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

Jiang Xue noticed Jiang Xiaoan's arrival and asked with a smile, "Why are you here too, Jiang Xiaoan?"

"I'm here to deliver medicine to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Jiang Xiaoan explained his purpose.

"Send medicine? What medicine?"

Lan Feng frowned and asked, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and said frankly: "I'm fine, I just got a cold poison when I was at the border many years ago, and I still feel unwell."

Jiang Xiaowei asked curiously: "What kind of discomfort would that be?"

"It's just... it's hard to get pregnant again." Jiang Xue said in a low voice.

Jiang Xiaowei was shocked for a moment, then said gently, "Don't worry, Princess. My brother is a skilled doctor and will definitely be able to find a solution for you."

"Not necessarily. According to Jiang Xiaoan, my illness is very complicated. He can only do his best. Whether I can recover or not depends on nature's will."

Jiang Xue chuckled, looking relaxed: "In one's lifetime, many things are gained by luck, and lost by fate.

If Dr. Jiang can cure me, that would be great; if not, that would not be unacceptable.

After all, I have more than most people since I was born. God won’t let everything go smoothly, so it’s normal to have some regrets.”

Seeing Jiang Xue being so open-minded, Jiang Xiaowei felt deeply moved.

If I were faced with the same dilemma, I would probably fall into endless self-blame.

As expected of a regent princess, her mind and vision are far beyond what most people can achieve.

Lan Feng felt filled with guilt, thinking back to the time when if Jiang Xue hadn't blocked the knife for him, he would have been the one to be infected by the cold poison.

He thought the cold poison had been eliminated, but he didn't expect it to bring serious sequelae to Jiang Xue.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry!" Lan Feng couldn't find any other words to express his feelings except this apology.

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "We saved each other's lives on the battlefield. I am willing to block the knife for you, and you will also block the sword for me. There is no need to say sorry.

If you really feel that you owe me something, you might as well have a child with Xiaowei as soon as possible, so that their child can recognize me as his stepmother. But..."

She paused and continued, “Forget it.

My reputation is not very good, and I don't want to bring trouble to your children, so there is no need to become your adopted sons and daughters. Just bring them to see me when the time comes."

"Do not."

Jiang Xiaowei said firmly: "If we have children in the future, they will also be the children of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Jiang Xue turned to look at Lan Feng and said jokingly, "General Lan, your wife has agreed to let your future children call me stepmother. You won't disagree, will you?"

"of course not."

"Then we have made our decision happily!"

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "I've been feeling bored lately. You better find me a playmate, either a boy or a girl."

Jiang Xiaowei glanced at Lan Feng. Such a decision requires two people to make together.

They chatted a lot and agreed to enjoy the lanterns together on the Lantern Festival.

Fu Dong was standing by and was very pleased to see the princess's mansion so lively.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Jiang Xue entered the palace early, planning to secretly bring her brother Jiang Heng to the princess's residence to enjoy the lanterns together in the evening.

When Jiang Heng saw his sister, a smile spread across his face: "Aunt, I want to give you a gift."

"Gift?"

Jiang Xue was a little surprised: "Why does the emperor suddenly want to give me a gift?"

"Aunt taught me martial arts and promised to take me to see the lanterns. I like Aunt, so I want to give you a gift."

"Then what does the emperor want to give me?" Jiang Xue asked curiously.

Jiang Heng took out a carefully crafted lantern from the cabinet and handed it to his sister Jiang Xue:

"Aunt, there are many things I don't know how to make this lantern, so my cousin helped me. But the words on it are all written by me, do you like it?"

“Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. I like it very much.” She was silently grateful to her Yun Che in her heart.

As soon as night fell, Lan Feng and Jiang Xiaowei were already waiting outside the princess's mansion, and Jiang Xiaoan arrived soon after.

When Jiang Xue and Jiang Heng showed up, the three were surprised.

Jiang Xue took her nephew's hand and said, "Let's go."

The night market in the capital is very lively, and the street lanterns light up the entire street, just like daytime.

Jiang Heng had never seen such a scene before. Even though he was usually well-behaved and sensible, he could not hide his childish excitement at this moment and pulled his sister to look around.

Suddenly, Jiang Heng pointed at the crowd and said, "Aunt, look, my cousin is there!"

Following Jiang Heng's gaze, Jiang Xue saw her uncle Xiao Zhan standing under the lotus lantern, with a woman in a yellow shirt next to him, who should be his concubine.

Jiang Heng waved to his uncle: "Uncle cousin!"

Xiao Zhan walked over with the woman and asked with a smile, "Is it fun outside?"

"There are a lot of people, the lanterns are beautiful, and it's really fun." Jiang Heng replied.

"In that case, enjoy yourself. But you have to study hard starting tomorrow."

"I know, uncle."

Jiang Heng held his sister's hand tightly with his left hand, and gently pulled the corner of his cousin's clothes with his right hand:

"Uncle, aunt, can you play with me tonight? I promise that I will study hard and practice martial arts diligently starting tomorrow."

Looking at Jiang Heng's eyes full of expectation, both of them felt a tenderness in their hearts.

Jiang Xue suggested: "Lan Feng, Jiang Xiaowei and Jiang Xiaoan are also behind us, why not call them along."

Jiang Heng also followed suit and asked: "Uncle, can you please accompany me, aunt?"

Xiao Zhan smiled slightly, squatted down and picked up Jiang Heng: "Okay."

Lan Feng and Jiang Xiaowei followed quickly, their eyes set on the woman in yellow.

At this time, Fu Dong snorted and asked, "Master Prime Minister, who is this beauty?"

Xiao Zhan glanced at Fu Dong and said calmly, "She is my concubine, Su."

Only then did Fu Dong realize that the delicate woman in front of him was the beloved concubine as rumored.

She thought to herself that such a woman looked weak and powerless, like a little goblin who could confuse men's minds.

Although the princess has reminded her that she is just a pawn, Fu Dong still can't help but worry that Su will use some tricks to win Xiao Zhan's heart one day.

"Fudong."

Jiang Xue said softly, "You have no right to interfere in the Prime Minister's private affairs."

Fu Dong had no choice but to shut up and say no more.

Xiao Zhan walked in front holding the little emperor Jiang Heng in his arms, Jiang Xue followed closely behind, while Fu Dong, Lan Feng, Jiang Xiaowei and Su followed behind. The atmosphere seemed a little heavy.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaowei broke the silence: "Hey, where is the third brother?"

Lan Feng guessed: "The city is very lively tonight, he might have been attracted to other places."

Jiang Xiaowei nodded in agreement: "That's right, Third Brother likes to join in the fun the most, I guess he is having a good time.

Husband, let's go to the river. During the Lantern Festival, everyone will release lotus lanterns on the river to make wishes. I want to try it too."
