Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xue was walking in front, but she didn't know the way, so she turned to the ordinary cell in the east.

"We've taken the wrong path. This way." Jiang Qingwu shouted to Yan Xue. Yan Xue immediately turned back, looking frightened, and grabbed Jiang Qingwu's arm.

"I was so scared, I thought the death row inmate had escaped."

"Oh, there are no death row prisoners over there, just some ordinary prisoners." As he said this, Jiang Qingwu vaguely remembered something and stopped.

"Yanxue, do you want to meet Shen Zhuowen?"

Yan Xue was startled and looked at Jiang Qingwu in surprise, "Is it okay? Aren't you afraid that I might do something to you?"

"I am here, what can you do? Besides, I promised you that I would bring you here."

"If that Huanyue hadn't broken into the palace and hurt you..."

Hearing the voice, Yan Xue subconsciously touched her neck. The wound had healed, but the scar was still a little pink.

"Is that female assassin...dead?"

"No, he is imprisoned in the Beijing Criminal Department."

Yan Xue looked surprised, frowned and grabbed Jiang Qingwu's arm.

"Why don't you kill her? She's a bad person. I heard that she was responsible for your disappearance and injury outside the palace."

"Why keep her?"

When Jiang Qingwu saw Yan Xue's indignation, he just thought she was angry about his injury and didn't think much about it.

"It would be useful to keep her, and there's no need to kill her now..."

Jiang Qingwu murmured thoughtfully, then gestured to Wanyue, "Ask Siwei to make arrangements, and we'll go meet Shen Zhuowen."

Jiang Qingwu turned around and headed towards the direction where Shen Zhuowen was imprisoned, but Yan Xue was still standing there in a daze.

"Yan Xue..."

After hearing the shout, Yan Xue came to her senses and quickly chased after him.

The dungeon where Shen Zhuowen and Shen Chengshan were detained was empty, with only the two of them, but it was heavily guarded, with three layers of guards inside and outside.

"Cousin...Uncle..." Yan Xue saw Shen Chengshan and Shen Zhuowen and hurried over.

The two men seemed surprised as well and walked towards the prison door in disbelief.

"Xue'er..."

"Yanxue, why is it you? Why are you here?"

As soon as Shen Zhuowen finished speaking, he saw Jiang Qingwu following him, and his face changed instantly.

"It's you?"

"Don't be so nervous. I promised Yan Xue to come and see you."

Hearing this, Yan Xue hurriedly nodded to Shen Zhuowen, "Cousin, don't worry, the Queen has no ill intentions."

"Yan Xue, she is the murderer who killed your mother, how could you..."

"Cousin, there is no evidence to prove that she killed my mother. Moreover, she was very kind to me. My father abdicated, and I am a princess in name only."

"If it weren't for your Majesty and the Queen, I would probably have to follow my father to Qingshui Garden to become a little princess."

Yan Xue interrupted Shen Zhuowen in time, with red eyes, and grabbed Shen Zhuowen's hand.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Cousin, are you and uncle okay? Are you sick? I miss you so much."

Yan Xue cried with a look of grievance, holding Shen Zhuowen's hand, tears in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay. Everything is fine. Eat and then sleep. Waking up and then eating. Everything is fine..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the three people's sad faces and couldn't stay there for a moment longer, so he turned around and strode out of the dungeon.

Seeing this, Wan Yue hesitantly followed Jiang Qingwu and said, "Miss, are we just going to leave like this and let the princess stay with them?"

"just in case……"

"Aren't there guards inside?"

Jiang Qingwu stood outside the dungeon, sighed softly, and became more alert.

"You stay here and look after her. Take Yan Xue out later. I'll go find Gu Yanbai first."

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, young lady."

When Jiang Qingwu arrived at the villa, Gu Yanbai and Xu He were sitting in the house drinking.

Xu He was already drunk. He was lying on the table, mumbling something, but no one knew what he was saying.

Gu Yanbai put his feet on the table, holding a wine glass in his hand. He was a little drunk, leaning his body slightly, staring out the window, as if he had lost his soul.

"Are you drunk?" Jiang Qingwu's voice was very soft, but Gu Yanbai quickly came to his senses. When he turned around, he hurriedly pointed at the ground towards Jiang Qingwu.

"Be careful on the ground."

Jiang Qingwu looked down and found that the ground was covered with broken pieces of wine jars.

"This is...what happened? How much alcohol did you drink?"

Gu Yanbai sighed, put down his glass, and quickly stood up, saying, "I didn't drink much, it was all his."

"Don't come over here. The room reeks of alcohol. We've talked about everything we need to talk about. We can leave now."

Gu Yanbai said as he pulled Jiang Qingwu out.

Jiang Qingwu looked back at Xu He, then followed Gu Yanbai out of the house.

"Let's go sit over there and wait for Yan Xue, then go back to the palace together."

"Waiting for Yan Xue? Did you let her in?" Gu Yanbai saw Jiang Qingwu walking towards the pavilion in the distance on his own and hurriedly followed him.

Jiang Qingwu nodded, not taking it seriously, "Not only did he let her in, he also let her go to see Shen Zhuowen."

"You let her go to see Shen Zhuowen and his son? Aren't you afraid..."

"I am a little worried, but I promised her before that I would let him meet Shen Zhuowen. I was the one who brought it up today."

"Even if there was anything, they were not prepared at all."

Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly, sat at the table and shook his head, "I finally discovered your shortcomings. It turns out that people are not perfect."

"What shortcomings?"

"You're so soft-hearted." Gu Yanbai chuckled and tapped the table with his fingers, as if preaching, "That Yan Xue is already fourteen... No, she'll be fifteen soon."

"When you were fourteen or fifteen, you were as tall as you are now, and you were already on the battlefield."

"Even if she is innocent and has no bad intentions, she has the ability to distinguish right from wrong."

"The deceased Concubine Shen was her biological mother. Do you trust her so much?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai seriously and nodded solemnly, "I understand. I know what you mean."

"I have never let down my guard either, but...she had no part in the feud between Concubine Shen and the Shen family."

"Don't even mention that she won't seek revenge from me now. Even if she does, I won't kill her."

Gu Yanbai looked puzzled and even more puzzled. He shrank back and said, "If you can let Yan Xue go, why can't you let the rest of the Shen family go?"

"It was Shen Wanrong who harmed you, not Shen Zhuoran and Shen Zhuowen. Aren't they different?"

The same? How is it the same? In the previous life, all the members of the Shen family were soldiers, and everyone's hands were stained with the blood of the Jiang family.

What's more, Shen Zhuoran came to her door on his own initiative. If he wanted to humiliate her, he must die.

"Of course it's different. Shen Zhuoran hurt me and humiliated me. Shen Zhuoqi was an accomplice to the evil, not to mention Shen Zhuowen..."

"What did Yan Xue do? She didn't do anything."

Gu Yanbai sighed softly and nodded helplessly, "I hope you are right."

"By the way, how are Nan Xiuye ​​and your elder brother? Are they feeling better? Yan Xue, come here, did you tell them..."

When Jiang Qingwu heard Gu Yanbai's words, his face suddenly became gloomy and he shook his head slightly.

"I...I, I didn't ask. My brother...my brother should be fine."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu stood up and walked out.

Gu Yanbai felt something was wrong. Looking at Jiang Qingwu's back, he suddenly felt uneasy and hurriedly chased after him.

"You're lying to me. What do you mean you didn't ask? Nan Xiuye ​​won't die, will he?"
