Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

She was indeed leaving; this was something she had decided long ago.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu slowly stood up and saluted to the Queen Mother.

"Yes, my heart has not changed. Now... I must go on this journey."

"It's just that I will trouble my mother to take care of the trivial matters in the harem."

The Queen Mother sighed softly and waved to Jiang Qingwu to get up. "When you were a child, you were playful, and you are still playful now."

"But, do you really want to hide this from Achen?"

Jiang Qingwu stood up and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "I am playful and my mother indulges me, but your majesty is the emperor, he cannot be playful as he pleases."

"Don't worry, mother. I will go early and come back early, so as not to worry you and Your Majesty."

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll indulge you. But you have to bring some people with you. It's not safe to go alone."

"Yes, I have a close bodyguard in the Marquis' Mansion who has been protecting me since childhood. He will accompany me on this trip. Don't worry, mother."

The Queen Mother nodded and smiled, "You are either in the army or in the capital. It's time for you to go and see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dayan."

"If there is anything fun or delicious, remember to bring it to me."

Jiang Qingwu bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I will never forget it."

……

In Shangyang Palace, Yan Xiuchen has been in a coma since taking the antidote.

I went from being burning all over to gradually calming down, and it was not until the evening that the fever subsided and I returned to normal.

"What's wrong, Imperial Physician Li?" Jiang Qingwu sat beside the bed, looking at Yan Xiuchen who was gradually calming down, and asked Imperial Physician Li.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty should have been detoxified and is now fine?"

"Are you sure?" Jiang Qingwu looked at Imperial Physician Li in disbelief.

Imperial Physician Li nodded heavily and said, "Since Your Majesty was poisoned, I have been studying this poison diligently. I understand it very well and there is absolutely no mistake."

Yes, how could there be any mistake? This is the antidote that Gu Yanbai exchanged his life for.

"It's good that it's okay, it's good that it's okay." Jiang Qingwu gently held Yan Xiuchen's hand, her eyes reddening.

I have been trying to find an antidote for the heart-eating poison for three years, and now... I have finally detoxified it.

"When will he wake up?"

"Your Majesty, you are fine. Maybe you will wake up soon, or maybe tomorrow..."

Jiang Qingwu nodded, vaguely realizing something, and turned to Li Imperial Physician, "Please continue to watch over His Majesty. Wait until he wakes up and is completely fine, then you can go back."

"Yes, it is my humble duty to protect Your Majesty."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the drowsy Yan Xiuchen and silently took Gu Yanbai's jade flute from under his pillow.

"Just rest and recuperate... I'll take your place."

Jiang Qingwu murmured softly, but still silently guarded Yan Xiuchen for a long time, until dawn the next day.

Before dawn, Jiang Qingwu took advantage of the dim moonlight, took his two swords and Gu Yanbai's jade flute, and left the palace lightly, leaving only a short letter.

By the time Yan Xiuchen saw the letter, it was almost noon.

Looking at the letter handed over by Zhong Quan, Yan Xiuchen snatched it away.

[The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful, the four seasons in the west sea are like spring, and the northern desert is vast and broad. I miss the mountains and rivers, rivers, lakes and seas of Dayan. ]

[Thinking about Brother Asheng in Sanshui City and Su Wenli in the East. Also thinking about looking at the world of Dayan for Nan Xiuye, and looking for Gu Yanbai everywhere. ]

[So, I want to be the free and spontaneous Jiang Qingwu again at the age of fourteen.]

[If you are safe in the palace, I will miss you like a tide. You must come back soon so that we can share the world...]

……

One month later, Sanshui City.

After the alliance with Sang State, Sanshui City, which is located on the border between the two countries, became much more stable and prosperous.

The last time I came here... was a long, long time ago. Today, Sanshui City is no longer as chaotic and messy as it was in the past. It is now prosperous and populated.

Jiang Qingwu was wearing a green brocade dress. She and Luo Ming, each leading a horse, walked through the main street of the city.

"Shortbread, delicious shortbread..."

"Sir, would you like to stay at our inn? Our inn is clean..."

Jiang Qingwu looked around and walked towards the tea stall not far away. "Shopkeeper... ask around. There is a King Wenyuan in Sanshui City. It seems that he has built a clan temple here. Do you know..."

"I know, I know. As for the Bai family, King Wenyuan is enshrined in the Bai family ancestral hall..." Before Jiang Qingwu could finish his words, the shopkeeper came over and started talking excitedly.

"The Bai family is now very prosperous. The imperial court has built a temple and ancestral hall for them. Even King Wenyuan has benefited from it. Our Sanshui City has also benefited from it."

Jiang Qingwu raised the corner of his lips slightly, took out a silver coin and handed it over.

"Yes, I was passing by here too. I heard that King Wenyuan had made great contributions to the court, so I wanted to come and pay my respects. I wonder how to get to the Bai Family Ancestral Hall where King Wenyuan is."

"Oh, it's only two or three miles from the east city gate. It's near Baijia Village and very easy to find."

"Okay, thank you, shop owner." Jiang Qingwu agreed. When he was about to leave with Ma and Luo Ming, he heard the sound of customers chatting at the tea stall.

"Have you heard? The Sang Kingdom is going to change its ruler. The crown prince will ascend the throne and the king will abdicate. He also said that he would open the gate to the east to allow trade and free travel. Our Sanshui City is going to be very lively."

"That's right. Now the two countries are in an alliance and the relationship is very good. Let's go to Sang Country someday to join in the fun and see what the new emperor looks like."

"No need to bother. I heard that the little emperor is a restless person. Someone saw him in our Sanshui City a few days ago."

"You may see them in the city."

Jiang Qingwu listened to the words behind him, his body stiffened in place, tightly gripping the reins, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Girl...Girl..." Luo Ming kept calling out, and Jiang Qingwu finally came back to his senses, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go first...let's go to Baijia Village first."

Baijia Village is very close to the east gate of Sanshui City.

It is indeed easy to find. Outside Baijia Village, a huge ancestral hall and ancestral temple were built.

Not only Jiang Qingwu, but a temple for King Wenyuan was also built in the front yard of the Bai family ancestral hall, and was worshipped by the neighbors.

When Jiang Qingwu and the others arrived, there were still people coming in and out occasionally.

Looking at the people coming in and out, Jiang Qingwu suddenly stopped.

"Luo Ming, look over there..." Jiang Qingwu pointed at two horses tied under a tree in the distance and frowned.

The two walked over at the same time and looked at the two horses. Luo Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Miss... these horses seem... seem to be, horses of the Jingxingsi..."

The horse from the Jingxingsi? Did Yan Xiuchen come after me? How could it be? Impossible!

Jiang Qingwu felt uneasy, but he didn't think about it any more.

The two walked around the temple and went to the ancestral hall in the backyard.

The ancestral hall is unlike the previous temples. It is very deserted and quiet, and there are even guards.

An old man outside the ancestral hall was wearing coarse clothes and sweeping the floor with a broom. When he saw Jiang Qingwu and the others coming in, he hurriedly stopped them with the broom.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't go in here. This is a private ancestral hall. You can't go in."

Jiang Qingwu heard the voice and walked towards him. "Old man, I came from the capital. I am an old friend of Bai Asheng. I came to Sanshui City this time to pay tribute to my old friend. Please give me some convenience."

Hearing this, the old man looked at Jiang Qingwu as if she were a monster, gazing at her with confusion.

"You're from the capital? An old friend?"

"That's right." Jiang Qingwu said, and seeing that the old man was still staring at her, she took out a silver coin and stuffed it into his hand.

"Uncle, we will be out soon. We just want to pay respect to our old friend."

When the old man saw the silver, he clearly hesitated, but after a moment, he suddenly stuffed the silver back.

"No, no, if it was any other day, I would let you in, but not today."

"Why not?" Luo Ming came forward and asked.

Hearing the voice, the old man looked around and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu.

"Two distinguished guests came today to visit an old friend. They said that no one can disturb us. Otherwise...why don't you wait until they leave before entering?"

Jiang Qingwu was suddenly startled and stared at the old man in front of him in amazement. Before he could come to his senses, a familiar voice came from the ancestral hall.

"No need, no one else can enter, only this girl can enter."

"Yes, this little beauty is very stingy. If you irritate her, you will be in big trouble."

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked in the direction of the voice, he froze in place.

A man dressed in white brocade clothes with ink embroidery, looking clean and elegant like a young man from an aristocratic family.

He wore a jade crown and a golden belt, and was dressed in a black brocade robe with auspicious cloud patterns. He exuded a cold, dignified and unapproachable aura.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the two people approaching, with a leisurely smile on his face.

Everything seems to have changed, yet it seems as if nothing has changed.

They are still the same as they were when they were young and first met...
