Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Behind the pillars of the hall, blocked by the veil, people outside couldn't see that there was anyone there at all.

Jiang Qingwu made sure that there was no one else in the hall before walking towards Nan Xiuye.

But just as he got there, Nan Xiuye ​​threw a token over to him, "Just stay there, no need to come over."

"It is really unreasonable for me to come here, but your majesty is meeting with the ministers, and I have urgent business."

"So I had no choice but to come see you."

Jiang Qingwu paused, looked at the token thrown by Nan Xiuye, and frowned slightly.

"It's okay, no need to say that."

Jiang Qingwu echoed and looked at the token in his hand.

"This is a pass to the palace. You can enter and leave the palace freely."

Nan Xiuye ​​nodded slightly, "This token was found on Shen Wanrong."

"Shen Wanrong? How come she has the token from the palace?"

"This token is found in every palace, and is usually used by palace servants to go out and buy things."

"Although it's not special, Shen Wanrong shouldn't have it either. She doesn't come in and out often..."

Jiang Qingwu muttered to himself, and then suddenly realized something, "Shen Wanrong is hiding in the palace? She comes in and out frequently?"

Nan Xiuye ​​sighed softly and walked out from behind the pillar.

"I caught Shen Wanrong and searched her body. As for why she had the palace token, I'm afraid I have to ask her herself to find out."

"You...you caught her?" Jiang Qingwu was startled when he heard the voice. He took a step forward and repeated in disbelief.

"You, you really caught Shen Wanrong?"

"Yes, she attacked Gu Yanbai in broad daylight, and I caught her. I didn't know where to put her, and I was afraid that if I put her somewhere else, she would be rescued, so I had to..."

Jiang Qingwu understood something instantly, and asked with shining eyes, "You brought her to the palace?"

"Yes, in the vacant Zhuoqing Palace nearby, but he should be waking up soon, so I..."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't hide the joy on his face, he looked up at Nan Xiuye, "Good, great, you are really courting death."

"Let's go and take a look..." Jiang Qingwu was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Wanyue.

"Girl... No, Madam, why don't you change your clothes first..."

Jiang Qingwu came to his senses when he heard the voice. He was wearing a phoenix robe, which was quite eye-catching.

"Xiu Ye, come out and stay outside the door. No one in this palace recognizes you."

"Besides, your outfit is just the right size to cover it up."

Nan Xiuye ​​was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll wait outside..."

"Wanyue, call the palace maids in. There has been no one serving in this palace, and others are getting suspicious."

"Yes……"

When Jiang Qingwu was changing clothes in the bedroom, the palace maids outside the bedroom walked in in an orderly manner.

Some people held cakes, and some held hot tea.

There was also Xiao Luzi, waiting outside the dormitory with the book in his hand.

Wanyue looked at the palace maid and Xiao Luzi waiting outside the bedroom, and whispered a reminder to Jiang Qingwu.

"From my perspective, the selection of these personal servants is okay, but..."

"Just say whatever you want to say." Jiang Qingwu murmured to the mirror.

Wan Yue heard the voice and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu. "Although there are not many people in this palace who are against you, there is still a queen mother and the fourth princess. We have to be on guard."

"I know what you mean. Xiao Luzi was previously planted by Yan Xiuchen beside Emperor Xuanhe. He is reliable."

"The person he chooses shouldn't be a big problem, but you and Aqin should be more careful in the future. The people close to you must be reliable."

"Yes, I have remembered it."

Jiang Qingwu quickly changed into a light purple brocade dress. Although she chose the most low-key clothes, it was still much more luxurious than the clothes she wore in the Marquis' Mansion before.

"Empress..." When Xiao Luzi saw Jiang Qingwu coming out, he hurried over to greet her.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the booklet in Xiao Luzi's hand and didn't have time to pay attention to it. "I'm going out to walk around the garden. No one is allowed to follow me. I'll come back later."

"Yes, no... Your Majesty..." Xiao Luzi followed Jiang Qingwu out.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty sent someone to deliver your favorite sesame cakes..."

"Also, the Bilan Lake in our backyard is the most beautiful and largest garden in the palace..."

Jiang Qingwu listened, smiled, and ordered without turning his head, "That's a good idea. Your Majesty, come over for dinner. We can have dinner at the Qinxin Pavilion in Bilan Lake."

"Yes, I obey your command..."

Xiao Luzi followed Jiang Qingwu out of the palace gate, and then saw Nan Xiuye ​​in the corner following Jiang Qingwu.

He was stunned, then suddenly realized something and stopped.

"Eunuch Lu, who is that good-looking eunuch? He looks unfamiliar..."

A first-class palace maid named Chunyue, staring at Nan Xiuye's back, asked Xiao Luzi in a low voice.

Xiao Luzi also suddenly came back to his senses, his expression changed instantly, and he turned around and scolded, "Is this what you should ask?"

"That is the confidant that His Majesty has bestowed upon the Empress. It is not your turn to ask about it."

"Yes, this slave deserves to die."

There are several palaces that have been vacant for a long time near Fengxiang Palace. They were previously the residences of Emperor Xuanhe's favored concubines. It is only a quarter of an hour's walk to them.

No one suspected anything along the way, although the queen shouldn't be accompanied by only a palace maid and a eunuch.

But the new queen was eccentric and the emperor doted on her very much, so no one dared to speculate or say anything more.

The nearby Zhuoqing Palace has been abandoned for a long time and there are no people around anymore.

Nan Xiuye ​​took Jiang Qingwu straight to the back door and sneaked into the palace quietly.

"I checked. The gates around this palace are all empty. The nearby gardens were deserted after two maids drowned there two years ago."

"There aren't many people patrolling nearby, so it should be safe."

As Nan Xiuye ​​spoke, he took Jiang Qingwu and pushed open the door of the woodshed in the backyard.

Shen Wanrong was indeed awake, but her hands and feet were tied tightly, and there was a cloth ball stuffed in her mouth. She seemed to have struggled for a long time but was unable to get free.

"Ahem..." There was a lot of dust in the room, and Jiang Qingwu waved his hands subconsciously.

Wan Yue and Nan Xiu Ye on the side were also busy waving away the dust in the air.

“Wuwuwu…” When Shen Wanrong saw Jiang Qingwu, she whimpered and shrank back repeatedly.

He was dressed in black, had messy hair and a wound on his arm.

Jiang Qingwu walked slowly closer, looked at Shen Wanrong, and examined her carefully.

From the moment he saw her, those eyes were filled with cowardice and fear, and his body shrank back uncontrollably.

Jiang Qingwu felt a little uneasy, but still walked towards him.

"You finally... fell into my hands."

Nan Xiuye ​​walked straight towards her, pulled out a dagger and put it on Shen Wanrong's neck.

"Don't shout or scream, otherwise my knife will be blind." As he said that, Nan Xiuye ​​took the cloth ball out of Shen Wanrong's mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Shen Wanrong coughed twice, then looked at Jiang Qingwu, "You... just kill me."

When Jiang Qingwu heard him speak, he was stunned and suddenly clenched his fists.

"What did you say?"

Shen Wanrong snorted coldly and turned away from Jiang Qingwu, "I know nothing and I won't say anything."

"The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. You can kill or chop me up at your will."

Wan Yue frowned slightly and turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, "Madam, she..."

There was a fierce annoyance in Jiang Qingwu's eyes, as if he was sure of something.

He leaned over and grabbed Shen Wanrong's collar, examining her with sharp eyes.

"who are you?"
