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

Jiang Xue finished serving the decoction and coaxed Queen Lu to sleep. After she fell asleep, she went outside the palace and said to Fu Dong: "Go to the small kitchen of Yi'an Palace to make some light porridge for your mother, and then some more It’s an appetizer, I’ll serve her some when the queen gets up later.”

Fudong nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Xue found Dong Shupei again and asked, "Can the second emperor brother be in the palace today?"

Dong Shupei said: "After the afternoon meal in the second palace, I went to Yi'an Palace once. The servant followed the empress's instructions and only said that the empress had taken a nap."

"His Second Highness left a message, saying that he will stay at Huashengtai after handling official duties in the past few days, and asked me to have someone go there to invite him if he has anything to do. He must be here at this moment."

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Can I ask my aunt to pass the chariot for me? I'll go look for the second emperor brother."

Dong Shupei nodded and immediately asked someone to do it.

Arriving at Huashengtai, Jiang Xue walked quickly into the study.

Jiang Yu was engrossed in reading the official document, when he suddenly saw Jiang Xue pushing the door open and said in shock: "Xue'er, why did you come into the palace?"

Jiang Xue said: "I have something to ask the emperor."

Jiang Yu put down the official document in his hand, stood up and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Second Emperor Brother, Feng Song, do you know this person?"

"Feng Song?" Jiang Yu frowned and thought carefully, and said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Feng had already retired as an official three or four years ago. Why are you looking for him?"

"Becoming an official? Three or four years ago?" Jiang Xue felt even more strange.

Jiang Yu helped her sit down at the table, poured her another cup of tea, and said, "Yes, and at that time he was no longer a right picker. He was already an official to the fourth rank admonishing doctor. But he didn't arrive at that time. At the age of retirement, he became an official because his mother was seriously ill at home, so he submitted his resignation to his father."

Jiang Xue asked: "Brother Huang had not been involved in government affairs at that time, how could he remember it so clearly?"

"Well," Jiang Yu said with a wry smile, "Master Feng had many disagreements with the eldest brother in terms of political opinions, so he would comment on him every few days. At that time, the eldest brother wanted to carry out the reform of the gentry and give the poor families in the world a way to take the imperial examination. Lu, because my father has always been open to speaking out, Lord Feng was very at odds with the eldest brother back then, and I even thought about finding someone to beat him up because of this."

"Don't deal with the eldest emperor brother?" Jiang Xue wondered. She didn't know much about the affairs of the court back then, but the eldest emperor brother's reputation was well known in Daji, so she didn't know that there were people in the court who were against him.

"Yes," Jiang Yu sighed and said, "Although he always accused the eldest brother, when he became an official, the eldest brother also lamented to me, saying that this person is upright and a loyal minister, which is a pity."

Jiang Xue asked: "Where will you be after becoming an official? Does the emperor know?"

Jiang Yu shook his head and said: "I only know that I went back to my hometown in Hexi, over there in Ganzhou."

Jiang Xue sighed, it seemed that he could only let people go to Hexi for a trip.

"What did you ask him for?" Jiang Yu asked doubtfully.

"I've been checking some things recently. It's nothing." Jiang Xue changed the subject and said, "Brother, can you help me go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to check on the mother and son?"

"I originally planned to go to the Gu Mansion to talk to you about this in the evening," Jiang Yu said seriously, "The mother and son registered in the household registration book are from Suzhou."

"Suzhou?!" Jiang Xue's pupils trembled, "Gu Lintan is from Hedong. Suzhou and Hedong are thousands of miles apart. How can she be from Suzhou?"

"It is undoubtedly Suzhou," Jiang Yu said, "Maybe Gu Lintan knew it in his early years?"

"No," Jiang Xue said, "their child is already three years old. If we met her in the early years, why was her place of origin still in Suzhou before she entered Beijing?"

She said to Jiang Yu: "I'd like to trouble my brother to find someone to release the wind. I want to see what Gu Lintan's reaction will be when he finds out that someone is checking Su Xi's identity."

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

Jiang Xue reached out and rubbed the center of her brows. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to talk to Jiang Yu.

"Brother Emperor, my mother is ill. We were afraid that we would be worried, so no one said anything."

"What?" Jiang Yu said in shock, "No wonder I wanted to go to Yi'an Palace to pay my respects and accompany my mother these past two days, but Aunt Dong refused many times."

Jiang Xue was a little helpless. A man in the army like Jiang Yu was not as meticulous as a girl like Xiaochun, so it was normal that he didn't notice.

"I came to the palace today to serve my mother. Would you like to go with me to Yi'an Palace to have dinner with your mother during dinner time?"

"Okay, please wait while I pack up these official documents." Jiang Yu said in a deep voice.

"My mother was suddenly ill because of my grandfather's affairs. Originally, there was no news in the palace. The people sent by my mother to the Prime Minister's Mansion could not see my grandfather, and they could not report the truth when they came back. But I have explained it just now and comforted her that her grandfather is not in trouble. No, I think her illness will get better soon." Jiang Xue said, "Brother Emperor will see your mother later, so remember to take comfort from this place."

"I know what to say." Jiang Yu nodded.

During dinner, Jiang Xue saw that Queen Lu's complexion was obviously much better than when she first met her in the afternoon. She ate two bowls of shredded chicken congee made with scallops made in winter, and sighed inwardly. It was indeed a heart disease that needed heart medicine.

After the meal, Queen Lu felt much better and asked Jiang Xue and Jiang Yu to talk to her for a while.

Seeing that the time had come, Jiang Xue said as if she had accidentally remembered it, "I should have reported something to my mother as soon as possible, but I was really careless and I forgot about it these days."

Lu Qiongshuang asked: "What's the matter?"

"The mother-in-law's mother is still in the east of the river and has not been picked up. I thought that a woman should also fulfill her filial duty for the prince-in-law, so I thought it would be better to issue an order from the palace and send a team of people to pick up my aunt. Firstly, it can show the sincerity of the sons and ministers, and secondly, it can also show the kindness of the royal family. What does the queen think?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and suppressed the doubts in his heart. He only felt that Jiang Xue must have another plan.

Lu Congfang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, if you can think like this, it means you have grown up."

She turned to Dong Shupei and said, "Let's arrange it and go to Hedong to pick up people with my order."

Jiang Xue interrupted: "My son also wants to pick two smart people from the house to go with him, so that he can take care of my aunt on the way."

Queen Lu nodded and said, "Then let the team go to Gu's Mansion tomorrow, take the people you choose, and set off together."

Jiang Xueshi bowed down and said, "Thank you, mother, for your kindness."

The two of them sat and comforted Queen Lu for a while, almost saying that Lu Xiang was already alive and kicking. Seeing Queen Lu's smile spread out, the two of them relaxed and said goodbye to her.

Dong Shupei sent Jiang Xue to Xuanhua Gate. Jiang Xue whispered, "Auntie, if anyone from the Lu family comes to visit the Queen these days, they will all refuse."

Dong Shupei nodded.

After getting on the carriage, Fu Dong asked: "Your Highness, do you want to go back to the mansion directly?"

"Well," Jiang Xue leaned on the wall of the car, closed her eyes a little tiredly, and said softly, "Let Xu Chong think of a way to go to the temple clothing store to find Jing Ye for me."

Back in Wenqingxuan, Jiang Xue was thinking about undressing and soaking in hot water first, then suddenly thought of Jing Ye on the roof while taking a bath that night.

She shivered and decided to sit down and wait for a while.

Not long after, a black shadow jumped in from the window.

"Your Majesty," Jiang Xue said helplessly, "I have a door here, so you can go with peace of mind."

Jing Ye was dressed in black robes and said nothing, looking even more scary in the dim candlelight.

Jiang Xue hurriedly asked Fu Dong to come in and light more lamps.

The two of them sat down in the room. Jing Ye looked at her tired expression in silence, and after a while he asked:

"What are you doing looking for a lonely person?"

"Does the prince have extra manpower? Lend me some."
