Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

"Daddy..." a very soft voice.

Not sure if it was Yan Xiuchen’s shout that helped Jiang Qingwu regain some clarity in his daze.

"Daddy, you came to save me!"

Yan Xiuchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put the person down, hurriedly took off his outer robe, and wrapped it tightly around Jiang Qingwu.

"It's not your father, it's me. I'm here to save you." Yan Xiuchen replied softly and picked the person up.

Jiang Qingwu felt pain in his wound. He opened his eyes to look at Yan Xiuchen, then closed them again. "Who... who are you? Put me down. I, I won't go with you."

Yan Xiuchen suddenly realized that he was wearing a black veil and she was so hurt that she was in a daze and would definitely not be able to recognize him.

"You... don't remember? The person who stole your box." Yan Xiuchen agreed casually, holding Jiang Qingwu and striding out of the dungeon.

But just as they came out of the dungeon, the Royal Guards rushed in from the gate.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen stopped walking, gently put the person down, and supported Jiang Qingwu with one hand, "Lean on my shoulder, don't be afraid."

Jiang Qingwu was dazed and couldn't even stand steadily, but he was still vaguely aware of something, "The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother will kill you, run away!"

"Who are you? How dare you break into Fenghe Palace at night and capture..."

The leading guard shouted, drew his sword and rushed over, but just as he got in front, he suddenly stopped.

Seeing the token Yan Xiuchen took out, their faces changed instantly and then they all knelt on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xiuchen gestured to everyone to keep quiet.

No one dared to say a word and watched Yan Xiuchen walk away holding Jiang Qingwu.

Although I don't know who the person is, the one holding the regent token can only be Yan Xiuchen or his closest confidant.

"Her Majesty...Her Majesty!"

It was past midnight and the Queen Mother was ready to rest when suddenly a shout came from outside the door.

Nanny Zhong went out and heard the news, and hurried to the bedroom, "Queen Dowager, someone kidnapped Jiang Qingwu."

"What?! Who is so bold!?"

"The man is wearing black and masked, but... but he is holding the gold medal of His Royal Highness the Regent."

"Xiu Chen's gold medal?!" The Queen Mother was surprised and sneered, "What do you mean by kidnapped? It's obviously taken away."

"He didn't even bother to ask me for her, but he actually sent someone to kidnap her openly."

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly. Although she was angry, she was more thinking about how to explain this matter to Yan Xiuchen when the sun rose.

At midnight, the city was silent.

At this time, Jiang Qingwu was riding on a horse, curled up in Yan Xiuchen's arms, drowsy and trapped in confused memories.

She was captured by the enemy at the age of fourteen, also in a dark dungeon, and was injured, stabbed and shot by an arrow.

The armor on her body was like an invisible restraint, making her body heavy and unable to stand up.

Through her blurred vision, she vaguely saw a man in white clothes gently helping her up.

"I'll take you home." The man said softly and carried her onto the horse.

She vaguely remembered that in a daze, she tore off half of the jade pendant from the man.

Just because she had seen the other half of the jade pendant in Yan Lin's study, she always thought that it was Yan Lin who saved her.

Jiang Qingwu was half asleep and half awake, his mind was in a daze and he was mumbling something.

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake... Yan Xiuchen..."

Yan Xiuchen was riding a horse and faintly heard her calling his name. He couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. He looked down at Jiang Qingwu and pulled her closer to his arms.

Not long after, the two men ran into Jiang Qingbai while riding their horses.

He couldn't be found anywhere in the city, and Yan Xiuchen's words were just empty talk, and I didn't even see him.

Jiang Qingbai specially drove the carriage and tidied his clothes.

He planned to ask for an audience in the palace in the middle of the night, although he might not be able to get in at this time.

"Sir, it's the lady..." Jiang Qingbai's close companion Luo Qing shouted, and then stopped the carriage.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingbai got out of the car immediately.

When Yan Xiuchen saw the Jiang family's carriage, he hesitated for a moment, looked down at Jiang Qingwu, and lowered his voice.

"Your brother is here to pick you up, so I'll take you here."

Jiang Qingwu's mind was somewhat clear, but he didn't have the energy to respond.

"Awu..." Jiang Qingbai walked over quickly. Yan Xiuchen also got off the horse, carefully put Jiang Qingwu down, and handed him to Jiang Qingbai.

Seeing that the man in black had no ill intentions, Jiang Qingbai hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Sir, you saved my little sister. I will remember this favor in my heart."

"She has a knife wound on her shoulder and is burning all over. Please ask a doctor to treat her as soon as possible."

Yan Xiuchen used his inner strength to change his voice and covered his face with a black veil. Jiang Qingbai was thinking about his sister and didn't care much.

"Awu, how are you..." Jiang Qingbai just looked down at Jiang Qingwu in his arms. When he came to his senses, Yan Xiuchen had already ridden away.

When Yan Xiuchen sneaked back to the palace, Jiuhan and Jiuye were pacing back and forth in the yard.

Yan Xiuchen flew down from the roof, the two looked at each other, and hurried over to greet him.

"Godfather, how is it going? Has Miss Jiang been found?"

Yan Xiuchen nodded, took off the mask on his face, and strode back into the house.

"Go check all the palace maids in the Queen Mother's Palace to see if there is any relationship with the Shen family."

Jiuhan bowed his head slightly, "Yes, godfather, did something happen?"

"She has knife wounds on her body, which could not have been done by the Queen Mother. The cell door is open, so someone must have broken in."

"Yes, son, I understand." Jiuhan agreed, turned around and hurried away.

Jiu Ye poured tea and sent it to Yan Xiuchen, "Godfather, before you came back, the people from the Queen Mother's Palace just left..."

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly and looked at Jiuye, "What did you say?"

"The Queen Mother said that she will let you enter the palace early tomorrow morning."

"I...will not go. Tomorrow morning, you will take the maid Chun Tao to see the Queen Mother."

"Oh, son, I know what to do. Um... Godfather, Concubine Zhang will go to propose marriage tomorrow. Will you... go?"

Yan Xiuchen's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't say anything.

The Jiang family was restless in the second half of the night, so they invited the doctor who was in charge of their Shunqing Marquis Mansion all year round to see them.

First he treated the injuries on his body, then he looked after the cold, gave him medicine and acupuncture. The treatment lasted for most of the night, and Jiang Qingwu was still half asleep and half awake.

It was not until dawn that I fell into a deep sleep.

He fell asleep and slept until the 9:00 p.m. the next day.

The yard was bustling with activity, and servants were busy everywhere.

The room seemed to have been decorated, with some red flowers and red silk added, making it more festive.

The sunlight filled the room, and the sounds of servants' hurried laughter in the yard came to my ears.

Jiang Qingwu looked around and felt clear-headed, so he stood up.

"Girl, why are you sitting up..."

Wanyue came in from outside with the medicine. Seeing Jiang Qingwu getting up and about to get out of bed, she hurried over to stop him.

"My shoulder injury doesn't hurt much anymore. It's just a minor injury. I've recovered from the disease. I can't just stay in bed all the time."

Although Jiang Qingwu said this, he still didn't dare to act too recklessly.

“I see that you have remembered that Concubine Zhang came to propose marriage today.” Wan Yue couldn’t stop her, so she hurried over to help.

"Don't worry, young lady. Concubine Zhang will come with the ceremonial procession from the Prince Regent's Palace. It will probably be noon soon."

Jiang Qingwu ignored Wanyue's mumbling, put on her clothes, and spent a long time in front of the mirror putting on makeup before she managed to suppress her sickly look.

"I'm not anxious for Concubine Zhang and the others, I just don't want to lie down. Where is my brother?"

Jiang Qingwu asked as he walked out, but just as he walked out of the door, Jiang Qingbai walked in holding a wooden box.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu dressed neatly, he frowned and asked, "Girl, why are you up?"

"It's okay, just a superficial wound. What did you take?"

Although Jiang Qingbai was worried, he didn't say anything when he saw that Jiang Qingwu looked fine.

"Someone from the Prince Regent's Palace just sent a large brocade box to you. They said it was a gift from the Prince Regent."

Jiang Qingwu was also puzzled. He gestured to Jiang Qingbai and sat in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.

"Gift? What is that, such a big box..." Jiang Qingwu muttered to himself, and then started to open the box.

"Your Highness must have sent some token of love." Wanyue brought over tea and snacks, and when she saw the box, she couldn't help but move closer.

Jiang Qingbai took the teacup and put it to his mouth, shaking his head repeatedly, "How can a token of love be in such a big box? It looks like something edible to me."

"Sir, let's make a bet. I'll guess..." Wanyue was smiling and joking with Jiang Qingbai.

But the next moment, when Jiang Qingwu opened the box, he was frightened and screamed, "Ah..."

Looking at the things in the box, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but tremble and his face turned pale.
