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

Upon hearing this, Concubine Cheng was extremely flustered and tried to refute but didn't know where to start.

Qu Xin continued, "You all know, ladies and gentlemen, that talking about others behind their backs is a crime of great disrespect, right?" She looked around, and the concubines all bowed their heads in silence, knowing in their hearts that what Qu Xin said was true.

In this scene, everyone's thoughts were revealed and the air was filled with tension and anxiety.

A flower banquet is being held in the palace today, and the concubines all want to take this opportunity to win the Queen Mother's favor, fearing that any carelessness would ruin their plans.

As for Concubine Cheng, no one cared about her existence. It was always better to have one less competitor in the harem.

"This sister is right." One of the concubines echoed Qu Xin and said, "It is better not to let the Queen Mother hear what Concubine Cheng just said, so as not to pollute the Holy Court."

The Queen Mother's gaze became colder and colder. Her eyes moved from the concubine to Qu Xin, and finally fixed on the concubine who bowed her head and said nothing: "You, what did you say?"

Her words were like a cold wind, instantly bringing the atmosphere of the banquet to freezing point.

Although Xianyu was not raised by her personally, Yun Che doted on her, which made the Queen Mother care more about her granddaughter.

After all, blood is thicker than water, and after going through so many twists and turns, the Queen Mother loved her even more. She would never allow anyone to hurt this child who had already suffered so much.

"Queen Dowager, I think what Sister Jin said is absolutely right. It seems that what Concubine Cheng said earlier was quite hurtful. If I ask her to repeat it, it will not only defile your ears, but also hurt Princess Nine's heart again. It is really inappropriate."

Concubine Feng approached the Queen Mother, smiled gently at the Ninth Princess, and then whispered in the Queen Mother's ear, "Queen Mother, Concubine Cheng insulted the Ninth Princess. We can deal with it later. Today's focus is on the woman from the Five Poison Sect.

It is said that she has ill intentions towards His Highness Yun Jian, and now she has bewitched Princess Chang Le. If she is not removed soon, it may lead to disaster. "

Following Concubine Feng's words, the empress dowager turned her gaze to Qu Xin. She was smiling at Jiang Xue with her head tilted to the side. The look in her eyes was seductive in the eyes of the empress dowager's eyes.

Thinking back to everything Concubine Feng said last night, the Queen Mother felt even more disgusted with Qu Xin.

"I heard that Qu Xin is the guardian of the Five Poison Sect. Queen Mother, you know how many crimes the Five Poison Sect has committed over the years. Everyone knows it. Although they claimed to have retired for many years, the people in the sect are still restless.

These people are good at making poisons, and my father once told me that His Highness Yun Jian had an encounter with the High Priest Qu Ruchen of the Five Poison Sect, and that the High Priest had pursued him back then. Perhaps His Highness Yun Jian's coma was caused by the poison of the Five Poison Sect!"

Concubine Feng's words echoed repeatedly in the Queen Mother's mind. She clenched her hands tighter and tighter, and felt more and more that Concubine Cheng's point of view was correct.

Thinking back carefully, there was indeed a woman from the Five Poisons Sect living in Yun Jian Mansion. She held a very high status and was most likely the high priest Qu Ruchen.

She had been in the mansion for a whole year, and it was hard to believe that she had no feelings for him.

"You're right." The Queen Mother nodded and then signaled to Mo Yan. As a personal maid for many years, Mo Yan immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant. Soon, several maids came forward and took Concubine Cheng away from the scene.

Jiang Xue saw all of this, especially the hostile look the Queen Mother cast at Qu Xin.

My heart suddenly tightened, and I turned to look at Concubine Feng, my lips tightly pursed. She must have said something to the Queen Mother just now, which made the Queen Mother's eyes become more fierce, as if she wanted to kill Qu Xin.

"Changle, please sit down first, the flower banquet is about to begin."

The Queen Mother turned to Jiang Xue, her eyes full of tenderness. Jiang Xue nodded and sat back in her seat as she was told.

"Be careful, the Queen Mother doesn't look right."

As soon as she sat down, she lowered her voice to remind Qu Xin.

"It seems someone wants to kill people to silence them."

Qu Xin saw the murderous look in Concubine Feng's eyes, but she just smiled gently. That smile was so beautiful and fascinating that even the maids blushed and their hearts beat fast.

Her charm was truly unmatched; even the maid who was pouring the wine was shaking slightly. When she got close to Qu Xin, her heartbeat quickened, almost jumping out of her chest.

Although they are all women, Qu Xin from Qian Country is more attractive than any man.

"Don't attract attention everywhere."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xue helplessly covered her face with her hands, and covered Qu Xin's eyes with the other hand to prevent her from continuing to affect the maid.

Doesn't this girl understand the danger she is in now? This flower banquet is actually a Hongmen Banquet aimed at her, but she doesn't care at all and is teasing the innocent maid.

As expected of him being the infamous little devil, even though he has lived two lives as a human, Jiang Xue only feels helpless when facing Qu Xin.

"Isn't it because I'm too charming?"

Qu Xin smiled and moved Jiang Xue's hand away, looking straight into her eyes. A blood-red magatama could be seen faintly in her pupils.

"Soul-snatching technique..."

Sensing the change, Jiang Xue frowned and immediately placed her fingertips on Qu Xin's forehead, blocking her ability to perform pupil techniques.

"You're making a big deal out of nothing." Qu Xin's face darkened and he seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Using soul-snatching magic can harm your body. You are pregnant now, so you can't use such power. I am doing this for the good of your baby."

Jiang Xue retracted her fingers and looked at the wine glass in front of her. She took out a pill from her lapel and handed it to Qu Xin.

Qu Xin's brows, which were originally furrowed with dissatisfaction, gradually relaxed. After hearing Jiang Xue's good intentions, her expression also brightened.

"That's better, but you are also aware of my current situation. If I don't make some preparations, I will probably be in trouble soon." Qu Xin took the pill, first sniffed it lightly under his nose, and then swallowed it without hesitation.

Although she felt somewhat unwilling, she had to admit that Jiang Xue was indeed more skilled in alchemy.

"Don't worry, I will make sure you are safe." Jiang Xue said firmly.

This sentence made Qu Xin smile again: "It really makes me feel warm."

At this time, the Queen Mother raised the wine glass in her hand and announced: "It is rare for all the concubines to gather together today. I am very happy." Following the Queen Mother's actions, the concubines around her stood up and responded.

Just as everyone was raising their glasses, someone noticed that Lu Linyi was not holding a glass of wine in his hand.

"Ms. Lu, don't you want to drink?" an unidentified lady asked curiously.

"I don't drink." Lu Linyi answered calmly. For her, not drinking a drop of alcohol is normal.

But someone immediately started the conversation: "Even if you can't drink, you shouldn't refuse the Queen Mother's kindness, right?"

Just when the atmosphere became tense, the Ninth Princess stepped forward to help Lu Linyi out: "Grandmother Royal understands Linyi's situation. She really can't touch any alcohol."

But the other party did not intend to give up: "Even so, on such an important occasion, it is always right to give the Queen Mother some face, right? What's more..."
