Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen
Chapter 223 Is He Your Real Brother?
Gu Yanbai's eyes were firm and his voice was decisive.
Yan Xiuchen suddenly seemed to feel guilty and lowered his eyes.
Gu Yanbai gave a bitter smile, leaned against a pillar beside him, folded his arms and sighed softly.
"I played those jokes on Jiang Qingwu before just to piss her off. I didn't want her to continue investigating the person behind the scenes, nor did I want her to take risks for me."
"I left her in the palace today because I wanted to get her drunk for you and ask her why she has been ignoring you these days."
"But this girl's fuss has brought back my sad memories."
Gu Yanbai continued to talk to himself, then raised his eyes to look at Yan Xiuchen, "Even if you didn't say it, I would have guessed it."
"If you didn't want to kill me and abandon me, there wouldn't be many people in Dayan who want to get rid of me, who can get rid of me, who dare to get rid of me."
"Besides, it can erase all traces of me in Dayan."
As he spoke, Gu Yanbai walked towards Yan Xiuchen and said, "So many people died back then. The imperial court executed several families, including my grandfather's family, which had hundreds of people."
"Those implicated ranged from the imperial court to the imperial harem, numbering more than a thousand people."
"I used to think it had nothing to do with me, until I was thrown into Fuyeh, and then I vaguely realized that I was also involved, and very likely the center of it."
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be anyone who would keep pestering me for so many years."
Gu Yanbai pressed on step by step, repeatedly questioning, "I just want to know... why?"
"Why do you treat me like this? Why do you want to erase my traces?"
"Now, even in front of Jiang Qingwu, your beloved, you dare not speak of our relationship."
"Why exactly?"
Yan Xiuchen sighed helplessly, shook his head gently and said, "You also said that thousands of people were involved and several families were killed."
"This is a matter of great importance and involves a wide range of people..."
As he said that, Yan Xiuchen turned around and walked towards Gu Yanbai, lowering his voice and speaking earnestly, "Let's just forget about it...
"You are in the palace now, and I am by your side now, isn't that enough?"
"You couldn't bear to let Gu Qing get involved and take risks for you."
"Do I have the heart to let you risk your life?"
Gu Yanbai stared blankly at Yan Xiuchen who was pushing him back step by step. He sighed helplessly and let out a bitter smile.
"Okay, okay, I have nothing to say."
"But, if you tell Gu Qing about our relationship, who will be in danger and who will lose his life?"
"Isn't she the person you love the most? Isn't she the person you trust the most?"
"She made such a fuss today just to test our true relationship."
"You don't even dare to tell her?"
Yan Xiuchen paused, sighed softly, turned around and said, "She doesn't need to know."
"Heh!" Gu Yanbai snorted coldly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Jiang Qingwu walking outside the courtyard gate. He couldn't help but secretly smile evilly.
"You don't want to tell me, right? Fine, then don't blame me for ruining the beauty for you."
Yan Xiuchen frowned and turned to look at Gu Yanbai.
Just as he was wondering, Gu Yanbai grabbed his collar, took a few steps back, and leaned against the pillar behind him.
Yan Xiuchen staggered a few steps and would have fallen against the pillar if he had not quickly supported himself with his hands.
“What are you doing?!” Yan Xiuchen yelled and tried to pull away, but Gu Yanbai grabbed his collar tightly and pulled him into his arms.
There was a hint of unruly mockery on the corner of his mouth, "Actually...if you weren't my brother, I would really have feelings for you."
"You know, I'm not that old-fashioned. Gu Qing is right. It's not impossible to be with both men and women."
As he spoke, Gu Yanbai's gaze wandered over his face, a pair of affectionate eyes, becoming unscrupulous.
Yan Xiuchen's head buzzed, his heart skipped a beat, and he was a little confused for a moment.
With his brows furrowed, he looked at Gu Yanbai in disbelief, and was dazed for a moment.
He is naturally not the kind of person who can be attracted by men.
But at this moment, my heart couldn't control itself.
Just as he was at a loss and trying to break free in panic, Jiang Qingwu walked in.
Looking at the two people who were very intimate with each other, who pushed Gu Yanbai against the pillar, Jiang Qingwu's face turned pale as paper.
When Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu, he suddenly understood Gu Yanbai's intention. He suddenly pulled Gu Yanbai's hand away and walked towards Jiang Qingwu.
But the force he used to struggle was too great and he directly ripped off the buttons on his collar, making his clothes messy and making the scene even uglier.
Jiang Qingwu was so frightened and panicked that she ran out without waiting for Yan Xiuchen to come to her.
"Gu Qing, it's not what you think..."
Yan Xiuchen shouted, turned around and glared at Gu Yanbai.
Instead, Gu Yanbai smiled, folded his arms, and raised his eyebrows at him proudly.
"Hurry up and chase her. Think about how to explain it so that she won't misunderstand that we are in that kind of relationship."
Yan Xiuchen was extremely angry, he clenched his teeth, but looked helpless, turned around and left.
As night fell, Jiang Qingwu hurried out of the palace.
Walking on a long street with few people, my thoughts gradually calmed down, but I suddenly raised my hand and slapped myself.
Although it wasn't serious, he couldn't help but cover his face and hissed in pain.
"It hurts so much, this isn't a dream."
"Then you are seeing things wrong!"
Jiang Qingwu closed his eyes tightly, trying to forget the scene he had just seen, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the scene became even stronger.
All the things in the past, what happened, Gu Yanbai's jokes, Yan Xiuchen's explanations, all came to his mind at once.
What she felt before was an illusion.
What Gu Yanbai said made her misunderstand that it was a joke.
The scene I saw today must have been a mistake.
"Yes, Yan Xiuchen's explanation is correct. Gu Yanbai is just disgusting them and joking. He is that kind of person."
Jiang Qingwu walked, muttering to himself.
Just when I was distracted, Yan Xiuchen caught up with me, "Gu Qing..."
"Ah..." Jiang Qingwu was startled and his body trembled involuntarily.
When she turned around and saw Yan Xiuchen, she was startled again and subconsciously dodged his hand.
Yan Xiuchen's heart sank, but he still reached out and held her, "Gu Qing, listen to my explanation. This matter is not what you see."
"No, no, no, you, you don't have to explain. Let me digest it myself and think about it carefully."
Jiang Qingwu slowly withdrew her hand and turned to leave, but Yan Xiuchen blocked her way with a quick step.
"Believe me, do you think I would be someone who likes men?"
"He is indeed very important to me, even as important as you, but he is really just my brother. I treat him as my own brother..."
Jiang Qingwu stared at Yan Xiuchen steadily, his suspicion growing stronger and stronger. He slowly lowered his eyes, thinking about something.
"Brother, we are brothers... but we are not brothers after all."
"You don't have that kind of feeling towards him, but what about him? Is there some truth in his jokes?"
Jiang Qingwu said this, her words were half true and half false, she really did feel Gu Yanbai's feelings and cherishment for Yan Xiuchen.
It was fake because she didn't believe that Gu Yanbai would regard Yan Xiuchen as a romantic partner.
Yan Xiuchen sighed helplessly and shook his head, "He didn't, he wouldn't, it's impossible."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly and approached Yan Xiuchen, "Unless... he is your biological brother, otherwise, nothing is absolutely impossible."
"Is he your biological brother?"
Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth, but was suddenly speechless.
He stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, as if all the words were stuck in his throat.
