Then if TTJ knew that YXW tried to kill him..why did he agree to marry her even after knowing she had ulterior motives
It happened really different in the novel, so I can't say for sure how it'll play it out in the drama.
In the novel XL was killed, while the marriage part happened somewhat later with a lot of stuff in between. In the drama, I'm not sure how they'll reconcile but I'm pretty sure they'll make XL's death harden LSS's heart against TTJ just like in the novel.
Can someone please explain me why TTJ used YXW. To kill XL as TTJ already knows that XXW will hate him for this...maybe leave him still he decided to kill XL that too using YXW..And of he was insecure should he kiss YXW for betraying him
The novel and the drama are very different in this matter. The main points exist in the novel but the characters are not the way they are portrayed in the novel. Tantaijin is evil. Until the evil bone is taken out from his body he was supposed to remain evil. It was simply that in the novel Tantaijin becomes really attached to Ye Xiwu and starts growing the love threads but that is inconsequential to him being 'Evil'. Tantaijin in the novel wanted Ye Xiwu to not leave his side ever. Hence when she said she wanted to be his Empress, Tantaijin agreed to make her so, in the belief and want that she would never leave his side.
However, the drama Tantaijin is not portrayed as Evil at all, he is extremely pitiful and might I say downright justiciable, drama Tantaijin already knows that he loves Ye Xiwu. The premise of the drama is based on misunderstandings, but the novel wasn't based on any misunderstanding at all. o your answer may only be available in the episode.

Marriage between YBC and TTJ happened 6 months after XL died. Then around 3 more months for the wedding between TTJ and YXW.

It is still marriage as she is his second wife , namely concubine with the title Madame (second after Empress).
Chinese historically were monogamous in marriage. The wife is the wife and everyone else is not a wife, but concubines or servants or slaves. The status is not the same. Not even remotely the same. Why do you think Ye Bing Chang and Ye Xiwu were treated so differently. One man can only have 1 official wife at one time the rest were not wife. Hence, who the Empress was also mattered. Because the official wife is the head of the household and the harem and the mother of the nation. The distinction between a 'wife' and other women is important in the novel, the drama and while watching any and all historical/mythological Chinese material.
Not being 'the wife' and/or the child of 'the wife' was what made Ye Bing Chang insecure about her position in the Ye household as well as Tantaijin's harem.
In my opinion.
p.s sorry for the rant.
