Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen
Chapter 5: Kill me or not? If not, I will leave.
With a roar, everyone knew that Jiang Qingwu was jealous and still angry, so he knocked on the door.
Jiang Qingwu shouted while whispering to Wanyue and Luo Ming, "I will be in charge of smashing it, and you will be in charge of finding the antidote. Remember, it's in the study."
"It's a girl..."
As he was speaking, Jiang Qingwu rushed into the house, waving his sword around and smashing things.
"I love you wholeheartedly, but you treat me like this... Yan Lin, someone come, smash it for me..."
At Jiang Qingwu's command, the guards behind him rushed into each house and started smashing and turning things over.
"Miss Jiang, please calm down. The Third Prince has been punished to go to the Imperial Mausoleum."
The housekeeper came over with four or five concubines and maids, trying to stop Jiang Qingwu while dodging in fear.
"Yes, yes, Miss Jiang, calm down..."
"Get out of here, you vixens. I am the daughter of the Shunqing Marquisate. If anyone dares to stop me, I will chop you to pieces..."
Jiang Qingwu cursed angrily with a look of grievance, then turned and rushed into Yan Lin's study.
"Yan Lin, if you have the guts to do it, don't be a coward..."
Wanyue and Luo Ming, along with other bodyguards, quickly followed into the study.
Some people were outside blocking the housekeeper and those women, while others were concentrating on smashing things.
Jiang Qingwu was responsible for attracting gazes and attention, and secretly winked at Wanyue and Luo Ming.
"Girl, you...when did you become so aggressive? You acted so realistically..."
"Stop talking nonsense and find something quickly."
Jiang Qingwu shouted softly, then rushed towards the visible position of the door with a knife in hand, smashing things randomly.
Under cover, the two of them quickly searched for the antidote that Jiang Qingwu had mentioned.
"You bastard, Yan Lin, you are such a heartless man..."
Jiang Qingwu's shouts echoed throughout the mansion and were heard carefully by the man in black on the roof.
She was dressed in a black corseted brocade gown and a black veil covering her face, hiding in the pitch-black night until she saw Luo Ming taking out an exquisite little box from the secret compartment of the bookshelf.
His eyes lit up, and he jumped off the roof and broke into the room through the back window.
Before anyone could react, the man in black snatched the box from Luo Ming's hand and quickly escaped through the back window.
Antidote?!
Jiang Qingwu was anxious for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him. He shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone come, Butler Zhou, the assassin..."
Steward Zhou was in a trance when he also saw a black shadow flash by. Seeing Jiang Qingwu and the others chasing after it, he immediately summoned the guards in the mansion.
This was exactly what Jiang Qingwu wanted. She also wanted to use Yan Lin's manpower to stop the other party and take back the antidote.
"Hurry, hurry, there..." Jiang Qingwu shouted at the guards in the mansion with a knife in his hand.
Seeing this, everyone gathered around.
The man in black escaped from his entrapment, stuffed the small box into his arms, and started fighting with the guards in the mansion.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu took advantage of the opportunity, turned sideways during the fight, took the box from his arms, and quickly stuffed it into his robe.
By the time the butler and the others caught up, Jiang Qingwu had already succeeded and quietly withdrew from the fight.
The man in black also took the opportunity to jump onto the roof and disappeared into the night.
"Are you okay, Miss Jiang..." the housekeeper asked breathlessly.
Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted coldly.
"Humph, if it weren't for the fact that the engagement has not been cancelled yet, I wouldn't help him catch the assassin."
"Tell that unfaithful man that I don't want to get married anymore and I want to cancel the engagement."
Jiang Qingwu yelled and cursed, then walked away in anger.
After coming out of the Third Prince's Mansion, Jiang Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took out the small box in his arms.
Looking at the three pills in the small box, he couldn't help but smile.
"Girl, is this it?"
"It should be. Let's go back first."
Jiang Qingwu walked while talking, but just as she put the small box into her arms, a knife suddenly appeared from the corner and fell on her neck.
"Girl..." Wanyue and the others panicked and quickly drew their swords.
Seeing this, the man moved the knife in his hand towards Jiang Qingwu's neck. The blade was sharp and quickly left a trail of blood.
Looking at the wound, the man was shocked and subconsciously retracted the blade.
"Don't, don't hurt our young lady. Who are you? Our young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Shunqing Marquisate..."
The man in black ignored Luo Ming and reached out to Jiang Qingwu.
Jiang Qingwu naturally knew what he wanted, but how could she hand it over?
"No matter who you are, if you want that thing, you're just dreaming..."
Hearing this, the man in black tightened his grip on the knife handle and said, "Give me the thing, or... I will kill you."
"If you don't give it to me, you can kill me if you have the guts." Jiang Qingwu stared at the other person, wanting to see clearly who the other person was.
But the man was hiding in the shadows in the dark corner, so it was hard to see his face or even his shape.
"She was jealous and destroyed her fiancé's house. The daughter of Shunqing Marquis's mansion turned out to be a jealous shrew..."
"It's none of your business. Either kill me or get out of the way..."
Jiang Qingwu scolded in a low voice, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and he secretly clenched the knife in his hand.
"Okay, then I will kill you and the third prince, and then bury you together to fulfill your wish."
Jiang Qingwu frowned as he listened to the man's words, and suddenly there was a shout of anger.
"You are sick. If someone wants to be buried with him, you can kill him if you want. Why are you responsible for digging a grave and burying the body? What kind of hobby do you have..."
"Are you going to kill me or not? If not, I'm leaving..." Jiang Qingwu shouted, raised his hand to knock away the man's knife, and strode away.
The man was a little stunned, and Wanyue and Luo Ming were also dumbfounded.
"You... won't catch me?"
"Why would I arrest you? Are you a wanted criminal? Can you exchange it for money?"
Jiang Qingwu rolled his eyes and shouted at Wanyue and the others impatiently.
"Let's go, don't waste time talking to him, I'm in a hurry to go to the palace."
"Oh, yes... yes..." Seeing this, Wanyue and Luo Ming hurriedly led their people to follow Jiang Qingwu.
In the carriage, Jiang Qingwu held the small box and stared at the three pills with shining eyes.
Then he remembered the man in black who had snatched the box from him.
It was obvious that the man was coming for the box.
But why does he want this box? This box contains the antidote to the heart-eating poison.
Could it be that this person is Yan Xiuchen's man?
Or was it just a coincidence, and they stole it by mistake thinking the box was some treasure?
The carriage creaked through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped outside the south wall of the Regent's Palace.
When Jiang Qingwu got off the carriage, she had already changed into the same simple dark dress that Wanyue was wearing.
"Girl, are you serious? You haven't canceled the engagement yet?" Wan Yue reminded with a worried look on her face.
But Jiang Qingwu ignored her and turned around to call Luo Ming.
"Luo Ming, go do one more thing."
"Girl, tell me."
"Go and spread some news, spend more money, and in addition to our own people, hire some storytellers, opera singers, and beggars."
"Just say that the daughter of Shunqing Marquis's mansion smashed the Third Prince's mansion and couldn't bear the humiliation, so she wants to cancel the engagement."
"If this marriage cannot be annulled, it means that the royal family is using the imperial power to oppress and bully meritorious officials."
Luo Ming bowed his head slightly and saluted, "Yes, I understand."
"Also, you two, don't tell my brother that I'm here."
Jiang Qingwu pointed at Wanyue and warned her, then jumped lightly and climbed over the wall to get in.
She had only been to the palace once or twice before, and both times were for military business, and she had only walked through the main gate.
Now that she had climbed over the wall, she was completely confused as to where she was and where Yan Xiuchen was.
"Is this palace so big? Why is there not even one person here? It's like a cold palace."
"I want to kidnap someone to ask, but I don't have the chance..."
Jiang Qingwu was cautious at first and shrank his body, but after walking through two courtyards and not seeing anyone, he gradually became bolder.
As he was mumbling, he suddenly saw two maids carrying trays.
"Your Highness ordered a midnight snack. Let's go quickly..."
Jiang Qingwu watched the two people walk away, and couldn't help but feel happy, "Your Highness's midnight snack? Just follow you."
Having said that, Jiang Qingwu followed quietly.
