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

"Your Majesty, I was extremely worried when I heard about the Queen Mother's illness and rushed here to make sure she was safe."

Feng Ji reacted quickly, kneeling on the ground to explain, and others followed suit, claiming that they came for the Queen Mother's health.

"I see."

Xiao Zhan's eyes swept over the guards wearing armor and holding weapons: "But your attire makes me wonder if you have other purposes."

Xiao Zhan's eyes were deep, and although his words were slow, they contained a hint of threat, which made everyone present feel a chill.

In the solemn hall of the palace, the old minister Feng Ji finally spread out his cards.

"emperor."

He said solemnly: "I received a tip-off that the Queen Mother's illness is related to Princess Changle. I came here today to ask the princess for an explanation."

No longer hiding his intentions, he pointed directly at Jiang Xue and asked, "Princess Changle, do you plead guilty?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Xuean sat in his seat with a sneer on his face: "I follow the rules. I don't know what crime I have committed that caused Chief Feng to mobilize so many troops."

She glanced sideways, not caring about Feng Ji's accusations.

"Are you still playing dumb? It seems you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River!"

Feng Ji clapped his hands, and then a man who looked like a medical officer was brought forward.

Doctor Feng looked around and seemed very nervous.

Encouraged by Feng Ji, he trembled and revealed: "I saw with my own eyes that Princess Changle tampered with the Queen Mother's medicine many times. This is the remaining medicine residue, which contains the deadly raw arisaema."

Jiang Xue's heart sank as she recalled the scene in the pharmacy before, realizing that she had already fallen into someone else's trap.

As expected, someone soon chimed in and mentioned that they had seen her in that pharmacy.

"Your Majesty! The evidence is irrefutable. The fact that Princess Changle harmed the Queen Mother cannot be denied! Such a vicious person, please deal with him immediately and redress the injustice for the Queen Mother!"

The nobles shouted in unison, as if they had united overnight just to eradicate this threat.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the sound of a wheelchair rolling was heard from the inner room.

The Queen Mother appeared in front of everyone, looking calm and composed, without any sign of weakness. She looked around the hall and said coldly, "What is going on? What kind of justice do you want the Emperor to give me?"

Feng Ji and other nobles were struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

Xiao Hunruo and Qu Shang, who planned all this, were also stunned - it turned out that the victory they thought they had in their hands was nothing but an illusion; and the real game of chess had just begun.

Feng Ji suddenly turned his head, snatched the medicine residue from Doctor Feng and examined it carefully, only to find that there was no raw arisaema that they provided in it!

This was not the medicine she and Qu Shang had given her! The old woman was not poisoned! They had been fooled!

"Queen Mother!"

Feng Ji gritted his teeth and spat out these two words. He looked up at Xiao Zhan, who was still calm and composed, obviously having expected everything.

Not only was the Queen Mother not dead, her physical condition was even better than the intelligence they had received. Except for her legs, she had almost fully recovered.

"Why? Are you disappointed that I'm still alive?"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists on the armrests of her wheelchair. Thanks to Changle's careful inspection of her medicine, otherwise she might have fallen to the conspiracy of these nobles at this moment.

"Just now, Chief Feng performed a one-man show. Now it's Changle's turn to take the stage."

Jiang Xue snapped her fingers, and Cheng was escorted up. Her body was covered with knife marks, her face was completely destroyed, and her miserable appearance was unbearable to look at.

As soon as she saw Xiao Hunruo, Cheng seemed to have lost her mind. She rushed towards her frantically, screaming, "Bitch! How dare you betray me!"

Facing Cheng's attack, Xiaohunruo reflexively dodged by rolling backwards and tried to subdue the opponent.

Tieyi reacted quickly, blocked her action, and saved Cheng.

"Patriarch Feng, your daughter really opened my eyes. I didn't expect she was a martial arts master and was so cruel.

You broke into the palace armed with weapons late at night under the pretext of worrying about the Queen Mother, ignoring palace rules, and brought such a master and the high priest of the Red Moon Cult with you. Are you trying to usurp the throne?"

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of Yulin soldiers loading their guns came from outside the door. Thousands of soldiers, led by Nan Jingxing, rushed into the palace and surrounded all the nobles.

Hearing the words "High Priest of the Red Moon Cult", Feng Ji's expression suddenly changed, and he found the mysterious man wearing Qian Kingdom costume standing next to Xiao Hunruo in the crowd.

The Red Moon Cult is regarded as a cult in Beiling, and anyone involved with it will be severely punished for treason!

Before leaving, he was immersed in the joy of getting rid of Jiang Xue, but forgot to pay attention to who was following him.

"Colluding with the Red Moon Cult, breaking into the palace at night, fabricating news about the Queen Mother's life and death, and framing a princess from another country - Chief Feng, any one of these charges is enough to get you beheaded."

Xiao Zhan's words were like a sharp blade hanging high in the air, which could fall at any time and end the lives of these nobles.

Faced with such a serious situation, these nobles who usually cherished their lives were already scared out of their wits. They were eager to sever their relationship with Feng Ji, just to save their lives.

"Your Majesty! I was coerced by Lord Feng and had no choice but to participate!"

"Your Majesty! I have also been threatened. Please understand!"

Ironically, this group of nobles who had temporarily united to get rid of Jiang Xue fell apart in the blink of an eye. Everyone wanted to stay out of it and push Feng Ji to the front to protect themselves.

"you!"

Feng Ji stared at his companions who had abandoned him with eyes wide open, his heart filled with disbelief and anger. At this moment, he felt extremely lonely and helpless.

"Don't panic, Patriarch Feng. Don't you still have two friends you can rely on? If you want to survive, it's better to ask them for help than to rely on the group of people behind you."

Jiang Xue leaned lazily in the chair, her legs swinging slightly, as if she was watching a good show.

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but chuckle. This little girl was indeed cunning. Asking Feng Ji to turn around and ask Qu Shang for help would undoubtedly confirm his crime of colluding with the Red Moon Cult.

"Princess Changle, there must be a misunderstanding."

Xiao Hunruo looked around and realized that the situation was far beyond her expectations. Even if she joined forces with Qu Shang, facing the heavy encirclement of the Yulin Army, there was almost no chance of winning.

"Misunderstanding? I don't think so."

Jiang Xue stood up straight, turned her wrist, and the golden needle flew out, heading straight for Xiao Hunruo!

Xiaohunruo dodged quickly and the golden needle brushed past her belt. With a sound of clothes tearing, the belt broke and fine powder scattered.

"It's Arisaema! Cover your mouth and nose quickly, don't inhale it!" Doctor Feng reacted quickly, covered his mouth and nose immediately, and warned others.

The air was filled with tension, and everyone was looking for hope in this sudden change.

"Just now, Imperial Doctor Feng said that the raw Arisaema was mixed into the medicine residue, which made the Queen Mother's condition worse. Am I right?"

Jiang Xue asked with some curiosity, her eyes falling on Xiao Zhan.
