Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

"enemy?"

The queen sneered and slid the tip of the sword closer to Jiang Qingwu.

"How do you know who my enemy is?"

Jiang Qingwu's body trembled slightly and he dared not move anymore.

The sword's edge was so sharp that if she wasn't careful, she would bleed profusely.

"I was not sure before, but I know today."

Jiang Qingwu whispered cautiously, looking up at the queen.

In the dim room, a sharp light could be faintly seen in the queen's eyes.

Hearing Jiang Qingwu say this, he walked forward slowly and moved the sword in his hand slightly.

"Tell me about it. I want to hear it."

"Yes, today, I suddenly broke in here, and it was Concubine Shen who harmed me."

"They even dared to drag the Second Prince down with them."

"I was tricked outside the Buddhist temple and smelled the smell of alcohol and the strange fragrance of the Seven Emotions Pills. That's when I became defensive."

"The Second Prince drank alcohol and was poisoned by the Seven Emotions Pill, which is why he went mad and lost consciousness."

"If it weren't for my quick reaction, they would have caught the Second Prince and me in bed together."

"If this is true, not only will I be ashamed to live, but the regent will also lose face."

"And by then, guess whether His Majesty will let the Second Prince go."

"Will the Prince Regent...let the Second Prince go?"

The calmness on the queen's face gradually turned gloomy and full of coldness, and finally she brought her sword closer in anger.

"Is what you say true?"

"My life is on this matter, how dare I speak nonsense?"

"Don't you want to think about why so many people outside rushed in and headed straight for the temple?"

Jiang Qingwu also became anxious. He suddenly stood up, ignoring the sword around his neck.

"Noble Concubine Shen kills two birds with one stone."

"It is to get rid of the Second Prince and his servants and defeat the Regent."

"You know better than I what she is planning."

"The Second Prince has a bad reputation and is not among the candidates for the throne, but she won't let him go."

"Do you really think that if you retreat to this small place, you can save yourself and the Second Prince?"

"If the Queen can join hands with this minister and the Regent, at least you and the Second Prince can be guaranteed a life of wealth and peace."

Although the queen kept her door closed and ignored worldly affairs, she was well aware of the current situation in the court.

After pondering for a moment, he threw the sword back into the scabbard on the wall.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingwu suddenly remembered something.

The queen was once the daughter of a general, and she fought on the battlefield for the rule of Dayan.

But because she was betrothed to the emperor, she has fallen into ruin until now.

Although not as miserable as my previous life, it is not much better either.

"You mean, you can tell the Regent to protect us mother and son and join forces to deal with the Shen family?"

When Jiang Qingwu heard the queen's words, his thoughts were suddenly pulled back.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, there is no need for me to speak..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the queen with a determined look and bowed, "As long as the queen stands beside me, the regent will help you."

…………

Backyard, outside the Buddhist temple.

When everyone saw Jiang Qingwu and the Queen standing side by side, they also saw the people brought out of the Buddhist hall.

Seeing the Second Prince and the palace maid in charge, everyone was shocked.

The second prince was disheveled, drowsy, and kept mumbling something.

The palace maid was only wrapped in a thin shirt and was sobbing quietly.

"It's the Second Prince... Isn't this nonsense?"

"Yeah, why is Jiang Qingwu with the Queen?"

"No matter what, that little eunuch deserves to be beaten to death for talking nonsense just now..."

Everyone said something to each other.

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu holding the Queen's arm, dressed in red, calm and unobstructed, and he vaguely understood something.

"This is impossible. How could it be... How could it be like this?" Concubine Shen was stunned and shocked, and turned to grab the emperor's arm.

"Your Majesty, this is too strange. Why is Jiang Qingwu here suddenly?"

"Today is her good day, why is she in the Queen's Palace?"

"That little eunuch said it so clearly, how could there be such a coincidence?"

Hearing Concubine Shen's repeated questions, the emperor was also confused, and then looked at Jiang Qingwu.

"Yeah, what's wrong with you? Jiang Qingwu, why are you here if you're not going to the table to meet the guests?"

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu immediately let go of the queen, took a few steps forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, it is an honor for me to be able to enter the palace to hold the engagement banquet."

"Her Majesty is the master of the six palaces, so naturally I have to come and pay my respects."

"I was just chatting happily with the Queen in the main hall in the front yard and forgot the time."

"As for other matters...I am not aware of them."

"You're talking nonsense, it's obviously you and the Second Prince..." Concubine Shen pointed at Jiang Qingwu and scolded.

But before she could finish her words, the Queen interrupted Concubine Shen and said, "Concubine, please be careful with your words."

"Miss Jiang is knowledgeable and polite, and she still remembers that I am the master of the Six Palaces, so she came to pay her respects and inform me of the wedding banquet."

"As for the matter between Yan Nan and Lu Tao... I'm afraid your majesty and the imperial concubine don't know about it yet."

"Lu Tao is considerate and gentle. I have already assigned Lu Tao to Yan Nan as his concubine."

"It's just that I'm used to Lu Tao serving me all the time, so I kept her in the palace and didn't let her go out."

"Who would have thought that these two people would be so bold as to come to my palace's Buddhist temple."

As she spoke, the queen bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have failed to teach my son well. Please punish me."

It is known to everyone that the Queen and the Second Prince are being neglected.

It is also known to everyone that the second prince is dissolute, lustful and fond of wine.

Now, there is nothing wrong with this argument.

Just treating it as a farce, while everyone was sighing, Xiao Liuzi walked towards Yan Xiuchen from the crowd behind him and leaned close to his ear.

Yan Xiuchen listened, secretly raised the corners of his lips, leaned lightly on the back of the chair, and calmly waved the golden bronze fan.

"It's ridiculous. It even prevented the Regent's wedding banquet from being held properly."

Having said that, the emperor walked towards Yan Xiuchen.

"Royal brother, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen looked at the emperor in surprise and sneered.

"Brother Emperor, I have heard that several ministers in the court have accused me of overstepping my authority."

"This matter still needs your majesty to deal with it."

The emperor almost got anxious when he heard this, and leaned over to say, "They said what they said, but I never took it seriously."

"You can't just listen to their nagging and then ignore me."

Yan Xiuchen secretly raised the corners of his lips and looked up at the emperor, "What are you talking about, my brother? How can I ignore you, my brother?"

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Today's incident is neither big nor small. I don't know how to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shen immediately stepped forward and agreed, "Yes, the Second Prince acted like this and caused important ministers to riot. He must be punished."

"And the queen... has no way of educating her son. Even on such a happy occasion as today, she actually allowed the second prince to act unruly."

"... and should be punished."

When the Queen heard what Concubine Shen said, her face suddenly darkened. Just as she was about to explain, Yan Xiuchen suddenly spoke.

"Yan Nan favors his concubine in his mother's palace... What's wrong with that?"

Concubine Shen blurted out, "But he disrupted the engagement banquet, which is a serious offense."

Yan Xiuchen smiled contemptuously and looked up at Concubine Shen, "Yes, who said that he saw Jiang Qingwu here."

"Who... persuaded His Majesty to come here?"

"You..." Concubine Shen opened her mouth and was instantly speechless.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen's face darkened and he raised his hand behind him and said nonchalantly, "Bring the person up."
