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

He immediately covered his mouth with his hands, but blood still dripped from between his fingers.

"Master."

Xiao Yunjian, who had just regained consciousness, lost consciousness again, which made Jiang Xue's face change drastically and she screamed in horror.

"Yun Jian?" The empress dowager's expression instantly changed from joy to sadness. Her son's brief clarity of mind seemed to give her hope, but it was quickly replaced by despair.

Snapped!

The Queen Mother waved her hand to fend off Jiang Xue's approaching hand, with such force that the back of her hand turned red. "What on earth is going on? Didn't you say that I could wake up after taking the pill? Why is this happening?"

From full of expectations to complete disappointment, the Queen Mother's emotions fluctuated violently like a roller coaster. All her anger and sadness were now directed at Jiang Xue.

During this period of time, she had been looking forward to her son's recovery day and night. When her wish was about to come true, it turned into a bubble at the last moment. She could not accept this sudden blow and was unwilling to give up.

"Queen Mother, let me see Master, maybe something is wrong." Jiang Xue said anxiously. Time was running out, and she had to diagnose Master as soon as possible.

But the Queen Mother hugged her son tightly and pushed Jiang Xue away: "Don't come over! I won't let you touch Yun Jian again." She angrily ordered the maids to take Jiang Xue away from the scene.

"Empress Dowager, Master's condition is very urgent. We can't wait any longer." Jiang Xue shouted, regardless of etiquette, raising her voice.

"How dare you!" The Queen Mother roared, "How can Luan Yi Palace allow you to shout and yell? It seems that I have been too tolerant of you. How dare you be so rude! Come, take Princess Changle away! I will figure out how to deal with her first."

Taking into account the possibility that Jiang Xue might be related to the Beiling royal family, and Yun Che's reaction after learning of this, the angry queen dowager finally retained a trace of rationality and made such a decision.

"What's going on? Why did the Empress Dowager put Xiaoxue under house arrest?" Xiao Zhan, who had just left the court, rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing the closed door, he frowned and said, "Open the door."

The emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed. Although the Queen Mother ordered that no one be allowed in, the guards still followed Xiao Zhan's instructions and opened the door.

"Xiaoxue." As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Xue concentrating on reading a medical book.

After checking to make sure she was not injured, Xiao Zhan felt a little relieved. He walked over and pulled her up to sit down, hugged her gently, and enjoyed the fragrance on her body. "You are really calm and composed."

"The Queen Mother is just excited because of her concern for you, and considering your relationship with Master, she won't do anything excessive to me." Jiang Xue continued to study the medical classics attentively.

"Did you find anything?" He was also very worried about his father's condition. If his father's condition did not improve, the Queen Mother might continue to embarrass Jiang Xue.

"There is no mistake in the preparation of the medicine, and the dosage is accurate. I have tried the newly refined medicine myself and there is no adverse reaction. As for why Master suddenly vomited blood and fainted, I need to feel his pulse myself to find the answer."

Since there is no problem with the drug itself, the problem is most likely with the person taking it.

Jiang Xue was under house arrest in the palace, unable to get close to her master, and she was very anxious because the Queen Mother prevented her from seeing her master due to some misunderstanding.

"Then let Qu Xin try?" someone suggested. Qu Xin was also proficient in medicine, maybe she could help.

"Qu Xin went to find Qu Shang." Jiang Xue frowned when she mentioned this name. Two days ago, Qu Xin went to the posthouse and has not returned yet, which made Jiang Xue very worried.

"What does she want to do with Qu Shang?" Xiao Zhan asked in confusion. Aren't they old enemies?

After some consideration, Jiang Xue told Xiao Zhan what Qu Shang had said before. "Zhenbei Hou is actually in Qu Shang's hands." Xiao Zhan was shocked after hearing this.

The people from Linglong Pavilion searched the entire capital but never expected it to be the posthouse - a place where people usually come and go. They thought the royal family would not miss anything unusual, but this place became a blind spot.

"As the saying goes, it's darkest under the lamp. Sometimes the most dangerous place is the safest. There are many people from various countries in the post house, and they rarely interfere in the affairs of other countries, so hiding my uncle among them is a clever move."

Jiang Xue explained, "I did not agree to Qu Shang's request, but Qu Xin took the initiative to ask to get close to him to find out the whereabouts of my uncle. But now she has no news, and even the people sent out have not seen her."

Despite Qu Xin's usually quick wit, Jiang Xue felt uneasy, as if something ominous was about to happen.

"If you are worried, I can send people to look for him and try to rescue the Marquis of Zhenbei." Xiao Zhan comforted him, "At the same time, I will ask my grandmother to allow you to treat my father."

In the following days, although Jiang Xue was restricted in her movements, she actually stayed in the room voluntarily in order not to embarrass Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan had already sent people to investigate about Qu Xin and learned that she did enter the inn, but then disappeared.

It was reported that noise was heard in the room where she lived. When everyone went in to check, they saw the window was wide open and the person was gone.

At this moment, Qu Shang is looking for Qu Xin because he lost him, and the whereabouts of Zhenbei Hou are still unknown. "Now that he has the card of my uncle, Qu Shang will certainly not let it go easily." Jiang Xue thought to herself, which was one of the reasons why she refused to hand Qu Xin over to him.

Listening to the latest news, Jiang Xue paused for a moment. At this moment, she was more concerned about Qu Xin's fate than her uncle's safety.

Uncle still has some use for Qu Shang, so he is safe for the time being. But Qu Xin's situation is completely different. Qu Shang hates her to the core and wants to get rid of her immediately. Now Qu Xin's whereabouts are unknown and she is pregnant. If she is caught by Qu Shang, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Princess, there is new news." Just as Jiang Xue was worried, a spy walked into the house and reported: "Miss Qu was taken away by a cultivator."

Jiang Xue stopped writing: "A cultivator?"

Her eyebrows slightly raised, thinking of the Qingxu Sect that Qu Xin had mentioned, and asked, "Is it someone from the Qingxu Sect?"

Qu Xin had escaped from the Qingxu Sect. If he was caught by them again...

Oh, this girl is really in trouble.

"It's not certain yet, but judging from the Taoist's attitude towards Miss Qu, he seems to have no ill intentions." The spy replied.

"Continue monitoring and take action if necessary." Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "Take Qiu Qianhuan with you."

"It's really troublesome one after another..." Looking at the words stained by ink spots on the paper, Jiang Xue sighed lightly.

Walking to the door and looking at the sky, she was worried about the unresolved issues with her master and anxious about Qu Xin's safety.

Xiao Zhan hugged Jiang Xue tightly, using his solid body to build a barrier for her. At this moment, a tall figure stood in front of them and protected them from Li Yi's fatal blow.
