Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 85 Jiang Qingyu stands with Yan Xiuchen

The imperial mausoleum compound is very quiet.

Jiang Qingwu's shout was abrupt and harsh.

The shouting stopped only when Jiang Qingyu came out of the house.

"Second brother, are you injured?" Jiang Qingwu asked while looking at Jiang Qingyu's body.

"It's just a superficial wound. The imperial physician has checked it. It's nothing serious..."

Jiang Qingyu agreed and was about to say something when Yan Lin came out of the house holding Jiang Qingyu's sword.

She hadn't seen him for a long time since her last falling out with Yan Lin, but in just a few days, he had grown so well.

"Qingyu, your sword." Yan Lin handed the sword to Jiang Qingyu and took out the bloody token.

Jiang Qingwu frowned upon seeing this, "What is this?"

"The token of the Regent's Palace was found on the assassin. They wanted to kill me, but Yan Lin saved me."

Jiang Qingwu's brain raced, he sneered and looked at Yan Lin.

"Yan Lin, what tricks are you playing again?"

"I know you don't believe me, and I don't want to make you angry again. Your second brother's injuries are serious, so go back first."

"Qingyu, trust me and remember what I told you."

Yan Lin seemed like an upright gentleman and choked Jiang Qingwu back.

No matter what, Jiang Qingyu was fine, and Jiang Qingwu was too lazy to argue with him. He helped Jiang Qingyu quickly leave the villa.

As soon as the two men left, Shen Zhuoqi came out from the side yard.

"Why should we spare his life? Wouldn't it be the end of everything if we killed him?"

"They killed Shen Zhuoran, so it makes sense for me to take the life of a son of the Jiang family."

Yan Lin's face darkened when he heard the voice, and he shouted coldly, "What's the hurry?"

"Killing a third-rank general in broad daylight in the imperial mausoleum would cause a huge disturbance, you know."

"Besides, if Jiang Qingyu trusts me a little, he will definitely disrupt the marriage of Jiang Qingwu and Yan Xiuchen."

Seeing Shen Zhuoqi's angry face, Yan Lin smiled lightly and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I didn't hurt him."

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until the martial arts competition to win a bride, and then beat him to death in the ring with a legitimate reason?"

Shen Zhuoqi's eyes lit up, and he raised the corners of his lips slightly, "The Third Prince is right."

On the way back in the carriage, Jiang Qingwu carefully looked at the token in his hand, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of confusion.

Before anyone could say anything, Jiang Qingyu spoke up, "This token is fake."

"Ah?" Jiang Qingwu was suddenly startled, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Qingyu, his face full of surprise.

She guessed that Yan Lin would make up stories in front of Jiang Qingyu to deceive and confuse her.

But she didn't expect that Jiang Qingyu didn't believe Yan Lin.

"I came here today, and I still have a little trust in Yan Lin."

"At least, I don't think he is exactly what you said."

"But after what happened with the assassin, I do believe you."

Jiang Qingyu sighed heavily and smiled bitterly, "Our Jiang family has been completely wiped out."

"Including my eldest brother, you, me, and my father have all been deceived by the Shen family and Yan Lin."

"But it's really stupid."

Jiang Qingwu looked at her, Jiang Qingyu, in a daze, then looked down at the token in his hand.

"Second brother, how do you know that this token is fake?"

"I used to go to war with Yan Xiuchen. In order to make it easier for me to do things, he once gave me a token from the Prince Regent's Palace."

"The material and weight of this token are the same as the real thing, but the workmanship is a little rough."

"Yan Xiuchen's things are all made by skilled craftsmen employed by the emperor. How can ordinary people compare with them?"

As he spoke, Jiang Qingyu took the token from Jiang Qingwu and sneered.

"If this assassin was really sent by Yan Xiuchen, why would he bring a token with him?"

"Besides, he has plenty of time to get rid of me, so why would he be outside Yanlin Villa?"

"If it's true as Yan Lin said, Yan Xiuchen was afraid that I would meet Yan Lin, he could have just started when I first arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum."

"Why wait until I've seen everything before you take action?"

"Of course, more importantly, between you and Yan Lin, I trust you more."

Jiang Qingyu sighed secretly and threw the token in his hand casually on the small table in the carriage.

"But I don't understand why he did this?"

"Just to trick me into believing him?"

Jiang Qingwu seemed to be thinking about something, and looked up at Jiang Qingyu, "I can't figure it out for now."

"But provoking and tempting you is already a reason."

"If you really believe Yan Lin, you will become his pawn, his knife."

"A knife buried beside us."

Jiang Qingyu glanced at Jiang Qingwu, sighed softly and said, "But then again, Yan Lin has something in mind."

"What about Yan Xiuchen? I'm afraid he's the same as Yan Lin."

"As for the royal family, if they have any sincerity, you should not give them your whole heart..."

Coming around again.

From father, mother, to eldest brother and second brother, everyone has to be questioned.

Jiang Qingwu sighed helplessly and turned his chin away.

When Jiang Qingwu and the others returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Ruhai and his wife were pacing anxiously in the room.

When Jiang Ruhai saw Jiang Qingyu being helped in, his face turned pale instantly.

"What happened? Are you injured?"

"It's okay, father. I had a fight with some petty thieves in the imperial mausoleum."

"Imperial Tomb?!" When Jiang Ruhai heard the word "Imperial Tomb", his face immediately darkened and he sent his servants away.

Seeing that everyone had left, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly helped explain, "There's no movement at the imperial mausoleum. It won't alarm anyone."

"Who else do you want to alarm? The Regent, or His Majesty, the whole court, or the Queen Mother and the Royal Concubine."

"Last time Yan Lin was punished to the imperial mausoleum, some people in the court were already very dissatisfied."

"Now that our Jiang family has decided to stand on the side of the Regent, we must act more cautiously."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Jiang Ruhai in confusion as he saw him getting furious, then turned to look at Jiang Qingyu.

Jiang Qingyu smiled in astonishment, "It's not that serious, how could it involve court officials?"

"Let me ask you, if you went to the imperial mausoleum today, what happened to the third prince?"

"Can you get away with it?"

"Can the Jiang family escape responsibility?"

"The Regent may not be able to escape responsibility either."

Jiang Ruhai said this while pacing in the hall with a gloomy look on his face.

"The Shen family and the court officials stand behind the Third Prince, so the Third Prince cannot move."

"If the Third Prince cannot be moved, the Regent Prince's plan is... not justified."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Jiang Ruhai's back and gradually understood something in his heart.

She knew that her father had always been cautious and upright, and would never have participated in party disputes if it were not for her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu knelt on the ground.

"Little sister, what are you doing?"

"Father, I know that whether it's the Third Prince or the Regent, it's all because of me."

"If it weren't for my marriage to them, the Jiang family wouldn't have to take sides and get involved in the party struggle."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingyu stood up and walked forward to pull Jiang Qingwu up.

"Don't be silly. We in Shunqing Marquisate hold the military power and are in a strategic position. Whether you are there or not, we can't remain immune."

"Partisan strife is only a matter of time."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingyu walked closer to Jiang Ruhai, "Father, I don't believe Yan Xiuchen loves my little sister."

"But for big things, Yan Xiuchen is definitely more suitable than Yan Lin."

"The empire of Great Yan was conquered by Yan Xiuchen, and the peace and prosperity of Great Yan was governed by the Regent."

"You know better than your son what Yan Xiuchen and Yan Lin have been doing over the past ten years."

"I'm just afraid that my little sister is too obsessed with love, but if it comes to national affairs, she made the right choice."

“We won’t lose.”
