Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The captain of the Imperial Guard came in holding a jade sword inlaid with dragon patterns, and everyone was shocked.

Jiang Qingwu was also stunned. When she turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, Yan Xiuchen was also looking at her with a frown.

This jade sword is the most treasured thing of the late emperor and symbolizes the dignity of the emperor.

When the late emperor was alive, wherever this jade sword went, it was as if Your Majesty was present in person.

The late emperor even left a special instruction in his will that anyone who saw the jade sword would be equivalent to seeing the late emperor.

Jiang Qingwu had only heard of it before, and she had never seen this thing.

Now, it’s really an eye-opener.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xiuchen and the emperor could not help but kneel on one knee in greeting.

Jiang Qingwu and the Queen also came to their senses and knelt down quickly.

"Please give the late emperor's order." Yan Xiuchen and the emperor said in unison, then stood up.

The emperor took the jade sword and Yan Xiuchen picked up the letter.

The emperor looked at the jade sword, and pulled Yan Xiuchen in surprise.

"It really is my father's sword. I have never seen this jade sword since my father passed away. Where did it come from?"

As the emperor spoke, he looked at the letter in Yan Xiuchen's hand, then snatched it away with a look of shock.

Yan Xiuchen's face had already turned dark and gloomy.

"This...this, he..." The emperor opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he looked up and looked at the people in front of him, he closed his mouth helplessly.

"Royal brother... the late emperor's jade sword, this matter..."

Yan Xiuchen's eyes were filled with annoyance, but he sighed helplessly, "Captain Qian..."

"My subordinate is here!"

"Where is the person who sent the jade sword?"

"Driving a carriage, outside the West Palace gate."

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly, looked at Shen Wanrong, and said helplessly, "Take the Jade Sword and Concubine Yu and send them to the gate of the West Palace."

"Yes."

Everyone was stunned. Except for the emperor and Yan Xiuchen, no one else knew what was going on.

Jiang Qingwu watched Shen Wanrong being taken away, and looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion. Seeing that Yan Xiuchen had a brow lowered and did not intend to speak, he turned around and was about to chase after her.

But the next moment, Yan Xiuchen shouted loudly, "Today's matter ends here. Lin Yu plotted to murder the imperial concubine and has been secretly executed."

"Today, the late emperor's jade sword has appeared in the world. No one is allowed to tell anyone. Anyone who disobeys this order... will be killed without mercy."

Yan Xiuchen gave an order, which was no different from an imperial decree. The imperial guards and everyone else in the courtyard knelt down and listened to his orders.

Yan Xiuchen bowed slightly to the emperor, turned around, took Jiang Qingwu and strode out of the cold palace.

Jiang Qingwu kept staring at Yan Xiuchen, wanting to know something from him.

But Yan Xiuchen never said a word. He pulled her to the long street and headed towards the east gate. Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but push him away.

"Shen Wanrong is at the West Palace Gate. You take me to the East Palace Gate."

"You're afraid I'll see who took her away, aren't you?"

Yan Xiuchen sighed helplessly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of you seeing it, it's that I don't allow anyone else to see it."

Seeing Yan Xiuchen being so cautious, fearful and worried, Jiang Qingwu was also filled with doubts.

He frowned slightly, took a step back, and looked at Yan Xiuchen quietly.

"I heard my father talk about the Jade Sword of the Late Emperor. I know what it represents."

"I can't stop it, and I won't stop it."

"Now I just want to know who is holding the late emperor's jade sword, and who is determined to take Shen Wanrong away today."

"Ever since the late emperor passed away, the jade sword has disappeared. Who has it?"

The emperor has a simple mind and won't think so much.

But Jiang Qingwu knew that the person she took away was the one she had always wanted to kill but had not gotten rid of.

Now it is all before our eyes and we are about to achieve success, but someone shows up unexpectedly.

Faced with Jiang Qingwu's questioning, Yan Xiuchen was speechless.

He couldn't say anything, couldn't say anything. If he said one word, he would have to say ten thousand words to explain it clearly.

If it were explained clearly, it would not be of any benefit to Jiang Qingwu.

For many things, it is enough for him to carry them all by himself. That is enough.

"Yan Xiuchen, please speak up. At least let me know who Shen Wanrong is with and whether she is dead or alive."

Jiang Qingwu shouted at Yan Xiuchen and was about to lose control, so Yan Xiuchen hurriedly grabbed her.

"Calm down. The letter said to keep your mouth shut. Neither the king nor His Majesty will tell anyone."

"But believe me, that person who took Shen Wanrong away won't kill her, but he won't let her have an easy life either."

"I promise you that I will fulfill your wish and kill her."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen, then lowered his head helplessly.

She knew that if Yan Xiuchen refused to tell her, she would never be able to get the answer.

She's used to it.

"You always like to keep a lot of things in your heart. How many secrets are hidden in your heart?"

Yan Xiuchen lowered his eyes slightly and slowly let go of Jiang Qingwu, "A lot, you will know later."

"In fact, we haven't gained nothing. Concubine Shen and Shen Jing are dead, so it will be even more difficult for Yan Lin to get out."

"I will send you back home first. The Jiang family is very happy. The day after tomorrow your second brother and father will leave the capital for the war. You should stay at home and take good care of them."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen pulled Jiang Qingwu over and headed towards the palace gate.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen's back and felt uneasy.

From the very beginning, when she knew Yan Xiuchen was hiding something from her, she could only get angry. She felt that he didn't trust her and that he was unfathomable.

And now, every time she saw his silent and helpless expression, she felt a little distressed.

She knew that he must be carrying a lot of secrets that could not be shared with outsiders.

In the dark night, Jiang Qingwu had a gloomy face and walked slowly back to the Marquis' Mansion with his eyes lowered.

Wanyue and Zhuang Qing were standing in the yard. When they saw Jiang Qingwu coming in, they rushed over hurriedly.

"Girl, you are finally back. Are you okay? Have you resolved the issues in the palace?"

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, looked at the red lanterns hanging high in the yard and the servants coming and going, and his thoughts returned to the festive wedding.

"Have all the guests left?"

"Yes, it was not long ago that the master and his wife returned to Fuyunxuan."

"The master told you to come back and see him immediately, no matter how late it is."

Wan Yue said, motioning to Zhuang Qing who was standing beside her, "Zhuang Qing, go back to Wutong Garden first and prepare some food. Then prepare some hot water for the young lady and let her take a bath later."

"Yes, I understand." Zhuang Qing gestured with her hands, leaned forward slightly, and turned away.

……

After Yan Xiuchen sent Jiang Qingwu to the Marquis' Mansion, the carriage headed towards the outside of the city.

But not long after he walked, someone suddenly rode a horse to block Yan Xiuchen's way.

"Who is it?" Jiu Ye rode his horse, drew his sword, and immediately stood in front of the carriage vigilantly.

The other person was wearing night clothes and had his face covered without any scruples.

After stopping the carriage, he dismounted and showed the token to Jiu Ye who was blocking the carriage.

Seeing this, Jiu Ye couldn't help but put away his knife.

The man hurried to the window and echoed in a low voice, "Greetings to His Highness. The master has a letter for His Highness."

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly and reached out.

The beautifully wrapped letter, after being opened, contained only four big words: Life for Life.
