Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xiuchen's heart tightened slightly, his expression complicated, and he looked at Jiang Qingwu with some surprise.

"How do you know that I suspect her?"

"Besides, who told you that a husband and wife who have been together for a day will be grateful to each other for a hundred days?"

Jiang Qingwu sneered, leaned against the stone railing by the lake, and held his knife in both hands.

"The entire palace is full of patrol teams, but Qingfeng Pavilion has none."

"Isn't it strange?"

"Even if Xu Qingran called for help, the ones who came should be the patrolling guards. How could it be you and Beiyuan's personal guards?"

"Your Beiyuan is so far away, but it came so quickly."

"He must have known something before I arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion, so he rushed here."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen secretly raised the corners of his lips and fiddled with the golden bronze fan in his hand.

"What if... I was originally going to Qingfeng Pavilion to look for Xu Qingran?"

"Heh..." Jiang Qingwu rolled his eyes and sneered, "You? Come on, when I sneaked into the room just now."

"Xu Qingran didn't know it was me, and he called me Master right away, and also said..."

"Yan Xiuchen is already asleep, you don't have to be so careful."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu raised a mocking smile and walked towards Yan Xiuchen.

"This woman eats your food and drinks your drinks."

"She keeps saying that she wants to be your concubine, but she's secretly cheating on you."

"You, the regent, will also be cuckolded one day."

"But I don't understand, since Xu Qingran is involved with another man, why would she come to you?"

"Are you sure that you can't let go of your old feelings for her, so you risk your life and have some ulterior motive?"

Yan Xiuchen tilted his head slightly, with a half-smile on his face, and looked at her steadily.

"I don't know what Xu Qingran said to you when he went to the Marquis' Mansion today."

"But what she said is definitely not what I want to tell you."

Jiang Qingwu noticed Yan Xiuchen was staring at her and quickly looked away.

"Do you want to know what she said?"

"She said that you mistook her for me, and that although I got you, I didn't get your heart..."

Yan Xiuchen's brows tightened. He thought Xu Qingran would expose his leg injury and poisoning to Jiang Qingwu, but he didn't expect him to play such a trick.

Yan Xiuchen was still in a daze, but Jiang Qingwu spoke again.

"I've thought about it carefully, when we fought in Xiling and returned to Beijing in triumph."

"Yan Lin and I are not walking the same way as you."

"The Wang army you are leading should go to Wencheng."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu's eyes showed some self-blame and guilt, and his previous anger and toughness disappeared in an instant.

"The Xu family has been practicing medicine and selling medicine for generations. I think that when you returned to Beijing, your injuries were too severe to heal, so you had no choice but to stay at the Xu family for medical treatment."

"The Xu family saved your life and treated your injuries."

"If I hadn't discovered today that she might have gone to Baihua Tower and had something to do with the Shen family."

"Don't even mention the position of concubine. I can even give her the position of concubine."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu quietly, feeling mixed emotions as he listened to these words.

He didn't explain or mention the whole story because he didn't want to see Jiang Qingwu like this.

He didn't want Jiang Qingwu to be with him with a feeling of self-blame, guilt, and gratitude.

"She lied to you." Yan Xiuchen stared at Jiang Qingwu and murmured in a low voice.

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly and looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, "Is my guess wrong?"

"You... guessed right, but what she said is not true."

"Jiuhan..." Yan Xiuchen called out, and Jiuhan immediately stepped forward and handed over the letter that had been prepared long ago.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the envelope and handed the letter to Jiang Qingwu.

"This letter was written to me by her father, and it is also the reason why I want to keep her in the palace."

"It's not what you think, the promise of growing old together, the position of concubine."

[Your Highness, my daughter has come to Beijing to check accounts. She has no one to rely on in Beijing and feels uneasy. Please take her in and take care of her. Thank you very much. Xu Jingsheng kneels to greet you. 】

Jiang Qingwu read the contents of the letter in a low voice, and suddenly understood what happened that day by the Beiyuan Lake.

The reason why Yan Xiuchen asked Tang Zhi to arrange for her to live in Qingfeng Pavilion.

"Going to Beijing to check the accounts? Did you know that she knows martial arts and is related to the Shen family?"

Jiang Qingwu handed the letter in his hand to Jiuhan and questioned Yan Xiuchen.

Obviously, Yan Xiuchen didn't know, and asked with some confusion on his face, "Why is it related to the Shen family... Baihua Tower?"

"you know?"

Jiu Han heard the voice and interrupted, "Since Xu Qingran appeared, Godfather has been sending people to keep an eye on her."

"I know she went to the Marquis' Mansion, and I also know she went to Baihua Tower."

Jiang Qingwu chuckled and felt more confident.

"I wasn't sure she went to Baihua Tower at first, because the back door of Baihua Tower was locked in the alley where I followed her."

"Only those who know martial arts can enter that courtyard wall."

Yan Xiuchen suddenly understood something, looked at Jiang Qingwu holding the knife in his hand, and smiled.

"So, you came to test her martial arts in the middle of the night?"

"That's right. Although she reacted in time and didn't fight me, she didn't know martial arts and definitely couldn't dodge my knife."

Jiuhan stood aside and walked forward with a puzzled look on his face.

“Miss, even if she went to Baihua Tower, why is she related to the Shen family?”

"The Queen sent me a secret letter informing me that Shen Wanrong is not dead and is hiding in Baihua Tower."

"I've asked Luo Ming to check. Although Shen Wanrong wasn't found, the Queen wouldn't send me a letter like this for no reason."

"Shen Wanrong is in Baihua Tower, and Xu Qingran is also in Baihua Tower."

"And Xu Qingran has a lover. I suspect that someone from the Shen family is instigating her, or it wouldn't be surprising if they bribed the Xu family."

Jiang Qingwu was thinking thoughtfully and suddenly stopped while pacing.

"She is your savior. If you do anything to her, she might find fault with you."

"I'm not like that. She stole my husband, so whatever I do is reasonable and logical."

Yan Xiuchen felt something was wrong after hearing this and looked at Jiang Qingwu in surprise.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about her. I have already asked the Queen Mother to arrange for her to leave the palace."

As soon as Yan Xiuchen finished speaking, Jiang Qingwu suddenly came over and asked, "Queen Mother?"

"Leave the palace? Then how can you ambush and catch the adulterer, and how can you find out who is behind it?"

"I'll go interrogate her." Jiang Qingwu said thoughtfully and firmly, and then added another sentence.

"I know her weakness. I will negotiate with her."

"What did you say?" Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief.

Jiang Qingwu also came back to his senses, "Why, you don't want to let go?"

"Don't be so sentimental, okay? Even if you have had an affair with someone and want to rekindle the relationship, she won't look down on you."

"I have a lover."

"Besides, she approached you like this for a purpose."

"If she is from the Shen family, then she is Yan Lin's person. If she is Yan Lin's person, then she is the one who wants your life."

"Sex is like a knife hanging over your head. You better wake up."

Jiang Qingwu pointed at Yan Xiuchen's eloquent lecture, then turned around, picked up the knife, and grabbed Jiuhan.

"Come on, follow me and do me a small favor."

Yan Xiuchen stared at Jiang Qingwu in astonishment. He was so stunned by the scolding that it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"...When did this prince have an affair with her...Gu Qing, please stop messing around..."
