Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

It was already very late when Imperial Physician Li returned to the palace.

Tan Xi was waiting in the pharmacy. When he saw Imperial Physician Li coming back, he went to greet him.

"Imperial Physician, have the medicines for His Highness and Master Gu been prepared?"

"I've already ordered someone to cook it. I went outside to buy some things..."

Tan Xi smiled slightly, looked around, looked at the busy servants, and walked closer to the imperial physician.

"Your Highness... is waiting to take medicine."

"Yes."

In Beiyuan, when Imperial Physician Li saw Yan Xiuchen coming out of the inner room, he hurried over and handed the medicine given to him by Shen Chengshan to Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the medicine bottle and raised his hand towards the imperial physician.

"This is bone-removing powder. Duke Shen said that I should poison it immediately. It will take effect after twelve hours."

"Twelve hours? Humph, it seems that this time tomorrow will be the day I die."

Yan Xiuchen murmured, suddenly remembered something, and shouted to Jiu Ye who was not far away.

"Jiuye, have you arranged everything I asked you to arrange?"

"Don't worry, godfather. Everything has been arranged."

"How can I help?" Gu Yanbai suddenly appeared at the door.

Jiu Ye also came to his senses immediately, winked at the imperial physician, and the two of them quickly retreated.

Gu Yanbai looked at the two people walking away, tiptoed in, and sat down at the table.

"With your condition, the best help would be to heal your wounds."

"Are you looking down on me?" Gu Yanbai raised his eyes to look at Yan Xiuchen, frowning and said disdainfully, "What you said is not accurate."

"It should be. I don't do anything but help."

"If I do anything, you won't be able to accomplish anything."

Gu Yanbai was speaking as he prepared to pour tea, but the teapot was too far away and he couldn't reach it even after stumbling.

Yan Xiuchen sighed helplessly, sat down towards him, took the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to him.

"Gu Qing's uncle and aunt, when are you going to release them?"

"All their people are dead. What can the couple do to help you?" Gu Yanbai said coldly.

Yan Xiuchen frowned, his eyes suddenly fierce, "If you dare to hurt them, don't blame me for being rude."

"Okay, tell me when you know what I want to know and I'll let them go."

Yan Xiuchen stared at Gu Yanbai and turned his face away without saying a word.

"You... are not allowed to hurt them. After I deal with Yan Lin, I will settle these accounts with you."

Gu Yanbai thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I remind you..."

"Your elite soldiers and cavalry are not here. The Jiang family's army is fighting with the Sang Kingdom in the east."

"Half of Prince Pingqing's men are in Jiangnan, and half are in the border of Bi..."

"If the generals of the Regent's party in the capital are also captured, the only people you can use are the personal guards of the Capital Criminal Department."

"But..." Gu Yanbai said, and a chuckle was heard.

"I heard that you secretly trained your own elite soldiers and secret guards, called...what was their name..."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen's face suddenly darkened. He turned around and walked towards Gu Yanbai, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm injured, you still want to hit me..."

"Someone come, help, the Regent is going to kill someone..." Gu Yanbai shouted outside, then looked at Yan Xiuchen with a smug smile.

"How about I speak louder? So that people outside Beiyuan can hear it?"

Yan Xiuchen's eyes were filled with helplessness as he stared at Gu Yanbai, "Try to go crazy again..."

Gu Yanbai sneered, turned around and shouted outside, "Someone come here, your prince is going to kill me, your highness..."

Gu Yanbai had just said half of his words when Yan Xiuchen slapped him on the acupuncture point on his neck.

Gu Yanbai's pupils suddenly trembled, he coughed violently, and became speechless for a moment.

He pointed at Yan Xiuchen with his mouth open and gestured angrily.

But Yan Xiuchen turned his face away disapprovingly.

"I warn you, keep an eye on your Prince Zen's men. If you ask them to do anything, they will oppose me."

"Don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen poured himself some tea, and when he saw Yan Lin slapping the table and pointing at him, he secretly raised the corner of his mouth.

At midnight, Yan Xiuchen's secret letter was delivered to the old man in Qiduling by carrier pigeon.

The old man held the letter and his face darkened little by little.

Bai Ge, who was standing by, had not yet recovered from his injuries. Seeing the old man's grim expression, he quickly stood up and said, "Is there something wrong? Can I..."

"You can do anything...what have you become?"

As he spoke, the old man handed the letter in his hand to Bai Ge.

[The net has been spread out, Yan Lin has no way to escape. 】

Bai Ge read the few short words and looked up at the old man, "Your Highness sent a letter by carrier pigeon to tell the master not to worry about him and not to take action."

"Humph, that evil creature wanted to find me, and I was looking for him too."

"If Yan Xiuchen hadn't blocked me, I wouldn't have to think about these things all day long."

The old man's face was filled with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table. "After Yan Lin is killed, bring that thing to me and get the antidote to Yan Xiuchen first."

"Yes, master."

Yan Xiuchen knew that whether it was the old man and Bai Ge on Qidu Ridge, or Gu Yanbai in the North Garden of the Palace.

It is impossible to turn over the past at this moment.

One day, they will face each other and reveal all their secrets.

And he is an unavoidable link.

Now, he just wants to get rid of Yan Lin first and protect the people he wants to protect.

The next afternoon, Shen Wanrong, whom Jiang Qingwu couldn't find, appeared by herself.

A letter was delivered to Jiang Qingwu, and only then did Jiang Qingwu know that Zhuang Qing had been detained.

After seeing the contents of the letter, Jiang Qingwu immediately took a knife and went out.

He didn’t even bring Wan Yue.

In the dilapidated temple outside the capital, where Xing'er had the accident.

When Jiang Qingwu arrived, two strong men were guarding outside the door. When they saw it was Jiang Qingwu, they did not use force. Instead, they came over slowly to lead the horse.

"Our girl has been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Qingwu ignored the two of them and went straight into the dilapidated temple.

Although she had secretly arranged everything, she was still panicked at the moment, especially in this place.

She was very afraid that what happened to Xing'er would happen to Zhuang Qing, but as she approached the ruined temple, she vaguely sensed something in the dense forest in the distance.

The uneasiness in my heart gradually dissipated.

Several men were standing in the courtyard of the dilapidated temple, looking at Jiang Qingwu as if he were his prey, with murderous eyes that didn't blink away.

On the contrary, Shen Wanrong in the dilapidated temple was sitting calmly by the campfire with Zhuang Qing.

When Zhuang Qing saw Jiang Qingwu, she quickly stood up. Just as she was about to walk over, she was stopped by Shen Wanrong who drew her sword.

"I know you are good at martial arts, but you don't have to be so confident."

"Are you so sure that if you come here alone, the two of you can return safely?"

Jiang Qingwu ignored Shen Wanrong and looked at Zhuang Qing who was standing beside him.

"Are you okay? Are you injured? Is anyone bullying you?"

Seeing this, Zhuang Qing quickly gestured to Jiang Qingwu, "No, girl, they want to kill you..."

"Don't worry, they can't kill me." Jiang Qingwu said, put the knife in his hand aside, and sat opposite Shen Wanrong.

"You want to kill me, and I want to kill you too. Before that, let's have a good chat."

Shen Wanrong smiled when she heard that and put away the sword in her hand. "Okay, I just have a question that I can't figure out, and I want to ask you."
