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

"Atai Li, if I were you, I would not be so impulsive at this moment. Staying alive is the most important thing." Jiang Xue said calmly.

"Stop pretending to be a nice guy here!"

Ateli snorted coldly: "Jiang Xue, I hate you."

"If hating me makes you feel better, then go ahead. But your hatred has no effect on me."

"your Highness."

Atek said: "You are so kind to her, but she doesn't appreciate it. Why don't you let me kill her directly?"

"Second Young Master, it is not wise to kill her now."

Jiang Xue said in a deep voice: "The people we sent to deal with A Taier are all experts, but there is always a chance that he will fail. Since we have killed his three sons, if we spare her life, maybe we can use her to force A Taier to surrender."

"Jiang Xue, you are still plotting against my brother. I'm telling you, don't even think about succeeding!"

Ateli shouted, "When my brother comes back, I will make sure you die miserably."

"enough!"

Artek roared: "*** can tolerate your insults, but I can't. If you say one more word, I will cut off your tongue."

"you dare?"

"Now I am the king of Southern Xinjiang. What is there to be afraid of? A wise man knows how to handle the current situation. You'd better understand this."

Ateli suddenly had an idea: "Jiang Xue, your brother is also a fake identity, right?

No matter who he is, I see that you have a deep relationship. Remember that he was once trapped by the poison I planted. If you don't do as I say, you will have to wait for his body to be collected."

Jiang Xue glanced at her calmly and said, "He is none other than Xiao Zhan, the Prime Minister of Qian State. But you may not know that Xiao Zhan and I are not on good terms. If he dies in your hands, no one in Qian State will be able to check and balance me, which will be beneficial to me."

Ateli was filled with despair. She had thought she could still use this to threaten Jiang Xue, but she didn't expect that the other party would be completely unmoved.

There was a hint of sneer in Artek's malicious eyes, and he said to Arteli:

"If you behave yourself now, you might be able to see Atler one last time. If you continue to make trouble, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

At this point, Ateli had calmed down from her initial anger and anxiety, and finally gave in.

She was afraid of death, but she wanted to see her brother for the last time.

Jiang Xue said to Ateke: “Second Master, please send someone to escort Princess Ately back to the palace and keep her under proper care. At least don’t do anything bad to her until the news about Ately arrives.”

Atek responded thoughtfully, "Your Highness, if we torture Ateli, we may be able to get the antidote for Xiao Zhan's poison from her."

"No need. Since he followed me to Southern Xinjiang, he should have anticipated the possible risks. Even if he died from the poison, it's not my fault."

Jiang Xue's answer showed her determination and wisdom.

Artek understood that Jiang Xue was indeed a courageous and strategic woman.

Once Xiao Zhan dies, her position in Qian Kingdom will be unrivaled, and she may even replace the young emperor and become the new monarch.

However, this was not his concern. His goal was to eliminate Atel as soon as possible and consolidate his throne.

Atel did not expect that in the first confrontation with Qian State, the ally Tianshui State did not send troops to assist as agreed, but chose to stand idly by, leading to the defeat of Southern Xinjiang.

To make matters worse, he soon learned that Artek had not only killed Mingzheng and taken control of the capital, but had also established himself as king and even murdered his children.

Upon hearing the news, Atler felt dizzy and then vomited blood.

He realized he had fallen into an elaborate trap.

Atel decided to return to the capital immediately to take revenge on Artek personally and seek justice for the children.

Not long after, Artek received the news that Artel had died on his way back, and a huge stone in his heart finally fell.

With the deaths of Artel and Mingzheng, Artek became the only heir.

As soon as the imperial edict from Qian Kingdom arrives, he will officially become the new king of Southern Xinjiang.

The Tianshui and Qian kingdoms withdrew their troops one after another, and the soldiers in southern Xinjiang also had no intention of fighting.

The imperial edict to enthrone the new king arrived quickly, and Artek could not wait to prepare for the succession ceremony.

Jiang Xue observed all this quietly. Her years of planning were about to bear fruit.

On the day of the succession ceremony, the sun was shining brightly, and Artek, dressed in a formal suit, walked steadily towards the throne. After years of waiting, he finally got to this moment, and he would become the king of southern Xinjiang.

But just when the ceremony was halfway through, a guard suddenly rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, it's bad! Ateler and Mingzheng led a large army to break through the palace gate and are coming here!"

This sudden change broke everyone's expectations and instantly wiped out Artek's good mood.

"they are not……"

He stopped talking abruptly, realizing that he might have fallen into a trap, and his heart was filled with anger: "Jiang Xue, this vicious woman!"

Her people were involved in the attack on Atai and Mingzheng, so it would be easy for her to mess with it.

"Someone, go to Yuluo Palace and bring Jiang Xue here."

On the surface, he gave her a safe place, but secretly arranged surveillance. Since she dared to plot against him, he would drag her down with him even if they both died.

But when his men arrived at Yu Luo Palace, they found that the guards were long dead and Jiang Xue had disappeared without a trace.

After hearing the news, Artek's eyes became even colder.

This woman must have planned this.

But it didn't matter. Even if she hid to the ends of the earth, the Tongsheng Gu on her body ensured that her fate was closely linked to his - as long as he died, she would not be able to survive.

Soon, Atel and Mingzheng's men arrived, and hatred broke out between the two sides as soon as they met.

Without any extra words, Atel immediately shot an arrow at Atek.

Artek dodged and drew his sword to counterattack, ordering his men to attack: "Kill!"

The battle unfolded quickly, with blood splattering everywhere amid the flashes of swords and sabers.

Artel and Artek had a fierce fight, each wanting to kill the other.

On a rooftop not far away, Jiang Xue calmly drew her bow and shot an arrow, hitting Artek in the back, leaving the chance for him to deal a fatal blow to Atel, who took the opportunity to pierce Artek's heart with his sword.

The injured Artek looked back and seemed to see Jiang Xue on the roof, and her sneer. But when he tried to confirm, she had disappeared. He knew it was her.

Artek was puzzled. Jiang Xue was poisoned by the Tongsheng Gu, so why did she still attack? Did she find a way to get rid of the Gu?

Atel stabbed again to vent his hatred.

"Do you think you won?"

Artek sneered: "We are all just pawns of others, and we are all losers."

"No matter what, your life ends in my hands today," Atel responded.

Artek closed his eyes. He had refused to accept his fate before, but now he had to accept reality.

After Artel delivered the fatal blow, blood dripped down the blade and fell to the ground. He announced loudly: "Artek is dead. Those who lay down their weapons will be spared."

Before he finished speaking, someone on the battlefield was the first to lay down his weapon, and then everyone followed suit, and a fierce battle came to an end.

During the battle, Atel suffered multiple wounds.

When everything calmed down, his body was shaking, and Ming Zheng hurried forward to steady him.
