Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Perhaps it was because of what Gu Yanbai said that Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses.

He let go of Jiang Qingwu, looked him over, then frowned, turned around and shouted angrily at Gu Yanbai.

"Gu Yanbai!"

Gu Yanbai shuddered and was startled. "Why... why are you yelling at me?"

"Is this unharmed? Is this what I should be relieved of?"

Gu Yanbai stared at Yan Xiuchen in astonishment. Furious, he grabbed the horsewhip and hit Yan Xiuchen.

"You heartless thing, I saved her life, you know that?"

"You only have eyes for Jiang Qingwu. She is covered in blood, and I am also covered in wounds..."

While roaring, Gu Yanbai coughed violently twice, "Cough cough cough..."

Bai Ruosheng, who was standing nearby, saw this and hurried forward to smooth things over. "It's my fault for what happened today. If I hadn't gone to the mansion to take a look..."

"It's none of your business." Jiang Qingwu interrupted Bai Ruosheng and then hurriedly shouted to Xiao Liuzi who was not far away.

"Go find the imperial physician and have him check on the young master first, then Mr. Bai."

Jiang Qingwu explained to Yan Xiuchen, "Gu Yanbai's injury is more serious than mine. He has been in pain all the way. Let's go back home first."

After hearing Jiang Qingwu's words, Yan Xiuchen noticed that Gu Yanbai's face looked ugly.

Just as he was about to say something, Gu Yanbai glared at Yan Xiuchen fiercely and went straight to the palace.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the backs of Gu Yanbai and Bai Ruosheng, took off his cloak and wrapped it around Jiang Qingwu, "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen steadily, and lowered his voice, somewhat at a loss for words, "It's not my blood."

"It's...Shen Zhuoqi."

"He's dead. I killed him."

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly, then gently stroked the bloodstains left on Jiang Qingwu's neck, "If he's dead, he's dead. I'll take care of the aftermath."

"Shen Zhuoqi..." Jiang Qingwu murmured, thinking of his past life.

In his previous life, when Shen Zhuoran was alive and the Shen family was prosperous, Shen Zhuoqi was not taken seriously at all. He always lived a very depressed life and had no status in the Shen family.

At the beginning, she also wanted to persuade Shen Zhuoqi to stay out of it.

But from his point of view, being valued by Shen Chengshan might be his greatest hope.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu distracted, Yan Xiuchen seemed to see through something.

"He chose his own path, so he can't blame others."

"If you don't kill him, he will kill you..."

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, and seeing Yan Xiuchen's serious face, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "You're not going to kill me, you're going to kill your Aze."

"If I had been a step slower, your dearest and most beloved brother would have been stabbed."

Jiang Qingwu raised a playful smile and turned away.

Yan Xiuchen sighed helplessly and followed him, "Are you jealous? You need to change this habit..."

Beiyuan Wing.

After the imperial physician left, Yan Xiuchen sent away the servants in the room and sat down next to Gu Yanbai.

"Tell me what's going on."

Gu Yanbai glanced at Yan Xiuchen unhappily and gestured to him to pour tea.

Yan Xiuchen sneered softly, then obediently poured the tea and brought it to Gu Yanbai.

"Apologize." Gu Yanbai picked up the teacup and refused to give in.

Yan Xiuchen was startled, "What are you apologizing for?"

"You blame me, shouldn't you apologize? If it weren't for me, the little girl would definitely be hurt."

Yan Xiuchen thought of what Jiang Qingwu had said outside the gate just now, and said with a helpless smile, "You two, team up to deal with me, right?"

"Okay, I apologize. Thanks to you, Gu Qing wasn't hurt."

"Okay, tell me, what happened today, and how did Shen Zhuoqi know where you were."

Gu Yanbai also became serious when he heard the voice. Thinking about what happened before, he said thoughtfully, "This matter... is inseparable from Bai Ruosheng."

"There were two groups of people. One group was coming towards me. They were very strong and quick to attack. It was as if they knew that there were Red Guards around me. They just wanted to end the battle quickly."

"Another group of people are coming for Gu Qing. Shen Zhuoqi is leading them personally, plus a burden. Every move they make is deadly."

Yan Xiuchen quietly watched Gu Yanbai's analysis and nodded slightly, "Then what does this have to do with Bai Ruosheng..."

Gu Yanbai was annoyed and slammed the table, "Are you just like that girl, confused by Bai Ruosheng's face?"

"The people that the Shen family and Yan Lin hate the most are me and Gu Qing."

"These two groups of people were also coming for us. How did they know when we would come, how many people would come, and who opened the back door of the house?"

"Let me tell you this, I suspect Bai Ruosheng leaked the information to them."

Hearing Gu Yanbai's words, Yan Xiuchen was slightly puzzled, "What's his purpose? What's his identity? Why would he do this without any grudges?"

"There must be someone behind him, and...it's coming for me, or for you."

Hearing this, Yan Xiuchen seemed to have understood everything.

I understood what happened today and guessed who was behind Bai Ruosheng.

Naturally, all these speculations are based on Bai Ruosheng... which is fake.

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly, his heart was in turmoil, but his face was calm.

"You don't doubt that he was sent by the Shen family, and you don't doubt that he came for Gu Qing."

Gu Yanbai chuckled and shook his head with contempt, "The Shen family doesn't have the ability to change a person's appearance, this is one of the reasons."

"Secondly, if they were really from the Shen family, they wouldn't just let Shen Zhuoqi come..."

"As for what you said, targeting Gu Qing... Ha, if it was aimed at Gu Qing, there would be plenty of opportunities to attack her in the next two days."

Gu Yanbai thought of what happened in the house and chuckled, "Looking at the way he sacrificed his life today, I think he was trying to play a trick, just to gain trust and take advantage of Gu Qing."

"If they were targeting me, they must be the one who had always wanted to kill me. Seeing that there were Red Guards around me, it was difficult to kill me, so they sent people to use a soft approach."

"If they are coming for you... I'm afraid they are the Queen and the Second Prince's men."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai seemed to remember something and moved closer to Yan Xiuchen.

"By the way, there's one more thing..."

"When I rushed back to save Gu Qing, I saw Bai Ruosheng holding a golden hairpin in his hand. It should have been given to him by Gu Qing..."

As Gu Yanbai spoke, he took out the jade flute from his waist and gestured to Yan Xiuchen, "He holds the golden hairpin... like this."

Yan Xiuchen looked at the way Gu Yanbai held the flute, and his brows suddenly frowned.

That's the posture of holding a dagger.

"And when I looked at him the second time, he had thrown the hairpin away."

As Gu Yanbai spoke, he silently put down the flute and a light laugh was heard.

"Although this cannot be considered as evidence, my intuition tells me that this Bai Ruosheng is definitely not the Bai Ruosheng I have seen."

"It's definitely not that he was protecting Gu Qingde Bai Asheng in the dungeon."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai steadily. Although he didn't say anything, he already believed Gu Yanbai in his heart.

His brothers, who grew up with him, naturally believed in his ability to discern.

only……

Gu Yanbai saw Yan Xiuchen's hesitation and saw through his thoughts.

"I know that you believe in me in your heart."

"You can only perceive and think of more and more accurately than I can."

"It's just that now is not the time to expose him."

"So Qing treated him as Bai Asheng, and was full of joy and wanted to make up for everything..."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai sighed softly, stood up and walked towards the window, his whole body suddenly feeling heavy.

"I just..." Gu Yanbai murmured with a bitter laugh, "It would be fine if Bai Ahsheng really died."

"If he's not dead, if he falls into someone else's hands..."

"I do feel a little... sorry for him."

Yan Xiuchen felt upset when he heard this, and secretly clenched his fists, "It's more than just... I feel heartbroken..."

"Who do you feel sorry for..." Jiang Qingwu's voice suddenly came, with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
