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

Her eyes lingered on his hand, and she saw Shangguan Jin's body stiffen slightly. This woman really made him hate and respect her at the same time.

Shangguan Jin clenched his hands tightly, hatred growing in his eyes.

Does she still want to hurt him? No way!

"Your leg……"

It was not until this moment that Jiang Chen realized that Shangguan Jin had been sitting in a wheelchair from the beginning, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Noticing his gaze, Shangguan Jin's expression changed slightly, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, which was completely different from his previous hatred towards Jiang Xue.

Huaichen, you still care about me, right?

Feeling this burning gaze, Jiang Xue suddenly fell silent, frowned, and looked away.

He was just surprised at the condition of Shangguan Jin's legs and didn't understand why the other party had such an expression.

This kind of gaze made Jiang Chen feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it in front of so many people. He could only suppress his disgust and ignore the gaze that made him uncomfortable.

"My legs are like this, all thanks to your good sister."

Back then in the dungeon, if it weren’t for Jiang Xue, how could the boulder have fallen on his legs!

These days, he suffered a lot in order to restore his legs, but the imperial physician told him that everything was irreversible.

In this life, he will never be able to leave this damn wheelchair! All of this was caused by Jiang Xue!

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't coveted things he didn't deserve, he wouldn't have ended up like this." Jiang Xue interrupted coldly.

Looking around, they have attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Your Highness, the gifts have been delivered and the greetings have been made. Please return to your seat to avoid any speculation."

The banquet was attended by elites from various countries, ostensibly to celebrate her wedding, but in reality to gather intelligence. Any anomaly would be keenly captured by them.

If they knew what Shangguan Jin had done to his brother in the past, not only would his brother lose face, but the Qian Kingdom would also be in trouble, and even affect its in-law relationship with Bei Ling.

"What is the Queen afraid of?" Shangguan Jin understood Jiang Xue's thoughts and felt a little proud. He deliberately stirred up trouble to make Jiang Xue uneasy.

"What are the Crown Prince and Jiang Xue talking about? They look so friendly."

At this time, Xiao Zhan and Si Ruochen came over and stood naturally in front of Shangguan Jin, cleverly distanced him from Jiang Xue and his sister.

When Shangguan Jin started talking to Jiang Xue, Xiao Zhan's eyes were fixed on them.

He knew Shangguan Jin had ill intentions towards Jiang Xue, but he could not take immediate action to protect her. This was the wedding scene, and the guests around were all political veterans with deep scheming.

If he showed too much attention to Jiang Xue, she might be seen as his weakness and become a target of attack by others.

Beiling Kingdom has dominated the Ten Kingdoms for many years, and other countries are eyeing it covetously.

Xiao Zhan didn't want to put Jiang Xue in danger. What's more, Jiang Xue was an independent and strong person who didn't like being treated like a fragile bird and hidden under the safe wings.

She is an eagle with her own claws and the ability to fly in the sky, and she has her own rules of survival. Therefore, he chose to give Jiang Xue time and let her solve the problem in her own way.

It was not until he saw the red coral beads on the ground and Shangguan Jin's insult to Jiang Xue that Xiao Zhan knew it was time to intervene.

The guests had all learned about the relevant background in advance. They knew that Jiang Xue had been humiliated as a hostage in Beiling, and they also knew about the grudge between Hong Shanhuzhu and Xiao Min at the winter banquet.

Therefore, they understood that Shangguan Jin's behavior was not only a challenge to Jiang Xue, but also a provocation to Xiao Zhan himself.

"What a great show! The Crown Prince of Beixi openly humiliated the new Queen of Beiling at the wedding banquet. I wonder how the Emperor of Beiling will respond?"

The guests whispered, waiting for Xiao Zhan's reaction.

Facing Xiao Zhan, Shangguan Jin once again showed a hypocritical smile, turned his gaze from Jiang Xue to Xiao Zhan, and stared at him for a long time.

This kind of gaze made Xiao Zhan feel unhappy, so he pulled up the sunglasses beside him to block Shangguan Jin's sight.

"I am only giving the Queen a gift out of kindness. There is no need for Emperor Bei Ling to be too nervous, right?" Shangguan Jin shifted his gaze to Xiao Zhan and said.

"I am just concerned about the Queen. She has been working very hard these past few days to prepare for the wedding banquet, and I am worried about her health.

If she is not feeling well, my mood will be affected. Today is a happy day, I hope everything goes well, don’t I? "

Xiao Zhan's words not only expressed his concern for Jiang Xue, but also reminded everyone to respect her status and not offend her easily.

Shangguan Jin heard the warning in the words and realized that continuing to exert pressure might lead to adverse consequences.

Considering that Xiao Zhan had endured for twenty years before overthrowing the previous emperor Xiao Yan, and was definitely not an easy person to meet, Shangguan Jin decided to restrain his anger, raised his glass with a smile, drank a glass with Xiao Zhan, and then returned to his seat.

The contest between masters may appear calm on the surface, but in their hearts they are already turbulent.

The two seemed to be drinking together happily, but the old and new hatreds between them became deeper and deeper.

After Shangguan Jin returned to his seat, Xiao Zhan gently put his arm around Jiang Xue's waist and asked about her condition with concern.

"It's okay." She smiled gently, trying to reassure him.

Xiao Zhan noticed the red coral beads scattered around her feet, his brows furrowed, and he quickly picked her up to prevent her from accidentally stepping on these potential dangers like the maids just now.

Considering she was pregnant, safety was of utmost importance.

"Someone, clean this place up!" he ordered, making sure every bead was picked up.

The small chaos created by Shangguan Jin was easily resolved by Xiao Zhan, and the wedding banquet continued smoothly. Envoys from various countries and royal family members chatted and laughed at the banquet, exchanging the latest news and intelligence.

Not far away, a Beiling nobleman started spreading some rumors about the Beiling Emperor and the new Queen because he was drunk. He mentioned that they had a child, but the child was said to have been sent away for some reason.

When Shangguan Jin heard this, he tightened the wine glass in his hand slightly and signaled the servant beside him to bring the man over.

"Whose family is this young master from? I feel he looks familiar and hope to have a further conversation with him."

The drunk man almost fell on the table, unable to tell who was in front of him, but he still couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction: "Me? I'm not important, hiccup!"

He looked at the newlyweds walking in the church with envy, and lamented that as the illegitimate son of the Feng family, he did not have a strong background to support him.

"It's great, having a backer can make me so prosperous, hiccup! I wish I could be so lucky, hiccup!"

His father, Feng Ji, had him after getting drunk and having sex with a laundry maid, but he had no status in the Feng family, even lower than an ordinary guard.

His mother paid the price of her life to allow him to enter the family tree. Now the Feng family is in decline, but Xiao Zhan still gives them the opportunity to attend in order to preserve their last dignity.

If there were no other male members in the Feng family except him, Feng Ji would not have brought him to such a banquet.

Today, Feng Ji was busy making friends with the rich and powerful and trying to revive the family, and ignored him. So he drank to drown his sorrows and got drunk without realizing it.
