Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

In the bedroom of Fengxiang Palace, Jiang Qingwu asked people to close all the doors as soon as he entered.

When Yan Xiuchen brought Zhong Quan to the outside of the bedroom, Xiao Luzi was blocking them and the door behind them was closed.

Several eunuchs and palace maids fell to their knees.

Seeing Xiao Luzi kneeling at the door blocking the way, Yan Xiuchen sneered and shouted, "You dare to stop me, get out of the way..."

"I dare not, but Her Majesty said that even if you cut off my head and broke in, you would not be able to see Her Majesty."

"You..." Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth helplessly, walked around Xiao Luzi and strode in.

But I never thought that after entering the bedroom, there was still a door outside the bedroom.

Wanyue stood straight and bowed calmly to Yan Xiuchen.

"This slave is here to meet Your Majesty."

"Wanyue, move aside. Things are not as you see. I can explain..."

Despite what Yan Xiuchen said, Wan Yue remained unmoved, neither hurried nor slow, nor did she give way.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen was about to rush in, but he heard Jiang Qingwu's voice from inside.

"Your Majesty, you did nothing wrong. It is I who am narrow-minded."

"From now on, life in this palace will be like this every day. I will have to learn to get used to it."

"What those concubines said is not wrong. This is the harem, and you are His Majesty. If there is only one queen, others will laugh their heads off."

"I want to rest early today. If I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"By the way, tomorrow, I will take Wanyue back to the Marquis' Mansion. Your Majesty will be attending the morning court and will be busy with government affairs, so I will not go to the Shangyang Palace to pay my respects and say goodbye."

Yan Xiuchen listened to Jiang Qingwu's words, feeling anxious, annoyed and helpless.

"Jiang Qingwu, take back these nonsense words. What about your concubine and your majesty? If you can't speak properly, I will go in and teach you myself."

"Your Majesty, are you going to punish me? Banish me to the cold palace, or divorce me. It would be better for me to leave and make room for someone else."

Jiang Qingwu changed his clothes as he spoke. He couldn't stay in the palace for a moment longer.

She didn't want to waste her time and energy on jealousy over those women.

In that case, wouldn't she be the same as the late Empress of Emperor Xuanhe?

She doesn't want to become a resentful woman in the deep palace.

What's more, Yan Xiuchen is most likely planning something, so she has to cooperate with him.

But no matter what, she had to go out and get some fresh air, otherwise the images of those beauties would keep repeating in her mind.

Every voice and every smiling face is more powerful than the enemy's swords, spears, swords and sticks.

Outside the door, listening to Jiang Qingwu's words, Yan Xiuchen became even more helpless. He took a deep breath, turned around and glared at Zhong Quan fiercely.

With just a look, Zhong Quan immediately knelt down.

"What you did was extremely stupid. If the Queen doesn't open the door today, I will cut off your head and kick it like a ball tomorrow."

"Ah?" Zhong Quan looked up in fear, then quickly crawled towards the door of Jiang Qingwu's dormitory.

"My queen, please help me. I know I am wrong. Please have mercy on me. No, please open the door..."

Zhong Quan begged outside for a long time, but there was no movement from inside.

Yan Xiuchen felt something was wrong and finally couldn't help himself and pushed Wanyue away.

When I forced my way in, I discovered that the back window was open and no one was in the house.

……

As the sky darkened, Jiang Qingwu sneaked out of the palace, wearing a green casual suit, holding two swords in his hands and silver in his arms.

He did not return to the Marquis' Mansion, but went to Liushan Hall in Dongcheng.

Liushan Hall still looked the same as before. In the yard, there were two tables with seven or eight men, dressed in coarse linen clothes, sitting around the table drinking and making a lot of noise.

She had never been here since she became the queen. The people who stayed here temporarily had changed one after another, and many of the people who came to help were people she didn't even know.

She didn't know those people, and they didn't know her.

"Girl, it's so late, are you going to stay somewhere?" Someone saw her looking around in the yard and came over to ask.

Before Jiang Qingwu could say anything, Feng Qizi came out from the backyard carrying two jars of wine. When he saw Jiang Qingwu, he was startled and quickly put down his things and ran over.

"Young lady... Queen..."

"Shh..." Jiang Qingwu stopped Feng Qizi who was about to salute, and gestured to the frightened old woman beside him.

"Don't talk nonsense. I just came over to sit here. Nothing much to do. Do you have anything to eat?"

Feng Qizi came back to his senses and waved to the old woman, "Quick, go prepare some good wine and food for the girl..."

Looking at the people drinking and making noise nearby, Feng Qizi gestured to Jiang Qingwu, "Miss, the backyard is quiet..."

When Jiang Qingwu followed Feng Qizi to the backyard, a familiar voice came from the pavilion in the distance.

"The moonlight is like water, and the beauty is like jade. It is really pleasant. It would be even better if there was some wine."

Gu Yanbai sat in the pavilion, leaning against a pillar, strumming the green jade flute in his hand.

Feng Qizi looked around in bewilderment, "Hey, just now..."

"He is good at martial arts, so he must have followed me all the way." Jiang Qingwu sighed helplessly, and then remembered something.

"By the way, who are those people at the two tables in the front yard? They look strong and powerful, and don't look like beggars or vagrants..."

"Oh, they are craftsmen. We have built a charity hall in Liu Village these days and are repairing the house over there, so we asked them to come and help."

Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly and gestured to Feng Qizi, "Give him some wine."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Seeing Feng Qizi leave, Gu Yanbai's eyes showed some seriousness and he lowered his voice.

"I took a look and they didn't look like craftsmen, but... I couldn't tell what they were either."

Jiang Qingwu's eyes changed, and he sat silently at the table, "I don't think so, but we came here suddenly, and they didn't follow us. They were ahead of us, so they can't be coming for us."

"So, I'm not that nervous. Let's drink first and see where they come from."

"Maybe... we are overthinking it."

Gu Yanbai smiled and sat towards Jiang Qingwu. When he saw Feng Qizi and the old woman bringing wine and food, he sighed softly.

"I have food and drink, which is better than Yan Xiuchen. I guess he's mad now. He must be unable to eat or sleep."

"Why, are you feeling sorry for him? If you feel sorry for him, you should go back to accompany him, but I'm afraid that in the future, it won't be your turn on even and odd days."

"Haha..." Gu Yanbai laughed loudly when he heard the voice, and poured the wine into his mouth, "I'm afraid this wine and food will be sour today."

"As for me, I came here on orders. He was worried that something might happen to you, and he was also afraid that you would be angry if he followed me, so he asked me to protect you secretly."

"You know how I can't hold it in secret. I must have a drink with the little beauty."

Gu Yanbai said as he poured wine for Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu smiled softly, raised the wine glass, gestured to Gu Yanbai, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I didn't leave the palace because I was angry with him. I have thought about this matter carefully. Even if he changed his mind, it wouldn't be so fast and so sudden."

"I think he's planning something."

"You're really smart. If you weren't so blinded by your emotions, you would have understood it much faster."

Gu Yanbai said, moving closer to Jiang Qingwu, "I don't know what he's up to."

"But I saw him invite Xu He into the palace, and I don't know what he said..."

"Moreover, those rouges were just randomly picked by Zhong Quan from the inner palace. They were not selected by him personally."
