Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Seeing that Jiang Qingwu looked like he was going to eat him, the old man didn't take it seriously.

He frowned slightly, raised his lips and gave a sinister smile, "King of Purge? Humph, no one has called me that for a long time."

"You are really smart. How do you know that I am the one who invited you here?"

"This coarse clothing and the bamboo hat worth a few cents are really not worthy of your status."

"But the jade ring on your hand is worth thousands of gold, there are not many of them."

"Also, judging from your posture, I'm sure you have unfathomable martial arts skills. I'm a martial artist, so how could I not see that?"

The old man looked down at his hand, silently turning the ring, and said thoughtfully, "This ring is mine and the late emperor's, one for each of us, a perfect pair."

"The late emperor told me to stay in the capital and assist Yan Xiuchen well, and not let him make mistakes and deviate from the track."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but sneer when he heard that, "Assist? Humph."

"Following his predetermined trajectory and not being allowed to deviate even a step, is this called assisting? This is just treating him as a puppet."

"Now I know why he has been so reluctant to ascend the throne."

"It's really disgusting to be the emperor with someone holding your neck down."

The old man seemed to come back to his senses. He looked up at Jiang Qingwu and suddenly chuckled. He said harshly, "Sharp-tongued."

"Since you know that my martial arts are unfathomable, you should know that it is easy to kill you. How dare you be so presumptuous."

"Is this too outrageous?" Jiang Qingwu said coldly, and then put the knife on the chair on the table with a bang.

"You always say that we all deserve to die, but in fact, you are the one who deserves to die the most."

"I deserve to die. Why should I die? Everything I did was just to help Yan Xiuchen ascend the throne."

"Haha..." Jiang Qingwu sneered and looked at the old man with contempt.

"You colluded with Fuyeh and helped him enter the capital. This is treason and collaborating with the enemy."

"You sent people to murder the queen and assassinate the prince. This is a heinous crime."

"You ordered the Fuye people to kill people and massacre civilians. You have lost all conscience."

"Even if you are the late emperor's confidant and a prince, you should be torn into pieces..."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu secretly clenched the teacup in his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent, "Also, Bai Asheng, Gu Yanbai, Nan Xiuye..."

"You deserve to die for every one of these things."

Their eyes met, the old man frowned and stared at Jiang Qingwu, silent for a long time, and suddenly sneered.

"Now that you put it that way, I really feel like I deserve to die."

"But Bai Asheng was caused by you. If he hadn't saved you, he wouldn't have been captured, you wouldn't have attacked the city for him, and I wouldn't have used him as a bargaining chip and pawn."

“Nan Xiuye, naturally, will not accept the mission for this purpose and lurk around you.”

"In other words, if you hadn't bewitched him and made him betray me, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

As he spoke, the old man sighed softly and shook his head, "Look, I forgot about the Queen, Yan Nan."

"If you hadn't given them hope, they wouldn't have thought of competing with Yan Xiuchen for the throne, and I wouldn't have had the intention to kill him."

"As for the people of South Village, if you hadn't found them and bribed them, I wouldn't have wanted to kill them to vent my anger."

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly, "Vent off your anger?"

"What else? Kill people to silence them? Why do you want to kill people to silence them? They don't know my whereabouts, and it doesn't matter if they know. Aren't I offering myself to them?"

"I'm not afraid of you looking for me. I blame them for telling you about Shiwei Manor and damaging Baige in vain."

The old man said, taking the teacup to his mouth, "In fact, everything comes from you."

"If it weren't for you, many things wouldn't have happened."

Jiang Qingwu stared at the other party intently, and was already thinking about taking action.

But she knew that she was no match for King Purge, so she was extremely vigilant.

"Do you think that if you say this, I will blame myself and cry bitterly, become depressed and commit suicide to apologize to the world?"

The old man raised his eyes to look at Jiang Qingwu, chuckled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, at least not now."

"You have to know that the reason you are still alive today is not because of your ability, nor because of my incompetence, but because of... Yan Xiuchen."

As he spoke, the old man leisurely crossed his legs and pointed to the Regent's Palace in the distance towards Jiang Qingwu.

"Look, in front of the Regent's Palace."

Jiang Qingwu looked in the direction of the old man's finger and found that although it was already dark, there were still four or five ministers of the court kneeling outside the door.

Jiang Qingwu frowned, vaguely remembering something.

As she expected, the ministers who knelt in Shangyang Palace were now kneeling outside the Regent's Palace.

"Yan Xiuchen's ascension to the throne is already a matter of time and has to be launched."

"That's why I'm willing to show up to see you today."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the old man in confusion, and the fierceness in his eyes gradually turned into doubt.

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say that he will enter the palace in the future, serve as a court official, handle government affairs, and rule the country. He will serve the royal martyrs and guard the territory of Dayan."

"It's impossible to revolve around you alone forever."

The old man said, turning to look at Jiang Qingwu, "When the people of Nancun died, he left the palace affairs and rushed to the western suburbs."

"If you want to save Bai Asheng, he will let go of all the ministers in the court and accompany you to the imperial mausoleum."

"If you want to kill Tang Zhi, he will go. If you want to go to Qiduling, he will go too."

"If you can't separate your relationship and distance with him, you should understand that what you say and do is not just about you."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the old man in a daze, and was actually somewhat persuaded.

Although she didn't think she had done anything wrong in many things, it was true that everything she did involved Yan Xiuchen.

"His identity is to save the world, not Nancun, nor your Jiang family, and certainly not Gu Yanbai, Nan Xiuye, or Bai Asheng..."

"Compared to the territory of Great Yan and the millions of people, the number of people I killed is not that many."

Jiang Qingwu was shocked and looked at the old man in disbelief, then suddenly regained his senses.

"Then you know that the territory of Great Yan is defended by thousands of military commanders like the Jiang family."

"These tens of thousands of people are made up of tens of thousands of southern villages."

"Do you know that there are thousands and thousands of fathers and sons in this world who are so close that it is hard to part with them?"

"Who knows my parents' love for me better than my parents? I don't think you know this sentence."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the old man and sneered disdainfully, "People with different beliefs cannot work together. You want to kill me, and I want to kill you."

The old man's always calm and composed face finally showed a ripple, and the look he gave Jiang Qingwu became more fierce.

"Then do you know that the reason you are still sitting here peacefully is because I promised Yan Xiuchen to let you go."

Jiang Qingwu was stunned and turned to look at the old man, "When did you promise him to let me go?"

"On the day Bai Asheng died, he came back from the imperial mausoleum and found Shiwei Manor and made a deal with me."

As he spoke, the old man looked towards the palace in the distance and said, "He is the winner in this deal, but I am happy to oblige him."
