Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Everyone in the palace knew that Yan Xue was in love with Gu Yanbai, so her words did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

"Yes, I will obey your command." The assistant of Imperial Physician Li leaned forward to agree, then retreated on his own.

Seeing the person walking away, Yan Xue winked at the maid behind her.

The two of them then stood outside the door to keep watch.

And Yan Xue silently took out the poison given to him by King Suqing.

But when he took out the poison, he hesitated again.

What did Nan Xiuye ​​do wrong? He did nothing wrong!

He was so badly harmed by his own biological father, and now he has just got an identity and is living a good life.

What's more, she had no grudges against Nan Xiuye. He was not the one who harmed the Shen family, nor was he the one who harmed her mother.

Yan Xue thought secretly, then stuffed the medicine bottle back, but when she turned around to leave, she remembered King Suqing's words.

If she didn't kill Nan Xiuye, King Suqing would not help her save Shen Zhuowen and the others.

They are the only remaining bloodline of the Shen family. How can they be worthy of their dead mother if they do not save them?

Now, she has been suspected. Perhaps this is her only chance. If she misses it, she will never be able to do it again.

Yan Xue had already walked to the door, but after some hesitation, she turned back.

……

Yan Xue originally wanted to deliver the medicine to Shangyang Palace and Changle Palace in person.

But before he reached Shangyang Palace, he ran into Wanyue.

Yan Xue paused, looked at Wan Yue's figure from afar, and hurriedly waved to the palace maid holding the medicine bowl behind her.

"You can take a detour and say that it's the prince's medicine sent by the Imperial Medical Bureau."

"Yes, princess."

As soon as the palace maid behind her left, Wan Yue saw Yan Xue, and then quickened her pace to meet her.

"Your servant greets the Fourth Princess. Your Majesty and the Queen invite the Princess to have dinner at Shangyang Palace."

"Really? That's great. I'm just about to go over to see His Majesty."

Yan Xue echoed him and walked briskly towards the direction of Shangyang Palace.

But I was worried and scared.

In Shangyang Palace, Yan Xue followed Wan Yue all the way to Fenghua Palace.

In Fenghua Palace, Yan Xiuchen stood at a table in the distance, waving a wolf-hair brush in his hand and writing something.

Jiang Qingwu was sitting on a couch by the window in a side hall, holding a book, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

The night gradually encroached. Although the hall was brightly lit with candles, Jiang Qingwu was still submerged in the dark light with many overlapping shadows.

"Princess..." Wanyue reminded in a low voice. Yan Xue then came to her senses and went towards Jiang Qingwu.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xue who was bowing to him and was actually a little dazed for a moment.

When they first met Yan Xue, they had a fight over the greetings.

Later on, she had never been so submissive before.

I don't know when it started, but she lost her previous lively appearance.

"Get up." Jiang Qingwu agreed, silently put down the book in his hand, and gestured to Yan Xue to sit aside.

"Wanyue, bring me the gift for Yanxue."

"Yes."

Yan Xue looked at Jiang Qingwu in astonishment, puzzled but did not speak. She looked at Yan Xiuchen in the distance and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty..."

"Oh, it's a matter of the imperial court, an order to the general stationed in the east."

"Eastern Territory? Is it about Sang Country?" Yan Xue asked without thinking.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xue and smiled, "The Lord of Sang thanks us, Great Yan, for reinforcing them to resist the invasion of the Fuye tribe."

"So they are willing to stop the war and negotiate with us, Great Yan. This is all thanks to Gu Yanbai's mediation."

Yan Xue nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "So, he is really Prince Zen of Sang Country, and really the designated crown prince?"

"Yes, the King of Sang Kingdom valued him and adopted him as his adopted son. He was designated as the Crown Prince. This is known to the whole country."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu moved closer to Yan Xue, "What's wrong? Do you really belong to him?"

"It's just a show, don't take it too seriously." Jiang Qingwu said lightly.

Looking at Wanyue approaching, she gestured to Yanxue, "This is a gift I specially picked for you."

Yan Xue was a little confused, and her thoughts were suddenly pulled back.

No one asked about the fact that she was robbed and killed by men in black, nor did they ask about the fact that she knew martial arts.

Without saying anything, he just sat here, reading a book calmly.

Also gave her a gift.

This doesn't look like an interrogation at all.

"Princess." Wan Yue bowed slightly and handed the box in her hand to Yan Xue.

"Thank you for the gift, aunt. What is it?"

Yan Xue opened the box while asking, but she didn't expect that inside the box was a necklace made of jade beads.

When Yan Xue saw the beads, she suddenly stood up and threw the box away.

When he saw Wanyue picking up the box, he suddenly came to his senses.

"It seems that your majesty guessed correctly. You did lose a string of jade collars."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xue with a panicked look and silently took the beads handed to him by Wan Yue.

"This string of beads was given to me by His Majesty when I entered the palace. They are all made of top-quality jadeite."

"It only looks the same as yours, but it's actually different."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu opened a small box on the table beside him and said, "This bead is yours."

Yan Xue looked at the jade bead in the small box and recalled what Nan Xiuye ​​had said that day.

He said, Zhuang Youwen was holding a jade bead in his hand.

"Your son...Your son does not know what your aunt said...means."

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and put the things in his hand on the table impatiently.

"When did you learn Qinggong? It should have been very early."

Yan Xue lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing, and the previous uneasiness and fear were no longer on her face.

Instead, he looked more like a man ready to die.

"That day in Langting Palace, it was you who knocked me out, and Zhuang Youwen..."

Jiang Qingwu said, looking towards Yan Xue, "You are the daughter of Concubine Shen. I knew from the beginning that you were my enemy."

"But despite my vigilance, suspicion, and repeated speculation and caution, I still believed that you were heartless."

"I just didn't expect that you would surprise me."

"The purpose of King Suqing is to support Yan Xiuchen and control the court from behind."

"He won't help Yan Lin become the emperor. Why should you, the Shen family, cooperate with him?"

Yan Xue calmed down, raised her eyes to look at Jiang Qingwu, and shook her head slightly, "What King Suqing? Didn't King Suqing die a long time ago?"

"I don't understand what your aunt is saying."

I didn't expect that such a heartless person on weekdays could be so calm and collected.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xue steadily, and just when he was distracted, Yan Xiuchen's voice came from a distance.

"Gu Yanbai saw you when you met him in Jiyun Lane by the moat."

Hearing Yan Xiuchen's words, Yan Xue turned around and looked.

Only then did he realize that Yan Xiuchen had already walked up to him, holding a written imperial edict in his hand.

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and continued, "If you don't believe me, I will ask someone to call Gu Yanbai over."

"Of course, I can also call Jiuhan. He saw you fighting the man in black with his own eyes, and his Qinggong skills are very good."

"And Nan Xiuye, he has recognized you as the woman who sent the message with a flying knife in Langting Palace."
