Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The Queen Mother stood in the bedroom and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yan Xiuchen and his group leave the Fenghe Palace.

"Queen, this matter cannot be concealed for long."

"Yes, I really didn't expect that Xiuchen valued her so much."

Hearing this, Nanny Zhong bowed her head slightly and said, "She is fine. She has been moved to another cell."

The Queen Mother sighed heavily, shook her head slightly, and sat back in her chair.

"We have a poor family in Yan State. The eldest prince has suffered from a cough for many years, the second prince is unruly, and the third prince is of humble origin and has evil intentions..."

"Last year, Concubine Yu died and two people were killed. Yan Lin cannot escape responsibility. In addition, the harem is controlled by the Shen family."

"I have to think about the future of the Great Yan Kingdom."

Nanny Zhong also sighed secretly after listening to this, and murmured in a low voice, "What the Queen Mother said is very true."

"If the Great Yan Kingdom is entrusted to the Regent, the choice of the princess must be carefully chosen."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes became even more certain.

"Even if Jiang Qingwu is not Yan Lin's man, he is not the best candidate."

"And now that Xiu Chen is injured and the Xiling battlefield has suffered heavy losses, the people in the court who supported him have begun to waver."

"If Jiang Qingwu continues to interfere, there will be endless troubles and we will be in danger."

Nanny Zhong sighed secretly, looking embarrassed.

"But Jiang Qingwu is the only daughter of Shunqing Marquis. His daughter cannot be disposed of casually. There must be a crime."

Nanny Zhong said, and then stepped forward to comfort her, "According to my opinion, Queen Mother, it is better to use a soft approach than a hard one."

"What do you mean?"

Nanny Zhong smiled when she heard the words and said, "There are so many things going on with women in the harem and the backyard. No matter how powerful the prince is, he doesn't understand. Even if he wants to protect them, he can't."

"Jiang Qingwu is a martial artist. She can't do the work of a mistress, such as looking after the accounts and managing the household expenses."

"If another beautiful concubine is sent to the palace... Jiang Qingwu dares to destroy the Third Prince's palace. There is no guarantee that he will not cause trouble for the prince."

"If the prince is tired of her, wouldn't that be better than us taking action?"

Nanny Zhong's words seemed to have opened up the Empress Dowager's Ren and Du meridians, and in an instant she had chosen the candidates for her beautiful wife and concubines.

"That's it. Let's lock her up for the night. Tomorrow morning, bring her to see me."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

As night fell, the air became damp and cold, and it became even colder.

Although Jiang Qingwu was moved to a new cell in the dungeon, it was still a dark, damp and cold dungeon, and there was still only a pile of hay.

Jiang Qingwu curled up in the corner, gradually feeling dizzy and shaking all over.

"This time, I will definitely get seriously ill." Jiang Qingwu's eyelids were heavy, and he squinted and muttered, and then he smelled a strange fragrance.

Cigarette? Smoke?

By the time Jiang Qingwu came to his senses, it was already too late. In a trance, he saw a figure approaching.

Her steps were light. She was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, a black veil, and a black cloak.

Jiang Qingwu was startled and forced himself to stay awake a little.

"You... who are you?" Jiang Qingwu asked, sitting up straight with difficulty.

"I want to kill you. You have made my girl suffer so much humiliation. How can I let you go?" The palace maid murmured softly, getting closer and closer to Jiang Qingwu.

"I will escort you as ordered."

As she spoke, the palace maid suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve, leaned over and stabbed at Jiang Qingwu.

The desire to survive suddenly awakened Jiang Qingwu, and he reacted abruptly and grabbed the other person's wrist.

Watching the dagger getting closer and closer to him, Jiang Qingwu pushed it away with force and stumbled to his feet from the ground.

"Kill me? Do you think you can...kill me?"

Jiang Qingwu staggered against the wall and shook his head vigorously, trying to stay awake.

I thought she was just a palace maid, but I didn't expect her to be so skilled.

It shouldn't have been a difficult task to deal with, but at this time, not only was he a little sick, he was also drugged by smoke and had no strength left in his body.

After barely holding off a few moves, he was stabbed in the shoulder by the opponent.

Jiang Qingwu felt pain in his shoulder and instantly lost all strength, falling heavily to the ground.

Seeing the other party getting closer with a dagger in his hand, Jiang Qingwu grabbed the other party's hand and used all his strength to turn the handle of the knife with his backhand.

The dagger suddenly pierced into the opponent's lower abdomen, and the person fell to the ground.

Jiang Qingwu immediately reacted upon seeing this, "Someone, help me... Kill, someone is killing someone..."

I don’t know if it was because she shouted too loudly or because the woman was seriously injured and couldn’t hold on, but in the blink of an eye, she staggered away.

Looking at the disappearing figure and hearing the faint sound of the door closing, Jiang Qingwu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he fell to the ground with a thud and lost consciousness.

Outside the palace, when Jiang Ruhai and his wife returned home, it had already darkened.

Jiang Qingbai was practicing swordplay in the mansion. When he saw his parents, he looked behind him and asked, "Where's Ah Wu?"

"Awu? Didn't he come back a long time ago?"

Jiang Qingbai was stunned for a moment, threw the sword in his hand to the person nearby, and then shouted to Wanyue, "Go and find the young lady."

"I just came back too. I bought her favorite sesame biscuits and magnolia cakes from a shop on West Street. I thought she wasn't at home."

Jiang Qingbai supported Su Su and walked back to the house while talking.

"Why did this girl come back first? Wasn't she with you? Is there anything wrong in the palace? How is the marriage negotiation going?"

"Something happened, but... Anyway, it's nothing. The marriage is settled."

Jiang Qingbai chuckled, helped Su Su sit down, and then sat aside, "Father, mother, if Ah Wu is willing to this marriage, it is a good thing."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruhai sighed and picked up the teacup.

"The Regent's family is too powerful and they are strict and ruthless. I'm afraid that this girl's unruly personality will cause trouble."

"No, I think the Regent is very good to Ah Wu."

"Master...Madam..." Wanyue hurried in from outside, panting.

"Sir, Master and Madam, our young lady is not in the house. I have asked her and she has never come back."

"Never came back?" Jiang Ruhai suddenly stood up.

Hearing this, Jiang Qingbai stood up and said, "Don't worry, father. I will take the servants and guards to look for him on the street."

"Wanyue, take people around to look for the shops and inns that the young lady often goes to, or go to the homes of the generals to see if they are going out to play with other young ladies."

"Yes, Luo Ming and I will take people to look for them right away."

Su Su sat uneasily in the chair, silent for a long time, and suddenly stood up and walked towards Jiang Qingbai.

"It was the Queen Mother who said that Ah Wu had left the palace. We didn't see her, and she didn't say she was leaving the palace."

"This matter... could this matter be related to the palace? Is Awu still in the palace?"

Su Su asked in a panic. Jiang Qingbai calmed down and smiled to comfort her, "Don't worry, mother. I'll take someone to look for her right away."

"If you can't find him, go to the Prince Regent's Palace yourself. If this person is missing, the Prince Regent can always talk to the palace better than we can."

Jiang Qingbai left in a hurry, but when he reached the door, Jiang Ruhai quickly caught up with him, "Qingbai, tell your men to go look for him, and you go directly to the Regent's Palace."

"Tell the regent about this. His people came back today and said that Qingwu has left the palace and is now missing. You must ask him to find my daughter for me."

"Yes, father." Jiang Qingbai bowed slightly and walked away quickly.

Although he agreed verbally, Jiang Qingbai thought that Jiang Qingwu was acting unruly and might have gone somewhere.

But she asked in all the places she could go and meet her playmates, but there was no one there.

More and more people came to Shunqing Marquis' Mansion looking for Jiang Qingwu. Only then did Jiang Qingbai listen to Jiang Ruhai and hurried to the Regent's Palace.

At this time, Jiuhan returned late, bringing back the seriously injured and dying palace maid.
