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

“Your Majesty, Prince Ming is right, this place is not only the resting place of our ancestors, but also a symbol of royal dignity.

If the fire gets out of control and something really happens, it will be too late to regret. "Ming Fei glanced at Chu Jingming, and then whispered to Xiyong Emperor.

"So according to you, are we going to let those thieves do whatever they want in the tomb of the late emperor?"

The Queen said with dissatisfaction that she had always disliked Concubine Ming. How could a commoner of humble origin be on an equal footing with her in the harem and be favored by the Emperor? She didn't even have a child, but she could be made a concubine. It was really outrageous!

"The Queen is absolutely right. I cannot allow those villains to wreak havoc!" Emperor Xiyong responded.

Concubine Ming thought for a moment, exchanged glances with Chu Jingming, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it is feasible."

"You say it."

"Open flames are difficult to control, but hidden flames are. We can smoke them out with thick smoke, which has the same effect as open flames, but with much less risk."

This would ensure the safety of the people inside and would not arouse the suspicion of the Xiyong Emperor. After hearing this, the Xiyong Emperor immediately agreed to this plan.

After the order was given, the attendants acted quickly. Chu Jingming stood aside, his hands clenched behind his back, watching the thick smoke billowing into the entrance of the mausoleum, feeling uneasy.

"Second brother, we are just catching a few thieves, why are you so nervous?" Chu Feimo asked with a sneer, as if mocking Chu Jingming.

"Your Highness, the situation is special now. Let's leave the matter between you and Prince Ming for later." Upon seeing this, Concubine Ming quickly spoke up to mediate.

"Mrs. Ming Fei, I am just concerned about my second brother. Why are you so nervous?"

Chu Feimo looked at Ming Fei with disdain and always held contempt for her. He thought her status was a joke and not worthy of respect at all.

"Empress Ming is considering the overall situation. In order to calm the current tense situation, Your Highness the Crown Prince does not need to worry too much." Chu Jingming responded coldly.

"Your Majesty, there is movement!" A soldier lay on the ground with his ear close to the dagger on the ground. When he heard the slight sound, he immediately reported it to Emperor Xiyong.

"Can you determine the exact location?" Emperor Xiyong asked with a gloomy face.

For decades, the imperial mausoleum has been filled with various traps to prevent outsiders from breaking in. But today, someone actually dared to come and die!

If this man is caught, he must be executed and displayed in the center of the city!

"Judging from the sound, we should be not far from the late emperor's tomb," the scout reported.

"Okay! Come on, follow his voice and find that person for me!" The emperor gave the order immediately.

"Father, leave this matter to me." Chu Feimo volunteered to fight, with a sneer on his lips, and swept his eyes coldly over Chu Jingming.

Seeing this, Chu Jingming also stepped forward and said, "Father, the mechanisms in the imperial mausoleum are complex and varied. I personally supervised their construction and I am very familiar with their locations and structures. It would be most appropriate for me to take people in to check it out."

Ayan, Changle and the others are all in there. If Chu Feimo finds them, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Well, what the second brother said does make sense." After listening to Chu Jingming's words, the emperor touched his chin and thought.

His eyes wandered between his two sons, and finally landed on Chu Jingming: "In order to prevent the agency from harming our soldiers, let the second son go."

Chu Feimo gritted his teeth and tried to maintain his outward respect. Alas! It's like this again! Father always favors the second child!

Seeing his father's favoritism in public, Chu Feimo's dissatisfaction grew stronger.

He squinted his eyes and looked around, perhaps he shouldn't wait any longer.

If this continues, one day the emperor will consider passing the throne to the second son! What should he do as the crown prince?

"Let me go." At this time, a man dressed in the clothes of the Prince's Mansion walked out from behind Chu Feimo. He was tall and had a low voice, giving people an indescribable chill.

When he raised his head, he revealed a face that was both familiar and murderous—Li Yi, the alchemist who originally followed Qu Shang, now stood on Chu Feimo's side!

"You?" Chu Feimo turned his head to look at him, thought about it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Ok."

It would be nice to have an insider watching over everything, at least to ensure that things don't go wrong and prevent him from letting the prisoner go without permission.

"But you have to remember that I won't help you for nothing. You must do what you promised me."

Li Yi said: "Qu Shang took advantage of my injury to escape."

He was born cunning and scheming, and Li Yi tried his best to find him back, but to no avail. At this time, Chu Feimo's men sent a letter urging Qu Shang to go to Fengxiao.

Li Yi suddenly had an idea and decided to use Chu Feimo's power to find someone. In exchange, he promised to help Chu Feimo clear all obstacles on his way.

"Don't worry, I am the future emperor and my words count." Chu Feimo said.

For him, promises are just a matter of words. As long as he can achieve his goal, he is willing to make any promise.

"Okay." Li Yi agreed. Under Chu Feimo's arrangement, he followed Chu Jingming's team into the imperial mausoleum.

At the same time, inside the imperial mausoleum, Jiang Xue and Chu Yan hid in a safe place, waiting with bated breath.

The black smoke filled the air, making the two feel uncomfortable.

"Third Princess, bear with it for a while." Jiang Xue said, taking out a handkerchief, dipped it in medicine and handed it to Chu Yan, asking her to cover her mouth and nose to relieve the discomfort of breathing.

She looked down at Chu Yan's swollen ankle - Chu Yan accidentally sprained her foot while dodging the boulder just now, and it would take at least a month to recover.

There were footsteps coming from outside, approaching step by step. As they didn't know who was coming, Jiang Xue and Chu Yan became nervous.

"Which direction are we going?" Li Yi asked Chu Jingming.

"Go this way." Chu Jingming pointed to the road on the right and gave an order to the guards behind him. Li Yi did not follow, but chose the road on the left alone.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Xue saw a figure slowly approaching.

"Your Majesty!" an attendant exclaimed, attracting Chu Jingming's attention. He stepped forward quickly, and the scene in front of him made him widen his eyes.

"Found it." Chu Jingming said in a low voice.

Li Yi stood in front of Jiang Xue and another woman with a cold and contemptuous look in his eyes.

"Oh it's you."

Jiang Xue recognized the enemy who had killed her master, and the anger in her heart was hard to suppress. She moved her fingers slightly, and a sharp golden needle appeared.

"You are far less powerful than me. I advise you to give up struggling."

Li Yi said nonchalantly. He knew that Jiang Xue's martial arts and internal strength were mediocre, and the only thing to be wary of was her superb golden needle skills.

But even so, these methods seem insignificant in front of him, the alchemist.

"Are you here alone today? Where is your master?"

Li Yi is not only the alchemist carefully trained by Qu Shang, but the two of them are also inseparable.
