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

He stood up, asked someone to bring a basin of clean water, and then gently placed the so-called "dead leaves" into the water.

The leaf instantly absorbed water, gradually unfolded, and revealed a brilliant luster.

“Wow, it’s really so magical!”

Ateli's face was filled with surprise: "It turns out it really is a treasure. I misunderstood my brother."

"There's something even more exciting."

Atel clapped his hands again, and this time several palace guards came in, carrying in a seriously injured and unconscious person.

Seeing this scene, Ateli was shocked: "Brother Wang, what does this mean?"

Atel said: "This man is a spy sent by the Qian Kingdom. He is very tight-lipped and refuses to reveal any information no matter how severely he is tortured.

I heard that dragon scales have magical healing and detoxification properties. He has both poison and wounds, so why not give it a try? "

So he ordered his men to pour the clean water that had been soaked with dragon scales on the spy.

A miracle happened. The spy's wounds healed quickly. He spat out a mouthful of black blood and gradually regained consciousness.

The effect of dragon scales is truly amazing.

But Jiang Xue's mind was not on the dragon scales, her eyes were on the spy.

If memory serves me right, this person was once a member of her princess's mansion.

There are many secret guards in the princess's mansion, and Jiang Xue cannot remember everyone's name, but she remembers this man named Wang De.

Most secret guards have experienced too many life and death situations and too many secrets, becoming cold and heartless, only knowing how to obey orders.

However, Wang De was different, his smile made him stand out, so Jiang Xue remembered him.

When Wang De woke up, Atel proposed a condition: "As long as you crawl on the ground like a dog three times and shout 'Qian country must perish', I will spare your life."

Wang De spit in Atel's face without hesitation: "You're dreaming! You might as well just kill me."

Atler wiped the spit off his face, his expression instantly turning cold: "In that case, then you can wait to suffer. If you are willing to tell everything you know, you can suffer less."

"Even if I know a lot, I won't tell you." Wang De responded with a sneer.

A Tailer snorted coldly: "What a tough guy. I want to know, what did Jiang Xue, a woman, give you to make you so loyal to her?"

"What about women?"

Wang De replied: "Her Royal Highness once led the army to defeat Tianshui and Xixia, and she will definitely lead the army to conquer southern Xinjiang again in the future. She is the most powerful woman I have ever seen. How many men in the world can compare to her?"

Hearing this, Atel was furious and cut Wang De's tendons with a sword:

"Your princess is so powerful, why doesn't she come to save you? Even if she is powerful, she may not remember a small character like you. It is better to be alive than dead."

"Even if Your Highness can't remember me, she saved my life many years ago. It is my greatest honor to serve her in this life. Your end is not far away." Wang De said firmly.

Jiang Xue was shocked. She couldn't remember when she had saved Wang De, but it didn't matter now because she couldn't save him again today.

Ateli's sister Ateli couldn't bear to hear others slandering her brother, so she rushed forward and slapped Wang De twice: "If you say one more word, I will cut off your tongue."

Wang De was not afraid: "Come on, cut it."

Although Ateli was usually willful and capricious, she still backed down when faced with the bloody scene.

Ateli said coldly: "Ateli, you can let your subordinates do this kind of work. Why do you have to take the risk yourself? Come, take this spy away and punish him."

He was referring to the torture of cutting out the tongue and gouging out the eyes.

Jiang Xue's hand tightly grasped the wine glass, her eyes were deep and complex.

She couldn't reveal her identity tonight, and even though she was a powerful princess, she couldn't help him. She could only swear silently in her heart that she would seek justice for him in the future.

The guards quickly dragged Wang De away. Before being taken away, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xue and smiled.

He knew that he could not escape death, and he was satisfied to see her before he died.

The banquet hall suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.

Atel suddenly burst into laughter, breaking the silence.

"Don't worry about the little incident just now, let's continue to enjoy the feast."

The dancers came out and danced to the music, while Ateli returned to her seat with a satisfied smile, tightly holding the precious dragon scale in her hand.

"Xiaoxue, don't you want to see this dragon scale again?" Ateli asked.

Jiang Xue shook her head gently: "Such a rare thing, I really don't dare to hope for it."

"You're not very curious."

"Maybe."

Jiang Xue felt that Artek's eyes were always on her, which made her full of questions.

But speculation without evidence is just empty talk, and she must find a way to confirm her suspicions.

When the dance ended, applause resounded throughout the hall, but Atek stood up and said, "I've heard that the women of Qian Country are extraordinary dancers. I'm lucky to see Miss Jiang here today, so why not ask her to perform a dance for us."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Xue.

"Xiaoxue is my friend, not a dancer for performance. Please don't mess around, brother."

"I just wanted to see Miss Jiang's dancing skills. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. How can you say I'm making a fuss?"

"Anyway...you can't bully my friends."

Ateli looked helplessly at Atel for support, but he just smiled and responded: "I haven't seen the women of Qian country dance for a long time. Tonight is a good opportunity to appreciate it."

Jiang Xue stood up and bowed politely: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't meet your expectations tonight."

Atel raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Oh? Are all the people of Qian Country, both men and women, so ungrateful?"

"It's not that I don't appreciate it. To be honest, I have been doing business with my brother since I was young and have traveled all over the place. I have never studied dancing and I was afraid of making a fool of myself," Jiang Xue explained.

Ateli quickly interrupted: "Brother, look, Xiaoxue doesn't know how to dance at all, don't force her."

"Okay, I won't embarrass you."

Atel suggested instead: "Come on, let's keep drinking and have a great time tonight."

Artek returned to his seat and raised his glass to Jiang Xue.

Although she didn't understand what he meant, Jiang Xue still responded with a smile and drank it all in one gulp. Ateli felt mixed emotions when she saw this, but for her brother, she felt that her choice was worth it.

During the banquet, Jiang Xue noticed that Ming Zheng and Yun Xia remained calm, as if all the disputes around them had nothing to do with them.

This is not surprising, as in such occasions, superficial harmony often conceals the power game behind the scenes.

Despite this, Jiang Xue believed that tonight's decision was right because she had gained something.

When the banquet was over and Ateli was accompanying Jiang Xue to leave the palace, Atek suddenly appeared, without saying a word, pulled Jiang Xue up, jumped on his horse and galloped away.
