Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xiuchen's eyes suddenly darkened, he tightly grasped the cloth strip in his hand, turned to look at the unconscious empress dowager, and walked towards the emperor.

"I will personally capture Xu Qingran and bring back the antidote."

The emperor nodded in a daze and waved at Yan Xiuchen, "Okay, okay, you...you be careful, be careful."

Yan Xiuchen led his men to run all night, from East City to West City, from South City to North City.

It was not until dawn that his subordinates brought news that they had seen Xu Qingran at Jingdu Posthouse, fifty miles away from the capital.

It was not until Yan Xiuchen and his men rushed to the Kyoto Posthouse that Jiang Qingwu learned that the Queen Mother had been poisoned.

He originally wanted to go to the palace with Yuya to visit the Queen Mother, but as soon as the carriage reached the long street, someone stopped their carriage.

"Hey... who are you?" Wanyue shouted, and then walked towards the carriage window with a letter.

"The girl, a child, brought a letter and ran away."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly opened the letter.

"Yan Xiuchen is in danger, fifty miles outside the city, at Jingdu Post."

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the words on the letter and stopped the carriage in time.

"parking."

"Yuya, go to the palace by yourself, don't worry about me."

"Is it Brother Wang? Is there anything I can help you with?" Yuya seemed to have seen the words on the note.

But while he was questioning, Jiang Qingwu had already picked up his sword and got off the carriage.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu gave instructions to Luo Ming and Wan Yue.

"Wanyue, you go to the palace with the princess and ensure her safety."

"Luo Ming, give me your horse. You and your men will meet up at Kyoto Station later."

Before Yuya could say anything, Jiang Qingwu jumped on his horse and galloped away.

Watching Yuya and Jiang Qingwu part ways, Gu Yanbai, who was hiding on the second floor of Changjie Inn, smiled secretly.

"Yan Xiuchen... I've given you this opportunity. It depends on whether you can do it or not."

Kyoto Station. When Yuya and Jiang Qingyu returned to Beijing, that was when the incident happened.

It’s still the same place, still the same dense forest.

But at that time, it was Jiang Qingwu who saved Jiang Qingyu, and now, it is Yan Xiuchen who pursues Xu Qingran.

Xu Qingran was not alone, there were more than a dozen expert assassins around him, especially Shen Zhuoqi.

When Yan Xiuchen and a dozen of his personal guards were facing Xu Qingran and the others in the dense forest, the sky was covered with dark clouds and rumbling thunder was heard.

It was as if a rainstorm was brewing.

"Your Highness came here so quickly." Xu Qingran changed his clothes, holding a sword in his hand, and raised a calm smile.

She had not been subjected to any punishment in the Beijing Criminal Court. She was arrested and imprisoned for show.

Now, it has really become a disaster.

"For the sake of your master being Gu Yanbai, hand over the antidote and I will spare your life."

Hearing this, Xu Qingran suddenly sneered, "Antidote? Okay, it's with me."

"But your highness, don't worry. The poison won't kill the queen mother for a while. She can still... hold on for another three days."

She poisoned me but left a note. Wasn't this telling me to come find her?

Yan Xiuchen was suspicious. He looked at Xu Qingran and Shen Zhuoqi, then secretly glanced around, but he couldn't see any ambush.

There is no time for anything else but to get the antidote first.

Yan Xiuchen thought about it and waved to the people behind him.

Shen Zhuoqi also immediately sent the assassins behind him forward.

The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and during the fight, it started to rain heavily.

Yan Xiuchen was alone against Shen Zhuoqi and Xu Qingran. Because of his previous injury, although he could protect himself, he was unable to do anything to the two of them.

The two men also realized something and, with the cover of the assassins, went deep into the dense forest.

Jiang Qingwu was wearing a cloak and a straw raincoat. When he found Yan Xiuchen and the others, Yan Xiuchen was at the cliff at the end of the dense forest, entangled with the two of them.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu drew his sword and left without saying a word.

"Gu Qing? Why are you here?" Yan Xiuchen asked nervously.

Jiang Qingwu, on the other hand, shouted in annoyance, "What do you care?"

As he spoke, he rushed forward with his knife in hand.

Shen Zhuoqi and Jiang Qingwu barely managed to draw, while Xu Qingran was no match for Yan Xiuchen and was defeated after just a few rounds.

Looking at the golden bronze fan falling on his neck, Xu Qingran slowly dropped the sword in his hand.

When Shen Zhuoqi saw Xu Qingran defeated, he turned around and fled very quickly.

Jiang Qingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to Xu Qingran.

"Luo Ming has brought people here. Jiu Ye is searching nearby. The guards will be here soon. Xu Qingran, if you don't want to die miserably, hand over the antidote."

It was a hazy rainy day. Except for Jiang Qingwu who was wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, Yan Xiuchen and Xu Qingran were both in the rain.

Despite the shelter of the dense forest, my clothes were still soaked.

Xu Qingran's body trembled slightly, and a light laugh came out. He nodded gently, "Okay, the antidote, right? Here it is for you."

As he spoke, Xu Qingran reached into his pocket.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but step forward, but just as he got there, Xu Qingran suddenly made a move, took out a few silver needles from his arms and threw them at him.

"Be careful..." Yan Xiuchen was startled, his eyes suddenly changed, and he turned around to stand in front of Jiang Qingwu.

Seeing this, Xu Qingran took the opportunity to kick Yan Xiuchen in the back.

As they staggered, Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Qingwu suddenly lost their balance and fell off the cliff.

Xu Qingran stood on the edge of the cliff, looked down at the bottomless cliff, and raised the corners of his lips.

"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster depends on your fate."

Between the cliffs, Yan Xiuchen stuck Jiang Qingwu's knife in the crevice of the rock and held Jiang Qingwu tightly in his arms.

When Jiang Qingwu calmed down, he discovered that the three silver needles on Yan Xiuchen's shoulders had gradually turned black.

"The silver needle is poisonous. Let's get out of here as soon as possible."

When Yan Xiuchen heard Jiang Qingwu's words, he couldn't help but look back at his shoulder, but there was no sign of poisoning on his body. Instead, his cold body became even hotter.

"Nothing..." Yan Xiuchen murmured, looking up and then down, and hugged Jiang Qingwu tighter.

"Let's go down."

Yan Xiuchen suddenly drew his sword, hugged Jiang Qingwu, and with the help of the protruding rocks on the stone wall, he landed steadily at the bottom of the valley.

There were cliffs and crevices and dense forests, so the rain was a little lighter.

Jiang Qingwu looked around and saw a fairly spacious cave in the crevice of the mountain in the distance.

"There is a cave over there. Let's go in there to avoid the cold." Jiang Qingwu said, and went straight away.

After entering the cave, Jiang Qingwu immediately took off his straw raincoat and hat.

But when she turned around to look at Yan Xiuchen, she found that Yan Xiuchen was staggering, his face was flushed, and there were beads of sweat on his face. He was holding on to the mountain wall and could not even stand steadily.

"Yan Xiuchen..." Jiang Qingwu was frightened for a moment, and rushed over to pull out the silver needle from the back of his shoulder.

"I... I'm so hot, I seem to... Gu Qing, you..." Yan Xiuchen murmured in a low voice, looking at Jiang Qingwu with a dazed eyes.

But Jiang Qingwu was only concerned about the injury on his shoulder and did not notice his changes.

"Come on, sit down first, let me take a look at your injuries..." As he said that, Jiang Qingwu helped Yan Xiuchen sit down towards the depths of the cave.

Jiang Qingwu had just helped the person sit down at the round rock near the mountain wall when Yan Xiuchen suddenly grabbed her hand.

Before she could react, Yan Xiuchen rushed towards her and pressed her hard under him.

Looking into her misty eyes, they were instantly filled with worldly desires.
