Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu's words stunned the Qin family instantly, and they all huddled together timidly.

The people around couldn't help showing fear and immediately knelt on the ground.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the Qin family and sneered, "It was me who found out the truth about the Queen's death."

"It was my second brother Jiang Qingyu who saved the King of Funan, and it was the Regent who took care of the Funan Palace."

"You keep saying that you are doing this for the Queen and the King of Funan, so why don't you go to the mourning hall? Why don't you go to the Funan Palace?"

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu kicked Qin Shuyue who was blocking his way away and took a few steps forward.

"I'll make this clear today."

"No matter if I am Jiang Qingwu or if our Jiang family is related to the emperor, our Jiang family is upright and honest."

"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me... don't blame me. I'll dig a grave and send you off..."

The Qin family finally dared not make a sound and knelt on the ground one by one.

Jiang Qingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and while looking at everyone, he raised his voice.

"The people of Great Yan know who is responsible for the prosperity of the world today."

"Everyone knows why the people of Dayan enjoy peace and live and work in peace and contentment."

"If you, the Qin family, continue to gossip and fool the people, don't blame me for being rude."

Gu Yanbai stood not far behind, looking at Jiang Qingwu's back, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

He had never seen a woman like Jiang Qingwu. Her aura and figure were indeed incomparable to those of the noble ladies from aristocratic families or the daughters of wealthy families.

How could he have never imagined that one day, she would be so powerful and stand in front of him.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanbai couldn't help but chuckle and muttered to himself in a low voice.

"How could a little girl who cried when she was not allowed to ride a big horse become like this?"

……

At that time, Yan Xiuchen in the court was similar to Jiang Qingwu.

The Qin family used the assassination of Yan Nan to ask Yan Xiuchen to severely punish Jiang Qingbai.

Each of them had a convincing argument.

"Your Highness, Jiang Qingbai massacred everyone in the Funan Palace, causing countless casualties, but many people saw it."

"Yes, Your Highness, Jiang Qingbai's crime is unforgivable and he should be severely punished. The Jiang family must also be thoroughly investigated."

Yan Xiuchen chuckled, waved to Jiuhan beside him, and then paced quietly.

"Severe punishment? Thorough investigation?"

"How about you guys decide the world?"

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen gestured to everyone.

Everyone followed the instructions and saw the imperial physician and Yan Nan's concubine, Lu Tao, coming in from outside.

"This concubine is the favorite of the King of Funan. She was originally a close maidservant of the Queen. Her name is Lu Tao."

"Whether Jiang Qingbai killed someone or saved someone, she can testify."

Hearing this, Lu Tao knelt down hurriedly, "Yes, I can testify."

"That day, the prince and I heard a fight suddenly break out outside. We wanted to hide, but then the young master of the Shen family rushed in. I was defeated and was chopped by Shen Zhuowen..."

As he spoke, Lu Tao gently pulled open the clothes on his shoulders.

The wound had been bandaged, but it was still bleeding.

"After I was injured, I could only shout for help. When the two young masters of the Jiang family broke in, the prince had already been chopped by Shen Zhuowen."

"In order to protect the prince, the eldest son of the Shen family was hit by Shen Zhuowen's silver needle, poisoned, and went crazy."

When everyone heard what Lu Tao said, they all whispered to each other.

Although the Qin family didn't believe it, everyone knew that Yan Xiuchen wanted to protect Jiang Qingbai, whether it was true or not.

With imperial power in hand, no one can rival him, so who would be the first to stand out?

"It seems that although General Jiang accidentally killed many slaves and personal soldiers, he was also a victim and had made great contributions in protecting the emperor."

"Yes, if it weren't for the two young masters of the Jiang family, the King of Funan would be in great danger now."

The Qin family members panicked, watching everyone agreeing one after another, and hurried forward and said, "Jiang Qingbai slaughtered so many people in the palace, and he just said he was poisoned, and he's just going to let it go like this?"

"Besides, is it poisoning..."

"Lord Qin, be careful with your words." The imperial physician suddenly spoke, bowed to Yan Xiuchen, and echoed the Qin family, "The more than a dozen imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Office are all the best."

"After trying our best to treat the King of Funan for a few hours, we can conclude that the wound was not caused by the knife in General Jiang's hand."

"Moreover, we have also investigated the poisoning of General Jiang in the dungeon of the Beijing Criminal Division."

"The poison General Jiang was poisoned with is a kind of poison called Losing Soul Powder in Jianghu. It is not a rare poison. If Lord Qin doesn't believe it, you can go check it out."

"After being poisoned by this poison, one loses all consciousness, becomes mad and bloodthirsty, and kills like crazy. This is not what one wants."

Seeing the situation change drastically, the Qin family wanted to explain, but they were speechless.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen took a few steps forward and said, "This matter ends here. Although Jiang Qingbai has made great contributions in protecting the emperor, he is also a victim, but after all, he killed so many people."

"It just so happens that the Eastern Territory battlefield is short of manpower. After Jiang Qingbai recovers from his injury, he can reinforce the Eastern Territory."

"Except for the Qin family, everyone else please leave." Yan Xiuchen waved the golden bronze fan in his hand, turned around and sat on a chair beside him.

"We, the court officials, shall take our leave." The court officials knelt on the ground and saluted, then left the hall one after another.

In a blink of an eye, there were only four people from the Qin family left in the hall, led by Qin Shuyue's father.

When several people were at a loss, Yan Xiuchen suddenly spoke.

"Do I need to tell you again about the Shen family's fate?"

After saying that, a cold light swept towards the four people.

Upon seeing this, the four of them were immediately frightened and their faces changed drastically. After looking at each other, they all knelt down.

"Of course not."

"That's fine if you don't need it." Yan Xiuchen murmured, and stood up and walked towards the few people, "Queen, Yan Nan, this is not my plan."

"Some people are using them and plotting against me. If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen took a blank memorial handed over by Jiuhan and threw it to the few people.

"The capital city is not a place for you Qin family members to come to. Just go back to where you came from."

"It's better to retire and return home than to be used by others and end up like the Shen family."

"You write the memorial and I will review it. No one will be allowed to wait for you later."

……

When Yan Xiuchen and Jiuhan left, it was already noon and the sun was scorching.

Yan Xiuchen looked up at the sky, looked around, and suddenly felt heavy in his heart.

"This palace..."

Jiuhan looked around when he saw this, "The Imperial Concubine and the Queen are gone..."

"Things have changed, and people have changed. It's a little quiet. It's time to... change it up and add some life."

Yan Xiuchen knew what Jiuhan meant, but did not respond to him.

Jiuhan refused to give in and went forward to speak again.

"Godfather, His Majesty has been sending people to ask you when you will prepare for your ascension to the throne."

"You... why don't you want to ascend the throne? Now that you sit on the throne is what the world wants."

Hearing this, Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiuhan silently and chuckled, "It's not that I don't want to...it's that I'm not at ease."

"Many things have not been resolved. If I become the emperor, many things will be beyond my control."

"As for Aze's life and death, I can't stay out of it."

"If in the future..."

Yan Xiuchen murmured, his thoughts suddenly pulled back by something, "Forget it, now is not the best time."

"Let's take it one step at a time. First, get rid of Yan Lin and find Bai Asheng."

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and bumped into Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai was in a panic and was frightened by Yan Xiuchen and the others. He patted his chest violently.

"Scared me……"

"You are so flustered...what are you doing? What happened to Gu Qing? Didn't you accompany her back to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Gu Yanbai took a breath, calmed himself down, looked around, and leaned towards Yan Xiuchen's ear.

Yan Xiuchen's face darkened slightly, and he frowned instantly, "You just watched her being taken away?"

Gu Yanbai stared at Yan Xiuchen in a daze, and said with a wronged look on his face, "I...what can I do?"

"My status is there, what am I, your retainer?"

"Besides, that girl wants to go on her own. What does it have to do with me?"

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth in annoyance and sighed helplessly, "What are you standing there for? Let's go."
