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

"Looking at your expression, I'm sure you've witnessed something you shouldn't have. You must be very nervous, afraid that the matter would be leaked."

Jiang Xue said calmly: "But you have to understand that there is no eternal secret in the world. Even if no one knows that you are a witness now, you may not be safe in the future. For your safety, it is best to tell me what you saw and heard, and I will ensure your safety."

These words shook Eunuch Liu's heart. He took a deep breath and finally spoke: "When I passed by Concubine Feng's bedroom last night, I heard some strange noises and thought that the maids were doing something romantic.

After all, in this lonely palace, everyone longs for a companion. "

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept to the handsome guard beside him. After receiving a comforting smile from the other party, he continued: "I thought Concubine Feng would be angry, so I planned to remind her, but I saw..."

Eunuch Liu still feels frightened when recalling that scene.

Several eunuchs were surrounding a cold female corpse and molesting her. The woman's throat was pierced by a knife and her eyes were wide open as if she was accusing something.

"The scene was so horrible! I was so scared that my legs went weak and I ran away quickly."

"It's the same cause of death as Concubine Jin." Fu Dong analyzed.

"No, it's not Concubine Jin. Although I don't remember the woman's name, she has appeared in both Concubine Feng and Concubine Jin's places," Eunuch Liu added.

"Where was the body found?"

"It's behind a rockery outside Concubine Feng's bedroom. But I'm afraid it has been moved away."

"Even so, there will always be clues left." Jiang Xue stood up decisively, "Let's go check it out now."

On the other side, in Concubine Feng's room, a woman just woke up from the bed, with a handsome man lying next to her. Recalling last night, a shy smile appeared on her face.

When she tried to kiss him, she was pushed away coldly. "I don't like disobedient women." Chu Feimo had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Princess Feng felt a chill on her back and couldn't help but shiver.

"Your Highness..." She looked at Chu Feimo nervously, feeling uneasy, afraid that he would be angry with her.

Looking back now, my action of secretly kissing Chu Feimo while he was sleeping seemed so rash.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not some ferocious beast. I won't hurt you."

Chu Feimo's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible scorn, and he gently pinched her chin with his slender fingers, saying gently but with a warning: "Don't do this again next time, understand?"

If she had not been of any use to him, her cleverness alone would have been enough for him to deal with her on the spot.

"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing that Chu Feimo didn't seem to be angry, Concubine Feng felt a little relieved.

"You handled the matter of Concubine Jin very well. You should be clear about the next steps, right?" Chu Feimo said as he quickly put his clothes in order and asked without even turning his head.

"I understand. I will definitely not let Your Highness down." Concubine Feng replied, with a hint of regret in her eyes. The time they spent together was too short, and they didn't even get to enjoy a moment of warmth.

"Jiang Xue should have learned about the news from the front hall. Have the people you sent out cleared up all the traces?"

"Everything has been properly resolved and will never arouse Jiang Xue's suspicion." Concubine Feng replied.

"Very good. That woman is very meticulous and any clue may make her notice something unusual. There cannot be any mistakes before the matter is completely completed." Chu Feimo emphasized.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing Chu Feimo walking away with his back to her, Concubine Feng felt very reluctant to let him go. She put on her coat, walked behind him and gently grabbed his clothes.

"Huh? Is there anything else?" Chu Feimo glanced at the wrinkled corner of his clothes, looking impatient.

"Your Highness once said that he would take me back to Xiyong after the matter was accomplished. I wonder if you still remember this promise?" Concubine Feng looked at Chu Feimo expectantly.

Chu Feimo sneered in his heart. It was just a love talk, but she actually took it seriously. How could a woman of such a humble status follow him back to Xiyong?

But on the surface, he still kept smiling, "Of course I remember." After all, he still needed Concubine Feng's help, and it was not appropriate to turn against her at this time.

Chu Feimo lied again, it was just a common occurrence for him.

"Really?" After hearing this, Concubine Feng was secretly delighted, with a gleam of joy in her eyes.

"As long as you listen to me, I will do what I promised you." Chu Feimo said, gently pulling back a corner of cloth that Feng Fei was holding tightly in her hand, and calmly wiped the place she had just touched, as if it was stained with something unclean.

At this time, a guard hidden in the dark landed silently beside Chu Feimo and whispered, "Your Highness, Princess Changle has arrived."

Chu Feimo smiled slightly: "What is coming will eventually come. Madam Feng Fei, please remember that I want a living person, don't hurt her without authorization. She is the future Crown Princess of Xiyong. If she is hurt in the slightest, I will not let you go easily."

After saying this, he strode out of Concubine Feng's bedroom.

"Go tell father that in half an hour, unite all the nobles to put pressure on the emperor and make sure Jiang Xue is killed." Chu Feimo's words pierced Concubine Feng's heart like a knife. Why? Why did the people she loved protect that woman!

Whether it was Xiao Zhan in the past or Chu Feimo now, it was the same! She felt extremely angry.

"No, I must make Jiang Xue pay the price." Concubine Feng said gritting her teeth.

A maid cautiously reminded: "But, Prince Xiyong just said that Princess Changle must not be harmed..."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped by Concubine Feng, feeling dizzy, and then kicked to the ground.

"Who is the master here? How can you question my orders? Execute them immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Concubine Feng shouted angrily.

On the other side, Jiang Xue and her two followers came to the place where Eunuch Liu was frightened last night. The traces left on the grass were obvious, blood-stained and not cleaned up; the soil was very soft and would leave deep footprints if stepped on.

The bloody smell in the air was nauseating. Jiang Xue covered her nose and frowned. Fu Dong squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, but found that it was still wet. It fell apart with a slight squeeze, revealing blood stains all over his hands.

"Princess." Fu Dong called softly, his eyes turned to Jiang Xue with a heavy expression on his face.

"There must be a body hidden here." A chill crept up his spine.

Jiang Xue looked around and felt unusually quiet. This was Concubine Feng's courtyard, but since they entered, they hadn't seen a single person.

There were no guards at the door, not even a maid to inform, as if everything was waiting for their arrival.
