Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen
Chapter 460: The Old Imperial Edict at the Mass Grave
When Jiang Ruhai heard Jiang Qingwu ask this, his face suddenly changed. He became angry instantly and slammed the table.
"Shut up."
"How dare you say these words out loud?"
Jiang Qingwu chuckled, as if he had guessed something, "It's not me who dares to say it, it's someone who dares to do it."
"If my father won't tell me, I will go find the left prime minister."
"Don't think I don't know that Yan Xiuchen has already won over you, the left prime minister, and Cheng Xiang, and secretly mobilized troops near the capital."
Jiang Qingwu said this, turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruhai hurriedly called out to Jiang Qingwu, "Stop, stop making trouble. Things are not peaceful now, don't do anything rash."
Jiang Qingwu ignored Jiang Qingwu and strode out of the inner courtyard. However, as soon as he arrived at the front courtyard, he saw someone delivering a message from the palace, and Jiuhan was also hurrying towards him.
"Godmother... the young master is missing, and everyone who followed him has been thrown away. Now no one knows where he is?"
"Gone...he will go..." Jiang Qingwu murmured, suddenly remembered something, turned around and went back.
"Father……"
"Father, do you know where the people from the Gu and Lu families were buried?"
Jiang Ruhai looked at Jiang Qingwu in astonishment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Honggang Mountain."
"Honggang Mountain..."
"Jiuhan, notify Chihongwei immediately, go to Honggang Mountain, and protect him secretly. Don't alarm him."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Seeing Jiang Qingwu was about to leave, Jiang Ruhai hurriedly stopped her and said, "The capital seems calm now, but it is actually turbulent. Tell father, besides Prince Suqing, is there anyone else..."
Jiang Qingwu looked around, hesitated for a moment, and leaned over to Jiang Ruhai's ear and whispered, "Yan Chong is not dead."
As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly and bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwu.
"Take care, father. If anything happens, notify me by fire. You will see me at the palace gate."
……
Honggang Mountain was originally a mass grave. It was far away from the official road and the capital. It was not difficult to find, but it was very remote.
Jiang Qingwu went there in a carriage, firstly because he was injured, and secondly because he thought that Chi Hongwei had already arrived, so he was not in a hurry.
But what he didn't expect was that when Jiang Qingwu found the mass grave where the Gu family was buried on Honggang Mountain, he saw the corpses of the Red Guards all over the ground.
Jiang Qingwu was startled and jumped down from the carriage, "Gu Yanbai...Gu Yanbai..."
"Go, look around..." Jiuhan shouted to the few bodyguards who were accompanying him.
But apart from the startled birds flying by in the forest, everything was silent.
Jiang Qingwu looked at the grave mound in the main film and vaguely sensed something, "This is..."
"These tombstones and graves are so neatly arranged. Someone must have specially placed the Gu family members there..."
"Yes, godfather..." Jiuhan echoed, and came towards Jiang Qingwu, bowing and saying, "All the Red Guards were killed. The murder methods were different, and it should be the hands of multiple people, and the other party used swords."
"It was done by many people, many against many. Either the other side had overwhelming numbers, or their martial arts were all superior to those of the Scarlet Guards."
Jiang Qingwu murmured, then reacted, "You just said that it was Yan Xiuchen who placed the Gu family members?"
"Yes, my godfather asked me to bring people to repair these graves and erect monuments. But I didn't know at the time that these were people from the Gu family."
Jiang Qingwu nodded absentmindedly and looked around. Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, an old eunuch suddenly walked over from a distant path.
He was wearing eunuch's clothes, holding a whisk in one hand and an imperial edict in the other, which was bright yellow and particularly eye-catching.
He walked a little unsteadily, but his steps were steady.
The other guards were puzzled when they saw the eunuch approaching.
They were all personal guards of Shangyang Palace, and had been close to Yan Xiuchen for many years. They looked at each other and indeed did not recognize him.
But even though they were holding the imperial edict, they did not dare to step forward and all made way.
Only Jiuhan realized that something was wrong and drew his sword to rush forward.
"Wait." Jiang Qingwu held Jiuhan, looked at the old eunuch who was gradually approaching, and took a deep breath.
"When two armies go to war, no envoys will be killed." Jiang Qingwu murmured and slowly took two steps forward.
"I am the Queen of Dayan. The eunuch is looking for me..."
"Old slave, Qin Feng pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen..." He introduced himself as Qin Feng, and then knelt down towards Jiang Qingwu somewhat unsteadily.
But when this name entered his ears, Jiang Qingwu's memories vaguely emerged.
Qin Feng was the eunuch who followed the late emperor into Xifeng Palace, and was also the person who always followed the emperor afterwards.
"Qin Feng? I haven't seen you for many years. Your demeanor is still the same as before."
"Thank you for your concern, madam."
"I have been ordered to give Her Majesty a secret decree. My master has instructed that there is no need to announce the decree. Her Majesty can receive it in person."
Qin Feng was calm and after he finished speaking, he raised the imperial edict in his hands with both hands.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and bowed slightly, "Jiang Qingwu... accept the order."
Although he performed the ceremony, it was only perfunctory. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qingwu grabbed the imperial edict.
Although it was an imperial edict, the content was not written according to regulations and only contained a short sentence.
"Ten years of old troubles have not been resolved, and life and death are uneasy. A hundred years have passed and the past is over."
"The evil creatures are waiting for you under my sword."
Jiang Qingwu looked at the words on the imperial edict and looked at Qin Feng, "Where is your master? He must want to see me."
"The master said that the queen will definitely be able to find it herself. If the queen hasn't shown up by midnight tonight, Master Gu's life will be in danger."
"Okay, tell your master that I will be there." Jiang Qingwu said confidently and handed the imperial edict to Wanyue.
Qin Feng stood up slowly and left.
Seeing the people walking away, Jiuhan hurriedly approached Jiang Qingwu, "Godmother, do you want to notify godfather immediately, and..."
"Do you know where the young master is?"
"Not hard to guess." Jiang Qingwu murmured and waved to the guards not far away.
"My lady..."
Jiang Qingwu handed the imperial edict in Wanyue's hand to him and walked closer to him. "Return to the palace immediately and personally hand this imperial edict to His Majesty."
"Tell him... just tell him to be careful to purge the king and the court. I will rescue Gu Yanbai safely."
"Yes, I obey."
The subordinate took the imperial edict and rode away, and Jiang Qingwu also reacted, "Wanyue, do you still have the prescription with you?"
"Carry it with you. Always carry it with you."
"Let's go to the bookstore."
……
In a bookstore in the city, Jiang Qingwu handed the prescription to the bookstore owner.
"I have fifty taels of gold here. I need you to copy a thousand copies of this prescription within half a day. Can you do it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. If you have money, you can. Don't worry, girl. I will give it to you before dark."
Jiang Qingwu raised the corner of his lips slightly and handed over the gold.
"Miss, isn't this prescription... very important? Why did you copy thousands of copies..." Wan Yue looked at Jiang Qingwu with confusion.
Jiang Qingwu sighed softly, sat down steadily at the table, and poured a cup of tea. "Such a good recipe must be known to everyone..."
