Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu stood outside the cave and did not take any action, and all those people were captured.

There were about ten in total, four died, and six were left.

Fortunately, the person who is still alive looks like he is in charge.

The man who had taken the lead was already injured when he was brought in front of Jiang Qingwu, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Qingwu was still vicious and arrogant.

"You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you. I won't say a word."

Jiang Qingwu frowned and looked at him. "Your Fuye tribe has the most cruel torture methods. I also want to know if the people of Fuye are different from others and can withstand torture."

"Jiuhan, I leave the person to you. Make sure he spits out everything before dawn."

"Yes, you go back to the palace first, and leave these people to me."

……

Jiang Qingwu left the palace and went to the ghost market, but Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai in the palace knew nothing.

When Jiang Qingwu returned to the palace, the only person in Shangyang Palace was the drunk Yan Xiujin.

Looking around, even the clock was gone.

"Someone come here..." Jiang Qingwu shouted and strode out of the house.

"Greetings, Her Majesty." Several guards came forward and saluted.

"Where is your majesty, and where is the young master?"

"Your Highness, His Majesty and the Young Master have gone out. They said...they said they were going to Xifeng Palace. Commander Lu and Eunuch Zhong were accompanying them."

Jiang Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief, waved to a few people, and then walked straight out of Shangyang Palace.

Zhong Quan, Jiu Ye, and the personal guards were all guarding outside Xifeng Palace. The originally dark long street was now brighter and more lively.

The gate of Xifeng Palace was open, but the courtyard inside was pitch black.

Jiang Qingwu took a look from afar and heard no movement or sound, but he did not dare to go in rashly.

"Don't worry, there are imperial guards and personal guards guarding Xifeng Palace, no one will enter."

Jiu Ye said, moving closer to Jiang Qingwu and lowering his voice, "Young Master can't escape either."

Jiang Qingwu raised the corner of his lips when he heard the voice, nodded and said, "They must be in there, why are there no movements?"

"He was still talking drunkenly just now, but now he is really quiet. Maybe... he is all drunk?"

Seeing that Jiu Ye was also confused, Jiang Qingwu wanted to go in and take a look, but just as he reached the door, he faintly heard Gu Yanbai's voice.

"He usually looks majestic and domineering, but his alcohol tolerance is really poor." Gu Yanbai sat on the steps, looking at Yan Xiuchen who was drunk beside him, and shouted to the outside, "Zhong Quan, Qiu Xing..."

Hearing the voice, Zhong Quan hurriedly took the fur coat.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu silently took two steps back and lowered his voice, "Don't tell him, I'm here, you just serve me here, just let them do what they want."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhong Quan agreed, took the clothes and hurried in. After handing them to Gu Yanbai, he quietly walked out.

Gu Yanbai took the fur coat and put it on Yan Xiuchen, then he looked down at him and couldn't help but smile.

"I don't know if I'll have the chance to drink together again in the future."

"In the past, Gu Qing asked me many times whether we were brothers."

"I have never admitted it, but in my heart, you may be more important than my own brothers."

"She's right. I rely on you, worship you, believe in you, and am used to your protection. I'm used to protecting you."

"Suddenly one day, you no longer need me, and I can no longer go back to you, and it feels like I have lost everything."

Looking at the drunk Yan Xiuchen beside him, Gu Yanbai's eyes couldn't help but flush red, and his voice became very soft.

"Although everything that happened today was not caused by me, the suffering you endured... was all because of me."

……

Jiang Qingwu returned to Shangyang Palace, and neither of them came back the whole night.

Instead of waiting for the drunk Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai, he waited for Jiuhan who had returned from interrogating those people.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lu wants to see you..." Xiao Luzi shouted outside the dormitory.

Jiang Qingwu was sitting on the couch, dozing off with his head in his hands. When he heard Xiao Luzi's voice, he hurried out to greet her.

"Tell him to come in."

It was not yet fully light and the palace was very quiet.

Jiuhan was wearing the casual clothes from last night and bowed to Jiang Qingwu, "Godmother..."

"How is it?"

"Several people have confessed that they will sneak into the burial relocation team today with the goal of assassinating you and me. If godfather gets in the way, we will kill him as well."

Jiang Qingwu sneered in disbelief, "Absurd, can a few of them kill us?"

"Impossible." Jiang Qingwu said with certainty.

Jiu Han heard the voice and walked closer to Jiang Qingwu. "According to their explanation, I have sent people to Chongling and found gunpowder buried around the sacrificial hall."

"Gunpowder?" Jiang Qingwu suddenly stood up. "How could there be gunpowder? Gunpowder is a military supply and the entry and exit are strictly controlled. Where did they get it?"

As Jiang Qingwu was asking, he suddenly remembered something, "What did those two men in military uniforms confess? Who did they serve?"

Jiu Han's face was a little solemn, and he shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't... asked it yet."

"They both came from the military and were quite persistent..."

"It's not too late to continue the interrogation..." Jiang Qingwu muttered, thinking about something uncomfortably, "Fuye, Yan Su, we know each other well, but we don't have any clues about this mysterious general."

"In the past few days, Chongling has been preparing for the relocation of the burials. There are all kinds of people coming here, including Taoist temple masters, craftsmen, people from the Capital Criminal Department, people from the City Patrol, and people from the Capital Government Department."

"It's too easy to get in."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu suddenly remembered something and said, "You can ask clearly whether they have other people or other arrangements."

"According to their account, there are no more. There are not many people from Yan Su left. These are the ones who have received great favors and completed the tasks that Yan Su had instructed before his death."

"There are not many people from Fuye. We have been clearing them out before. They are the last group."

"As for the general's men, they refused to say anything. We also know that they have joined forces with Yan Su and Fuye's men. They are the vanguard, while the general's men are responsible for supporting and reinforcing the aftermath."

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and smiled bitterly, "It really is haunting. Fortunately, no matter who it is, today is the last time."

"Jiuhan, you must go to Chongling immediately and search Chongling inside and out, and count and check the people who have arrived."

"The memorial ceremony is at noon, there's still time."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Seeing Jiuhan leave, Jiang Qingwu gestured to Xiaoluzi who was not far behind him, "Let's go to Xifeng Palace."

"Yes, let's go to Xifeng Palace." Xiao Luzi shouted, and the palace servants who were accompanying him immediately came over.

Behind Jiang Qingwu was Xiao Luzi, and behind them were four palace maids, four eunuchs, and four imperial guards.

Such a large team would attract attention wherever it went, but when they turned the corner of the long street, they still heard the palace maids sweeping the yard and talking about them.

"Xifeng Palace? His Majesty and Master Gu? No way!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Emperors have always been romantic. Your Majesty only has one queen, so it's okay if he has other preferences."
