules and not to have any crooked ideas. Do you understand?"
