Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xiuchen knew that Jiang Qingwu was angry, but he didn't understand what she was angry about.

He followed Jiang Qingwu closely and held an umbrella for her.

The funny thing is that Jiang Qingwu didn’t know what he was feeling awkward about.

"Don't follow me. I'm going back to the Marquis' Mansion. You go and look after Gu Yanbai."

There was a sour taste in Jiang Qingwu's words, which Yan Xiuchen found ridiculous and moved closer to him with a sneer.

"It's okay if it's a woman, but he's a man, are you jealous too?"

"Who is jealous? Why should I be jealous of a man?"

He said that, but he looked jealous.

Yan Xiuchen pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "When he gets better, he will be put back in the dungeon. The power behind him is huge, and I will use him to fish."

Jiang Qingwu was startled suddenly, paused, looked up at Yan Xiuchen, and couldn't help but think of what Gu Yanbai had said before.

"Gu Yanbai...he is not from Yan State, right?" Jiang Qingwu stopped and turned to look at Yan Xiuchen.

Tan Xi, who was following behind him, holding an umbrella, also tactfully took a few steps back.

Yan Xiuchen held a golden bronze fan in one hand and an umbrella in the other. He looked at Jiang Qingwu calmly and nodded solemnly.

"How did you know that?"

"He said... the emperor was a dog, and he even called the queen mother an old witch..."

Jiang Qingwu murmured thoughtfully, then shook his head and said, "If he is not from Yan State, how did you know him?"

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "My relationship with him is a long story. I will tell you later."

Jiang Qingwu was angry, but he was used to it. His face darkened, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and continued walking forward.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen hurriedly followed and said, "Give me some time..."

"Gu Yanbai said that you wanted to fight for power because I wanted to be the queen, but what makes you think that I want the position of queen?"

"You said it yourself." Yan Xiuchen blurted out. Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but stop and looked at Yan Xiuchen with a frown.

Did she say it herself? When did she say it?

In the past ten years or so, she and Yan Xiuchen had almost no interactions except for fighting and military affairs.

"I...I said it myself? I..." Jiang Qingwu murmured, his head buzzing.

Previous life?!

Yes, in her previous life, she went to see Yan Xiuchen on behalf of Yan Lin, and Yan Xiuchen once asked her: Do you want to marry Yan Lin? Do you want to be the queen?

She replied at the time: Yes, I want to marry Yan Lin and become the queen!

She only said this once. Could it be that Yan Xiuchen is the same as her...

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen with his pupils shaking. Just when he was panicking, Yan Xiuchen suddenly let out a bitter laugh.

"Yan Lin...that's what he told me."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu's dazed look, Yan Xiuchen could only respond perfunctorily.

"Yan Lin? Yan Lin told you?" Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were suddenly pulled back.

Yes, how could someone live his life again like her?

The thought that just flashed through my mind disappeared instantly.

"Yan Lin... Yan Lin once came to see me." Yan Xiuchen avoided Jiang Qingwu's gaze and continued walking forward.

"You said your wish is to be the queen... Only by marrying him can you legitimately become the future queen."

"According to the ancestral system of Great Yan, unless all three of your majesty's sons have no chance of inheriting the throne, then I will be considered legitimate."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen let out a bitter laugh, "As the regent, you can do whatever you want, but you can't sit on the dragon throne."

"If we want to be justified, Yan Lin is the biggest obstacle."

Yan Xiuchen murmured, turning to look at Jiang Qingwu, "I have never told you this because I don't want to add to your burden."

After Yan Xiuchen's explanation, Jiang Qingwu no longer had any doubts.

Hearing his words, she chuckled and shook her head, "This is called, telepathic communication."

"Even if you don't tell me, I know it."

"To compete with Yan Lin for power is to compete for the position of absolute power."

"My second brother is right. When it comes to feelings, I may not be sure of my sincerity, but when it comes to governing the country, you are the best choice."

"Whether we are on Yan Lin's side or on your side, we in the Jiang family cannot stay out of this matter since we are in a high position."

Yan Xiuchen seemed a little dazed when he heard this, and smiled in disbelief, "Did your second brother say this? I thought he would support Yan Lin..."

"Don't judge others by your own standards."

"Although my second brother has a good relationship with Yan Lin, it is precisely because of this good relationship that he understands Yan Lin better."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu rolling his eyes at him, Yan Xiuchen nodded seriously, "Yes, you are right, second brother is right."

"What did you say? That's my second brother." Jiang Qingwu gently pushed Yan Xiuchen, but he grabbed her arm.

"Isn't your second brother my second brother?"

Jiu Ye, who was following behind him, walked quickly. Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Tan Xi.

"Why are you stopping me? There's so much noise in the west wing. I'm looking for my godfather."

Jiu Ye was about to step forward, but Tan Xi stopped him, "Since you are making a fuss, it's okay. Since it's okay, just keep making a fuss."

"The young lady was still angry with Master Gu just now. His Highness finally managed to coax her into submission. If you continue to talk about it, all the previous efforts will be wasted."

Jiu Ye sighed, looked at the two people standing side by side from afar, and shook his head helplessly, "I think my godfather must have been bewitched."

"I used to be so cool and decisive, but now I'm so sentimental and clingy..."

Hearing this, Tan Xi secretly sneered and looked up at Jiu Ye, "Then you must continue to be carefree and don't learn from His Highness to be sentimental."

After being rebuked for no reason, he looked at Tan Xi walking away and followed him in confusion.

The main courtyard of the palace, under the long corridor.

Yan Xiuchen put away his umbrella and looked at the heavy rain outside, seemingly thinking about something.

"It has not rained for a long time. The last time it rained was at the Xiling battlefield..."

Jiang Qingwu's heart trembled slightly, thinking of the night when the Jiang family was massacred in the previous life. Although the rain was not as heavy as this one, it was just as cold and chilling.

"Yes, the last time it rained like this... was when we were at war with the Kingdom of Xichang."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, wasn't Chen Ang... dead? Why did he appear in the palace again?" Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion.

Yan Xiuchen stared at Jiang Qingwu, frowning slightly, "Chen Ang is a member of your army, how could you not recognize him?"

"What do you mean?"

"The Chen Ang that Jiu Ye brought back was a fake from beginning to end. The real Chen Ang was found by Prince Pingqing a long time ago and secretly sent to the capital."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly realized and couldn't help but sneer, "No wonder you didn't rush to hand Chen Ang over to the emperor after he entered the capital, but used him to fish."

"But now, Yan Lin has not been punished. I think Chen Ang alone cannot convict Yan Lin."

"Of course it can't be decided. Yan Lin has the Shen family, the imperial concubine, and the court officials behind him. How can he be easily shaken?"

"Just one Chen Ang is enough to crush Yan Lin under the mountain."

"I will take this opportunity to separate Gu Yanbai and Yan Lin."

"Otherwise, if Gu Yanbai uses the power behind him to help Yan Lin, it would really be..."

Yan Xiuchen realized something before he finished speaking. When he turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, Jiang Qingwu had also come back to his senses.

"Why are not you talking."

Yan Xiuchen reacted and saw that the two had already walked to the gate of the palace. He waved to Jiu Ye who was following behind him from a distance.

"Prepare the carriage... I will take you back to the palace."

Jiang Qingwu heard the voice, looked at Yan Xiuchen, and suddenly remembered something.

"Okay, it's just right that you accompany me somewhere."
