Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu changed his clothes, took Wanyue with him and took the prescription. When he came out of the bedroom, he went straight to Gu Yanbai's Changle Palace.

But I didn't expect to run into Yan Xiu Jin at the corner of the corridor.

Yan Xiujin was also a little surprised when he saw Jiang Qingwu. After he came to his senses, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Sister-in-law. Your injuries have improved a lot, why don't you take a good rest?"

Jiang Qingwu slowly came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and hid his hands behind his back without making a sound.

"I'm fine. I was bored staying in the house, so I came out for a walk. Are you looking for Yan Xiuchen?"

"After he left the court, he discussed important matters with my father and others in Chengshu Hall. Why don't you go to Fenghua Hall and have a cup of tea and wait for him."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu prepared to leave as if escaping.

Yan Xiu Jin noticed Jiang Qingwu's hidden hand and the faintly visible prescription.

But I didn't plan to fight for it again.

First, Jiang Qingwu's injuries have not healed yet and he cannot use force. Second, he has already instructed the imperial physician Li.

Imperial Physician Li has been in the palace for many years and knows his limits, so he will not speak nonsense.

"Yes, I do have something I want to see my brother, so I won't bother my sister-in-law."

Yan Xiujin bowed and was about to make way, but suddenly he saw Xu He limping after Jiang Qingwu, staggering from side to side.

"Hey, you naughty girl, I've agreed to help you. I'll give you as much wine as you want."

"You just took a jar of wine and tried to fool me, didn't you?"

Xu He was holding a jar of wine in his hand and kept chasing and shouting.

Jiang Qingwu looked helpless and winked secretly at Wanyue.

"Come on, I'll get you some wine, now you're gone." Wan Yue stopped Xu He and dragged him away.

Despite this, Yan Xiu Jin still understood something.

"My dear brother, I remember that Xu He was the miracle doctor who treated Gu Yanbai, right?"

Jiang Qingwu laughed when he heard the voice and said, "What kind of weird doctor is this? He is just a charlatan. How can he be considered a miracle doctor?"

"It can change a person's appearance, it can be brought by Gu Yanbai from afar, and now it has cured his illness."

"It shows that his medical skills are amazing."

As Yan Xiujin spoke, his gaze towards Jiang Qingwu gradually became sinister, "Sister-in-law, I never thought that you would seek help from this crazy doctor."

Jiang Qingwu heard this and stopped trying to hide it. His face suddenly darkened. "If you dare to kill him, Yan Xiuchen will never forgive you."

"He is the only one who can cure Gu Yanbai."

"You know how important Gu Yanbai is to Yan Xiuchen."

Yan Xiujin chuckled and sighed, "I know that my brother has suffered a lot because of that guy."

"I will not kill him, nor will I fight with the Empress's wife."

"It's just that I want to have a good deal with the Emperor's sister-in-law."

As he spoke, Yan Xiu Jin's gaze moved behind Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu subconsciously took a step back, "You want a prescription?"

"But you have to understand that Gu Yanbai believes my words far more than this prescription."

"You took the prescription, it's useless."

"That's why I want to make a deal with the Queen's wife."

What on earth is this man going to do?

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiujin in confusion, then turned and headed towards Bilan Lake.

On the corridor by the lake, the sound of flowing water among the rockery can be heard.

Jiang Qingwu sent away the palace maids around them, and almost no one could hear the voices of the two people talking.

"Sister-in-law, let me get straight to the point. Do you know what disease the prescription is for and who it is for?"

Jiang Qingwu stood in the corridor, looking at Yan Xiujin who was sitting beside the stone table. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Since I entered the palace, Imperial Physician Li has examined me, diagnosed me, and prescribed medicine for me countless times."

"I have also been to the Imperial Medical Office. In order to distinguish between noble and humble people, the Imperial Medical Office used prescriptions for the palace masters on light yellow paper."

"Only the emperor, the empress dowager, and the queen used a bright yellow medicine."

"Xu He has already told me most of the contents of this prescription, and I have also guessed most of it."

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and said hesitantly, "If my guess is correct, this prescription was used by the late emperor."

"Most of them are precious and rare medicinal materials, which are in short supply."

"And if it really is the late emperor, then it can explain why you and Yan Xiuchen are unwilling to reveal this secret."

"Even at the cost of killing the innocent doctor."

"Moreover, it can also explain why the late emperor wanted to eliminate the entire Gu family without any reason and could not announce it to the world."

Yan Xiu Jin was holding a cup of tea, his face gloomy, muttering thoughtfully.

"I had no choice. I have already settled down in the doctor's house."

"I know. I sent people to give the doctor a proper burial, and I found out that your people gave him a large sum of money as compensation, but..."

Jiang Qingwu said, looking over angrily, "But are you just going to protect him like this?"

"Although this matter is a scandal and a disgrace, it is not good for you and Yan Xiuchen, or even the entire royal family and the entire Great Yan."

"But do you know how many people have died at the hands of King Suqing and your father along the way?"

"Emperor Xuanhe is his biological son, and the Queen Mother is his first wife."

"Even if you have protected him for many years in Jiangnan, he will still kill you to silence you."

"What else do you do for him?"

"I'm not helping him. I just don't want things to get out of control." Yan Xiujin blurted out in a moment of desperation.

He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Qingwu, and gradually calmed down his emotions. He stood up and said, "There is no need to talk about this now."

"What you said may not be true, but it is certainly about 70% true."

"I want to make a deal with the Queen's wife today because I am grateful to her for risking her life to save me, and I also feel guilty for seriously injuring her."

"If you hand over the prescription and keep your mouth shut about the truth you know and don't tell anyone, I am willing to agree to go north as an envoy to the Northern Kingdom."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiujin in astonishment. He was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but sneer, "What kind of deal is this? This is a losing deal for me."

Jiang Qingwu said, turned away, and agreed in a cold voice, "What if I don't agree?"

Yan Xiujin probably guessed that Jiang Qingwu might not agree, and a helpless look instantly appeared on his face, "If you don't agree, what can I do?"

"Will I hurt you again? Or kill you? Or silence you?"

"Don't say that my brother will not forgive me. Just because you saved me, how can I repay you with hatred?"

Is this...giving up, compromising?

Jiang Qingwu thought in a state of bewilderment, then suddenly realized something and turned around and asked, "Why don't you call yourself my brother?"

"Isn't it more free and easy to say this way?"

Yan Xiujin opened his mouth in shock, then sighed, "I stopped you, not to help him."

"I'm just afraid that the turmoil of the past will happen again, and it won't just be these people who die now."

Jiang Qingwu's eyes were filled with doubt, and he stepped forward to ask, "The turmoil of the past is reappearing? What turmoil?"

Yan Xiujin looked at Jiang Qingwu, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"The secret records in the palace have all been destroyed. You naturally don't know that half of the government and the public were implicated back then."

"The nine clans of the Gu family, can you imagine how many people there are?"

"How many people knelt at the execution ground in the western suburbs, and how many heads were chopped off?"

"Do you know how much blood flowed down the mountain, how many mountains and forests were stained, and how many people were affected?"

"If you really care about the lives of the people, you should listen to me and stop."

As Jiang Qingwu listened to Yan Xiujin's words, his face gradually turned pale. He was thinking anxiously, and the scene from his dream suddenly emerged in his mind.

The kneeling person and the severed head at the execution ground in the western suburbs, were they the place she had dreamed of?

Jiang Qingwu was frightened and staggered, holding onto the stone table in front of him.

"Empress...Empress Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Yan Xiu Jin came forward, turned around and was about to call for help, but Jiang Qing Wu suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
