Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu looked at the empress dowager who was immersed in it with some disbelief.

He is truly confused and extremely stupid.

"You, you are actually his backup?"

"Haha, he really knows how to bewitch people."

"So, you were pretending to be crazy before, and the poisoning was also planned by you?"

The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head slightly, "I was indeed a little confused during that period. I was not pretending to be crazy. I only came to my senses on the night of the poisoning."

"Of course I can't refuse."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother silently put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Since you are here, I believe Yan Xiuchen also knows that you want to kill me."

"He didn't know I was coming, but he knew very well in his heart that even if I didn't come, Gu Yanbai would come. Even if he could stop her once, he couldn't stop her the second time."

"What's more, you have done so many wrong things and killed so many people, and now you are unwilling to let me and Gu Yanbai go..."

"He just wants to keep you, but..."

Before Jiang Qingwu could finish his words, the Queen Mother interrupted him, "Yes, so it was a dagger, poisoned wine, or white silk..."

Jiang Qingwu chuckled, looked around and said, "Those things... are for the women in the harem."

"Now that you are no longer the Queen Mother, and you are not in the palace, there is no need to go through so much trouble. Today... I have brought a knife with me."

"You only brought a knife, but no one." The Queen Mother said lightly. Jiang Qingwu's eyes changed, and he realized something in an instant. He turned and gestured slightly to Wanyue who was not far away.

Wanyue nodded and left the house silently.

"Why would I bring so many people with me? Is it worth it for me to mobilize so many people just for you?"

"Think about it, why would a palace maid poison you..."

"So many people, so many masters have failed to eliminate you, how can a mere palace maid who is powerless to kill you?"

The Queen Mother's words startled Jiang Qingwu, and his heart was in turmoil. But he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Now that all the thieves have been eliminated, it is time for us to relax."

"That maid has sneaked into our group, and we can't guard against her. It's not easy to poison her."

The Queen Mother chuckled, sighed softly, and slowly stood up and said, "If it succeeds, it will be a good thing. If it doesn't, there are other good plans."

"You mean you've killed two birds with one stone."

"Even if Gu Yanbai and I didn't die from the poison, we would have fallen into the trap you set because we came to punish you, right?"

The Queen Mother raised the corners of her lips slightly, looked around and said, "Do you think... I have the ability to set traps and snares for you?"

"If you don't have this ability, then it's someone else..."

Jiang Qingwu paced slowly, then drew his sword and placed it on the Queen Mother's neck. "Tell me now, who else is in Yan Chong's group..."

"This Great Yan Empire is all yours. I think it's not easy to guess, but I remind you, if you can't guess it, I'm afraid... it will be too late."

Jiang Qingwu was confused. Before he could say anything, the Queen Mother suddenly grasped the hilt of the knife and slashed her own neck.

When Jiang Qingwu was frightened, he had already fallen down.

"Queen Mother... Tell me, who else is behind this? What do you mean by too late?"

Jiang Qingwu rushed towards the empress dowager, but the person in front of him was no longer able to speak and gradually lost her breath.

Jiang Qingwu was thinking about the Queen Mother's last words and felt a little anxious. Just as he was about to leave, he heard sporadic footsteps in the yard.

"girl……"

When Jiang Qingwu heard the shouting, he hurried out of the door, only to find that the yard was surrounded by men in black.

If you look closely, you can easily find that most of them are Fuye people.

"It seems that I was unable to catch all of you at the ghost market last night."

"Follow us if you know what's best for you, or we'll kill you right here."

The Fuye man who led the group had a head full of thin braids and spoke in a stiff voice, but he was still wearing Dayan clothes and a black scarf.

"Humph, follow you, and then use me to threaten Prince Zen, so that we can get rid of him smoothly and relieve Fuye's worries?"

Several people looked at each other after hearing the voice, and looked at the leader in panic, "Boss, how come she knows everything?"

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but sneer when he saw this. He turned and signaled to Wanyue, who then took out a fire signal and released it into the air.

Several people looked at the fire signal in the sky and panicked for a moment, "Stop talking nonsense and take her down."

Xiao Liuzi brought people from the Beijing Criminal Department and the Beijing Government Department and rushed to Puling Temple one after another.

The Fuye people were all captured and killed, so it was a close call.

But because of this commotion, the Empress Dowager's death could no longer be concealed. When the people in the Capital Office saw the Empress Dowager's body, they were immediately in an uproar.

"Oh no, Queen Mother... Queen Mother..."

Jiang Qingwu was startled when he heard the shouting from inside.

The crime of murdering the empress dowager cannot fall on me. Not to mention murder, even forcing her to death or committing suicide is not acceptable.

Jiang Qingwu, who had recovered from his shock, immediately shouted loudly, "A group of thieves are plotting to murder the Queen Mother. How audacious..."

"Come here, kill him on the spot and avenge the Queen Mother."

When Xiao Liuzi heard the sound, he reacted immediately. Without waiting for the Fuye people to speak, he drew his knife and slashed the necks of several people.

By the time the people from the Jingfusi came out, all the Fuye people had been strangled to death.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the people falling to the ground and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don’t know if there are still Fuye people, and I don’t know who the person behind the scenes that the Queen Mother mentioned is.

But no matter what, one cannot do anything alone and there is no need to be afraid.

"Beijing Prefecture, please keep the Queen Mother's body safe and wait for His Majesty's decision."

Jiang Qingwu gave instructions to the people from the Jingfu Division standing nearby, then strode away.

"Yes, I will obey the Queen's orders."

……

At that time, in the Shangyang Palace.

The court officials were in an uproar.

Gu Yanbai, Yan Xiujin, Zuo Xiang, and Jiang Ruhai were all in the palace.

Gu Yanbai was dressed gorgeously, and the shackles on his hands were removed. His attire and demeanor invisibly confirmed the accusations of those court officials.

"Your Majesty, this Gu Yanbai is the prince of Sang State. If he stays with Your Majesty like this, it would be very dangerous."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard that he is the son of the traitorous Gu family. If that is true, then he is the heir of the late emperor. How can the Prince of Sang do this..."

"Right now, whether Dayan and Sang are in alliance against the enemy and are truly cooperating, or whether there will be another war, is still unknown..."

"Your Majesty, please tell me clearly who Gu Yanbai is and how to deal with him..."

Gu Yanbai listened to the words of the court officials, but he calmed down and looked silently at Yan Xiuchen above.

Yan Xiuchen held the cup of tea calmly, waiting for everyone to finish speaking before he slowly spoke.

"What do you mean, and what suggestions do you have?"

Hearing this, several people stepped forward silently, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, if this Gu Yanbai is really the heir of the previous emperor, the people of the Gu family should keep him in Dayan and give up the position of Prince of Sang. Whether he is a county prince, a prince, or a prince, it all depends on your majesty's opinion."

"Although he is the descendant of a traitor, he is still the descendant of the late emperor..."

"Shut up!" Gu Yanbai became annoyed instantly after hearing this.
