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

Yelu Jun's heart tightened, and he didn't understand why his father would say this to him.

"It seems that the only ones who can inherit the throne are you and the third brother. The third brother is an excellent general, but he is not suitable for governing the country, so the future of Xixia can only be entrusted to you."

Yelu Shengkang's words were full of trust.

Yelu Jun felt a surge of joy in his heart, but he was also worried that this was a test from his father. After all, his third brother had always been deeply loved.

He said quickly: "Father, I don't ask for the throne, I just hope you can get well soon. I have sent people to find famous doctors all over the country, and I will definitely make you..."

Yelu Shengkang frowned and interrupted: "I have something else to say, please listen carefully."

"Yes, Father."

"I will hand over the Xixia Kingdom to you, and will issue an imperial decree to the third brother, asking him to loyally assist you. You two brothers need to work together to protect this land."

"Father..."

"My decision is made, don't say any more."

Then, Yelu Shengkang mentioned one last thing: "After I leave, you have to carry out a mission immediately."

Yelu Jun raised his head and asked, "What is the mission? Please give me your instructions, Father."

"After I die, execute Wanyan Yucheng immediately and let Minzhen follow me."

Yelu Shengkang's voice revealed his deep attachment to Minzhen, as if the emotion he could not give up when he was alive, he hoped would continue after his death.

Although Yelu Jun was hesitant, he did not dare to go against Yelu Shengkang's wishes, so he had to agree: "Father, please rest assured. If it really comes to that, I will do my best."

"I feel very tired now and want to take a nap. You go back and rest first, and remember to bring the second child here on time. I want to have a good talk with him."

"My son, I obey."

When Feng Tianyu and Yelu Minzhen returned to the princess's mansion, the morning light had already spread across the land. Due to the search last night, the mansion was in a mess.

The housekeeper hurried forward to greet them: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, after what happened last night, we servants dared not clean up without permission, so the mansion is still in such a mess..."

"Go and clean up Min-jin and my room right away, and prepare some simple, light food."

They had been up all night and really needed to eat and rest.

After receiving the order, the housekeeper quickly arranged for people to clean up, and in a short while, the room was cleaned.

Feng Tianyu and Yelu Minzhen returned to their room to rest after dinner.

However, Yelu Minzhen, lying in bed, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

She finally broke the silence: "Acheng, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

"What are you worried about?"

"I was worried that Fourth Brother's conversation with Yun Che last night might cause him trouble."

"As long as he has nothing to do with this matter, Fourth Brother will not make things difficult for him after he finds out the truth, unless..."

Yelu Minzhen's voice revealed a hint of doubt: "Acheng, is it true that my second brother's murder of the crown prince has nothing to do with Yun Che?"

“If Yun Che has the ability to make the Second Prince willingly poison the Crown Prince, then wouldn’t it be easier to just let him deal with Father directly?”

Feng Tianyu's words made Yelu Minzhen feel that the matter should have nothing to do with Xiao Zhan.

She just secretly felt regretful. If it was Yelu Shengkang who was poisoned, she would be free and share happy times with Feng Tianyu.

"Minjin, go to sleep!"

"Acheng! I have something to tell you."

Yelu Minzhen sat up and said with all his courage: "I want to tell you the secret that I have kept in my heart for many years, because I promised you that I would tell you everything and would not hide anything from you anymore."

Feng Tianyu saw the pain in Minzhen's eyes and stroked her face distressedly: "Minzhen, if these memories make you uncomfortable, then I would rather not know."

"No, Acheng, I have to tell you."

Yelu Minzhen said firmly, with a hint of determination between his lips and teeth: "I promised you that I would never hide anything from you again."

She used to worry that he would let her go because of her past, but now she understood that he loved all of her, and even if he knew the truth, he would feel more heartache than disgust.

"In fact, Yelu Shengkang is not my biological father."

After saying this, Yelu Minzhen felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

She opened her heart to Feng Tianyu and told him about all the harm she had suffered at the hands of Yelu Shengkang over the years.

Feng Tianyu had guessed earlier that she had experienced major trauma, but he never expected that although she bore the title of princess, she was burdened with such heavy suffering.

Tears blurred Minzhen's eyes. She looked straight at Feng Tianyu, feeling uneasy: "Acheng, I don't think I deserve your love. If you leave now, I won't blame you."

Feng Tianyu held her hand tightly, his eyes full of tenderness and determination:

"Minzhen, none of this is your fault. I just regret that I didn't meet you earlier and protect you from all the pain."

Hearing this, Yelu Minzhen threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

This cry seemed to wash away the humiliation and pain of many years. Fortunately, she met Feng Tianyu, a man who was willing to protect her from the wind and rain.

“Cry as much as you want, Minjin.”

Feng Tianyu patted her back gently: "But please promise me that after today, you will not be sad about these things anymore. From now on, I will protect you."

At this moment, Feng Tianyu first had the idea of ​​taking Minzhen away from here and giving her a new life.

But he knew that this was not the right time and he had to act with caution.

In another dark room, Jiang Xue was playing chess alone under dim light, looking relaxed and contented.

Fu Dong felt bored and asked, "Princess, don't you think this is boring?"

Jiang Xue shook her head: "It's rare to have such peace and quiet, how can I feel bored?"

"But you can't keep playing chess with yourself like this," said Fu Dong.

Fu Dong muttered in his heart that Her Royal Highness the Princess had no worries about having nothing to do and could still think about Yun Che, but he was the one who had nothing to do.

Alas, who made me neither know how to play chess nor have anyone to care about? She yawned and decided to lie back on the bed and have a good sleep.

About two hours later, Yelu Jun rushed to the death row from his mansion.

"How is my second brother now?" he asked the guard.

"The Second Prince has been sitting there in a daze, not saying a word, ever since he was imprisoned," the guard replied.

Yelu Jun nodded and motioned to take him over. Through the iron bars, he saw that Yelu Ren was indeed sitting in the corner with a blank look in his eyes, just as he had described.

His appearance made Yelu Jun feel nervous, as if he had lost his former spirit and looked like he was being manipulated by someone.

But what was controlling him? Was it drugs?

In order to find out the truth, Yelu Jun invited the imperial physician, but after a careful examination, the imperial physician did not find anything abnormal, which made him even more confused.

However, time was running out because his father, Emperor Yelu Shengkang, had already ordered that Yelu Ren be brought to the palace for personal interrogation as soon as possible.

So, Yelu Jun immediately obeyed the order and took Yelu Ren to the palace.
