Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When Jiang Qingwu and Yan Xiuchen returned to Shangyang Palace, they went straight to Gu Yanbai's Changle Palace.

The palace maid guarding Changle Palace was just coming out of Gu Yanbai's room.

"Your Majesty, Madam..."

"Where is the young master, is he here?"

"Yes, the young master just came back not long ago. He said he was tired..." Jiang Qingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out on his own.

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai's room and followed Jiang Qingwu without saying anything.

"You want to check?"

"I already know what I shouldn't know, so there's no reason to hide what I should know."

"I can tell you."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly stopped when he heard that, and turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, "Are you willing to tell me?"

"At this point, there's nothing to hide. Just... don't tell Aze."

Yan Xiuchen wanted to say it, but it was conditional.

If everything Jiang Qingwu guessed was correct, then it would be of no benefit to him whether he told Gu Yanbai or not.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen steadily, and after a moment of silence, he chuckled.

"You don't need to tell me, and I won't accept your conditions."

Jiang Qingwu said this and walked towards the promenade on Bilan Lake.

Yan Xiuchen saw that she wanted to go back to Fengxiang Palace, and took a few quick steps, "You should understand that I had no choice in many things."

"I understand. No one understands your difficulties and painstaking efforts better than me."

Jiang Qingwu didn't look back and even walked away resolutely.

"Now that I think about it, ever since I parted ways with Yan Lin and started walking with you, I knew that there were thousands of secrets between you and me."

"And the reason why I allowed you to keep the secret and not be honest with me is because of the cause in my previous life."

"I trust you and I value you."

"But now, I want justice for myself, for Gu Yanbai, and for you."

"I hope the person standing in front of me is not you."

Jiang Qingwu's words made Yan Xiuchen slow down his pace unconsciously. He looked at the person who was getting farther and farther away and gradually stopped where he was.

Jiang Qingwu hasn't changed at all.

Hate evil, do what you want, and make sure everything is clear.

The next morning, Jiang Qingwu brought snacks from the palace and returned to Shunqing Marquis' Mansion.

The marquis's mansion was much quieter, with fewer slaves and more soldiers and guards.

Jiang Qingwu took Jiuhan and Wanyue and went straight into the inner courtyard.

Jiang Qingbai and Jiang Ruhai were having breakfast and were also surprised to see Jiang Qingwu.

"Awu? It's Awu who's back."

Jiang Qingbai put down his bowl and chopsticks, and hurried over to greet her. Only when he got to her did he come to his senses, "…Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen…"

"Brother, get up quickly."

"Are you having breakfast? That's great. I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything else. The snacks made for breakfast in the palace are pretty good. I brought some out and we can eat together."

Jiang Qingwu walked towards the house while talking, but Jiang Ruhai seemed to be worried about something and bowed to Jiang Qingwu with an unpleasant look on his face.

"Meet the Queen..."

"Father, I am having breakfast with you today, so there is no need to follow these rules."

Jiang Qingwu signaled to Wanyue and Jiuhan, and then they put the cakes and soups in the food box basket on the table.

"Mother and the others are in the Regent's Palace. Everything is fine. Father went to court these two days and met Yan Xiuchen. He should know about it."

"I know." Jiang Ruhai gave the main seat to Jiang Qingwu.

But Jiang Qingwu still sat in the same seat where they had eaten together before.

"You all go down." Jiang Qingwu sent away the servants in the room, and then gestured slightly to Jiuhan and Wanyue.

Jiang Qingbai looked around and looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion, "Awu, is this...something wrong?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask my father something."

"Oh, I heard that you were sick these two days. Are you feeling better now?" Jiang Qingbai asked as he brought the prepared soup to Jiang Qingwu.

"It's nothing. Yan Xiuchen found an antidote and gave it to me. I got better after I took it."

Jiang Qingwu said as he handed the soup in front of him to Jiang Ruhai, "Father, the reason you refused to let me marry Yan Xiuchen that day was probably not just because of his relationship with Yan Lin, his crippled legs, and his high position and power."

Jiang Ruhai had an idea in his mind. This mansion no longer looked like a mansion. He had a rough idea of ​​what had happened.

Now that Jiang Qingwu asked him this and mentioned the antidote, he naturally understood everything.

“Yeah, it’s not just because of that.”

Jiang Ruhai sighed softly, looked at the bowl of soup in front of him, and said thoughtfully, "I originally didn't want you to be involved with the royal family anymore."

"Whether it's Yan Lin or Yan Xiuchen, I don't want to."

"But no matter who it is, it's your own idea."

"Yan Lin called off the engagement, and I was thinking of letting you go to the border to find your cousin...but I didn't expect..."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu stood up and bowed respectfully to Jiang Ruhai, "It is my daughter who has failed my father's good intentions."

"Awu, what are you doing?" Jiang Qingbai ran over and helped Jiang Qingwu up, but Jiang Ruhai had a serious look on his face and didn't say anything.

"Brother, please step aside for a moment. Father and I have something to discuss alone..."

Jiang Qingbai looked at Jiang Qingwu with a puzzled expression, then looked at Jiang Ruhai. Seeing that Jiang Ruhai said nothing, he nodded silently and turned away.

"Do you remember everything that happened back then?"

"Yes, after taking the antidote, I remembered everything."

"Although... the people of the Gu and Lu families died unjustly, this matter really shouldn't be mentioned again..."

"Only the Gu and Lu families? All the court officials and merchants who were on good terms with the two families were implicated."

"How many people have died today?"

"Father, I also regretted it before. I shouldn't have looked for the truth and shouldn't have thought about all that."

"But the truth is the truth, and justice is clear. Right and wrong should be made clear."

Jiang Ruhai chuckled and shook his head helplessly, "The emperor is above all else, there is no right or wrong."

"Now that you remember it, you should understand that no matter what we, your father and I, did in the Jiang family, we had no choice."

"Father, do you know that Gu Yanbai...he is the tenth prince back then, Yan Xiu Ze."

"I guessed it." Jiang Ruhai agreed, sighed and stood up, thinking, "So many innocent people died, but he survived."

“Maybe it’s really God’s will to reveal what happened back then and uncover the truth.”

"If he hadn't lived, he wouldn't have come to Dayan. If he hadn't come to Dayan, nothing would have happened after that."

Yes, if according to the trajectory of the previous life, Yan Xiuchen would have killed Gu Yanbai by mistake.

Then, neither King Suqing nor the late emperor nor these secrets exist anymore.

"Father, I came here today not to ask about the things I knew back then, but to ask about the things I don't know."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly spoke, stood up and walked towards Jiang Ruhai.

"I would like to ask my father to tell me what Lu Changqing said before he died: treason and regicide, killing his brother and taking his sister-in-law, and seizing my wife."

"What's going on?"
