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

When Yelu Shengkang saw his son, his condition seemed worse than expected.

Yelu Ren's eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.

Yelu Shengkang remembered the poison he had heard of that could make people lose their minds, and wondered if his second son had been poisoned by it.

Just as he called his second son's name, something unexpected happened.

Yelu Ren suddenly became violent and pounced on his father like a wild animal out of control. Yelu Jun rushed forward to try to stop him, but was pushed to the ground by Yelu Ren's strength.

Seeing his father being bitten and bleeding all over the face, Yelu Jun was extremely anxious. Finally, he had to draw his sword and end Yelu Ren's life.

Afterwards, he helped the injured Yelu Shengkang up and knelt on the ground to express his willingness to accept the punishment for his impulsive behavior.

The second son harmed the eldest son, and now the fourth son has attacked the second son. This family tragedy is heartbreaking.

Yelu Shengkang witnessed all this and was so heartbroken that he spit out blood and then fainted.

"Father..."

The imperial doctors arrived quickly and could only shake their heads silently after the examination. Although Yelu Jun had a premonition in his heart, the development of the matter still exceeded his expectations.

Although he longed to ascend the throne, he did not want to see his father die so soon. He said to the imperial doctors:

"You must do your best to extend Father's life, and this prince will reward you handsomely."

"Yes."

After finishing his instructions, Yelu Jun left the room.

His guards followed closely behind him, reported some situations quietly, and handed him a portrait. After looking at the portrait, Yelu Jun's face became extremely gloomy.

"Immediately seal off the envoy's villa and search the entire city. No matter how difficult it is, we must find this person."

He knew very well that there were undercurrents in the city and that someone must be manipulating everything behind the scenes.

What surprised him most was that the person behind the scenes was actually Jiang Xue. Her boldness shocked him.

Whether it was the hatred of the country or the grudges of the family, if he caught her this time, he would not let her go easily. Thinking of this, Yelu Jun tore up the portrait angrily. He did not believe that there were two people in the world who looked so similar. Even if the woman in the portrait was not Jiang Xue, just based on the similar face, he would never let her get away easily.

At this time, Xiao Zhan was playing chess alone in the study room. Qing Feng hurried in to report: "Master Prime Minister, Xixia soldiers have surrounded the envoy's villa."

Xiao Zhan nodded calmly: "I understand."

"They are so aggressive, I'm afraid they have a bad premonition..."

"no need to worry."

Xiao Zhan said calmly: "Xixia has lost two princes. Yelu Shengkang must be heartbroken. The person in charge now should be Yelu Jun. He will not hurt me."

Unless he wants to die himself, but now this is a rare opportunity, how could he give up his life easily?

Soon, Yelu Jun came to the envoy's courtyard in person. Facing Xiao Zhan who was still calm and composed, Yelu Jun felt angry.

As soon as they met, Yelu Jun couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Jiang Xue?"

Xiao Zhan smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Princess Changle is the regent of our Qian Kingdom. She is naturally in charge of the overall situation in the capital at the moment."

"You are quibbling!"

Yelu Jun grabbed Xiao Zhan's collar angrily and said, "She is hiding in the city. Do you think you can hide it from me?"

Xiao Zhan showed a surprised expression: "Princess Changle actually came to the capital of Xixia?

How could I not know about such a big thing? Fourth Prince, you may have misunderstood. She is of noble status and would not risk coming to the enemy country. "

Yelu Jun sneered: "That woman likes to win by surprise in battle, and she might really take the risk to come to Xixia to disrupt the situation.

Xiao Zhan, if you tell the truth, I can let you return home safely; otherwise, you and your followers will never leave here."

"I am telling the truth, but there is nothing I can do if the Fourth Prince doesn't believe me."

Xiao Zhan looked directly at the other person: "Everyone knows that the Princess and I don't get along, and she didn't have good intentions when she sent me to Xixia.

If she is really here, why should I speak for her? Besides, the emperor is young now, and without her by his side, my position as the emperor's uncle and assistant minister will be irreplaceable, so I have no reason to protect her. "

He paused for a moment and continued, "Fourth Prince, I also want to know if she is really here."

Yelu Jun looked at Xiao Zhan and felt that what he said made some sense, but he also found it hard to believe it completely.

The relationships between people are complex and changeable, just like the alliances between countries. Even if they are in fierce confrontation under normal circumstances, they may shake hands and become friends when their interests are at stake.

Thinking of this, Yelu Jun loosened his hand, drew his sword and swung it towards Xiao Zhan's head - but only shattered his jade crown.

"Xiao Zhan, I won't be so polite next time."

"You will not kill me, Fourth Prince."

Xiao Zhan said calmly: "Unless you want to provoke a war between the two countries, but this is obviously not the time."

Western Xia had just lost two princes, Yelu Shengkang was seriously ill, the domestic situation was turbulent, and Yelu Jun understood that it was not appropriate to go to war at the moment.

But when he saw Xiao Zhan's confident look, he got angry and threatened: "Even if I don't kill you, I have other ways to make you talk."

At this time, a servant ran in and whispered something in Yelu Jun's ear.

His expression changed immediately, and he left in a hurry after leaving an order.

Xiao Zhan looked at his departing back, worried about the safety of Jiang Xue and Fu Dong.

There must be something more important happening that could make Yelu Jun leave so eagerly.

Yelu Jun rushed to the palace and learned that Yelu Shengkang was in critical condition, hoping to arrive in time.

When they met Yelu Shengkang, he looked sober and in good condition, but the expressions of the imperial doctors made Yelu Jun understand that this might be his last burst of vitality.

"Old Four, you're here."

Yelu Shengkang waved at him and said, "Come here, I have something for you."

Yelu Jun walked forward quickly and saw Yelu Shengkang taking out an imperial edict from under the pillow and handing it to him.

"I know my days are numbered, so this is the decree of succession. As for the third brother, I have already made arrangements. In the future, you brothers must work together to protect our country."

"Yes." Yelu Jun took the imperial edict and felt it was extremely heavy in his hand.

At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that once he ascended the throne, he would take revenge on Jiang Xue.

Yelu Shengkang held on for another three days before he closed his eyes. During this period, although the Western Xia soldiers searched everywhere, they could not find any trace of Jiang Xue.

When the death knell rang in the city, Jiang Xue and Fu Dong also heard the news while hiding in a secret place.

"Yelü Shengkang is dead?"

Jiang Xue was surprised. She had originally planned to deal with only the crown prince and the second prince, but she didn't expect that Yelu Shengkang would also become one of her targets. This was actually good news for Qian State.

Fu Dong seemed very happy: "Your Highness, the death of Yelu Shengkang is indeed beneficial to us. I just don't know who will become the new emperor, Yelu Jun or Yelu Cheng?"
