Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

After leaving Fuyunxuan, Su Wenli glanced secretly at Yan Xiuchen, followed his footsteps, and spoke slowly and in a low voice.

"Your Highness, do you have something to ask me?"

Yan Xiuchen said nothing, walked a distance, and stopped in the garden.

"I have worked with you before and know that you are not good at lying."

"Where did you and Gu Qing go today? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Su Wenli looked at Yan Xiuchen, speechless for a moment, opened his mouth, smiled helplessly, and said, "Your Highness really has a good eye for people."

"Awu and I did go swimming, but I promised Awu that I would not tell you where we went or what we did."

"Your Highness wants to know. You should be able to find out tomorrow...tomorrow."

"As for why she didn't come back, it was probably because she saw the carriage from the palace."

As he spoke, Su Wenli walked closer to Yan Xiuchen and said, "Your Highness, I don't know what the grudge between you and Awu is."

"She is indeed different today. It seems like she has been wronged and has a lot of anger that she can't vent."

Yan Xiuchen naturally knew what injustice she had suffered and why she was so angry.

I also understood why she was hiding from me.

"Your Highness, is there anything wrong?" Su Wenli asked cautiously.

Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses, looked at Su Wenli, and continued to walk forward, "If you meet her, send a message for me."

"Just say that Gu Yanbai's poison has been cured, and he will live in the palace permanently from now on."

Su Wenli was a little stunned. Looking at Yan Xiuchen's quick back, he paused in a daze.

Yan Xiuchen originally wanted to meet Jiang Qingwu to ease the previous unpleasantness, but he didn't expect that he didn't even see her.

Along the way, he was uneasy and worried.

When I returned to the palace, I didn't even notice Gu Yanbai drinking by the lake.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen was about to enter the house, Gu Yanbai stopped him.

"Hey, you treat me like air. I'm such a big person, but you can't see me."

Yan Xiuchen came to his senses after hearing the voice, turned around to look at Gu Yanbai, and walked towards him.

"Have you been drinking? Are you healed?"

Yan Xiuchen asked, walked over and took the wine glass from Gu Yanbai's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

He took the wine jug in front of him and sat opposite him.

Gu Yanbai stared at Yan Xiuchen in a daze. Seeing that his wine glass and wine pot were gone, he couldn't help but sit towards him.

Just as he was about to take the wine jug, Yan Xiuchen took it away first.

"You are injured, I will drink for you." As he said that, Yan Xiuchen drank one cup after another.

Gu Yanbai noticed something was wrong and raised his hand to take the wine from his hand, "You, you, you...what's wrong with you?"

"Did you get mad at the Emperor? Or...did you have a fight with Gu Qing?"

"You've never done this before. It's not like you to drink to drown your sorrows. You've never done that."

Yes, Yan Xiuchen has always been aloof and self-disciplined. He never allows himself to be unruly or cross the line, and he almost never gets drunk to relieve his sorrow.

Seeing Gu Yanbai holding the wine pot tightly, Yan Xiuchen laughed bitterly, "Since it has never happened before, it doesn't hurt to be unbridled once."

As he said that, he took the wine jug from Gu Yanbai's hand.

Gu Yanbai looked at the gloom and bitterness in Yan Xiuchen's eyes, and felt as if he was hit by broken glass and was covered with bruises.

Drinking glass after glass of wine made Gu Yanbai feel confused and distressed.

I couldn't help but ask the reason.

"After you finished your work, did you go to see Gu Qing? Did you have a quarrel?"

"why?"

Yan Xiuchen shook his head slightly, muttering irrelevantly, "She is not like those other women."

"She is a person who can live with me, and can also live without me."

"It's not that she can't leave me, it's me... who can't leave her."

"Even in my last life, it seems like I will never be able to be free and easy around her..."

"I'm really scared... I'm afraid she will really blame me, hate me, and never talk to me again..."

"But I, I really have no choice. I don't know what I should do to protect everyone and make sure everyone has a good destination."

Yan Xiuchen talked to himself, and every sentence was mixed with a glass of strong liquor.

After a while, he was really drunk.

Although he didn't say why, Gu Yanbai could tell that it was indeed because of Jiang Qingwu.

"Brother... stop drinking." Gu Yanbai said, standing up and taking away the wine jar and wine jug beside him.

A jar of wine is already empty.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen pulled Gu Yanbai back to his seat.

"I'm not drunk. I can't drink as much as you, but not this bad..."

Yan Xiuchen said with a chuckle, "Sometimes, I am very grateful to God."

"If it weren't for this time again, I would never see you again."

"I will never see Gu Qing again."

"Aze..." Yan Xiuchen called in a low voice and poured a glass of wine for Gu Yanbai, "I am sorry for you... She is right."

"What I can give may not be what you want."

"But I can't give you what you want."

Yan Xiuchen said this and drank the wine in his glass.

Gu Yanbai was also stunned when he heard this.

"What do you mean, what you can give is not what I want."

"Do you know what I want?"

Yan Xiuchen nodded and sighed softly, "I want revenge, I want the truth, I want to find out everything, I want to live clearly..."

Yan Xiuchen let out a bitter laugh, shook his head gently, and slowly stood up.

Jiuhan saw Yan Xiuchen get up and leave, and hurried over to help him.

But although Yan Xiuchen staggered, he still pushed away the hand that Jiuhan extended to him.

"No, brother..." Gu Yanbai's voice suddenly came from behind.

Yan Xiuchen, who had walked a long way, paused in a daze. When he turned around to look, he almost fell down.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai quickly chased after him and hurriedly supported him.

"You haven't slept or eaten for two days and one night, and you drank a jar of wine first. Are you out of your mind?"

Gu Yanbai scolded in a low voice, tucked the flute into his waist, and helped Yan Xiuchen into the house.

"Jiuhan, ask Tanxi to cook some hangover soup..."

"Yes, son."

"What kind of hangover soup do you want to drink? I'm not drunk, I'm just a little dizzy."

Although he said this, he was staggering, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and even his eyes were a little confused.

"Yes, yes, I'm not drunk. All drunk people say they're not drunk."

As Gu Yanbai was speaking, he seemed to remember something and let out a low laugh.

"Many years ago, when we first stole wine, remember?"

"You have a really poor alcohol tolerance. You only had two drinks and you are now like this."

"Now his alcohol tolerance has improved a lot. He drinks so much."

Gu Yanbai said this as he helped the person into the inner room.

"He's getting heavier and heavier, but he still says he's not drunk." Gu Yanbai muttered as he carefully sent the man to the bed.

"call……"

"I'm drunk, too? Too tired."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen, who was lying on the bed with his eyelids difficult to open.

It felt like something in her heart was melted by fire. She took off Yan Xiuchen's shoes and outer robe and pulled the quilt over him.

"Before... you were the one who took care of me. As your younger brother, I never took care of you once..."

"You are not...Aze..." Yan Xiuchen murmured in a low voice, but his voice was too soft and Gu Yanbai could not hear it clearly.

"What did you say? Brother, I didn't hear you clearly."

Yan Xiuchen was awakened a little, and the secret sealed deep in his heart was suppressed after he became half sober.

"Aze..." Yan Xiuchen called in a low voice, grabbed Gu Yanbai's arm and pulled him to his side.

Gu Yanbai suddenly lowered his body and put his ear closer in confusion, "What do you want to say? I'm listening."

"Before, I just hoped you could survive..."

"Now, I just want you to be happy... Aze, the truth... is really not important."
