Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Looking at the two people walking away one after the other, Xu Qingran stood up silently and smiled.

Jiang Qingwu left the Empress Dowager's Fenghe Palace in a rage and headed towards the imperial city.

Wanyue and Luo Ming followed Jiang Qingwu closely, jogging away.

They didn't stop until they reached the Jade Garden, which was far away from Fenghe Palace.

"Girl, don't be angry. His Highness really went too far. I was just deceived..."

Wan Yue wanted to comfort Jiang Qingwu, but before she could finish her words, she found that Jiang Qingwu was looking behind him anxiously.

Following Jiang Qingwu's gaze, sure enough, Yan Xiuchen, Jiuhan and Jiuye were chasing after them at a fast pace.

"Be on guard." Yan Xiuchen looked around vigilantly and signaled to Jiuhan Jiuye.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu also winked at Wanyue and Luo Ming.

When the two saw Jiuye Jiuhan's posture, they instantly understood something and silently walked away to both sides.

"Is this acting? Why does it seem so real to me?" Jiang Qingwu glanced at Yan Xiuchen coldly, with a sarcastic tone.

Yan Xiuchen smiled upon hearing this and sighed, "Oh, you are really narrow-minded and jealous."

"You..." Before Jiang Qingwu could finish her words, Yan Xiuchen pulled her over and said, "Shh... Stop being angry, okay?"

"What's going on?" Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly and asked Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen's face instantly became serious. He turned around and looked around, sneering, "We have been busy with the wedding during this period."

"They have been busy scheming all this time, weaving a web for us, and now they are pouncing on us."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, "Is it related to Xu Qingran?"

"The Sang Kingdom invaded the border, the Queen Mother was poisoned, and Xu Qingran treated her. All of these things are actually the same thing."

Yan Xiuchen said, his eyes gradually sharpening, "The result of the poisoning is that the Queen and the Queen Mother lost their power in the harem."

"Noble Concubine Shen has taken over all the power, and Xu Qingran has also won over the Queen Mother."

"We have lost our power in the palace."

"And coincidentally, the Sang Kingdom invaded our border."

Jiang Qingwu was filled with thoughts. He thought for a long time and shook his head slightly. "I can understand the poisoning, but what does this have to do with Sang Country's intrusion?"

"There is something that I have never told you."

Yan Xiuchen's face suddenly became serious. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Jiang Qingwu hesitantly.

"Gu Yanbai is from Sang Country."

"What did you say? Gu Yanbai is from Sang Country?"

"Yes, he is a very important person in Sang Country... He holds great power and influence."

Jiang Qingwu's heart trembled slightly, thinking about what had suddenly happened, and gradually realized something.

"The Sang Kingdom has invaded our borders, and the imperial court must send troops."

"Either the Jiang family goes, or the Shen family goes."

"The Jiang family belongs to you, and the Shen family belongs to the Third Prince."

Jiang Qingwu murmured, looking up at Yan Xiuchen, "You haven't decided to lead the troops to war yourself, have you?"

Yan Xiuchen nodded slightly and said, "Only I can go."

"If Shen Chengshan goes, he will definitely choose Yan Lin, and if they go, it will clearly give them the opportunity to join forces with Sangguo."

"Gu Yanbai is from Sang Country and is also in alliance with the Shen family."

"I will never let Shen Chengshan lead the troops. Otherwise, the soldiers of Dayan will be like throwing meat buns at a dog."

Yan Xiuchen gave a bitter smile and murmured thoughtfully, "This king cannot let your father and second brother go either."

"If they go, it will delay the marriage of the four of us."

"Only if I go, the Jiang family can hold the wedding as scheduled."

Jiang Qingwu closed his eyes slightly, then approached him, "You just came back from the battlefield of Xiling injured, and you still have poison in your body, are you crazy?"

"Besides, this is the Shen family's conspiracy."

"Look, the Queen is under house arrest and the Queen Mother is poisoned. If you leave the capital, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?"

"Who knows what they are going to do? Don't forget, there is still Gu Yanbai in the palace."

"It's better for me to go than for you to go."

Jiang Qingwu made a series of excuses, left a few words, and turned away.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xiuchen quickly caught up with the man and pulled him back.

"So I'm in love..."

"Don't be so nervous. Take care of the poisoning first and the issue of sending troops. I'll think about it carefully."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled back.

"I can handle the poisoning, and the Queen can get out of this as soon as possible."

"None of that matters."

Jiang Qingwu said, looking at Yan Xiuchen with a sharp gaze, "What I want to know is Gu Yanbai."

"Is the Sang Kingdom invading our borders to force you to release our people?"

Yan Xiuchen was suddenly speechless and looked at Jiang Qingwu in silence.

"I don't understand why you kept him in the palace."

"It's clear that he placed a knife next to him."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen calmly, and seeing that Yan Xiuchen looked embarrassed, he stopped asking any more questions.

"I'm going to go see Anko in the inner palace first."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu striding away, Wanyue and Luo Ming hurriedly followed.

Yan Xiuchen felt heavy in his heart as he looked at Jiang Qingwu's back.

"Godfather..." Jiuhan called in a low voice, bringing Yan Xiuchen back to his senses.

"Go check on Hongdou who is beside the queen. She is the key to the poisoning."

"Yes, son, go right away."

The inner palace was where palace maids who had committed crimes were imprisoned.

Hongdou, who was ordered by the Queen to deliver Tremella soup to the Queen Mother, was imprisoned there.

When Jiang Qingwu arrived, the man had already been tied to the rack and was being tortured. It looked like he was going to be beaten to death.

"Stop..." Jiang Qingwu shouted urgently, and Luo Ming immediately rushed forward and kicked the executioner away.

"I am responsible for investigating this matter. I haven't interrogated him yet. Who ordered you to torture him?"

Several people knelt on the ground immediately after hearing the voice, "Miss, please be merciful. According to the rules, we must..."

"Shut up and put her down first."

"Yes." The two men agreed, then stood up and took Hongdou down from the rack.

His body was covered with whip marks, bloodstains, and torn flesh.

Looking at Hongdou who was kneeling on the ground, Jiang Qingwu winked at Luo Ming.

Luo Ming immediately sent away the people in the prison and moved a chair over.

"Although you are not the Queen's confidant, you have become the Queen's close confidant since Lu Tao was sent away from the Queen's palace."

"The Queen has treated you well. If you act this way, you are only endangering your own life."

"But I see you've been beaten like this, and you still refuse to change your words. I think there must be something more important than your own life."

Jiang Qingwu moved closer to him and said, "Your family is in Sanfu Village outside the city. You have a blind mother and a pair of siblings, right?"

Hongdou spoke only after hearing Jiang Qingwu talking about her family affairs.

"Whoever can make them live... I will listen to him..."

Hongdou said only one sentence before falling to the ground and passing out.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu sighed deeply, "Luo Ming, take her away. I want to take her out of the palace."

"Also, check for news about her mother and siblings immediately."

"Yes, girl..."
