Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

A promise to last forever?!

"This woman said she would be with you until old age..." Jiang Qingwu smiled disapprovingly.

But before he could finish his words, he turned around and saw Yan Xiuchen's dazed and stunned look.

When Xu Qingran, who was outside the carriage, saw Yan Xiuchen, she immediately smiled.

The two looked at each other, one with a look of surprise, the other with a smile on his face.

Jiang Qingwu saw the whole scene.

She's like a clown, looking at this, looking at that.

"Look, 'Noble Concubine Shen' is here." Jiang Qingwu looked at the dazed Yan Xiuchen, his heart full of sourness and bitterness.

Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses and turned to look at Jiang Qingwu.

I thought he would explain something, but he said nothing.

"Jiuhan, take her back home."

Take her home?

Jiang Qingwu seemed to not be able to believe his ears and looked at Yan Xiuchen in astonishment.

Regent's Palace, beside Beiyuan Lake.

Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Qingwu sat beside the stone table, while Xu Qingran stood in front of them in a proper manner.

"How are your parents?" Yan Xiuchen asked expressionlessly, holding a cup of tea.

It was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but Jiang Qingwu felt like something was blocking his heart.

I feel depressed and like I can't breathe.

"Your Highness, my parents are in good health. I would like to ask my daughter to pay her respects on their behalf."

Xu Qingran bowed slightly and then handed over a letter.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen silently put down his teacup and took the letter.

After reading the letter, Yan Xiuchen's expression remained calm. He raised his eyes slightly and looked towards Xu Qingran.

"What the king said is of course valid."

"Tang Zhi, take her to Qingfeng Pavilion and let her stay there first."

Jiang Qingwu's heart seemed to freeze. He looked at Yan Xiuchen in disbelief and froze in place for a moment.

Xu Qingran said that they had a promise to be together till old age.

Yan Xiuchen said that what he said naturally counts.

Xu Qingran said that she wanted to be a concubine.

Yan Xiuchen said that they would move into Qingfeng Pavilion first.

What this woman said about the promise of growing old together... could it be true?

Jiang Qingwu smiled bitterly in his heart and couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness: Haha, men...it turns out that all crows are the same black.

"Your Highness...I have something else to say. I want to talk to you alone."

Seeing that Tang Zhi was approaching, Xu Qingran suddenly spoke.

This statement brought Jiang Qingwu back to his senses.

She's such a clown.

If I don’t leave now, will I have to wait for Yan Xiuchen to chase me away?

Jiang Qingwu clenched his fists slightly and suddenly stood up.

I wanted to get angry, but then I thought, she is as gentle as water, why should I be like a shrew?

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu bowed to Yan Xiuchen politely.

"I will not delay your Highness and my sister from reminiscing about the past. I will take my leave now."

The word "sister" made Yan Xiuchen's heart skip a beat.

When I turned around to say something, Jiang Qingwu had already walked away.

Coming out of Beiyuan, Jiang Qingwu's steps became faster and faster.

My heart seemed to be filled with bitterness, my fists were clenched so hard that they hurt, and the scarlet in my eyes was slightly covered with a layer of tears.

Wan Yue, who was following behind, looked at Jiang Qingwu cautiously, not daring to say anything, but wanting to comfort him.

But before they could open their mouths, they bumped into Jiuhan who was in a hurry to go out.

Jiuhan assigned a dozen personal guards from the palace and prepared to leave through the side door of the West Garden.

When he saw Jiang Qingwu, he immediately bowed.

"girl……"

"What happened?"

Jiuhan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Girl, nothing happened..."

"I don't believe it? Where are you taking these people? Does Yan Xiuchen know?"

"Godfather, I'm afraid it's not convenient for you right now. It's just a small matter..." He shouted and was about to leave, but Jiang Qingwu grabbed his arm.

Helpless, Jiuhan hesitated and spoke, "My dear, Jiuye was escorting Chen Ang from Shu to the capital, but was ambushed 50 miles outside the capital..."

"Chen Ang? Which Chen Ang?" Jiang Qingwu was shocked, he had realized something.

Jiuhan was silent for a moment and said, "In the Xiling battlefield, the commander of the Xifeng Valley Vanguard Army is Chen Ang."

"I am rushing to provide reinforcements. Please do as you please, young lady."

Jiuhan finished his words hurriedly and led his men out of the palace.

Chen Ang?! Jiu Ye had been missing for some time. Did he find Chen Ang?

It turns out that Yan Xiuchen has been investigating the Xiling battlefield. He found Chen Ang and wanted to bring him back to testify?!

Jiang Qingwu was thinking about something in his mind, and then he chased after him without saying a word.

By the Beiyuan Lake, Yan Xiuchen sent away everyone around him.

Even Xiao Liuzi and Tang Zhi, who served him, were sent away.

"What do you want to say? I don't give you much time."

"Your Majesty just said that what you said is true."

"I want to be your Highness's concubine. I only ask for the position of concubine."

"Impossible." Yan Xiuchen blurted out without thinking, and then picked up the letter.

"In his letter, your father only said that he wanted me to take you in and take care of you, but he never said that he wanted you to be his concubine."

Hearing the voice, Xu Qingran bent down and knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Your Highness was seriously injured and poisoned on the battlefield of Xiling that day. It was my daughter's father who treated him and saved His Highness' life."

"It is my daughter who has been taking care of His Highness day and night."

"Your Highness said that he would unconditionally grant my daughter a wish."

"You made this promise to my daughter, not to my father."

Yan Xiuchen's brows were deep and his expression was solemn. He gently grasped the golden bronze fan in his hand.

"Since this is what I said, then the boundaries of this wish will be determined by me."

"You...are not qualified to be my woman."

Xu Qingran raised her eyes slightly, with a look of grievance on her face, "Your Highness and I have been together day and night for ten days."

"Your Highness is cold, I will take off my clothes to keep you warm."

"Your Highness has a fever, so I undressed you without regard for gender differences."

"Everyone in Wencheng knows that my daughter has an affair with a powerful person in the capital."

"My daughter's innocence has been damaged, Your Highness, are you going to turn a deaf ear to it and abandon it?"

When Yan Xiuchen heard what Xu Qingran said, his brows instantly furrowed and he clenched his fists secretly.

He knew nothing about this.

During those ten days, he was poisoned and unconscious, and was hardly awake.

He could neither admit nor deny it.

"If that's the reason, I can clarify it for you."

"I will also give you a good marriage, a first wife, and a life of wealth and honor."

When Xu Qingran heard this, she moved closer to Yan Xiuchen.

"No, I don't want it. I am in love with Your Highness. Don't you know that?"

"Your Highness, you are recuperating in my home. I know your injuries and the poison in your body best."

"Miss Jiang probably doesn't know yet that your leg injury is completely fine, and I don't know if you have the poison in your body. I think I can cure it."

"I only want to be your concubine and will never disturb you and Miss Jiang."

"If Your Highness cannot help me, I will go see Miss Jiang..."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. Holding the golden bronze fan in his hand, he suddenly threw the teacup on the table towards Xu Qingran.

"Ah..." Xu Qingran exclaimed, and then quickly knelt down in front of Yan Xiuchen.

"Dare to threaten me?" Yan Xiuchen's voice was cold. He then pulled Xu Qingran over and grabbed her neck.

"Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were given to your Xu family."

"The imperial court needed to purchase medicinal materials, and gave them to your family. The title of imperial merchant preserved the wealth of your Xu family for generations."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen's eyes were filled with sinister intent, "Lifesaver? Humph, I recognize... you as my savior."
