Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When Jiang Qingwu rushed to Baihua Tower in Dongcheng, Yan Xiuchen and people from the Shen family were also there.

Although it was early in the morning and there were not many people on the street, the palace was still under martial law by the palace's guards.

All the irrelevant people in the brothel were asked to go outside. The women were all dressed in bright and colorful clothes, yawning and whispering.

"Miss..." Wanyue and Luo Ming came over from the crowd and nodded quietly to Jiang Qingwu.

Only then did Jiang Qingwu walk into Baihua Tower with peace of mind.

Yan Xiuchen and Shen Chengshan were already sitting at the table in the lobby of Baihua Tower.

Sitting at the table in the corner were the second prince Yan Nan, and Shen Jing, who was sobbing quietly beside him.

The madam and four girls were kneeling on the ground, with their heads lowered, not daring to make a sound.

"Why are you here?" Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion and asked.

Jiang Qingwu bowed slightly to Yan Xiuchen and Shen Chengshan, "I heard that something happened to the Second Prince, so I came to see him on behalf of the Queen."

"Sit down." Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu with some doubt and gestured to him.

Shen Chengshan's face looked ugly. He grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at the madam on the ground.

"Don't tell the truth, who was that woman yesterday?"

The madam was so frightened that she kowtowed immediately, "I don't know, I really don't know, my lord."

"In our building, there are girls and guests everywhere at night. This old slave... really doesn't know."

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly and said calmly to Shen Chengshan, "Don't be so nervous, Lord Shen. Let's talk slowly."

"Yan Nan, what happened yesterday? How did the daughter of Duke Shen end up in your bed?"

Hearing the voice, Yan Nan hurried over and knelt down in front of Yan Xiuchen with a plop.

"Uncle Wang, please make the decision for me. I really didn't know she was the daughter of Duke Shen."

"Last night, I was drinking with them in the room. There were four of them, and... and Shen Jing."

"That Shen Jing, wearing a veil, wanted to dance for me and kept seducing me..."

"I came here to look for my old lover. Although I liked her, I didn't ask her to go back to my room. But who would have thought that when I brought Hua Niang back to my room, she would lie on my bed..."

"Hua Niang can testify..."

"I saw how attentive she was, so I drove Hua Niang away and went with her..."

Before Yan Nan could finish his words, Shen Jing, who was crying beside him, knelt down.

"No, that's not the case. I was near the Shen Mansion yesterday and was knocked unconscious."

"When I woke up, it was already early this morning. I was framed. I was framed..."

Yan Xiuchen gently waved the golden bronze fan and looked down at Shen Jing.

"You mean, you didn't offer a dance, didn't offer yourself to him, and didn't lie in the second prince's bed?"

"Yes, no."

Yan Xiuchen nodded slightly and looked at the women beside him, "Do you think she went to dance yesterday..."

"Yes, yes..."

"Yes, it was her. She came into the Second Young Master's room with us yesterday to accompany him for drinking and entertainment."

"She said she wanted to dance for the Second Young Master, and she kept moving closer to him."

"For this, Hua Niang was very angry."

"The guy who delivered the wine also knows that the five of us drank with the Second Young Master for a long time."

Hearing this, Hua Niang also hurried forward and said, "Yes, when I and the Second Young Master went back to sleep, she was lying in his room, and she even took off her clothes..."

"She also said...she also said that she was new to Baihua Tower and had never received a guest before, so she wanted to give her first time to the Second Young Master..."

"The Second Young Master then drove me out."

Yan Xiuchen raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Chengshan, then smiled and said, "Duke Shen, come to think of it, it sounds like the second prince's words are more credible."

"After all, there are so many people testifying?"

Duke Shen's face was gloomy and terrifying. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Shen Jing with great rage.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu cleared his throat and said faintly, "Come to think of it, this is not a big deal."

"This daughter of Duke Shen is a perfect match for the Second Prince."

"I was originally planning to give it to the third prince, but now that this has happened, I can give it to the second prince."

"Otherwise, if this gets out, Miss Shen Jing might not be able to survive."

Duke Shen was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, then suddenly stood up and perfunctorily saluted Yan Xiuchen.

"The Regent has the final say."

After saying this, Duke Shen walked away angrily.

Yan Xiuchen smiled secretly and turned to look at the Second Prince.

"No matter what, she is the daughter of Duke Shen. You can't treat Miss Shen as a prostitute."

"Yes, Uncle Wang...Uncle Wang is the one who makes the decision."

"Then take her into the Second Prince's mansion and make her a concubine."

"Concubine?!" Shen Jing looked up, her face full of surprise and grievance.

Jiang Qingwu chuckled when he heard the voice and walked towards him.

"What else? The Second Prince's wife is the legitimate daughter of the Dongling Marquisate. Don't you know what your own status is?"

"Why, do you still want to be the prince's consort?"

Shen Jing looked up at Jiang Qingwu, her eyes full of sternness and she glared at her with gritted teeth.

"Someone framed me. I was really abducted."

"When Princess Yuya held a martial arts competition to recruit a husband, I saw your martial arts skills. Although your martial arts skills are mediocre, your Qinggong skills are excellent."

"How could you be captured so easily? And you are a witness."

"The Second Prince has witnesses."

Shen Jing opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment, so she could only lower her head helplessly.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xiuchen put away his golden bronze fan with a rustle, stood up and said, "Come here, pass on my order."

"The Second Prince has acted absurdly. He has been confined to his residence and has taken Shen Jing, the daughter of Duke Shen, into his residence as a concubine."

"Baihua Tower is closed down, and those involved are expelled from the capital."

Upon hearing the voice, the Second Prince rushed over, pulled Yan Xiuchen's brocade robe, lowered his voice, and said hesitantly, "Uncle, Uncle, please, can you..."

"Can Hua Niang stay?"

Yan Xiuchen frowned, and before he could say anything, Jiang Qingwu said, "Then follow Miss Shen into the mansion as a concubine."

"You..." Shen Jing shouted, and just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Yan Xiuchen, "Well, as you wish, stay in the Second Prince's Mansion."

Having said that, Yan Xiuchen strode out of the gate of Baihua Tower.

Jiang Qingwu smiled and helped the Second Prince up, "Who is Hua Niang?"

The girl who was kneeling on the side quickly knelt over and kowtowed to Jiang Qingwu, "Greetings, young lady."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu took out a jade hairpin from his head and inserted it on Hua Niang's head, "Young lady, please be happy. Come to my house some other day and treat me to a glass of wedding wine."

Upon hearing this, Hua Niang immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, Hua Niang... Thank you for your grace, young lady."

In front of everyone, Jiang Qingwu slapped Shen Jing hard in the face.

When He Wanyue and the others left, Shen Jing's face was as black as coal and he was looking at her viciously.

After walking out of Baihua Tower, Jiang Qingwu saw Yan Xiuchen's carriage waiting not far away.

He took a deep breath and got in the car.

Jiuhan saw Jiang Qingwu get on the car and then sent the driver to drive away.

Yan Xiuchen saw Jiang Qingwu sitting aside with a grim expression, neither looking at him nor speaking, and sighed helplessly.

He turned around, took a bag of snacks, opened it and handed it to Jiang Qingwu.

"I went to West City Street to buy these freshly baked sesame cakes this morning. Come and try them."

Jiang Qingwu's eyes lit up when he saw the sesame cake handed to him. He turned his head to glance at Yan Xiuchen and snatched it away.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but smile. He gently waved the golden bronze fan and leaned towards Jiang Qingwu.

"Kill three birds with one stone, what a good trick!"
