Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Although there are not many guards, they are well-trained.

The secret room was dark and not illuminated by many lights, and there were four guards hiding.

When he saw Jiang Qingwu, he stepped forward and saluted.

"Meet Miss Jiang."

She had almost never been to the secret chamber, not even in her previous life. These people could clearly recognize her in the dark night, so they must not be good people.

Jiang Qingwu didn't waste any words and took out Yan Xiuchen's jade token. "I am here to check something in the secret chamber on the orders of His Royal Highness the Regent. Open the door."

The two people kneeling in front looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and opened the heavy door behind them.

After entering the secret chamber, Jiang Qingwu realized that this was a huge hall filled with tall wooden bookshelves, arranged in order by year and region.

The high ones are almost as tall as a three-story bungalow.

Although there is a ladder, it still feels like climbing to heaven.

Especially at this moment, it was pitch black in here, without even a light.

The guards lit lanterns and oil lamps and followed behind him, as if to help, but also as if to monitor.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly to Wanyue.

"Brother guard, our girl will take a long time to investigate, I will just hold the lamp."

Having said that, Wanyue took the lantern from the guard's hand.

The guard hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left the hall.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Qingwu followed the marked information, leaped up, used the ladder to step on the edge of the bookcase, and found the archives of Dayan from 145 to 165.

Judging from the time, the archive should record everything from when Yan Xiuchen was six or seven years old to the present day, and it should be possible to find out who he was with.

Jiang Qingwu flew down, and with the help of candlelight, he opened the files one by one and found all the records related to Yan Xiuchen.

But after opening it, I was dumbfounded.

In the 145th year of Dayan, Yan Xiuchen and Concubine Xian moved to Fengluan Palace, and Concubine Xian was promoted to Concubine Xian Guifei.

In the 150th year of Great Yan, Queen Mengjia went insane and kidnapped the ninth prince Yan Xiuchen, who was later rescued by the Imperial Guards.

In the 153rd year of Great Yan, Yan Xiuchen was an excellent rider and archer, and his literary talent was ranked first in the palace.

In the 154th year of Great Yan, Yan Xiuchen joined the army in battle and won many military honors.

In the 157th year of Great Yan, Yan Xiuchen participated in the royal hunting and was rewarded with the title of Prince Chen for his meritorious service in saving the emperor.

In the 158th year of Great Yan, Yan Xiuchen followed His Majesty in the expedition to the eastern border. He returned wounded with great military exploits. After recuperation for a year, he was named King Chen.

In the 159th year of Great Yan, the new emperor ascended the throne and received the last will of the previous emperor, ordering Yan Xiuchen to supervise and assist the country.

In the same year, the new emperor appointed Prince Chen as regent, giving him the same power and administration as the emperor.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the densely packed words, and there was nothing to see when he turned the page.

Probably from this time on, no one entered this secret chamber again.

"Girl, why do I feel a little scared..." Wan Yue spoke, leaning towards Jiang Qingwu timidly, looking around involuntarily.

There was nothing else except a candlelight on the table in front of them.

Jiang Qingwu was in a daze, and seeing Wanyue's timid look, he couldn't help but push her aside.

"What's so scary? Is there a ghost?"

"No, young lady, you said before that Gu Yanbai and His Highness met in the palace and grew up together until they separated in Fuye, the Eastern Territory, a few years ago..."

"This... this file doesn't contain even the slightest trace of Gu Yanbai."

"The record here says that His Highness has no playmates. This, this, this... only mentions Prince Pingqing and Princess Yuya..."

"If they really grew up together, how come there is no trace of Gu Yanbai?"

Wan Yue's words reminded Jiang Qingwu. Jiang Qingwu's eyes lit up and he quickly put away his things.

"You're right, Yuya... Yuya is about the same age as them, just ask the princess."

Jiang Qingwu agreed and pulled Wanyue out, but when they were about to open the door, they found that it was locked.

Jiang Qingwu's face changed and he knocked on the door repeatedly.

"Someone, open the door, is there anyone..."

"Miss, girl, blood...fire, fire..." Wanyue shouted anxiously beside her. Only then did Jiang Qingwu realize that blood was flowing in from the narrow gap in the door.

Thick smoke and flames billowed out and quickly spread towards them.

She clearly didn't find out anything, but there were still people who wanted to burn down the secret chamber.

And this person is not Yan Xiuchen.

There are people in this palace who know this secret and know about Gu Yanbai's existence.

Jiang Qingwu thought about it, and quickly pulled Wanyue back, "Find an exit."

The two of them were in the hall, looking for exits and windows.

But this place is a secret chamber, a place where secrets are kept and archives are stored, and there is no way out at all.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this place is relatively large and they still have a way to retreat, but it is also the last resort.

Just when Jiang Qingwu was at his wits' end and facing despair, he suddenly saw a small window on the roof in a corner of the hall.

Although it is very small, it is enough.

"There is a way." Jiang Qingwu murmured, and leaped to the top of the bookshelf, which was still two meters away from the stingy window.

"Can the girl go out?"

"No, but it can." As he said that, Jiang Qingwu took out the fire signal from his arms and released it out through the small air window.

The fire signal belongs to the Regent's Palace. Not only in the palace, but even in the capital, the Regent's Palace can see it.

Even if no one in this palace cared about her, at least the Queen and the Royal Guards would come to rescue her because of the Regent's Palace.

Sure enough, as the fire spread and thick smoke filled the hall, the queen's voice was heard outside the door.

Various shouts of fire rang out one after another.

When the door was broken open, Wanyue was already unable to hold on. Jiang Qingwu covered his mouth with one hand and pulled Wanyue with the other, and rushed out from the fire and smoke of the hall.

"Empress...Empress."

"Don't talk so much, let's leave here first..."

When the Queen and her confidants were leaving the secret chamber with Jiang Qingwu, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the darkness.

"Who is it?" Upon seeing this, the Queen and the Royal Guards immediately became alert.

When Jiang Qingwu looked over, the Royal Guards were surrounding the man in black.

Jiang Qingwu took a closer look and found that it was Yan Xiuchen in disguise as Jiang Jiu, wearing black wings, a black robe, a mask and two swords.

Yan Xiuchen did not resist. He stood still and looked at Jiang Qingwu.

"Stop... He's mine."

The queen was stunned and lost in thought when Yan Xiuchen walked towards Jiang Qingwu and hugged her in his arms.

"Is something okay?"

"fine."

The queen opened her eyes wide and looked at the increasing number of royal guards and firefighters behind her, and rushed over hurriedly.

"No matter who you are, follow me immediately."

Upon seeing this, Yan Xiuchen immediately picked up Jiang Qingwu.

In the wing room of the Queen's Palace.

"Queen, call the imperial physician immediately..." Yan Xiuchen placed the unconscious Jiang Qingwu on the bed and spoke to the queen with a nervous look on his face.

But before he could finish his words, he turned around and bumped into the queen's sword.
