Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

【Past Life Memories】

In the 168th year of Great Yan, Crown Prince Yan Lin proclaimed himself emperor and killed all the rebellious followers.

No one in the former dynasty, the harem, or those who rebelled were spared.

Before the ceremony of enthroning the empress, Emperor Lin issued an imperial decree that Shunqing Marquis Jiang Ruhai had stationed troops in rebellion, had committed treason, and had colluded with rebels, and his entire family should be executed.

Those who disobey will be killed without mercy.

Emperor Lin personally led his troops to encircle and suppress the Shunqing Marquis' Mansion. No one in the mansion, including the entire Jiang family, nearly three hundred people, were spared.

At midnight, the former Regent Yan Xiuchen led his troops to rebel and enter the capital. Wherever they went, no one could stop them, and they fought all the way to Shunqing Marquis' Mansion.

Yan Xiuchen, dressed in armor and holding a golden bronze fan, rushed into the marquis's mansion just as Jiang Qingwu was slashing his throat with a knife.

It's too late.

The rain poured down in torrents.

When Jiang Qingwu was on the verge of death, he vaguely saw Yan Xiuchen in armor.

There are familiar yet unfamiliar voices in my ears.

"Jiang Qingwu... Jiang Qingwu, don't..."

"I'm here, I'm here, I'm late, please wake up and look at me..."

Yan Xiuchen, who was famous and always awe-inspiring, was in a mess at this moment. He held her in one hand and tightly grasped her bleeding neck with the other.

Looking at everything in front of her, she seemed to be pulled out of her body and stood aside as a spectator.

Her world suddenly became empty.

I can hear it and see it, but I can't touch it or move it.

The heavy rain had no effect on her, her body was out of control, and she seemed not to be herself anymore.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen holding her, she felt mixed emotions and her heart was broken.

In the end, she still missed it, just by a little bit, just a little bit.

"Yan Xiuchen?!" Yan Lin's shout woke her up, and also woke up Yan Xiuchen who was immersed in pain.

"You... you're not dead yet. You've been poisoned by the Heart-Eating Gu. Without an antidote, you won't be able to hold out for this long."

Yan Lin watched as Yan Xiuchen's Red Guards quickly rushed into the Marquis' Mansion and could not help but retreat.

The royal guards who were protecting him also panicked.

When Yan Xiuchen heard Yan Lin's shout, he instantly became furious. He waved the golden bronze fan and a burst of force came out, knocking down the royal guards who were blocking Yan Lin.

"Yan Xiuchen..." She shouted, but no sound came out.

Looking at Yan Xiuchen, whose face was ashen, wrapping his cloak around her covered in blood, she burst into tears but could not feel it.

"You want me to hand over the military power, I'll give it to you."

"You want me to have rights, and I'll give them to you."

"You want me to die, I can help you do that."

"But you shouldn't... kill Jiang Qingwu..." Yan Xiuchen approached step by step, took the knife handed to him by Jiuhan, and raised his hand to wave it.

Before Yan Lin could react, he chopped off his arm.

"what……"

Yan Lin's screams resounded through the sky, but soon, he could no longer make any sound.

Yan Xiuchen leaned over and placed the knife on his neck, going deeper and deeper until it touched the bone and cut through the cervical vertebrae.

The imperial guards knelt on the ground, looking at the beheaded Emperor Lin, and the war in the capital quickly ended.

"Please ascend the throne, Your Majesty..."

Outside the Marquis' Mansion, shouts were heard from both the surrendered generals and their followers.

Jiang Qingwu's heart sank.

Fortunately, fortunately, Yan Xiuchen did not die, and she did not kill him.

He avenged himself, and he can be the master of the day.

However, her relief soon disappeared.

In the heavy rain, Yan Xiuchen hugged her tightly and buried her in his neck.

Like a broken vase, so delicate and perfect, yet shattered beyond recognition.

"Don't be afraid, I will be with you... I will always be with you..."

Jiang Qingwu felt as if a needle was piercing her bones when she heard Yan Xiuchen's words in her ear.

"Yan Xiuchen..." She murmured, and soon realized something.

Blood oozed from the corners of Yan Xiuchen's mouth, and his face turned pale.

"Godfather..." When Jiu Ye and Jiu Han rushed over, Yan Xiuchen and she had both fallen to the ground.

A dagger stabbed into his chest without him even loosening his hand.

"No, Yan Xiuchen..." She shouted and tried to rush over, but she couldn't break free and couldn't move even a step.

Her heart was burning and roaring desperately as if it had been rekindled from ashes.

"Yan Xiuchen, Yan Xiuchen...no, no...I beg you, don't die, Yan Xiuchen..."

…………

"Brother Wang, no, wake up, don't die...Brother Wang..."

Yuya’s crying was like a thunder that struck Jiang Qingwu’s head hard.

The soul seemed to return to its place suddenly, and the body couldn't help but tremble.

"Yan...Yan Xiuchen?!"

Jiang Qingwu muttered in a trance, looking at Yan Xiuchen, who was lying on the ground in the distance, covered in blood and lifeless, his face as pale as paper.

"Ha, you're here. I forgot to tell you that the regent intended to rebel, resisted arrest and rebelled, and was executed on the spot."

Yan Lin walked towards Jiang Qingwu with a smile on his face. His eyes wandered over Jiang Qingwu. He slowly reached out his hand and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face.

"Don't cry, my beautiful lady... It's a good thing you didn't marry him."

"If you come back now, I can give you a concubine position. In the future, you can at least become a noble concubine or something."

Yan Lin had an evil smile on his face. When he reached out his hand again, Gu Yanbai, who was not far away, had already turned cold as ice and tightly clenched the jade flute in his hand.

Just as he was about to explode, Jiang Qingwu grabbed Gu Yanbai's wrist with a snap.

"Ah..." Yan Lin screamed in pain as Jiang Qingwu threw him aside.

Seeing Yuya and Jiuye throwing themselves on Yan Xiuchen and crying, Jiang Qingwu's head was buzzing and he rushed over with staggering steps.

"Yan Xiuchen..." Jiang Qingwu murmured, swallowing secretly, and fell to the ground.

There was clearly a voice in her heart telling her that this was not true.

But all she could see was the scene of her past life, when Yan Xiuchen died with her.

"Yan Xiuchen, I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I..." Jiang Qingwu cried, hugged him in his arms, and closed his eyes tightly.

"I beg you, I beg you... Please stay alive, I am sorry for you..."

"Why are you so stupid? Why...why did you die with me?"

Jiang Qingwu's sobs choked and she gradually lost control of her tears, making Gu Yanbai in the distance look a little dazed.

Wan Yue and Luo Ming looked at each other and hurried forward, "Girl...Girl, don't be like this..."

"It's me, I'm sorry for him, I'm stupid, I'm foolish..."

"Yan Xiuchen, open your eyes and look at me, I beg you, please..."

Yan Lin looked at Jiang Qingwu hugging Yan Xiuchen and crying bitterly, and he actually believed that Yan Xiuchen was dead.

"Alas, how pitiful! He who brings trouble upon himself will suffer the consequences. Considering the merits of Uncle Wang in fighting for Great Yan over the years..."

"Come here, announce the decree. The prince's uncle has died suddenly of a disease. The Prince Yun's Palace will hold his funeral according to the royal family's solemn ceremony and bury him in the imperial mausoleum with honor as the regent prince."

"Capture all the palace guards, detain the city guards, Beiyuan guards, and uncle's close associates... release them all."

Hearing this, the subordinates pretended to agree, "Your Highness is merciful, we will follow your orders."

Yan Lin secretly raised the corners of his lips, turned around and walked towards Gu Yanbai, "Sir, the big thing has been done, please follow me back to the mansion to recuperate."

Gu Yanbai sighed deeply, nodded slightly, and when he left with Yan Lin, he looked at Yan Xiuchen and the others in the yard with uneasiness in his heart.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu's sad look, Gu Yanbai stared at Yan Xiuchen closely.
