Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Within half an hour, Feng Qizi left the Second Prince's Mansion pushing the food delivery cart.

After coming out, he looked around carefully and turned into the back alley.

Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue, along with the old man Liu who was delivering the food, were waiting there.

"Girl, it's done. Everything is done."

Seeing that Feng Qizi was safe and sound, Jiang Qingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Old Man Liu standing beside him.

"You also came from Liushantang, Mr. Liu... Today's incident..."

"Don't worry, young lady. My whole family is in East City. If it weren't for the protection of Liushan Hall, I would have died long ago."

"This job was arranged by Liushantang. I know how to do it."

Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly and took out a silver ingot from his arms.

"No, no, no, I can't have this, I..."

"There is no rule that you can't do work for me without getting paid." Jiang Qingwu said as he threw the silver over.

"Qizi, you and Uncle Liu should go back to East City. There is nothing for you to do now."

"Yes, girl."

In the evening, Jiang Qingwu went to the palace.

As soon as I arrived at Beiyuan, I heard the melodious sound of the piano.

Jiang Qingwu followed the sound and saw Gu Yanbai in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

He was dressed in white and had a guqin in front of him.

The sound of the piano is lingering, melodious and ethereal.

Jiang Qingwu walked over unconsciously. The two maids guarding the lake saw that it was Jiang Qingwu and hurriedly bowed to greet him.

"See you, girl..."

"Get up." Jiang Qingwu echoed and walked towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Gu Yanbai didn't look up, his face was as calm and indifferent as water.

"You are here... He went to the palace early in the morning and has not returned yet."

"I think it's because of Yuya's marriage."

Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly, calmed down his thoughts, turned around and sat on a stone bench beside him.

"There was a fight last night, nothing happened, right?"

"Are you asking me or him?" Gu Yanbai asked softly, raised his eyes and smiled, "I think I should ask him, he will be fine."

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu steadily, with a hint of guilt in his eyes. "I lost my composure last night. I apologize to you."

"No need."

"The main reason I came here today is to ask you for a favor." Jiang Qingwu said, standing up and walking towards him.

"You... beg me? That's rare. Tell me about it."

"Although I don't know what you are planning, or whether you are an enemy or a friend, I hope you won't cause trouble at my second brother and Yuya's wedding ceremony."

"You know what I mean?"

Gu Yanbai's eyes were solemn as he looked at Jiang Qingwu quietly, then he slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Since you've begged me like this, I'll just agree."

"But, I only promise, one, not to instigate and direct the Shen family to act."

"Second, do not conceal the Shen family's actions in the marriage."

“Third, I will not cause trouble to your Jiang family according to my intention.”

Jiang Qingwu heard this and nodded repeatedly, "That's the best. Thank you."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu turned around and prepared to leave, but Gu Yanbai let out a light laugh.

"You already know that Lin Yu is Shen Wanrong, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Qingwu paused but did not look back.

"Of course, I killed her before you told her that I knew about this."

Gu Yanbai chuckled, sighed, stood up and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell her about this."

"In the final analysis, the Shen family is just a pawn I use, and anyone can discard them at will."

"But you are different. You are the apple of his eye. I can naturally tell who is close and who is far away."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu was a little surprised. She turned to look at Gu Yanbai and finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"You reconciled last night? He had his reasons, didn't he..."

Gu Yanbai's face darkened, and then the gloom on his face dissipated in an instant.

He shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly and said, "No."

"No reconciliation?"

"He had no hardship. He told me clearly that he had no hardship, no last resort, and he never... came back to look for me again."

Gu Yanbai said, looking up, "Jiang Qingwu, tell me, if you were me, what would you do?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at the change in Gu Yanbai's emotions, and his heart tightened slightly. He lowered his eyes and whispered, "I will find out."

"In this world, there is love without reason, but there is no hate without reason."

"He may love you for no reason, but he must have given up on you for a reason."

Listening to Jiang Qingwu's words, Gu Yanbai fell into deep thought.

"Love can have no reason, but giving up... must have one."

"What reason do you have to give up...a ​​friendship of life and death, and years of affection?"

Gu Yanbai murmured softly, and when he came to his senses, Jiang Qingwu had already walked away.

In the carriage leaving the palace, Yan Xiuchen held the golden bronze fan in his hand, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The Beijing Criminal Department has spies everywhere. The Fuye people were able to reach Dayan, the capital, and then the palace without making any noise. They must have been protected by someone.

Whatever Gu Yanbai could figure out, he naturally understood as well, but there was one thing that made them different.

That is, he does not need to investigate who the person is who is sheltering the Fuye people.

"Godfather, should we go to the Marquis' Mansion or return to the Prince's Mansion?" Jiu Ye asked in a low voice while riding on a horse, approaching Yan Xiuchen's window.

Yan Xiuchen's thoughts were pulled back. He gently opened the curtain and signaled to Jiuye with his eyes.

"Avoid everyone and go to Shiweizhuang."

Jiu Ye was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, son, I'll arrange it."

Qiduling outside the city.

On the mountain road that winds around the mountain is a hidden mountain villa, Shiwei Villa.

Zhuangzi is on the top of a mountain, surrounded by tall pines, but there are only two children guarding the gate.

Yan Xiuchen only brought Jiuye with him. When he knocked on the door, two little boys bowed to him.

"Your Highness..."

"Where is he? I want to see him." Yan Xiuchen asked in a low voice.

The two children bowed their heads slightly and said respectfully, "The master is fishing in the valley and has not returned yet."

Yan Xiuchen looked at the gradually darkening sky, turned around, and hurried down the mountain toward the valley.

The dense bamboo forest hides an elegant bamboo and wood manor.

The backyard of the garden faces a flowing stream.

An old man was wearing coarse clothes, a straw hat, holding a bamboo pole, and had a cowhide water bag and two sesame cakes in his hand.

But there was not a single fish in the wooden barrel nearby.

Yan Xiuchen did not hide the sound of his footsteps, but the old man did not turn back.

Only when he reached him did Yan Xiuchen stop, stand up straight, and bow slightly.

"The last time I saw you was in the middle of last winter."

"You are really unreasonable. You are about to get married, but you didn't even bother to come and see my old bones."

The old man spoke in a gentle voice, put away his fishing rod, and picked up the sesame biscuit beside him.

"You know what, this girl really knows how to eat. This thing may not look good, but it's really delicious..."

"Bring her along next time and bring me some biscuits."

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly and walked closer to him, "Let him go."

The old man heard the voice and said in confusion, "Him? Who? I like that girl very much."

Yan Xiuchen had no choice but to speak again, "I'm not talking about Gu Qing, I'm talking about..."

"Shut up, you'll have to die a few times for that thing!" The old man suddenly interrupted him.

The voice suddenly became cold, like a roar from the throat, and then it became calm and ruthless.

"A person who should have died long ago...cannot be kept alive!"
