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

He sincerely hoped that they could overcome the difficulties in the future together.

Watching Lan Feng's gradually receding figure, Jiang Xue chuckled and shook her head: "Yun Che, that move you made just now was intentional."

Since the two of them have been together, Xiao Zhan's former coldness has long disappeared, and sometimes he even seems a little childish.

"Yes, I did it on purpose."

Xiao Zhan smiled: "I want him to know clearly that you are my woman, so that he can realize Xiao Wei's feelings for him."

"Okay, you're right." Jiang Xue responded with a smile. It was clearly out of possessiveness, but he still found a plausible excuse.

However, she also sincerely hoped that Lan Feng would do as he said, let go of his feelings for her and treat Jiang Xiaowei wholeheartedly.

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Xiaowei asked anxiously, "My husband, did you like the glazed osmanthus cake I made today?"

"Ah, Liuli Osmanthus Cake?"

Lan Feng then realized that he had been distracted by Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan's affairs and had completely forgotten to mention the Liuli Osmanthus Cake.

Seeing her husband like this, Jiang Xiaowei said a little disappointedly: "It seems that *** doesn't like it."

"That's not the case, Xiaowei."

Lan Feng felt a little guilty: "After meeting ***, we were busy discussing business. I just put the cakes there and didn't have time to mention it. But I believe that when she notices it, she will like it very much."

"So that's it."

Jiang Xiaowei said, "It seems that your conversation today must be very important."

"Indeed. In fact, tomorrow *** and Xiao Zhan will leave the capital with me to inspect the border."

Lan Feng had to tell her a little lie because this matter was of great importance.

"Cousin Xiao Zhan is going too? Is there something wrong at the northern border?"

“There are no unusual circumstances at this time.”

Jiang Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief: "I feel relieved now."

As the commander-in-chief at the northern border, Lan Feng would be the first to bear the brunt if anything happened there.

She knew that her fate was linked to his mission and that she was destined to worry about him, but she still prayed for more peace on the northern border so that he would be safe.

"Smile."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiaowei raised her head and looked at him, and asked softly, "Husband, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Have you ever thought about why Xiao Zhan hasn't taken a concubine in all these years?"

Lan Feng's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity: "He was born in the Beiling Imperial Court and sat on the Beiling throne at a young age. I wonder how many women are eager to marry him as a concubine."

Jiang Xiaowei raised her head and looked into her husband's eyes: "I remember my aunt felt sorry about this. My cousin has absolutely no intention of taking another concubine."

"Then why is he unwilling to take a concubine?"

"He once said that if he wanted to get married, he would marry someone he truly loved and be devoted to that person." Jiang Xiaowei replied softly.

Lan Feng was stunned for a moment, secretly comparing his own choice with Xiao Zhan's determination.

"lady."

Jiang Xiaowei's voice became gentle: "He has finally found the person he loves wholeheartedly for the rest of his life."

"You mean ***?"

Lan Feng asked directly: "Xiao Zhan no longer takes concubines because of her."

"I thought so too, and I think His Highness *** should have the same feelings towards my cousin..."

Jiang Xiaowei mustered up the courage to speak out what was in her heart.

"That's true."

Lan Feng admitted: "Today, *** told me this secret in person."

Jiang Xiaowei slowly reached out to Lan Feng and finally held his hand tightly: "Husband, I am always here to support you."

Having experienced the pain of not getting what she wants, she knows how to cherish the person in front of her.

Lan Feng smiled and responded: "To be honest, after knowing this, I did feel a little uncomfortable, but I felt more relieved."

"Since the death of the late emperor, *** seems to have become a different person. Although she still smiles, that kind of gentle and happy smile did not appear again until today when I saw her with Xiao Zhan."

“People say she was like a ferocious wolf on the battlefield, I thought the war made her stronger and more cruel.

It wasn't until today that I realized there was someone who could make her smile as pure and happy as before."

"At that moment I realized that my feelings for *** would only become a burden to her, so I decided to let go.

Please give me some time, I will try my best to make your smile full of happiness and calmness. "

When Jiang Xiaowei heard these words, she was surprised at first, and then moved.

No matter how long it takes, she is willing to wait because she believes that the love between them will eventually blossom and bear fruit.

"Husband, I will wait."

Ever since Feng Ziqing handed the Buddhist scriptures she had copied by hand to Jiang Heng, her heart was full of anticipation, hoping that the house arrest order could be lifted as soon as possible.

However, as the days passed, the news she was waiting for never came. The hope in her heart gradually turned into disappointment, and the disappointment slowly turned into anger.

The maid Zhuier looked at her master's increasingly haggard appearance and was filled with worry.

By chance, she accidentally broke Feng Ziqing's beloved vase while tidying the room. This accident caused Feng Ziqing's emotions to explode instantly. She ordered Zhuier to kneel on the broken porcelain pieces, and her knees were soon cut and bleeding.

Zhuier begged for mercy with tears streaming down her face: "Empress Dowager, please have mercy. I will never dare to do it again." If she continued like this, her legs might become disabled.

Feng Ziqing watched coldly: "You are not allowed to get up without my permission."

At this moment, Xiao Zhan's voice came from behind: "Get up, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the imperial physician to take a look."

Hearing her cousin's voice, Feng Ziqing's eyes lit up. Blood is thicker than water, and she believed that Xiao Zhan would stand by her side in the end.

Seeing that Feng Ziqing had no objection, Zhuier quickly stood up, endured the pain and left the room, leaving only the cousin and brother in the room.

“Yun Che, I knew you would come.” Feng Ziqing said.

"Your Highness, you may have misunderstood my intentions."

Xiao Zhan said calmly: "I came here today not to convey any good news, but to give you a letter on behalf of your mother."

"Aren't you here to lift the ban?"

Feng Ziqing seemed quite disappointed: "Yun Che, how could you do that?"

She remembered what she had said before and stopped talking in time: "How could you be deceived by that woman?"

Xiao Zhan put down the letter and said, "Empress Dowager, when will you understand that your situation is not caused by others, but by your own behavior.

If you had any sincerity towards the emperor, the ending would not be like this today."

He paused and continued, "The scriptures you copied for the emperor were not sincere. It was just a means for you to leave Zhaode Hall."

"Neither *** nor I are easily deceived. How can a few scriptures change everything?"

Xiao Zhan looked at his sister Feng Ziqing, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:

"Cousin, your strength does not match your ambition. I advise you to give up these meaningless struggles. This will be a relief for you, the emperor, and the Feng family."
