Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu was startled, staring at Yan Xiuchen in astonishment, and subconsciously pressed against his chest.

"You, why... kissed me suddenly again!"

"Well, do you want to tell me in advance? Well then... I will tell you in advance."

Yan Xiuchen echoed softly, his eyes wandering over her face, and he reached out to remove the hand that was pressing against his chest.

"You just slapped me, so consider it as compensation."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen kissed her again. This time, he didn't give her any chance to breathe, as if he wanted to swallow her up.

When did this man become so presumptuous? In the past, he would act like a deserter if he spoke a few words to her.

"Your Highness, Miss Wanyue from Shunqing Marquis's Mansion is here."

Jiang Qingwu was startled and pushed Yan Xiuchen away violently. This time she lowered her head like a deserter.

"Let her in." Yan Xiuchen smiled and looked at Jiang Qingwu playfully, agreeing without turning his head.

Then he slowly approached Jiang Qingwu, with a teasing smile in his eyes, "It is indeed very bitter. Next time, do you want me or candied fruit?"

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, raised his eyes, cleared his throat and said, "...I want them all."

Yan Xiuchen nodded and smiled, agreeing softly, "Okay."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the young lady." Wan Yue bowed not far away, with Tang Zhi beside her.

Yan Xiuchen glanced at the two of them, sat up straight, and put some distance between himself and Jiang Qingwu.

He gently shook the golden bronze fan in his hand, and his face became serious.

"Shen Zhuoran was thrown into a mass grave, and the Shen family won't be able to find him for a while."

Jiang Qingwu heard the voice and suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Mass grave? You threw his body into a mass grave?"

“Yes, didn’t you say that we shouldn’t let the Shen family find him for the time being?”

Jiang Qingwu remembered what he had told Jiang Jiu and nodded blankly, "Yes, I said that."

It's really God's will. He was her eldest brother in her previous life, and now he is Shen Wanrong's second brother.

This is what it means to truly give someone a taste of their own medicine.

"There is also Shen Wanrong, Xicheng, Liushantang."

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses and quickly sat up straight.

"What are you going to do? I think I'm fine now. I can go."

"Your pale face... If you want to go, take care of yourself."

Jiang Qingwu nodded thoughtfully, suddenly realized something, looked around and said.

"My being here won't alert the people who are keeping an eye on Shunqing Marquis Mansion and me."

"However, if the Shen family knew that Shen Zhuoran went to look for me yesterday and he did not return all night, they would definitely make trouble for my family."

"Without any evidence, he dare not enter the Shunqing Marquis's mansion without permission."

Yan Xiuchen said, moving closer to Jiang Qingwu and comforting him, "You should recover first, and don't worry about the rest."

Jiang Qingwu saw Tang Zhi coming over to push Yan Xiuchen, and couldn't help but hurriedly pulled Yan Xiuchen, "Where are you going? It's already noon, you still want to go to court?"

"Let's go outside the city. Shen Wanrong... stay here for another two days."

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, nodded blankly, and let go of Yan Xiuchen in a daze.

"Oh, then...then go ahead."

Yan Xiuchen also seemed to notice Jiang Qingwu's uneasiness and reluctance. He smiled slightly and lowered his voice to him.

"Do you still remember what I said in the carriage before? You, take good care of your injuries."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly remembered something.

He said that once this matter was over, they would hold an engagement party and get married.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly and sat on the bed obediently.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen leaving, she reluctantly got out of bed and ran to the window barefoot.

Wanyue looked at Jiang Qingwu's useless appearance, shook her head with disdain, took her shoes and walked towards him.

"Girl, everyone is gone, you are such a loser."

"Although this prince is powerful and good-looking, he is ultimately a ..."

"He is a cripple after all, and he is quite scheming and calculating. He is also ten years older than you. Why do you think he is so rare?"

Wanyue muttered as she put shoes on Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu, on the other hand, didn't care. He gently covered his shoulders, his eyes fixed on Yan Xiuchen who was walking away.

"Little brat, what do you know? When you hit a wall, you will know which road has the best man."

Wan Yue sighed heavily, shook her head, and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu. She looked out the window and frowned.

"Girl, are you looking at the air with such relish?"

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses when he heard the voice.

There was no trace of Yan Xiuchen in the yard.

He glanced at Wanyue and turned back to bed.

"Why are you here? Is everything alright in the mansion? Are father and elder brother angry?"

Wan Yue chuckled and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, "Miss, you finally remembered the master and the others?"

"Don't worry, His Highness wrote a letter to the Master yesterday, explaining everything clearly."

"When this servant arrived, the young master had just gone to Wutong Garden and was calling Xing'er, wearing your clothes and pretending to be you."

"He also said that he would invite some of the shop owners who frequented the girls' clothing and jewelry stores to send some stuff to their homes."

"I promise that no one will find out that you are not in the mansion."

Jiang Qingwu nodded and sighed heavily, "Actually, it doesn't matter where I am."

"It's important that they don't know I'm injured."

"Otherwise, I will definitely be blamed for Shen Zhuoran's misdeeds, and then my deception of Yan Lin will be exposed."

"If you make trouble in the palace again, you will get into trouble."

At that time, in the tea house.

Gu Yanbai had just sent Yan Lin away to meet Duke Shen when his subordinate Gu Ming hurried over to see him.

Seeing Gu Ming's hurried look, Gu Yanbai immediately turned around and went back to his room.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir, I have found out something." Having said that, Gu Ming nervously closed the door again.

He knelt down beside the low table and moved closer to Gu Yanbai, "Jiang Qingwu is not in Shunqing Marquis's Mansion, but in the Prince Regent's Mansion."

"And, I was injured."

"Also...she was rescued by a mysterious person. She and that person entered the palace and never came out again."

Gu Yanbai narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is the injury serious?"

"It should be fine. There is no disturbance in the palace."

Gu Yanbai seemed to be relieved when he heard this, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Jiang Qingwu was injured and was not in Shunqing Marquis's residence. It seems that this girl was trying to hide the truth yesterday."

"Shen Zhuoran's disappearance must be related to her..."

"Mysterious man, do you know what that mysterious man looks like?"

Gu Ming shook his head slightly and said, "The person who was staring at the Regent's Palace was far away, and the other party was good at Qinggong. All we know is that he was dressed in black and wearing a silver mask."

"Guess who this man in black is?" Gu Yanbai turned the green jade flute with a smile on his face.

Gu Ming pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Left or right confidants, or..."

"Yan Xiuchen himself." Gu Yanbai blurted out, followed by a loud laugh, "Hahaha, interesting, really interesting."

……

Duke Shen's Mansion, the main hall of the Shen family.

Shen Chengshan and Yan Lin sat side by side. When Shen Chengshan heard the report from his men, he slammed the table and stood up.

"You bunch of idiots, you didn't find the young lady, and you didn't find the second young master either?"

"I am incompetent. I have indeed searched all the places where the Second Young Master might go."

Shen Chengshan was still furious and clenched his fists tightly, "Impossible, it's impossible not to see anyone."

"Even if this bastard just gambled, went to a restaurant, or a brothel, there would be no news at all."

Shen Chengshan paced anxiously in the hall, but Yan Lin was drinking tea calmly.

Until Shen Chengshan suddenly remembered something, "Jiang Qingwu?!"

"Yes, he said yesterday that Wanrong was abducted by Jiang Qingwu, and he also said that he would go to Jiang Qingwu to settle the score..."

Shen Chengshan murmured, turned around and ordered his men, "Go check where Jiang Qingwu is right now?"

"No need to check. My people have been keeping an eye on her. Since sending Yan Xiuchen out of the city yesterday, she has returned to Shunqing Marquis Mansion and has not come out since."

Shen Chengshan's face was gloomy, and he looked at Yan Lin with doubtful eyes, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I was staring at her hoping to find Wanrong's whereabouts on her, but who would have thought that there was no trace at all."

Shen Chengshan sneered and glanced at Yan Lin with contempt, his face full of disbelief.

"You believe her, but I don't. Jiang Ruhai did it on purpose in the court. This rumor is all over the city, and my son..."

As he spoke, Shen Chengshan shouted to his men, "Gather the men and follow me to Shunqing Marquis's Mansion. I want to see if Jiang Qingwu is there."
