Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Su Wenli blocked Jiu Ye's words completely, and Jiu Ye was suddenly speechless.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu interrupted the two of them.

"Okay, stop arguing. It's better for my cousin to stay. The palace is not peaceful either."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu gestured to Jiu Ye and Tan Xi.

"Tanxi, notify the palace and arrange for His Highness's funeral as soon as possible. The bigger the noise, the better."

"Jiu Ye, go to the palace immediately and tell the Queen Mother about the palace..."

"Also, tell Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Wu and the others to keep an eye on the North Garden of the Palace and not allow anyone to approach..."

Jiu Ye heard the voice and agreed with a cupped hand, "Yes, young lady, I'll go right away."

Tan Xi also bowed slightly and hurried out of the house.

After walking out of the door, Jiu Ye paused with uneasiness in his heart, looked back into the room, and gently closed the door.

Tan Xi on the side looked around, saw Beiyuan regaining his composure, and smiled quietly at Jiuye.

"You always seemed to hate girls, but now you are worried about His Highness."

Jiu Ye came to his senses, looked at Tan Xi walking forward, and couldn't help but chase after him.

"Even you can see that Mr. Su has different feelings towards the girl..."

"I didn't think highly of the girl before, but then was then, and now is now. I see that the clouds will clear and the moon will appear."

"But a cousin suddenly appeared. I was naturally indignant."

Hearing this, Tan Xi chuckled secretly, "Don't worry, this girl is not what you think she is..."

The two of them chattered, and the low, tiny voices faded away.

To outsiders, the palace was noisy for only one night before returning to peace.

But to the people in the palace, it was like the sky had fallen.

Their highness was killed, and more than half of the royal soldiers and guards, including his palace which was as big as half of the imperial palace, were missing.

The air in each villa also turned cold, and there was sadness everywhere.

Beiyuan was especially cold and desolate, and no one dared to approach it easily.

"How is he? Has he recovered?" Su Wenli stood beside the bed and couldn't help but ask when he saw Jiang Qingwu taking good care of him.

Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly, pulled the quilt on Yan Xiuchen, and lowered his voice.

"His pulse is stable, so he should be fine. I just don't know when he will wake up."

"It's only a matter of time before you wake up. Don't worry. Wanyue got some food from the kitchen...you can eat some."

As he spoke, Su Wenli reached out and grabbed Jiang Qingwu, slowly pulling him up from the bed.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Su Wenli, and followed him to the table in the distance helplessly.

"I don't have much of an appetite, cousin, you don't have to worry too much about my uncle and the others. Yan Xiuchen said that if they are fine, then they must be fine."

Su Wenli nodded and handed a cup of tea to Jiang Qingwu. "There is something I don't quite understand."

"The Regent pretended to be injured, then pretended to be poisoned, and finally pretended to be killed..."

"We also need the Queen and the Second Prince to join in the plot."

"Why are they holding such a grand funeral now? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble to get rid of the crown prince?"

Jiang Qingwu was silent for a moment and said, "Cousin, there are some things you don't understand."

"The Shen family is very powerful. It would be impossible to uproot it without a fatal crime."

"Yan Lin is a prince. As long as the Shen family is there, they will have the support and protection of the court officials."

"Yan Xiuchen's struggle for power is not legitimate. If he attacks Yan Lin but is not sure of a fatal blow, we will be the ones to suffer the backlash."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu sighed softly, and thought of all the previous arrangements, and chuckled.

"Indeed, this plan is a bit too big."

"But there's no way."

"They thought Yan Xiuchen was seriously injured, so he acted recklessly. They knew he would soon recover, so they took risks in a hurry for quick success."

"Only if they attacked the court officials, attacked His Majesty, subverted the court, and forced the emperor to revolt can the charges be firmly pinned on him."

"As long as Yan Lin can be eliminated legitimately, the personal soldiers and secret guards he secretly raised will be completely eliminated."

"The Shen family can only be convicted of rebellion and uprooted."

Su Wenli nodded thoughtfully, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Qingwu, with an indescribable heat in his eyes.

"When you arrived at Beiyuan today, I hid in the dark."

"I saw you crying so sincerely and sorrowfully... When did you become such a good actor?"

Jiang Qingwu felt a little nervous when he heard that, but he forced a smile and said, "When you act... you have to act more realistically."

Su Wenli chuckled, then remembered something, "There is one more thing. How can you be sure that the prince will let you and the others go?"

"Shouldn't he kill all the people in the Marquis' Mansion as well?"

Jiang Qingwu smiled secretly, picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, "It's because of Gu Yanbai."

"Gu Yanbai was his military advisor and gave advice. He was the one who told Yan Lin that we couldn't eliminate both the Marquis' Mansion and the King's Mansion in one day."

"Moreover, as long as Yan Xiuchen dies, the Regent Army will be leaderless."

"But if we get rid of the Marquis' Mansion, my father who is away will lead his army into the capital, and then things will be out of control."

Su Wenli stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, muttering hesitantly, "So, Gu Yanbai is one of yours?"

Jiang Qingwu was silent for a moment and nodded gently, "I guess so."

"At least, he's not Yan Lin's man."

……

It was already late at night.

Jiang Qingwu didn't eat anything after all. He lay down beside Yan Xiuchen's bed and gradually fell asleep.

Su Wenli, Xiao Liuzi and others inspected Beiyuan and then quietly returned to the house.

Wanyue dozed off at the table, and the candlelight on the table dimmed.

Looking at Jiang Qingwu sleeping beside the bed, Su Wenli picked her up gently.

When he was about to send Jiang Qingwu to sit on the couch, Yan Xiuchen's murmuring voice suddenly came.

"So I love you... So I love you..." Yan Xiuchen murmured softly.

It didn't even wake up the sleeping Jiang Qingwu and the dozing Wanyue.

Su Wenli was standing by the bed holding Jiang Qingwu. When he found Yan Xiuchen had woken up in a daze, he calmly carried him to the couch.

He carefully covered himself with a thin quilt and then returned to the bed.

"You...you are, Su..." Yan Xiuchen's face was pale and his voice was weak, but his mind was clear.

Seeing this, Su Wenli couldn't help but sit over to him and took his wrist to feel his pulse.

"Your Highness' pulse is stable and his internal energy is gradually recovering, but he is injured and still a little weak..."

Su Wenli echoed in a low voice, gently put Yan Xiuchen's hand back, poured him some water, and helped him up a little.

Yan Xiuchen frowned, holding his shoulder and sitting up with great effort. He only took a sip of water, but his eyes were always on the couch not far away.

Their eyes were fixed and full of heat, especially the voice that faintly emerged in his mind.

Su Wenli realized something and explained in a low voice, "She was watching over you the whole time and accidentally fell asleep. I just sent her to sleep on the couch."

Yan Xiuchen nodded, leaned gently against the bed, his thoughts gradually becoming clear, and he looked at Su Wenli, remembering something.

"This prince knows...your aunt Su Su once intended to...give Gu Qing to you..."

"If she hadn't fallen in love with Yan Lin later..."

Su Wenli smiled faintly upon hearing this, and whispered in agreement, "Your Highness knows it very well. As expected... you have been thinking about your cousin for a long time."
