Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu was frightened by being stared at and tried to break free from Gu Yanbai's hand, only to find that the shackles on his hands had been removed.

"Gu Yanbai...you, what's wrong with you..."

Gu Yanbai heard the voice and suddenly reacted. He immediately smiled uninhibitedly, "Just teasing you."

"As for me, I didn't see anyone at all. I just glanced over and knew it was a man in black."

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and stood up thoughtfully.

"It doesn't matter who killed him now. Even if you killed him, it doesn't matter. The most urgent thing is how to save you..."

"Everyone in the court knows about this. If we want to save you, we have to do it openly..."

Gu Yanbai was still thinking about what he said last night, and came back to his senses in a daze, "Okay, well, you guys decide, how do you want to save him?"

When Jiang Qingwu heard the voice and turned to look at Gu Yanbai, Gu Yanbai was walking towards the bed.

Lying on the wooden bed, with his feet crossed, he looked relaxed and at ease.

"This environment is really too bad. And that director, he is from the Qin family..."

"You have to be careful. No matter what, don't suffer any loss..."

Jiang Qingwu looked around and then walked towards him. "Although now, no one in the court dares to openly oppose us and attack you."

"But the queen is the queen after all."

"After the Queen's death, there was a lot of criticism in the court. Although the Qin family didn't have much power, they were given many official positions because Yan Nan was crowned king."

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. There may be people in the dark who are looking for trouble with you. I think..."

Gu Yanbai became a little impatient when he heard this. He turned to look at Jiang Qingwu with a slight smile on his face. "My little beauty, are you reluctant to leave?"

As he said that, he suddenly stood up and moved towards Jiang Qingwu, "Look, this dungeon... is it similar to the last time we were trapped, or..."

Jiang Qingwu was startled suddenly and remembered something in an instant.

Seeing that Gu Yanbai was teasing him deliberately, he kicked him on the leg and said, "Just stay here."

After saying this, Jiang Qingwu turned around and left in a hurry.

"You tease me once, and I tease you once, we're even." Gu Yanbai said with a smile.

Hearing the sound of the iron prison door closing, the smile on Gu Yanbai's face gradually disappeared.

"Silly girl, what can the Qin family do to me? There are too many people who want to kill me..."

Gu Yanbai murmured, and his eyes gradually became cold and fierce.

When Jiang Qingwu left the inner prison, Qin Guang returned to the dungeon.

Looking at the backs of the group, Jiang Qingwu stopped in his tracks with a worried look on his face, and shouted to the imperial guards not far away, "Someone come here..."

Upon hearing the voice, the other party immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Jiang..."

"Go and inform Jiang Qingbai, tell him I said so, and ask him to replace the director of the inner prison immediately."

"Yes……"

Seeing the people walking away, Wan Yue moved closer to Jiang Qingwu, "Girl, where are we going now?"

"Since it wasn't Gu Yanbai's fault, it naturally proves his innocence..."

Jiang Qingwu went to the crime scene in the Queen's palace. The Queen had been moved to a side hall. There were white lanterns and funeral banners, and the palace maids were all sobbing quietly.

"Greetings, young lady..." Two guards were guarding outside the door of the crime scene. Seeing that it was Jiang Qingwu, they did not dare to stop her.

Jiang Qingwu carefully inspected the hall but found nothing.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw scratches on a pillar in the distance.

It doesn't look like it was left from a fight, but rather like it was specially drawn.

Jiang Qingwu looked in the direction of the scratches and raised his head, only to find a brocade box placed on the pillar of the beam.

Then he leaped up, grabbed the brocade box, and landed steadily.

"Girl... look at this..." Wan Yue shouted, holding a wooden box in her hand, which was full of prescriptions given by the imperial physician to the emperor.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the medicine in the box in his hand, and then his eyes changed, "The Queen...changed the Emperor's prescription?"

"Let's go meet two people."

Jiang Qingwu took the things and rushed to the Imperial Medical Office, but when he arrived, he found that Yan Xiuchen was already there.

"You... why are you here? Aren't you in... Shangyang Palace?"

Yan Xiuchen was also surprised. Seeing the box in Jiang Qingwu's hand, he frowned slightly and asked, "What did you take?"

"Look for yourself." Jiang Qingwu handed the box over, looked at the imperial physician kneeling not far away, and looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion.

"How...how did you find this? Did you also see the box of medicine and prescription?"

Yan Xiuchen shook his head slightly and said, "No, it's just that these past few days, I noticed that something was wrong with His Majesty."

"Eunuch Li who serves His Majesty said that His Majesty has been eating the medicinal food sent by the Queen these past two days, so... I came here to ask."

As he said that, Yan Xiuchen stood up and handed the things back, "Since you have already intervened, you will be the one to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"Then...what about you?"

Yan Xiuchen smiled slightly, sighed softly, touched Jiang Qingwu's head gently, and lowered his voice.

"I have something more important to do."

"We will act separately. If everything goes well, Aze can still join us and have supper at the North Garden of the Wangfu."

……

At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the entire Nanyuan.

Bai Ruosheng held a small bowl and stood by the lake, feeding the fish, looking calm and relaxed.

"My Lord... I have already notified the assassins in the palace..."

"Well... tell them that they only have this one chance tonight." Bai Ruosheng raised the corners of his lips.

"Jiang Qingwu is so smart. After tonight, he will definitely be able to clear his name."

"There are no Crimson Guards in the palace, and Yan Xiuchen has also been harassed by the court officials..."

"This is such a good opportunity. If they still can't make it, let them explain to the master themselves."

Ah Luo stood behind him and bowed her head slightly, echoing in a low voice, "Yes, there is one more thing..."

"Sir said that the Queen did a great job... Please, my Lord, deal with the King of Funan as soon as possible."

Bai Ruosheng frowned upon hearing this, turned to look at A'Luo, and approached her, "The King of Funan... is going to be eliminated too?"

"Yes, it is a new order from sir."

"I got rid of the queen, captured Gu Yanbai, and kept an eye on Jiang Qingwu. I did all of these..."

Bai Ruosheng murmured, then came back to his senses, "Where's the antidote?"

"The antidote... Mr. said that Gu Yanbai hasn't been obtained yet... So, the antidote... hasn't been delivered yet."

"The master said that there are still ten days left, so there is no rush."

Bai Ruosheng's face was gloomy. After hearing this, he suddenly threw the small bowl in his hand into the lake.

……

The sky gradually darkened, but the Shangyang Palace was still noisy.

Some people advised the emperor to appoint a crown prince, while others advised the emperor to give the throne to Yan Xiuchen.

Some people asked the emperor to take away Yan Xiuchen's power as regent, while others asked him to thoroughly investigate the queen's death and appease the Qin family.

The emperor was sitting there, feeling dizzy from the noise. He held his forehead with his hands, his face pale, as if he was seriously ill.

"Your Majesty, you can't just ignore this matter. This matter is related to the prince. You have to administer justice."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to thoroughly investigate the Queen's death. The Queen is the mother of the country and we cannot just let it go..."

Listening to the noise around him, the emperor patiently waved to Eunuch Li in the distance, "Where is the Regent..."

"Go and call the Regent over."

"Your Majesty, His Highness said that Gu Yanbai is a retainer of his palace, and he should avoid suspicion in this matter..."

"Avoid suspicion? What suspicion are you avoiding... Find him, go quickly."

"No need, Your Majesty..." Jiang Qingwu's shout interrupted everyone's quarrel.
