Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu didn't know the feelings between the two, but he also understood the affection and hatred that tore them apart.

Thinking of what Gu Yanbai had said just now, that he had saved Yan Xiuchen's life, Jiang Qingwu's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"You just said that you saved his life?" Jiang Qingwu suddenly spoke.

Gu Yanbai suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes were bloodshot and glowing faintly, so bright in the gradually darkening environment.

"Yes." Gu Yanbai sighed softly, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "When we were young, Queen Mengjia went crazy and kidnapped us and sent us to the cold palace."

"You gave us poison and asked us to fight..."

"The winner can leave, the loser drinks the poison."

Jiang Qingwu's pupils dilated and he looked at Gu Yanbai in disbelief, then looked at Yan Xiuchen.

"Empress Mengjia? Did you know each other when you were children in the palace?"

Yan Xiuchen nodded slightly, and said absentmindedly, "Queen Mengjia's child was killed, so she has gone insane..."

"We also entered her garden by mistake and were captured by her and her two close men."

Jiang Qingwu stared at the two of them in a daze and asked hurriedly, "What happened next? Did you... have a fight?"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu, then turned to look at Gu Yanbai and shook his head gently, "No, there was no fight. He snatched the poison and drank it directly."

"It was also because of him that I was able to escape because of his protection."

"When I brought people back to rescue him, he was beaten all over and had passed out from the poison."

"The imperial physician tried to save him for several days and nights, but he almost died. Since then, his heart and lungs have been damaged, and his martial arts and physical condition are far inferior to mine."

While saying this, Yan Xiuchen's eyes were fixed on Gu Yanbai sitting opposite him.

Although he said it calmly, Jiang Qingwu could see the ups and downs in his heart.

I gradually began to understand many things.

"Look, I protect you so much, but how do you treat me?" Gu Yanbai said jokingly, as if complaining to Jiang Qingwu.

"I gave him my life, and it's fine if he didn't repay me, but when it came to a choice between the two, he even abandoned me in Fuye."

"When we were in Sanshui City, he knelt down for a woman like you who didn't even know who he was. Tell me, how could I not be angry?"

Gu Yanbai chuckled as he spoke, and seeing Yan Xiuchen's guilty look, the smile on his face gradually faded.

There was also a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Actually, I only had one purpose."

"I just want to take you away. I want you to go to Fuye and suffer the same hardships that I have suffered."

"I want you to go to Sang Country and be my prisoner..."

Gu Yanbai took a deep breath and sat up straight, "Of course, Dayan must also be mine. I want everything you have...including her."

"If I can't succeed, I have only one wish, which is to die in your hands..."

Gu Yanbai's eyes were deep as he looked at Yan Xiuchen quietly, "I want to see if your heart is black..."

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed out loud, as if he was laughing at himself.

"But Jiang Qingwu is right. There are many things I haven't thought about carefully."

"I was blinded by the pain and hatred. She is right. If you really don't care about me at all."

"Why would you play with my life?"

Yan Xiuchen said nothing and looked at Gu Yanbai expressionlessly.

I don't know how many things and words he has hidden, but he always keeps his mouth shut and looks as indifferent as ice.

Gu Yanbai had no choice but to nod gently, clapped his hands and slowly stood up.

"In fact, I have arranged everything. I could have stayed away from coming here."

"But I am willing to sit here and talk to you because I want to hear you tell me the answers I want to know."

Yan Xiuchen was silent for a long time, and finally uttered a few words, "You ask."

"I... may not answer."

Gu Yanbai sneered and walked closer to him. "First of all, why can't Dayan tolerate me? Why do you have to get rid of me?"

Yan Xiuchen's face was calm, and he stared silently at the campfire in front of him, like a cold sculpture.

Gu Yanbai felt a little disappointed and helpless, and his voice became even louder due to his anger.

"The second thing is, why did you abandon me in Fuye, why did you never come back, why did you never look for me."

Seeing that Yan Xiuchen still didn't speak, Gu Yanbai leaned over and squatted in front of Yan Xiuchen, "Speak."

"I said...I, I may not answer."

"Yan Xiuchen..." Gu Yanbai shouted angrily, then suddenly stood up and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Also, who is the person who is still alive and wants to kill me, and who is watching everything from behind?"

"Yan Xiuchen, I beg you, I beg you to tell me..."

Gu Yanbai stood not far away with red eyes, looking at Yan Xiuchen intently, as if holding his breath, waiting for him to speak.

Jiang Qingwu on the side also looked at Yan Xiuchen quietly.

He was the only one with a calm face. His eyes gradually withdrew from Gu Yanbai, becoming dim and lowering their eyes, as if he was thinking about something seriously.

After a long time, it seemed like a really long time, he finally spoke softly.

"I don't know... I don't know why Dayan can't tolerate you..."

After speaking, Yan Xiuchen's gaze gradually became firm, and he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yanbai confidently.

"I don't know why Dayan must get rid of you."

"Also, I left you in Fuye only because I had to do so at the time. Either you stay or I stay."

"Of course...you stay."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen slowly stood up and said, "As for why I didn't look for you..."

"Maybe... I forgot."

Yan Xiuchen said it lightly, his tone even more indifferent.

"Oh, the person who is still alive today, the person who wants to kill you... He is very important to me, I can't... tell you who he is."

"Also...if one day, you and him face off, I will definitely...stand on his side..."

Gu Yanbai listened to these words, and tears as crystal clear as pearls rolled down his scarlet eyes.

He closed his eyes with disappointment on his face.

"Hehe, what am I waiting for?" Gu Yanbai smiled bitterly and murmured in a low voice.

Jiang Qingwu felt a heavy heart in his chest, angry and anxious. He suddenly stood up and grabbed Yan Xiuchen.

"Do you really have to say that?"

"If you don't want to speak, just don't speak. Why do you have to say such hurtful words?"

Jiang Qingwu scolded, gradually unable to control his emotions.

"If you don't care about him, why didn't you ask him for the antidote even though you knew he was the one who poisoned you? Instead, you chased him away..."

"If you really don't care about him, why did you help him clean up the Fuye assassins, and why did you take a blow from that mysterious man for him..."

"Also, you told that person about the poison and the antidote. Aren't you just trying to gamble your life and force that person not to do anything to him?"

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu in surprise, then looked at Yan Xiuchen. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Xiuchen spoke first.

"It's just making up for the guilt. It doesn't really want my life."

"Now he has come to me for revenge. If I don't make up for it, do I really have to kill him with my own hands... or be killed by him?"

"I just...just want to make my conscience feel better."

Gu Yanbai swallowed hard what he wanted to say just now, smiled bitterly and nodded, "So, this is the answer you gave me."

"Yes."

"Are you sure?" Gu Yanbai's eyes gradually became cold and his face darkened.

Yan Xiuchen was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly, "OK."

"Okay, then don't blame me for being rude." Gu Yanbai said calmly with tears in his eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, he suddenly made a move and threw a dart at Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen quickly dodged when he saw this, but when he came to his senses, Xu Qingran had already drawn his sword and put it on Jiang Qingwu's neck.

"Let her go..." Yan Xiuchen shouted angrily.

Just as he was about to step forward, his body suddenly went limp, he staggered, and fell to his knees on one leg.
