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

"For fifteen years, you have eaten and drank from me. Now it's time to return the favor."

Shangguan Jin interrupted Shangguan Chen, his voice gradually becoming colder: "You and Li Xin both understand that if you receive a favor from someone, you should repay it double.

Li Xin understands this better than you, so she accepted the task without hesitation.

And you, Chen'er, should learn to be like her, to be law-abiding, obedient and sensible. A chess piece should have the awareness of a chess piece, and don't dream of resisting the chess master, what a ridiculous idea that is! "

After saying that, Shangguan Jin slammed the desk with his palm, picked up the brush and threw it at Shangguan Chen. The brush infused with internal force instantly pierced his shoulder.

"Uh!"

Shangguan Chen couldn't help but groan, he covered his wound and bent down, but his head was still raised proudly. He looked at Shangguan Jin with hatred in his eyes and gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

"Take him down to rest. Make sure he recovers within three days."

Shangguan Jin ignored Shangguan Chen's gaze and calmly ordered the guards to take the man away.

"master."

Shortly after Shangguan Chen was taken away, a servant entered the room to report the situation.

"Li Xin has successfully entered Changle Mountain and is waiting for Qu Ruchen to confirm his identity." The spy reported the situation.

Confirm the identity? Shangguan Jin looked out the window, thinking about something.

Shangguan Jin's fingers gently stroked the corner of his clothes, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Jiang Xue, you have to watch this scene carefully. You made me lose the ability to walk and sent me to prison. I will take back all the pain and humiliation I have suffered from your precious children!"

He whispered to the people beside him, "Remember, make sure Li Xin stays in Changle Mountain and can't leave at all."

"Yes!" the man responded respectfully.

In the Beiling Palace, Fu Dong compiled a list of nobles going to Changle Mountain and handed it to Jiang Xue.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fudong."

Seeing that Fu Dong, who was pregnant, was still working hard for her, Jiang Xue felt a little guilty and gently took her hand and asked her to sit down.

"It is an honor to serve the princess."

Fu Dong replied with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity: "It is my greatest pleasure to help the princess."

When Jiang Xue was flipping through the list, a name caught her attention.

"Lixin! He comes from Beixi. Is this Lixin's surname Li?"

Fu Dong explained: "As far as I know, this name has no corresponding surname. I also asked Qing Feng to investigate and confirmed that it is just a name and has no surname."

"What's her last name?"

Jiang Xue thought about it and found that there were usually two reasons for this situation:

Either they were unrecognized illegitimate daughters, but the nobles would not publicly send them to Changle Mountain; or they deliberately concealed their identities for some purpose. The latter was more likely.

"We have no way of knowing."

Fu Dong shook his head: "Even Linglong Pavilion can't find the background of this woman."

Jiang Xue pondered, if even Linglong Pavilion with its tight intelligence network could not find any clues, then there must be a powerful force behind this woman named Li Xin, and she herself might not even know her true origins.

"What's the current situation in Changle Mountain?" Jiang Xue asked, changing the subject.

"The young nobles from various countries have arrived. His Highness has sent General Mo Tian to lead the Tieyun Army to garrison the foot of the mountain. Soon, High Priest Qu will perform a ceremony to verify their identities."

When Fu Dong mentioned this, she couldn't help but cover her stomach. It was obvious that the fetus was kicking her again.

"Is the child moving again?"

Jiang Xue gently stroked Fu Dong's abdomen, her eyes full of tenderness. Although Fu Dong looked a little uncomfortable, she soon showed a happy smile, thinking that this was the fruit of her and Qing Feng's love, her heart was filled with love.

"This shows that our children are very healthy and active."

Fu Dong smiled and said that although the days leading up to delivery made her feel a little uncomfortable, she was full of anticipation for the upcoming new life.

Seeing Fu Dong's pale face, Jiang Xue couldn't bear to see her struggling to stay pregnant, so she called the maid to accompany Fu Dong back to rest while she continued to study the list.

"What were you looking at just now? You didn't even notice me coming in?" A gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xue suddenly felt her body lighten, and then she was embraced by a pair of strong arms.

The familiar scent of ambergris filled her nose, relaxing her tense nerves a little.

She leaned into the man's arms and handed the list in her hand to Xiao Zhan: "This person, Linglong Pavilion can't find his background?"

Xiao Zhan looked in the direction she pointed and noticed the name "Xu Li".

"As for this person, the spy has just replied."

As he spoke, he unfolded a drawing that detailed a ring and the pattern on its inside - it was a unique mark of the Beixi royal family, and Jiang Xue had seen it on Shangguan Jin's jade crown.

"Are they from Beixi?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Well, Qu Ruchen has just verified the identity of the disciple who went to Changle Mountain. It seems that Li Xing has a close relationship with the Beixi royal family."

"Since it is related to the royal family and its origin is unknown, what exactly is Beixi planning?" Jiang Xue felt that things were not simple.

"The current information is not enough to make a judgment. We can only wait and see. When the time is right, everything will come out naturally."

Xiao Zhan decided not to let Linglong Pavilion act rashly unless the woman's behavior threatened the safety of their children.

"By the way, Taoist Xuanhe has a letter for you." Xiao Zhan remembered the letter sent by Qingxu Sect and gave it to Jiang Xue.

"Master Xuanhe is very busy. This letter was probably written by that girl Qu Xin in his name," Jiang Xue guessed.

Since the reputation of the Five Poison Sect has not yet been restored, Qu Xin is not convenient to contact Bei Ling directly, so he chose this indirect route, which also hinted at the friendly relationship between Bei Ling and the Qingxu Sect.

"What did she write?"

Xiao Zhan looked at his wife's smile curiously, feeling relieved.

He gently arranged her hair and read the contents of the letter together. When Xiao Zhan saw that Qu Xin wanted to bring Qu Tingyun and Ruoxin together, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Xin'er can only marry a man from Beiling and never marry far away." Xiao Zhan felt sad when he thought that his daughter might leave him.

Jiang Xue joked, "What if Xin'er doesn't like Bei Ling's man? Are you going to break up this couple?"

She remembered that she also came from Qian Country to marry, and she couldn't help but laugh. When he married her, he didn't have so much hesitation.

"If he is not Beiling's man, then break his legs and make him stay in Beiling." Xiao Zhan said seriously.

Jiang Xue was speechless and wondered in her heart why this man suddenly seemed so childish.

At this time, Qu Ruchen had already arranged accommodation for everyone, and everyone received a set of robes and a room.

Li Xin was assigned to a remote but quiet corner, which was exactly what she wanted.

She enjoys being alone, and likes to practice martial arts in silence, drink alone, or lie on the roof and watch the clouds roll by in the sky.
