Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Tang Zhi was not afraid of the knife, but after listening to Jiang Qingwu's words, she felt a little panicked and hurriedly bowed her head.

"I will prepare what you want for you right away."

Seeing Tang Zhi walking away, Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly and retracted his sword.

There were several fires in the city, causing a lot of commotion.

The news of the fire soon reached Yan Lin.

Shen Wanrong also went to the Third Prince's mansion in the middle of the night because of the fire.

But as soon as he entered the study, Yan Lin asked coldly.

"The contact point in the capital and the temporary storage of weapons were all set up by your eldest brother himself."

"Don't say today's fire has nothing to do with your Shen family."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanrong hurried forward to explain, "Of course it has nothing to do with him, and he is definitely not my eldest brother."

"We in the Shen family are on the same page with you. The Shen family and my aunt want to support you wholeheartedly. How can you doubt us?"

Shen Wanrong's words gradually helped Yan Lin regain some composure, but his expression was still gloomy and terrifying.

With his hands on the desk, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"If it's not the Shen family, then it's Yan Xiuchen."

"If Jiang Qingwu and I are successfully engaged, with the Jiang family in hand, Yan Xiuchen will definitely not be able to defeat me."

"Now, those bows and crossbows are weapons that the imperial court prohibits from being privately cast... If Yan Xiuchen follows the clues and finds out anything, we will all be finished."

Yan Lin murmured, looking up at Shen Wanrong, "You and the Shen family had better be on the same page with me, otherwise, we will all die."

"Of course I agree with you. This incident was most likely done by Yan Xiuchen."

Yan Lin sighed, thinking about something with sharp eyes.

I thought he was seriously poisoned and could be kept for the time being, but now he has robbed my woman and stolen the antidote, so I can’t keep him.”

Yan Lin was determined, then he grabbed the cloak on the table and left.

Yan Lin originally wanted to meet his secret guard under the cover of night.

But before he had gone far on his horse, he heard a light shout from the surface of the lake in Shui Street.

"Your Highness, please stay!"

"Who? You're playing tricks on me, be careful or I'll kill you." Yan Lin was angry and pulled the reins and shouted at the boat.

The person under the awning didn't say anything else, but just slightly lifted the gauze curtain of the small window.

At a glance, Yan Lin's eyes lit up. He quickly dismounted his horse and walked over quickly.

"Miracle doctor!" Yan Lin bowed respectfully and then went straight onto the boat.

It was past midnight, and although there was no curfew in the Kingdom of Yan, there were not many people on the streets.

Especially on the water street, most of the ferry boats are parked empty on the shore.

It was pitch black, but there was only one boat with a red light and candlelight, exuding warmth.

The miracle doctor that Yan Lin mentioned was sitting at a small table under the awning.

A young man, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

She was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with bamboo leaves embroidered with green thread, and holding a green jade flute in her hand.

The cold face with jade crown, handsome and free-spirited appearance is completely different from Yan Lin's noble attire.

"Divine Doctor, we haven't seen each other for over a month since we parted at the Xiling battlefield. How come you are coming to Yan State?"

"My name is... Gu Yanbai now." He picked up the jade flute and pointed to the distance, "The fire in the city is about to burn you."

"If I were you, I would do three things immediately."

"Yes, Divine Doctor, no... please speak, sir."

"First, immediately move the base where the private weapons were made away and cut off all the pawns related to this matter."

“Second, eliminate all those in the Xiling battlefield who know that you set up an ambush to attack Jiang Qingwu and Yan Xiuchen.

"Third, win over the Shen family and marry Shen Wanrong immediately."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Lin with determination, but Yan Lin was a little confused.

"I know how to privately manufacture weapons, but I have already eliminated all the people who knew about it on the Xiling battlefield."

"Yan Xiuchen has already sent people to Shu, so there must be some fish that slipped through the net."

Yan Lin was a little stunned, and nodded blankly, "Yes, I understand."

"But, but why do you want to marry Shen Wanrong immediately?"

"If I marry Shen Wanrong, I will definitely lose the support of the Jiang family."

"You've already lost." Gu Yanbai was certain, then sneered and said thoughtfully, "Unless you can kill Yan Xiuchen immediately, otherwise, he will not let Jiang Qingwu go."

"During the battle on the Xiling battlefield, you used Jiang Qingwu to trap him and wanted to get rid of him."

"This kind of thing only happens once, and it won't happen a second time."

"So, he must have Jiang Qingwu under his control."

Yan Lin's face was solemn, and he clenched his fists secretly, "Then kill him."

"Now that I think about it, I underestimated him. I thought he was seriously injured and disabled, and was poisoned, so he wouldn't cause any trouble."

“But now, I’m afraid he reminded Jiang Qingwu to catch the adulterer and ruined the engagement banquet.”

"He coerced and bribed Jiang Qingwu to marry him, and then burned down the contact point to frame the Shen family and cause us to fight among ourselves."

Gu Yanbai smiled slightly and tapped Yan Lin's shoulder lightly with his flute across the small table.

"You are much more courageous than you were on the Xiling battlefield."

"He hasn't hurt you at all yet. It's not too late to mend the situation."

"Right now, you have to hold on to the Shen family as your backer. As for Jiang Qingwu and the Jiang family, you also have to win them over and appease them. Women always remember some old friendships."

Hearing this, Yan Lin nodded quickly, "Yes, she is a soft-hearted, simple-minded person who remembers gratitude and affection. I will not give up the help of the Jiang family easily."

Yan Lin said, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked with some doubt, "Sir, did you come to the capital this time to help me?"

Gu Yanbai's face was gloomy. He stared at Yan Lin and then sneered.

"One is to help you, and two... is to find an old friend."

"Old friend? Who is it? I can help you find it..."

Gu Yanbai curled his lips into a wicked smile and silently picked up a glass of wine, "A woman whose life I once saved. Now I am just asking for a favor!"

"This is my own business, you don't need to interfere."

Yan Lin bowed his head slightly and saluted, "Yes, sir."

The noise in the city gradually died down, and the night became as quiet as water.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Jiang Qingwu changed into the dress prepared by Tang Zhi.

She was wearing a green corseted skirt and a white blouse, the material of which was not even as good as the one Tang Zhi was wearing.

It looks more like a model from a few years ago. I wonder where Tang Zhi found it from.

Fortunately, she doesn't care about these.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she went out, she saw Tang Zhi kneeling in the yard opposite her door.

With both hands holding the warning board high, he seemed to have been kneeling for half the night and was shivering with cold.

"You...why are you kneeling here..." Jiang Qingwu looked at her in surprise.

Tang Zhi's upper lip was touching her lower lip due to the cold, and she was trembling and unable to speak.

When Jiang Qingwu was wondering, Jiuhan walked out of Yan Xiuchen's room.

He lowered his voice, walked towards her, bowed and said, "Miss, it's so early."

"Oh, I'm in a hurry to go back. Please help me give this to His Highness."

Jiang Qingwu handed the written letter to Jiuhan, turned around and followed the same route he took yesterday, heading for the South Courtyard.

"Hey..." Jiuhan shouted, and then sighed heavily, "Why don't you go through the main gate? Why do you prefer to climb over the wall..."

Jiuhan saw Jiang Qingwu leaving, and turned into Yan Xiuchen's room. Yan Xiuchen was standing by the window, watching Jiang Qingwu escape stealthily.

"Godfather, Miss Jiang said to give this to you."

Yan Xiuchen turned around and took the envelope. After opening it, he found that it contained a topographic map and a list.

[The places marked on the topographic map are the banks, casinos, brothels, etc. that Yan Lin secretly opened to raise money for him.]

[There are also some secret guards and assassins. I only know that they are hiding in the city, but I don’t know where and who they are.]

[In addition, the list includes Yan Lin's spies planted in the royal army, the capital's criminal department, and the royal palace. You are to deal with them on your own.]

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu's beautiful handwriting and handed it to Jiuhan.

"Check these insiders, and if they are true, deal with them quietly."

"We need to make the captured person speak. We must ensure that the clues of the privately manufactured weapons are not lost..."

"By the way, follow me into the palace today and we'll go see...the Queen Mother."

Jiuhan was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head slightly, "Yes, godfather, I understand."

When Jiang Qingwu returned to Shunqing Marquis' Mansion, the palace's personal guards had already withdrawn.

As soon as she entered the door, the servants of the house bowed and reminded her in a low voice, "Miss, go to Fuyunxuan quickly!"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu came to his senses and hurried to Fuyunxuan in the inner house.

Sure enough, in the main courtyard of the inner house, Luo Ming was kneeling on the ground with his bare chest, being punished with the beating of a stick, and Wan Yue was also kneeling beside him.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Luo Ming, whose back was covered in blood, and rushed over.

"Stop, stop." Jiang Qingwu shouted, pointing at the guards who were carrying out the execution. With just one look, the other party immediately stepped aside.

But the next moment, Jiang Ruhai's angry shout came to his ears, "You still remember to come back?!"
