Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu looked at the contents of the obituary and looked at Su Su in some surprise.

"Mother, who sent this?"

"The King of Funan has set up a mourning hall for the Queen in the palace?"

"Today? Did the emperor agree to this? Or did Yan Xiuchen..."

"Aren't you being too presumptuous? Do you really think you are the master of the dynasty?" Su Su lowered her voice and shouted, then stood up and walked towards Jiang Qingwu.

"The entire Great Yan can discuss your and the Regent's status and power. If you overstep your authority in everything, you will only be used against others."

Jiang Qingwu secretly sighed and looked at Su Su anxiously, "Mother, please tell me, was this obituary sent from the Funan Palace?"

"Of course. Someone sent a letter early this morning. I have already asked the families of several ministers in the capital, and they have received it just like us."

"Everyone is talking about it, saying that the Queen's death is related to the palace and you."

"Now that another obituary has been sent, I always feel like it's a Hongmen Banquet."

"Whether I go or not, I'm afraid it will cause criticism and give me something to talk about."

As she spoke, Su Su leaned over to Jiang Qingwu and asked, "Does the Queen's death have anything to do with you?"

"Of course not, mother." Jiang Qingyu blurted out, looked around, and squatted towards the two of them, "Mother, what are you worried about?"

"It's not just our family that received the obituary. We are just one of them. Maybe you are overthinking it."

"The King of Funan has set up a mourning hall in the palace for people to pay their respects. My father is not here, so my eldest brother and I will go there."

"I'll go too." Jiang Qingwu blurted out, then gestured towards Jiang Qingyu holding the obituary.

"It's written here that the eldest son and daughter of the Jiang family will attend on behalf of Marquis Shunqing..."

"Shut up and kneel down in the ancestral hall. Don't even think about going anywhere without my order."

……

Not only did she go to the Funan Palace to pay her respects, she didn't even leave the Marquis's Mansion.

Su Su directly locked him up in the ancestral hall in the mansion, and made him reflect on his mistakes. He knelt there until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Gu Yanbai and Su Wenli returned to the Marquis' Mansion, which was empty.

"Hey, is there no one in the house? Where is Madam Su?" Gu Yanbai asked while looking around.

In the front hall of the main courtyard, Luo Ming bowed slightly and said, "Madam and the two young masters are out, young lady..."

Su Wenli also looked puzzled, "What happened to Ah Wu? He's not in the mansion either?"

"No, Madam has punished you to kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."

Hearing Luo Ming say that Jiang Qingwu was kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment, Gu Yanbai became interested and immediately put down the teacup in his hand.

"Interesting, I've never seen this girl being punished by the family." Gu Yanbai said, raised his eyebrows at Su Wenli, turned around and slipped away very quickly.

Su Wenli smiled when he heard that, then shook his head and said, "I'll go back to the villa first, you go with Master Gu."

"Yes, cousin."

When Gu Yanbai found Jiang Qingwu, Jiang Qingwu was sleeping on the futon.

Even Wanyue, who was standing beside him, dozed off while leaning against a pillar.

Gu Yanbai looked out the window at Jiang Qingwu curled up and sleeping, and couldn't help but sneer.

He picked up a few stones from the flowers not far away and threw them at Jiang Qingwu through the window.

Jiang Qingwu was hit and his body trembled. He suddenly stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

Wanyue was startled and looked around immediately, but saw nothing.

"Girl, are you dreaming? Don't sleep anymore. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai threw another stone over.

This time, Jiang Qingwu quickly noticed something and dodged the stone by turning his body to the side.

When I looked in that direction, I saw that the window was open, but there was no one there.

"Little beauty, are you looking for me?" Gu Yanbai suddenly spoke and appeared behind Jiang Qingwu.

"Ah..." Jiang Qingwu was startled and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Gu Yanbai, you want to die." Jiang Qingwu scolded and sighed heavily.

Gu Yanbai smiled and squatted in front of Jiang Qingwu, "Of course I don't want to. I'm here to see your cousin off and tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Qingwu asked disapprovingly and was helped to stand up by Wanyue.

Gu Yanbai smiled when he heard the voice, then stood up and said, "It's about Bai Ruosheng."

"He slipped out of the palace last night."

"What?" Jiang Qingwu was startled and took a quick step towards Gu Yanbai. However, his legs became numb and he fell down.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai reached out and hugged the person in his arms.

"Ah..." Jiang Qingwu screamed in pain, and then the scream stopped abruptly as he realized something.

When she looked up, Gu Yanbai was also looking at her.

As their eyes met, Gu Yanbai reacted in a panic.

"Um... you, it's not appropriate for you to kneel down to me with your status."

Gu Yanbai broke the awkwardness first and said jokingly.

"Get out of here! Who wants to kneel down to you?" Jiang Qingwu shouted, pushed Gu Yanbai away, and supported Wanyue.

"What's going on? Tell me." Jiang Qingwu tiptoed and limped to the table not far away and sat down.

Gu Yanbai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and followed him, and told Jiang Qingwu that he and Yan Xiuchen had deliberately set a trap for Bai Ruosheng.

"So, he went to see Bai Asheng last night?" Jiang Qingwu asked with shining eyes, and then grabbed Gu Yanbai.

"Did Jiuhan follow him? Did you find out where he is?"

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu with eyes full of expectation, and smiled reluctantly, "... I lost him."

"Lost?"

"Yes, I originally wanted to go, but...Achen..."

Jiang Qingwu lowered his eyes slightly and couldn't help but retract his hand. "Weren't you knocked out by the smoke yesterday? If you go, you will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, which is even more dangerous."

Jiang Qingwu said, and sighed secretly, "Is he back?"

"I'm back. I was only gone for less than an hour."

"Ah Chen said that he might not have gone to see Bai Ah Sheng, because the time was too short. In such a short time, he would not have enough time to go back and forth, plus the interrogation..."

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly and looked at Gu Yanbai in confusion, "Then where did he go?"

Gu Yanbai shook his head gently, "We don't know about that."

"But if he didn't go to see Bai Asheng, then he must know nothing about what happened between me and him."

"In the next two days, find an opportunity to urge him. If he is in a hurry, he will definitely go to see Bai Asheng."

"Achen has already sent the best Qinggong members among the Red Guards to keep an eye on him at all times."

"And my man, Gu Ming, will also keep a close eye on his whereabouts."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai sighed softly, looked around and said, "I never thought, I never thought that one day I would see a girl like you being so obedient to family discipline."

"It's not my mother. I don't understand. It clearly says that I should go, but they insisted that my eldest and second brothers go."

Gu Yanbai saw Jiang Qingwu gently pounding his legs, looking aggrieved and pitiful, so he moved closer to him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Funan Palace."

Gu Yanbai frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion, "Yan Nan? What are you doing in the palace?"

"Yan Nan set up a mourning hall in the palace to mourn the queen, and sent the obituary..."

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Yanbai's face gradually froze, and he slowly stood up straight, "Obituary? Condolences to the queen?"

"Why didn't Achen mention this matter? I haven't heard anyone in the capital talk about it either."

Jiang Qingwu listened to Gu Yanbai's words in a daze, and then his head suddenly buzzed and he realized something.

"The eldest son and daughter of the Jiang family are here on behalf of Marquis Shunqing..." Jiang Qingwu murmured and suddenly stood up.

Jiang Qingwu recalled the contents of the obituary, which was engraved with the seal of the King of Funan.

But after Yan Nan was crowned king, the jade seal, token and other items had not been prepared yet, and the seal of the second prince should be used now.

"There is no mourning hall, no condolences, and no obituary. This is a trap..."

Jiang Qingwu's face suddenly changed, he murmured in panic, and then rushed out without saying a word.
