Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

As soon as Jiang Qingwu left the hall, the imperial concubine dismissed the maids and others, and went to the garden with Shen Wanrong stealthily.

Yan Xiuchen saw the two figures and gestured to Jiuhan, "See what they say."

"Yes." Jiuhan agreed in a low voice, and quietly followed Yan Xiuchen to the garden.

Concubine Shen and Shen Wanrong walked side by side in the garden corridor, glanced at each other secretly, and deliberately raised their voices a little.

"It's really unlucky. I didn't expect Yan Xiuchen to be so cruel now."

Concubine Shen shouted indignantly, her eyes wandering as she looked around intentionally or unintentionally.

Shen Wanrong sighed softly, looking disappointed, "I wanted to make a big fuss in front of Yan Xiuchen, but I was fooled like this."

"If Yan Xiuchen knew that Jiang Qingwu was severely punished because A Lu humiliated Yan Lin, his face would definitely turn green."

"But Yan Lin still misses Jiang Qingwu, and Jiang Qingwu also agreed to be Yan Lin's insider. If Yan Lin knew that I did this..."

Hearing this, Concubine Shen snorted with contempt, "So what if he knows? He no longer has the support of the Jiang family, so he dare not do anything to you."

“And it didn’t work out.”

Concubine Shen and Shen Wanrong talked as they walked, getting farther and farther away from Yan Xiuchen who was in the dark.

At this moment, a figure suddenly ran out from behind the rockery on the other side, flashed by and disappeared.

Yan Xiuchen glanced at it and felt a little nervous.

"Who is it?"

"He looks like a little eunuch from some palace." Jiuhan murmured as he looked into the distance, then looked towards Yan Xiuchen cautiously.

Yan Xiuchen's face didn't turn green, he just looked scary. He held the golden bronze fan in his hand without saying a word.

"Jiang Qingwu, this girl, she really is... in Cao's camp but her heart is with Han."

Jiuhan calmed himself down and moved closer to Yan Xiuchen, "Godfather, if this is true, you have to be careful of Miss Jiang."

He had heard the conversation between Jiang Qingwu and Yan Lin before, and heard about the insider activities.

Now Concubine Shen and Shen Wanrong also said so, and there was also today’s incident.

Could it be that Jiang Qingwu was really lurking around him just for Yan Lin?

But when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is not right.

The clues to the private manufacture of weapons were provided by Jiang Qingwu, Yan Lin’s stronghold was also burned down by Jiang Qingwu, and even the names of those accomplices were listed by Jiang Qingwu.

Jiu Ye also checked and found that the people on the list were indeed Yan Lin’s spies.

If she was really Yan Lin's person, how could she do such a weird thing.

"Jiuhan..." Yan Xiuchen thought silently for a long time before speaking. Jiuhan was also stunned for a moment, "Godfather."

"Go, bring those two palace maids and two imperial guards to me. I want to ask them in person what happened today."

"Yes, godfather."

The sleeping hall of Fenghe Palace.

Jiang Qingwu followed the empress dowager all the way, not daring to slow down or go fast, and finally arrived at the bedroom. But as soon as the empress dowager sat down, an angry shout was heard.

"Kneel down."

Kneel down?! I knew it wasn't that simple.

The Queen Mother was so strict about the selection of Yan Xiuchen's princess, not to mention that she and Yan Lin were already married.

Even if there is no such person, a military general who is good at marching and fighting is not the best candidate for princess in the Queen Mother's mind.

Jiang Qingwu felt uneasy and knelt down obediently.

"All of you go down." The Queen Mother sent away the people around her and only left a nanny by her side.

Jiang Qingwu quietly raised his eyes to look at the empress dowager who was sitting on the phoenix chair above and drinking medicine.

"You are only seventeen years old, although you have been on the battlefield for three years and fought dozens of battles."

"But he was given the title of General Qingcheng, a second-rank official, and is in charge of the Beijing Army. This is a great honor for the emperor, and many people will never get it in their lifetime. Do you know why?"

The Queen Mother looked indifferent and did not even look at Jiang Qingwu who was kneeling in front of her.

Jiang Qingwu certainly knew that the glory was not only due to her own efforts. She used to think that it was because of her father.

Later she realized that it was probably Yan Xiuchen who asked for it for her.

"Your servant... guessed that it was a reward that His Royal Highness the Regent asked for on your behalf." Jiang Qingwu answered carefully.

"It's good that you know." The Queen Mother said lightly, leaning on the phoenix chair, looking at Jiang Qingwu with cold eyes.

"Then you know that he went to West Wind Valley because he wanted to save you."

"It was he who saved you from your predicament, and you were able to escape, kill the enemy general, and return victorious."

Jiang Qingwu lowered her eyes slightly and raised her hand to salute, "Yes, I only found out about this later, so... I am willing to serve Your Highness wholeheartedly."

"Hmph, Yi Xin? Yan Lin sees Xiu Chen as a thorn in his side. You and Yan Lin have been together for so many years, how can I trust you?"

Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Now it seems that this Queen Mother is even more difficult to deal with than Yan Xiuchen. I can't just kiss her.

Jiang Qingwu was thinking aimlessly and at a loss when a young eunuch walked in with small steps and went straight towards the empress dowager.

Then he leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the Queen Mother and the others in confusion, watching the Queen Mother's face gradually become more ferocious and murderous.

"How dare you..." The Queen Mother shouted angrily, suddenly stood up, grabbed the bowl of leftover medicine beside her, and threw it at Jiang Qingwu.

The medicine bowl hit Jiang Qingwu's face directly, shattered in the air, and the medicine spilled all over Jiang Qingwu's face.

Jiang Qingwu covered his face with his hands, his head was buzzing and he looked confused.

"You agreed to marry Xiu Chen, it turns out you were acting as a spy for Yan Lin."

"Do you have to kill Yan Xiuchen for Yan Lin?"

Jiang Qingwu's head buzzed and he froze in place for an instant.

How did the Queen Mother know about this? Where did this little eunuch come from?

"Empress Dowager..." Jiang Qingwu wanted to explain, but the Queen Dowager strode over and slapped her without saying a word.

The empress dowager, who is over sixty years old, is very strong.

"I finally know what happened today. No wonder you refused to tell me the reason why you punished the maid so severely in the palace."

"You are so despicable. Is Yan Xiuchen blind? He actually insisted on marrying you and even asked me to propose marriage myself."

“It’s ridiculous.”

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened.

What's going on? Knowing the reason for the severe punishment of the palace maid, why would he beat her and have such an attitude?

What the hell is going on.

"My Queen, I am terrified. I don't know why you want to hit me."

"I don't know why you actually took action for Yan Lin in the palace without any concealment."

"I'm asking you, are you sent by Yan Lin?"

Jiang Qingwu shook his head in panic and explained quickly, "No, Queen Mother, I didn't do it for Yan Lin, I did it for..."

Jiang Qingwu had only said half of his words when the Queen Mother slapped him again, this time stunning him.

"You are still quibbling. What Concubine Shen and Shen Wanrong said is false. You'd better admit it. I can also convince Yan Xiuchen to cancel this marriage."

"If you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for being merciless."

The Queen Mother scolded furiously, and then shouted to the outside, "Come here, take off her outer robe and torture her with water. I want to see if she admits it."
