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

"Interesting. I heard that Beiling has always valued filial piety, and the rumor is that Princess Changle and His Majesty are... Could it be that Beiling has changed the rules now and allowed such a thing to happen?"

Chu Feimo's words were as sharp as a knife, hitting the nail on the head.

Xiao Yun felt his throat tighten. He knew that if the Marquis of Zhenbei was forced to confess, it might prove that Princess Changle was related to him.

But whether this is true or not is not important to Chu Feimo. What he wants is to control Princess Changle and the power behind her.

With Jiang Xue, Chu Feimo can not only contain Xiao Zhan, but also make Jiang Chen of Qian Kingdom surrender. In this way, the Tieyun Army will be within easy reach.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to revoke your order and allow the princess to go to Xiyong for marriage."

The nobles knelt down one after another, thinking in their hearts how to take the opportunity to get rid of the woman who was hindering their daughters' promotion.

Seeing this, other officials also believed that morality should be observed, so they followed the nobles and requested that Jiang Xue be married to Xiyong to maintain peace.

For Beiling, Xiyong is a powerful force. If war can be avoided through marriage, sacrificing one person in exchange for stability seems worth it.

At this moment, a crisp sound broke the tense atmosphere. The porcelain bowl in Jiang Xue's hand accidentally fell, and the fragments scattered all over the ground. Looking at the fragments on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the medicine had been fed.

The maids quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor. Jiang Xue held the golden needle in her hand and carefully gave Xiao Zhan acupuncture.

"Princess." Outside the door, Fudong approached worriedly.

Noticing that her expression was not right, Jiang Xue asked, "What happened?"

"His Royal Highness Prince An and the ministers had an argument." Fu Dong paused and continued.

Jiang Xue looked up at the sky. It was still morning court time, and the dispute had started so early, which obviously meant that the situation was serious.

"Do you know what the reason is?" She asked as she inserted the needle into the next acupuncture point accurately. As the treatment continued, Xiao Zhan's face gradually regained some color.

Fu Dong was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Prince Xiyong wants you to go to marry."

Jiang Xue's fingers trembled slightly when she heard the news, but soon stabilized. This was not beyond her expectations.

From the moment she glanced at Chu Feimo at the altar, she knew what he was planning.

Now that her master had passed away, the only person who could prove her and Yun Che's innocence was gone. The previous rumors just gave Chu Feimo an opportunity to attack.

After the death of her son, the Queen Mother was immersed in grief and almost cut off contact with the outside world, which made Jiang Xue lose strong support.

Naturally, those nobles and officials would not allow a woman who might have royal blood to become the Queen of Beiling, so they stood on Chu Feimo's side.

"All right." After finishing the last needle, Jiang Xue looked at Xiao Zhan's face which was slightly better, and thought quietly for a while. Then she put away the golden needle, stood up and said to Fu Dong: "Please ask Doctor Li to take care of Xiao Zhan."

Suddenly, she felt dizzy and her vision became blurry. Fortunately, Fu Dong supported her in time. "Princess, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" Fu Dong asked with concern.

Jiang Xue shook her head gently and pressed her temple with her slender fingers: "I'm just a little dizzy, maybe I got up too quickly. Don't worry, go and ask Doctor Li to come."

After Fu Dong left, Jiang Xue felt dizzy and had to sit down slowly with the help of the table. After a while, she felt a little better. The fatigue of these days obviously made her body a little bit tired.

She held her head up, thinking that her discomfort was probably due to overwork.

Soon, Doctor Li came with Fu Dong. Seeing that Jiang Xue looked unhappy, he was about to ask, but she spoke first:

“Doctor Li, please take care of Yun Che. I have to go to Xuchen Palace.” Without waiting for Doctor Li’s response, she left in a hurry.

Doctor Li looked at her retreating figure and was silent for a moment. After all, Princess Changle was also an expert in medicine and should be well aware of her condition. He then turned and went into the inner room to concentrate on taking care of Xiao Zhan.

In the Xuchen Palace, the court officials were arguing endlessly, and Xiao Yun was fed up with it, so he waved his hand to end the morning court session. When he returned to the back hall, he saw Jiang Xue standing straight, waiting for him.

"Fourth sister-in-law, why are you here?" Xiao Yun took off his mask and asked.

"I heard there was some movement in the front hall, so I came to take a look." Jiang Xue replied.

Xiao Yun's eyes darkened, knowing that she had understood the situation. "Those officials actually proposed that you go to Xiyong for marriage. Don't worry, I will never agree to it," he said.

"Your Highness Prince An, I am here to ask for a favor." Jiang Xue said with a smile, and she saw sincerity in his eyes.

"Fourth sister-in-law, please tell me if you need anything. I can do it." Xiao Yun promised.

"I hope to meet with Prince Xiyong in private." Jiang Xue said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Prince Xiyong showed a surprised expression: "I didn't expect Princess Changle to be willing to meet me alone. I thought you would avoid me."

In the private room of Tingfeng Tower, Chu Feimo was sitting and waiting. When he saw Jiang Xue walk in dressed in men's clothes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "I have always known that the princess is beautiful when she wears women's clothes, but I didn't expect that this men's clothes are so unique."

She was wearing a crescent-colored robe with a wide belt around her waist, outlining her slender waist. Chu Feimo couldn't help but want to go forward and hug her.

"Prince Xiyong." Jiang Xue noticed Chu Feimo's gaze. Although she felt some resistance in her heart, she remained calm on the surface.

She bent her legs and sat opposite him, looking at him firmly: "I came here today to discuss something with you."

"Please speak, I'm all ears." Chu Feimo put on a respectful attitude with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

This woman was different, new to him. Even at this close, her features were flawless, like a carefully crafted work of art.

"I heard that you specifically requested Princess Changle to marry you?" She said this calmly, not asking a question, but stating a fact.

"That's right. Princess Changle is of noble status and has deep ties with Beiling and Qian Kingdom. She is my ideal candidate." Chu Feimo rested his elbows on the table, his chin resting on the backs of his folded hands, and his smile deepened.

"Could you please take back your decision? There are many women in Beiling. Why should you seize the one you love and become the one who breaks up a couple?" Jiang Xue ignored Chu Feimo's gaze and made the request directly.

"Break up a couple? Are you referring to you and Xiao Zhan?"

Chu Feimo's eyes flashed with coldness, and he tilted his head slightly, revealing a chilling smile. "How is King Beiling now?"
