Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

In the Prince's Mansion, Yan Lin and Gu Yanbai sat facing each other, drinking wine.

Yan Lin did not doubt Gu Yanbai's position at this time, but only doubted Gu Yanbai's identity.

The drinking of this wine also has a bit of tentative meaning.

"Sir, you are injured, so please enjoy the wine."

Yan Lin poured wine for Gu Yanbai and raised the glass to gesture towards him, "Thank you, sir, for planning this for me."

"Only then can I be crowned as the crown prince today, and I can expect to ascend the throne soon."

Gu Yanbai raised the corners of his lips slightly, raised his glass and clinked it with Yan Lin's, "Now, you are already the crown prince."

"According to my plan, it's already a win."

"Sir, you are right. Now my wish has been fulfilled. But there is one thing I don't quite understand."

"I wonder what the feud between you and Yan Xiuchen is..."

Yan Lin asked bluntly, but very politely.

Seeing that Gu Yanbai looked calm and kept silent, he continued to ask questions.

"He seems to be afraid of you and takes good care of you..."

"Also, the gentleman said before that he had his own things to do when he came to Dayan..."

"Now, sir, do you have any unfinished business? I will certainly help you with all my strength."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Lin quietly, his heart as clear as a mirror, then lowered his eyes and smiled, "It's just for a woman."

"I once saved his life, but he stole my sweetheart. He just feels guilty."

"My wish has always been to kill Yan Xiuchen and marry Jiang Qingwu."

"But now, Jiang Qingwu is already Yan Xiuchen's person. If we still have to spend so much effort on her, it's not worth it."

When Yan Lin heard the voice, his thoughts were instantly drawn away. He frowned slightly and snorted coldly.

"Humph, I thought he was a man of high moral character, self-discipline, and a man who values ​​reputation, but it turns out... he is just like this."

Yan Lin's eyes were sharp and his face was full of anger as he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Then he looked at Gu Yanbai, suddenly gave a strange smile, and moved closer to him.

"Sir, Jiang Qingwu has lost his backing and is no longer a force to be reckoned with."

"Tomorrow... I will send her to your bed..."

"It can be considered as... my way of thanking you for your help, sir."

Gu Yanbai's eyes flashed with a slight cold light, he raised his eyes and said calmly, "No need, I have no interest in her anymore."

"Besides, you just killed Yan Xiuchen. His regent army and trusted generals are scattered across the borders and are not a force to be reckoned with."

"But we must give the world an explanation."

"If we kill them all and cause trouble again... I'm afraid it won't end well."

Yan Lin's eyes changed color, and he smiled guiltily, "Sir, you are right. I will listen to you."

Gu Yanbai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, holding the wine glass and motioning to Yan Lin, "Time is running out, don't think about anything else, just do your business first."

"Yes, sir, I will enter the palace tomorrow."

The next morning, the news of Yan Xiuchen's death spread throughout the palace and the whole city knew about it.

According to Yan Lin, Yan Xiuchen was assassinated by the Fuye people and died of serious injuries.

However, there were many doubts about Yan Xiuchen's faction in the court, especially among several generals and ministers who were very loyal to Yan Xiuchen.

There was a fierce quarrel in Shangyang Palace.

"Assassination by the Fuye people? That's just nonsense. Everyone knows that you, the prince, led your troops into the palace last night..."

"The prince is going to reinforce..." Shen Chengshan blurted out, standing in the hall without changing his expression, and the people around him also echoed him.

"Yes, the prince is now assisting the country and commanding the military power in the capital. When something happened in the palace, the prince was just going to help."

"Hmph, you know best whether you are helping or not." Chen Chang, who is in charge of the North City Camp in the capital, is a reckless man.

If it were someone else, no one would dare to say anything once their backer died, but he was loyal to Yan Xiuchen, and now that he had encountered a sudden change, he really couldn't swallow this.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Lin spoke up, turning from the front and approaching.

"What does General Chen mean? Do you want to slander me and kill Uncle Wang?"

As soon as Yan Lin finished speaking, Shen Chengshan quickly echoed, "Chen Chang, you have no evidence, how dare you slander His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Someone, take it down..."

Chen Chang's face changed, and he hurriedly walked towards the emperor, "Your Majesty, please say something. The regent has served the country and the people for more than ten years, and his heart is in Dayan."

"Now he was plotted against by the crown prince and died in an unclear manner..."

While Chen Chang was still pleading, the emperor started to cry loudly.

She was covering her face and sobbing just now, but now her crying drowned out the arguments of the ministers.

Chen Chang suddenly stopped and stopped talking. He looked at the emperor in a daze.

"Royal brother, why...why did you leave?"

"If you leave, what will I do?"

The emperor couldn't stop crying, and the ministers looked at each other in dismay, then bowed, "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences."

Yan Lin laughed secretly and waved to the guards outside the door.

Then someone rushed into the hall and dragged Chen Chang out.

"Father, you don't have to be sad. I will take care of state affairs for you." Yan Lin was no longer shy about it.

In front of all the ministers, he swore his sovereignty and stood before the emperor.

"Chen Chang committed an offense against his superiors and behaved improperly. He shall be punished severely, stripped of his military power, and detained by the Ministry of Justice..."

"The Ministry of Rites will treat the funeral of Uncle Regent with great respect. If you have any questions, please feel free to speak up. I will definitely treat you fairly..."

"From now on, all matters that the uncle regent is in charge of, including the trivial matters of the former court and the harem, will be handled by me."

"My father is old and has suffered a lot of grief and fatigue. He needs to rest well. If there is nothing else to do, please do not disturb him."

Yan Lin's words finally made the emperor realize something, and he couldn't help but think of Chen Chang's words.

The emperor looked at Yan Lin's back, and before he could say anything, Yan Lin dismissed all the ministers in the hall.

In the end, only Shen Chengshan was left.

"Ahem..." Shen Chengshan couldn't help but remind Yan Lin when he saw the emperor's eyes fall on Yan Lin.

Yan Lin also came back to his senses and just looked at the emperor without any fear or humility.

"Father...why aren't you crying?"

The emperor looked at Yan Lin, his face darkening a little bit, and he stood up slowly in disbelief, "Is what Chen Chang said true?"

"What are you talking about, father? Uncle Wang has fought for the country and the people, but you want to say that I am the one who plotted against you..."

"Father, do you have any evidence?"

The emperor sneered, stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at the throne and scolded, "Is this what you want?"

"You are already the crown prince, and you actually... you actually dared to plot against the regent..."

Yan Lin looked at the dragon throne, walked over step by step, and chuckled, "Father is incompetent. In fact, it doesn't matter to you who sits on the throne."

"If the emperor can allow my uncle to be regent, why can't he allow me, a son, to rule the country?"

Yan Lin walked towards the dragon throne and sat on it while speaking. "But father is right. I am already the crown prince."

"This throne will belong to me sooner or later."
