Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

A letter changed Yan Xiuchen's plan, and the carriage that was leaving the city turned back to the palace.

He just looked like he was worried about something and didn't say much along the way.

“Godfather, recently…” Jiu Ye followed Yan Xiuchen hesitantly, looking at him cautiously.

Yan Xiuchen was a little slow to react, but he came to his senses and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. When did you become so hesitant?"

"No, my son feels that there have been a lot of things going on lately."

"Godfather has to take care of Gu Yanbai and the Jiang family. On one hand, he has to protect Jiang Qingwu, and on the other hand, he has to deal with the troubles of the imperial court and the Shen family."

"Now... even he has come out to mess things up. My son just feels that this matter is being pushed onto your shoulders."

Yan Xiuchen didn't think so at first, but after Jiu Ye said that, even he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Are there that many?"

Jiu Ye looked at Yan Xiuchen, nodded repeatedly, took a few quick steps, and moved closer to Yan Xiuchen.

"My son has some things to say, but I don't know whether I should say them or not."

"You said."

"Concubine Shen is dead, the third prince is under house arrest, Gu Yanbai is with us, and Shen Chengshan has only Shen Zhuoqi who dares not show up."

"It is better to get rid of the Shen family as soon as possible and crush the third prince to death."

"As for Gu Yanbai..."

"Tie him up and bring him to the front of the army, and force the Sang Kingdom to withdraw."

"He is the godson that the Lord of Sang loves the most. He is a prince. The Lord of Sang will definitely be cautious..."

Although Jiu Ye spoke in a low voice, his words were still heard by Gu Yanbai who was drinking on the roof.

Gu Yanbai's eyes changed color, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and he threw the wine jar towards Jiu Ye through the air.

Yan Xiuchen discovered it immediately and quickly pulled Jiu Ye away, avoiding the attack.

But before the two of them could come to their senses, Gu Yanbai came down from the roof and attacked Yan Xiuchen directly.

Jiu Ye staggered a step, and seeing the two men fighting, he quickly drew his sword.

“Back off…” Yan Xiuchen shouted at Jiu Ye while struggling with Gu Yanbai.

I thought Gu Yanbai was just joking, but I didn't expect him to kill Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen stepped back, his eyes swept over Gu Yanbai, and before he stood still, he took out the golden bronze fan.

He swung sideways and hit Gu Yanbai on the back of the shoulder.

Gu Yanbai staggered, stumbled a few steps, and barely stood still.

"You...you are going to kill me." Gu Yanbai turned around and shouted, rubbing the back of his shoulder and hissing in pain.

Yan Xiuchen's face was gloomy. He said nothing and turned to go into the house.

But Gu Yanbai behind him quickly chased after him.

"Where is the person who took Shen Wanrong away?" Gu Yanbai asked behind him, and Yan Xiuchen, who had just entered the room, couldn't help but stop.

He had clearly given the instructions and no one dared to disobey, but Gu Yanbai knew it so quickly.

"How did you know?" Yan Xiuchen turned around and asked. Gu Yanbai felt guilty for a moment and avoided Yan Xiuchen's gaze.

"Of course it's Shen Chengshan..."

"I know it's Shen Chengshan, but you're in the palace, how did the news about Shen Chengshan get in?"

"If you want to go out, there will be no one who will notice you in broad daylight. If someone notices you, they will naturally report it to me."

Yan Xiuchen approached step by step, questioning Gu Yanbai one after another, leaving him speechless and unable to do anything but retreat.

"I...I, I didn't go out, I was..."

"You have an insider in the palace, right?" Yan Xiuchen blurted out, paused, and shouted to the outside of the door, "Jiu Ye."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Gu Yanbai echoed repeatedly, turned around and waved to Jiu Ye who came in.

"Don't call me Jiuye. I'll tell you who she is, but don't make things difficult for her. She's just a little girl with parents and children to take care of. It's not easy for her to sell herself to this palace."

Yan Xiuchen's face suddenly changed when he heard that, and he shouted angrily, "You know it's not easy, but you still drag others into it."

"Jiuye, find this man and drive him out."

"Yes, godfather."

Seeing Jiu Ye leaving, Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly and followed Yan Xiuchen.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen sitting at the table, he hurriedly sat over and poured tea for Yan Xiuchen.

"elder brother……"

When Yan Xiuchen heard Gu Yanbai speak, he paused with the teacup in his hand, then put the tea into his mouth.

"You don't have to use this word every time to criticize me. Just say whatever you want to say..."

Gu Yanbai raised the corners of his lips slightly in a smile. He was not happy because this word could control Yan Xiuchen.

But he was happy that Yan Xiuchen still cared about this word.

"You know, I don't care about Shen Wanrong's life or death. What I want to know is who took Shen Wanrong away with the late emperor's jade sword."

As Gu Yanbai spoke, his face darkened, and Yan Xiuchen could feel the hostility gradually emanating from him.

Yan Xiuchen raised his eyes to look at Gu Yanbai and pushed the empty teacup in his hand towards Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai came back to his senses and hurriedly poured another cup of tea.

"It's all in the past, don't ask, don't look for me..." Yan Xiuchen picked up the teacup and murmured softly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yanbai suddenly stood up and his expression changed drastically.

"You know what the person holding the Jade Sword of the Late Emperor means to me."

"You should also know that he is the one who wants to kill me."

Yan Xiuchen's eyes also became sharp, and he looked up at Gu Yanbai, "Do you think I will tell you who he is and where he is?"

"If you don't tell me, I'll look for it myself. There are many people alive in Dayan, but not many who are dying."

Gu Yanbai said something angrily, turned around and walked out, but when Yan Xiuchen shouted, he suddenly stopped.

"Aze...don't force me to abandon you again."

Gu Yanbai turned around and stared at Yan Xiuchen's back, her eyes instantly reddened.

"Do you think I'm still the same person I was seven years ago? The Aze who would cry and beg you not to leave?"

Gu Yanbai put his hands behind his back and sneered.

"My name is Baiyue Ze'en, and I am Prince Ze'en of Sang Country, the heir to the throne."

"You can't trap me, and you can't stop me."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai stepped back, turned around, walked quickly out of the house, and jumped onto the roof.

Looking at the layers of courtyards, pavilions, towers and waterside pavilions in the palace, Gu Yanbai let out a bitter laugh.

"Between me and them, you still choose to help them, Yan Xiuchen, you have never changed."

"This broken place, I won't stay any longer."

Yan Xiuchen knew that Gu Yanbai was gone, and he felt like something was sticking in his chest.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiu Ye rushed in.

"Godfather, Gu Yanbai has left, and the people we arranged have secretly followed him."

"Don't alarm him, just protect him secretly." Yan Xiuchen murmured softly, and the hand holding the teacup suddenly became sore and weak.

I couldn't help shaking, and the cup in my hand fell out of my hand.

There were even waves of stabbing pain in the chest, so painful that it was impossible to breathe.

"Godfather...Godfather, what's wrong with you?" Jiu Ye was shocked and rushed over.

Before Yan Xiuchen fell from the chair, he supported him.

"Someone come, Tan Xi, call the imperial physician, the imperial physician..."
