Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu was holding the teacup and almost choked to death on a mouthful of tea.

I just said that this girl is heartless and has no plan, and now she is about to meet Shen Zhuowen.

Even if she is really heartless, Shen Zhuowen does have a heart and lungs.

"No." Jiang Qingwu said firmly. Yan Xue's expression changed instantly and she suddenly sat up straight.

"Why not? I'm just going to check on him. You can send someone to watch over me."

"That won't work either." Jiang Qingwu still insisted, his face gradually darkened, and he slowly stood up and was about to leave.

When Yan Xue saw Jiang Qingwu was about to leave, she immediately became like a different person and chased after him in one quick step.

"Jiang Qingwu, don't go too far. Others said that you killed my mother, but I didn't believe it."

"I just want to go see my grandfather and cousin now, what's wrong?"

"The Shen family and Third Brother ended up like this because of you. Don't force me to turn against you."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xue who was standing in front of him with a sword drawn. Now he believed that she was really heartless.

If he really had some plan, he wouldn't have turned against her so easily and scolded her.

"As a traitor, isn't it natural that he should end up like this?" Jiang Qingwu smiled and stretched out his hand towards Wanyue.

Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then turned and left.

"Where are you going?"

Wan Yue suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Jiang Qingwu with a puzzled look on his face, and felt a little guilty.

"I will fetch you a knife."

"What knife? A fan? A fan..."

Jiang Qingwu spoke softly to Wanyue, and Xiao Luzi immediately took the round fan on the table and handed it over.

Jiang Qingwu took a deep breath, took the round fan, and gently shook it, "You must know that the Shen family has joined forces with Yan Lin to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate."

"Yan Lin is on the run and the Shen family is imprisoned. Your Majesty has shown mercy. Otherwise..."

"Nearly half of the Shen family died, isn't that enough? How can you be so cruel..." Yan Xue rushed over and shouted.

Jiang Qingwu was not in a hurry. He gently waved his round fan and went to the bedroom at the back. "Nearly half, only fifteen people, and they are traitors who hold military power..."

"You think it's easy to be a traitor?"

Yan Xue snorted coldly, suppressed her anger and chased after Jiang Qingwu.

"What a traitor! If he had succeeded in forcing the emperor to abdicate, the one sitting on the throne today would be my third brother, and my mother would have the final say in the harem."

"Maybe right now, the person in jail is you."

Prison? If Yan Lin took the throne, she would die miserably.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you want to blame someone, blame Yan Lin for abusing his power and forcing the emperor to abdicate. If it weren't for the current emperor's plan to save them, more than half of the court's loyal officials would have been dealt with by him."

As Jiang Qingwu was talking, he stopped and turned to look at Yan Xue.

"Why do you want to see them?"

Hearing this, Yan Xue lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, hesitating as she spoke, "My...my grandfather, my grandfather's birthday is the day after tomorrow."

"Aren't you going back to the Jiang family tomorrow? I can follow you out of the palace."

Yan Xue came over and immediately put on an apologetic smile.

"If you are worried, just send someone to watch me, or you can follow me yourself."

As he said this, he raised his hand and said, "I swear, I promise I have no bad intentions."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xue steadily, hesitated for a moment, and chuckled softly, "I will...consider it."

"Well... OK, I'll come over for dinner. You promised to take me to Shangyang Palace for dinner, don't forget it."

Having said that, Yan Xue bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwu, then turned around and hurried away.

Looking at Yan Xue's relaxed footsteps and back, Jiang Qingwu's expression gradually became solemn.

In fact, when Yan Xue said she was going to meet Shen Zhuowen, she seemed to have the answer in her heart.

She also wanted to see if there was any connection or involvement between Yan Xue and Shen Zhuowen.

If Yan Xue is the King of Purge, a chess piece placed in the palace by Yan Lin and Shen Wanrong, she will definitely take action when she sees Shen Zhuowen this time.

If not, maybe it was really just for Shen Chengshan’s birthday, so that he could worry less about Yan Xue in the future.

"Is Shen Chengshan's birthday the day after tomorrow?"

Wanyue thought for a moment and shook her head slightly, "I'm not sure. Last year, Shen Chengshan's birthday party was over because something happened to Shen Wanrong, so it didn't seem to be held."

"Yes, your majesty, it is indeed the day after tomorrow, and I will be fifty-five years old." Xiao Luzi came over and whispered.

"Fifty-five years old. Haha, luckily, Shen Chengshan has no grandchildren or descendants, otherwise, I would have never been able to kill them all."

Jiang Qingwu murmured thoughtfully, and then suddenly remembered something.

"Xiao Luzi, from now on, you, Wanyue, and Aqin should pay more attention to the food and utensils that are close to me."

"The Queen Mother can use Fu Li to drug me today, and maybe she can let someone close to her harm me."

"Yes, the servants who serve closely and the maids in the room have all been carefully screened."

"Your Majesty has specifically instructed me to be extremely cautious."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Xiao Luzi and waved his fan, but he was still worried.

"Go, call Imperial Physician Li... Ask him to check this Fengxiang Palace carefully for me."

"Oh, by the way, you should go to Shangyang Palace again before evening."

"Go tell Gu Yanbai that for dinner, I will take the Fourth Princess to see him at Shangyang Palace and have dinner together. Let him decide for himself."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Wanyue saw Xiao Luzi walking away, so she turned around and followed Jiang Qingwu.

"Girl, didn't you promise the Fourth Princess? Are you just trying to please her?"

Jiang Qingwu turned his head to look at Wanyue and sighed secretly, "Gu Yanbai...he and Yan Xiuchen are as close as brothers, he will not accept Yan Xue."

"What's more, Yan Xue is the daughter of Concubine Shen, a child of the Shen family."

"In the past, Gu Yanbai and Yan Lin formed an alliance and played the Shen family and Yan Lin around."

"If Yan Xue is involved with the Shen family and King Suqing, I'm afraid she is deliberately trying to get close to Gu Yanbai and harm him."

……

The sky gradually darkened, and Jiang Qingwu took Yan Xue to Shangyang Palace as promised.

It was said that Jiang Qingwu brought Yan Xue with her, but Yan Xue walked faster than her.

"Hurry up, I can't wait any longer..."

Yan Xue turned back while speaking, and then suddenly realized something, "Oh, yes, you haven't been to Shangyang Palace very often."

"I can introduce it to you."

Having said that, Yan Xue started mumbling to herself.

"Shangyang Palace is divided into two palaces, Qianming Palace, and each is divided into two halls, left and right."

"When your majesty meets with ministers, it is in the Shangyang Palace, on the left side of the Qian Palace. It is where your majesty handles state affairs and reviews memorials. The right side of the palace is called the Chengshu Palace."

"The Ming Palace is just behind the Qian Palace. It is also your Majesty's bedroom. The left and right palaces are both considered bedrooms. The right palace is your Majesty's bedroom and private place."

"Today's dinner should be in the Left Palace. Oh, doesn't Gu Yanbai live in His Majesty's bedroom?"

"He should also be staying in the left palace, and his name is..."

Yan Xue talked a lot to herself, and Jiang Qingwu behind her only felt the noise in her ears.

Seeing her hesitation, he interrupted her hastily, "Call Changle Palace."

Yan Xue heard the voice and turned back to smile, "Yes, yes, yes, I rarely went to the Left Palace before, I always went to my father's..."

"No, it's my father's Fenghua Palace, where your majesty sleeps."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the Green Bamboo Garden between Changle Hall and Fenghua Hall has been repaired and opened up, and it can lead to the lakeside corridor of Bilan Lake."

"Today we..."

Yan Xue was chattering away when, in the dim light, a mocking sneer came from the rooftop, right above their heads.

"It's ridiculous!"
