Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xiuchen couldn't hear Gu Yanbai's voice. Although he guessed what Gu Yanbai wanted to do to Jiang Qingwu, he really didn't have the strength to stop him.

"Don't... don't listen to him." Yan Xiuchen uttered a few words with difficulty. He wanted to say something else, but was knocked unconscious by Gu Yanbai's palm.

"Gu Yanbai..." Jiang Qingwu shouted and gradually calmed down.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen so wounded, Jiang Qingwu's gaze towards Gu Yanbai gradually became fierce.

"Gu Yanbai, if your conscience has not been completely eaten by dogs, think carefully about whether you have done him justice."

Gu Yanbai's face darkened and he clenched his hands behind his back.

"Remember, if you can't do what I ask you to do, you will never see him again."

After saying that, Gu Yanbai waved to his men.

Xu Qingran tied Jiang Qingwu's hands from behind, and then took out a black cloth to cover his eyes...

Watching the person being taken away, Gu Yanbai quickly took out a dagger, swung the knife to cut the rope tied to Yan Xiuchen, and held the person up.

"Go call the doctor..."

"Yes, son."

The carriage that was taking Jiang Qingwu away suddenly stopped when it was about to reach the city gate.

Jiang Qingwu noticed something and moved out of the carriage.

With her eyes covered with a black cloth and her hands tied behind her back, she could only jump out of the carriage by feeling.

After walking for a long time in the direction of the voice, he stopped and said, "Is there anyone here? Come on..."

Perhaps they heard the shouting, the soldiers guarding the city gate and the people nearby came over one after another.

"Who is it?" shouted the guard at the city gate.

Then he realized something was wrong, and tore off the black cloth on Jiang Qingwu's eyes. He was startled and knelt down quickly.

"Meet Miss Jiang..."

"Untie it." Jiang Qingwu shouted, looking at the horse tied near the tea stall not far away. After he got rid of it, he ran over without saying a word and rode into the city.

Jiang Qingwu did not return to Shunqing Marquis' Mansion, but went directly to the Regent's Mansion.

The Regent's Palace was in chaos. Jiu Ye was missing. Xiao Liuzi and Tan Xi were in charge of external affairs and internal affairs respectively, and they both lost their composure.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu coming back on horseback, the palace guards hurriedly notified the people in the palace.

"Meet Miss Jiang..."

Jiang Qingwu dismounted from his horse and headed towards Beiyuan.

"Miss..." Xiao Liuzi and Tan Xi responded hurriedly and saluted Jiang Qingwu.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu walking hurriedly, the two of them hurriedly followed.

"Miss, where is His Highness? How is our Highness?"

"Jiu Ye, Luo Ming and others suddenly disappeared. They left that day and never came back..."

Jiang Qingwu didn't answer Xiao Liuzi's words and walked straight towards Yan Xiuchen's room.

"Xiao Liuzi, send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to inform Wanyue and tell her that my order is to seal the mansion immediately and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Also, go arrange the carriage and follow me into the palace later."

Xiao Liuzi looked at Jiang Qingwu in a daze. Seeing Jiang Qingwu hurriedly heading towards the desk, he didn't dare to say anything more.

"...Yes, I will go right away."

"Tanxi, go get me some clothes..." Jiang Qingwu said, and then added, "I remember the princess's casual clothes are ready?"

"Yes, casual clothes, formal clothes, ceremonial clothes, everything is ready."

"Pick out a set of casual clothes that are suitable for a princess, and I will wear them when I enter the palace."

Tan Xi nodded, bowed slightly, and turned away.

Seeing Tan Xi leave, Jiang Qingwu opened Yan Xiuchen's secret room with ease and found Yan Xiuchen's jade seal.

Then he wrote a royal edict at the desk and stamped it with Yan Xiuchen's seal.

At noon, Jiang Qingwu was wearing a light green brocade robe embroidered with phoenix patterns and a cloak with a phoenix pattern in gold thread.

Holding the scroll of imperial edict, he entered the palace and met the emperor and the empress dowager in Shangyang Palace.

Together with Shen Chengshan and Yan Lin.

She should have been surprised to see Yan Lin, but when she thought about what Gu Yanbai had done before, she was not so surprised.

"Your Majesty, Queen..."

"Jiang Qingwu? Get up first. Where did you come from? Do you know where the Regent is?"

The emperor asked nervously, and the queen beside him also frowned and looked at Jiang Qingwu intently.

Jiang Qingwu stood up slowly and said, "Your Majesty, your Highness and I fell off a cliff while trying to capture Xu Qingran."

"Your Highness was injured and is recuperating at a manor outside the city. I am afraid that he will delay the affairs of the court, so I wrote an edict and asked this servant to send him to the palace."

"Does he have an edict? Come, give it to him." Upon hearing this, the emperor hurriedly asked the eunuch beside him to take it from Jiang Qingwu.

The emperor's eyes widened as he looked at what was written on the scroll.

"This...is this really what the Regent meant?"

"Yes, that is what the Regent meant."

"Impossible!" The queen blurted out, turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, and wanted to say something.

But seeing the emperor's gaze, he couldn't help but stop.

The emperor sighed secretly and nodded, "Come to think of it, it's time to appoint a crown prince. If the regent doesn't mention it, I won't pay much attention to it."

"Since the Regent intends to recommend Yan Lin as the Crown Prince, I have no objection."

Jiang Qingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I will obey your majesty's order."

"Come here, draft an edict to make Yan Lin the crown prince and temporarily take over the power of assisting the country..."

"Yes, as you command."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Lin smiled and stepped forward to salute, "Thank you, father."

After coming out of Shangyang Palace, Jiang Qingwu prepared to leave the palace without stopping at all.

But just as he reached the long street, he heard Yan Lin's voice behind him.

Jiang Qingwu paused and looked at Yan Lin with cold eyes, "Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"You have secured the position of Crown Prince, but whether it can last long depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

Yan Lin's face darkened and he snorted coldly, "You are so arrogant. Don't you see what you have become now?"

Jiang Qingwu didn't say anything, his eyes slightly lowered as he thought about something.

Yan Xiuchen once said that Gu Yanbai and Yan Lin’s alliance had only one purpose, which was to deal with him.

Even if Gu Yanbai is an enemy of Yan Xiuchen, he will never help Yan Lin become emperor.

She firmly believed this, so she was willing to listen to Gu Yanbai and do these three things.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will take my leave." Jiang Qingwu did not intend to argue and turned around to leave, but Yan Lin shouted loudly.

"I am the crown prince now, shouldn't you be polite?"

Jiang Qingwu secretly suppressed the annoyance in her heart, turned around, smiled, and bowed, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I will take my leave first."

"Stand up." Yan Lin smiled proudly and walked away.

Looking at Yan Lin's back, Jiang Qingwu's face became gloomy and his eyes were bloodshot.

A hundred miles away from the capital, there is Luolin Villa deep in Luolin Mountain.

The moonlight was hazy and crows and birds were chirping.

When Yan Xiuchen woke up from his daze, the candlelight in the room was bright.

Gu Yanbai, dressed in moonlight-white brocade clothes, was sitting beside his bed, warming medicine.

"You're awake..." Gu Yanbai gently put down the medicine jar, stood up and sat down beside the bed.

He wanted to reach out to help Yan Xiuchen, but Yan Xiuchen raised his hand to avoid him.

Gu Yanbai withdrew his hand with some disappointment in his eyes and sighed, "You can't blame me for this. You forced me to do it."

"You...are you going to scare her to death?" Yan Xiuchen shouted coldly, but he had no strength, so his voice was very low.

Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, she won't be scared to death. You underestimate that girl too much."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai brought the medicine over and said, "Drink the medicine. I will personally watch over you. I made this medicine for you... Open your mouth..."

"I'll drink it myself." Yan Xiuchen was about to reach out, but Gu Yanbai took the medicine back, "No..."

"Come to think of it... Ever since I was poisoned as a child, you have always been the one feeding me medicine. I have never fed you..."

"I'm the one who made you suffer like this this time, so I have to make it up to you."

Gu Yanbai smiled as he spoke and carefully brought the spoon to Yan Xiuchen's mouth.
