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

The sudden death of the prince tonight was indeed unusual and suspicious. He didn't know whether this meeting was Yelu Shengkang's idea or Yelu Jun's own decision.

When Yelu Jun entered the room, Xiao Zhan immediately stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Fourth Prince."

Yelu Jun looked at Xiao Zhan and found that he seemed unusually calm, as if the dramatic changes of the night had no effect on him at all.

He couldn't help but say, "Such a big thing happened tonight, but Prime Minister Xiao was so calm."

"It is indeed regrettable that His Royal Highness the Second Prince poisoned the Crown Prince."

Xiao Zhan responded softly: "But as a person from Qian Kingdom, I find it difficult to understand the Fourth Prince's feelings at the moment, please forgive me."

"It is human nature to understand, no need to worry too much."

Yelu Jun said coldly: "If the Emperor of your country Qian or Princess Changle met with an accident, I would also behave calmly. You are not gloating over the misfortune, which is good enough."

"Thank you for your understanding, Fourth Prince."

Yelu Jun's gaze became as sharp as ice, while Xiao Zhan looked back calmly, his momentum not weakened at all.

After a moment, Yelu Jun said, "When I brought my second brother to the palace to confess his crime, I found that his eyes were empty, as if he was controlled by some force."

"Oh?"

Xiao Zhan responded: "So, there may be other reasons behind the Second Prince's behavior?"

"Don't you know the inside story best?" Yelu Jun asked back.

Xiao Zhan remained calm and said, "I really don't understand what the Fourth Prince means. Please explain in detail."

"You have always been smart, how could you not understand what I mean? Xiao Zhan, my second brother has regained consciousness, don't try to hide it anymore. It was your people who controlled his will and made him kill the prince."

Xiao Zhan smiled slightly: "Fourth Prince, I can understand your doubts, but everything you said sounds more like nonsense."

"You still want to deny it?"

“It is natural to deny something that has not been done.”

Yelu Jun sneered: "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin."

"Fourth Prince, I am an envoy from the Kingdom of Qian. If there is no solid evidence, you'd better act with caution and don't easily accuse me of a crime."

Xiao Zhan's expression turned serious. "Even though I am stupid, I know that if the Second Prince woke up and accused me, the Emperor of Xixia would have detained all of us, instead of letting you test him."

Yelu Jun's face darkened: "Evidence? There will be evidence soon."

Xiao Zhan sneered in response: "The Fourth Prince doesn't really want to use torture, does he? This will do you no good and will also be a provocation to the Qian Kingdom.

The two heirs of Xixia are dead and one is deposed, and the court is in turmoil. It is not wise to oppose the Qian Kingdom at this time."

Yelu Jun asked back: "Xiao Zhan, you said that you and Jiang Xue have always been at odds. Do you think she wants you to come back alive and continue to cause trouble, or does she want you to disappear?"

"Of course she wants me to disappear."

Xiao Zhan chuckled: "But she sent me to Xixia, maybe not to join forces against Tianshui, but to use you to get rid of me and give herself an excuse to send troops. Now that the Second Prince is poisoning the Crown Prince, it's a good time."

Yelu Jun snorted coldly: "You are good at talking."

"No matter how good the words are, they must be reasonable and convincing."

Xiao Zhan said, "Fourth Prince, Xixia only has you and Yelu Cheng left now. Why don't you focus on your own future instead of an external envoy?"

Yelu Jun swung his long sword and pressed it against Xiao Zhan's throat: "You have no control over the affairs of Xixia, and I don't need you to teach me how to act."

"I talked too much." Xiao Zhan said lightly.

Yelu Jun put away his sword and turned around, knowing that Xiao Zhan's words made sense. He should indeed plan for his future.

Watching him leave, Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. He probably wouldn't be in any trouble in the next two days.

But what he cares about most is Jiang Xue. Although he believes Feng Tianyu will protect her, he still can't stop missing her. Only by holding her in his arms can he feel at ease.

After a fruitless search, the guests were released and sent home.

After the night banquet incident, Yelu Jun brought Yelu Yong's body back to the palace, accompanied by Yelu Minzhen and Feng Tianyu.

In the carriage, Feng Tianyu saw that Yelu Minzhen was exhausted, so he took her into his arms and said, "We are still some distance away from the palace, let's take a rest first."

"But you're tired too."

"I'm a man, this little bit of tiredness is nothing."

He patted her back gently: "Hurry up and take a rest. You don't know what will happen next."

Yelu Minzhen nodded gently, snuggled quietly in his arms, listened to the strong heartbeat, and fell asleep unknowingly.

When she was gently awakened by Feng Tianyu, she was already inside the palace.

After learning that the search was fruitless, Yelu Shengkang became suspicious and decided to postpone Yelu Yong's funeral. He would personally interrogate Yelu Ren after he had recovered some strength.

Although Yelu Jun was reluctant, he still agreed: "We should ask the second brother again."

Yelu Shengkang's eyes suddenly turned to Yelu Minzhen, his eyes were complicated and unpredictable: "You guys leave first, I have something to say to Minzhen alone."

Yelu Minzhen's heart tightened, and she really wanted Feng Tianyu to stay and keep her company, but she knew she had to restrain herself.

As long as Yelu Shengkang is still the emperor of Xixia, the fate of both of them is in his hands. She is not afraid of sacrificing herself, but she will never allow Feng Tianyu to be implicated.

After everyone left, there were only the two of them left in the room, and Yelu Shengkang waved to her to come closer.

Thinking that he was sick in bed at the moment, Yelu Minzhen felt a little relieved and walked towards his bed with gritted teeth.

"Do you think I'm ridiculous now? Have you been looking forward to this day for a long time?" Yelu Shengkang asked coldly.

Yelu Minzhen immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not have such thoughts."

"I hope you really don't dare."

Yelu Shengkang warned: "Don't think that such a change can defeat me and let you escape from my control. Remember, I am the emperor of Western Xia. You can only obey me, not laugh at me."

"Yes, father." Yelu Minzhen responded.

"Get out!" Yelu Shengkang ordered.

Yelu Minzhen quickly stood up and left the room. She didn't understand why he spoke to her like that, but she was lucky to be able to leave safely.

Since Yelu Shengkang insisted on not holding Yelu Yong's funeral for the time being, Feng Tianyu and Yelu Minzhen quietly left the palace under the cover of night.

Yelu Shengkang summoned Yelu Jun and asked in a heavy tone, "Old Four, do you know my physical condition?"

Yelu Jun knelt on the ground without hesitation, knowing that denial would be of no use.

He decided to confess and nodded gently: "Yes, Father."

Yelu Shengkang stared at him: "So what are your plans?"

"I am willing to travel to the ends of the earth to find a famous doctor to treat your father, hoping to restore your former health and vitality." Yelu Jun said sincerely.

"I am very pleased that you have this heart."

Yelu Shengkang sighed, "But my body has endured for two years, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue.

I always believe that the second brother's behavior was manipulated by others. Even if the truth comes out, he cannot get rid of the name of brother-killer, so he cannot become the crown prince. "
