Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Seeing Yan Xiuchen staring at her wrist, Jiang Qingwu shook her head slightly and reached out to take the clothes that Yan Xiuchen handed over.

"No...no."

Yes, compared to the pain in some other parts of my body, the pain in my wrist is really insignificant.

Although Jiang Qingwu said so, Yan Xiuchen knew very well that the drug was so powerful that he couldn't control it at all.

Moreover, he was so greedy that he tortured her for such a long time during her first time.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiuchen's face was filled with guilt and self-blame.

"You should have left!"

Jiang Qingwu put on her clothes with her back to Yan Xiuchen, and she already understood something in her heart.

He raised the corners of his lips secretly and whispered, "Why? I'm not as good as those girls you had before?"

Yan Xiuchen was startled for a moment, sneered, and moved closer to him, "Who told you...I have a little wife."

"You are so sophisticated, don't you have a love affair?"

Jiang Qingwu naturally knew that Yan Xiuchen didn't have any young lady, he was just teasing him to make him feel more relaxed.

"Experienced?" Yan Xiuchen asked softly, leaning towards his ear from behind.

"Although I don't have a young lady, at my age...isn't it possible for me to do this kind of thing?"

Heat waves rolled around Jiang Qingwu's ears, and his cheeks instantly turned red, like a red fruit.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu blushing, Yan Xiuchen raised the corners of his lips, sat next to Jiang Qingwu, and pulled her into his arms from behind.

"Do you know... what time it is now?" Yan Xiuchen asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qingwu shook his head slightly.

Yan Xiuchen smiled faintly and moved closer to him, "You hour."

Jiang Qingwu was startled and looked up, "You... You hour? Didn't we fall in the morning..."

Jiang Qingwu was surprised, and instantly realized something.

I was so happy that I didn't even notice how time passed. How come it's dark already?

Jiang Qingwu was complaining in her heart when Yan Xiuchen put his lips close to her ear and said, "I haven't answered the question you asked me before."

Jiang Qingwu was startled and looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, "What..."

"You asked me...if I wanted you..."

Jiang Qingwu's pupils brightened slightly and he immediately avoided her gaze.

Yan Xiuchen, on the other hand, said softly with a joking smile, "I want to, I really want to, I have always wanted to..."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen pulled the person closer to him, "Are you cold? If not... if not poisoned, I would not let you suffer here."

"I'm not a delicate woman, don't worry about this."

"It's just..." Jiang Qingwu murmured, and suddenly remembered something, "This is strange..."

"If I hadn't received a letter on the way saying that you were in danger at Jingdu Station, I would have entered the palace."

Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "I was just skeptical at first, but after I got infected with this love poison, I completely understood."

"You know? What do you understand?" Jiang Qingwu looked up at Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen raised the corners of his lips slightly and kissed her forehead gently.

"The Queen Mother was poisoned, she broke into the prison to save Xu Qingran, and sent you a letter. All of these were Gu Yanbai's doing. If I'm guessing correctly, Yan Lin has already taken the antidote to save the Queen Mother."

Jiang Qingwu was confused and understood at the same time, and looked at Yan Xiuchen in astonishment.

"I really don't understand him. Is he on your side or Yan Lin's side?"

"Also, I understand that he sent you and me away and asked Yan Lin to ask for this benefit."

"But was the love poison also his plan? Why did he do this..."

"Probably...probably to help me. This guy is a little crazy."

Yan Xiuchen murmured, and then recalled what happened that day at Liushan Hall.

Looking at Jiang Qingwu in his arms, Yan Xiuchen was silent for a moment, then leaned forward and took out a jade pendant from the pocket of his clothes not far away.

When Jiang Qingwu saw the jade pendant in Yan Xiuchen's hand, she was stunned and suddenly sat up straight.

This jade pendant was exactly the same as the one she had obtained before. The only difference was that this was a complete round pendant and was not separated.

“This jade pendant…what are you doing with this jade pendant…” Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen in surprise.

Yan Xiuchen lowered his eyebrows and let out a bitter smile.

"I know that you must want to know the truth about this jade pendant or my lifesaver, as well as about what happened over the past three years."

"Actually, this jade pendant was given by the late emperor. There are three identical round pendants, and they can all be split into two."

"The late emperor gave this round pendant to me, Gu Yanbai, and the current emperor."

"The piece in Yan Lin's hand was given by the Imperial Concubine. His Majesty gave it to the Imperial Concubine."

"The imperial concubine took it and divided it in two, giving half to Shen Wanrong and Yan Lin as a token of the alliance."

"What you saw in Yan Lin's mansion was the separated half of Yan Lin and Shen Wanrong."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen took the jade pendant from Jiang Qingwu's hand, examined it absentmindedly and said, "The half in your hand... is actually Gu Yanbai's other half."

"He's right. The person who rescued you from the enemy prisoner camp... was definitely not me..."

As Yan Xiuchen spoke, he looked up at Jiang Qingwu, with an unconcealable sense of loss welling up in his eyes.

"It was him, Gu Yanbai. He was the one who saved you."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but explain, "Actually, I don't have to marry..."

Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses and nodded, "I know, Yuya told me, you don't have to explain... I understand."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen sighed, looked at the jade pendant in his hand and said, "Actually, back then... when the two armies met and I saw you for the first time, I knew you had followed me disguised as a man."

"When your father's team met mine, I learned that you and the follow-up team were captured by the enemy."

“I wanted to save you so badly that I took Jiuye and Jiuhan and sneaked into the enemy city, Sanshui City.”

"But... I have been in the enemy city for three whole days, trying every possible way, but I still couldn't find a chance to save you."

Jiang Qingwu was a little stunned, staring at Yan Xiuchen infatuatedly, his head buzzing and his eyes reddened.

Yan Xiuchen went to rescue her and look for her. For three whole days, he, the commander-in-chief and regent of the dynasty, lurked in the enemy city.

And she didn't know all this.

"What...what happened next?" Jiang Qingwu asked in a daze.

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly and came back to his senses, "Later? Later I had no choice but to find Gu Yanbai..."

"Although he did not join the army to fight, he is definitely a member of the Sang Kingdom."

"I asked him to save you, and he agreed."

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head in a daze.

"Impossible. At that time, he should have hated you very much, even more than he does now... How could he possibly agree to you?"

Yan Xiuchen stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, hesitating twice, and said lightly, "Of course... I asked him to do it."

Although Yan Xiuchen said so, Jiang Qingwu still didn't believe it.

Gu Yanbai had attacked Yan Xiuchen several times during his visit to the capital. Even though he had no intention of killing him, he hated him to the core.

What's more, the two armies were at war at that time, and Gu Yanbai had just escaped from Fuye, so he should have resented him even more.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen quietly with doubt in his eyes.

But before she opened her mouth, Gu Yanbai's voice came from outside the cave, "Beg me? Is that all?"
