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

"I'm fine, I'm just too tired and want to sleep." Yelu Minzhen said with a forced smile.

"Then let's go back quickly, and you should have a good rest." Wanyan Yucheng said gently, and helped her get on the carriage. As soon as she sat down, Yelu Minzhen leaned on his shoulder.

Wanyan Yucheng asked softly, "Father, why did you stay here until so late?"

Yelu Minzhen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "It's just reminiscing about the past, talking about the stories between him and my mother."

Wanyan Yucheng hugged her tightly in his arms: "Speaking of mother, do you miss her?"

Yelu Minzhen shook his head: "My memory of her is very vague, after all, I was only one year old at that time.

Even though my father often mentions her, I can't imagine what she looks like. Ah Cheng, do you think I am unfilial? "

"No, Minzhen, I just feel sorry for you."

Wanyan Yucheng kissed her forehead gently: "You lost your mother when you were young, you must be very lonely."

"Maybe."

Yelu Minzhen hugged Wanyan Yucheng tighter: "Fortunately, I met you, and my life has become brighter. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would be like now."

"don’t worry."

Wanyan Yucheng said firmly: "I will always be with you and never let loneliness get close to you again."

"Acheng!" Yelu Minzhen's voice was full of gratitude and dependence.

"Ok?"

"How about we leave here and find a place where no one knows us and start over? That way we can live more freely, without being restricted in this city."

Wanyan Yucheng gently tapped her forehead and said with a smile: "You, His Majesty loves you so much and often summons you to the palace, how could he allow me to take you away?"

Yelu Minzhen's face suddenly darkened: "Yes, my father dotes on me so much, he has long said that he hopes I can stay by his side for the rest of my life."

"So stop thinking about it."

Wanyan Yucheng did not notice her change of mood and continued, “Minzhen, there is a saying that goes, when a tree wants to be still, the wind does not stop. When children want to repay their parents, they may no longer be around.

I have no chance to honor my parents, so I envy you for being able to be with my father so often."

Yelu Minzhen whispered: "Acheng, my father wants to keep me in the capital. I hope you can stay with me forever and never leave me."

"What a silly girl."

Wanyan Yucheng smiled and replied: "Didn't we agree long ago? We will stay together for the rest of our lives!"

"No matter what happens, you're not going to leave me, are you?"

"of course not."

Yelu Minzhen said nothing more, but just hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to integrate him into her life.

Once, she wandered in loneliness and pain until she met him, and he rescued her from the darkness.

No matter what the future holds, she is determined to never let go.

On the other hand, Jiang Xue looked very tired when she saw Lan Feng the next day because she had not slept all night.

"Your Highness, you don't look well." Lan Feng said with concern.

"Do I look unwell?"

"It's really not good. There are blue circles under my eyes and my face looks very tired. Are you feeling unwell?"

"I just didn't sleep well last night."

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "It seems that living in Beijing these years has made me a little delicate. When I was in the frontier before, I wouldn't be like this even if I stayed up late."

“You can’t sleep because you’re worried about Yun Che, right?”

"I had a nightmare. I dreamt that Yun Che was tortured by Yelu Jun. After I woke up, I couldn't fall asleep again."

"Dreams are often the opposite of what they actually are. Princess, don't worry too much."

Jiang Xue sighed and said, "I'm not with him now, and worrying is useless. It's better to go to Xixia as soon as possible."

"I see the kite is ready now. Princess, are you planning to go into the city tonight?"

"That's right, let's act tonight. There's no time to delay," she answered firmly.

"But the princess looks very tired. Should we ask a military doctor to take a look first?"

"I know my body best. I just need to rest for a while. There's no need to trouble the military doctor." Jiang Xue insisted.

Seeing her firm attitude, Lan Feng did not try to persuade her any further. He just said a few words of concern and left, hoping that she could rest for a while.

Not long after Jiang Xue lay down, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"Your Highness, it's me, Jiang Xiaowei." A familiar voice came from outside.

Jiang Xue stood up, opened the door, and welcomed Jiang Xiaowei in: "Xiaowei, what do you want to see me for?"

"I heard that you haven't been resting well recently and your complexion is not good. I came here to see if I can help." Jiang Xiaowei said with concern.

"I'm really fine. I just need to take some rest. Lan Feng is a little too worried." Jiang Xue explained.

"But you don't look very well. It's understandable that your husband is worried about you."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaowei took out a small sachet from his arms: "I used to suffer from insomnia, so my third brother made this sleeping sachet for me.

Since using it, I can sleep well every night. I made one for you according to the same recipe, I hope it can help you. "

Taking the sachet, Jiang Xue said gratefully: "Thank you, it's really thoughtful."

"It is an honor to serve the princess."

Jiang Xiaowei continued, "Is the princess having trouble sleeping because she is worried about her third cousin?"

"Yes, I love Yun Che, so I am particularly afraid that something will happen to him. You should be able to understand my feelings."

"Of course I understand. I often worry about my husband as well. But my third cousin is so smart, he will be fine. Princess, don't worry too much."

Jiang Xue thought to herself that even though he was extremely smart, this did not make her feel completely relieved because the risks ahead were too great.

She turned to Jiang Xiaowei: "Can you do me a favor?"

Jiang Xiaowei answered without hesitation: "Princess, please tell me. I will do my best."

"My hands are stained with too much blood, I'm afraid the gods and Buddhas are unwilling to listen to my prayers.

So I would like to ask you to copy Buddhist scriptures for me and put them in the temple to pray for Yun Che. You have a kind heart, and the gods and Buddhas will definitely be more willing to listen to your voice. "

"Don't worry, Princess. I will copy scriptures and pray for my cousin. I will also pray for you every day. May you be safe and happy, and finally get married." Jiang Xiaowei said gently.

Jiang Xue was moved by her sincerity: "Thank you!"

After seeing Jiang Xiaowei off, Jiang Xue returned to the bed and gently placed the sachet next to the pillow.

She finally fell asleep in the faint aroma of herbs.

Xiao Zhan came back from the banquet and guessed that even if Yelu Shengkang was interested in him, he would not meet him immediately, but would choose to ignore him in order to put pressure on him.

This gave him more time to understand Wanyan Yucheng's situation.

Soon, Qing Feng returned with information: "Master Prime Minister, we have some clues about Princess Wuyou's consort Wanyan Yucheng."

Xiao Zhan stood still for a moment and said, "Speak."
