Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

exchange? Exchange for what?

Jiang Qingwu frowned and looked at Gu Yanbai in confusion, then he turned around and greeted Jiuhan.

"Go and ask for good wine and good food."

"Your girl threw away my wine, so you have to give me a jar of good wine as a reward."

Jiuhan heard Gu Yanbai's instructions and turned to look at Jiang Qingwu.

If it were normal times, Jiuhan would listen to Gu Yanbai’s unimportant instructions.

But at this time, he naturally had to ask Jiang Qingwu's opinion.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai hesitantly, and after a long silence, he gestured slightly to Jiuhan.

Soon, Tan Xi and two maids brought wine and food to the stone table by the lake.

A jar of good wine and a wine jug were also brought over.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai poured himself some wine without waiting for Jiang Qingwu to say anything, one glass for himself and one glass for Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly and snorted, "Do you think I will drink with you?"

"This is the rule, the rule of exchange."

Gu Yanbai said, looking at Jiuhan who was standing beside him, "He knows."

"This is the rule between Yan Xiuchen and me. We have always been like this."

"It's just that after a few years of separation, when we met again, his heart and eyes were full of you. He made more plans and calculations, and he had his own woman."

"The time to drink with me...is gone."

There was a hint of gloom on Gu Yanbai's face. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Qingwu with the wine glass in his hand, then drank it all in one gulp.

When Jiang Qingwu heard Gu Yanbai talking about his past with Yan Xiuchen, he suddenly became interested and waved to Jiuhan and Tan Xi.

Seeing this, the two men bowed to Jiang Qingwu and walked away silently.

Gu Yanbai came back to his senses and looked at the backs of the two people, as if he could see through Jiang Qingwu's thoughts.

"It seems you really want to know what happened between us."

"You said you wanted to exchange, but how? What are the rules?"

Jiang Qingwu put the knife in his hand on the stone bench beside him, ready to fight with Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai chuckled and pointed to the wine glass in front of Jiang Qingwu, "Drink that glass of wine first."

Jiang Qingwu didn't say much, just drank a glass of wine and tilted his head back.

With a "pop", Jiang Qingwu put down his wine glass and gestured to Gu Yanbai, "Go ahead."

"This rule was set by Yan Xiuchen. One question is answered by one glass of wine. The person drinking asks the question and the other person answers it."

"In exchange, we exchange information."

Jiang Qingwu stared at Gu Yanbai in a daze, then nodded, "What if I lie?"

Gu Yanbai sat up straight and smiled, "The most important thing about this game is that the two people playing the game trust each other."

"The rule is, don't lie."

If I can't lie, then Gu Yanbai can't lie either.

Interestingly, this rule was actually set by Yan Xiuchen.

Jiang Qingwu thought secretly, staring at Gu Yanbai with a suspicious look.

"I believe you." Jiang Qingwu hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Firstly, she really had a lot of questions to ask Gu Yanbai.

Secondly, she also wanted to try what Yan Xiuchen had done before.

"Okay, that's very courageous. Since you believe in me, then I... also believe in you."

As Gu Yanbai spoke, he picked up the wine glass, gestured to Jiang Qingwu, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Let me ask you, why do you insist on killing Shen Wanrong?"

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly as he remembered something.

Once in Puling Temple, she was careless for a moment and thought she could kill Shen Wanrong that day, so she told many things about her past life.

If Shen Wanrong stayed in Gu Yanbai's hands for a long time, she would probably tell her everything.

"She killed my entire Jiang family and my second brother and cousin. How could I let her go?"

There was hatred in Jiang Qingwu's eyes, and he was very straightforward.

Gu Yanbai frowned, with doubt in his eyes, "Ridiculous, when did she kill your entire Jiang family......"

Jiang Qingwu smiled and said calmly, "I had a dream. Plus, the Shen family and our Marquis' Mansion had a falling out, and I learned about her and Yan Lin's plan."

"I will feel uneasy if I don't kill her."

"What's more, my maid Xing'er died because of her."

"A dream? Ha, that's ridiculous." Gu Yanbai couldn't believe it, but he didn't think there was anything suspicious.

Just as he was distracted, Jiang Qingwu silently picked up the wine glass in front of him and gestured to Gu Yanbai, "It's my turn to ask."

As he said this, Jiang Qingwu took a gulp.

“You ask.” Gu Yanbai also came back to his senses, an unruly smile rising at the corner of his lips.

"Lin Yu, Concubine Yu, is it Shen Wanrong? Don't tell me, you don't know, I don't believe it."

Gu Yanbai heard the voice and laughed, "I knew you would ask this, how could I not know?"

"I am her savior. Have you forgotten that on Pu Ling Day, I pretended to be Jiang Jiu and saved you."

"Later, Yan Xiuchen, who had come rushing over, knocked him off the cliff with a palm..."

"Of course, I jumped myself and saved her."

Jiang Qingwu was shocked, then he suddenly realized.

What happened at Puling Temple that day suddenly came to mind.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Is Lin Yu Shen Wanrong?"

"Yes." Gu Yanbai blurted out without thinking, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu.

"She's your friend, so how could you be wrong if you suspected she was?"

Jiang Qingwu was startled.

Gu Yanbai actually answered her like this.

And Shen Wanrong really is Lin Yu, she really guessed it right.

Jiang Qingwu was still in a daze, but Gu Yanbai had already picked up the wine glass in front of him.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu gestured to Gu Yanbai, "Go ahead and ask."

"Why did you marry Yan Xiuchen? I first thought you were taking revenge on Yan Lin, but later, I thought you were planning this."

"Later, I thought you were going to use Yan Xiuchen to become the queen..."

"But I always feel that what you think in your heart is not like this."

"Why did you agree to marry Yan Xiuchen?"

"He really loves you, but you don't, at least not when you promised him."

Jiang Qingwu sighed helplessly, smiled and shook his head, "Is this why you have always wanted to break us up?"

"Are you afraid that I will plot against him?"

"You were very nice to him."

"Stop talking nonsense, I want an answer."

Gu Yanbai's face darkened and he picked up the wine jug while speaking.

Jiang Qingwu smiled bitterly to himself, lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"You're right. Maybe what I agreed to was not really love."

"But it's not revenge on Yan Lin, nor is it a conspiracy, and it's not that I want to be the queen."

Gu Yanbai was puzzled and frowned, "What is that?"

"Because he is my savior."

Gu Yanbai was stunned for a moment, his hand holding the wine jug dangling in the air, and he looked up at Jiang Qingwu with a frown.

"Help... benefactor?"

"You mean, the Xiling battlefield?" Gu Yanbai's face darkened slightly, his eyes were solemn, and he stared at Jiang Qingwu closely.

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it was... when I was fourteen, during the battle with Sang Nation in the East Territory."

Gu Yanbai was shocked and looked at Jiang Qingwu with his pupils shaking.

"Fourteen years old, that is, the battle with Sang three years ago?"

Jiang Qingwu nodded, sighed heavily and said, "At that time, you should be... 21 years old."

"You are from Sang country, you should know about that battle."

"In fact, the reason why I was with Yan Lin was because of this."

"I once saw a jade pendant in Yan Lin's study. It was the jade pendant worn by the man who saved me on the battlefield in the East Territory."

"While I was unconscious, I tore off half of the other person's jade pendant, which matched the one in Yan Lin's study perfectly."

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu in panic, his hand unconsciously reaching for his waist.
