Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 257: Serious Courtiers and Ridiculous Emperor

I thought Yan Xiuchen would be the one to clean up the mess, but I didn't expect it would be Jiang Qingwu.

When the court officials saw Jiang Qingwu, they all made way for him.

Her identity was already awkward, just like Yan Xiuchen ruling the world.

Everyone knows that she is the princess and the future mistress of the world.

Everyone also knows that Yan Xiuchen is the future emperor.

But now, it’s not what it is. I can’t afford to offend him, and my status is not worthy of my power.

"Your Majesty, your servant pays homage." Jiang Qingwu ignored everyone, saluted to the emperor, and then stood up.

When the emperor saw Jiang Qingwu, he got down from the dragon throne and hurriedly asked, "Where is the regent? Where did he go?"

"Didn't I say that I don't want to attend court anymore and don't want to deal with these matters anymore?"

"Why did he drag me here again to deal with these...what are these things?"

"If the queen has been killed, go investigate. Once you find out, hand her over to the regent for disposal. It has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Qingwu was also a little stunned. Looking at the emperor, he was speechless for a moment.

The emperor had little affection for the empress, and his love for her was far less profound than that for the imperial concubine.

He is lazy, cowardly, enjoys power but doesn't want to work hard. He is exactly the same as Yan Nan, and they are indeed father and son.

"Your Majesty, this is about His Highness. His Highness should avoid suspicion. This matter still needs you to handle..."

The Qin family's people stepped forward quickly. As soon as the words fell, the emperor became angry and yelled, "Shut up..."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to deal with this matter."

"Your Highness has an urgent matter to attend to, and asked this servant to thoroughly investigate the Queen's murder."

"Okay, okay, fine, you can come, you can come." The emperor agreed and turned around and sat back on the dragon throne.

Jiang Qingwu then waved towards the door.

Wanyue and Jiang Qingbai then brought two imperial doctors, the guards from the Queen's palace, and the coroner who examined the Queen's body to the hall.

"Everyone, these two are guards in the Queen's palace."

"They were the first to discover that the queen had been killed. According to them, Gu Yanbai fainted when they rushed into the hall."

"I also checked with the imperial physician. There were bruises on the back of Gu Yanbai's neck, indicating that he had been knocked unconscious. This is enough to prove that he had also been attacked."

"These imperial doctors, coroners, and guards can all prove that Gu Yanbai is also a victim, not the real murderer who killed the queen."

As soon as Jiang Qingwu finished speaking, the people of the Qin family became agitated, talking to each other.

"Gu Yanbai is pretty good at fighting, right? How can we prove that he was attacked? Maybe he staged it himself and just pretended to be unconscious."

"Also, he was a man outside the palace. I heard he was from Sang Country. He dressed in black and sneaked into the Queen's palace in the middle of the night. Didn't he have bad intentions?"

"Yes, Gu Yanbai has been living in the palace. It was either arranged by the prince or instructed by you. What on earth did he want to do by breaking into the palace at night?"

Jiang Qingwu listened to what everyone said and chuckled, "He was arranged by His Highness."

When everyone heard the sound, there was an uproar.

Even the emperor frowned and sighed helplessly, "What are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty, it was indeed His Highness who arranged for him to sneak into the palace and visit the Queen's palace at night."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu took the wooden box from Wanyue's hand.

"These are all the prescriptions that the queen changed."

"The Queen changed the prescription given to Your Majesty by the Imperial Physician. All the medicines used to treat Your Majesty's headaches were replaced with useless herbs."

"And this medicine bottle... I have already asked the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau to look at the medicine inside."

"It is a chronic poison. Those who take it will become increasingly listless and mentally debilitated. After taking it for half a year, they will die."

As Jiang Qingwu spoke, he held the wooden box and handed it to the Qin family. "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin... do you know about this?"

"You...where did you get this from? Maybe..."

Seeing that the Qin family was hesitant, Jiang Qingwu suddenly snatched the wooden box back.

"Maybe... maybe it was me and Your Highness who forged evidence, bribed witnesses, framed the Queen, and protected Gu Yanbai, right?"

Seeing everyone's gaze, Jiang Qingwu turned and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, all the Lords, there are seventy-six people in the Imperial Medical Bureau, from top to bottom, who have studied medicine and understand medicine, and have superb medical skills. Each of them can confirm the medicinal properties of this medicine."

"It can also prove when the wound on Gu Yanbai's neck was left."

"If you don't believe me, you can go find a doctor outside the palace and he will do whatever he wants to check."

This was the fact, and Jiang Qingwu said it with confidence, and everyone was speechless.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu took advantage of the situation and walked closer to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I asked someone to interrogate the palace maid who was close to the queen."

"The maid has confessed that the queen had a deal with a mysterious man in black some time ago."

“It was that man who gave the queen the poison.

"Your Highness recently discovered that His Majesty was unwell, and after asking the servants, he learned that it was the Queen who sent him medicine every day."

"Your Highness sent Gu Yan Baiye to explore the Queen's palace for the sake of His Majesty's safety."

"Gu Yanbai is good at Qinggong, but his martial arts are not that good. That's why he was ambushed and became a scapegoat."

After Jiang Qingwu finished speaking, he handed the box and medicine to Eunuch Li, who then delivered them to the emperor.

Jiang Qingwu turned around and walked towards the table on the side of the hall, picked up the porcelain vase on the table, and walked towards the Qin family.

"Master Qin, you said that Gu Yanbai directed and acted out the incident on his own and pretended to faint..."

"Come, Sir Qin, please give me a blow, leaving a bruise on the back of my neck, and direct and act it out yourself."

The people from the Qin family looked at the porcelain bottle that Jiang Qingwu handed over, hesitating and not daring to reach out.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingyu, who was not far away, took the opportunity to step forward and speak to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is plotting to murder Your Majesty. The evidence is irrefutable. Anyone can examine the evidence. There is no doubt about it."

"Many members of the Qin clan hold high positions and receive generous salaries. I ask Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation of the Qin clan."

The emperor looked at the prescription and the bottle of medicine in the box and sighed heavily, "I have already said that this world will be left to Ah Chen to manage."

"Why is it that no one is trying to murder Ah Chen, but there are always people trying to murder me?"

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly, looked at the emperor in disbelief, and sighed secretly.

Seeing this, the left prime minister took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the emperor came to his senses, threw the things in his hand on the table, and suddenly stood up to interrupt the left prime minister.

"you shut up."

"I have had enough of being the emperor. If the regent had not refused to inherit the throne, I would not still be sitting here."

"I'll say it again, military and national affairs, the imperial court, the imperial harem, the throne, the imperial seal, the throne, and all these troublesome matters, all belong to the regent."

"Who to punish or release is up to the regent."

The emperor then fled out, "Oh, yes, I will go find him right away. Even if I have to kowtow to him, he must give up the throne."

The court officials looked at the emperor walking away quickly. It took them a long time to come back to their senses and they all looked at Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu noticed everyone's gazes, came to his senses, looked down at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and sighed helplessly.

What absurdity!

"What kind of thing is this? It takes so much effort!"

Jiang Qingwu muttered to himself, then suddenly thought of something, dropped the vase and ran out in a hurry.

"Quick, stop His Majesty..."
