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

Feng Tianyu smiled bitterly: "Princess, the look in that girl's eyes reminded me of my sister Tianyue. I couldn't save Tianyue's life back then, and I still feel guilty about it, so I can't just stand by and watch her."

The Feng family has two young ladies: the eldest daughter Tianyue and the second daughter Tianqing. Jiang Xue remembered that Xiao Zhan once said that Tianyue had been weak and sick since childhood and needed to take medicine for a long time to maintain her life.

One day, the Feng family heard that there was a famous doctor in the southwest who could treat this type of disease, so they sent Feng Tianyu to seek medical treatment.

However, on the way to the southwest, Feng Tianyu suddenly fell seriously ill and delayed his journey.

When he finally invited the miracle doctor back to the capital, Tianyue had already passed away.

Feng Tianyu felt deeply guilty and thought that if he had not been sick, he might have been able to save Tianyue.

Therefore, when he said that the girl's eyes looked very much like Feng Tianyue, Jiang Xue stopped talking. In Feng Tianyu's mind, saving this girl might be a way to make up for his past regrets.

From then on, Jiang Xue no longer asked about the matter, but secretly sent someone to keep an eye on the girl's situation.

Because her identity is unknown, extra vigilance is required.

A few months later, Feng Tianyu sent the girl away.

Jiang Xue noticed that the girl looked back frequently as she left, her eyes full of nostalgia. Jiang Xue knew the emotion revealed in her eyes.

Later I learned that the girl claimed to be from Western Xia.

It was not until now that Jiang Xue recognized through a painting that the girl was actually Princess Wuyou.

Jiang Xue had a guess in her mind. Unless Princess Wuyou deliberately found someone who looked similar to Feng Tianyu to impersonate her, Wanyan Yucheng must be Feng Tianyu himself.

She wondered how Princess Wuyou brought Feng Tianyu back to Xixia?

And why did Feng Tianyu, as a descendant of a loyal minister, become the son-in-law of an enemy country?

Fu Dong asked: "Sister, if Wanyan Yucheng is really Feng Tianyu, what should we do?"

Jiang Xue replied: "Yun Che should have recognized him, after all, he is his biological second cousin.

Let's leave this matter to him. However, there are many suspicious points about Feng Tianyu, so we have to continue to investigate secretly to ensure that nothing is missed."

She and Feng Tianyu have worked together at the border for many years and know him well.

If he had not been forced to do so, he would never have stayed in the enemy country, let alone married a princess from the enemy country when he already had a family.

But now she had no time to delve into the matter. The important thing was to act according to the plan and get close to Yelu Ren as soon as possible.

Before Xiao Zhan could take action, Yelu Jun had already sent someone to invite him to meet him. Since the other party took the initiative to extend an olive branch, Xiao Zhan was naturally happy to cooperate.

After receiving the post, Xiao Zhan and Qing Feng went to Yelu Jun's residence.

As soon as they arrived at the door, someone greeted them and led them to the study. Yelu Jun was sitting by the window, stroking a chess piece in his hand.

"Qian Kingdom's Xiao Zhan pays homage to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." He said respectfully.

Yelu Jun raised his head with a smile in his eyes: "I heard that Prime Minister Xiao is an extraordinary chess player. He even played chess with my second brother a few days ago. I came here today to ask for advice."

Xiao Zhan responded with a smile and sat down opposite him: "It is an honor for me to be able to spar with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

"Then I won't be polite."

Yelu Jun made the first move: "Prime Minister Xiao, you won't mind if I make the first move, right?"

"It's just a step ahead, it won't be a problem."

Xiao Zhan also placed a chess piece: "A chess game is like a war. The first move may not necessarily determine the outcome."

"Wonderful! The chess game is like a war."

Yelu Jun nodded in approval: "This prince has been in battle for many years and has a deep understanding of this. It seems that Prime Minister Xiao has not only made achievements in political affairs, but also has unique insights in military affairs."

"I don't deserve it, but I have learned a little bit and I am reluctant to use it here today."

Yelu Jun smiled meaningfully: "You are too modest. If you were not truly talented and knowledgeable, why would the late emperor have entrusted you with such an important task?"

Xiao Zhan smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Fourth Prince."

As the chess game unfolded, Yelu Jun continued, "I had the honor of meeting the Queen Mother when I visited Qian Kingdom last time. Her elegance and grace were unforgettable. The people of Qian Kingdom's Feng Mansion, both men and women, are outstanding and extraordinary."

"What a coincidence! Before leaving Qian Country, the Queen Mother also mentioned His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

Xiao Zhan answered, secretly pondering his next strategy.

Yelu Jun chuckled, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "This prince is very curious and wants to know what the 'I' that the Queen Mother mentioned looks like."

Xiao Zhan said slowly: "The Queen Mother praised you, saying that the Fourth Prince has both courage and insight, and is a man who can accomplish great things."

After a brief pause, he seemed to remember something: "She also specifically asked me to bring you a message."

"Oh? What?" Yelu Jun asked curiously.

Xiao Zhan just smiled: "Well, I can't remember what you said at the moment."

Yelu Jun was not angry, but gently put down a chess piece: "It doesn't matter, there is plenty of time today, I believe you will remember it sooner or later."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard hurried in and reported: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, the consort Wanyan Yucheng wants to see you."

This sudden visit made Yelu Jun slightly startled: "Why is he here?"

"It turns out that the prince consort was asked by the princess to bring two jugs of fine wine. The princess received these two jugs of fine wine yesterday and specially asked the prince consort to deliver them."

A warm feeling arose in Yelu Jun's heart.

His ex-wife was gentle and kind when she was alive. After discovering Min-jin's secret, she took special care of her.

Minzhen was grateful to her fourth sister-in-law. The two had a close relationship and often gave each other gifts. They were used to this.

"This prince is playing chess with Prime Minister Xiao and cannot be free. You can take the prince consort directly to the study."

"As ordered."

The guards responded and soon brought Wanyan Yucheng back.

When he saw Xiao Zhan, Wanyan Yucheng did not show any surprise. It was obvious that he had known in advance that the other party was here.

"Prince Consort, since you also know chess, why don't you come and take a look at this game and give some advice?"

Yelu Jun invited him with a smile, but he actually knew that his chess skills were not good and he was a little overwhelmed at the moment.

Wanyan Yucheng stepped forward and looked at the chessboard, but said nothing.

"How should I go now?" Yelu Jun couldn't help but ask.

Wanyan Yucheng smiled slightly and replied, "Fourth brother, watching chess without saying a word is the way of a gentleman."

Yelu Jun laughed and said, "I have never been a gentleman."

He turned to Feng Tianyu and said earnestly: "Tell me what to do next, don't let me be defeated so quickly."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Tianyu dropped the chess piece in Yelu Jun's hand.

At that moment, his thoughts drifted back to the past, recalling the scene of playing chess with a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, whose eyebrows and eyes were so similar to Xiao Zhan.

Feng Tianyu looked up at Xiao Zhan and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of intimacy with him.

This feeling is strong yet vague, as if it is within reach, yet out of reach.

"This move by the Prince Consort is really brilliant!"

Yelu Jun laughed loudly and praised: "You have brought hope back to my desperate situation. It seems that we still have fun."

Xiao Zhan nodded slightly and replied calmly: "Yes."
