Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

As Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue walked out of the gate of Jingfusi, they heard the sound of horse hooves.

Following the sound, I saw that it was someone close to Yan Xiuchen.

Dressed in the attire of the Regent's personal guard, he rode his horse and hurriedly stopped in front of Jiang Qingwu.

"Miss Jiang, I finally found you." Xiao Liuzi knelt on one knee, as if he had been looking for her for a long time, with a panicked and tired look on his face.

"Little Six? Something happened in the palace?"

Jiang Qingwu's brows tightened, thinking that something had happened to Yan Xiuchen in the palace, and she hurried over to meet him.

"No, I am here on His Highness' orders to give the young lady a message."

"Your Highness will lead the people from the Jingxingsi Department to suppress the bandits outside the city and search for Miss Shen in an hour."

"His Highness said that he would ask the girl to wait at the Pinming Pavilion on Shangcheng Street in an hour. His Highness wants to see the girl."

Yan Xiuchen goes to suppress the bandits?

She knew that Yan Xiuchen could see through her plan, and she also thought that Yan Xiuchen would cooperate with his father tacitly.

But he didn't expect that he would be the one searching outside the city.

"I understand." Jiang Qingwu agreed thoughtfully. When he came to his senses, Xiao Liuzi had already bowed and hurried away.

Wan Yue looked at Jiang Qingwu and approached him hesitantly, "Miss, it's still early, do you want to go back home first?"

"I'm not going back. I'm going to Shangcheng Street and wait for the show."

Official notices were posted all over the city by the Jingfu Department. Even though the ministers in the court kept silent, the news of Shen Wanrong's disappearance could no longer be covered up.

As soon as the official list was posted, many people came to watch.

"Clues, I have clues, I have clues..." Someone raised his hand and rushed to the official list.

The people from the Jingfusi set up a small table and put countless copper coins in a wooden barrel.

Anyone who has information can register and receive a string of copper coins.

"What a real give!" The first person who benefited from it smiled happily while holding the copper coins, and then the onlookers rushed over.

"Hey, slow down, slow down..." Wanyue protected Jiang Qingwu in the crowd, and the two were squeezed to the other side of the road.

Jiang Qingwu pulled his cloak and sat down on a tea stand not far away. "Boss, serve the tea."

"Hey, here we come."

"Look at how lively it is. I even want to go and get some coins." The boss joked with a smile while pouring tea.

Wan Yue smiled when she heard the voice and pointed at the boss, "Go ahead. The official list says that you can get the copper coins regardless of whether there is any news or not."

"Alas, I won't join in the fun. I'm still busy. However, the court really values ​​this girl from the Shen family."

"Yes, after all, she is the Third Prince's fiancée, so naturally we have to get her back." Jiang Qingwu said calmly with a low laugh.

As soon as he finished speaking, the people drinking tea at the table behind him interrupted and said, "How can he be brought back intact after being kidnapped by bandits?

"I heard that everyone in the capital, including storytellers, opera singers, restaurants and teahouses, knew that Miss Shen had been kidnapped..."

"Our Third Prince really lost the watermelon and picked up sesame seeds this time, haha..."

"Yes, the daughter of the Jiang family, who had made great military achievements, was well-behaved, and was extremely beautiful, but he actually lost this marriage. Ugh!"

Listening to the discussions of several people, Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue smiled at each other and each picked up their teacups.

"Here he comes, here he comes, the Regent is here." Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, followed by Wang Jun, who led the way, "The Regent's carriage, make way..."

Wang Jun from the Capital Criminal Division, with several hundred men in total, was approaching in a mighty force.

Yan Xiuchen rode in a four-horse carriage, which was made of gold carvings and hung with exquisite jade ornaments all around. The windows on both sides were decorated with yellow silk curtains that only the royal family could hang.

Outside the carriage, the four major guards including Xiao Liuzi, and the trusted aides, Jiuhan and Jiuye, drove their horses to protect the surroundings.

"Although he is disabled, the Regent is still the master above all others."

"Yes, look at those four guards and their trusted aides. I heard that they are all experts. Only our prince has the courage to do this."

"Hey, hush, why did the carriage stop?"

Jiang Qingwu was holding a cup of tea and was only focused on listening to the discussions of the people behind her, but she didn't notice that Yan Xiuchen's carriage had already stopped in front of her.

"Gu Qing..." A soft cry suddenly came from the noisy crowd.

Jiang Qingwu's heart couldn't help but tremble, as if the sound of thunder was piercing his ears.

Following the sound, she saw Yan Xiuchen opening the curtains, his eyes fixed on her.

Gu Qing? He actually called her Gu Qing?

How could he know her private handwriting that she had lost long ago?

Jiang Qingwu stared at Yan Xiuchen through the window in a trance, then took a step forward as if possessed by a ghost and got on the carriage.

The carriage was extremely luxurious. The rosewood table exuded a faint fragrance, the mink-covered seats were warm, and tea, snacks and other snacks were all available.

Yan Xiuchen sat right in the middle, with warmth in his eyes. He gestured to Jiang Qingwu to sit beside him.

"What did you call me just now?" Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were still immersed in the soft call just now.

Yan Xiuchen gently waved the golden bronze fan, thinking, "Your private words are not a secret, so it's not surprising that I know them."

When she was nine years old, she and her elder brother went to the autumn hunt organized by the royal family. An accident caused her to fall off a cliff, causing her to be seriously injured and lose her memory.

From then on, no one called her by her nickname anymore.

The only people who knew her nickname could only be those who knew her before she was nine years old and had a close relationship with her.

Yan Xiuchen was nineteen years old at that time. Although he had made military achievements, his fame and status were far less than they are now, and he had no connections with their family.

Jiang Qingwu was full of suspicion, but a smile remained on his face. He held his chin and stared at Yan Xiuchen.

"From now on, you can just call me by my nickname, okay?"

Yan Xiuchen didn't think much about it, lowered his eyes, smiled, and nodded, "Okay."

"By the way, why did you go outside the city to suppress the bandits?"

Yan Xiuchen did not answer, but opened the curtain and looked outside. "Does the scenery of the capital city meet your expectations?"

"Isn't that because you and father are in perfect harmony? It seems that we really have a tacit understanding."

While Jiang Qingwu was speaking, he held up his chin and moved closer to Yan Xiuchen, with a smiling face that looked like a spring breeze in front of him.

Yan Xiuchen smiled slightly, sat up straight, and deliberately ignored her teasing.

"Kidnap Shen Wanrong, bribe the storyteller, and ask your father to mention this matter in the court, prompting the Capital Office and the Capital Criminal Office to take action at the same time..."

Yan Xiuchen looked at the people gathered in groups in front of him to beg for coins, then turned to look at Jiang Qingwu.

"Even this reward was your idea, right?"

"I spent a lot of money, and I feel bad."

Amidst the laughter, Jiang Qingwu's face suddenly became serious.

"Shen Wanrong is missing, and with all the free money in the city, I'm afraid no one will remember the rumors that slandered you anymore."

"Moreover, we can also use the name of searching for Shen Wanrong as an excuse to search for the place where private weapons were manufactured outside the city."

"Just tell me... Does this count as killing two birds with one stone?"

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu leaned forward, supported his chin with one hand and stretched out the other.

"Just tell me... should you give me a reward?"
