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

"what!"

A shrill and terrifying scream came from the fire!

Crackling, sparks flying, and explosions rang in my ears!

Only black outlines of the two struggling figures could be seen in the raging fire!

"Love!"

Jiang Xue stood up holding her injured arm and wanted to rush into the fire to save people, but was hugged by Xiao Zhan who came over!

"Put out the fire and save people! Quick!"

Holding Jiang Xue tightly without letting go, Xiao Zhan gave an order, and the servants around him recovered from their shock and hurried over with buckets of water to put out the fire!

"Zhong Qing! Zhong Qing! Wake up!"

The charcoal fire was quickly put out, and Zhong Qing and Xiao Min were carried out from the fire.

Xiao Min was no longer breathing, and his body and face were burned black!

As soon as Concubine De saw her daughter's body, she fainted on the spot.

Jiang Xue kept calling Zhong Qing's name. Half of her face had been burned beyond recognition.

Under the charcoal-black skin were many nasty wounds, the tragic scene was so horrific that it was unbearable to look at.

All the clothes on his body were burned to ashes, and the remaining parts stuck to his skin and mixed with the blood.

Xiaochun and Qingfeng both turned their heads away, unable to bear to see her like that.

Just now she had a stunningly beautiful face, but now she has become like this. It is hard for anyone to accept it.

"Princess... Your Majesty... Your Highness..."

Zhong Qing opened her eyes with difficulty, and forced herself to smile a comforting smile while enduring the severe pain.

Her eyes swept gently across Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan's faces.

“Zhong Qing…” Xiao Zhan called in a low voice, with unconcealable grief in his eyes.

"It's good that your Majesty is alright... This way... Zhong Qing can... rest assured..."

The voice became weaker and weaker, the eyes as clear as autumn water slowly closed, and a wisp of soul disappeared just like that.

"Now, His Royal Highness Prince Duan should be satisfied, right?"

Watching her soulmate in this life die in front of her, Jiang Xue once again experienced the same grief as in her previous life.

She originally thought that after her experiences in her past life, she could at least protect the people around her from harm. Unexpectedly, the tragedy of this life would be repeated before her eyes!

Anger and hatred surged in her heart, hitting Jiang Xue's heart like a strong wind and huge waves.

If Xiao Yan hadn't forced Zhong Qing to come here, she would probably still be recuperating in Tingfeng Tower. In a few days, when Jiang Xue was free, she could go find her and play a song with her.

But now, all of this has become an unattainable dream! It will never come true!

Xiao Zhan's mood was as heavy as Jiang Xue's. Facing Zhong Qing's horrific remains, his guilt surged like a landslide and tsunami!

He had promised the Zhong family elder brother to keep her safe, but now, he broke his promise...

Xiao Zhan's eyes swept from Xiao Yan to the Queen, and finally fixed on the almighty Emperor Bei Ling.

These people are simply beasts who kill innocent people indiscriminately and force people to jump off cliffs!

If Bei Ling continues to let them be in power, it will be the end sooner or later!

Originally, Xiao Zhan wanted to keep a low profile for a while and take action after his strength was consolidated.

But now it seems that the situation is urgent!

Linglong Pavilion was pushed to the forefront by Xiao Yan, he can't just sit there and wait for death!

The only way to save Linglong Pavilion at the moment is to strike first!

"He is just a criminal of Linglong Pavilion. If he dies, he dies! Are you questioning me with your attitude?"

Xiao Yan picked up the mask that was knocked off by Xiao Min and put it on hastily regardless of the pain.

Blood dripped along the edge of the mask, and the wound on his face was burning with pain.

"Don't think you'll be alright once this bitch dies! You were so close to her that she even sacrificed herself to protect you! Do you dare to say you have nothing to do with Linglong Pavilion?"

This time, no matter what, he must get the 300,000 Iron Cloud Army! Jiang Xue must die!

"Brother Third, haven't you ever heard the saying that a gentleman will die for his friend?"

Xiao Zhan stood in front of Jiang Xue and confronted Xiao Yan coldly.

"Although Zhong Qing is the courtesan of Tingfeng Tower, she has always been chaste and has a noble character. People who know her all praise her! Even if she is from Linglong Pavilion, so what? I would like to ask everyone present, who has Zhong Qing offended? Has she ever harmed any of your interests?"

This question was so powerful that everyone present was speechless.

It’s not that they don’t want to refute, but they simply can’t find any reason to refute!

Just as Xiao Zhan said, Zhong Qing did not threaten anyone's interests, nor did she hinder anyone. It was simply because she was from Linglong Pavilion that she was dragged into the vortex of conspiracy by His Royal Highness Prince Duan!

"Even if she didn't do anything, just because she's from Linglong Pavilion, she's already guilty!"

Seeing that no one objected, Xiao Yan was anxious to take action himself and spoke.

"Your Highness Prince Duan, you keep accusing Linglong Pavilion of crimes. This makes me, Changle, very curious. How did Linglong Pavilion offend the court?"

Facing Xiao Yan's roar, Jiang Xue asked back coldly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the place became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Until today, if Jiang Xue hadn't put this issue on the table, no one would have thought carefully about what Linglong Pavilion had done to deserve being hunted down by the imperial court?

Her question directly touched everyone's heart!

Ye Rongxiu was the first one to be awakened by this heavy hammer. Yes, Linglong Pavilion is just an intelligence organization, and it has not done anything harmful to the world like Prajna Pavilion. Why is Emperor Bei Ling so afraid of it?

The Marquis of Zhenbei also fell into deep thought, his face solemn. Not only them, but also Nan Jingxing, Ye Zhaoyi, Sun Xiurong, Sun Taiwei and other court officials began to wonder what the ulterior motive was behind Emperor Beiling's insistence on getting rid of this underworld organization that posed no threat to the court.

The ministers' suspicions made Emperor Bei Ling feel uneasy.

He was afraid that the ministers would ask him why he wanted to destroy Linglong Pavilion, because this would inevitably involve his past shameful deeds that should not be exposed to the public!

Once these scandals are exposed, his prestige will surely collapse! The throne will no longer be stable!

"If Your Majesty cannot come up with a convincing reason and arbitrarily eliminates the forces in the martial arts world, I'm afraid not only will it fail to achieve its goal, but it will be counterproductive. Your Majesty must think it through." Jiang Xue pressed on step by step, and every word was like a knife hanging on Emperor Bei Ling's neck, tightening more and more.

"Changle! You are so brave! How dare you threaten the emperor?"

The queen rebuked him harshly, saying that she was also involved in the scandals of Emperor Bei Ling in the past. If these things were exposed, she would not be able to keep her position as queen! In this matter, she and Emperor Bei Ling were in a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual loss!

"Don't be angry, Queen. Jiang Xue is doing this for the good of our father. Your Majesty, you are wise. You must know that acting hastily without evidence will definitely chill the hearts of the people.

If the people lose their support, will the royal family still be able to maintain their rule? By then, everyone in the palace will be on pins and needles, which will not benefit anyone."

Xiao Zhan spoke slowly, his brows revealing disdain and contempt for the Queen.
