Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

It was past the hour of Xu, and there were fewer people on the water street.

The ferryman accepted the silver ingot from the boss, and without saying a word, he took Su Wenli and Gu Yanbai on the boat.

The boat slid quietly along the water street towards the moat. Su Wenli, sitting under the awning, looked around and couldn't help but look at Gu Yanbai.

"Now, it's just you and me. Mr. Gu, please feel free to talk about anything."

"Hey, don't be nervous, it's just a private matter." Gu Yanbai said with a smile, poured himself a glass of wine and handed it to Su Wenli.

Su Wenli looked at Gu Yanbai in confusion, and guessed in his mind all the things he might say, but he was still not sure about anything.

"It's... for Awu."

Gu Yanbai raised the corner of his lips slightly and nodded, "Yes, it's for Gu Qing..."

"Actually, there are some things that are inappropriate for the two of us to say here, but..."

"Off the top of our heads, we are all friends and we are all in the same boat."

"To put it simply, Yan Xiuchen, Gu Qing and I have known each other since we were young, so we are close friends. It's okay."

Su Wenli nodded slightly, raised the corner of his lips and said, "Let's get straight to the point. Just say it."

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai's smile gradually faded, "What did you say to Gu Qing?"

"She and Yan Xiuchen were originally married and lived in harmony. Why did they become cold without any reason after being alone with you for two days?"

"It's not about the relationship between men and women, it's just that this is too strange."

Su Wenli was stunned at first, then nodded and chuckled.

"I thought you were going to tell me not to have any romantic feelings towards Ah Wu and to persuade me to let go. It turns out you were talking about this."

"It's really inappropriate for the two of us to talk about these things."

Hearing this, Gu Yanbai blurted out, "Of course I know, but... the person who tied the bell must untie it, so naturally I have to ask you."

Su Wenli sighed softly, picked up the wine glass with some hesitation and drank it all, "You ask me... why don't you ask yourself..."

"What?" Gu Yanbai looked stunned.

"What is your relationship with His Highness, and what do you think of Ah Wu?"

"Are you and His Highness as close as brothers, or are you as close as Longyang?"

"Are you and Awu like brothers or childhood sweethearts?"

Su Wenli asked repeatedly, leaned forward, and looked at Gu Yanbai with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly..."

"I can see clearly that you love and care for Ah Wu, and you also have special feelings for His Highness."

"We are as close as brothers, or as close as brothers, but we can't do this..."

Seeing Gu Yanbai in a daze, Su Wenli picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Gu Yanbai.

"You come to ask me what I said to Awu? In fact, you can ask yourself, ask Your Highness, whether you did anything more or less?"

As he spoke, Su Wenli raised his glass and gestured to Gu Yanbai, "I toast to you."

Su Wenli raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing Gu Yanbai staring at him absent-mindedly, he sneered slightly and looked around.

"It's getting late. I should go back." Su Wenli said as he slowly stood up, bowed slightly to Gu Yanbai, then walked out of the boat awning and jumped onto the shore with his light Kung Fu skills.

When the boat was shaking slightly due to the force, Gu Yanbai finally came to his senses.

He originally came to question and wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, but was choked speechless by Gu Yanbai's words.

Looking at the carriage gradually disappearing on the shore, Gu Yanbai let out a self-deprecating sneer.

"Are these questions difficult to answer? You were actually stumped by his questions."

Gu Yanbai was extremely annoyed and grabbed the wine glass and drank it all.

At midnight, Gu Yanbai was a little drunk and walked back to the palace alone with a small jar of wine in his hand.

There is no curfew in the capital, but at midnight, there are not many people on the streets.

Just as Gu Yanbai staggered toward the vicinity of the palace, he suddenly saw a black shadow leap out from the west garden of the palace and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yanbai's heart tightened and he instantly became a little more sober. He jumped onto the roof with his lightness skills and looked around for something.

Just when he was about to give up, he noticed a dark shadow approaching rapidly in the distance.

Gu Yanbai was good at light work. After approaching silently, he faintly heard something.

"That guy dared to play tricks on me... Keep an eye on him... Don't let him die!"

The scolding was very low, yet clear and fragmented in the dead of night.

Gu Yanbai only heard one sentence before he was discovered by the other party.

The other party flashed, approached him, and attacked directly.

Gu Yanbai was horrified and saw the other person's attire.

The man with black wings and black robe and mask was the one who stopped him on the street that day and warned him that he would kill Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Qingwu.

Gu Yanbai was shocked, and the drunkenness was mostly gone.

Although his martial arts skills are not as good as his Qinggong skills, he is not a third-rate person either.

But he didn't know whether it was because the opponent was too strong or he had drunk some wine, but after chasing him for two blocks, he was no match for him and was knocked off the roof by one palm.

With a "plop" sound, Gu Yanbai covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

By the time I came to my senses, the other party had already slapped me.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai was about to stand up when two figures suddenly blocked his way.

It was the Red Guards. Four of them stood in front of him, blocking the opponent's attack.

When the other party saw that someone was helping him, he took a few steps back and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Young Master..." Chi Hongwei turned back and hurriedly helped Gu Yanbai up.

The palace? Bai Ruosheng?!

When Gu Yanbai saw the other party disappear in the direction of the Regent's Palace, he had only one thought in his mind.

Then he pushed Chihongwei away, covered his chest, and hurried back to the palace.

Instead of going through the main gate, Gu Yanbai climbed over the courtyard wall, jumped over the roof, and went to South Garden as fast as he could.

As soon as I entered the yard, I bumped into the maid A'luo who was serving me.

"Young Master..." A'Luo came out of the bathroom carrying a basin of water and bowed to Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai paused and asked, "Where is Bai Ruosheng?"

"Young Master Bai is taking a medicinal bath. The imperial physician said..." Before A'Luo could finish her words, Gu Yanbai pushed her away and went straight to the bathroom.

"Hey, Young Master... Young Master..." A'Luo shouted repeatedly and chased after Gu Yanbai.

Just as Gu Yanbai was about to push the door open and rush in, A'Luo's shout startled Jiang Qingwu and Yan Xiuchen in the side room.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qingwu hurried over and asked, and Yan Xiuchen followed closely.

Gu Yanbai looked at the two of them, without saying anything, he pushed the door open with a staggering step.

With a "bang", Jiang Qingwu and Yan Xiuchen rushed over hurriedly.

"Gu Yanbai, what are you doing? The imperial physician said that this medicinal bath cannot be interrupted... Why...why do you look so grim?"

Jiang Qingwu seemed to have noticed something and looked at Gu Yanbai.

Yan Xiuchen also immediately grabbed Gu Yanbai and said, "What happened? What happened to you? Are you... injured?"

Gu Yanbai wanted to break free, but couldn't. However, at this moment, he had no evidence and couldn't say anything.

"It's nothing. I just want to see Bai Ruosheng." As he said that, Gu Yanbai suddenly pushed Yan Xiuchen away and rushed in.

But as soon as he entered the room, Bai Ruosheng came out from behind the screen, wrapped in a wet pajamas.

"What's wrong? What happened? Mr. Gu...you, you're looking for me?"
