Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

In Shangyang Palace, Jiang Qingwu took the antidote and slept for a day and a night.

When she woke up, it was just getting light.

The sunrise glows red, and gradually dispels the darkness of the night.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen, who was sleeping on the couch not far away with his head supported, and the thoughts circling in his mind gradually became clear.

Looking at the person in the distance, he looks the same as when he was young, yet different.

That face lacked its childishness and clarity, as if it was covered with a layer of mist.

Especially the flickering candlelight shining on his face, the mottled light and shadow made it look even more fragmented.

Jiang Qingwu slowly stood up and sat up with difficulty. Although his movements were very gentle, they still startled Yan Xiuchen.

"Gu Qing? Are you awake?" Yan Xiuchen quickly stood up, walked to the bedside, and supported her from behind.

"How are you? I'll call Imperial Physician Li over..." Yan Xiuchen asked as he picked up the water beside him and brought it to Jiang Qingwu's mouth.

"No need, I'm fine..." Jiang Qingwu swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, and asked as if he remembered something, "Where did the antidote come from?"

Yan Xiuchen paused, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It was... stolen from King Suqing."

"You gave me the poison with your own hands, and now, you gave me the antidote with your own hands... Oh, how did you suddenly figure it out!"

Yan Xiuchen was startled. He slowly put down the cup of water and hugged the person carefully.

"You remember?"

"I think... I remember everything... I just don't know what happened after I took the poison?"

Jiang Qingwu's eyes turned red when she recalled the things in her memory.

She felt resentful in her heart, resentful that Yan Xiuchen made her take poison, but she was also touched, touched that Yan Xiuchen had done so much for her.

But what was more was helplessness, helplessness about the situation at that time, helplessness about the capital city that collapsed overnight.

"Nothing happened? Your father took you back."

Jiang Qingwu heard Yan Xiuchen's words and gently closed her eyes, "I was wrong..."

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked for the truth. I shouldn't have thought about recovering my memory... I finally know why you have been hiding the past."

"Now, how should I tell Gu Yanbai all this..."

The sound of Jiang Qingwu's low sobs stabbed into Yan Xiuchen's heart like a knife.

There are many things that he would never do unless he has no other options.

"You are not wrong, you are never wrong..."

……

Gu Yanbai and Nan Xiuye ​​soon learned the news that Jiang Qingwu had woken up.

When Yan Xiuchen was in court, Gu Yanbai came once.

But at that time, Jiang Qingwu's body had not fully recovered, and the imperial physician was also there, so he did not see anyone.

He came three times throughout the day, until the evening, when Gu Yanbai came again. This time, Yuya was in the bedroom.

"My lord, Her Majesty is discussing something with Princess Yuya. Please go back first." When Tan Xi came out of the palace, Gu Yanbai finally realized that something was wrong.

"She woke up in the morning and saw the imperial physician, His Majesty, and Yan Xiujin. When it was my turn, she said she was not feeling well..."

"Now, she has even seen Yuya, but she has not seen me..."

As Gu Yanbai said this, he pushed Tan Xi away and rushed in.

But as soon as he reached the door, Jiu Ye and two bodyguards blocked his way.

"Sir, the girl is talking to the princess right now. It's inappropriate for you to barge in like this."

Gu Yanbai couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw Jiu Ye holding a knife in his hand with one hand outstretched, looking like he was ready to attack at any time.

"Forget it, her injuries haven't healed yet, she can't stand my torture..."

"Tanxi, tell her that I will come again tomorrow. If she still doesn't show up, I will beat her up regardless of whether she is my godson or my biological son."

Having said that, Gu Yanbai turned around and left in a hurry.

Yuya looked at Gu Yanbai walking away through the window, sighed softly, and sat down towards Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu sat on the couch, covered with a thin quilt, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, his face was calm and his expression did not change.

"What's going on? He's in a hurry to see you. Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about him." Jiang Qingwu echoed and looked at Yuya, "I heard that you and mother have moved into the Regent's Palace?"

"Yes, I asked your second brother, but he didn't tell me. I asked your royal brother, but he didn't tell me either."

"I thought something must have happened. I heard that you were sick again and I was worried, so I came to the palace."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yuya's bulging belly and smiled slightly, "Nothing's wrong. What could be wrong?"

"This is always unstable, up and down."

"Every dynasty and every generation has its ups and downs when a new emperor ascends the throne, and Yan Xiuchen is no exception."

"It just happens that the Queen's family is your in-laws' family, so there are more things to watch."

Jiang Qingwu said lightly, then smiled and moved closer to Yuya, "You can live in the Regent's Mansion with peace of mind these days."

"The palace is close to the palace gate and the government office, and there are many patrol guards. In addition, the people in the palace are excellent and capable, so you can rest assured."

"Okay, I'm relieved, and you can be relieved too. I've asked your second brother to take my uncle, aunt, and cousin to the palace."

"And mother, I will take good care of her."

After saying that, Yuya slowly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. Take your medicine well."

After seeing Yuya off, Jiang Qingwu looked at the half bowl of medicine beside him, picked it up, and then put it back silently.

"Wan Yue..."

"The servant is here."

"Tonight, go somewhere with me..."

Wan Yue was stunned for a moment, then hurried over to greet him, "You're not well yet, where are you going tonight?"

"It's okay. I'm just walking around the palace...don't alarm anyone."

"Yes, the servant knows."

At night, at the end of the hour of Hai.

Yan Xiuchen was still in Chengshu Palace, so Jiang Qingwu, wearing a plain phoenix robe and a green cloak, went to Xifeng Palace with Wan Yueru as if they were taking a walk.

Times have changed. She vaguely remembers the way to Xifeng Palace, but she feels that people and things are no longer the same, and everything has changed completely.

When we walked to the back, it was even darker, with only the lantern in Wanyue's hand emitting a dim light.

"Girl... where is this? Why... there is no light at all..."

"Are you scared?" Jiang Qingwu asked, and suddenly saw something and stopped.

Wan Yue looked around, was stunned for a moment, and stood up straight, "I am not afraid, how could I be afraid."

"This is Xifeng Palace. Nearly a hundred people were burned to death there."

"what?"

Wan Yue blurted out in shock, and following Jiang Qingwu's gaze, she also saw the half plaque hanging on the palace gate.

One of the three characters "Xifeng Palace" was missing, and the door plaque was crooked and covered with cobwebs.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the three words, glanced into the yard, and walked straight in.

"Girl, why did you think of this place so late at night? It's so spooky, maybe there are ghosts..."

"Don't be afraid, here... there is only an empty yard, there are no ghosts." Jiang Qingwu looked around, sighed and murmured.

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice was heard from the dilapidated house.

"There is no ghost, but there is a human being."
