Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu was caught off guard and the sudden powerful force made her unable to breathe for a moment.

My brain went blank in an instant and I lost the power to resist.

"What misunderstanding? Are you saying that I misunderstood him? Are you saying that he didn't abandon me?"

"Believe it or not, I will kill you right now..."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't break free, and she was struggling subconsciously, slapping Gu Yanbai's hands desperately.

With a "swoosh" sound, a short knife flew in the air and directly slashed Gu Yanbai's arm.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Gu Yanbai's hand loosened, and Jiang Qingwu suddenly lost weight. He staggered backward and was supported by Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen was dressed in Jiangjiu's clothes. He looked at the fingerprints on Jiang Qingwu's neck, raised his hand holding another short knife, and pointed it at Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai also came back to his senses, looking at Yan Xiuchen's wild laughter, "You pointed the knife at me again, but you were reluctant to do so and pretended to be so arrogant."

"Ahem... I, I'm fine."

Jiang Qingwu gradually came to his senses, looked at Gu Yanbai in front of him, and reached out to press down Yan Xiuchen's arm.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen retract his knife-wielding hand, Gu Yanbai became even more annoyed, "You listened to her, she's just a woman, she doesn't love you, do you know that?"

"She is only with you to repay a favor..."

"Shut up." Yan Xiuchen shouted angrily, sheathed his dagger, and approached him, "You can leave now. I... can't accommodate you anymore."

As he said that, Yan Xiuchen turned around and supported Jiang Qingwu, "Let's go."

Hearing Yan Xiuchen's words, Gu Yanbai panicked, his eyes turned red in an instant, and he shouted in panic.

"You heard us talking just now, didn't you? How dare you...how could you chase me away?"

"You want to abandon me again, don't you?"

Yan Xiuchen heard Gu Yanbai's shout, but without stopping, he slowly took off the silver mask on his face, and the gloominess on his face became more and more intense.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen, feeling uneasy.

"You... don't regret it. I'm telling you, Yan Xiuchen, if I really leave, I will... I will kill everyone who has anything to do with you."

Gu Yanbai threatened helplessly and involuntarily took two steps towards Yan Xiuchen.

But seeing that Yan Xiuchen still didn't stop, Gu Yanbai completely panicked and chased after him with a few big strides, "Brother..."

Yan Xiuchen's heart skipped a beat and he stopped in his tracks, his body stiffening involuntarily.

Before he could react, Gu Yanbai behind him choked up and spoke again, "Brother, I... I was wrong, don't chase me away..."

Jiang Qingwu turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, then looked at Gu Yanbai who was standing not far behind him, and his heart was moved.

At that moment, she suddenly understood Yan Xiuchen's worried and nervous look when Gu Yanbai was seriously injured.

He also suddenly understood why Yan Xiuchen indulged him and allowed him to do whatever he wanted in the palace.

Because he knew that Gu Yanbai cared about him and would never do anything to hurt him.

And that Gu Yanbai who was calm and unfathomable in front of Yan Lin.

In front of outsiders, Gu Yanbai is arrogant, unruly and wanton.

At this moment, in front of Yan Xiuchen, her eyes were red, like a poor child.

Jiang Qingwu's heart trembled slightly, and she couldn't bear it anymore, especially when she thought of the suffering Gu Yanbai might have suffered in Fuye.

"It's getting late. I'm glad you're okay. I'm going back to the Marquis' Mansion first... You stay."

Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Qingwu with a look of guilt.

"Let Jiuhan take you back. The king will come to the Marquis' Mansion to see you tomorrow."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen gestured slightly to Jiuhan in the distance.

When Jiang Qingwu left, Yan Xiuchen was walking towards Gu Yanbai.

Looking at Gu Yanbai, who was smiling like a child who had received candy, Jiang Qingwu felt mixed emotions.

It's just that there are many questions buried deep in her heart.

Who is the person who forced Yan Xiuchen to choose between the two?

Anyone who forces someone of his status must be no ordinary person.

Since Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen grew up together, why is there no trace or word of him in Dayan?

Who is he? Is he really not a biological brother?

The word "brother" was enough to make Yan Xiuchen's defenses collapse. It can be seen that he cherishes Gu Yanbai as much as Gu Yanbai does.

Then why did he give up Gu Yanbai and abandon him?

How did Gu Yanbai survive, how did he escape from Fuye, go to Sang Kingdom, and then to his current huge power?

There was also something she didn't want to think about or understand.

In the battle with Sang Kingdom three years ago, was the person who saved her Yan Xiuchen?

Although... she had already made up her mind that no matter it was true or not, she would not give up this relationship.

…………

It was already three quarters past midnight by the lake in Beiyuan.

There was a chill in the air, and even though Tan Xi and the others lit two lanterns, it was still difficult to conceal the darkness of the night.

Yan Xiuchen untied his cloak, took the medicine box brought by Tan Xi, pressed Gu Yanbai onto the stone bench, and untied the chains on his hands.

Gu Yanbai stared at Yan Xiuchen like a demented child, making him uneasy.

"I heard everything you said just now." Yan Xiuchen whispered, his voice neither hurried nor slow.

Gu Yanbai, on the other hand, quickly sat up straight and explained with a smile, "I was just joking with her. I won't kill her."

As he spoke, he saw Yan Xiuchen bandaging his wound and quickly leaned over to him.

"Brother, I was wrong. You know, even if I want to kill someone, I won't kill Jiang Qingwu first."

"Love the house and love the dog...I understand."

Gu Yanbai described the murder as something so commonplace, and Yan Xiuchen listened very calmly.

"It was me... who abandoned you in Fuye. I am sorry for you."

Yan Xiuchen murmured in a low voice, while Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen quietly for a long time and moved closer to him.

"So... you have your reasons, right?"

Yan Xiuchen's hands stiffened slightly when he listened to Gu Yanbai's words, but soon returned to normal.

Yan Xiuchen didn't say anything. In the silent air, there was only the sound of medicine bottles colliding.

Gu Yanbai was helpless after all. "You chose to hand me over and leave me in Fuye. Did you have any hardship?"

Yan Xiuchen was busy bandaging Gu Yanbai's wound, with no ripples on his calm face.

Sitting on a stone bench nearby, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen remained silent, Gu Yanbai became even more annoyed. He looked at him in confusion and sneered.

"I've thought about what Jiang Qingwu said before. You have your own reasons. You have no choice. I even thought that you would come back to find me."

"I will go back to save me and take me back to Dayan."

"But you never showed up again after you left. Jiang Qingwu is not me. She can't understand..."

Gu Yanbai was full of thoughts and he let out all the grievances in his heart.

But before he could finish his words, Yan Xiuchen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted him.

"I had no hardship, no necessity, and... I never went back to look for you."
