Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

"Yan Xiuchen..." When Jiang Qingwu ran towards Yan Xiuchen in a hurry, Gu Yanbai suddenly stood up and made way.

"Yan Xiuchen, what's wrong with you? Wake up..."

Jiang Qingwu, who was kept in the dark, panicked. Seeing this, Gu Yanbai blurted out, "I don't know if the poison has taken effect. We need to rush back as soon as possible."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai, his head buzzed, and he shouted to Xiao Liuzi.

"Quick, send His Highness to the carriage, we will return to the palace immediately."

Soon, Su Wenli got out of the carriage and followed on horseback.

Su Wenli was still worried at first, but when he accidentally saw Gu Yanbai sticking his head to look into the carriage, he began to understand something.

"Mr. Gu, is it fun?" Su Wenli asked suddenly in a low voice.

Gu Yanbai was suddenly startled and looked at Su Wenli in confusion, "What's so funny? I don't understand what Master Su is talking about."

"By the way, Achen is important. We will go directly back to the palace later. I will send two people to take you back to the marquis's mansion."

Su Wenli understood, and he raised his lips and nodded, "No need, I can go back by myself, you just take good care of His Highness."

I don’t know if it was because the carriage was in too much of a hurry or because Jiang Qingwu kept calling him.

Yan Xiuchen woke up as soon as the carriage entered the city.

My neck was aching and in a daze, I looked up and saw Jiang Qingwu.

"Yan Xiuchen, how are you? Are you okay? Did the poison take effect... or did you get injured..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at him anxiously, and Yan Xiuchen suddenly reacted.

He was lying on Jiang Qingwu's legs, with half of his body in her arms.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu's anxious look, Yan Xiuchen suddenly realized Gu Yanbai's trick.

I have to say, this trick really works.

At least, now it is me who is by her side, and it is me who is lying in her arms.

"What are you looking at me for? I asked you if you were okay, whether the poison had taken effect, and whether the antidote had arrived yet. I had even forgotten the antidote..."

Before Jiang Qingwu could finish her words, Yan Xiuchen raised his hand, pressed the back of Jiang Qingwu's neck, pulled her forward, and kissed her lips.

"Um……"

Jiang Qingwu was startled and wanted to push him away, but when she saw Yan Xiuchen's slightly closed eyes, her strength to resist disappeared instantly.

The soft thin lips seemed to be coated with honey, light and warm.

……

"You...are you pretending to be sick? Are you okay?" Jiang Qingwu moved away, looked at Yan Xiuchen in his arms, and asked in a low voice.

Yan Xiuchen's eyes changed color, and he felt a little aggrieved in an instant, "What are you pretending to be sick? I really... I really fainted."

"Is it the poison? Or is it..."

"No, I don't know what happened, I just suddenly... fainted."

Yan Xiuchen hesitated and responded perfunctorily, but he was still feeling guilty. He quickly covered his head and closed his eyes, acting like a real person.

"No, I feel a little dizzy again..."

"Dizzy? Don't move, don't talk. We will be at the palace soon. Xiao Liuzi has already gone back to find the imperial physician to go to Beiyuan."

Yan Xiuchen nodded, squinting his eyes and still pulling Jiang Qingwu's hand to his chest, holding it tightly.

When they arrived at the palace, Yan Xiuchen was helped out of the carriage by Jiang Qingwu and Tan Xi.

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen who was pretending to be very convincing, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, "He really gets it at once, so smart."

"How are you? Can you walk? Or should I ask someone to carry you..."

"No need, just hold me, it's okay... we can walk." Yan Xiuchen said as he put his hand on Jiang Qingwu's shoulder.

Jiang Qingwu also naturally held him tightly.

But before reaching Beiyuan, Jiu Ye came chasing after them in a hurry.

"Godfather, godfather...something bad has happened. There's a fire in the capital's criminal department, and the prince...the prince is missing."

"What?!" Yan Xiuchen was startled and immediately stood up straight, his face suddenly darkened, "Where is Shen Chengshan?"

"He's still here."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen turned around and left in a hurry without saying a word.

Jiang Qingwu was stunned when he saw Yan Xiuchen, who moved quickly and with an imposing manner. His body froze in place and he didn't react for a long time.

Tan Xi did the same and looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion.

It took a long time for Jiang Qingwu to suddenly understand. When she wanted to attack, Yan Xiuchen had disappeared. She could only look at Gu Yanbai in the distance.

Gu Yanbai met Jiang Qingwu's murderous gaze, his face immediately changed, and he ran away very quickly.

"Gu Yanbai, this must be your idea, don't run..."

Jiang Qingwu shouted at Gu Yanbai, but still sighed helplessly and turned to leave the palace.

In the Capital Criminal Division, flames shot up into the sky in broad daylight, and black smoke billowed across the sky above the entire Capital Criminal Division.

When Jiang Qingwu arrived, Yan Xiuchen was interrogating Shen Chengshan.

In the inner courtyard of the Capital Criminal Division, Shen Chengshan knelt on the ground, looking disheveled as if he had escaped from a fire.

"I am really curious why you rescued Yan Lin but not you."

Yan Xiuchen paced in front of Shen Chengshan with a crossbow in his hand.

When Jiang Qingwu saw the arrow, he suddenly remembered something.

Just as Yan Xiuchen and the others guessed, Shen Zhuowen was not an impulsive and brainless person, and he did have some plans.

Shen Zhuowen sent people to ambush them, not to kill them or capture them, but to delay them and buy time.

So that the people here can take action against the Beijing Criminal Department and rescue Yan Lin and Shen Chengshan.

"Of course... we didn't make it in time." Jiang Qingwu spoke from a distance and walked towards Yan Xiuchen and the others.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen's thoughts came back to normal, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Qingwu didn't answer, but took the arrow himself. Sure enough, it was the same crossbow arrow that ambushed them in the woods.

"Shen Zhuowen, Shen Zhuoqi, Shen Wanrong, as well as the remnants of the Shen family and the secret guards, and now... there is another Yan Lin..."

"Duke Shen, you are so confident. Do you think they will be able to rescue you sooner or later?"

Shen Chengshan was silent for a long time. When he heard Jiang Qingwu talking, he spoke softly, "Dozens of people in my Shen family are imprisoned in the Beijing Criminal Department. How can we... save them all?"

"So, only save useful people, right?" Yan Xiuchen said sternly, looking at Jiang Qingwu who was standing aside.

"You don't know that there are dozens of men from the Shen family detained in the capital's criminal department. Now all those who are strong and capable have disappeared."

"A big fire is a good deal."

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly, and he realized something in an instant.

If only strong and skilled men were rescued, it means that the Shen family did not intend to escape and give up.

Instead, he wanted... revenge, he wanted to turn the tables, and he wanted to fight to the death.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu suddenly felt uneasy and threw the arrow in his hand onto the table.

"I'll go back to the Marquis' Mansion first." Jiang Qingwu whispered hello to Yan Xiuchen and hurried away.

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth and wanted to call Jiang Qingwu, but suddenly he understood what she was thinking and did not stop her.

"Godfather, what should we do?" Jiu Ye walked towards Yan Xiuchen and asked in a low voice.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the fearless Shen Chengshan and felt a little uneasy.

"Put him in the death row. Three days later, the male members of the Shen family will be executed at 3:30 pm on the execution ground."
