Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xiuchen heard the voice, looked at the paper on the table, and vaguely realized something.

Before he could say anything, Gu Yanbai grabbed the paper.

[In the 158th year of Great Yan, Yan Xiuchen followed His Majesty to personally conquer the Eastern Border. He returned wounded and made great achievements in battle. After recuperating for a year, he was named King Chen.]

Gu Yanbai was stunned, looking at the paper, and chuckled, "What do you want to say."

"I want to say that from 145 to 159, all the records about Yan Xiuchen are like this, and there is not a single piece of paper mentioning you."

"If my guess is correct, 158 is the year Yan Xiuchen abandoned you in Fuyeh."

Gu Yanbai looked at the words on the paper, snorted coldly, and threw it aside.

"Yes, it was that year. I already knew that Dayan had erased everything about me. What's so strange about that?"

Jiang Qingwu sighed impatiently and walked towards Gu Yanbai with the paper.

"I'm not letting you see this piece of paper to prove that Dayan has erased your traces."

"I want to tell you to read it carefully. It says here that I returned with injuries and need to recuperate for a year..."

Jiang Qingwu pointed at the words on the paper and handed it to Gu Yanbai.

Yan Xiuchen behind him couldn't help but frown and clenched his fists secretly.

"The whole thing, all the secrets, there are things I don't know, there are things you don't know, but this thing must be something you don't know."

"Why did he abandon you in Fuye? Why didn't he go back to find you..."

“This… is the answer.”

Gu Yanbai looked at the paper, his heart skipped a beat, and he slowly took the paper over.

Seeing Gu Yanbai looking thoughtful, Jiang Qingwu sighed secretly and turned to look at Yan Xiuchen.

"If you don't want to tell me, just keep hiding it, but I don't want him to misunderstand you forever."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu turned around and left cleanly.

Gu Yanbai stared at the paper for a long time, as if thinking about something.

Only when Yan Xiuchen was about to get up and leave did he come to his senses.

"Are you injured? You were fine when you left...how could you be injured?"

"One year of recuperation? What kind of injury requires one year of recuperation..."

Gu Yanbai stared at Yan Xiuchen and asked in a daze.

Yan Xiuchen was speechless for a moment and walked towards him, "It's just... a minor injury."

"You rest first..." Yan Xiuchen agreed, and just as he was about to leave, Gu Yanbai grabbed him.

"It's just a minor injury. You'll have to rest for a year? What did they do to you?"

"What exactly happened back then?" Gu Yanbai asked repeatedly, holding onto Yan Xiuchen's arm tightly and refusing to let go.

One lowered his head, the other raised his eyes. Gu Yanbai sat on the chair, staring at Yan Xiuchen and waiting for his answer.

Perhaps at this moment, he really and completely believed what Jiang Qingwu said.

He had no choice but to leave him in Fuyeh.

Yan Xiuchen didn't answer in the end. He had already seen guilt and sadness in Gu Yanbai's scarlet eyes.

If he told him, he would probably never be able to get over the past.

Seeing that Yan Xiuchen had no intention of speaking, Gu Yanbai calmed down and slowly let go of him.

"It seems... Jiang Qingwu's uncle and his family... are going back to Beijing."

Gu Yanbai murmured, and Yan Xiuchen suddenly frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to say...it seems like they can't come."

Yan Xiuchen's face darkened and he grabbed the man and said, "What did you do? What do they have to do with you?"

Gu Yanbai raised his head and smiled, "Why are you so nervous? It's not me who did this."

Yan Xiuchen suddenly realized something, "Yan Lin?"

"That's right, Yan Lin will not let go of the Jiang family and the Jiang family's help."

"Jiang Qingwu's uncle's family has been stationed at the border for many years, and the whole family are military generals... If they enter the capital at this time, they will definitely become a thorn in Yan Lin's side..."

"I'm afraid I've already done it by now, but you have to thank me."

"I was the one who gave him the idea to spare the lives of the Su family so that he could have something to hold against them."

As he said that, Gu Yanbai suddenly pulled Yan Xiuchen's hand away, "Brother, I beg you, please tell me the truth."

"I can accept whatever the truth is."

"Also, tell me who is the person who wants to kill me?"

"As long as you promise me, I will ask Yan Lin to release the Su family."

Yan Xiuchen was furious and grabbed Gu Yanbai's clothes and pushed him onto the bed.

"You've threatened me more than once."

"If you want to fight me, I will fight you to the end."

"You're dreaming if you want me to compromise!"

Having said that, Yan Xiuchen slammed the door and left.

"Nine nights..."

"I'm here, godfather..." Jiu Ye heard the shouting and hurriedly ran in from outside.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen looked at the door behind him, walked away, and lowered his voice.

"Immediately arrange for the Red Guards to pick up the Su family, ensure the safety of the Su family, and secretly send them to the capital."

Jiu Ye nodded blankly, turned around and hurried away.

Yan Xiuchen knew that Gu Yanbai was desperate and had no other options.

Only then will you try every possible means to know the truth.

In fact, even he himself doesn't know how long he can hold on.

Jiang Qingwu left the palace and walked on the long street.

The streets of Upper City are still bustling with people.

Vendors, shops, hawking, and laughter can be heard one after another.

Jiang Qingwu passed by Zhuang Youwen's stall and saw that it was empty, and her heart couldn't help but tighten a little.

She almost forgot that Zhuang had moved back to the bookstore near Liushan Hall to work as a teacher in order to take care of his little nephew.

This stall has been sold out a long time ago.

Just as Jiang Qingwu was standing on the long street in a daze, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Miss Jiang is still so sentimental."

Jiang Qingwu heard a buzzing in his ears and was startled. When he turned around and looked into the distance, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

There were many people at the roadside noodle stall. At one of the empty tables, Shen Wanrong was sitting there wearing a long hat that covered herself tightly.

Jiang Qingwu secretly clenched his fists, but still suppressed the anger in his heart and sat down.

"It's been a long time indeed. Earlier, I thought that if you turned into a mad woman, I might be able to spare your life."

"Hmph, spare me? Guess why I dare to appear in front of you in broad daylight." Shen Wanrong calmly held a cup of tea. Just by listening to the sound of her voice, one could hear the disdain and contempt in her eyes.

Jiang Qingwu also vaguely realized something, "Tell me, I'm not surprised at all that you can appear in front of me."

"Ever since I knew you were released, I knew you would come to trouble me sooner or later."

Shen Wanrong chuckled, gently put down the teacup, and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu, "I brought you a gift. It's a real gift."

"It should be delivered to your home soon."

"You can go back to the mansion first and see if you like this gift. If you like it, we can talk about other things."

Having said that, Shen Wanrong placed a piece of silver on the table and then turned and left.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu was about to get up and chase after her, but he discovered that there were four men secretly protecting Shen Wanrong.

When hesitating, the person disappears.

Thinking of Shen Wanrong's words, Jiang Qingwu turned around and hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion without saying a word.

As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by the hurried Zhuang Qing.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu, Zhuang Qing trotted over and gestured nervously.

"Madam and the princess said that the girl is back and will go to Fuyunxuan as soon as possible."

Jiang Qingwu was thinking about something, holding up the hem of her skirt, and walked along the corridor straight towards Fuyunxuan.

As soon as he arrived at the main hall of Fuyunxuan, Jiang Qingwu was stunned.
