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

“Yun Che.”

Jiang Xue responded softly: "I always knew you would support me. Thank you for always being with me."

Based on the current situation of Qian State, they decided to maintain the status quo in front of outsiders. The confrontation in the court was still fierce, and the ministers were worried about the confrontation between the two.

One night, Jiang Xue said with a smile: "We confuse the ministers every day, which is quite interesting."

Xiao Zhan likes her current smile, pure and happy. He hopes that this happiness will accompany her throughout her life.

"If Xiaoxue finds it funny, we can tease them again tomorrow."

Since Lan Feng got married, General Lan's condition seemed to have improved because of joy, and he was even able to get up and walk in the yard.

The whole family was full of gratitude and love for the newlywed Jiang Xiaowei and sent her countless gifts.

Faced with these generous gifts, Jiang Xiaowei felt a little uneasy.

"It's all because of you. Grandfather's spirit has improved a lot. You deserve it."

Lan Feng said, and took out an exquisite white jade crescent jade pendant: "This is the dowry passed down to me by my mother. Now it belongs to you."

Jiang Xiaowei took the jade pendant with emotion, her heart filled with warmth.

This was the first gift her husband had ever given her, and she would cherish it forever.

There has been no major events in the court recently, and Jiang Xue is preparing to go to southern Xinjiang with Xiao Zhan to handle affairs.

Xiao Zhan stroked her hair and said, "I just want to go see the scenery in southern Xinjiang."

Jiang Xue responded with a smile: "We are here for business, not sightseeing."

“It’s better to take both into account.”

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "However, before we set off, we have more important things to do."

Jiang Xue asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Zhan kissed her lips gently, then picked her up, with deep affection in his eyes: "Xiaoxue, what do you think?"

Jiang Xue smiled knowingly and hugged his neck: "Although I have been a little indulgent these days, I really like this kind of time."

Princess Yunchu was struggling internally as she faced the bowl of black medicinal soup on the table.

If you drink it, it will be bitter and unbearable; if you don’t drink it, your life will be in danger and it may also implicate others.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and picked up the bowl of medicine, but her hands began to shake uncontrollably and spilled medicine all over herself.

At this time, Fuxia, the personal maid, hurried in and reported that there was a letter from the Empress Dowager.

Yun Chu put down the medicine bowl, took the letter, and breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. It turned out that Feng Ziqing's letter brought a turning point, giving her a glimmer of hope.

On the other hand, Jiang Xue always felt exhausted recently, so she simply attended the morning court only every two days.

This way, they can ensure rest without affecting government affairs, and the ministers are also happy to see it happen.

One day, she was lying lazily on the couch, lamenting that it was easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go the other way.

Just as she was thinking about sharing a relaxing time with her lover Xiao Zhan, Fu Dong's anxious voice interrupted her thoughts: "Princess, the Prime Minister may be in danger!"

Jiang Xue immediately became alert. She heard that the Queen Mother had summoned the Prime Minister and Princess Yunchu, and that the Queen Mother's maid Zhuier had behaved strangely in the past few days and had asked someone to bring in the forbidden substance Hehuan Powder.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Jiang Xue quickly picked up the sword and took Fu Dong straight to Zhaode Hall.

After receiving the summons, Xiao Zhan went there immediately, but found that Zhaode Hall was unusually deserted.

Just when he felt something was wrong, Princess Yunchu's voice sounded behind him. She was dressed particularly gorgeously today and walked slowly towards him.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Xiao Zhan frowned, feeling uneasy.

"The Empress Dowager asked me to wait here for the Prime Minister." Princess Yunchu said softly.

Xiao Zhan was shocked. He sensed an unusual reaction in his body. This was definitely not natural.

Before he stepped into the room, it was obvious that someone had done something secretly, and the mastermind was undoubtedly the Queen Mother.

Princess Yunchu took a step forward and tried to get closer to Xiao Zhan, but her hug was met with his quick retreat.

"Don't touch me!" he almost shouted.

"Yun Che, my heart has belonged to you since the first time I saw you. Please don't reject me."

Princess Yunchu's voice contained a hint of pleading.

Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth, trying to fight the desire surging in his body: "Princess Yunchu, you are not qualified to call the name 'Yun Che'."

Being humiliated in public like this, Princess Yunchu felt filled with humiliation, but she knew that saving her life was more important than maintaining her dignity at this moment.

"Even if you think I'm unworthy, I must keep you today."

She threw away her coat and tried to close the distance between them again:

"Xiao Zhan, I know you are feeling very uncomfortable right now. I am a gift from the Queen Mother to you. I am the antidote that can free you. Please accept me."

As the effects of the drug intensified, Xiao Zhan felt as if his world was in flames, but the only clear image in his mind was Jiang Xue.

He couldn't betray her.

In order to resist the pain, he decisively picked up the golden hairpin beside him and cut his wrist...

When Jiang Xue rushed to Zhaode Hall, the guards at the door tried to stop her from entering.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother is praying in the Buddhist temple and is not here," they explained.

"Then I will wait here."

Jiang Xue said firmly, but the guards insisted that no one could enter without the Queen Mother's order.

"Why not? Do you have something shameful to do?"

Jiang Xue sneered, and drew her sword. Without waiting for any explanation, she stabbed the guard in front. She was worried about Xiao Zhan's safety and had lost her patience.

Blood splattered, and the other guards stepped back to make a path for her.

"Please ask the imperial physician to come and treat him. It would be best if he can be saved. Otherwise..."

Jiang Xue retracted her sword and left these words. In fact, she did not kill him, leaving him a glimmer of hope. After all, the responsibilities of injuring and killing people in the palace are completely different.

Jiang Xue strode into Zhaode Hall and found Xiao Zhan lying in a pool of blood due to excessive blood loss. His condition was extremely critical.

Princess Yunchu was terrified by Xiao Zhan's weakness: "You...what are you doing? Don't you even care about your own life?"

"Of course I care about my life."

He answered softly but firmly: "I still want to spend my life with Xiaoxue, to protect her and cherish her."

"Then why are you still so reckless?" Princess Yunchu asked.

During the conversation, the door was suddenly kicked open.

The scene that Jiang Xue saw made her heart tighten suddenly - Xiao Zhan fell in a pool of blood.

She quickly rushed to his side and hugged him tightly: "Yun Che!"

"Xiaoxue, don't worry, it's just a wrist injury and it will heal soon." He comforted her.

A trace of heartache flashed in Jiang Xue's eyes. She quickly took out a bottle of medicine from her arms and sprinkled it on Xiao Zhan's wound. The bleeding finally stopped.

Then she looked up and said, "Fudong, go get the imperial physician quickly."

"Yes, ***." Fu Dong responded and left.

After helping Xiao Zhan sit firmly on the stool, Jiang Xue slowly walked towards Princess Yunchu.

At this moment, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, causing Princess Yunchu to retreat involuntarily again and again until she had her back against the wall with no way to retreat.
