Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

It was almost dawn when Yan Xiuchen brought Nan Xiuye ​​back to the palace.

Everything seemed calm in Shangyang Palace, but after Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiujin questioned Zhong Quan, they found out that Yan Xiuchen had left the palace alone.

In addition, Jiang Qingwu in the bedroom had a high fever all night and was drowsy and half asleep.

Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiujin were so anxious that they turned around in circles. Even the imperial physician stayed in Shangyang Palace and did not dare to leave for a moment.

"He's back, he's back, the imperial physician... Imperial Physician Li..." Zhong Quan ran into the yard in a panic, and Gu Yanbai also hurried to greet him.

"He's back? Is he injured?"

"It's not His Majesty who is injured, it's the Prince. The Prince is injured." After saying that, Zhong Quan ran into the house and called Imperial Physician Li.

Gu Yanbai wanted to ask something, but when he turned around, he saw Jiuhan and Jiuye supporting Nan Xiuye ​​in.

Yan Xiuchen followed behind him, holding the antidote and two swords he had found.

"Nan Xiuye, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's OK!" Nan Xiuye ​​seemed to be fine. He covered his chest, but was still able to move freely.

"Aze, you go back with Xiuye ​​first and let the imperial physician take a good look at it."

"Xiu Jin, come with me..." Yan Xiuchen said as he strode into the bedroom, "Wan Yue..."

"I'm here." Wanyue hurried out of the dormitory.

"This medicine is for Gu Qing. Take two pills."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

When Yan Xiuchen saw Wanyue leaving, he gestured to Yan Xiujin and walked away.

"King Suqing should have known what we stole from him, and he should also know that Jiang Qingwu will recover his memory soon."

"Jiang Ruhai's life is hanging by a thread. You must take people to the Marquis' Mansion immediately and secretly arrange for the female relatives to stay in the Regent's Mansion."

"Only the father and son of the Jiang family will stay to guard the Marquis' Mansion."

Yan Xiujin listened to Yan Xiuchen's arrangements and instantly understood something in his heart.

"Brother, have the Jiang family's father and son been targeted?"

"Yes, if Gu Qing recovers his memory, my father and the others will never forgive Jiang Ruhai..."

Yan Xiuchen seemed to be thinking about something, and then he walked closer to Yan Xiujin, "Jiang Ruhai cannot die. He holds military power and is loyal to me. With him around, I have the final say in the fate of Great Yan."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiujin bowed his head to Yan Xiuchen and said, "I understand, but... Brother Emperor, can you let Jiang Qingyu go to the palace with Yuya?"

"First, to protect the women, and second... Yuya is pregnant. If anything happens to Jiang Qingyu, she..."

Yan Xiuchen's heart tightened slightly, and he nodded gently, "Okay, I'll do as you wish."

"Yes, I will go there immediately."

As soon as Yan Xiujin left, Gu Yanbai, who had been standing outside the hall secretly, walked in.

"You gave her...the antidote?"

Yan Xiuchen heard Gu Yanbai's voice and sat down at the table helplessly, "Did you hear everything?"

"Yes, I heard it all. Now...it seems that I am the only one who is confused."

"Each of you knows it very well. Even Gu Qing probably knows everything."

Yan Xiuchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Until now, I am still the only one who knows the secret of Dayan."

"However, Gu Qing does know something, otherwise he wouldn't have lost his memory."

"There are some things I shouldn't tell you, and I... don't have the courage to tell you."

"If you really want to know, go ask her."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen stood up and walked towards Gu Yanbai. He seemed to have remembered something, and there was a hint of helplessness and emotion in his eyes.

"We have been together since we were young..."

"There is no deep hatred between us. If it weren't for the incident that happened back then, we would have become close friends."

"But now..."

As Yan Xiuchen was talking, he came back to his senses and smiled slightly at Gu Yanbai.

"Before, in the Prince Regent's Mansion, I saw Gu Qing's silver hairpin in your room. At that time, I knew that you, a jerk, had a crush on her without realizing it."

"Yan Xiuchen...don't tell me this. I don't want to talk about this now."

"Besides, no matter what happens, I will never compete with you, and Jiang Qingwu will never leave you..."

"Of course I know this." Yan Xiuchen said with a smile, sighed and turned away, "It's just..."

"This is just what you think now... Soon, you may not think so anymore."

Yan Xiuchen's voice was so quiet that Gu Yanbai didn't quite hear it, so he moved closer and asked, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing. After taking the antidote, your memory will be restored in one day at the latest."

"Her illness is a mental illness. Once her memory is restored, the illness will naturally heal."

Yan Xiuchen said this and looked at Gu Yanbai, as if he had something to say but he still didn't open his mouth.

……

In the autumn of the 157th year of Dayan, the sky was gloomy, foggy and rainy, and it got dark early.

The nine-year-old Jiang Qingwu, as before, rarely entered the palace, so she went to Xifeng Palace to find Gu Yanbai.

He was holding the sesame cakes he had just brought in from outside the palace, but when he arrived at the inner courtyard he found that there was no one on duty and the passage was unobstructed.

The door of the inner hall was ajar and no one was inside, but the sound of faint conversation could be heard coming from the dormitory.

"These past few days, he often looked at Jiaojiao and always said that Jiaojiao didn't look like him. Cousin, I'm worried about our relationship. He will know about it sooner or later..."

"So what if he knows? Big things are about to happen, I'll just kill him first..."

Jiang Qingwu walked in tentatively, and after hearing the deep voice, he couldn't help but lighten his steps.

But when he approached the dormitory, he accidentally bumped into the candlestick. With a "bang", the candlestick fell off the table and the fire of the oil lamp was immediately extinguished.

"Who's there?" a man shouted loudly, then rushed out with a knife.

Jiang Qingwu was startled and immediately hid behind the cabinet in the corner.

The man was wearing a dark brocade robe and holding a sword in his hand.

He looks to be in his thirties. Although not young, he looks very heroic.

"Maybe it's the wind. Not to mention the bedroom, I've even sent everyone in the inner courtyard out. Aze went to the Ninth Prince today, and I'm afraid he won't come back."

Xifeng Palace, Imperial Concubine Xijia? !

Jiang Qingwu looked at Concubine Xijia coming out and subconsciously widened his eyes.

"That's perfect. I'll stay with you today." The man put away his knife and walked into the inner room with Concubine Xijia in his arms.

Jiang Qingwu was so frightened that he froze in place. Just when he was planning to find an opportunity to escape, the door was suddenly kicked open.

It was Emperor Yan Chong, holding the scabbard in one hand and the sword in the other, he rushed into the bedroom angrily, followed only by two guards and eunuchs.

"Bitch..." Yan Chong rushed in with a sword and roared, and the sound of swords clashing could be heard in the dormitory.

Jiang Qingwu was so frightened that he was shaking all over, not daring to make a sound. Just as he was in a trance, he heard a shrill scream of pain coming from the house, echoing through the sky.

"Ah...bitch...I, I will kill you..."

When the man rushed out pulling Concubine Xijia, Yan Chong also stumbled out.

His lower body was covered in blood and he fell to the ground, unable to stand.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Chong lying in a pool of blood and covered his mouth in horror.

"Help, help, assassin...assassin..." the eunuch shouted, but was stopped by Yan Chong, "Don't make a sound..."

As he was talking, Yan Chong gradually lay on the ground and saw Jiang Qingwu hiding behind the cabinet.

His painful and hideous face was as white as paper and covered with sweat, but he still raised his bloody hand and pointed at Jiang Qingwu.

"Her...grab her."
