Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai were obviously surprised and both looked over.

Yan Xiuchen also reacted immediately, "Stop it, what nonsense are you talking about?"

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen placed the medicine bowl in front of Gu Yanbai. With a glance, Gu Yanbai obediently picked up the medicine bowl.

"Drink, of course I will drink. If I don't drink, it will make the princess even more unhappy."

Seeing that Gu Yanbai had drunk the medicine, Yan Xiuchen stood up and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, "Come on, I will accompany you back to your room and let the imperial physician take a look..."

"I don't want it." Jiang Qingwu blurted out, walking around Yan Xiuchen and towards Gu Yanbai.

"Since you teamed up with Yan Lin just to deal with Yan Xiuchen, then be direct."

"Yan Xiuchen is here, and you are in the palace. If there is anything you want to kill or cut, or talk or discuss, just make it clear."

"I remind you, if you collude with Yan Lin again, I will never show mercy."

After saying that, Jiang Qingwu turned around and stopped in front of Yan Xiuchen, "I will go back to the Marquis' Mansion later and make room for you."

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth and looked at Jiang Qingwu who was striding away. Just as he was about to chase after him, he heard a loud laugh from Gu Yanbai behind him.

"Haha... this... this girl wouldn't think that you have a homosexual tendency, would she?"

"She's actually jealous!"

Gu Yanbai laughed so hard that he fell over, but when he raised his eyes, he met Yan Xiuchen's cold eyes, and then he immediately restrained himself.

"Ahem...it's not my fault. You refused to tell her. No, you didn't dare to tell her my identity."

"Not just her...it's everyone."

As Gu Yanbai spoke, the smile on his face was covered by a gloomy look.

"I feel like an alien thrown into the dark mud, crawling silently."

"You don't dare to tell Gu Qing who I am, let alone tell others who I am?"

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai raised his eyes and smiled, tilted his head slightly, leaned back, and said calmly, "Of course, I don't care if you tell others who I am."

Yan Xiuchen listened to Gu Yanbai's words silently and slowly sat back.

"Over the years, I have indulged you in your wrongdoings and even risked my life to play with you."

"But now, I don't want to indulge you like before..."

Gu Yanbai sneered, with contempt flashing in his eyes, "I know, it's all for Jiang Qingwu."

"I don't know who said it, but as long as she is well and I see her happy, I am willing to remain unknown and lonely until old age."

"What made you change?"

"Seizing the antidote, forcing marriage, fighting for power, seizing the throne, all just for Jiang Qingwu?"

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, shook his head, and smiled bitterly as if thinking about something.

"Yes and no."

"I changed because I knew that if I continued to indulge you, either you would die or I would die. The result would be..."

Yan Xiuchen was suddenly speechless, as if he remembered something. He looked at Gu Yanbai with a bit of heartache in his eyes, "The result is that you die, and I don't want you to die."

"I changed it because I didn't want my brother to be forced to death, the Queen Mother to be poisoned, Yuya to hang herself, and I didn't want to see the Marquis' Mansion being massacred and Jiang Qingwu's tragic death..."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen, stood up slowly with a bewildered look on his face, and twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"

Yan Xiuchen suddenly came to his senses after hearing the voice, "Nothing, I just wanted to tell you."

"I will not let you die, nor will I die in your hands. I want the world, and I also want Jiang Qingwu."

"As for you, Gu Qing is right. If you continue to collude with the Shen family and Yan Lin, don't blame me for imprisoning you for life."

Gu Yanbai was startled, his pupils trembling as he sat up straight, "You dare!"

Yan Xiuchen snorted coldly, stood up and said, "Do you think I dare to..."

As he said that, Yan Xiuchen shouted to the outside, "Little Six, bring the chain."

"Yes."

"Yan Xiuchen, you can't lock me up..." Gu Yanbai suddenly stood up and walked towards Yan Xiuchen with a quick step.

But as soon as he got close, Yan Xiuchen grabbed his wrist and clamped it with his backhand.

"You have no say over this palace of yours."

"The Shen family has tried very hard to save you."

"He instigated His Majesty to summon me to the palace, and asked Gu Ming to steal Gu Qing's jade token. Then, he sneaked in to rescue you while I was away from the palace."

"Unfortunately, it failed."

"Just stay here safely. Yan Lin can't save himself, and no one will come to save you."

After saying that, Yan Xiuchen watched Xiao Liuzi take the chain, pushed him onto the couch, turned around and strode away.

"Yan Xiuchen, you bastard, you dare to lock me up... Let me go, I won't let it go like this..."

When Yan Xiuchen came out of the west wing, two maids were waiting outside.

"Your Highness, the girl said that she was going to the kitchen to get something, and then she left on her own, so Your Highness didn't need to look for her."

Yan Xiuchen said nothing, took the umbrella handed to him by the maid, and walked towards the kitchen.

The palace's kitchen was not too far from Beiyuan, but it was not right next to it either.

The word "Chef" was engraved outside the gate of the huge courtyard. There were twenty or thirty people inside and outside the courtyard.

Jiang Qingwu stood in the yard in a daze, watching everyone busy themselves, feeling a little helpless for a moment.

So many people, just serving him?

I haven't seen when he eats or what he eats. What is such a big kitchen busy with every day?

Jiang Qingwu walked towards the kitchen in disbelief.

Several chefs wearing aprons were busy cooking, some were steaming cakes, and some were making dishes.

Jiang Qingwu took a quick look and saw northern and southern dishes, Eastern and Western pastries, all the delicacies of Dayan were here.

The people in the kitchen looked over and saw that Jiang Qingwu was dressed exquisitely and in a distinguished style, and they were very respectful.

"My...honorable man, have you...come to the wrong place?" Someone came up.

Jiang Qingwu looked up and saw a tag with the words "Master Chef" hanging on his waist.

"Oh, I came here to get two cakes, one is pineapple cake from the Southeast region, and the other is chrysanthemum cake from Meicheng."

Upon hearing the voice, the master chef couldn't help but look at Jiang Qingwu. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Your servant Tan Xi greets Miss Jiang. May the lady be blessed with good health."

Jiang Qingwu was startled suddenly, and when he saw the maid bowing respectfully in front of him, he suddenly remembered something.

Yan Xiuchen did say just now that from now on, all trivial matters in the inner house will be handled by the first-class maid, Tan Xi.

"Get up, are you Tanxi?"

"Yes, I am Tan Xi, your servant, and I am honored to meet you, young lady."

Jiang Qingwu nodded and gestured to Tan Xi, "That's great. Tell the chef that I want a portion of pineapple cake and chrysanthemum cake to go."

"Yes." Tan Xi agreed, turned around and instructed the master chef,

"This is Miss Jiang, your highness's future princess. Go and prepare what she wants immediately."

Hearing the voice, everyone knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Miss Jiang..."

"Everyone get up." Jiang Qingwu gestured to everyone and turned to look at Tan Xi.

He looked a little older than her, but he was calm and decisive.

When Yan Xiuchen found the kitchen with an umbrella, Jiang Qingwu and Tan Xi had already walked out.

Jiang Qingwu was holding an umbrella, and Tan Xi was carrying a food box and basket behind him.

"Greetings, Your Highness..." The people in the kitchen bowed one after another.

Yan Xiuchen didn't care and walked straight towards Jiang Qingwu, "What are you doing in the kitchen? If you need anything, just tell someone to come."

"What's it to you?" Jiang Qingwu rolled his eyes and walked forward.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen smiled helplessly and chased after him, "Are you still angry? Why are you jealous of others?"
