Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The left prime minister and several court officials had been waiting in Shangyang Palace since dawn, but Yan Xiuchen remained calm and unhurried.

When seeing Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai off, they were still lazily leaning on the couch reading books.

It was not until Jiu Ye hurriedly entered the hall with the letter that Yan Xiuchen became more alert.

"Send a letter by carrier pigeon?" Yan Xiuchen raised his eyes and asked.

Jiu Ye nodded slightly and handed over the letter, "A letter from King Ling An."

"Let him go back and rest. I see he hasn't slept all night."

Yan Xiuchen opened the letter by himself. There were only two short names on it.

【Ministry of War Qin Hai, Shangshu Hou Zhou Cheng. 】

Yan Xiuchen looked at the contents of the note, his pupils suddenly sank, "Shangshu Hou?"

"Marquis Shangshu? Is there something wrong with the Marquis Shangshu?" Jiu Ye was also surprised, and then he thought about something, "Godfather, is the Marquis Shangshu's wife..."

"Yes, the daughter of King Purge, the only daughter."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, with an embarrassed look on his face, "She's still my cousin..."

"So, the people that King Suqing has in the court are most likely Shang Shuhou and Qin Hai from the Ministry of War..."

"Maybe not just them, but at least they are."

Jiu Ye saw Yan Xiuchen seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes were ambiguous, and he moved closer cautiously, "Godfather, what are you going to do?"

"The Shangshu Hou has no power, and Yan Qing is not a threat, so we can let her go."

"It's just that Qin Hai from the Ministry of War holds an important position, so we have to be on guard against him."

Jiu Ye couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and blurted out, "In my opinion, it would be better to send Shang Shuhou to a fiefdom in a border town and put an end to it once and for all."

When Yan Xiuchen heard the voice, a trace of worry appeared on his solemn face.

"It's okay, but... I'm afraid if I push King Suqing too hard, he'll use Gu Qing as revenge to threaten me."

Yan Xiuchen murmured, then calmly looked at Jiuye, "I know what's going on. By the way, are Shangshu Hou and Qin Hai in Shangyang Palace?"

"Yes, and the Left Prime Minister and Shunqing Marquis."

Yan Xiuchen nodded gently, then smiled softly, "My father-in-law must be really worried, so he followed me."

"Tan Xi...change clothes..." Yan Xiuchen shouted in the distance. Jiu Ye suddenly came to his senses and turned around to greet him.

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth and was about to ask something in confusion, but he saw Jiu Ye taking the clothes that Tan Xi brought.

The corners of Yan Xiuchen's thin lips slightly lifted, and his eyes lit up strangely, "Change her clothes for me, so she won't be tired."

Jiu Ye came back to his senses and opened his mouth to explain, "No, godfather, I asked her to pour you some tea and wash up..."

"After a few days, I will let you leave the palace... You can choose whether to be a prince or a general..."

"No, godfather, why did you bring this up again? You can't be without someone by your side. My brother and I will stay with you and won't go anywhere."

Jiu Ye muttered confidently while putting clothes on Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen raised his lips slightly and sighed, "Now, I am the current emperor, and you are my adopted sons. How can you just be a close guard?"

Yan Xiuchen said, looking at Jiuye steadily, "Besides, you and Jiuhan are both children of noble families, so it's not a problem for you to be made marquises or prime ministers."

Jiu Ye was stunned for a moment, then he laughed bitterly and said, "What kind of noble family kid? If it weren't for godfather saving us, my brother and I would have died long ago."

"No matter what, wherever godfather is, that's where we are."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Tan Xi who was approaching from afar, cleared his throat and lowered his voice.

"You don't mind, but I can't bear to see Tan Xi marry a guard."

Jiu Ye's pupils brightened, and just as he was about to speak in panic, he saw Tan Xi coming over, and immediately suppressed his words.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but smile, "By the way, I want Jiuhan to accompany the Queen and Gu Yanbai out of the palace."

"Go check on Xiao Liuzi and his team later to see how their search is going. Remember to make as much noise as possible."

"Yes, godfather."

……

At that time, outside the palace, Nan Xiuye ​​sent a letter to Yan Xiuchen in the palace by carrier pigeon, and then returned to Ling'an Palace.

But just as he entered the villa, he was startled and stopped suddenly.

The villa was filled with corpses, countless guards from Prince Ling'an's mansion were killed or wounded, and blood flowed like a river.

Nan Xiuye's eyes darkened and he vigilantly clenched the Tianyun Sword in his hand, but after taking just two steps, he noticed something.

The moment he turned around, he saw King Suqing slapping him.

Nan Xiuye ​​resisted in time, but was still defeated. He was hit hard and spit out blood when he fell out.

The next moment, King Suqing pulled up the injured Luo in the corridor and pushed her towards Nan Xiuye.

A'Luo covered her injured arm. Seeing Nan Xiuye ​​vomiting blood, she hurried over and asked, "Master, how are you?"

Nan Xiuye ​​looked at King Suqing in the distance and shook his head slightly, "How are you?"

"I kept her alive because I wanted to give you another chance to continue working for me..."

Nan Xiuye ​​looked at King Suqing in disbelief and sneered, "You're dreaming."

King Suqing suppressed his anger and walked closer to him.

"Now, everyone in the capital knows that Ling'an Wang Yan Xiuye ​​is a favorite of the new emperor."

"With tremendous power and distinguished status..."

King Purge said this while looking at Nan Xiuye ​​viciously.

“Humph, now that you have become so successful, you still use my name. After all, you can’t change your blood.”

Nan Xiuye ​​was supported by A'Luo and slowly stood up, "I don't mind... using your name."

"So, it's you who's disgusting... not me."

Upon hearing this, King Suqing's eyes were filled with murderous intent. His teeth were almost broken, and he clenched his fists tightly. "You really disgust me."

"You think Yan Xiuchen is sincere to you, but he is just using you, just like me."

"You work for him, you work for me, it's the same thing, it's just that you change from being my pawn to being his pawn."

"Haha..." Nan Xiuye ​​laughed coldly, looking at King Suqing with bitter eyes, "I am happy with it, what's your business?"

"He saved my life and gave me the antidote. Being his pawn, at least I can live in the sun and with clarity."

"He saved you? Humph, I gave you your life. Without me, there would be no you..."

King Suqing shouted loudly, then lifted up a stone bench beside him and walked towards Nan Xiuye.

Nan Xiuye ​​saw this and pulled A Luo over to avoid it.

But when he looked again, King Suqing had already arrived and grabbed his neck tightly.

"Young Master..." A'Luo shouted, and just as she stepped forward, she was slapped away by King Purge.

"I gave you this life, today, I will take it back..."

Nan Xiuye ​​was unable to use his internal strength and tried to struggle and resist, but to no avail. Looking at King Suqing gritting his teeth, he felt only sadness in his heart.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Why... are you so protective of Yan Xiuchen..."

"But...but he can kill his own son."

King Suqing's hands gradually became stronger, and Nan Xiuye ​​became unable to speak.

"Everyone has their own value. It is obvious that Yan Xiuchen's value is far higher than yours."

King Suqing's words echoed in Nan Xiuye's ears, and his vision gradually became blurred.

But when he gave up in despair and gradually lost consciousness, Gu Yanbai's voice suddenly came from the air, "Old man, stop it!"

Upon hearing the voice, King Suqing turned to look at Gu Yanbai.

However, he did not notice that Jiang Qingwu on the other side was stabbing at him with a soft sword in hand.
