Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

After entering the palace, Jiang Qingwu said that he wanted to go see Yan Nan. Gu Yanbai wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Yan Xiuchen. He had no choice but to follow Yan Xiuchen.

But the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.

"Why do you have to drag me along? Are you...spying on me?"

Gu Yanbai followed Yan Xiuchen and asked in confusion.

Yan Xiuchen looked back at him, his face indifferent, "No."

"Oh, I understand. You just kept saying that Gu Qing and I were hiding something from you. Are you...jealous?"

Gu Yanbai jokingly moved closer.

Yan Xiuchen was suddenly startled, and slapped Gu Yanbai on the face and pushed him away.

"Stop making trouble. I'm going to see His Majesty. You can just stay in Shangyang Palace."

Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly and followed behind silently.

In the inner hall of Shangyang Palace, when Yan Xiuchen and his companions arrived, all the ministers were kneeling in the yard.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen coming in, everyone bowed and said, "Your Highness..."

"What are you guys doing? Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?"

Hearing this, everyone knelt down and said, "We dare not."

"We ask your Majesty to pass the throne to Your Highness. Please ascend the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the government."

Hearing this, Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but curl his lips secretly, "This... can also be considered as forcing the emperor to abdicate."

As he spoke, he gestured to Gu Yanbai behind him, "Go, follow Eunuch Lu to the imperial kitchen to prepare some mung bean soup."

"My dear ministers, if you have nothing to do, you can kneel for a while longer. Then you can have a drink to cool off."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen in astonishment and pointed at himself in disbelief.

Yan Xiuchen nodded slightly to Gu Yanbai, then turned and entered the inner hall.

"What a lunatic! Why do I have to go to the imperial kitchen... to make mung bean soup..."

Gu Yanbai reluctantly followed Eunuch Lu to the imperial kitchen.

Jiang Qingwu said he was going to see Yan Nan, but actually he went to the secret chamber.

The guard saw that it was Jiang Qingwu and bowed hurriedly, "Meet Miss Jiang."

Jiang Qingwu didn't waste any words, raised his hand and took Yan Xiuchen's jade token, "Open the door."

"Yes."

The secret chamber has been restored and returned to its original state, but a lot of archival materials were burned last time, so there is even less to check now.

Previously, the gold medal of Prince Dayan was found from the Fuye killer.

Among the ten brothers of the late emperor, five were crowned kings. In name, all five princes had passed away.

But the gentleman behind the scenes must be one of these five.

Jiang Qingwu thought about the previous clues and found the records of the kings of the previous emperor's generation.

"This old prince has a top martial artist by his side, and he also injured Yan Xiuchen before, so his own martial arts skills must be quite high."

Jiang Qingwu murmured softly as he flipped through the pages of the booklet, his eyes stopping on the page about Prince Su.

"Prince Suqing...died at the same time as the late emperor?"

"Who's here?"

Jiang Qingwu was muttering to himself when a sharp, childish shout suddenly came from the direction of the door.

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly, calmly tore off the page of notes, stuffed it into his arms, and when he turned around, the other party had already strode over.

She looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with delicate makeup and gorgeous clothes. Her palm-sized face showed childishness and a bit of coldness.

Although he didn't recognize the person, Jiang Qingwu understood something from this dress that only a princess could wear.

There is only one princess of this age in the entire palace, and that is Concubine Shen’s daughter, Princess Yanxue.

Yan Xue looked at Jiang Qingwu, her eyes full of sternness, "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in the palace dressed like this, and even dare to enter the secret chamber privately?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at the other party, lowered her eyes slightly, and bowed, "Your servant Jiang Qingwu, pays respect to the Fourth Princess."

"Jiang Qingwu? Jiang...you are the future princess consort of the Regent Prince, the legitimate daughter of the Shunqing Marquisate?"

"You are Jiang Qingwu?!"

Jiang Qingwu stood up and nodded, "Yes, it is you, my lady."

“Jiang Qingwu…you are so presumptuous, did I let you get up?”

When Yan Xue heard that it was Jiang Qingwu, her face became even uglier, and she was full of hostility towards Jiang Qingwu.

This is normal, as she is a mortal enemy of the Shen family, Yan Lin, and her mother, Concubine Shen.

If she looked friendly at this moment, she would feel uneasy.

Jiang Qingwu was absent-mindedly thinking about something when Yan Xue raised her hand and slapped him.

Jiang Qingwu was suddenly startled and subconsciously grabbed her wrist, then flicked her lightly and threw her to the ground.

Yan Xue fell to the ground, looking at Jiang Qingwu in anger and shame, staring at her with murderous intent in her eyes.

"Princess..." Upon seeing this, the two maids rushed over and helped the person up from the ground.

Yan Xue calmed down a bit, stood still, and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, "I am a princess, and you are just the daughter of a military commander."

"You are not dressed properly, you are not polite, you broke into the secret room without permission, and you are committing treason by attacking me. Someone, come here..."

Hearing the shout, the guards outside the door rushed in quickly.

"Princess……"

"Catch her for me." Yan Xue pointed at Jiang Qingwu and gave an order to the guards behind her.

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly, stood there calmly, and looked at Yan Xue quietly. He felt a lot more at ease.

This Yan Xue is the type who can't hide things and doesn't have the energy to scheme.

His hatred and dislike for her were written all over his face.

The order was given, but the guards behind him did not dare to move.

Yan Xue also realized something, turned around and kicked the guard hard, "I asked you to arrest her, she broke into the secret room privately and committed insubordination."

"Not to mention that I haven't married Uncle Wang yet, even if I did, I would only be a princess, but I am a princess..."

Everyone knows that Jiang Qingwu is not only the daughter of a military general, but also the future queen of the regent.

And she is not only the future princess consort of the regent, but also the future mother of the country.

These individuals are opportunistic and used to the change of power, so naturally they dare not touch her.

"Princess, calm down... Miss Jiang... Miss Jiang can't be taken..."

"What do you mean you can't take it? Why can't you take it? I say you can take it, so you can take it..." After saying that, Yan Xue raised her hand again and hit the two of them.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu walked towards Yan Xue and said, "Fourth Princess, you are right. I am just the daughter of a military commander."

"I had to leave the city today for something, and I was in a hurry to get back to the palace. This outfit is indeed a bit sloppy and inappropriate. Princess, I will teach you a lesson."

"As for breaking into the secret chamber...I do have something to investigate, so I came here with your highness's jade token."

As she spoke, Jiang Qingwu bowed and knelt down, "Princess, I will remember your rebuke in my heart."

"I am sorry for offending you, Princess. Please forgive me this time."

At this moment, Jiang Qingwu just wanted to keep things quiet and go to Yan Nan as soon as possible to make up for his previous lie, so he was tolerant everywhere.

I thought that if the princess knew when to advance and when to retreat, she should just give up.

"You admit your mistake, and that's it? What is a palace? Is it your backyard?"

"Since you have admitted your mistake, you must accept the punishment."

Jiang Qingwu sighed helplessly, raised his eyes and sneered, "Princess...how do you want to punish me?"

"This princess heard that during the engagement banquet between you and Brother Yan Lin, you were accused of insubordination by your uncle and killed because you were close to my mother and said a few extra words."

"Of course, you can't compare with a maid. Considering your Jiang family's contribution to Dayan, I'll give you fifty lashes."

Yan Xue said, kicking the guard behind her, "She has accepted the punishment herself, arrest her for me."
