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

“The Pei family supports the Hades Lu Ming, and although the Han family claims to be neutral, everyone thinks they are supporters of Lu Ming because their wives are from the Pei family.

Therefore, after Lu Ming's defeat, both the Pei family and the Han family were purged by Lu Quan. "

"Except Qu Xin." Jiang Xue whispered.

"And your senior brother's mother Pei Yun also survived." Xiao Zhan added.

“It is said that Lu Quan and Lu Ming were both infatuated with Pei Yun and even duelled for him.

However, Pei Yun eventually chose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, leaving only his young son in the care of an old friend and leaving this place of trouble.

After Pei Yun died, Lu Quan frantically searched for his son's whereabouts, but he didn't find him until three years ago. "

"Faced with such family hatred, as one of the members, how can you accept that your enemy becomes your husband and the father of your children?" Jiang Xue sighed, understanding the unspeakable pain.

"So, Qu Xin and senior brother are cousins?" She sighed softly, fate really plays tricks on her.

"By the way, I remember that Qu Xin was pregnant when she came to see me, but I haven't seen the child now. Do you know where the child is?" Jiang Xue thought of their previous encounter, when Qu Xin was obviously about to become a mother.

"Don't worry, the child is with Wu Du and Master Ruchen." Xiao Zhan comforted.

Xiao Zhan explained, “Back then, Qu Shang kidnapped Master Ruchen, and it was Qu Xin and Xuan He who rescued her together.

The spies we sent to Wudu confirmed that the child was born after the rescue. As soon as the child was born, Qu Xin asked Master Ruchen to bring the child back to Wudu."

Jiang Xue asked in confusion: "Why didn't she go back with us? Since the people have been rescued, she should go back with us."

"Qu Xin promised Taoist Xuan He that she would return to Qingxu Sect because she needed to go back and give an explanation for the murder of Yin's disciples and the use of Yinglong's power that caused great losses to Qingxu Sect.

It seems that she and Taoist Xuanhe had an agreement in advance that he would help her save people and she would go back with him to report. "

"Could it be that she really killed someone?" Jiang Xue was suspicious. Based on her understanding of Qu Xin, the other party would not kill people for no reason.

The Yin family's disciples had no connection with Qu Xin, so there was no reason for them to be her targets. As for the Yinglong force she used later, it was because the Qingxu sect's disciples pushed her too far, so Qu Xin had no choice but to use the forbidden technique.

In the final analysis, all of this was caused by the Qingxu Sect, not Qu Xin's responsibility!

"This is the evidence that the Qingxu faction used to accuse her of murder."

Xiao Zhan handed Jiang Xue a dagger engraved with the Five Poison Sect's symbol: "This dagger was brought out by Taoist Xuanhe after she was forced to drink the cold poison soup."

"If she hadn't drunk that bowl of medicine..." Jiang Xue seemed to understand something.

"They will behead you on the spot without giving you any chance," Xiao Zhan replied.

So that's it. Xuan He had her take the cold poison medicine in order to give her a chance to survive, but he didn't expect that this would almost take Qu Xin's life.

"Why do they think this is evidence of Qu Xin's murder?" Jiang Xue questioned.

"The back of the Yin family disciple was cut open from behind, and the spine was severed. This dagger was found on the body."

"But the blade of this dagger only has vertical scratches. If it was really used in this murder, there should be slanted marks. And the dagger is too short to reach the spine."

Jiang Xue said this while gesturing with a dagger to prove her point.

"This dagger is so small that even for a thin adult man, it is difficult for it to reach the spine. Therefore, I am sure that this is not the murder weapon, and Qu Xin is not the murderer!"

"The Queen is indeed smart and quick-witted." Xuan He couldn't help but admire Jiang Xue's reasoning after listening to her.

"Master Xuanhe, please come in." Jiang Xue greeted Xuanhe who came in and motioned him to sit down.

"How is Qu Xin now? Is the condition stable?" she asked with concern.

"Thanks to the Queen's superb medical skills, Qu Xin's condition has improved greatly." Xuan He bowed respectfully before sitting down.

"The queen is extremely intelligent. She saw the secret on the dagger at a glance. In comparison, I am really ashamed."

He failed to notice these subtle details at first, so he had a deep misunderstanding of Qu Xin and inadvertently hurt her feelings.

"Care leads to confusion, so it is understandable that you are negligent, Taoist priest."

Jiang Xue placed the dagger on the table, pondered for a moment, and handed over a letter: "How much do you know about the things in the letter, Taoist priest?"

Xuan He took the letter and after reading it, his eyes were full of shock.

"is this real?"

His fingers trembled slightly in surprise: "Master, he is really the murderer? Queen, Emperor Beiling, is this really true?"

The letter revealed that Wentian helped Lu Quan to massacre the Pei and Han families, even sparing no children. If Qu Ruchen had not accidentally saved Qu Xin, she would have been dead long ago.

No wonder Qu Xin had called his master a murderer in front of the library and tried to kill him. Everything suddenly became clear.

"Why don't you go ask your master? Ask him what he did to me twelve years ago? What he did to the Han family?" Qu Xin's previous words now have an answer.

"I, Qu Xin, know how to distinguish between gratitude and resentment, and I will avenge my grudges! After being bullied like this, I must seek justice, Taoist priest, don't you agree?"

Recalling her words at that time, Xuan He felt a pang of pain in his heart. When he was young, his family was destroyed, he was responsible for a life, and was forced to drink cold poison, which left him with an incurable disease. All of this was related to the Qingxu Sect.

"The news from Linglong Pavilion has always been reliable."

Xiao Zhan explained: "This letter was supposed to be given to Miss Qu three years ago, but she did not show up that day, and the truth was not revealed until today."

"Three years ago? Which day is Emperor Beiling referring to?" Xuan He was shocked and looked up to ask.

"The third day of April."

There was a loud bang, as if thunder exploded in his heart. The memory of that day was like a sudden storm, impacting his thoughts.

That day, he was poisoned by the Sixth Junior Sister's Chunhe Powder, and the two had inappropriate close contact. It turned out that she was eager to escape in order to obtain information about Linglong Pavilion.

If he hadn't stopped her that day, the truth might have come to light earlier and the misunderstanding between them would not have happened.

She wouldn't have to go through so much hardship, and he wouldn't help the master capture the Five Poison Sect disciples who came to rescue her.

"I've always had a question."

Jiang Xue noticed the shocked expression on his face and realized that a lot must have happened that day.

She remembered that the power of Yinglong appeared on the third day of April. Under Qu Ruchen's order, the members of the Five Poison Sect went to Yingxia to support Qu Xin, but most of them never came back.

When she asked Qu Xin about the whereabouts of the other Five Poison disciples, it seemed that even Qu Xin didn't know the answer.

Now, she felt that the senior disciple of Qingxu Sect in front of her might know some inside information.

"Empress, please ask." After a moment, Xuan He came to his senses and responded.
