Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

All the court officials looked at each other, staring at Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Ruhai who were hurrying away, and stood there in a daze for a moment.

They stopped arguing and fighting, but they didn't dare to leave. They just stood there, looking at each other.

At Shangyang Palace, when Yan Xiuchen rushed to Changle Palace, the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau had already arrived.

Jiang Qingbai and Nan Xiuye ​​had also been sent to the side rooms of Changle Palace.

Jiang Qingbai was fine, but Nan Xiuye ​​had fainted and completely lost consciousness.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the dying Nan Xiuye ​​and the busy imperial physicians, then turned around and grabbed Jiuhan.

"What's going on, Gu Qing?"

"Godmother is fine, but Prince Ling An was...severely injured."

Yan Xiuchen's face turned pale, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He then suddenly let go of Jiuhan.

"What about Gu Qing?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen was here just now. It seems that she went out with Master Gu."

After hearing Zhong Quan's words, Yan Xiuchen turned around and walked away quickly, just in time to meet Jiu Ye who came in from outside.

"Your Majesty..." Jiu Ye hurriedly saluted, walked closer to Yan Xiuchen, and lowered his voice, "Godfather, the young master and godmother have left the palace."

"Didn't they just come back from outside the palace? What were they doing outside the palace?"

"The young master left in a hurry, only saying that he had brought enough guards and would take good care of his godmother."

……

Jiang Qingwu only sent Jiang Qingbai and Nan Xiuye ​​to the vicinity of Shangyang Palace, and then immediately took Wanyue back.

Fortunately, Gu Yanbai reacted and realized something, then he followed Jiang Qingwu out of the palace.

The two of them took Awen, Awu, Wanyue, and the Chihongwei in the dark and went straight to the Jingxingsi.

"Just now there were so many people, but they couldn't beat that old guy. Now there are only a few of us. You are really brave."

"The most dangerous place is the safest. He must have thought that we had returned to the palace. He would never have thought that I would come back."

Jiang Qingwu's face was calm, but his eyes were cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu in astonishment, and lowered his voice as if he was about to say something, "Gu Qing, are you okay?"

Jiang Qingwu also came back to his senses, turned to look at Gu Yanbai, and shook his head slightly, "It's okay."

"But I think you should stay in the palace. I don't know what's happening to your elder brother and Nan Xiuye ​​now."

"The palace has the best imperial doctors and the best medicinal materials, and Imperial Doctor Li is also here."

“I’m the most useless.”

"Besides, today, we were planning to go to the Jingxingsi to meet Xu He and Huan Yue."

Seeing that Jiang Qingwu was clear-headed and rational, Gu Yanbai didn't say anything more.

Just as Jiang Qingwu said, the journey was very peaceful, and even the Beijing Criminal Department did not see anything unusual.

Naturally, the Beijing Criminal Division detained the Shen father and son, countless copies, as well as Xu He and Huan Yue. The number of guards was indeed more than three times more than before.

The chief officer of the Capital Criminal Division received the news in advance and waited outside the Capital Criminal Division with two of his confidants.

It was already noon, and I thought no one would come. Just as I was thinking about going back, I heard the sound of horse hooves.

"Here they come, Queen... and Master Gu..."

"Coming on horseback?" The captain was surprised and hurriedly took his men to meet him.

"I am Fu Ce, the chief of the Criminal Department of the Capital, and I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Stand up, no need to be polite."

Jiang Qingwu dismounted from his horse, and couldn't help but glance around. He took a quick look and then entered the Beijing Criminal Department.

"Is the person I want to meet available? Has anyone... seen what she looks like?"

The captain Fu Ce followed behind him obediently and responded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the female prisoner has been imprisoned in the death row of the Beijing Criminal Department."

"She had a tin mask on her head that she couldn't take off. No one had ever seen what she looked like."

"And the new replicas that came in, those related to the Empress, all wore masks."

Gu Yanbai followed on the other side and raised the corner of his lips secretly, "You have thought it through."

"By the way, where's Xu He?"

"Xu He...is not in the death row. He is in the southwest yard, but he is under close surveillance. Everything is fine."

Jiang Qingwu nodded gently and stopped outside the death cell door, "Prepare some food and... bring some wine."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the open prison door and was about to go in, but Gu Yanbai stopped her.

"Can you do it alone?"

"Where are you going?"

"I mean, if you're alone, I'll go see Xu He."

Jiang Qingwu remembered that Xu He had been talking about wanting to see Gu Yanbai and had been scolding him, and he felt a little uneasy.

"I can do it alone, but I'm afraid you can't."

Gu Yanbai frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion, "What do you mean I'm afraid I can't do it? How can you say I can't do it?"

"I'm not kidding you." Jiang Qingwu sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Then he said solemnly, "When I was with him before, he kept scolding you and even said he would kill you and cut you into pieces."

"Although he has no martial arts skills, he has strange medical skills. Why don't I go with you later?"

Gu Yanbai was stunned at first, then his eyes were filled with snickering and he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go with you to see Huanyue, and later, you'll accompany me to see Xu He."

"Okay." Jiang Qingwu nodded, turned and entered the dungeon.

Huanyue was wearing a white long skirt, her hair was casually tied into a bun, and she was wearing a half mask on her face, covering half of her head and locking it tightly.

His feet were shackled and one hand was tied with an iron chain, and he was confined to a small space.

Perhaps he didn't expect Jiang Qingwu to come. Until Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai stood outside the prison door, he didn't react.

"Give me the key and go down." Gu Yanbai instructed Fu Ce, then gestured to Wanyue and took the wine and food that were brought to him.

Looking at Fu Ce and the guards leaving, Huan Yue finally came to her senses, "I am so lucky to have the current queen come to a place like this to see me."

Gu Yanbai opened the cell door without hesitation and signaled to Jiang Qingwu, "Be careful with this woman. Her skills are not inferior to yours."

"I've fought with her." Jiang Qingwu said lightly and walked straight in.

"Yes, we had a serious fight in the palace."

Huanyue said with a smile, looking at the food box basket in Wanyue's hand, "Is it for me?"

"Yes, for you."

Jiang Qingwu echoed and gestured to Wanyue, then the roast chicken, braised meat, wine and dishes were all placed on the table.

"And wine... It's so sumptuous, it can't be a farewell meal."

"See you off? Do you think I will come to see you off?" Jiang Qingwu said as he sat down at the table and motioned to Huanyue to sit down.

Huanyue hesitated for a moment and sat quietly aside. However, Gu Yanbai leaned against the prison door and did not come closer.

Huanyue looked at Gu Yanbai in the distance, as if thinking about something, "I remember what you said at the city gate."

"what?"

"You said, let alone His Majesty, I can't even deceive Gu Yanbai."

Huanyue chuckled as she spoke, "Although you are right, the other sentence is wrong."

"Which sentence is wrong?"

"You said that within three days, I would be exposed and would surely die."

"You're wrong. It only took Yan Xiuchen a moment to expose me... and I'm not dead."

"In fact, until now, I still don't understand how I was exposed, so that he could be so cruel just by looking at my face!"
