Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When the imperial concubine heard Jiang Qingwu's words, she sneered and looked at her with contempt.

"You are just the daughter of a marquis from another family. Marrying the prince of the current dynasty is already marrying up..."

Jiang Qingwu smiled calmly and looked up at the imperial concubine, "Since it's too high to marry, I won't try to marry her."

Hearing the voice, Shen's mother suddenly stood up and walked forward.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is of a distinguished status. It is already unfair for her to be his equal wife. Now, she has to..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingwu interrupted Shen's mother loudly.

"Since you have been wronged, you will be my legal wife. I am willing to give up my position as legal wife."

Jiang Qingwu bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, now the subjects and the people are discussing the cancellation of the engagement."

"You keep saying that Your Majesty and the royal family are using the imperial power to oppress me and force me into a marriage. Your Majesty, I am also thinking about Your Majesty and the royal family."

"If we don't cancel the engagement, I'm afraid people will say terrible things and the entire royal family will be criticized."

The emperor's face changed and he opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.

"You...you dare to threaten His Majesty?" Concubine Shen slammed the table and shouted.

"I dare not, but I am thinking about your majesty and the royal family."

Hearing this, Concubine Shen hurried towards Jiang Qingwu and said, "Jiang Qingwu, think carefully. If you really cancel the engagement, your reputation will be ruined."

"Will not the reputation of an abandoned woman be criticized by the people?"

"I advise you to think it over carefully. Who would marry a woman like you who has been abandoned by others?"

"How about I marry her!" Yan Xiuchen's voice came from outside the hall. The voice was not too loud, but it echoed throughout the hall.

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly, and he looked in the direction of the voice. Jiuhan had already accompanied Yan Xiuchen to the main hall.

He was wearing a black Su brocade robe woven with dense gold thread. His complexion was much better than yesterday, and he looked full of energy.

When the emperor saw that it was Yan Xiuchen, he hurriedly stood up and walked up to him, bending over and showing great concern.

"Royal brother, why are you here?"

Although the emperor and Yan Xiuchen were not from the same mother and Yan Xiuchen was fifteen years older than him, he ascended the throne because he was the only legitimate son.

First, he lacks the courage to defend the country and protect the nation, and second, he lacks the strategy and wisdom.

In order to secure his throne, when he ascended the throne, he asked Yan Xiuchen to be the regent.

Help him eliminate dissidents, stabilize the borders, and handle state affairs.

Over the years, he has relied entirely on Yan Xiuchen and treated him with great courtesy.

The one who was most happy that he returned safely from the battlefield of Xiling was the emperor, who was worried that he would not be able to recover from his injuries and would not be able to rule the world for him.

"If you have anything to say, just send someone to tell me. You even came to the palace in person because I told you to take good care of yourself.

"Greetings, brother. I heard that there was a lot of activity in Shangyang Palace, so I hurried over to take a look." Yan Xiuchen raised the corners of his lips slightly and said calmly.

"Your Highness seems to be very fond of joining in the fun these days." Concubine Shen said sarcastically.

Before Yan Xiuchen could speak, the emperor glared at Concubine Shen, then smiled and said, "It was all caused by that rebellious son."

"You just said, you..."

Yan Xiuchen chuckled and turned to look at Jiang Qingwu.

"Everyone in the city is saying that our royal family is using the imperial power to force marriage and oppress our subjects."

"This marriage must be cancelled."

The emperor was startled when he heard the voice, and he stood up straight and said firmly, "Yes, yes, retreat, we must retreat..."

"No...Father..." Yan Lin suddenly rushed into the hall, interrupted Jiang Qingwu's words, and knelt beside Jiang Qingwu.

"Father, I love only Jiang Qingwu, and I will not marry anyone else. This marriage cannot be cancelled, and she cannot marry anyone else."

Love? Will not marry anyone but her? Oh, in her previous life, she waited for three years, waiting for him to become the crown prince, waiting for him to be regent, waiting for him to ascend the throne.

But the result?

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu's eyes suddenly became fierce and he interrupted Yan Lin's words directly.

"Your Majesty, the Regent just said that he is willing to marry me. I... am willing to marry your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please grant me the marriage."

Yan Lin was startled and grabbed Jiang Qingwu, "What did you say? Qingwu, stop making trouble and stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Qingwu ignored Yan Lin and turned around to continue, "Your Majesty, I am not talking nonsense."

"It was because Your Highness led the troops to rescue the Xiling battlefield that I was able to break through and kill the enemy general and return with honor."

"The grace of saving my life should be repaid with my own body."

"Today, since the Third Prince and Sister Wanrong are in love and affection, I am willing to repay the Regent with my own body."

"Your Majesty, please grant me your permission."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu knelt down respectfully.

Yan Lin's face turned pale when he heard Jiang Qingwu's words.

Concubine Shen, Shen Wanrong, and even the Shen family, all thought that Jiang Qingwu was just angry and was just making a fuss.

No one expected that Jiang Qingwu, who had always treated Yan Lin as a child and obeyed him in every way, would be so determined to break off the engagement and even determined to remarry.

Now, everyone is dumbfounded.

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu kneeling on the ground, secretly clenched the golden bronze fan in his hand, his heart beating.

So... agreeing to marry him is just a favor to save your life and a pledge of love to him?

"Father, Qingwu said this just because he is angry with me. Don't take it seriously." Yan Lin spoke hurriedly before the emperor could come to his senses.

Concubine Shen also came up to persuade, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is first promised to the nephew, and then to the uncle, this is not appropriate..."

Yan Xiuchen's thoughts were suddenly pulled back, his brows tightened, and he looked up at Concubine Shen with a stern look on his face.

Fortunately, the emperor was smart and knew who to ask about this matter.

"Royal brother, you have not married for many years. You just said that you want to marry Jiang Qingwu, is that true?"

"Of course it's true." Yan Xiuchen said firmly.

When the emperor heard this, he ignored other people's opinions and only listened to Yan Xiuchen.

"Okay, let's do it this way, but this means cancelling the engagement and granting the marriage, and the imperial decree..."

The emperor couldn't even draft an imperial edict. He leaned forward slightly and looked at Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen raised the corners of his lips secretly and looked up at the emperor, "Then I will draft the decree."

…………

"The legitimate daughter of the Shunqing Marquisate, with her military achievements and honors, I hereby break off the engagement with the Third Prince in accordance with the Marquisate's wishes and grant her marriage to the Regent King Yan Xiuchen. I will be given the title of First-Rank Princess, the title of Chen, the Imperial Concubine's guard of honor, and a member of the Imperial Family's spy clan. I will also be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land..."

When Jiang Qingwu came out of Shangyang Palace, the contents of the imperial edict were still echoing in his ears.

It was that simple. In just two days, she saved her elder brother, broke off the engagement, and became Yan Xiuchen's first-rank princess.

But when she thought of the miserable past life, she felt that this was not enough.

Jiang Qingwu was just thinking about something anxiously when Yan Lin grabbed him and pulled him away without saying a word.

"You...you let me go. How can you keep pulling and tugging at me?" Jiang Qingwu lowered his voice and finally pushed Yan Lin away in an empty corner.

Yan Lin looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief and asked repeatedly, "Why, why did you agree to marry Uncle Wang."

"I am sincere to you, and I really want to marry you..."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, but she couldn't completely turn against Yan Lin yet.

If Yan Lin knew that she had heartlessly surrendered to Yan Xiuchen, she would definitely be on guard against her, and all the evidence she knew about Yan Lin would become a dead end.

Jiang Qingwu thought about it, raised his eyes to look at Yan Lin, and his voice became softer.

"You don't know, I saw him kill the spy you planted in the capital with my own eyes."

"Besides, my parents are in his hands, I can't refuse."

Yan Lin was suddenly startled, as if he understood something, and became excited.

"I knew that your heart is with me. You are threatening me because of your parents, right?"

"It's okay. I have a way to save your parents. I can exchange the antidote for your parents."

Yan Lin was in the imperial mausoleum last night. Even if he knew that his house was smashed, he probably didn't know that the antidote was stolen.

Jiang Qingwu pretended to know nothing and turned to look at Yan Lin, "...What antidote?"

Hearing this, Yan Lin quickly made up a lie.

"Oh, I heard...I heard that Uncle Wang was poisoned, and I just happen to have an antidote that can cure all poisons."

"Although there are only three antidotes, which can only last for three months, it is enough to replace your parents..."
