Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 118 Yan Xiuchen Tests the Emperor

After coming out of Shangyang Palace, Jiang Qingwu stopped on the long street.

Watching the guards leading the villagers of Sanfu Village away, Jiang Qingwu waved to Luo Ming.

"You should personally send these people back. It must have been a lot of trouble to arrest them. Give some money to the village and give each of their families some compensation."

"Yes, I understand." Luo Ming agreed, and then suddenly turned back, "Miss, this...how much do you want to give me...Isn't my money enough?"

Jiang Qingwu sighed and looked at Luo Ming helplessly, "Go to Wutong Garden's account and withdraw the money. Give as much as you want, no less."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

"Miss Jiang is so generous." The queen's voice suddenly came from behind.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, turned around and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty the Queen."

"Don't be polite, you saved me, I should thank you very much."

"No, the Queen's letter says that Qin Hongdou's family is dead. They belong to the Imperial Concubine. Yin Ling, who is beside the Imperial Concubine, belongs to me."

"The Queen has already pointed it out so clearly, so it is natural that I can solve this problem."

The queen lowered her eyes, smiled, and sighed, "You are smart. You can find out the details of those villagers in such a short time. Otherwise, it would be useless."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the queen and for the first time felt that she was unfathomable.

Previously, she knew that Shen Wanrong was not dead and was hiding in a brothel.

Now, I know Qin Hongdou's background early in the morning.

Even though he was under house arrest, he could still clearly understand the progress of his investigation and knew exactly where he was in the Beijing Criminal Division at that time.

Moreover, she had already ambushed her men around Concubine Shen early on.

From the time they achieved mutual success and the Queen restored the power over the six palaces to now, she has been able to do so many things in such a short time.

It is impossible to say that the queen has no plan.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu distracted, the Queen looked at Shangyang Palace behind her and motioned to her, "Come sit with me, and we'll talk while we walk."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Your Highness, there is one thing I don't quite understand. Since you know that Qin Hongdou is the Imperial Concubine's person, why do you still keep her by your side?"

"In the harem, there are some things that you don't need to know too much."

The Queen smiled at Jiang Qingwu and whispered, "If I can deal with Qin Hongdou, there will still be Li Hongdou and Chen Hongdou..."

"And by that time, we may not know who it is."

"Why not go with the flow? I know my limits."

As she spoke, the queen moved closer to Jiang Qingwu and said, "I wanted you to help me talk to the regent about letting Yan Nan join the army to fight. How is it going?"

Jiang Qingwu suddenly came back to his senses.

After what happened with the Queen Mother, she had forgotten about this.

But now it seems that I have fortunately forgotten it.

"I forgot that the Queen Mother was poisoned. Don't worry, Queen. I have something I want to tell you."

"You said."

"You probably know the plans of the Shen family and the Third Prince."

"The Shen family wants to use this battle to rescue Yan Lin and give him a piece of military merit."

"If the Shen family really gets what they want, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress Yan Lin in the future."

“But if Your Highness goes to war, I’m afraid the Shen family will stir up trouble in the capital.”

The queen listened and nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense. I have also thought of this."

"So, my father, my second brother, and Princess Yuya have already discussed it."

"What they meant was that my second brother and the princess should get married as soon as possible within three days, and then my father and second brother would go to the East Territory to fight."

“This way, we can have the best of both worlds.”

Upon hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but stop in her tracks, her face froze as she said, "Within three days, the princess is the legitimate daughter of the late Emperor. It's really reckless to rush like this."

"The Queen Mother and the Regent will definitely not agree."

Jiang Qingwu nodded repeatedly, then looked at the queen, who instantly understood what was going on, "This palace?"

"You know best that I can neither be the Queen Mother's boss nor the Highness' boss. I am useless."

"No, His Highness has already issued the order, and the Queen will just have to take care of it."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu turned and gestured to Wanyue, who then handed over a brocade box, took out the imperial edict written by Jiang Qingwu, and handed it to the queen.

The queen looked at it carefully, then raised her eyes to look at Jiang Qingwu and couldn't help but chuckle, "You..."

"You wrote it yourself?"

Jiang Qingwu smiled but said nothing. She just slowly stopped walking and said, "The Queen is just following orders and knows nothing about anything."

"All consequences have nothing to do with the Queen."

"Your Majesty said you wanted to thank me, this is the only thing I need your help with."

The queen sighed softly and silently put away the scroll in her hand, "Okay, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."

"Since this matter has been scheduled for three days, we must hurry up."

"Yes, so I leave everything to the Queen."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu bowed respectfully to the queen.

After seeing the queen off, Jiang Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, where are we going now? Are we going to find the prince? You are still holding his highness' jade seal in your hand."

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Don't go looking for him yet. He will naturally come looking for me after some time."

"Let's leave the palace first."

"Yes, girl."

In the Shangyang Palace, the emperor watched Concubine Shen being taken away while crying and begging for mercy, his face full of reluctance.

Helplessly, he grabbed Yan Xiuchen.

Only after everyone had left did the emperor speak to Yan Xiuchen.

"Royal brother, the Queen Mother's case is not serious. Isn't the punishment for Concubine Shen too severe?"

Yan Xiuchen stared at the emperor, then slowly sat down on a chair beside him.

Upon seeing this, the emperor immediately waved to the eunuch who was serving him and said, "Add more tea."

Upon hearing the voice, the eunuch hurriedly poured tea for Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and seemed to hesitate for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty has deep feelings for Concubine Shen. You can imagine how much Concubine Shen cares about Your Majesty."

"She has already given birth to a princess for me, what else could she be thinking?"

"Brother Emperor, I...had a dream."

"I dreamed that Concubine Shen and Shen Chengshan poisoned you, led troops to force you to the palace, and forced you to death, and then recommended Yan Lin to be the emperor."

"He used the emperor to control the princes, disrupted the government, and brought disaster to the world."

The emperor opened his eyes wide in disbelief. In his panic, he suddenly laughed, "Brother, stop joking. This is just a dream..."

"Brother, what if this is not just a dream? What if what I am talking about is something that will happen in the future?"

"Will you regret favoring Concubine Shen so much today?"

Yan Xiuchen said this, and stood up and waved behind him. Jiuhan immediately sent away everyone in the hall.

"Your Majesty, who do you think will be the heir to the throne of Great Yan among the three princes, the first prince, the second prince, and the third prince?"

"Is it the long-ill eldest prince, the absurd second prince, or the third prince raised by Concubine Shen?"

As Yan Xiuchen spoke, he walked slowly and calmly towards the emperor's throne.

The emperor was lost in thought, pacing slowly. When he came to his senses and looked up at Yan Xiuchen, he was already sitting on the dragon throne.
