Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The Queen Mother disagreed with Jiang Qingwu's words and sneered with contempt in her eyes.

"There is another possibility, that is, you become a concubine and fulfill Yan Xiuchen's love for you."

"As for the selection of the princess, naturally we need a better person to do it."

Jiang Qingwu chuckled and turned to look at Yan Xiuchen in the yard.

The figure standing under the umbrella was what she had longed for but could never get, and it was something she regretted deeply but was fortunate to have.

If it was just her, it wouldn't matter whether she was a concubine or a principal wife, as long as Yan Xiuchen loved her wholeheartedly.

But she knew that this was not the case for Yan Xiuchen.

"If the candidate for the princess could be someone else, why would he still be alone at the age of 27?"

Jiang Qingwu murmured thoughtfully, then came to his senses, turned around and walked towards the Queen Mother.

"There is another possibility. Yan Xiuchen listened to you and did not marry a minister, but he also gave up the fight for the throne."

"Then Yan Lin and the Shen family will be able to cover the sky with one hand, collude with the Shen family, and dominate the court and the harem."

"By then, His Majesty will either pass away without a clear reason and pass on the throne, or Yan Lin will force His Majesty to abdicate and kill him."

The Queen Mother listened to Jiang Qingwu's words, suddenly stood up, and shouted sternly, "Stop exaggerating. Are you trying to scare me?"

Alarmist? Joke.

Isn’t this what she experienced in her previous life?

Jiang Qingwu smiled coldly and approached the Queen Mother step by step, "To scare? This is the fact, another possible fact."

"By then, you will be secretly drugged and die silently in Fenghe Palace."

"And Yan Xiuchen will be hunted down and killed by Yan Lin because he withdraws from the power struggle, and finally dies under Yan Lin's sword..."

"Queen, do you think this ending is good?"

"Or... now you should just put up with me and save everyone."

Jiang Qingwu's voice was not loud; he was just talking about what happened in his previous life.

But obviously, the Queen Mother thought these were just exaggerated fairy tales.

"You..." The Queen Mother pointed at Jiang Qingwu in rage, but she couldn't utter a word.

"Well, well done, Jiang Qingwu. I'll see if you can keep the position of princess."

The Queen Mother shouted angrily and then left in anger.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu escorted her to the door and bowed respectfully, "Your servant respectfully sends the Queen Mother off."

All the people brought by the Queen Mother were dead, except for Nanny Zhong and the Imperial Guards who were waiting outside Beiyuan.

Come in grand style and leave silently.

Yan Xiuchen saw the Queen Mother walking away angrily, and turned to look at Jiang Qingwu. Just as he was about to say something, Tang Zhi grabbed Yan Xiuchen's ankle.

"Your Highness, I know my crime... I beg Your Highness to spare my life."

"This servant... This servant just doesn't want Miss Jiang to marry in."

After listening to Tang Zhi's words, Jiang Qingwu understood a lot of things.

Perhaps she had realized from the first time they met that Tang Zhi hated her.

"Your Highness said that you would never marry..."

"Why did Jiang Qingwu marry you? Why could she be the principal princess and show off in this courtyard?"

"How outrageous..." Jiu Ye shouted from the side and kicked Tang Zhi away.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Tang Zhi who collapsed in the rain, sighed secretly, and couldn't help but look at Yan Xiuchen.

His eyes were complicated, hiding anger and a bit of indifference.

"You have followed me since you were a child. I have turned a blind eye and let you go before."

"But today, you dared to drug me, set up a trap, and teamed up with the Queen Mother to plot against my people."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen walked closer to Tang Zhi.

"You have the intention of usurping power. I cannot keep you here."

"Jiu Ye, inform everyone in the palace that Tang Zhi is expelled from the palace and sent back to Ningzhou. She is not allowed to enter the capital in this lifetime."

"The trivial matters of the inner house will be handled by the first-class maid Tan Xi."

Jiu Ye heard the voice, looked at Tang Zhi, and wanted to say something, but choked back.

"Yes, godfather, then what should we do with them?" Jiu Ye asked the two maids behind Tang Zhi.

Yan Xiuchen glanced at him, took the umbrella from Jiuye, turned around and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, "Kill him."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, please spare my life, Your Majesty...Aunt Tangzhi, please help me, please help me..."

The two maids tried to pull Tang Zhi away, but were dragged away by the guards behind them.

When Tang Zhi saw the guards coming to pull her away, she kowtowed to Yan Xiuchen and said, "From now on, I can no longer serve Your Highness. Please take care of yourself."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but be moved as he watched the three people being taken away in the rain.

Yan Xiuchen, on the other hand, had a very cold expression on his face.

"Tang Zhi is fine, but those two maids... they also listen to Tang Zhi..."

"They had people watching you, people keeping watch, and they worked together to drag you and Gu Yanbai to the bed. Just for this, you must die."

Yan Xiuchen said as he stuffed the umbrella into Jiang Qingwu's hand and pulled her cloak.

"You really... never doubted me and Gu Yanbai at all?" Jiang Qingwu asked tentatively with a smile.

Yan Xiuchen shook his head and said, "No."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but smile, and then asked, "So do you trust me more, or him more?"

"Of course I believe you." Yan Xiuchen said without thinking.

But just as he finished speaking, the maidservant in the west wing came hurriedly to report, "Your Highness... Master Gu drove away the imperial physician, refused to take medicine, and wanted to leave..."

Jiang Qingwu held an umbrella and watched the figure passing by, feeling a surge of resentment for no apparent reason.

"Yan Xiuchen, what do you mean? You still believe me? No one would believe you!"

Jiang Qingwu felt upset, but he still followed her despite being angry.

Outside the west wing, the imperial physician had been driven to the corridor.

Xiao Liuzi and two bodyguards blocked the way out and kept Gu Yanbai inside the house.

"If you don't get out of the way, I'll make you suffer..." Gu Yanbai's injuries had not yet healed, and he didn't have the energy to fight with Xiao Liuzi.

Xiao Liuzi naturally didn't dare to use any violence.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Yan Xiuchen strode in.

"You have strength now. Why did you need my princess to save you just now?"

Seeing Yan Xiuchen, Gu Yanbai chuckled, gave up on going out, turned around and sat on the couch by the window.

"Oh my, you haven't even married yet, and you're already my princess. Humph, you're really shameless."

Yan Xiuchen did not argue, waved his hand to send Xiao Liuzi and the others away, and sat on the other side of the couch.

"Although I saved your life, you are still a prisoner of this palace. Can you leave if you want to?"

"Hmph, don't think that I will let it go just because you give me a little favor. If you have the guts, kill me." Gu Yanbai leaned on the couch, looking fearless.

Jiang Qingwu handed the umbrella to the maid beside her. Just as she was about to enter the door, she heard Gu Yanbai's words and couldn't help but stop.

"Kill you? I've already killed you once, and I regret it... So, I won't kill you a second time."

Yan Xiuchen murmured thoughtfully, picked up the medicine bowl on the table beside him and handed it to Gu Yanbai, "Drink it."

Gu Yanbai raised his eyes and looked at Yan Xiuchen, and chuckled, "If I don't drink, are you going to feed me?"

"Do you want me to feed you?" Yan Xiuchen stared at Gu Yanbai with a cold voice.

Jiang Qingwu felt as if something was tearing at his heart when he heard this. He closed his eyes and rushed in with a quick step, looking as if he couldn't bear to watch.

"That's enough, should I make room for you?"
