Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

She had been to Yan Xiuchen's room many times.

Although it is ridiculously large, you can see it all at a glance.

Except for the desk in the southwest corner, which she didn't look at carefully, there was almost nothing to see anywhere else.

Jiang Qingwu looked around and went straight to the desk.

The table was filled with memorials from cities and states across the country, as well as court officials.

She had always known that Yan Xiuchen handled official documents for the emperor, but she had never expected that all these things were kept by him.

"Chengzhou is building a dam to prevent summer floods. Please approve it..."

Jiang Qingwu flipped through a memorial and suddenly remembered something. "Peace talks in Xiangcheng? I wonder how my elder brother is doing?"

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu searched the table but did not find the memorial about Xiangcheng.

"What are you looking for?" Yan Xiuchen's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Jiang Qingwu trembled in fright. When he looked in the direction of the voice, he found Wanyue following Yan Xiuchen with her head down.

"You...didn't you go to the palace?"

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly, but before he could say anything, Jiu Ye behind him spoke first.

"Miss Jiang, what are you thinking of doing here while your godfather is away?"

"You're not trying to steal some secret information... for the Third Prince, are you?"

Jiang Qingwu was startled suddenly, his eyes widened in anger, and he slammed the memorial in his hand on the table.

"I……"

"Shut up right there." Yan Xiuchen shouted angrily at Jiu Ye, and Jiu Ye immediately lowered his head in shame.

Jiang Qingwu also came to his senses, turned around and walked towards Yan Xiuchen.

"To tell you the truth, I came here to investigate while you were away."

"Who told you to hide something from me? If you won't tell me, I'll investigate it myself."

"But..." Jiang Qingwu folded his arms and glared at Jiu Ye fiercely, "But it is definitely not what Jiu Ye said."

Yan Xiuchen naturally knew what Jiang Qingwu wanted to investigate.

Whether it was about Jiang Jiu or Gu Yanbai, she must have many doubts.

There were things he really wanted to say, but the longer it took, the less he knew how to start.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen seemed to be thinking about something and not saying anything, Jiang Qingwu brought the topic back.

"Why didn't you go to the palace? I clearly saw the carriage from the palace..."

"We are not going to the palace, but to the Beijing Criminal Department."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen poured himself a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu took the teacup in a daze, and suddenly remembered something, "Chen Ang?"

"Yes, someone wants to kill Chen Ang."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen, suddenly realized something, and sat towards him.

"You deliberately didn't hand Chen Ang over. Are you trying to catch a big fish?"

"Did you catch the fish? Is it someone from the Shen family or Yan Lin's?"

Jiu Ye heard the voice and blurted out, "They did catch them, but after being tortured, they insisted that it was Miss Jiang who ordered it."

Jiang Qingwu was suddenly startled and pointed at himself in astonishment, "Me? Are you crazy?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen and said, "You asked me to come to the palace, isn't it because of this matter? You don't believe me, so you want to interrogate me?"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief, couldn't help but smile, and shook his head, "Of course not."

"You don't even believe that the person who assassinated your second brother was from the Regent Palace, so how can I believe that it was you who killed Chen Ang?"

"One of the things I asked you to come here today is the West Garden."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen gestured to Jiuye, and Jiuye took out a document from the bookshelf.

"Oh, that's what I was just about to say. Why did you open the door? Do you want me to go to the West Garden all the time?"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant is that Xiyuan will be given to you from now on."

Jiang Qingwu's face darkened, and he suddenly frowned, "You want me to live in Xiyuan? After all, I am the principal princess."

"You placed me so far away from you, what do you mean?"

Yan Xiuchen was stunned at first, then he sneered, and before he could say anything, Wanyue rushed over.

"No, girl, you are not allowed to live there."

"What I mean is that I will give you the West Garden as your private place."

Yan Xiuchen said as he handed over the document, "This is the written document. I have already written Xiyuan on it."

"From now on, Xiyuan will be yours privately."

"This king knows that you have more than just Wanyue and Luo Ming under your command."

"After you get married, you can keep your people in the West Garden. You can enter and exit freely through that gate without being restricted by the palace."

"If you want, you can have people guard the West Garden, or you can keep me out."

Jiang Qingwu stared at the seal of the Regent on the document in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"You mean, if we get divorced one day, I can move out of Xiyuan?"

"It's not possible to move it away, but you can do with it as you like, sell it or use it." Yan Xiuchen waved the golden bronze fan with a rustling sound.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu smiling visibly, he couldn't help but smile too.

"It's for sale. Who dares to buy it? I thought you wanted me to live in Xiyuan?"

Jiang Qingwu put away the documents while speaking, and looked up at Yan Xiuchen, "Where do you plan to let me live?"

"East Garden, or South Garden? Or..."

"Beiyuan." Yan Xiuchen interrupted Jiang Qingwu, "You are my princess, shouldn't you live with me?"

"You are the only one in this palace. Do you plan to have a separate house, room, or bed from me?"

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly, and he subconsciously rushed towards Yan Xiuchen and covered his mouth.

"Shut up...there are people here."

Yan Xiuchen grabbed Jiang Qingwu's hand and was about to retort when Jiu Ye on the side suddenly spoke.

"Godfather, Xu Qingran is still in Qingfeng Pavilion."

Jiu Ye’s words reminded Jiang Qingwu, and his face instantly turned ugly.

Yan Xiuchen glanced at Jiu Ye with a cold light in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Tang Zhi walked in from outside the door.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother's decree has arrived, and Miss Xu has been invited over."

"understood."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen with a puzzled expression, and followed Yan Xiuchen out of the door in confusion.

"The Empress Dowager has ordered that Xu Qingran should obey the order." The eunuch beside the Empress Dowager brought several guards with him.

And Xu Qingran was kneeling in the courtyard.

"The Xu family has been practicing medicine for generations. Their daughter is gentle, virtuous, and extremely intelligent. I like her very much. I have specially granted her the right to accompany me in Fenghe Palace. She will enter the palace immediately."

Before the imperial edict was finished, Xu Qingran was stunned, and Jiang Qingwu was also stunned.

She never thought that Yan Xiuchen could convince the Queen Mother to send her into the palace.

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, and moved closer to him.

"What are you going to do in the palace? Did you persuade the Queen Mother?"

"Yes, no matter what I do, I will never return to the palace again."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

After Xu Qingran finished listening to the imperial edict, she knelt forward and was about to say something when Yan Xiuchen interrupted her.

"Whether what you said is true or false, if you see Gu Yanbai again, tell him for me."

"Let him wake up."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen waved to the Queen Mother's men.

Several people then forcibly dragged Xu Qingran out of the yard.

But not long after Xu Qingran left, a white figure landed on the roof.

The guards in the yard swarmed over and drew their swords vigilantly.

But Gu Yanbai on the roof smiled calmly, "No need for her to tell me, I'm here right now."
