Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen's uneasy and nervous expression, and her heart skipped a beat. She nodded helplessly.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that the truth of these things might really be something she could not get involved in or bear.

There was a loud rumble of thunder and it started raining outside.

Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were gradually pulled back, and he stood up and walked towards the window.

"It's raining..." Jiang Qingwu murmured, and only then he realized that Jiu Ye was kneeling in the yard.

"Jiuye? You...you made him kneel? What's the purpose?"

"This kid is getting more and more daring. Don't worry about it. Just rest here today. Drink the medicine later and go to bed early. I'll go to the west wing to check."

Yan Xiuchen stood up and was about to leave, but Jiang Qingwu suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a minute, the antidote..."

"Eat it now."

Hearing this, Yan Xiuchen nodded disapprovingly, "Okay, let's eat now."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu went to pour tea.

Even after Yan Xiuchen took the medicine and left the house, Jiang Qingwu still felt heavy in his heart and couldn't help but think about what he had said.

To be honest, those things really have nothing to do with me. Since he minds getting involved so much, it’s better not to know the truth.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen walking away, Jiang Qingwu quietly put on a cloak, took an umbrella and went to the yard.

"Hey, get up quickly, he's gone." Jiang Qingwu shouted in a low voice, holding an umbrella over Jiu Ye's head.

Jiu Ye looked up at Jiang Qingwu in surprise, and shook his head gently, "I made a mistake, and it was right for godfather to punish me."

"You have already knelt down. It is raining so hard now. If you are sick and your brother is not here, who will help him?"

"Besides, he's going to the west wing now. You should get up first. Besides, I'm here today. I asked you to get up. If anything happens, I'll take care of it."

Jiang Qingwu said this with certainty, and then pulled Jiu Ye up.

"Go change your clothes."

Jiu Ye looked in the direction of the west wing, bowed to Jiang Qingwu, and when he turned to leave, he couldn't help but turn back.

"Girl, do you know why godfather punished me?"

Jiang Qingwu shook his head in confusion, then moved closer to him, "I don't know, you...what did you do wrong?"

Jiu Ye opened his mouth but said nothing. He bowed slightly and hurried away.

The west wing of Beiyuan.

Gu Yanbai was not seriously injured. He slept for two hours and finally calmed down.

Sitting on the couch beside the bed, watching Yan Xiuchen drinking tea calmly, Gu Yanbai couldn't help but rush over.

"What do you want in exchange for telling me who that person is?"

"I won't tell you who he belongs to?" Yan Xiuchen's voice was not loud, but very firm.

Gu Yanbai sneered when he heard the voice and nodded angrily.

"Back then, you chose them between me and them. Now, you still want to stand on their side, right?"

Seeing that Yan Xiuchen was not in a hurry and had no intention of speaking, Gu Yanbai waved his hand and knocked the cup of water in his hand to the ground.

"You won't tell me who he is. Fine, then tell me why they must kill me."

"Why after so many years, why are all the people who should die dead, there are still people who want to kill me."

"Does the plan of killing me have to be passed down from generation to generation?"

Yan Xiuchen was not angry. When he saw the teacup was broken, he took another one and poured tea.

"Listen to me, go back to Sang Country and be your Prince Zen."

"I don't want it. I'm not from Sang Country. Brother, I beg you, please tell me, tell me why."

"Why did it seem like something was wrong with me since I was born? Why did they have to kill me? Why is there not even a trace of me in the entire Dayan?"

"What monstrous mistake have I made?"

Gu Yanbai sat opposite Yan Xiuchen pleadingly, but Yan Xiuchen was silent for a long time, raised his eyes slightly, and said only one sentence.

"If you want to leave, I'll send you off. If you want to stay, I'll protect you."

"No one can kill you, and you can't kill him either."

Gu Yanbai stared at Yan Xiuchen in a daze, his eyes gradually becoming fierce, and he slowly stood up and said.

"Do you know why I came to Dayan?"

"I'm here for revenge. I want to take away everything from you. Whatever you care about, I want it."

"Either I win, and you become my prisoner, so I can get what I want."

"Either I lose or I die in your hands."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai chuckled, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the Queen Mother's life is in my hands."

"The Emperor's life... is in my hands. Even your life... is in my hands."

"Brother, you have to think it through."

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, raised his eyes and nodded, "I know."

"You...you know, what do you know?"

"You are the miracle doctor Yan Lin mentioned. It was you who gave him the Heart-Eating Gu poison and asked him to poison me in the Xiling battlefield."

"First, it was to gain Yan Lin's trust, and second, it was to control me."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen in astonishment, and sat down on the edge of the couch in disbelief, "How did you know? Who told you?"

"You said it yourself." Yan Xiuchen said lightly. Looking at Gu Yanbai in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his face, nodding heavily again.

"I once... killed you."

"You were in my arms with your face covered in blood, and you told me that you were going to sacrifice yourself in exchange for my life at Fuyedufeng Pass."

"I just didn't expect that I would speak first and give up on you."

"You said you hated me, but you never really wanted to kill me."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai who was safe and sound in front of him, and thought of what happened when he was on the verge of death in his previous life, and his eyes couldn't help but tear up.

Seeing Gu Yanbai's bewildered face, Yan Xiuchen gently patted his face and said, "I will never experience that kind of piercing pain again."

"So if I have to die, it's at your hands."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen in panic, then slowly stood up, as if he remembered something.

"You...when did this happen? You, don't tell me this was a dream."

Yan Xiuchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently, "Okay, just treat it as a dream."

"Ha, that's ridiculous, you two both like to dream, don't you?"

Gu Yanbai blurted out, Yan Xiuchen was startled, raised his eyes and asked, "What did you say."

Gu Yanbai sighed softly, shook his head, and waved his hand casually, "Dream, huh..."

Gu Yanbai had no intention of getting entangled with Yan Xiuchen about any absurd dream. He sneered and approached him.

"I won't let you die, but I will let you watch someone you care about die."

"If you don't tell me who that person is and the whole truth, I will kill one person every day."

"Humph, Dayan, the capital, the palace, the inner courtyard, I don't believe that there is no one you care about."

"One day, I will kill the one you love the most. I want to see whether you will speak up or not."

Gu Yanbai uttered some harsh words, then grabbed the flute on the table, turned around and left.

But as soon as he turned around, Yan Xiuchen suddenly grabbed the golden bronze fan and waved it at him.

Gu Yanbai was startled and immediately dodged sideways.

But when he dodged the golden bronze fan and stood still, Yan Xiuchen flashed up to him quickly and knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.

Then he held up the unconscious Gu Yanbai with one hand and caught the golden bronze fan that had returned after spinning around the room with the other hand.
