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

Artek's mother had followed his father in his battles and left behind a loyal force. Therefore, although his father was dissatisfied over the years, he could only look for opportunities secretly.

Artek no longer paid attention to Ateli and turned to Jiang Xue: "Miss Jiang, please."

Jiang Xue saluted Ateli and turned to leave, but Ateli called out to her, "Xiaoxue!"

Jiang Xue looked back: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

"I wish you a safe journey." Ateli knew that the journey was full of dangers and was worried.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "Your Highness, please take care of yourself too."

After leaving the princess's mansion, Artek said, "My sister is still worried about you even though she has decided to let you work for her. It's no wonder that you are so indecisive that you can't achieve anything great. Compared to you, she is far inferior."

Artek had never seen a woman as decisive and intelligent as Jiang Xue. No wonder the late emperor insisted on letting her take charge of the government.

Jiang Xue sighed softly: "I was once as innocent as Ateli. That is my most precious memory."

Artek was a little surprised: "I thought you would enjoy it and enjoy the glory brought by this power."

“Power is indeed intoxicating.”

Jiang Xue nodded: "It is a rare treasure in the world. Second Master, are you ready?"

I have everything ready, just waiting for you to act.

"clear."

After Jiang Xue and Artek left, Xiao Zhan also left the princess's mansion.

Although there was a tail following him, Fudong had already made all the arrangements, and it was easy for him to get rid of Ateli's eyes.

He turned several alleys and finally stepped into a silk shop.

The owner of this shop is a businessman from southern Xinjiang who specializes in silk business. The shop may look ordinary, but it actually holds a secret.

Xiao Zhan knew that someone was waiting for his arrival here.

As soon as I entered the door, a waiter greeted me warmly: "Sir, what do you want to buy? The silks here are all top-quality goods. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"I'm more interested in embroidery." Xiao Zhan replied.

"What kind of embroidery pattern do you want?" asked the waiter.

"Can you give me a pen and paper? I want to draw the pattern myself."

The waiter quickly brought out the four treasures of the study. Xiao Zhan simply sketched a pattern, and the waiter recognized it at a glance:

"Sir, we have this pattern in stock, we just need to go to the backyard to look for it, please follow me."

Xiao Zhan followed the clerk to the warehouse.

The man walked to the west wall and knocked lightly, and then a hidden small door opened quietly.

"My master has been waiting in the secret room for a long time."

Entering the secret room, a pale-faced woman in white was sitting there, looking a little weak.

"Prime Minister, please sit here," said the woman.

After Xiao Zhan sat down, he said, "Miss Yunxia, ​​you were not here when I came to get something a few days ago, and today we finally get to meet."

"I have been following the Third Young Master closely recently and it is difficult for me to get away. It took a lot of trouble for me to come here this time." Yun Xia explained.

"How is the Third Young Master doing lately?" someone asked.

“He is kind-hearted and gentle. Even though I had previously managed to uncover the evidence that Atel murdered the previous king, he only entered the palace and had an argument with Atel, and did not harbor any rebellious thoughts.

Therefore, I have taken another action in the past few days, and I think the time is ripe now.”

"What exactly did you do? Why are you so sure?" the other party asked curiously.

"I poisoned myself."

Yun Xia said calmly, as if telling an insignificant story:

"I made the Third Young Master believe that this was a trap set by Ateler to get rid of him, and I took the fatal blow for him."

"And then?" the Prime Minister asked.

Yun Xia chuckled: "Master Prime Minister, have you ever had the experience of loving someone?"

"Indeed."

"What kind of deep love is that?"

"That is the kind of love that is willing to give everything for her, even life."

"So if her life was in danger and you had a chance to save her, what would you do?"

"I would not hesitate to take this opportunity, even if it meant sacrificing my own life."

"I believe the Third Young Master will do the same."

Yun Xia is fully aware of Ming Zheng's deep affection for her and uses this affection to motivate him.

He had already lost his father and mother, and she was the closest person he had in the world, and he certainly didn't want to lose her again.

Xiao Zhan said calmly: "In fact, your poison won't really take your life, right?"

"Yes."

Yun Xia replied: "I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't give up my life easily. But as long as the Third Young Master thinks that I will die, that's enough.

In his opinion, since Atel had poisoned me, he had to resist, whether to save me or to avenge me. "

"But have you ever considered that it is difficult to completely change a person's character. What if he chooses to die with you instead of rebelling?" Xiao Zhan expressed his concerns.

Yun Xia was stunned for a moment. She had indeed not anticipated this possibility.

After a moment, she smiled and said, "If that's the case, it may not be a bad thing. His cowardice will make him easier to control in the future, won't it?"

"perhaps."

"Master Prime Minister, please tell Miss Changle that I will do my best to take care of the Third Young Master. I hope she can keep her promise when the time comes."

"Don't worry, as long as things go well, we will definitely fulfill our promise."

Xiao Zhan said: "Miss Yunxia, ​​I need to see Mingzheng."

"You want to see him? What's your purpose?"

"I want to make sure your plan is even more foolproof, so I want to add a little spice."

"Are you sure?"

"I've fought him a few times before, maybe I can make a difference."

"Then I'll make arrangements right away."

Jiang Xue lived an easy and comfortable life in Arteke Mansion. She had no worries about food and drink. When she had nothing to do, she would drink tea and bask in the sun in the yard, as if she was at peace with the world.

But this calm made Artek uneasy, and he began to doubt whether their previous agreement was real.

Finally, he decided to give it a try.

One day, Artek walked into the courtyard where Jiang Xue lived and found her playing chess alone.

The next day, "Your Highness the Princess is still as elegant as ever." He sat down and said with a smile.

"It's just to kill time. Since the Second Young Master is here, why don't you play a game with me?"

Jiang Xue said with a smile and handed him a chess piece.

Artek took the chess piece and said, "It is better to obey than to be respectful."

As the situation on the chessboard unfolded, Jiang Xue gently placed a chess piece down: "Second Young Master, you look a little anxious?"

Artek quickly denied: "That's not the case."

"I remember when my brother taught me hunting when I was a kid, he said the most important thing is patience and waiting for the best opportunity. It's like this now, isn't it?"

Jiang Xue said softly, as if to remind Artek that sometimes what is most needed before taking action is calmness and waiting.

Artek heard the deep meaning in Jiang Xue's words and understood that he was hinting for him to be patient.

Since the other party has said so, let's wait a little longer. I have already waited for all these years, so I don't mind waiting a little longer.
