Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

In Beiyuan, lights were on everywhere, but it was completely silent.

There was not even a guard in the foggy yard, but the lights in the house were bright, exuding a hint of warmth.

Jiang Qingwu followed the two maids and went around to the back window of Yan Xiuchen's house.

Through the window, Yan Xiuchen and his confidant Jiuhan could be vaguely seen.

The two of them had their backs to the window and were talking about something.

"Godfather, she's here..." Jiuhan glanced at the rear window and handed over a bowl of soup.

Yan Xiuchen raised his eyes slightly, took the bowl of soup, and deliberately raised his voice.

"Jiuhan, it's too late, go and rest."

"Yes, godfather!" Jiuhan bowed his head slightly and secretly glanced at the rear window when he left.

Jiang Qingwu saw that everyone in the room had left, so he climbed in through the window.

The room was warm and filled with the scent of sandalwood.

Yan Xiuchen sat in a wheelchair, close to the table, holding a soup bowl in one hand and a memorial in the other, reading it attentively.

The commander-in-chief of the three armies and the regent of the current dynasty has such a low level of vigilance.

Jiang Qingwu was muttering to himself when Yan Xiuchen suddenly spoke.

"I heard...you went to my house because you were jealous?"

Jiang Qingwu trembled and stopped suddenly in fear.

Did you hear about it so soon? Wasn't this just half an hour ago?

"Haha...you are...well-informed."

Jiang Qingwu smiled softly and just as he walked in front of Yan Xiuchen, he saw something.

Looking at the bloodstain on Jiang Qingwu's neck, Yan Xiuchen shouted at him, "Come here."

Jiang Qingwu leaned forward in a daze, only to find that Yan Xiuchen was looking at her injuries, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

"Are you looking at this wound? It's okay, I just met a fool, don't worry about him..."

Hearing Jiang Qingwu's words, Yan Xiuchen's eyes changed and his face instantly turned cold.

"You rushed into Yan Lin's house with a knife in your hand, and acted like a scoundrel. Do you love him so much that you even disregarded your reputation for him?"

Yan Xiuchen's face was gloomy, and he exuded a strong sense of jealousy.

"I'm not doing this for him, I'm doing this for you."

Jiang Qingwu said seriously, then took out the small box from his arms and handed it over.

"Now, this is for you."

Yan Xiuchen was suddenly startled, looking at the box in front of him with a frown, and stood there in a daze.

"For...for me?"

"Yes, this is the antidote for the Heart-Eating Gu."

"I brought people to Yan Lin's mansion today, ostensibly to be jealous and to act like a spoiled brat.

"Actually, I just wanted to steal this antidote for you during the chaos."

Yan Xiuchen took the small box in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"You went to Yan Lin's house and made a scene, is that why?"

“Not entirely, but it’s mainly because of this.”

Yan Xiuchen calmed himself down and regained some of his calm and rationality.

"How did you know I was poisoned?"

Jiang Qingwu's head buzzed and his heart suddenly tightened.

"I... I heard him say outside Yan Lin's room that he had poisoned you and the antidote was in the study. I..."

Jiang Qingwu told a lie and was explaining it seriously, but Yan Xiuchen suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

"You are outside Yan Lin's room?"

Jiang Qingwu fell on Yan Xiuchen's legs and nodded in a daze, "Yes... yes."

"From now on, you are not allowed to go to his house."

Jiang Qingwu was stunned, and suddenly understood something.

Are you jealous?!

A hint of amusement flashed through Jiang Qingwu's mind. He smiled and suddenly moved closer.

There was tenderness in her eyes, and even her voice was softer, "Your Highness...are you jealous?"

Yan Xiuchen's pupils slightly dilated, and he tilted his head slightly, staring at her intently, "Who taught you... these, seductive tricks."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen reached out and grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her towards him.

He was so strong that with just one hand he could make people unable to resist.

Warm breath, scorching gaze, looking at Yan Xiuchen's lips kissing her, Jiang Qingwu's mind went blank in an instant.

"Godfather..." Suddenly a shrill shout came like a thunderclap.

Jiang Qingwu was suddenly startled and quickly escaped from Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen glanced at Jiu Ye who pushed the door open, looking like he was going to eat someone, "You'd better... have something to say."

Jiu Yeyao seemed to realize something, swallowed his saliva, and took a step back in fear.

"Well, I, I originally wanted to ask, why are the guards in the mansion suddenly... gone!"

"Godfather, I was wrong. I will leave right away..." Jiu Ye said, stepping back and preparing to leave.

But before Jiu Ye left, Yan Xiuchen's brows suddenly tightened, and the hand holding the golden bronze fan began to tremble suddenly.

The fan fell to the ground with a thud, and Jiang Qingwu suddenly realized something.

He turned around and looked at Yan Xiuchen, who was bending over, covering his heart, his face was pale and his brows were frowned in pain.

Jiang Qingwu panicked when he saw that something was wrong. "Your Highness... Your Highness... Yan Xiuchen, what's wrong with you?"

"Jiu Han..." Jiu Ye shouted outside and ran over quickly.

Jiang Qingwu had never seen Yan Xiuchen like this before.

In her eyes and in her memory, Yan Xiuchen was omnipotent and awe-inspiring. He always looked arrogant and powerful.

Even on the battlefield, she had never seen him so weak.

"Miss Jiang, please get out of the way." Jiuhan shouted softly, and he and Jiuye helped her to the bed.

Jiang Qingwu was pushed aside, staggered a step, and suddenly came to his senses.

"Heart-eating insect?!"

"The antidote, the antidote is here." Jiang Qingwu grabbed the small box on the table and walked towards the bed.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiu Ye couldn't help but look at Jiang Qingwu and looked at her with a questioning expression.

"Miss Jiang, do you know who poisoned your godfather?"

"Yan Lin."

"Then Miss Jiang, do you think we dare to give this antidote to our godfather?"

Jiang Qingwu opened his eyes wide and was speechless.

But looking at Yan Xiuchen lying on the bed, gradually becoming unconscious due to the pain, Jiang Qingwu could no longer care about so much.

He raised his hand and knocked Jiuye unconscious, then turned around and slapped Jiuhan.

Jiuhan was caught off guard and fell heavily.

When he stood up and rushed over again, Jiang Qingwu had already put the medicine into Yan Xiuchen's mouth.

"Miss Jiang..." Jiuhan shouted, grabbed Jiang Qingwu's wrist and pulled her up.

But when Jiuhan was about to have an attack, Yan Xiuchen coughed lightly and gradually regained consciousness.

"Your Highness... Yan?!" Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen who was gradually regaining consciousness and suddenly pulled back his hand.

"Godfather..."

Yan Xiuchen was still weak, his face was pale and his lips were as thin as paper.

"...Get out." Yan Xiuchen ordered in a low voice and signaled to Jiuhan with his eyes.

Jiuhan bowed slightly and waved to the guards at the door.

When Jiang Qingwu saw people carrying Jiu Ye away, they all left the room, picked up the small box beside the bed, and walked towards Yan Xiuchen.

"This antidote seems to work. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu reached out and stroked Yan Xiuchen's forehead, gently wiping away the sweat, "Do you still feel pain now..."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu in a trance, as if it was a scene in a dream.

In the past, Jiang Qingwu's best attitude towards him was to be impartial and indifferent.

Most of the time, they would stay by Yan Lin's side, being considerate to him and never even giving him a good look even when he was against them.

Now, unless...

She did this to please him for the sake of her parents' safety, and in order to use herself to take revenge on Yan Lin.

Thinking about it, Yan Xiuchen's expression slowly turned cold, "You can go now."
