Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Midnight, Fengxiang Palace.

Jiang Qingwu extinguished more than half of the candles in the room, and looking at Yan Xiuchen who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she couldn't help but think of the last time.

She lit a magic incense for him and went to Shiwei Manor to deal with Yan Su.

Afterwards, he was so angry that he locked himself and Gu Yanbai in the dungeon.

This time... I don't know if he will really get mad at me...

"Girl..." Wanyue whispered behind her.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, turned around and found Wanyue wearing a black dress, and he couldn't help but understand something.

"You stay in the palace..." Jiang Qingwu said firmly, gently pulled the thin quilt on Yan Xiuchen's body, and took out the two swords from under the pillow.

"Miss, Jiuhan Jiuye, Shunqing Marquis Mansion, and even everyone else cannot participate in this matter...

"The maid and I are one, let the maid go."

Having said that, Wan Yue picked up Jiang Qingwu's black cloak without waiting for Jiang Qingwu to speak.

……

At that time, in the alley near the Regent's Palace in the city.

Gu Yanbai was wearing a black brocade robe and holding a narrow-bladed sword in his hand. He was standing in the darkness of the alley and his face could not be seen clearly.

Not long after, a small group of people sneaked into the alley under the cover of night and stopped in front of Gu Yanbai.

"Your subordinate Gu Ming..."

"General Chongda..."

"Your Highness!"

Gu Yanbai looked at the team of ten people kneeling in front of him and took a deep breath.

"Today, I am going to kill someone. If anyone pursues the matter, it will be a war between Sang and Dayan."

"If no one pursues the matter, tonight will be filled with dangers."

"After the mission is accomplished, evacuate as quickly as possible and reunite at the base west of the city."

"Yes, I, your Highness, swear to follow you till death..."

In the Regent's Palace, after Nan Xiuye's funeral, the palace became deserted.

From the afternoon, people in the palace began to evacuate one after another.

By this time it was midnight, and apart from a few teams of patrolling guards, only the library in Nanyuan was still guarded by three layers of guards inside and outside.

Gu Yanbai, Gu Ming and the others were wearing black clothes and masks, and hardly alarmed anyone, but when they reached the outer wall of Nanyuan, they all stopped.

Looking at the team patrolling inside, Gu Yanbai became alert.

"Later... Try not to kill anyone in order to protect yourself..."

"Yes……"

Gu Yanbai gestured to the people around him, and when he was about to go in, he heard a loud shout coming from the direction of Beiyuan.

"Someone, there's a fire..."

When the people patrolling in the yard heard the shouting, they became alert instantly, and the leader, Xiao Liuzi, immediately rushed forward.

"Prince Pingqing is in Beiyuan, everyone follow me..."

Gu Yanbai and his companions saw that most of the people had left, and took the opportunity to climb over the wall and enter.

He only knocked out three or four guards outside the library and then easily broke in.

Yan Chong was sleeping on the couch in the study. When he realized something was wrong, someone had already arrived in front of him.

"You are..." Before Yan Chong could finish his sentence, Gu Yanbai knocked him unconscious with a palm.

When his men carried Yan Chong away, the people in Nanyuan hadn't even noticed that something had happened in the library.

"Sir, who set the fire? Did those people leave on purpose?"

The fire came suddenly, and Xiao Liuzi left without hesitation. Although he had the same idea as Gu Ming, it was just a thought after all.

"Shut up and let's go!"

In Beiyuan, the main room where Yan Xiuchen originally lived was fine, and the west wing where Yan Xiujin originally lived was also fine. Only one wing room was burned.

Although there were a lot of people putting out the fire, the fire was not big.

By the time Yan Xiu Jin put on his clothes and came out of the side room, the fire had been brought under control.

He had no doubts at first, but when he saw Xiao Liuzi, he instantly realized something.

He turned around, picked up the sword on the table, and headed towards Nanyuan Bookstore.

Honggang Mountain, a mass grave.

On the way to the cemetery where the Gu and Lu families were buried, Yan Xiujin and several of his confidants and the palace guards were stopped.

Yan Xiujin was also very smart and chased very quickly, and he thought he could catch up in no time.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue were already waiting on the road they had to take.

Jiang Qingwu was wearing a white dress and a cloak, the hood of the cloak completely covered her entire face.

The two women standing in the middle of the road were like an uncrossable ditch.

"...Let me pass, sister-in-law!" Yan Xiujin said in an earnest tone, with anxiety and helplessness on his face.

Jiang Qingwu slowly took off the hood on his head, with a calm and indifferent expression.

"I am here today just to stop you."

"Where is my royal brother? Did he ask you to come?" Yan Xiu Jin asked in disbelief.

Jiang Qingwu shook his head and then smiled bitterly, "I knocked him out, he doesn't know about this."

"Sister-in-law, you are still injured. You shouldn't be involved in this."

"No matter how many mistakes he made, he is still my and my brother..."

"Yan Xiu Jin..." Jiang Qingwu interrupted Yan Xiu Jin, his voice becoming a little colder.

"I promised Gu Yanbai that I would stand by his side, help him find the truth, and avenge him!"

Jiang Qingwu said, and shouted to the people behind Yan Xiujin, "You can think for yourself whether you dare to fight with me!"

The palace's personal guards were all Yan Xiuchen's. In other words, they had all watched Jiang Qingwu being held in the palm of Yan Xiuchen's hand all the way up to the position of queen.

More than a dozen people looked at each other, then knelt down.

"My subordinates dare not."

"Go back."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone put away their swords and quickly left the jungle.

Looking back, there were only two trusted confidants left by Yan Xiujin's side. They were his personal bodyguards who followed him from Jiangnan.

Seeing this, Yan Xiujin's face turned cold, "Jiang Qingwu, I must go there. I can't just do nothing..."

"I don't deny that he is not a good person, but I have been guarding him for ten years."

"I can accept him dying alone and being imprisoned for life, but I cannot accept watching him being killed..."

As he spoke, Yan Xiujin slowly drew out his sword, "You are no match for me, not to mention you are injured, sister-in-law, let me pass..."

"If you want to get through, just step over my dead body."

Yan Xiujin hesitated for a moment, then swung his sword and left.

Three against two, Jiang Qingwu is no match for Yan Xiujin, and Wanyue is also no match for Yan Xiujin's two men.

Yan Xiujin even held back his strength, fearing that he would hurt Jiang Qingwu.

But Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue were still no match for them and had to retreat again and again.

Seeing that Jiang Qingwu was forced into a corner with no way to retreat, Wanyue hurriedly stepped forward to block him.

When Jiang Qingwu came to his senses, Yan Xiujin's sword was stabbing towards him and pulling Wanyue away.

"Wan Yue..."

When Yan Xiujin saw that it was Jiang Qingwu, he was so scared that he quickly put away his sword.

"Jiang Qingwu, please move aside..."

Hearing Yan Xiujin's scolding, Jiang Qingwu became more determined.

He put away the knife, raised his head and walked forward, as if ready to die.

"Unless you kill me, don't even think about going there..."

“Jiang Qingwu…” Yan Xiujin was extremely angry and pointed his sword at Jiang Qingwu. “You’d better let me pass, or I will really be rude.”

"If you want to kill me, then go ahead!"

"You..." Yan Xiujin was at a loss for a moment when he saw Jiang Qingwu's firm attitude.
