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

"It is said that Wanyan Yucheng was the son of a tribal leader in northern Xixia. Six years ago, the tribe suffered a disaster and he was the only one who survived but lost his memory. Later, he met the princess while wandering, and they fell in love and got married."

"These reports may not be accurate, and we are restricted in our movements here and cannot verify their authenticity."

Xiao Zhan grasped the key point: "Wanyan Yucheng's amnesia happened six years ago?"

He remembered that the battle of Liyang Mountain was also six years ago, when his second brother died in the battlefield.

The same appearance, similar behavior, and the memory loss from six years ago are definitely not coincidences.

The truth needs to be revealed step by step.

"It's inconvenient to move around in Xixia. For now, we just need to secretly observe the princess's mansion." Xiao Zhan said thoughtfully.

After waking up, Jiang Xue felt refreshed, and the complexion in the bronze mirror also looked much better.

She looked at the sachet and amulet given to her by Jiang Xiaowei, and thought that she should give a gift in return to this kind girl.

It has been said since ancient times that the value of a gift does not lie in its price, but in whether it fits the other person's wishes.

At this moment, the person Jiang Xiaowei longed for most in her heart was Lan Feng.

Unfortunately, time was running out and she could not fulfill this wish immediately. She had to keep this friendship in mind for the time being and look forward to making it up to Qian Country in the future.

Jiang Xue led the team out of the pass again, and the sound of horse hooves quickly disappeared in the distance.

Two hours later, the setting sun slowly sank into the horizon and night fell quietly.

The night is as dark as ink, providing perfect cover for stealth.

After hearing the news about Wanyan Yucheng, Xiao Zhan sat quietly at his desk and practiced calligraphy to calm his inner confusion.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped writing, his mind calming down. Now that he had a rough plan, he might as well take action immediately.

Xiao Zhan instructed Qing Feng to prepare five carefully selected gifts and send them to the residences of the four princes of Western Xia and Princess Wuyou respectively.

Although each gift has its own characteristics, they are of similar value to ensure fairness.

However, in the portion given to Princess Wuyou, he secretly added a small personal item - only his second cousin Feng Tianyu could recognize it, it was a private token between them.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Jiang Xue and her team climbed the mountain on the left side of the Western Xia border. It was midnight, when the guards were the most lax.

Looking down at this almost sleeping city, Jiang Xue gave the order to enter the city.

The secret guards quickly tied on a special kite, jumped off the cliff, and used the wind to glide like a nighthawk, landing safely in the target area.

Fu Dong also jumped down right after him, leaving a message: "Your Highness, I will go into the city first to wait for you."

Not long after, Fu Dong found Jiang Xue who had also landed via a kite.

The two met in a dark alley, which was hidden and safe enough to avoid pursuit.

"We will wait here for dawn, and tomorrow we can go to the capital of Western Xia to meet with Lord Xiao Zhan."

Jiang Xue said softly, feeling slightly relieved.

Fu Dong suggested going to a warmer place, but Zhao Qingwei thought this place was safe enough and decided to spend the night there. She agreed to meet with other members outside the city the next day and go to the capital of Western Xia together.

Fu Dong didn't say much, but just silently held Jiang Xue's cold hand, trying to warm her hand with the warmth of his body.

But Jiang Xue gently pulled her hand back: "Fudong, I have lived in the cold frontier for many years. This little bit of cold is nothing. You don't have to worry about it."

"This is not okay!"

Fu Dong said in a firm tone: "The doctor said that Princess, you have been damaged by the cold poison. If you want to have a chance of recovery, you must not be exposed to the cold again." She knew it would be very cold tonight and only hoped to bring some warmth to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "I am so lucky to have a personal bodyguard like you."

"It is a great honor to follow Her Royal Highness."

Fu Dong knew in her heart that if it weren't for Jiang Xue, she might have been dead long ago. She could never repay this kindness in her lifetime.

After saying that, Fu Dong held Jiang Xue's hand again and put it in his arms. This time Jiang Xue did not refuse.

After a moment, Fudong suggested, "How about I warm your feet?"

"No need."

Jiang Xue replied: "My boots are very thick and very warm."

"Really?" Fu Dong was skeptical.

"Of course, it's more real than real gold." Jiang Xue said affirmatively.

Seeing her so persistent, Fudong felt relieved.

"There's still some time before dawn, why don't you rest on my shoulder for a while, Princess."

"I've had a nap, so I'm not sleepy now." Jiang Xue said slowly, "Fudong, come and talk to me."

"What do you want to talk about?" Fu Dong asked.

"What do you think Yun Che is doing now?"

"It's so late, what else can you do besides sleep?"

"That's right." Jiang Xue chuckled. "It's late at night, so I can only sleep. But maybe I'm in his dream."

"Princess."

Fu Dong hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Since you have been with the Prime Minister, you have become different from before."

"What do you think, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Jiang Xue asked softly.

Fu Dong hesitated for a moment and replied, "Your Highness has been supporting yourself for many years, and I feel sorry for you.

It is a happy thing that the Prime Minister can bring you happiness, but I am also worried that you care too much about him and that you will suffer because of it in the future. Therefore, I cannot tell whether it is good or bad. "

Jiang Xue smiled softly, her tone gentle: "With Yun Che by my side, I feel more determined and brave, and no longer as lonely as before. Fu Dong, do you understand this feeling?"

Fu Dong nodded first, then shook his head: "I seem to understand, but I also seem not to understand."

"You will understand it slowly in the future." Jiang Xue joked.

"It doesn't matter whether I understand it or not. As long as I can follow the princess for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied." Fudong said firmly.

Jiang Xue smiled slightly, but had different thoughts in her mind.

Looking back on the ups and downs of the past eleven years, she and Fudong have long surpassed the relationship of master and servant and regard each other as family.

Jiang Xue knew that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, and Yun Che was willing to share it with her.

"Princess, what are you thinking about?" Fudong asked.

"I was wondering what I would do if you left me one day?" Jiang Xue said frankly.

After hearing this, Fu Dong said hurriedly: "Princess, I will never leave you. I only want to follow you for the rest of my life."

Jiang Xue comforted her: "Okay, as long as you want, you can stay with me forever."

Fu Dong then smiled: "Princess, you can't break your promise."

"Don't worry, I will never regret it!" Jiang Xue promised.

The next morning, Qing Feng followed Xiao Zhan's instructions and delivered the gifts to the residences of the four princes of Western Xia and Princess Wuyou.

When Crown Prince Yelu Yong saw the gift, he immediately remembered that Xiao Zhan's sharp tongue had caused him to suffer a loss in the negotiation, so he ordered his servants to throw away the gift.

The second prince, Yelu Ren, and the fourth prince, Yelu Jun, were much friendlier. They accepted the gifts and gave gifts in return as a token of thanks.
