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

"Aunt, don't worry, I also want to start a family, but I haven't met the right person yet." Jiang Xiaoan replied.

"Why does this sound familiar? Your reasons are always the same. Do we really have to wait until we are old to meet each other?" Mrs. Feng questioned.

"How can I?"

Jiang Xiaoan smiled and said, "Maybe I will find my sweetheart soon."

"Are you telling the truth?" Mrs. Feng asked.

"Aunt, you have loved me the most since I was a child. How could I lie to you?"

Jiang Xiaoan comforted him, "You haven't been feeling well recently, so you might be overthinking. When you get better, I'll go out with you to relax. When you feel better, you won't think about these meaningless things."

Mrs. Feng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then she took Jiang Xiaoan's hand and followed him to go for a walk outside.

But when Jiang Xiaoan thought about her health problems, he became even more worried.

Lu was anxious to ask Madam Feng for help in rejecting Feng Zhiming's request to enter the palace as a tutor, and hurriedly took Feng Zhiming away.

Jiang Xue looked at the backs of the mother and son leaving and sighed softly: "It is said that a good wife can help her husband become a dragon. I didn't expect that General Feng, who was so brave throughout his life, chose a wife who doted on his children too much."

"My cousin's wife comes from a business family, and she does spoil her children a bit."

Xiao Zhan explained: “But she only wants Ming’er to be safe and happy.

I tried to teach him, but my cousin wanted Ming'er to live an ordinary and safe life. The death of my eldest brother was a huge blow to her, so I didn't insist. "

Jiang Xue replied: "If General Feng's last wish was not for his son to make a difference and contribute to the court, I would not have mentioned this. The Lu family cannot decide Feng Zhiming's future alone."

"I understand your good intentions and agree with your opinion."

Xiao Zhan said: "But my cousin's wife is stubborn, she will definitely not agree, and may even ask my grandmother for mercy. I will try to persuade my aunt then."

Jiang Xue nodded in agreement: "This is best."

At this time, Jiang Xiaoan came over with a serious expression.

"Cousin, Your Highness, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

The three of them came to the study. Jiang Xue looked at the familiar environment and felt a little emotional.

Jiang Xiaoan's eyes flashed with sadness: "Cousin, to tell you the truth, Aunt's illness is very serious. I can only prescribe some medicine to relieve her pain and prolong her life. I just said that to reassure her."

"What did you say?"

Xiao Zhan was shocked: "She was healthy two months ago, how could she suddenly become so serious?"

"perhaps……"

Jiang Xue speculated: "She has been ill for a long time, but she didn't want to worry you, so she kept it a secret. This time her condition has worsened and she can no longer hide it."

Jiang Xiaoan nodded in agreement.

Xiao Zhan was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Xiao An, how long can my aunt live?"

"If she takes her medicine on time and keeps a happy mood, she should be able to survive for two to three years," Jiang Xiaoan replied.

"I understand. I'll leave everything to you." Xiao Zhan said.

"What do you mean? My aunt has always loved me very much, and I will do my best to let her live longer." He answered firmly.

"Thank you."

Xiao Zhan said to Jiang Xiaoan, "Xiaoan, can you leave for a while? I have something to say to Xiaoxue alone."

Jiang Xiaoan looked at the two of them, sighed lightly, and left the room.

Xiao Zhan waved to Jiang Xue: "Xiaoxue, come here."

Jiang Xue walked closer and was suddenly hugged tightly by him. He buried his face in her neck and took deep breaths, as if this could alleviate the pain brought by the bad news he had just heard.

She didn't say anything, but patted his back gently, trying to give him some comfort. Her heart was also full of desolation.

She heard what Jiang Xiaoan said just now. In order to prolong Madam Feng's life, she must keep her in a good mood.

And she herself would only make Madam Feng worried.

Although Mrs. Feng is Xiao Zhan's aunt, she gave him motherly care when Xiao Zhan was young, so her importance to Xiao Zhan is self-evident. Therefore, no matter what decision Xiao Zhan makes, it is understandable.

"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry!" Xiao Zhan said.

"It's ok."

Jiang Xue also hugged him tightly: "In addition to love, people have many responsibilities in life.

Your aunt has been very kind to you, and now that she is ill, you certainly hope that she can live happily and without regrets in the remaining days."

"As for Feng Ziqing, I will lift her house arrest so that your aunt doesn't have to worry about her anymore."

Xiao Zhan gently lifted her chin: "What do you think I'm going to do? Separate from you because of my aunt's illness, and then marry someone my aunt likes to start a new family?"

Jiang Xue smiled bitterly: "I didn't think too much about it. I just knew that you saying sorry at least means that we might be separated temporarily."

"From the beginning I never thought we would separate."

Xiao Zhan emphasized: "I said sorry because I can't see you for a while. But I will never leave you. I hope you can trust me no matter what happens in the future."

"Yun Che, I believe you." Jiang Xue responded.

After leaving Feng Mansion, Jiang Xue went directly to Zhaode Hall.

As soon as she entered the door, she noticed that Zhuier's face was full of fear, as if she had seen something terrible.

"Where is the Queen Mother?" asked Jiang Xue.

The maid stammered, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is resting. I will go and inform her right away."

"No need, I'll go in by myself." Jiang Xue's eyes were as cold as ice, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Zhuier wanted to stop her, but was frightened by Jiang Xue's sharp eyes and could only watch her walk into the room.

Inside the house, Feng Ziqing was giving acupuncture to a rag doll, her eyes full of resentment.

Seeing Jiang Xue suddenly appear, the puppet in her hand fell to the ground.

"You...why are you here?"

Using witchcraft is a serious crime, especially when caught by Jiang Xue. Feng Ziqing knows that she cannot escape the disaster.

However, Jiang Xue just picked up the doll, took a look at it, and threw it into the brazier to burn it.

"Feng Ziqing, have you ever thought about this? Many people have cursed me, but I am still safe and sound. This proves that those curses are useless and your actions are in vain."

"You came to Zhaode Hall not just to warn me, right?" Feng Ziqing felt relieved when she saw the puppet was destroyed.

"From today on, I will no longer restrict your movements. You can move freely in the palace."

Jiang Xue said in a cold tone: "But you can't see the emperor, otherwise the consequences will be much more serious than house arrest."

When Feng Ziqing heard this, she was secretly happy. At least there was a glimmer of hope that she could leave Zhaode Palace.

But she suppressed her emotions and asked calmly: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"You think I want to set you free?"

Jiang Xue sneered: "If Xiao Zhan hadn't begged me for mercy for the first time and paid the price, I wouldn't have done this."

"What did he pay?" Feng Ziqing asked anxiously.

"It's none of your business."

Jiang Xue changed the subject: "Don't always blame me for all the bad things. Your misfortune is the result of your own choices."
