Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen
Chapter 42: On and Off Stage, Two Plays
Jiang Qingwu's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent, something Wanyue had never seen before.
When Jiang Qingwu was losing consciousness, Jiang Ruhai came back from the palace.
The moment he saw Jiang Qingwu, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"Daddy, how are you? Is everything alright in the palace?"
"Let's go back and talk." Jiang Ruhai gestured to Jiang Qingwu, and Jiang Qingwu hurriedly followed.
The two of them went all the way back to Fuyunxuan.
Jiang Ruhai also told Jiang Qingwu everything that happened in the palace without any omissions.
"Today I have finally learned the ability of this regent. He can actually connect all the things."
"They also arranged the witnesses and evidence, and everything was done perfectly."
In the main hall, Jiang Ruhai was holding a cup of tea and sighing.
It seemed as if he was still immersed in the emperor's palace.
Jiang Qingbai, who was standing by, was shocked just by listening. He thought about it for a long time, and then seemed to have figured everything out.
"So, the bandits kidnapped Shen Wanrong, then killed Shen Zhuoran, and finally kidnapped Xing'er near the Marquis' Mansion."
"And on the day Shen Zhuoran disappeared, Ah Wu was at the Marquis' Mansion, and Jiuhan testified..."
"Her injuries were caused by the fight with the bandits when they kidnapped Xing'er."
"Awu didn't see anyone from the Shen family because he was busy looking for Xing'er and the bandits."
"Until last night..."
Jiang Ruhai silently put down his teacup and interrupted, "Until last night, Jiuhan found clues about Xing'er and the bandits, and went to the ruined temple with Awu."
Jiang Qingbai listened, paced in the hall, and smiled in surprise.
"Xing'er was killed. The dead men in black were disguised as bandits by His Highness."
"The one who survived and confessed everything was a bribed death row inmate."
"It's really flawless."
"For a story like this, the Shen family really has a hard time expressing their suffering, but they dare not say anything."
As he spoke, Jiang Qingbai suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Qingwu, "Shen Wanrong is not with you, why is she in the brothel?"
Jiang Qingwu was wondering about this.
She was clearly doing it with Jiang Jiu, but Yan Xiuchen knew it clearly.
Even Shen Wanrong's affairs were arranged properly.
Seeing Jiang Qingbai waiting for an answer, Jiang Qingwu casually agreed, "I asked someone to send Shen Wanrong to the brothel..."
"Yan Xiuchen, he knows."
Jiang Qingbai nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on a chair beside him.
"The Shen family has suffered a loss in this matter, but they may not let it go."
"With the Regent here, I can feel more at ease when I go to Xiangcheng."
Jiang Ruhai suddenly remembered something when he heard the voice. "Oh, by the way, His Majesty ordered you to rush to Xiangcheng in three days."
"okay, I get it."
The two were talking to themselves when Luo Qing's voice came from outside the door.
"Master, young lady, young master... Regent's Palace, Guard Lu wants to see the young lady."
"Let him in." Jiang Qingwu agreed, and soon saw Jiuhan.
He entered carrying a brocade box, handed it to Wanyue beside him, and bowed hurriedly.
"Lu Jiuhan, I pay my respects to the Marquis of Shunqing, the eldest son, and Miss Jiang."
"Get up, Road Guard, is there anything wrong with His Highness?"
Jiu Han heard this and hurriedly shook his head, "Nothing, godfather asked me to bring some snacks that the girl likes."
"Also, godfather has something to tell the girl."
"If the girl feels bored at home, she can go to the Baixi Hall near Chunxiang Tower in Xicheng to watch a play tomorrow."
"The godfather booked a theater for the girl and ordered a play."
Jiang Qingwu's eyes changed, his brows tightened, and he probably guessed something in his heart, "Okay, I'll go."
……
The next afternoon, Jiang Qingwu, along with Wanyue and two personal guards sent by Yan Xiuchen, took a carriage to the Hundred Playhouse in West City.
When she arrived, Yan Xiuchen was already waiting there.
The West City is bustling with people coming and going.
The palace guards were standing guard at the door of the Hundred Playhouse, and the only sound from inside was opera singing.
The boss courteously invited Jiang Qingwu upstairs, where Yan Xiuchen was sitting by the window, sipping tea leisurely.
"So leisurely, sitting here, can you see the show?"
Jiang Qingwu glanced towards the stage downstairs and could vaguely see the hard work of the performance on the stage.
Yan Xiuchen poured the tea and pushed it over with a smile on his lips.
"Just listen to that play, but watch the play outside carefully."
Jiang Qingwu followed Yan Xiuchen's gaze and looked outside.
Sure enough, the gate of Chunxiang Tower can be seen at a glance.
Chunxianglou was already open at this time, with only a few idle guests coming in and out.
Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen who was sipping tea leisurely, with suspicion in his eyes.
"What's your relationship with Jiang Jiu?" Jiang Qingwu suddenly asked.
Yan Xiuchen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Qingwu with questioning eyes.
Just as I was thinking about how to evade the question, Jiang Qingwu spoke first, "Let's not talk about him anymore, okay?"
"I noticed that every time I talked to you about him, you avoided the topic."
"Is he yours?"
"If he was a member of the royal family, he wouldn't have such martial arts skills. If he was a martial arts person, he wouldn't be able to enter and leave the palace freely."
"Moreover, he can wear the floating brocade that is only available to the court nobles and the royal family, and he always knows my whereabouts and what I am dealing with."
"Also, you arranged everything so well. It is absolutely impossible to say that Jiang Jiu did not discuss or collude with you."
"There is only one possibility. He is your man and not some unknown person."
Jiang Qingwu swore that this was the story she thought was closest to the truth.
It was Yan Xiuchen who was unable to move around easily so he invited help from the underworld.
So Yan Xiuchen knew her whereabouts, and Jiang Jiu knew it.
Jiang Jiu knew what happened to her, and Yan Xiuchen also knew it very well.
Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu in astonishment, and couldn't help but smile when he saw her determined expression.
Putting aside the fact that his leg was disabled, she had indeed guessed it quite accurately.
"You...what are you laughing at? Did I guess right?"
Jiang Qingwu picked up the teacup and looked at Yan Xiuchen with sharp eyes.
Yan Xiuchen shook his head slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
"Your guess is not correct, but...it does make sense."
"He's not yours?"
"No...it doesn't count." Yan Xiuchen murmured, picked up the teacup, avoided his gaze, as if dodging.
Not really? Then is it or is it not?
Jiang Qingwu had a lot of thoughts in his mind and his face darkened slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard loud shouting from downstairs.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. The Jingfu Division is investigating this case. All those who have nothing to do with it, please stay away..."
When Jiang Qingwu heard the noise, he immediately stood up and went to the window.
The people from the Jingfusi were walking towards Chunxianglou.
"Father said that you found a good place for Shen Wanrong. Where is it?"
Yan Xiuchen did not answer, but smiled slightly, "This play is better than the one on stage, right?"
"That's true." Jiang Qingwu smiled and turned around and hurried downstairs.
She didn't want to miss the chance to see the show.
As soon as Jiang Qingwu went downstairs, the outside of Chunxiang Tower was already filled with onlookers.
The grand ceremony of the Jingfu Division attracted many people to watch the fun.
While everyone was whispering, Lord Liu from the Beijing Prefecture personally led people to bring Shen Wanrong out of Chunxiang Tower.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."
Shen Wanrong was wearing a cheap peach pink dress, and her clothes were disheveled, making her look very gaudy.
"Oh my god, it's Miss Shen. Wasn't she kidnapped by bandits? Why is she in Chunxiang Tower?"
"I heard that the bandits got tired of playing with her, so they sold her to Chunxianglou at a low price."
"A noble lady from the imperial court is actually accompanying guests in Chunxiang Tower?"
"This is so embarrassing. I'm afraid the entire Shen family will lose face."
The people who had gathered around were making all kinds of comments without any concealment.
I don’t know if it was because Jiang Qingwu’s gaze was too sharp, but Shen Wanrong actually saw her.
He suddenly pushed away the person beside him and rushed towards her like a madman.
"Jiang Qingwu, I will kill you."
