Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Hearing the shout, Yan Xiuchen stopped immediately, but quickly came to his senses.

Just as he was about to move forward, he heard Jiang Qingwu shouting again.

"Go, if you dare to leave, I will cancel the engagement."

Seeing Yan Xiuchen stop, Jiang Qingwu approached him in anger.

"We met here, and today we're going to end it here."

As he said that, Jiang Qingwu drew his knife and put it on Yan Xiuchen's neck.

"I regret it now. I will arrest you and send you to the government in exchange for silver!"

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly, raised the corner of his lips helplessly, turned around and looked at him.

"You can't catch him..." As he said this, Yan Xiuchen slowly approached Jiang Qingwu, and his voice became much softer.

"If you are willing, just kill me."

"Are you willing to do so?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at the person approaching step by step, and was so angry that he couldn't speak, "You..."

Just when Jiang Qingwu was at a loss, the sound of pursuers suddenly came from outside the alley.

Cheng An and the guards from Yan Lin's mansion chased out of the mansion. The shouts and chaotic footsteps instantly broke the silence of the night.

"Over there, chasing..."

Yan Xiuchen heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and rushed towards Jiang Qingwu with one step.

In a few steps, he forced the person to the dark wall and covered her mouth.

“Hmm… wuwu…”

"Shh..." Yan Xiuchen gestured to Jiang Qingwu, looking at her through a mask, the moment he met her gaze.

He knew that he could no longer deceive her.

And Jiang Qingwu seemed to be more certain of his guess.

It was the first time for her to see Jiangjiu at such a close distance.

She didn't know if her guess had penetrated deeply into her heart, but at this moment, when she looked at Jiang Jiu in front of her, it was clearly Yan Xiuchen.

The figure, temperament, eyes, and even the faint scent of sandalwood on her body were all exactly the same as his favorite spices.

Jiang Qingwu watched in fascination, then suddenly made a move and tried to tear off the mask on his face.

But her reaction was still not as quick as Yan Xiuchen's. As soon as she stretched out her hand, he grabbed it.

"Don't make trouble..."

"You were the one who made trouble with me first." Jiang Qingwu shouted harshly, pulled his hand back suddenly and slapped him.

Perhaps because of the noise, Cheng An and his companions, who had just passed by, turned back and said, "Who are you? Come out..."

"I'll lead them away. Go to the palace and wait for me." Yan Xiuchen said this and turned to leave the alley.

With a flash of Qinggong, he lured away the pursuers from Yan Lin's mansion.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the pursuers who disappeared one after another, and sneered indignantly, "Okay, Yan Xiuchen, wait for me to catch you red-handed."

Jiang Qingwu murmured, and then returned to the Regent's Palace as quickly as possible.

He used his lightness skills to cross the courtyards of the palace and finally landed steadily in the North Garden.

However, it also alarmed the palace guards. Seeing people in night clothes flying around, the palace guards quickly gathered and rushed to Beiyuan.

But when I got there I found out it was Jiang Qingwu.

"Meet Miss Jiang."

"No need to be so polite." Jiang Qingwu agreed hastily, turned away and walked straight into Yan Xiuchen's room.

Yan Xiuchen's room was being renovated a few days ago, and Jiang Qingwu hadn't been here for several days.

The room has been completely renovated, with gauze curtains, screens, dressing tables, and many other things that women love.

Even a small door was opened near the window of the original bedroom.

You can go directly to the garden behind the main house, saving the trouble of going around the main hall.

Jiang Qingwu looked around and his thoughts were pulled back.

She came here to find evidence and almost forgot.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu immediately started rummaging through the drawers.

I searched through all the wardrobes in the house, but didn't find any clothes related to Jiangjiu.

"Impossible, if he was Jiang Jiu, there would be no trace at all."

"Clothes, capes, masks, and swords, they have to be stored somewhere, and he can't just have the clothes he's wearing."

Jiang Qingwu muttered to himself, his eyes scanning every corner of the room, and then he suddenly realized something.

Almost everything in the room was moved, except the desk and bookshelf.

Jiang Qingwu frowned, then put down the knife in his hand and started searching the bookshelf and desk.

Scrolls, paintings, books, and various antiques and brocade boxes.

Jiang Qingwu tiptoed around and was about to give up when her hand accidentally touched the vase on the wooden shelf.

I thought the vase would fall, but it didn't move at all.

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened, he turned to look at the vase, and instantly understood something.

"Mechanism..." Jiang Qingwu said as he checked the vase and then turned it slightly.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the bookshelf in front of him creaking open, and his eyes lit up.

But before the bookshelf was fully opened, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. As soon as Jiang Qingwu noticed it, the other party chopped him down with a palm.

Jiang Qingwu felt a black screen before his eyes and then he lost consciousness.

Gu Yanbai looked at the fallen Jiang Qingwu and caught him, "You finally fell into my hands."

A strange smile appeared on Gu Yanbai's face, but the next moment, a dagger flew over.

In order to avoid the dagger, Gu Yanbai directly let go of Jiang Qingwu.

By the time he stood still, the mechanism of the secret room had been hit by the dagger and was closed.

And Jiang Qingwu also fell steadily into Yan Xiuchen's arms.

"You came back just in time." Gu Yanbai straightened his moonlight-white brocade clothes, feeling a little aggrieved.

"This girl discovered your secret. I was helping you, but you actually wanted to chop me with a knife."

Gu Yanbai muttered as he pulled out the dagger belonging to Jiang Jiu from the bookshelf.

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu in his arms, then raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yanbai with a cold gleam in his eyes.

"It seems that an iron chain can't hold you down anymore."

"No, no, no, can can can..."

Gu Yanbai shouted repeatedly, and then hurriedly took back the iron chain that was originally locked on his hand from the small table in the outer hall.

"I can lock it up, absolutely." Gu Yanbai smiled apologetically and locked one end of the chain around his wrist and the other end around his ankle.

Then he shook his hands and feet towards Yan Xiuchen, "Look, the lock is so strong."

Yan Xiuchen stared at Gu Yanbai with a frosty expression, "Get lost..."

Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly, waved his hand and rolled his eyes, "Go away, I won't disturb you and the little beauty anymore."

Having said that, he turned around and walked out. Although it was not convenient to walk, he was still able to move freely.

Watching Gu Yanbai leaving, Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu with lingering fear.

He didn't know what Gu Yanbai would do if he hadn't returned in time.

After placing Jiang Qingwu on the bed, Yan Xiuchen slowly took off the mask on his face, opened the secret room and walked in.

There is an entire wall of cabinets in the secret room, displaying various weapons, hidden weapons, poisons, precious medicinal herbs, and treasures.

In the cabinet on the other side, identical cloaks, brocade clothes, and masks were neatly hung.

Just as Yan Xiuchen was changing his clothes, Jiang Qingwu's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"You have caught the criminal red-handed, but you still refuse to confess and surrender?"
