Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

There were some faint discussions coming from the yard. Jiang Qingwu heard it but ignored it. He only went out to greet them after they finished burning incense.

The Jiang family members usually live a glamorous life relying on the Jiang family's reputation, and they dare not cause trouble.

Besides, in their previous lives, they were implicated by her and did not end up with a good ending.

"My two aunts are polite." Jiang Qingwu suppressed his displeasure and behaved politely.

When the two men saw Jiang Qingwu bowing, they bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwu with apologetic smiles on their faces.

"Awu, I'm not saying anything too much, but I've never heard of your father adopting a son. How come he suddenly has another son?"

"And it's such a grand ceremony. The whole capital knows that our mansion is holding a funeral. They think something has happened to your two brothers..."

"Yes, who exactly is this Bai Asheng? Even His Highness has ordered us to treat him with respect..."

"I heard that he was originally a spy and a zither player... a man who was a concubine, such a person..."

When Jiang Qingwu heard the voice, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at the two of them with sharp eyes.

"What?" Jiang Qingwu shouted sternly. The two of them stopped talking and shrank their bodies instantly.

Jiang Qingwu was furious and even more furious because of his shame, and he approached the two of them step by step.

"He is my father's adopted son and saved my life. Moreover, since it is His Highness' order, do you two aunts intend to disobey it?"

“Don’t dare, don’t dare…” The two men were so scared that they shook their heads and backed away with their heads down.

At this moment, Jiang Qingwu's mother, Su Su and Yu Ya came out from the inner house.

"Awu, what are you doing?" Su Su shouted softly.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, turned around and bowed slightly, "Mother."

"Your two aunts are here to help with the funeral, so don't be rude."

"Yes." Jiang Qingwu agreed in a low voice without saying much.

"I heard you woke up, and the princess and I were just about to go see you. Now that you're here, that's perfect. I have something to ask you."

Su Su said this and walked towards the corridor not far away.

Yuya gestured to Jiang Qingwu, and Jiang Qingwu followed.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

"What's going on with this Bai Asheng? Is this your idea or His Highness's?"

"What's going on here? Where did this adopted son come from?"

Jiang Qingwu's expression gradually turned ugly, and he bowed his head slightly and said, "It is your Highness's intention, and it is also my intention."

"Bai Asheng saved my life. Without him, your daughter would have died in Sanshui City long ago."

"I promised him that he would recognize his father as his godfather."

"He has no one to rely on in the capital, only me!"

"Nonsense." Su Su shouted harshly. If she hadn't been concerned about the servants coming and going in the mansion, her voice would have been even louder.

Seeing this, Yuya hurriedly moved closer and said, "Mother, it's a good thing that Awu is loyal and righteous. I heard that Bai Asheng died because of Awu."

"It's okay for us to take care of his funeral."

"It's nothing, but there are so many houses in the capital, do we have to live in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Su Su looked unhappy and complained in frustration.

"We should hold a grand funeral for him in the Marquis' Mansion and bury him with honor. We can even give him the title of adopted son, but there is no need to hold it in the Marquis' Mansion. This..."

"The best explanation for his identity is that he is just a confidant of His Highness, a spy sent to the Sang Kingdom..."

Before Su Su finished her words, Jiang Qingwu could no longer hold back. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a shout from outside the door.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Shunqing Marquis Mansion received it..."

Hearing the shout, Su Su hurried away.

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

The one who delivered the decree was the eunuch A'lu who served in Shangyang Palace. He, along with the imperial guards and two young eunuchs, walked to the middle of the courtyard with the imperial decree in his hands and stopped.

"Everyone in Shunqing Marquis' Mansion, receive the order..."

"Your subjects... accept the order."

Servants, positions in the government, as well as relatives who came to help and other people who took care of the funeral.

They knelt in a huge crowd on the ground.

Jiang Qingwu followed Su Su and knelt down silently.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Bai Asheng of Sanshui City, the personal guard of the Prince Regent and the adopted son of Marquis Shunqing, has been lurking in the dangerous Sang Kingdom for many years for the sake of Great Yan."

"This time at the Imperial Mausoleum, you have been instrumental in protecting the late Emperor's mausoleum and rescuing the Prince Regent. I shall be posthumously named Prince Wenyuan."

"The Bai clan members will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and their ancestral temples and ancestral shrines will be repaired. They will be honored as princes and buried in their hometowns. I decree this!"

Su Su stood there in a daze. Before she could come to her senses, Jiang Qingwu kowtowed politely.

"Your Majesty, I accept your command. Thank you for your grace."

A Lu, who was delivering the imperial edict, heard Jiang Qingwu's thanks and hurriedly bent down to hand over the imperial edict.

Then he helped the person up and said, "Miss, pass on His Highness's order."

"His Highness said that he knew that no matter what he did, it would be insignificant, but he always wanted to do more to let the deceased rest in peace and to comfort the girl."

Of course she knew all this. She knew that Yan Xiuchen had done everything he could for her and for Bai Asheng.

Now, the only thing left is revenge.

……

Three days later, outside the city.

Jiang Qingwu escorted Bai Asheng's coffin and followed the funeral procession all the way out of the city. Jiang Qingwu did not stop until they were ten miles outside the city.

"We've already walked so far, you can go back now." Su Wenli rode his horse to stop Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the team that did not stop, and felt as if something was pulling hard in his heart.

"I have your Majesty's decree. He is now the King of Wenyuan. When we get to Sanshui City, I will wait until he is settled before returning."

"I will also take care of the government officials in Sanshui City and the people of the Bai family. Every New Year and festival, there will be someone who will worship him."

Su Wenli whispered to comfort her, looked at Jiang Qingwu's bloodshot eyes, and walked closer to her.

"All good things must come to an end, Ah Wu, don't worry, your cousin is here."

Yes, there is nothing to worry about. Su Wenli is escorting you personally, so there is nothing to worry about.

She just... was reluctant...

"Be careful on your journey, cousin. Come back as soon as you have done your job."

"Okay, I understand." Su Wenli agreed, gently touched Jiang Qingwu's head, turned around and hurried away.

Looking at the team going further and further away and the coffin becoming more and more blurry, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but tightly grasp the reins.

"After traveling thousands of miles, we meet each other on the day when the body hidden in the golden coffin returns in glory."

"There is a difference between life and death, thousands of miles apart. From now on, no one knows the fallen leaves and withered bones."

Gu Yanbai's voice was getting closer and closer.

As soon as these words came out, the tears that Jiang Qingwu had been hiding so hard finally fell.

"You are not good at comforting others." Jiang Qingwu choked a little and tried his best to suppress his emotions.

Gu Yanbai sighed softly, then handed over a piece of silk, "Wipe your tears, I have good news for you."

Jiang Qingwu took the handkerchief suspiciously and turned to look at Gu Yanbai, "What good news?"

"Tang Zhi...found it."
