Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Outside the city, in the West Wind Valley, the mountain fog is hazy and the humidity is heavy.

Yan Xiuchen led several hundred people to search everywhere for the places where Yan Lin privately manufactured weapons.

Only Yan Xiuchen, Jiuhan Jiuye, and a dozen personal guards were guarding the river outside Xifeng Valley.

Seems like he is waiting for something.

The water was flowing, and the birds in the forest suddenly cried out.

Yan Xiuchen, who was leisurely drinking tea in the carriage, could not help but become alert immediately.

"Your Highness..." A soft call was heard along with the sound of horse hooves.

Hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen's eyes darkened.

He recognized the voice; it was the Red Guard he had sent to secretly keep an eye on Yan Lin.

The Red Guards were secret guards he raised in secret. In his previous life, when he withdrew from the court and finally entered the capital, he brought the Red Guards with him.

Yan Xiuchen slowly opened the window curtain, and the other party noticed it and hurried forward.

"I was ordered to monitor the Third Prince, and I discovered...I discovered that Miss Jiang was having a secret meeting with him."

Yan Xiuchen's face suddenly darkened, but his voice was as usual, "When?"

"Just now, in the private room on the second floor of the Tea House."

"What did you say?" Yan Xiuchen looked calm on the surface, but he was secretly feeling annoyed and bitter in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Chihongwei hesitated for a moment and moved closer to Yan Xiuchen.

"Miss Jiang said... that she would not allow the Third Prince to marry Miss Shen, and she said she would wait for the Third Prince to come to the Regent's Palace to pick her up."

Yan Xiuchen finally couldn't hide the anger on his face anymore, and looked at the people outside the window with sharp eyes, "Anything else?"

"Also, the Third Prince said that he has sent someone to assassinate Your Highness, saying... after killing Your Highness, he will immediately marry Miss Jiang."

Yan Xiuchen secretly clenched the golden bronze fan in his hand, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

These words were like knives, but then he thought back to what happened in the carriage and all that happened to her before, and his clenched hands loosened a little.

Jiu Ye stood outside the window, listening to these words, and became indignant before Yan Xiuchen could speak.

"Godfather, I've already told you that Miss Jiang has problems and can't be trusted... This marriage can't be done."

"Shut up." Jiu Han shouted at Jiu Ye, then turned to Yan Xiu Chen and whispered, "Godfather, let's deal with the assassin first, and then ask Miss Jiang for clarification."

Yan Xiuchen felt heavy in his heart and was uneasy, but he still suppressed the matter.

Not long after Chi Hongwei left, the assassin sent by Yan Lin arrived as expected.

Thirty or forty people, wearing black clothes and masks, half holding swords and the other half holding bows and crossbows, came from all directions in a well-trained manner.

The personal guards left behind by Yan Xiuchen reacted immediately and surrounded the carriage.

Jiuhan, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the sound and immediately picked up the sword at hand.

"Remember, leave him alive." Yan Xiuchen's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as sharp as a blade.

"Yes, godfather."

Outside the carriage, the sounds of fighting continued.

Swords clash and crossbows fly in the wind.

Some people were knocked into the water, and some were seriously injured.

Only Yan Xiuchen sat in the carriage, his eyes slightly closed, gently waving a golden bronze fan, as if he was in another world, as steady as a rock.

Until the leading killer broke through the last line of defense beside the carriage and rushed into the carriage with a sword.

The moment the sharp sword stabbed Yan Xiuchen, Yan Xiuchen's eyes flashed and he suddenly opened his eyes.

While dodging the sword blade by leaning sideways, he swung the golden bronze fan, and with his powerful internal force, he blew the man out of the carriage.

With a thump, the leader fell heavily, and before he could come to his senses, countless swords were placed on his neck.

Yan Xiuchen didn't move at all. Outside the carriage, there were casualties everywhere, leaving only the leader alive.

"Take him away and interrogate him carefully." Yan Xiuchen's voice came from the carriage.

Jiuhan immediately echoed, "Yes, as you command."

The assassination attempt here failed, and Yan Lin, who was at the Tea House in the city, immediately received the news.

When the carrier pigeon landed in front of the window, Yan Lin immediately took down the creed. After reading it, his face immediately turned stern.

"A bunch of trash."

Yan Lin said softly, then handed the creed to Gu Yanbai who was sitting at the tea table.

But Gu Yanbai did not take over. He calmly picked up the tea bowl and smiled bitterly.

"I thought that even if I couldn't kill him, I could still find out something. At least I could know the extent of Yan Xiuchen's injuries and how much of his power he had recovered."

"But judging from your expression, you must have been completely defeated, and not even one person replied to your letter."

"Sir..." A soft call suddenly came from outside the door.

"Come in." Gu Yanbai said, and his trusted follower Gu Ming walked in by himself, "Sir, the person who followed Miss Jiang has been killed."

"What?" Yan Lin was shocked.

Gu Yanbai, on the other hand, remained calm and asked, "Where is she?"

"I went to Fanyue Cloth Shop with the maid and picked some things. Now, I have returned home."

Yan Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Ming's words.

Gu Yanbai, who was standing by, quietly watched Yan Lin's expression and smiled secretly, "Are you relieved?"

"I didn't doubt her in the first place. She is a straightforward and simple person who values ​​feelings the most. If she did nothing after I treated her so badly, I would have doubted her."

"So, I can understand her trying to please Yan Xiuchen."

As he spoke, Yan Lin suddenly thought of something and shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone come."

"Your Highness..."

"Go, go to Fanyue Cloth Shop and ask what kind of fabrics and dresses Jiang Qingwu likes. Pick out the best ones for me and send them to her."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Hearing the voice, Gu Yanbai frowned slightly and glanced at him with disgust, as if calling him a fool.

But even though he thought so, Gu Yanbai said nothing.

He waited until Yan Lin left before calling over his confidant, Gu Ming.

"Go, find someone to keep an eye on Jiang Qingwu and the Prince Regent's Palace..."

"Stay away from the Regent's Palace, don't get discovered!"

"Yes, son."

The sky gradually darkened and was covered with a layer of heavy damp cold.

The search team of the Jingfusi gradually dispersed, and Yan Xiuchen's troops who were looking for Shen Wanrong had just returned to the city.

In the entire capital city, only Wanyue was like an ant on the hot pan.

After watching the sun slowly set, he hurried to find Jiang Qingbai, "Master, Master..."

Jiang Qingbai was just coming back from outside. Seeing Wanyue, he looked puzzled and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

“My Lord, the girl and the Regent are in trouble, please send troops to rescue them.

Jiang Qingbai looked at Wanyue in astonishment, "Girl, I just saw Wang Jun return to the city, and His Highness also returned to the Regent's Palace. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"What!" Wanyue was stunned, then turned around and hurried away.

I wanted to go to the Regent's Palace to find out what was going on, but I ran into the Third Prince's men at the door. They were there to deliver fabrics and dresses, so I had no choice but to deal with them.

……

In the Regent's Palace, Yan Xiuchen had just returned to Beiyuan exhausted when news came from the Red Guards.

While others were changing clothes, Jiu Ye went to see Chi Hongwei.

"Godfather, Chi Hongwei said that the Third Prince has been in the Tea House with an unidentified man."

Yan Xiuchen's eyes darkened, his body stiffened for a moment and then he moved as usual, "Who is it?"

"I don't know. They haven't found out yet. Oh, and..."

"The Third Prince...sent someone to deliver a lot of top-quality fabrics and women's skirts to the Shunqing Marquis's residence, and it was Wanyue who personally received them."

Yan Xiuchen frowned as if he couldn't believe it, and looked up at Jiu Ye.

Seeing this, Jiu Ye shook his head repeatedly and said innocently, "Godfather, don't look at me, it was Chi Hongwei who said that."

"I've said it before, the two of them are involved, it's not so easy to abandon the old love, taking advantage of your absence in the capital to be so presumptuous."

"Why would a man from another country send you off with women's clothes? He simply doesn't take you seriously."

Jiu Han saw Yan Xiu Chen lowering his eyes in anger, his face gloomy and scary, and he couldn't help but hurriedly stop Jiu Ye, "Shut up!"

Yan Xiuchen was in a state of unrest and felt heavy in his heart.

He wanted to be angry, but he remembered that before in the palace, he almost believed what Shen Wanrong and the others said and wrongly accused Jiang Qingwu.

He had to learn a lesson from the past.

But... she had clearly promised not to meet Yan Lin privately and would tell him whatever she did.

"Godfather..." Jiuhan saw Yan Xiuchen didn't say anything and moved closer to him.

"Godfather, I will go to Shunqing Marquis's Mansion in person to find out what happened..."

Having said that, Jiuhan turned around and was about to leave. Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth and was about to call Jiuhan, but the voice of the guards came from outside the door.

"Your Highness... In Shunqing Marquis' Mansion, Miss Jiang's personal maid Wanyue requests to see you."
