Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Hearing the shout, Shen Wanrong rushed out of the carriage in shock.

I thought I had heard it wrong, but I didn't expect that there were actually robbers dressed as bandits outside.

There were four men riding four horses. They were big, rugged men dressed in coarse cloth, holding big swords in their hands and with veils on their faces.

"How arrogant and outrageous! Even the bandits dare to rob on Gongmen Street in the capital?" Shen Wanrong looked at everyone in disbelief.

"From the looks of this carriage, it's clear that this person is rich and a beauty. Come on, brothers, take her away!"

At the leader's command, the two men leaped and landed directly on the carriage.

Shen Wanrong had some basic kung fu skills, but she was defeated after blocking two moves. She was grabbed by the opponent, knocked unconscious with a palm, and thrown off the horse.

"Miss...Miss..." Ah Chun chased after her and shouted, but he could only watch her being taken away.

The sound of several horses' horses' clattering was very harsh. By the time people on the long street noticed something, the people had already disappeared.

The news soon spread back to the Third Prince's Mansion and the Shen family. The Shen family began to look for someone overnight, but did not dare to make it too public.

If people knew that Shen Wanrong was captured by bandits, her reputation would not be something Yan Lin could pick up.

At midnight, Jiuhan received a secret letter sent by carrier pigeon in the Regent's Palace and hurried into the house.

"What's the matter, so late?"

"Godfather, this is news from Shu... The man has been found, but..." Jiuhan said, and hurriedly handed the secret letter in his hand to Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the contents of the letter and his face darkened. "But someone from Yan Lin was found."

"He has already killed someone to silence him, yet he still wants to wipe out the root of the problem."

"Yes, our people were sent directly from Prince Pingqing. How could the Third Prince know about this?"

Yan Xiuchen didn't say anything, his brows furrowed tightly, "Go, inform our people to bring the person back as soon as possible. If you encounter Yan Lin's people... kill them without mercy."

"Yes, godfather."

Jiuhan agreed and turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"Godfather, there is one more thing, son, that I have never dared to tell you..."

"It's a rumor in the city." Yan Xiuchen agreed nonchalantly, holding the memorial in his hand.

Yan Xiuchen only went to the palace twice in the past two days, but he actually knew about this.

Jiuhan nodded in surprise and walked closer to Yan Xiuchen.

"Godfather, the whole city is talking about you... what they say is so nasty, what if some people take it seriously!"

Yan Xiuchen raised his eyes slightly and looked at Jiuhan, muttering thoughtfully, "She won't take it seriously, and with her around, it won't be long before no one will talk about it."

…………

"Your Majesty!"

In the Shunqing Marquis Mansion, Jiang Ruhai shouted angrily, and Jiang Qingwu fell to his knees on the ground.

He knew about the rumors outside, and he also knew about the kidnapping of Shen Wanrong.

Shunqing Hou, who had always been law-abiding, loyal and upright, was also completely annoyed.

In the main hall of Fuyunxuan, even Su Su was not allowed to enter. Only he and Jiang Qingbai were there.

"These past two days, I was thinking about how to discuss with you and ask you to cancel the engagement, but you actually dared to kidnap Shen Wanrong just to cover up the rumors about the Regent?"

"Are you crazy?" Jiang Ruhai pointed at Jiang Qingwu and shouted angrily.

Jiang Qingbai on the side was also very puzzled and looked at Jiang Qingwu in bewilderment.

"Big brother doesn't understand. Even though the Third Prince and Shen Wanrong betrayed you, you hate Shen Wanrong so much because of their love for each other."

"You know, if this gets out, Shen Wanrong really won't be able to survive."

"The Shen family covered up the fact tonight and said they were looking for a thief in the family, and they didn't dare to reveal that Shen Wanrong was missing. You actually want my father to take the initiative to bring up this matter in the court tomorrow."

Jiang Ruhai and Jiang Qingbai naturally didn't know how much she hated Shen Wanrong, and naturally they didn't know how she endured and didn't kill her with a knife at the first moment.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu kneeling on the ground, not saying a word, with a solemn and gloomy face, Jiang Qingbai's heart was pounding.

At this time in the past, Jiang Qingwu would definitely act like a spoiled brat and try to get away with it, but today he was so cold.

"Awu, what are you thinking? People are saying that the regent... he can't have sex, so do you still want to marry him?"

Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Qingbai, "Marry."

"What's more, this is just a trick of the Shen family, planned by Yan Lin."

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Qingbai asked puzzledly.

"Yan Lin has lost the support of our Jiang family, and he is one step further away from becoming the crown prince."

"Let's not talk about whether he wants to save our Jiang family or not. He and the Shen family definitely don't want us to be on the same side as Regent Liancheng."

"Yan Xiuchen has 300,000 soldiers and 100,000 elite cavalry, and he has the power over the imperial court and harem. He is the person most likely to compete with him for the throne."

"The only disadvantage now is that he is seriously injured and disabled... The Shen family undoubtedly wants to use this to discredit Yan Xiuchen."

"So that you and I can cancel this marriage."

"If we cancel the engagement because of this, it will certainly confirm the rumors. At that time, the forces in the court that support Yan Xiuchen will stand on Yan Lin's side without hesitation."

"This is the Shen family's plan, and it's Yan Lin's plan."

Jiang Qingbai and Jiang Ruhai, father and son, looked at Jiang Qingwu in shock.

In their eyes, Jiang Qingwu is good at martial arts, straightforward, affectionate and simple.

In the past, he never cared about party disputes, and never mentioned Yan Lin becoming the crown prince and sitting on the throne.

Now he can analyze the situation in the DPRK very well.

These were not necessarily things that Jiang Ruhai and his son did not understand, but in the eyes of the Shunqing Marquisate, they had always valued the reputation of being loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and a loyal minister.

"You... when did you know all this?" Jiang Ruhai looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief.

Jiang Qingwu seemed to have noticed something and reacted immediately.

Indeed, it was only during the three years after she became engaged to Yan Lin that she gradually began to plan for the throne for Yan Lin and began to pay attention to the factional struggles in the court.

Jiang Qingbai was also stunned, and came back to his senses in a trance, "So... you don't want Yan Lin to be the crown prince, and want the regent to be the emperor?"

"Shut up...you're trying to kill yourself." Jiang Ruhai shouted angrily, lowered his voice, and approached Jiang Qingwu.

"Tell me the truth today, what are you thinking?"

It is indeed time to explain some things. In her previous life, she told her father and second brother that she wanted to support Yan Lin a year later.

At that time, they were already engaged and the eldest brother had passed away, so there was no reason for the father and the second brother not to help their daughter and son-in-law.

Now, it’s just a year earlier and the partner has changed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu knelt straight and looked up at the two of them, "Father, Big Brother, I will tell you the truth today."

"Yan Lin and Shen Wanrong have been in collusion for a long time. They have never regarded me as their beloved and close friend."

"From the beginning to the end, you have been using me and our Jiang family."

"Not only them, but also the entire Shen family. They have been plotting against our Jiang family. Their comradeship is just a superficial effort."

"I didn't kill Shen Wanrong directly because I can't shake the power of the Shen family for the time being."

"I didn't kill Yan Lin directly because he was carrying the identity of the Third Prince, and I didn't want to implicate Shunqing Marquis Mansion."

"If it weren't for this, they would have died hundreds of times."

Jiang Ruhai didn't expect Jiang Qingwu to hate them so much. He swallowed his saliva in a daze.

There was not much anger at this moment, but more panic and shock.

"You...what are you going to do?"

Jiang Qingwu hesitated for a moment, with a fierce and cold look in her eyes, "I want to be the queen, the queen of Yan Xiuchen."
