Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

What Yan Lin said was right. The emperor also knew that with power in his hands, he was like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Seeing that the Shangyang Palace was full of Yan Lin's men, he couldn't help but sway and hurriedly held onto the corner of the table.

"The late emperor was right... I have no one who can succeed me."

When Yan Lin heard the voice, his eyes suddenly changed and his gaze became fierce. Gu Yanbai, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but look at the emperor.

"No one can succeed the throne? The late emperor is really partial?"

Yan Lin sneered and stood up to approach him angrily, "If it weren't for the rule of establishing the eldest son or the heir, would it be your turn to be the emperor?"

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Yan Lin, and glanced at him with contempt, "You are my son. If it is not my turn, then who are you?"

Yan Lin was choked by the emperor's words and looked grim.

"Father, I thought you were incompetent, foolish, and timid. How dare you argue with me now?"

Yan Lin put his hands behind his back, walked down from the dragon throne and approached the emperor.

"Humph, I am confused and stupid, otherwise I would not have let you suffer this day."

"I dare not argue with others, but you... are my son. You will be punished by heaven for disobeying your father like this."

Yan Lin secretly clenched his fist and pointed to the top of his head, "God's punishment? Come on, do you think I'm afraid?"

"Father, you are the ruler of the country, but the Regent is acting beyond his authority. Will he also be punished by God?"

"What do you know? The Regent is destined by heaven. Who do you think you are?"

In anger, Yan Lin grabbed the emperor's collar.

"What did you say? What destiny? Why is he the destiny and I am just a thing?"

"If he was destined to be king, he wouldn't be just a regent, and he wouldn't be lying there like a corpse now."

"I am the one destined by heaven."

The emperor looked at Yan Lin who was grabbing his clothes and sneered without panic, "You? You only know how to use some insidious means."

"You hid in the back during the war, used Dayan as a bargaining chip to trade with the enemy, and treated the people as worthless."

"I now truly believe that it was you who colluded with the enemy country in the Xiling battlefield to frame Jiang Qingwu, the Jiang family army, and Yan Xiuchen."

"What the Queen Mother said is right, what the Queen said is right, I am the one who is wrong, I believed the Imperial Concubine, you are a loyal and talented person, that's why I have been lenient with you again and again."

As he spoke, the emperor lowered his eyes slightly and muttered thoughtfully.

"And the regent, who was already a teenager, fought on the battlefield and governed the country well. The common people and the thousands of soldiers and horses were no problem to him."

"The position of regent was the will of the late emperor. I begged him to do it."

"If the incident had not happened that year, the throne would have belonged to Yan Xiuchen, and today would not have happened."

Yan Lin was still feeling helpless and angry, but Gu Yanbai, who was not far away, suddenly changed his expression after hearing what the emperor said, and interrupted the two of them.

"It seems that the late emperor was also an incompetent and stupid person."

When the emperor and Yan Lin heard Gu Yanbai suddenly speaking, they couldn't help but look over.

"What did you say?" The emperor was stunned and walked towards him.

Gu Yanbai raised his head slightly, leaned back in his chair calmly, and chuckled with some disdain.

"I think it's probably because the late emperor was incompetent. No matter what happened..."

"If I had known that you were incapable of taking power, I would have given the throne directly to Yan Xiuchen, and nothing would have happened today."

The emperor snorted coldly, his eyes darkened, "Yes, the late emperor should have given the throne to Yan Xiuchen."

"Then why did you become the emperor?" Gu Yanbai stared at the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Gu Yanbai, then came back to his senses and immediately looked away from Gu Yanbai.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai became annoyed. He suddenly stood up, pulled out the sword from the guard Yan Lin, and put it on the emperor's neck.

The emperor trembled, his face turned pale, and for a moment he couldn't even speak clearly.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"I want you to look at me carefully, carefully, and see if you recognize me."

The emperor stared at Gu Yanbai in a daze, and shook his head in a daze, "No... I don't know him."

He left the palace at the age of fourteen, and he didn't know how many people in the palace still remembered him.

I think there is not a single one left.

Gu Yanbai sneered upon hearing this and nodded slightly, "That's right, you and I have no friendship. When I was born, you had already left the palace and started your own residence."

"I haven't seen it many times."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai moved his sword closer to the emperor's neck.

The blade was so sharp that it faintly cut the emperor's flesh.

"Sir, don't kill him..." Shen Chengshan shouted behind him, and Yan Lin also looked nervous.

When Gu Yanbai heard Shen Chengshan's words, he did not restrain himself at all and looked at the emperor with sharp eyes.

"Now answer my question."

"Did the late emperor intend to make Yan Xiuchen the emperor? What happened? Why did you sit on the throne?"

The emperor swallowed his saliva, not daring to make a sound or move.

Can only be silent.

"I guess this is a royal secret, right? I guess your majesty must have sworn to the late emperor not to speak of it."

Hearing the voice, the emperor looked at Gu Yanbai with slightly bright pupils and nodded silently.

"Sir, what on earth are you talking about? Why are you asking this?"

Yan Lin asked in confusion. Just as he was about to approach, Gu Yanbai shouted, "Stop."

"Your Highness, don't be nervous. Even if the emperor dies, it will not affect your ascension to the throne."

"It's nothing that the emperor died suddenly from a serious illness."

When the emperor heard Gu Yanbai's words, he suddenly became a little scared, his face turned pale and he began to hesitate.

"You... who are you? Why do you have to know..."

"I asked you to answer..." Gu Yanbai blurted out.

The emperor hesitated, looked at the sword on his neck, and finally spoke.

"The late emperor... the late emperor did want to give the throne to Yan Xiuchen..."

"However, Yan Xiuchen accompanied the late emperor to the battlefield in the East Territory and suddenly changed his mind..."

"After I came back..."

Gu Yanbai's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he urged angrily, "What? Say it!"

"After returning from the Eastern Territory, Yan Xiuchen disappeared inexplicably. Rumor has it... that Yan Xiuchen was seriously poisoned and dying..."

"No one knows what happened, and no one knows where he is?"

"Later, the late emperor changed his will and made me the crown prince, and I ascended the throne immediately."

As he spoke, the emperor sighed secretly, smiled helplessly and said, "Everyone thought he was dead."

"But a year later, when the late emperor passed away, he suddenly appeared."

"In accordance with the will, Yan Xiuchen... is the regent."

Gu Yanbai listened to the emperor's words, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly, "Poisoned? Seriously injured?"

"Just a rumor? How can you be sure..."

Upon hearing this, the emperor quickly said, "When the late emperor passed away, he was skinny and covered with wounds, and couldn't even walk..."

"Later, it took more than half a year for him to gradually recover."
