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

From then on, a rift appeared in the relationship between Mo Jia and him, and General Mo was no longer as close to him as before.

After this incident, the Cao family continued to alienate his relationship with the Mohist school, which also became the fuse for Shangguan Jin to determine to get rid of the Cao family as soon as possible.

"From what Prime Minister Cao said, the Crown Princess is not responsible for what happened between her and the Fourth Prince. All the responsibility lies with the Fourth Prince?" Jiang Xue smiled coldly. These words made Cao Yuan break out in a cold sweat.

What is this woman talking about?

When did he say that everything was the Fourth Prince's fault?

Feeling Shangguan Xi's almost murderous gaze, Cao Yuan's throat tightened.

"Si Ruoxi, don't cry thief. You, the one who started it, know best who is at fault, right?"

Although he was dissatisfied with Cao Yuan's stupidity, Shangguan Xi temporarily suppressed his anger and turned to Jiang Xue.

The key now is to shift the focus so as to buy more time to deal with the situation.

He did have affairs with other people's wives, but this time it was with the Crown Princess, which complicated things.

The emperor knew about the discord between him and Shangguan Jin, and normally would not intervene in their fights. However, this time it involved issues of morality and royal dignity. If he reported it, he would be severely punished even if he did not die.

Now is the critical period of fierce competition with Shangguan Jin, and he must not make any mistakes.

Shangguan Xi's words successfully drew everyone's attention to Jiang Xue.

Seeing this, Cao Zhilan also started shouting, "The Fourth Prince is right, this woman did everything, the Fourth Prince and I were framed by her.

Your Highness, you must make a decision for Zhilan! Zhilan wanted to chat with her during the break, but she knocked Zhilan unconscious as soon as she came in, and brought the Fourth Prince in. She must have hated Zhilan at the birthday party and wanted to punish her, so she framed Zhilan like this. Your Highness must punish this kind of vicious woman severely. "

"You evil woman, you actually dared to frame the current Crown Princess. I didn't expect that you are so young but have such a vicious mind. Come, arrest this woman and take her to the Inner Court for interrogation."

Before Cao Zhilan finished speaking, Cao Yuan immediately pointed at Jiang Xue and ordered his men to arrest her.

"Prime Minister Cao, the Crown Prince has not yet expressed his opinion, and you are making the decision on your own. Don't you think highly of the Crown Prince?"

A group of eunuchs rushed towards her, but were blocked by Jiang Chen and Si Ruochen. Jiang Xue stood behind them and remained calm in the face of such a situation.

Hearing this, Cao Yuan was stunned and looked hurriedly at Shangguan Jin.

He was so focused on resolving the matter as quickly as possible that he neglected to be polite in front of others.

This rude behavior made some officials around him look at him with suspicion.

"What the Crown Princess means is that I charmed you and then brought you to the Fourth Prince's residence, right?" Jiang Xue saw that Cao Yuan had stopped his actions. Facing Cao Zhilan's accusation, she just smiled faintly, with a hint of mockery in her smile.

"Yes, that's right." Cao Zhilan nodded without hesitation.

"Then, does the Fourth Prince agree with this?" Jiang Xue turned to Shangguan Xi, only to see him snort coldly:

"Si Ruoxi, stop pretending. We'll know if you touched my people if we search you. Something was lost in the room where I and the Crown Princess were. It must be on you now. If we find it, it will prove that you were at the scene at that time."

The thing he was talking about was the pistol that the woman had snatched from him.

As long as we can prove that the thing is in her possession, her identity as the mastermind can be confirmed.

"Si Ruoxi, do you dare to let someone search you?"

Shangguan Xi pressed forward step by step with great momentum.

Shangguan Jin looked a little worried when he saw his expression. Could it be that Shangguan Xi had seen through their plan?

Cao Zhilan might be fine then, but Jiang Xue's situation would be.

By then, Jiang Chen would never sit idly by. Once the emperor is angered, even he would find it difficult to protect him!

"Okay." Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue agreed readily.

What a joke, that pistol is contraband, how could she carry it with her? She had already hidden it long before this.

Her answer surprised Shangguan Xi. For a moment he thought she was pretending to be calm and trying to get away with it.

"Brother, if that's the case, please order a body search!"

He didn't believe that nothing could be found.

"Your Highness, please order a body search."

Cao Yuan hurriedly knelt down and asked for orders, and his followers followed suit.

"In that case, Miss Si, please come in and be examined."

Shangguan Jin saw that Jiang Xue was calm, and although he was still worried, he had no choice but to trust her. Then, several older maids accompanied Jiang Xue into the room, while the others waited outside.

Soon, the door opened again.

Cao Zhilan and Shangguan Xi nervously watched Jiang Xue walk out slowly, hoping that she would be implicated.

However, their hopes were dashed.

"Your Highness, we didn't find anything unusual on Miss Si, but we did find other items in the house. Please take a look."

A maid respectfully handed over two reddish talismans, and this discovery immediately caused a commotion among the crowd.

The Taoist priest's face changed drastically, and he held up the talisman to show everyone: "The sin is so severe, these two talismans are blood red, the holder is the culprit who framed the third princess."

Jiang Xue went on to explain: "Based on the current situation, it is possible that the Crown Prince's exorcism ritual made them panic and afraid that their crimes would be exposed, so they came here to plot countermeasures.

But in the secret room, the two of them couldn't help but engage in improper behavior. They blamed Ruoxin, probably because Ruoxin had a conflict with them before, and they wanted to put the blame on her. "

Jiang Xue's words were clear and logical, and the officials present all thought they made sense. With the blood-red spell as evidence, people were convinced of her statement.

"I didn't expect them to be so cruel as to attack the third princess."

"It seems that the Fourth Prince's accusation against Miss Si just now was just to divert everyone's attention."

"It's really shameful. He did such a dehumanizing thing and even tried to frame others. How can such a prince be allowed to stay? How can such a crown princess be the mother of the country?"

Suddenly, everyone started talking and condemning the two people kneeling in the middle.

Cao Zhilan was terrified by this scene. The trap she had designed to frame Jiang Xue ended up trapping herself in it.

"Shameless Taoist priest, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you slander the royal family."

Shangguan Xi was shocked that Jiang Xue could turn the situation around in such a desperate situation, and realized that he had provoked someone who was not easy to deal with.

"Fourth brother, save this for your father!"

Shangguan Jin looked at the two talismans that turned bright red, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

Although he already knew that this was Jiang Xue's work, he could not suppress his anger when he thought of the injustice suffered by Shangguan Xun.
