Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Qingwu in panic and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

"Yes... and Prince Pingqing, but..."

"But Prince Pingqing has no troops or power. To take over the Regent's army, he needs Xiu Chen..."

Before the Queen Mother finished her words, Jiang Qingwu took out Yan Xiuchen's jade token from her arms.

"Here, this one is fine." Jiang Qingwu said, handing it to the Queen Mother.

"With your highness's jade tablet, your imperial decree, and Prince Pingqing leading the army, the Regent's army will obey without hesitation."

The Queen Mother looked at the jade token handed over by Jiang Qingwu, hesitated for a moment and took it, "But can I get revenge like this?"

"You know, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

"If Yan Lin knew about this, he would definitely clear all obstacles before Prince Pingqing entered the capital and secure the throne. He is already the crown prince, and the court officials will definitely support him..."

Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly, then smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Just do as I say. I will avenge your Highness and restore peace to Dayan."

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Qingwu hesitantly, but finally held the jade token tightly in her hand.

"Your humble servant... respectfully bids farewell to the Queen Mother." When Jiang Qingwu saw the Queen Mother leaving, she kowtowed to her.

It was not until Su Wenli came to pull her away that Jiang Qingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up and get up." Su Wenli helped Jiang Qingwu up and his eyes fell on her face. "Is this the way you live in the capital?"

Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were suddenly pulled back, and he looked at Su Wenli in confusion, "What?"

"your face……"

Jiang Qingwu suddenly came to his senses and realized that half of his face was indeed burning.

I guess there must have been a few fingerprints left on it.

"Cousin, it doesn't hurt... something happened. Normally, I am the daughter of the Marquis's family. Who can bully me?"

Su Wenli sighed secretly and was about to say something when Yan Xiuchen walked over from the bedside.

"Gu Qing was indeed wronged, but this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."

Su Wenli turned his head to look at Yan Xiuchen, sighed helplessly, bowed his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee that I will marry His Highness."

"Of course you can. I promise that in the future, no one will override her rights."

"What about you?" Su Wenli blurted out.

The two faced each other, and Su Wenli looked at Yan Xiuchen without fear.

Jiang Qingwu also realized something in an instant, and just as he was about to speak, Yan Xiuchen sneered.

"I am a henpecked man. The imperial seal is with her. What are you worried about?"

Jiang Qingwu was startled for a moment, and looked at Yan Xiuchen blankly, "Is the jade seal with me?"

"Yes, the last time I went to the Marquis' Mansion to see you at night, you and Su Man'er were eating in the yard, and I was on the roof..."

Jiang Qingwu still shook his head, "Didn't you only bring sesame biscuits?"

"Before going up to the roof, the imperial seal was placed in the box on your dressing table in your room."

"You gave it to me? You just asked me to take the risk and keep it for you."

Yan Xiuchen chuckled and sighed, "His Majesty did the same thing when he gave me the imperial seal. He didn't plan to ask me for it back, so I naturally don't plan to ask you for it back either."

"The jade seal is yours, I am yours, and Dayan is yours."

Jiang Qingwu folded his arms, with a smile on his face, and looked at Yan Xiuchen, "It sounds good, but men's words are never reliable."

"Besides, what do I need Dayan for? And what do I need the Imperial Seal for?"

Yan Xiuchen quietly watched Jiang Qingwu talking, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Su Wenli quietly leaving the house.

He walked towards Jiang Qingwu calmly and said, "You don't want it at all. You said it, don't regret it..."

"I don't regret it. My cousin is right. I'll follow you. Maybe I'll need you in the future..."

As Jiang Qingwu was talking, he turned to look at Su Wenli and suddenly reacted.

"Where's my cousin?"

Yan Xiuchen secretly raised the corners of his lips, looked at the red fingerprints on Jiang Qingwu's face, and gently pulled him into his arms.

"I'm serious about what I say. From now on... no one in this world can be above you, not even me."

As night fell, the Queen Mother's secret decree, along with the jade tablet, was quietly sent out of the palace.

Two trusted masters of Fenghe Palace took the things and left the capital.

Despite being so careful, he was still discovered by Yan Lin's men.

"Your Highness, we have discovered two people of suspicious identities who came out of the palace. They were disguised and left the city under the cover of night."

Yan Lin's men came hurriedly to report, and then a look of guilt and timidity appeared on their faces.

"Our people were following closely, but were accidentally discovered. Two of them died, and the rest were lost."

Yan Lin's face darkened instantly when he heard the voice, and he slapped him, "Idiot, there are so many of you, but you can't even stop two people."

Hearing Yan Lin's words, Gu Yanbai stood up and walked over.

"Those who come out of the palace can only be the Queen Mother's people."

"It seems that the Queen Mother has secretly sent an order to find Prince Pingqing."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai chuckled and looked at Yan Lin, "Prince Pingqing is just an idle prince who settled in Jiangnan, even though he is Yan Xiuchen's man."

"Nowadays, without troops and power, we can't stir up any waves."

Yan Lin's face was grim, and he whispered to Gu Yanbai hesitantly, "Before, I wasn't worried."

"But now..."

"Now Yan Xiuchen's jade seal has not been found, and Jiang Qingwu has not received the jade token..."

Gu Yanbai heard the voice and shook his head slightly, "Although the people in the open have withdrawn, aren't you keeping an eye on them in secret?"

"Whatever action you take, it will not escape your sight."

"But, the jade seal has not been found either..." Yan Lin was turning around in frustration.

"Who could have expected that the imperial seal was not with the emperor?"

"Now the Queen Mother has issued a secret decree that if Prince Pingqing gets one of the three things, he can mobilize the troops of Dayan."

Seeing Yan Lin's anxious look, Gu Yanbai secretly raised the corners of his lips, walked towards him, gently pressed his shoulder and said soothingly, "Why are you panicking?"

"Let me ask you, how long will it take for Prince Pingqing to get the things and mobilize the three armies?"

"It will take at least five days to deliver the stuff, and it will take ten days to mobilize the three armies... and wait until the army enters the capital..."

As he spoke, Yan Lin suddenly realized something, "Sir, you mean, they are too late."

"What do you think? Haven't you been clearing out Yan Xiuchen's gang overtly and covertly over the past two days?"

"Those people have been almost eliminated, it's time to ..."

Yan Lin stared at Gu Yanbai and made up his mind secretly, "What the master reminded me is that this matter must be handled as soon as possible..."

"But there is no imperial seal..."

"Your Majesty, what do you need the imperial seal for?"

Gu Yanbai said indifferently, and Yan Lin nodded knowingly.

At that time, the Regent's Palace.

Yan Xiuchen changed into a plain black suit and sat opposite Su Wenli.

It was already late at night when Jiang Qingwu and Tan Xi brought the food over.

"In the past two days, no one has had a good rest or eaten anything..."

"The kitchen prepared some delicious meals, but we didn't dare to be too extravagant..."

Jiang Qingwu sat aside and poured wine for Su Wenli. "Cousin, you have worked hard these past two days. Eat something and have a good sleep later."

Su Wenli smiled at Jiang Qingwu and nodded, "You too, you should have a good rest."

Yan Xiuchen's face was stunned for a moment, he forced a smile, raised his eyes to look at Jiu Ye not far away, and changed the subject.

"Have the Queen Mother's people left the capital?"

"Replying to godfather, I have already left the capital, and... killed several of the prince's spies."

Su Wenli heard the voice and looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, "I don't quite understand, wasn't Prince Pingqing already in the plan?"

"Why let the Queen Mother do this?"

Jiang Qingwu smiled and said, "Cousin, in fact, the purpose of this secret decree is not to allow Prince Pingqing to enter the capital."

"We have everything ready, and we don't need Prince Pingqing and the Regent's army."

"We do this just to... force Yan Lin to take action against His Majesty."

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. This secret order is Yan Lin's final death warrant."
