Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 662: Kneeling in Apology
Chief Feng clenched his fists. His plan failed. Not only did he fail to remove Jiang Xue, the obstacle, but his own daughter became a victim. Helplessly, he could only speak: "I, the old minister, wrongly accused Princess Changle because I didn't know the truth. Please forgive me for my disrespect to the princess."
Jin Ming immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake, but Patriarch Feng hesitated for a moment before slowly kneeling down and kowtowed to Jiang Xue to apologize.
Later, in the palace, Qu Xin heard about this and sneered: "He just bowed like that and that's it? If it were me, I would definitely let him have a taste of my power."
Jiang Xue responded calmly: "He did not commit any crime directly. If I take action against him, it will only give others an excuse to attack me." After saying that, she took a sip of tea to relieve the dryness in her throat.
"The rules in the palace are so complicated, not as free as our Five Poison Sect." Qu Xin sighed.
She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, and imagined with tenderness what the baby inside her belly would look like. Would it look more like that silly father, or more like herself?
"Speaking of the Five Poisons Sect, Qu Shang came to see me." Jiang Xue put down the teacup in her hand and said seriously.
When Qu Shang's name was mentioned, Qu Xin's eyes instantly turned cold. "What did he tell you?"
"He said that the Five Poisons Sect no longer exists." Jiang Xue said slowly.
Qu Xin was silent for a moment and then asked: "Shouldn't you explain it to me? Why is this happening?"
Jiang Xue stared at Qu Xin. She had fallen asleep when she wanted to ask last time. This time she was determined to hear it clearly. "If I say I only have a vague understanding, would you believe me?"
Qu Xin smiled helplessly. If she knew what happened, why would she be standing here asking for help?
"When Yinglong's power erupted, Qu Ruchen brought the entire Five Poisons Sect to help you. Didn't you see anyone?" Jiang Xue noticed something was wrong.
"No, I didn't see anyone when I escaped from Qingxu Sect." Qu Xin shook her head. Later, she returned to Wudu Sect, but found that there was no one there, and only the echo in the valley.
"Except for Qu Shang, no one can freely pass through the miasma of the Five Poisons."
Qu Xin frowned, "Besides coming here hoping that you can protect my child, I also want to use the power of Linglong Pavilion to find Qu Shang. I knew since I was a child that he had bad intentions towards Master.
If it was his doing, then even if he killed everyone, he would never hurt the master. The most likely thing is that he hid the master. As long as we can find him, we can find the master. "
"I think Qu Shang mentioned the matter of the Five Poisons because he wanted to find me through you." Qu Xin continued.
"How can you be so sure?" Jiang Xue asked.
"After all, I was once the guardian of the Five Poisons, so I do have some insight." Qu Xin smiled bitterly, "Let me go find him, so that I can help you get the Zhenbei Marquis back."
Jiang Xue fell silent. She had never thought of letting the pregnant Qu Xin take risks, not to mention that Qu Shang hated her to the core, so doing so would undoubtedly be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
"Don't worry about me." Qu Xin sensed the other party's concerns and felt a warm feeling in his heart. "We have been in opposition for so many years, but I have never lost. Now I still have the power of Yinglong to protect myself. If he wants to touch me, he will have to think twice."
"But what if he threatens you with your child? Have you forgotten that he once cut open a pregnant woman's belly with his own hands and burned her unborn child alive in front of everyone?" Recalling that horrific history still makes people shudder.
Qu Xin said softly, his eyes gently falling on her slightly bulging belly: "This child is a descendant of the Qingxu Sect. Qu Shang would not dare to offend them."
Jiang Xue followed her gaze towards her round belly. Although she had some doubts in her mind, seeing Qu Xin's determined expression, she did not ask any further questions.
In this case, Jiang Xue thought, if this girl doesn't want to talk, she won't be able to get anything out of her even if she tries every possible means. So she said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will send someone to the posthouse to report it."
As soon as the voice fell, a black shadow jumped down from the roof and quickly disappeared after receiving Jiang Xue's order. At the same time, she also arranged several secret guards to quietly follow Qu Xin to ensure her safety.
"Oh, there's something else I want to tell you. Today, when I was walking in the palace, I saw a strange man appearing in a place where he shouldn't be - near Concubine Feng's palace. Do you know anything?"
Qu Xin recalled the scene she saw by chance that day, and the man's face was still clear in her mind. She had received guidance from a master, and now the portraits she painted can be lifelike.
Hearing this, Jiang Xue took the portrait drawn by Qu Xin and frowned. "Chu Feimo..." she whispered.
At the same time, in an inn in Yujing, Chu Feimo was enjoying a hot bath. He asked the spy, "What's the latest news from Xiyong?"
Chu Feimo leaned on the edge of the bathtub, thinking a lot. He knew that if he couldn't do something this time, his position would be in jeopardy. Thinking of this, he clenched his fists involuntarily.
"Your Highness, Prince Ming has not returned home every night recently, but has gone to a villa in the east of the city. We tried to get close to there, but it was heavily guarded and we couldn't get in." The spy reported.
"Oh? The East City Villa." Chu Feimo narrowed his eyes, remembering something. Then he raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that someone has to know about this. Go and inform Miss Fang and ask her to take good care of her husband."
Chu Feimo seemed to have foreseen the outcome of the impending turmoil, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
At this time, the spy brought another piece of news: "Empress Feng has been imprisoned in the inner court. Do we need to take any action?"
"A woman who only causes trouble for herself is not worth saving." Chu Feimo replied coldly, "Let her reap what she sows."
"Yes, sir." The spy responded and left.
Finally, Chu Feimo added: "Also, I haven't seen Qu Shang in the past few days. Send someone to call him to see me."
The spy left in a hurry after receiving the order. In the palace, Jiang Xue came to Xiao Yunjian's room early, holding on to time. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the queen mother sitting by the bed, her face full of worry.
Today is a special day - the elixir has finally been refined, and this also means that Xiao Yunjian is about to wake up.
Jiang Xue carefully fed the pill to Xiao Yunjian and gently stimulated his acupuncture points with a gold needle to help the medicine take effect faster. Soon, Xiao Yunjian's eyes began to move and his fingers also made subtle movements.
"Your Highness has woken up." The maid shouted excitedly upon seeing this.
"Master."
"Yun Jian."
Jiang Xue and the Queen Mother's faces were filled with joy. Xiao Yunjian opened his eyes, his vision was blurry at first, and his head was still a little dizzy.
But gradually, everything became clear. When he saw Jiang Xue's tearful eyes, he tried to raise his hand to touch her cheek. But at that moment, a bloody smell suddenly surged from his throat.
