Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Hearing Gu Yanbai's words, Jiang Qingwu's expression froze while he was holding the teacup.

"Once you become the Empress, you will be the mother of the country and Yan Xiuchen's legal wife, not just his wife."

"Being raised by the world, you will naturally have to endure a lot of... things that are beyond your control."

Jiang Qingwu murmured thoughtfully, thinking that he would have to kneel down before Yan Xiuchen and call him "Your Majesty" in the future.

I had to pay my respects to the Queen Mother every morning and endure her cold stare every day.

She had to manage palace affairs and accept concubines from the three palaces and six courtyards.

"You...what's wrong with you? Yan Xiuchen promised that you are the only queen and there won't be so many things that you can't control."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head gently, "Let's not talk about this anymore."

There is really no need to say all this, and King Suqing may not necessarily allow her to sit firmly on the throne of queen.

"How's the matter in Nancun? I want to ask Wanyue and Luoming..." Jiang Qingwu said halfway when Aqin came over with medicine and food.

"Girl, the kitchen has prepared some of your favorite dishes, as well as some excellent supplements sent by His Highness."

"The servants have brought them all."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the things on the table, frowned slightly, and asked Aqin in confusion, "Yan Xiuchen?"

"Don't you know? He stayed here to guard you all night last night, and only went to the palace this morning."

Gu Yanbai said as he placed the bowl of soup in front of Jiang Qingwu, "Drink the medicine first, then drink this bowl of soup."

"Wanyue and Luo Ming have already captured all the Fuye people and have locked them up in the Jingxingsi. A notice has also been posted."

"Tomorrow at noon, he will be executed in public at the street corner."

Jiang Qingwu listened to Gu Yanbai's words and silently picked up the medicine bowl, but he looked distraught and seemed to be thinking about something.

Gu Yanbai sighed and said, "The deceased villagers in Nancun have been properly buried. Ah Chen gave good fields and funeral silver to the villagers and their relatives."

"And... that Ah Jin has also been buried."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai pushed Jiang Qingwu's medicine bowl towards his mouth and said, "What did that gentleman say to you... Actually, you don't have to care."

"He said that he wants to exchange you for my position as queen." Jiang Qingwu said lightly while drinking medicine.

Gu Yanbai was startled and stared at Jiang Qingwu with wide eyes, "What did you say?"

"I said, he wanted to make a deal with me. If I didn't agree to give you to him, he would stop me from becoming the queen."

"Also, after Bai Asheng got into trouble, Yan Xiuchen led his troops to Shiwei Manor immediately."

"The two made a deal. Yan Xiuchen agreed to let him go and ascend the throne as emperor immediately."

"He promised not to kill me and to hand over the antidote to Nan Xiu Ye Bai Qing San."

Jiang Qingwu said this calmly, and then drank the medicine in one gulp.

Gu Yanbai stood up, thinking deeply, and paced back and forth.

"I see, that's how it is... I suspected that the old man's escape had something to do with Achen. It turned out that he was the one who let him go."

"Nan Xiuye's antidote, so Nan Xiuye ​​is not dead?"

Jiang Qingwu took a sip of the tonic soup, frowned, and put it down silently.

"But he did not lie. He really did not know where the gentleman was at that moment."

"No wonder you're angry. I'd be angry too." Gu Yanbai muttered, turned around and sat back.

"You...what are you going to do? Are you still looking for it?"

Jiang Qingwu smiled bitterly and said, "No need to look for him, he will come to me... No, it's us."

"Miss..." Ah Qin hurried in from outside the courtyard and saluted Jiang Qingwu, "Miss, Lord Zhou from the Ministry of Works and people from the palace are here."

"Ministry of Industry?" Jiang Qingwu looked stunned. He gestured to Aqin and turned to look at Gu Yanbai, "Do you know what it is?"

Gu Yanbai shook his head gently, "I don't know."

From afar, Zhou Li from the Ministry of Works was wearing an official robe, holding a picture album in his hands, and accompanied by a eunuch who looked vaguely familiar.

"Slave..."

"Wei Chen..."

"Greetings to Miss Jiang. May Miss Jiang be safe and sound."

The two men bowed deeply to Jiang Qingwu very politely.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai uneasily, then stood up and walked towards the two of them, "Master Zhou, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. Please stand up."

"I have been ordered to renovate the Central Palace, Fengxiang Palace, and I have brought the blueprints for you to review."

After Zhou Li stood up, he respectfully handed over the drawings in his hand.

The eunuch at the side also came over and said, "I am Xiao Luzi, the deputy chief eunuch of the Shangyang Palace. I have been ordered to serve in Fengxiang Palace. From now on, I will obey the young lady's orders."

Jiang Qingwu stood there in a daze, looking at the drawings that were brought to him and Xiao Luzi who was bending over and standing in front of him, and he was unable to react for a moment.

Fengxiang Palace is the legitimate imperial palace and is where the empresses of all dynasties lived.

Even the previous queen, who had been framed by Concubine Shen and neglected for many years, did not live in Fengxiang Palace.

In her previous life, she also lived in the palace, but before she could move into Fengxiang Palace, she woke up from a dream.

Now, this means... that she will live in Fengxiang Palace?

"You said following orders? But following the orders of the Regent?" Gu Yanbai asked behind him.

"Yes, at the morning court today, His Royal Highness the Regent has already agreed to the request of the ministers and complied with His Majesty's request. The edicts of abdication and succession will be announced to the world soon."

He agreed, officially agreed.

Soon, he became the supreme ruler and the emperor.

Hearing the voice, Gu Yanbai secretly raised the corners of his lips, gently pushed Jiang Qingwu, and winked at him.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, saw Zhou Li still dragging the drawing, and then slowly took it.

"Fengxiang Palace has not been occupied for a long time. It is a bit old and many places need to be repaired. The craftsmen have been working for many days."

"It's just that His Highness asked the young lady to personally review some of the details. If there is anything wrong, it can be changed in time."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the blueprint, which was clearly drawn on the blueprint, then turned around and sat down at the stone table.

Fengxiang Palace has three courtyards in front and back, and is considered the largest palace besides Shangyang Palace.

There is the main hall in the front yard, the sleeping hall and wing rooms in the back yard, a bamboo forest and a study on the left, and Bilan Lake and Qinxin Pavilion on the right.

"This... Why does it look like there's an extra bridge over the Bilan Lake in the west..."

"This is what His Highness specifically ordered. The bridge over the lake connects to the backyard of the Shangyang Palace's bedroom."

"It's already under construction and will be completed soon."

Gu Yanbai looked at the covered bridge on the blueprint and couldn't help but chuckle, "If we go through the main entrance, it will take us two quarters of an hour to get there."

"If we take this covered bridge, we can meet in less than a moment. He is really cunning..."

Jiang Qingwu took a deep breath and looked up at Gu Yanbai, "If the Queen Mother knew about this, I would be scolded again..."

"Why do you care about that old woman? She is still under house arrest..."

"Shh..." Jiang Qingwu heard Gu Yanbai's words and quickly gestured to him.

Zhou Li and Xiao Luzi on the side were also startled. After raising their eyes slightly, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly and handed the drawings back. "I have no objection. Just repair it according to the drawings."

"Tell Yan Xiuchen... Tell His Highness that I have reviewed it."

"Yes, young lady, I will take my leave."

After Zhou Li left, Xiao Luzi did not leave, but walked closer to Jiang Qingwu, "Miss, His Highness asked me to stay in Wutong Garden. From today on, I will obey your orders."

"Help the girl to prepare the personnel and materials for entering the palace."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the little Lu Zi in front of him, hesitated for a moment and said, "You will be the head eunuch of Fengxiang Palace in the future."

"Yes."

"Then you should listen to me or His Highness."
