Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Hearing the sound outside, Gu Yanbai suddenly became alive, like a stone sculpture that had suddenly come back to life.

As Yan Xiuchen entered the room, Gu Yanbai smiled and said, "You came at the right time. The chicken soup is still hot."

Jiang Qingwu also came back to his senses, and looking at Gu Yanbai who had come back to life, he sighed secretly.

He took out the jade seal and threw it to Yan Xiuchen, "I'm returning what I borrowed from you."

"Gu Yanbai has been busy in the kitchen for an hour, making chicken soup for you to drink while it's hot. I'm going to go back now and I won't disturb you anymore."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu forced a smile on his stiff face and was about to leave.

But when she passed by Yan Xiuchen, Yan Xiuchen grabbed her.

"Don't go yet, I have something to tell you." After Yan Xiuchen said this, he glanced at Gu Yanbai coldly.

Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly, put down the bowl of soup and stood up.

"Okay, I'm leaving. It looks like no one wants to drink this chicken soup."

Hearing this, Yan Xiuchen pulled Jiang Qingwu over and said to Gu Yanbai, "Drink it yourself, we'll talk outside."

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly, and he sighed helplessly, allowing Yan Xiuchen to pull him out.

"You...you let me go. You dragged me into the yard just to let him drink chicken soup? Is there any justice in this?"

Jiang Qingwu covered her wrist and shouted at Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen frowned and looked at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, "What does this have to do with Gu Yanbai? I want to talk to you about Yuya's marriage."

"Yuya's marriage? Oh, you should ask Yuya about her marriage. Why are you asking me?"

"I am just doing the job entrusted to me."

"You... I only have one sister, Yuya. If Prince Pingqing and the Queen Mother knew about Yuya, they would marry me off so hastily..."

Yan Xiuchen's face was gloomy. If it were in the past, she would have been too scared to make a sound.

But now, she is not so timid.

"Can you be more rational? No matter how grand Yuya's wedding is, is it more important to have Dayan's kingdom?"

"No matter how sloppily this marriage was arranged, Yuya married her sweetheart, and this was her own wish."

"Besides, this is a solution that my father and second brother came up with after careful consideration. They don't want you to go to the war."

Yan Xiuchen sighed helplessly, glanced at Jiang Qingwu and walked towards the lake, "Of course I know it's because of this matter."

"But, I would rather go to war than..."

"You are willing to do so. Have you ever thought about what will happen in the capital after you leave?" Jiang Qingwu scolded and followed quickly.

"If you leave the capital, who can suppress the Shen family and the third prince?"

"I'm telling you, as soon as you leave the capital, Concubine Shen and Yan Lin will be released."

"And... the guy in your room, you like to raise him as a son, it's up to you, but what if you leave?"

"I can't catch up with his Qinggong, and I don't know how powerful he is."

"Do you really expect my father and I to suppress these demons and monsters?"

Jiang Qingwu's outbursts continued, each one louder than the last, leaving Yan Xiuchen speechless.

When the two people were in a stalemate, Gu Yanbai stood at the door of the house holding a small bowl, and a leisurely chuckle came from him.

"How did I become a monster? Stop arguing, chicken soup is..."

"Shut up."

"you shut up."

Jiang Qingwu and Yan Xiuchen shouted at Gu Yanbai at the same time.

Gu Yanbai was stunned, rolled his eyes and took the bowl back.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu walked closer to Yan Xiuchen and said, "Today, Gu Yanbai hired a thief in your name to steal the jade seal from me in Dongcheng."

"If I hadn't gathered the people from Liushan Hall to help me find it, this jade seal would have fallen into Gu Yanbai's hands."

"Now I've returned the things to you, whether it's the secret room or the jade seal, you can do whatever you want with it."

"Also, the marriage between Second Brother and Yuya cannot be reversed. You have to agree to it whether you agree or not."

"If you want to be angry with me, then continue to be angry. It happens that I don't want to pay attention to you either."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu walked away angrily.

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth but still said nothing. He just sighed helplessly.

When Yan Xiuchen returned to the house, Gu Yanbai had already served the chicken soup and was sitting beside him with a apologetic smile on his face.

Yan Xiuchen, on the other hand, looked at him coldly, with a stern aura, "What do you want the jade seal for?"

Gu Yanbai was startled, sat up straight, and sighed, "Why is this woman still complaining?"

"I want...of course it's useful."

"Tell me what's the use." Yan Xiuchen asked coldly, his eyes sweeping towards Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai felt a little guilty for a moment and said, "I... don't want you to go to the battle."

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly and picked up the bowl of soup in front of him, "Don't want me to go? Then let Sang withdraw its troops."

"Me? Do you think my words will work?" As soon as Gu Yanbai finished speaking, Yan Xiuchen poured the chicken soup in the bowl towards Gu Yanbai.

"Ah... my clothes... are very expensive." Gu Yanbai suddenly jumped up and looked at Yan Xiuchen angrily.

"Do you think you will withdraw your troops just because I say so?"

"Everyone from the Sang Kingdom who is ambushing in the capital knows that I am imprisoned in the Regent's Palace."

"You couldn't contact me, and you couldn't rescue me, so you started the rebellion."

"Now they..."

Gu Yanbai was loudly defending himself when he met Yan Xiuchen's gaze and instantly became timid, "I...what I said is true."

"Really? I can't contact you. Who gave the Shen family the idea to attack the Queen and the Queen Mother?"

"You really think you can fool me."

"It was your idea to send troops to Sang State, and you teamed up with the Shen family to stir up trouble in the harem."

"There are only two purposes. One, to stop me, Jiang Qingwu, and Yuya from getting married."

"Second, in exchange for Yan Lin's freedom, we will consume the country's military strength and turn it into the Shen family's private army."

"You want to help them seize the world of Dayan, right?"

"You ate my food, drank my drinks, stayed in the palace to confuse me, and secretly arranged such a big plan."

As Yan Xiuchen spoke, he sighed secretly, and when he thought of Jiang Qingwu's words, he let out a bitter smile.

"She's right. You're putting a knife next to me, ready to kill me at any time."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen with a lost look in his eyes and sat aside silently, "Do you know what I want? If you can agree to it, I will kill Yan Lin immediately."

Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses and turned to look at Gu Yanbai with a sharp look in his eyes, "You're dreaming!"

Gu Yanbai took a deep breath, stood up and sneered, "I knew there was nothing to talk about."

Seeing that Gu Yanbai was about to leave, Yan Xiuchen shouted to the outside of the door, "Jiuhan, lock it again. He is not allowed to leave the west wing without my order."

"Yes..." Jiuhan agreed and pulled Gu Yanbai over.

"Yan Xiuchen, you come again, can you solve the problem by locking me up?"

Jiuhan had just left with Gu Yanbai not long ago, and the shouting was still faintly heard when Jiuye hurried in.

"Godfather, the palace has reported that the emperor has appointed a new concubine, Yu, who is the maidservant that Eunuch Li mentioned."

Yan Xiuchen didn't seem surprised. He thought silently for a moment, waved at Jiu Ye, and lowered his voice.

"Go check this person's background and see if he has any connection with the Shen family."

"Yes, my son knows."

The next morning, Jiang Qingwu was still in a dream when there was a knock on the door.

"Girl, someone came to report that there is news from Dongcheng..." Aqin whispered outside the door.

Jiang Qingwu was startled, his mind instantly became clear, and he suddenly sat up.
