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

Yelu Jun next to him said, "Brother San, put down your sword. Let's listen to what he says first, and then make a decision. He is under our control now, and he can't run away."

Yelu Cheng hesitated for a moment, and finally put down the sword reluctantly.

Yelu Jun asked coldly: "Xiao Zhan, what kind of poison was I poisoned by? And who did it?"

“The emperor was poisoned by a poison called Changle that was carefully prepared by my cousin Jiang Xiaoan.

Those who are poisoned by this will experience severe pain every day, unable to move, and eventually become bedridden and disabled. To cure this Changle poison, only the antidote he provides can work."

Yelu Cheng shouted angrily: "Since the poison was given by your cousin, then you are the one who poisoned it, right?"

"It's meaningless to find out who poisoned me at this point. Let's talk about the antidote."

Xiao Zhan said: "I have the antidote, it depends on whether the emperor wants it."

Yelu Jun's eyes were sharp. "You have gone to great lengths to figure this out. You will definitely not give up the antidote easily unless you get something of equal importance in exchange. Xiao Zhan, what do you want?"

"What I want is the antidote to the Xixia Palace secret medicine that the emperor gave to the empress dowager."

Yelu Jun was slightly startled, then he understood: "You want the antidote? I'm very curious, who was poisoned that made you risk coming to Xixia to ask for the antidote?"

He already had a guess in his mind - since Xiao Zhan could take action personally, the identity of the poisoned person must be extraordinary, and Jiang Xue had also appeared in the capital of Western Xia.

It is very likely that the young emperor Jiang Heng of Qian Kingdom was poisoned.

Xiao Zhan asked back: "I think the emperor already has the answer in his mind, why ask me again?"

"He is the emperor of your country, right?"

Xiao Zhan said frankly: "Yes. So I urgently need the antidote and am willing to exchange it with the emperor."

"What if I don't want to? Your poison can't kill me directly, but the emperor of your country can't survive without the antidote. It's better for me to kill you today, which is a good deal."

“As long as the emperor thinks that enduring severe pain every day and being paralyzed for life is nothing, then I have nothing to say.

Even if I die, the Emperor of Qian will die with me, but Princess Changle is still here, and she will avenge us one day. So in our opinion, this is also a fair deal."

Yelu Jun's eyes grew increasingly cold, and his heart was filled with murderous intent towards Xiao Zhan.

But his ambition goes far beyond this. He longs to stand up one day, take revenge on Jiang Xue personally, and seek justice for his wife and children.

At this time, the third brother Yelu Cheng interrupted and said, "Brother, why don't you just take tough measures?

If he does not hand over the antidote, his limbs will be cut off one by one until he surrenders. These scholars are most afraid of suffering. "

"The Third Prince is absolutely right."

Xiao Zhan responded calmly: "But I have already made preparations. I have given the antidote to Changle's poison to Princess Changle for safekeeping. If you want to exchange it, you can only find her."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yelu Jun's eyes: "Are you sure this was arranged by Jiang Xue? Where is she?"

"The princess has left the capital and is waiting in a secluded place. If the emperor is willing to send someone in exchange, she will ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Yelu Cheng reminded: "Your Majesty, Jiang Xue is a cunning person, this matter may be a trap."

Despite this, Yelu Jun knew that he had no choice. In order to avoid becoming a useless person, he had to take a risk.

"Xiao Zhan, how can we guarantee that what we get in return is indeed the real antidote?" Yelu Jun questioned.

Xiao Zhan threw a small porcelain bottle to Yelu Cheng: "This contains the Changle poison. You can test the effect of the antidote first, so that both parties can confirm the other's sincerity."

Yelu Cheng asked curiously: "What is this?"

"When we exchange, you can use it to verify the authenticity of the antidote. At the same time, we will also bring the Xixia Palace secret medicine as a condition of exchange to ensure a fair trade."

Yelu Jun secretly admired Xiao Zhan's careful consideration, but it was a pity that such wisdom was used on the opposite side.

"Third brother, this time you will be responsible for exchanging the antidote with Jiang Xue."

Xiao Zhan continued, "Before that, I would like to ask the emperor for permission."

Yelu Jun snorted coldly: "Do you think I will give you an imperial decree to pass unimpeded?"

"it's not true."

Xiao Zhan explained: "Even with the imperial edict, there is no guarantee that there won't be any accidents.

So I request that His Royal Highness the Third Prince personally escort us to the border city and exchange us at the border between the two countries to ensure safety."

After thinking for a while, Yelu Jun simply responded, "Okay."

After Xiao Zhan and Yelu Cheng left, he immediately called his trusted guard and whispered a few words to him.

Although he agreed to Yelu Cheng's proposal, Yelu Jun remained vigilant and arranged for people to follow secretly to ensure that everything was under control.

At the same time, Feng Tianyu and Yelu Minzhen stopped in front of a dense forest.

He took her hand and they walked into the depths of the woods together.

"Acheng, where are we going?" Yelu Minzhen asked in confusion.

"Let's go meet someone." Feng Tianyu replied.

"who?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

About a quarter of an hour later, a woman's voice came from above: "General Feng, you are finally here."

Yelu Minzhen looked up and found Jiang Xue sitting on a branch, swinging her legs leisurely, greeting them with a smile.

"Princess Changle?"

Yelu Minzhen's heart tightened. She was keenly aware of the tacit understanding between Feng Tianyu and Jiang Xue, which made her wonder whether the recent events in the city were related to them.

What worries her even more is that when Feng Tianyu regained his memory, has he already decided to return to Qian Kingdom, and is his feelings for her just superficial?

Feng Tianyu bowed respectfully: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Princess."

Jiang Xue jumped down from the tree lightly, her eyes falling on Yelu Minzhen: "Princess Wuyou, long time no see, time flies."

"I didn't expect that the princess still remembered me. It's an honor." Yelu Minzhen responded reluctantly.

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "General Feng took great care of you back then. It's hard to forget."

Yelu Minzhen felt that Jiang Xue's words had a deeper meaning, but he couldn't figure out the exact meaning, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Fortunately, Feng Tianyu spoke in time: "Princess, I want to take Minzhen back to Qian Kingdom with me."

Yelu Minzhen guessed something as soon as he saw him.

She felt that such an arrangement was unfair to Lin Yin, but it was difficult to interfere in matters of the heart, so she chose to believe that Feng Tianyu could handle everything.

Jiang Xue said softly: "I wonder when Yun Che will be able to arrive."

When she mentioned Xiao Zhan, there was a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

“Princess, don’t worry. Yelu Jun is now the ruler of Xixia. He will definitely do his best to remove the poison. Yun Che will be fine.”

"Fourth brother was poisoned?"

Yelu Minzhen asked in surprise: "Acheng, what on earth is going on?"

Jiang Xue glanced at the two of them and suggested, "You should talk alone." Then she left quietly.

Feng Tianyu sighed, held Yelu Minzhen's hand tightly and said, "Minzhen, I know you have a lot of questions. Ask, and I will tell you everything."
