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

When they woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky. It was a rare lazy morning for them.

“Yun Che.”

Jiang Xue moved slightly in his arms: "I'm hungry, get up and eat with me."

Xiao Zhan kissed her black hair: "Okay."

After washing up, the servants had already prepared a table of sumptuous food.

As soon as they sat down, Jiang Xue served a bowl of Angelica sinensis black-bone chicken soup to Xiao Zhan: "Drink more of this, it's good for your health."

"After taking the medicine given by Ju'an, I have fully recovered. You don't have to worry," he said.

Jiang Xue specially asked a doctor to check yesterday and confirmed that Xiao Zhan was fine. "In that case, you should also go to Feng Mansion and help with the affairs. After all, you have been in the Princess Mansion for a long time."

“We should definitely go check it out.”

Xiao Zhan finished his soup and said with a smile: "Xiaoxue, I will go to Feng Mansion after dinner and come back to see you in the evening."

As he spoke, he picked up some food for her: "Eat more. You've lost a lot of weight recently."

When they were intimate last night, he felt that she had become thinner, which was obviously due to worrying too much.

Jiang Xue nodded: "Okay."

Then the two of them ate in silence. Xiao Zhan kept picking up food for her, and she gladly accepted it. The meal ended in such a warm atmosphere.

Xiao Zhan stood up: "I'm going to Feng Mansion first, I'll come see you tonight."

"Okay."

Xiao Zhan took a few steps, then turned around and quickly walked back to her, hugging her tightly: "Xiaoxue, I haven't left yet, but I've already started to miss you."

Jiang Xue did not respond, but just snuggled quietly in his arms, remembering his scent.

This memory gave her the courage to face the future.

She gently broke free from his embrace and said sternly, "Yun Che, you should go back. The responsibilities we shoulder do not allow us to have too many private feelings."

Before she could finish, Xiao Zhan interrupted her with a deep kiss until both of them were a little breathless.

He gazed into her eyes and said affectionately: "Xiaoxue, no matter who you are, you have the right to enjoy the sweetness of love. Because of you, my life is full of happiness."

He pinched her nose gently and said with a smile, "I really have to leave, otherwise you will really chase me away."

After watching Xiao Zhan leave, Jiang Xue was silent for a moment, then summoned Fu Dong to ask about the preparations.

"Princess, everything has been arranged as you requested. We are ready to go at any time."

"Very good." She nodded: "I will go to the palace to see the emperor first, and then we will leave immediately."

Jiang Xue had originally planned to take people to Xixia to get the antidote for Jiang Heng earlier, but she postponed it until now because she was worried about Xiao Zhan's health.

Seeing her bedridden brother in the palace, Jiang Xue's heart was filled with pity.

"Jiang Xiaoan, please leave us some private space." Jiang Xiaoan understood what she meant and immediately stepped back.

Jiang Xue gently stroked Jiang Heng's cheek and whispered, "Heng'er, at first I thought I would never be able to truly treat you as my own nephew. After all, your mother brought me too much disgust."

"After your father passed away, even as the regent princess, I deliberately kept my distance from you. I only wanted to protect Qian Kingdom and wait for you to grow up and take over the responsibility."

“But I didn’t expect that Feng Ziqing didn’t give you the kindness you deserved, but Yun Che raised you very well.

Not only did you not resent me, but you were so close to me. Now I want to tell you that your aunt also likes you, my lovely nephew!"

"Aunt promises you that I will bring back the antidote this time. In the future, I will pay more attention to your feelings, accompany you to grow into a wise monarch, love you and pamper you."

Jiang Xue paused for a moment, then continued, "You can't hear these words now. Wait until I come back and we'll talk. You must wait for me, Heng'er."

Afterwards, Jiang Xue quickly returned to the mansion, organized a team to leave the capital and head straight north.

They traveled day and night and finally arrived at the northern desert border. Looking at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar scene in front of her, Jiang Xue felt a mixture of emotions.

This is the first time she has returned to her hometown since she hurriedly left here and returned to the capital four years ago due to the news of the late emperor's critical illness.

"Fudong."

Jiang Xue turned around and ordered, "Go to Li Er's mutton restaurant on the corner and buy a few pounds of meat, and bring two jars of his strong liquor."

Lan Feng is now the general guarding this place. If Jiang Xue wants to leave, she must get his permission first.

Therefore, she decided to meet this old friend first.

When Lan Feng learned from his confidant that Jiang Xue had arrived at the border, he sighed softly: "She is here after all."

Not long after, Jiang Xue walked in slowly with a food box and two jars of wine.

Although you can't see what's in the food box, the aroma of mutton is already mouth-watering.

"Your Highness, are these mutton and wine from Li Er from the corner of the street?" Lan Feng asked.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "I haven't tasted the food here for four years, and I am really craving it. Lan Feng, we haven't had a drink together for a long time, how about you have a drink with me today?"

"You can drink, but I won't let you out." Lan Feng's eyes were firm: "Princess, I know your purpose."

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows: "I haven't even opened my mouth yet, how do you know I want to come out? Lan Feng, have you heard something?"

Lan Feng told him frankly, "I know that the emperor has been poisoned by Xixia and is in a coma, and you plan to go to Xixia in person to get the antidote."

Jiang Xue immediately realized something was wrong: "Xiao Zhan has been here?"

Only she and Xiao Zhan knew that the emperor was poisoned.

It was obviously unreasonable that Lan Feng knew about this even though he was far away at the border.

Coupled with his resolute attitude, she suspected that Xiao Zhan might have already taken action in advance.

Recalling the night before the breakup, Xiao Zhan's behavior was abnormal, and his reluctance and lingering feelings seemed to indicate that he was about to make a major decision.

Lan Feng explained: "Xiao Zhan believed that only he could ensure the safety of Qian Kingdom, so he chose to go to Xixia by himself."

"What exactly is he planning?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Princess, you are smart, you should be able to guess it."

Lan Feng replied: "He said that he would go to Xixia to negotiate as an envoy and attract the other party's attention, while letting my people secretly look for the antidote."

"Qian Country and Xixia have been hostile for a long time. Although there were signs of reconciliation four years ago, they soon fell into a stalemate again. It is difficult for Yun Che to obtain the antidote."

“He understands that, too.”

Lan Feng added: "But he did this to distract the Xixia royal family and make it easier for our people to find the antidote. Of course, this also means that he may be in danger."

"What if Xixia directly detained him?"

Jiang Xue said worriedly: "It may even endanger his life."

Lan Feng said in a deep voice: "If Xixia has detained Xiao Zhan, my people may be able to bring back the antidote, so that Qianguo can negotiate with Xixia and strive to get Xiao Zhan back safely.

If they don't get the antidote, then Xixia's detention of him would give us a legitimate reason to send troops."

He looked at Jiang Xue: "Princess, when you decided to go to Xixia, didn't you think about the worst outcome?"
