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

Just as this warmth continued, a chilly wind blew by, breaking the tranquility of the night.

A dark shadow quickly flashed past the window. Xiao Zhan immediately became alert and drew out the long sword placed beside the bed!

Following a crisp sound of metal collision, "clang." A cold light flashed in the night.

Blades flashed and sparks flew. In the night, a masked man in black exuded a cold murderous aura. When his eyes fell on Jiang Xue in Xiao Zhan's arms, the smell of blood seemed to become even stronger.

Xiao Zhan swung his sword like a dragon, slashing horizontally, slashing upwards, and dropping straight down. His movements were smooth and swift, as if he was several times faster than usual. He carefully controlled his movements, fearing that he would wake up the beauty in his arms.

However, this uninvited guest obviously had a clear target on Jiang Xue, and every blow was an attempt to penetrate her defense circle.

"Ding." The sound of metal clashing rang out again. At this moment, Xiao Zhan skillfully turned his wrist, allowing the tip of the sword to reflect the moonlight directly into the opponent's eyes.

The sudden light blinds the opponent temporarily, which is the best time to counterattack!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Zhan quickly attacked and stabbed the opponent's heart with a sword. As the sword sank into the opponent's heart, blood gushed out, staining the man's black cloth mask red.

The intense pain made him loosen the weapon in his hand, and the blade flipped and stabbed into the ground, barely supporting his shaky body. Blood dripped along the edge of the mask, which was particularly conspicuous in the silent night.

Before the man could recover, Xiao Zhan had already quickly drawn his sword and attacked again. This attack came without warning, catching the opponent off guard.

In order to avoid the fatal blow, the man in black could only retreat quickly, but he was a step too slow. Not only was his mask cut, but he also had a deep wound on his cheek.

"Damn it..." He was secretly annoyed in his heart. It turned out that even though he was injured, Xiao Zhan's strength was still not to be underestimated.

Fang Jing realized that continuing the fight would be disadvantageous to him, especially if the noise was too loud and attracted the palace guards, then he would really have no way to escape.

Finally, he glared at Jiang Xue, who was still lying safely in Xiao Zhan's arms, then turned and disappeared into the night.

Forget it, let this woman go today, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future! Without saying a word, he jumped out of the window.

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back - the tip of Xiao Zhan's knife had pierced his vest. The pain made him freeze instantly. "Who?" he asked in surprise.

Qing Feng was on patrol tonight. He saw a dark shadow flying quickly past Xuchen Palace. He became alert and immediately chased after it.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Fang Jin had already disappeared without a trace. "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Qing Feng asked, and sent his men to track down Fang Jing's whereabouts, while he quickly entered the hall to check on Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue.

Seeing the blood-stained sword in Xiao Zhan's hand, Qing Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Zhan: "I have failed in my duty, please punish me, Your Highness."

"Hush..." Xiao Zhan stopped him softly, put down his sword, and signaled Qing Feng to speak softly so as not to disturb Jiang Xue who was resting. "Don't worry, this blood is not mine."

As he spoke, he looked at the bloodstains on the sword, and remembered the way the man in black was staring at Xiaoxue, and his expression became serious: "Remember the appearance of the person who was hit by the plum blossom dart, and make sure to find him out, and show no mercy."

On the other side, Chu Feimo was sorting out his clothes. He looked at Mo Xue, who was lying on the bed with almost nothing on, and asked in confusion, "Why hasn't Fang Jing come back yet?"

"Oh, him. He asked me to contact an old friend and asked him for advice on something. As for the result, I'm not sure." Mo Xue turned over, shaking her legs gently.

Before he finished speaking, there was a faint sound of footsteps and branches rubbing against each other outside. Mo Xue's ears moved slightly, her smile disappeared, and she quickly put on her clothes, "Your Highness, there are unexpected guests coming to visit, let the guards prepare."

Soon, the noise outside gradually increased and then gradually subsided.

"Your Highness, Guard Fang is back."

As the door opened, Chu Feimo saw Fang Jing staggering in, with chaos behind him.

"Clean up the bodies outside." Chu Feimo gave a brief order and then asked someone to close the door.

"Where have you been? How did you get into this state?" Chu Feimo frowned and asked. The smell of blood filled his nose, and he subconsciously covered his nose and motioned Mo Xue to go over and check on Fang Jing.

When Fang Jing turned around, Chu Feimo noticed the plum blossom dart on his back and immediately stood up and pulled it out, completely ignoring the fact that Fang Jing almost fainted from the pain.

"You went to the palace?" Chu Feimo was holding the dart, furious.

This person actually came back with this kind of mark! He is simply walking into a trap!

Chu Feimo strode to the door and sternly ordered the guards: "Spread out and be on guard. Don't let the Yulin cavalry get close."

This plum blossom dart is used by the Yulin Cavalry for tracking. Fang Jing ran back directly after hitting the target. Doesn't this mean that he wants them to be wiped out?

"The old acquaintance I introduced to you is not in the palace now." Mo Xue said while treating the wound.

The wounds were so deep that the bones were visible, and it was obvious that the person who did it wanted to kill Fang Jing.

"Thanks to her help, I was able to enter the palace. Otherwise, how could I have broken through the heavy defenses with my ability?" Fang Jing replied with a sneer.

"That's right. Xiao Zhan and that woman ruined her dream. Su Yushu must be holding a grudge against them."

Everyone in the Su family holds grudges very tightly and will take revenge if they are wronged.

Fortunately, I met Su Yushu in Beiling through Jun Li's relationship, otherwise I really don’t know what to do today.

"How do you know the former queen Su Yushu?" After arranging the guards, Chu Feimo returned to the house and stared at Fang Jing sharply, full of confusion.

Fang Jing is just an ordinary guard of Xiyong. How could he be related to the former Queen of Beiling who is far away and has a prominent status?

Fang Jing pointed at Mo Xue and said, "She introduced me."

Mo Xue lowered her head, treating Fang Jing's wound, and said calmly, "I once stayed in Beiling for a period of time and had contacts with royal nobles. I met Queen Su at that time."

This explains why Fang Jing was able to enter and exit the heavily guarded palace freely - it turned out that it was Empress Su who secretly helped him.

"Su Yushu wanted to be the supreme woman. When she married Xiao Yan, she had already begun planning how to become the empress dowager.

But Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan ruined her plan, not only did she lose the possibility of becoming the Queen Mother, but she also lost her position as Queen. Therefore, she hated them both to the core. "

Mo Xue continued, "Out of this hatred, she told Fang Jing the secret passage of the palace."

Since Xiao Zhan ascended the throne, the Su family was purged for rebellion, and only Queen Su survived. For the sake of reputation, Xiao Zhan did not execute her, but demoted her from Queen to Consort, a position with an empty title.

This title is quite ironic, because according to common sense, as the wife of the former emperor Xiao Yan, she should have become the empress dowager.

But now, she was forced to admit that her husband's status was lower than that of the new emperor, and her status plummeted.
