Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Isn't he in a wheelchair?

Why is there so much dust on the soles of these shoes?

These shoes, with jade brocade uppers and shallow soft soles, are usually worn in the bedroom or when resting.

Shoes for indoor use...

Jiang Qingwu's head was buzzing and he was in a trance when he heard Yan Xiuchen's shouting from a distance.

"So I'm in love..."

"Oh, here we come..."

Jiang Qingwu reacted and quickly put his shoes back.

When they came out, the guards and Nanny Zhong had all left, leaving only Jiuhan.

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly spoke first.

"If everything is alright, I'll leave...I'll go back to find my brother."

After saying that, Jiang Qingwu climbed out from the rear window with ease.

"She...what's wrong?"

Yan Xiuchen looked at the disappearing Jiang Qingwu in astonishment, then turned to look at Jiuhan.

"Send a letter to Prince Pingqing, telling him that Jiang Qingbai has set out and asking him to pick him up."

"Yes, godfather."

……

The next day, just after five o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Qingbai took his confidant Luo Qing and two personal guards and quietly left the Marquis' Mansion.

Jiang Qingwu, wearing a black cloak, and Wanyue accompanied Jiang Qingbai to the city gate.

The gatekeeper was dozing off, but when he saw the fast horses, he suddenly woke up and quickly stepped forward to stop them.

"Who's leaving town so early?"

Jiang Qingbai glanced at him coldly and showed the token of the peace envoy. "It's important for the court. Get out of the way."

"Yes." The two guards immediately knelt down and agreed, and opened the city gate.

At the city gate, Jiang Qingbai looked at the deserted street behind him and gestured to Jiang Qingwu.

"Go back soon. I'm not in the capital. If you have any concerns, please write to me immediately."

"Don't worry, big brother, it's okay. The regent is here, and my second brother will return to the capital soon. Don't worry."

Jiang Qingwu originally wanted to comfort Jiang Qingbai, but after saying this, Jiang Qingbai's face looked even more worried.

"It's the Regent, your second brother, that I'm worried about."

Jiang Qingbai moved closer to Jiang Qingwu and lowered his voice.

"Brother, I still don't understand why the regent king suddenly loves you so much and wants to marry you."

"I'm worried there's something else going on."

"And your second brother, he acts impulsively and is always fearless. I'm worried that he will cause trouble, and I'm also afraid that the Shen family will harm him."

Jiang Qingwu's eyes were fixed on Jiang Qingbai, and he felt heavy in his heart.

Thinking back to her previous life, when Jiang Qingbai died tragically, she accepted the mission as a peace envoy, held a funeral, and sent Jiang Qingbai off before leaving Beijing.

"Brother, don't worry. I am no longer the Jiang Qingwu of the past. I will take good care of my family and everyone in the Jiang family."

"You must remember that I... saved your life. Your life belongs to me. You must take good care of yourself."

"Also, did you remember what I told you about what happened during the peace talks and how to deal with it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingbai sneered and nodded disapprovingly.

"I've got it, but you're not a fortune teller. How do you know what will happen during the peace talks?"

"Don't worry about it. Just listen to me. You must listen to me."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Jiang Qingbai smiled, still looking somewhat indifferent.

Jiang Qingwu felt uneasy, but when she was about to say something, Jiang Qingbai gave her a reassurance.

"Well, if you believe in the Regent, you should trust me."

"I am with Prince Pingqing, so I will not be in danger."

Jiang Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Jiang Qingbai.

……

The next day.

Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Qingwu held an engagement banquet and received an imperial decree to enter the Marquis' Mansion.

The Shen family's funeral procession for Shen Zhuoran was marching down the long street, and the cries of grief were deafening.

"My son... woo woo..."

Jiang Qingwu sat in front of Zhuang Youwen's storytelling stall, staring at the long line, listening to the mournful cries, and felt deeply moved.

She seemed to be able to see herself sobbing quietly in front of the coffin, with her red and swollen eyes.

"Miss, it's so unlucky. Today, the emperor has issued an edict to hold an engagement banquet for you and His Highness."

"It's nothing bad, I just want to take a look..."

“Remember the difference between losing and winning.”

Jiang Qingwu murmured in a trance, then put down the teacup in his hand with a snap.

"Master, do you have any instructions for me recently? I'm busy..." Zhuang asked again while pouring tea for Jiang Qingwu and rubbing his fingers with a smile.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, curled his lips into a smile, and then threw ten taels of silver over.

"Take it first. I do have something for you to do..."

"Hehe, okay."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu asked Zhuang again in a low voice, "There is a Gu residence in Furong Lane, not far from where you live."

"Please help me find out who the people in that mansion are from."

"If you find out, I'll give you another reward."

"This little one is good at it, no problem."

Jiang Qingwu smiled, but soon realized something was wrong.

When he turned around, he saw Shen Zhuoqi, dressed in mourning clothes, looking at him with a glare as sharp as a knife, and he had even left the funeral procession.

Jiang Qingwu saw that he was so vicious, as if he wanted to eat her, but she curled her lips and smiled, as if she was mocking his incompetence.

"Girl, it's Shen Zhuoqi."

"Yeah, he hates me and wants revenge on me. He even wants to kill me with a knife!"

"It's a pity that he doesn't have this ability."

In his previous life, Shen Zhuoqi was just a minor character. The Shen family was prominent and the eldest son had made great achievements. Later, Shen Zhuoran married the daughter of a wealthy family in the south as a backer.

There was no place for Shen Zhuoqi in the Shen family at all, and in the end, he was just a captain in the army.

No matter how much he hated her, he could only glare at her from afar. Jiang Qingwu didn't care.

However, this scene was seen clearly by Gu Yanbai and Yan Lin who were on the second floor of the restaurant not far away.

"I don't believe it. I still don't believe it. How could she be willing to marry Yan Xiuchen?"

"A cripple who is ten years older than her..."

Yan Lin looked at Jiang Qingwu with a gloomy and terrifying expression, and spoke in a low voice.

Gu Yanbai on the side sneered, glanced at Yan Lin with contempt, and sat down at the low table behind him.

"He is not disabled. His legs are already healed."

"Or rather, it has never been that serious..."

"Moreover, Jiang Qingwu is not only willing to marry Yan Xiuchen, but also deeply in love with him."

"you were fooled."

Yan Lin's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed over, "What did you say, sir, can you say it again?"

Gu Yanbai calmly poured a glass of wine and looked up at Yan Lin, "I have done some research for you these days."

"Yan Xiuchen's leg injury is fake."

"Jiang Qingwu is only dealing with you to find the antidote for Yan Xiuchen's heart-eating poison."

Yan Lin looked at Gu Yanbai in disbelief and fell into a low chair in a daze.

"No, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. This is impossible... She has always been in love with me."

"She was so devoted to me, and even allowed me to take a concubine into the mansion. How could she be so devoted to Shen Wanrong..."

Gu Yanbai sighed softly, chuckled thoughtfully, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try, and you will know what Jiang Qingwu feels for you."

Yan Lin frowned and looked at Gu Yanbai hesitantly, "...How to try? When to try?"

Gu Yanbai smiled faintly, stood up and looked at Jiang Qingwu in the distance.

"How about tomorrow, I'll try it with the thing she... wants most."
