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

"I changed my mind."

Xiao Zhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a sly smile: "If you don't eat well, you are not allowed to hug me, kiss me, or sleep with me at night."

"This punishment is too severe." Jiang Xue couldn't help but complain.

"Didn't you just say that the punishment wasn't severe enough? This is the punishment I adjusted according to what you said."

Jiang Xue smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that I dug a hole for myself and jumped into it."

Xiao Zhan gently stroked her face: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something."

The kitchen soon brought in the fragrant chicken noodle soup. Jiang Xue said in surprise, "It smells so good."

"Since you don't have much appetite, I asked the kitchen to prepare it."

This chicken soup rice noodle is a specialty of southern Xinjiang. It is seasoned with chicken soup, served with various vegetables, and finally topped with goose oil. It tastes wonderful. Jiang Xue liked it very much when she was in southern Xinjiang.

Xiao Zhan looked at her gently: "Xiaoxue, eat quickly, don't starve yourself and the child."

Seeing how she was eating with gusto, he hoped that she wouldn't vomit after taking a bite again this time.

However, not long after, Jiang Xue felt her stomach churning violently. She covered her mouth to try to suppress the feeling of nausea, but ultimately she couldn't control herself and vomited again.

Xiao Zhan felt extremely upset, but there was nothing he could do. He could only pat her back gently to comfort her.

After a long time, Jiang Xue's mood stabilized a little. He helped her sit on a chair and handed her a glass of warm water: "Xiaoxue, you may feel better after drinking some water."

However, Jiang Xue vomited it all out as soon as she took a sip, along with her tears. Xiao Zhan was extremely anxious, and seeing that she couldn't even keep the water, he immediately wanted to send someone to invite Jiang Xiaoan over.

"I am okay."

Jiang Xue held his hand and said, "Jiang Xiaoan has already said that he can't do anything about women's morning sickness, so why should he make a wasted trip?

Besides, he should be in the palace's library with Fu Dong now. By the time we find him, my condition should have improved."

"But……"

“Yun Che, I feel very tired and start to feel sleepy again. Could you please carry me back to my room to rest?”

Xiao Zhan quickly carried her back to the room and carefully covered her with a blanket: "Xiaoxue, how about I read you a story?"

After getting her consent, Xiao Zhan sat on the bed and began to read the new storybook that had been published in the capital.

Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at her thin and pale appearance, Xiao Zhan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

If possible, he would be willing to bear all the pain for her, but unfortunately this is impossible.

He kissed her smooth forehead gently, then left the room and said to the maid guarding the door, "I'm going to go out for a while, you have to take good care of Xiaoxue.

Remember to ask the kitchen to prepare some food suitable for pregnant women. As long as Xiaoxue can eat it without vomiting, I will reward her handsomely. "

After explaining all this, Xiao Zhan hurried to the palace. In the imperial study, Jiang Heng asked, "Uncle, why did you leave so hastily this morning? What happened?"

"I thought Xiaoxue was in danger, so I left in a hurry. But she is fine now, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

"I can rest assured that."

"emperor."

"Uncle, do you have anything to say to me?"

Xiao Zhan raised his hand and saluted towards Jiang Heng and said, "Today I would like to ask the emperor for a favor. I hope the emperor can fulfill it."

Jiang Heng was startled and hurriedly supported him: "Uncle, what kind of grace do you want? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you achieve it."

"The child in Xiaoxue's belly was hard-won. I hope the emperor can grant amnesty to the world and accumulate merit for the child."

Today, Jiang Xue once again told him that her hands were covered in blood and her heart was full of killing. The lonely look in her eyes made him feel heartbroken.

If doing so can bring her some comfort, then why not do it?

"can."

Jiang Heng nodded in agreement: "But I heard you say that a major event like a general amnesty requires a good time. Why not wait until the end of the year to issue the decree?"

Xiao Zhan knew that Jiang Heng was right, so he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"My cousin and aunt's children are also my relatives. I am happy to do something for them. Why should I thank them?"

Jiang Heng said: "You have contributed so much to Qian Country over the years, and you should be rewarded."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Uncle, I have thought for a long time these past two days and have come up with a good name for your child."

Xiao Zhan looked at him and asked, "What's the name?"

"How about calling both boys and girls Zhi Ge?"

Jiang Heng explained: "Now the world is divided, wars are constant, and people are suffering. I hope that when this child grows up, the world will be peacefully unified."

Xiao Zhan looked at Jiang Heng's bright eyes and felt that it was a blessing for the country that this six-year-old child had such insight.

He will surely become a wise ruler in the future.

Stop the war, what a good name.

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "It's a good name chosen by the emperor. I believe Xiaoxue will like it, and Zhige will definitely like it in the future."

Hearing this, Jiang Heng was very happy: "Really? Will my sister really like it?"

"of course."

Xiao Zhan replied: "Xiaoxue has been guarding the border for many years, protecting this land with her sword. But for her, her greatest wish is actually peace."

Jiang Heng added: "In fact, I have given the child a nickname. If it is a boy, I will call him Jianzhi, and if it is a girl, I will call her Xiner."

Xiao Zhan frowned slightly. Although this child was very intelligent, he went a little too far this time.

He has already given the child a formal name, and now he wants to give the child a nickname too. How embarrassed am I as a prospective father?

"It's not appropriate."

Xiao Zhan said slowly: "Since the emperor has already given the child a formal name, the right to give the child a nickname should be left to the child's parents."

Jiang Heng was a little stunned, with a trace of embarrassment on his face: "This... I didn't think it through. I won't bring it up like this in the future."

After leaving the palace, Xiao Zhan did not return directly to the princess's mansion, but went to the envoy's villa to meet Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen was not surprised to see Xiao Zhan. He looked at him calmly and asked, "Sir, are you here to kill me?"

Xiao Zhan stared at him coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "You are very smart."

In fact, going to see Jiang Xue today did save his life temporarily.

Yun Zhen smiled slightly: "So you came here specifically to praise me, I am really flattered."

Xiao Zhan said bluntly: "If Xiaoxue hadn't stopped you, you would be dead now. But you only have one chance. If there is a next time, no one can save you, not even Xiaoxue."

"So, what exactly do you mean by rules?"

"You are not allowed to approach Xiaoxue without my permission."

"understood."

Xiao Zhan left the villa and got on the carriage. He suddenly opened the window and said to his followers, "Find a chance to set fire to the East Courtyard."

The follower received the order: "Yes, sir."

After closing the window, Xiao Zhan's eyes became gloomy.
