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

"Chief Feng, please think carefully before you answer, otherwise my pet will not show mercy." Xiao Hunruo's voice came from behind. His tone was relaxed, but the threat was self-evident.

A month later, winter came quietly.

Goose feather-like snowflakes slowly fell, covering the entire earth. Every step left deep footprints on the snow, which were soon buried by new snowflakes.

Inside the house, silvery charcoal fire burned brightly, with a few sparks occasionally jumping out. It was freezing cold outside, but the house was warm and cozy.

Cold sweat rolled down Yu Prajna's back, soaking her thin shirt. Her hands were flat on the table, with thin golden needles inserted into her acupuncture points, and the pain was almost unbearable for her.

In order not to worry Jiang Xue, she closed her lips tightly and tried not to make any sound. But the pain was too severe this time, and she couldn't help but moan softly.

Today is the last day of treatment. For 30 consecutive days, Jiang Xue has been painstakingly reconnecting her tendons one by one.

This is a complicated and dangerous process. If she gets it wrong, her hand could lose its function forever.

Even though she heard Yu Prajna's cry of pain, Jiang Xue had to stop what she was doing, because this last one was the most difficult to connect, and only in this way could she ensure that her hand could return to normal.

Time seemed to slow down abnormally, and after about the time it took for the tea to cool down, the last stitch was finally completed.

"it is finally over."

Jiang Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead, put down the golden needle in her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief. After a month of hard work, it was all worth it.

"Try to move your fingers." Jiang Xue asked Fudong to put away the tools, then carefully lifted Yu Banruo's hand and encouraged her to try to move.

With full of hope, Yu Prajna slowly raised her finger.

"I can move!" Joy instantly surged into her heart. This was the happiest thing that had happened to her in the past month - her hands had regained feeling!

"That's good." Jiang Xue smiled gently and gently put down her hand.

"It takes time to adjust to the new tendon. I can only move for two hours a day and then rest. I should be able to fully recover in another month."

Fortunately, the ruptured tendons were in a relatively neat location, making the repair relatively easy. If the injury was more chaotic, the recovery time would probably be longer.

After dealing with the problem of the tendons, Jiang Xue also checked Yu Prajna's throat. Because of the harmful drugs she had been injected with before, her vocal cords were damaged. Although she could not fully recover to the past, Jiang Xue would do her best to help her.

"Fudong, boil this prescription and bring it to Prajna after it cools down."

Yu Prajna couldn't drink hot food now, and even medicine had to be cooled before drinking. This would reduce the efficacy of the medicine and make recovery even slower.

"Yes, Princess." Fu Dong took the medicine bowl and quietly retreated.

"Jiang Xue."

Seeing Jiang Xue busy, Yu Prajna called her over. She recalled the discussion she had overheard while walking in the garden a few days ago.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xue stopped what she was doing and looked up at her.

"I heard that there was a big fuss in the front hall because of you. I don't know where those nobles got the news that you were taken to Xiyong, and they said a lot of unpleasant things."

Yu Prajna really couldn't bring herself to say what those rumors were.

Jiang Xue probably knew what she was talking about, and chuckled: "Don't worry about me, those words are just tricks used by the old nobles to suppress me."

When a woman is taken to a foreign country, people always imagine the worst. Even if Jiang Xue came out to explain, no one would believe her, because people always tend to think the worst.

The reason these old nobles were causing trouble for her was mainly to contain Yun Che and prevent him from making them the queen.

After all, Yun Che had found evidence half a month ago to prove that she was a descendant of the Qian Kingdom's royal family, breaking the rumor that she and Yun Che were relatives.

Without this obstacle, the nobles would naturally find other ways to prevent her from becoming the queen of Beiling.

"They are afraid that if you become the queen, Bei Ling's power will be beyond their control." Although Yu Prajna grew up in the underworld and is not familiar with court affairs, she has a sharp mind and sees things clearly.

Although the power of the old nobility is weakening, they have a foundation of hundreds of years, and it will take time to completely eliminate them.

The people-friendly policies implemented by Xiao Zhan touched the interests of the old aristocracy, resulting in the new emperor faction and the old aristocracy faction being calm on the surface but actually confronting each other fiercely in secret.

In addition, the noble daughters in Xiao Zhan's harem were all neglected, which further exacerbated the conflict between the two factions.

Currently, Xiao Zhan and the old aristocracy are equally powerful, and the old aristocracy even has a slight advantage due to their long-standing foundation.

They didn't want to see Xiao Zhan's power become stronger.

If Jiang Xue becomes the queen, it will not only mean that Qian's army will submit to Bei Ling, but it will also bring about Qian's royal family's deep hatred for the old nobles, which will undoubtedly make Xiao Zhan even more powerful!

Therefore, the old nobles tried their best to prevent Jiang Xue from becoming the queen, because they understood that once Jiang Xue took the throne, their power would suffer a greater blow and their losses would be more serious.

"Gaining advantage by suppressing others is nothing but the last struggle of the weak." Jiang Xue's tone was calm, but revealed a firm belief.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Yun Che can handle this little thing."

How could the man she chose not be able to solve even this little trouble?

"I really envy the relationship between you and Emperor Beiling." Yu Prajna looked at her with an envious smile on her face.

The relationship between Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan is one of equality, neither of them will become a burden to the other. The trust between the two cannot be shaken by the outside world.

Thinking of herself and Nangong Yue, and remembering that he drank Yu Banruo's medicine for her, her heart felt like it was torn apart and the pain was unbearable.

After hearing this, Jiang Xue saw the bitterness in her eyes, hugged her with heartache, gently stroked her back, and accompanied her silently.

Yu Prajna never explained how the injuries on his body came about.

But from her previous words and current expression, it was not difficult for Jiang Xue to guess that all this was probably related to Nangong Yue.

What on earth had happened to this man? If she could find him, she would definitely grab him by the collar and ask him clearly!

As night fell, Xiao Zhan finally finished all his official business and returned to his bedroom.

Today, because of Jiang Xue's matter, I argued endlessly with the nobles headed by the Feng family, but there was no result until the end of the morning court.

The mountain of memorials on his desk gave him a splitting headache.

"What's wrong? Was it a hard day?"

As soon as he opened the bedroom door, the scent of soothing incense wafted in his face, gradually relaxing Xiao Zhan's tense mood.

He walked to the bedside and hugged Jiang Xue, who came to greet him, tightly. He smelled the unique fresh fragrance of her hair, and his furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Jiang Xue understood that he had put a lot of effort into dealing with those old ministers who had evil intentions.

She must have been very tired at this moment, so she didn't ask any more questions, but just stood there quietly and let him hug her.
