Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

In the Imperial Concubine's words, she was marrying above her station by matching with Yan Lin.

But now she is married to the powerful regent and is promised to have only one wife.

It’s ridiculous to think about it. She never heard these words until she died in her previous life.

Jiang Qingwu was a little dazed, and when she came to her senses, Jiang Ruhai had already agreed to the marriage.

"Your Highness is sincere, and I will keep it in mind. Queen Mother, your Highness and I have accepted this marriage."

The Queen Mother heard this and finally smiled from her tense face. "Okay, tomorrow I will ask Concubine Zhang to go to your house to formally propose marriage on my behalf."

"The three letters and six ceremonies, engagement, and wedding ceremonies are all handled by the royal family. My will and all regulations are second only to the emperor."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruhai and Su Su hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your humble servant, thank you for your grace, Queen Mother."

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch's shouting was heard outside the door, echoing throughout the hall.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly stood up and knelt down to greet them with his parents, but Yan Xiuchen did not move.

"Your Majesty! May your Majesty be well."

The three of them saluted, but after a long time without hearing a response, they realized something was wrong.

When I looked up, I saw not only the emperor, but also the imperial concubine, Shen Wanrong, and the palace maid who was dragged into the palace and taught a lesson.

There were also two other palace maids and the imperial guards who were carrying out the execution.

He even dragged the witness to settle the score with her?

Jiang Qingwu took a closer look and couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the blood-covered palace maid from afar, then turned to look at Jiang Qingwu. Seeing the uneasiness on her face, he instantly understood something.

"What's going on? Such a big fuss." The Queen Mother shouted coldly, and the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine turned their eyes away from Jiang Qingwu.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother."

"Hello, Queen Mother. My maid A'lu was picked flowers in the Changqiu Street Garden today. Jiang Qingwu abused her power and cut off her tongue and broke her legs."

"I have come to ask you what mistake Ah Lu made that caused our General Qingcheng to impose such a severe punishment on her."

I don't know what I did wrong? With Shen Wanrong around, how could I not know what I did wrong?

They've made such a fuss and even come here to make things worse.

Either he told the whole story, one to make his parents believe it and call off the marriage, and the other to spread rumors about Yan Xiuchen throughout the palace.

If she doesn't say anything, then she will have to take responsibility for the abuse of lynching and excessive punishment.

The aunt and niece came here with a good plan.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about this matter." Seeing the emperor sitting down next to the Queen Mother, Jiang Ruhai hurriedly began to refuse.

Before the Empress Dowager and the Emperor opened their mouths, the Imperial Concubine spoke impatiently.

"There are two other palace maids and the imperial guards who carried out the execution as witnesses. Oh, and Miss Shen was also present at the scene."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you'll know after you talk about it."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruhai turned to Jiang Qingwu who was kneeling in front of him and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Speak."

Jiang Qingwu calmed down and raised her hand to salute, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this matter was indeed done by me."

"This palace maid named A-Lu was rude and slandered me. I was just teaching her a lesson."

“Although there is a responsibility to punish excessively, it is not an abuse of criminal law.”

Hearing this, Concubine Shen chuckled and took two steps forward to ask, "Slander? How did you slander? What did you say?"

"If it's serious, I won't mind killing her. If it's just idle talk, I'll just slap her in the face..."

While Jiang Qingwu was hesitating, Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but frown.

Just as she was about to help Jiang Qingwu out, she suddenly spoke, "She said that I was an abandoned woman... I was betrayed by my best friend and the Third Prince, and I lost all my face."

"Just... humiliating my sister?" Shen Wanrong suddenly spoke and walked closer step by step.

Yan Xiuchen originally thought that he had said something unpleasant to Jiang Qingwu, but when Shen Wanrong opened her mouth, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, present here are two palace maids and the eunuch who leads the way, in addition to this servant."

"Why not invite them to the palace? They will naturally understand what was said at the time, and it can also prove that my sister did not abuse the criminal law."

Jiang Qingwu heard this and refuted, "How can we trust what others say? If Ah Lu can't say this, then I have the final say."

"You speak nicely, but how can you explain that Ah Lu had her tongue cut by you?" Concubine Shen shouted and moved closer to the emperor.

"However, since Ah Lu can't speak, why don't we invite those who were present at the time to come to the palace so that we can get to the bottom of this..."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but panic when she heard the voice, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, today's matter is the responsibility of this servant. Your Majesty, don't ask me. I am willing to accept any punishment."

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen spoke before the emperor could say anything.

"In my opinion, Jiang Qingwu is indeed outrageous."

Yan Xiuchen's voice drew all thoughts over, and the emperor and the empress dowager also looked over.

"Royal brother, you also think that Jiang Qingwu should be punished."

"Such a soft-hearted person is not what a general who has fought in many battles in the world should do."

As Yan Xiuchen spoke, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand holding the golden bronze fan, and Jiuhan strode towards the palace maid A'lu.

He reached out and broke her neck with a snap.

Seeing this, the two royal guards who were holding her immediately let go.

The two palace maids brought by Concubine Shen to testify were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

"A lowly slave who dares to humiliate my princess deserves death."

There was a sinister and bloodthirsty look in Yan Xiuchen's eyes, and his face was full of coldness.

emperor,"……"

Imperial Concubine: "..."

Shen Wanrong, "..."

"Your Majesty... This, His Highness actually..." Concubine Shen suddenly came to her senses and pulled the emperor's sleeve.

I had hoped that the emperor would stand on her side, but before the emperor could speak, the queen mother suddenly coughed, "How insolent!"

A cold light swept towards Concubine Shen, and she immediately shut up.

The emperor also came to his senses at this time. When he turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, Yan Xiuchen was winking at him.

"Oh, that, Marquis Shunqing, you two should get up quickly." The emperor hurriedly asked Jiang Ruhai and Jiang Qingwu to get up, and then he understood something.

"My brother handled this matter very well. This lowly maid who spread rumors and committed treason is guilty of capital crime!"

Jiang Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and he and Su Su bowed slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise."

Finished? Finished?

Is this... the feeling of having someone to back you up?

Why had she never thought that the former dynasty and the harem were so easy to talk to before?

Jiang Qingwu was standing aside, complaining in her heart, when she suddenly heard the Queen Mother calling her.

"Jiang Qingwu... I need to go back to the bedroom to take medicine. Please accompany me."

"Emperor, Xiu Chen, please follow Marquis Qing and the others to the Qingxiang Palace to wait for the banquet to begin."

"Yes, my son knows."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the empress dowager walking towards him, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Yan Xiuchen.

Although Yan Xiuchen also looked doubtful, he still nodded to Jiang Qingwu.
