Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

"Girl, wake up, get up... Look, there are fireworks..."

Back then, in the Sanshui City dungeon.

Jiang Qingwu was helped up by Bai Asheng while he was sick. Looking at the fireworks outside the small window of the dungeon, he gradually became more sober.

"Fireworks? Is today... the fifteenth?"

"No, I heard from them that the Sang Kingdom occupied Sanshui City and set off fireworks to celebrate."

Bai Asheng lowered his voice, looked around at the thugs who seemed to be sleeping, and hugged Jiang Qingwu into his arms.

"Our Sanshui City is on the border, and we only set off fireworks during the Lantern Festival every year."

"I love the hustle and bustle, and I also like watching fireworks. I never miss it every year."

"I originally thought that if I died here, I wouldn't be able to see next year's fireworks."

Jiang Qingwu remembered the sound of fireworks exploding and smiled slightly, "I have been good at martial arts since I was a child, I don't like these..."

"Shanwu, you can also like these. You are a general, and you are also a girl..."

As he spoke, Bai Asheng pulled the man closer to him, "You were arrested for covering the army's retreat and rescuing the soldiers of Dayan."

"You can like more than ordinary women, because what you do is more amazing than what they do."

"So, if I will definitely let you leave here alive, you can save more people if you are alive."

Seeing Bai Asheng's dazed look and despair in his eyes, Jiang Qingwu sat up slightly and said, "We, we can all get out alive."

"After we get out, I'll take you back to the capital... I'll take you to see the more beautiful fireworks in the capital."

……

The fireworks lit up the night sky, brilliant and colorful.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the fireworks in the sky, and the memories filled with gloomy background came flooding back, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He said that he loves watching fireworks the most and will never miss the Lantern Festival fireworks every year.

He said that he was a general and also a girl, and he could like more things.

He also said that he wanted to be a general who fought in all directions and saved more people.

Now, he has placed himself in a position of power and persuaded himself that there is no need to fight.

He said he was a general and didn't like fireworks. He also claimed that he had never seen fireworks.

In that instant, Jiang Qingwu suddenly realized that the Bai Ruosheng beside him was not the Bai Asheng he knew.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu's eyes flashed with sharpness and suspicion, quietly concealing his scarlet eyes and the tears that were about to fall.

"Oh, by the way, just now...what did you say? The fireworks were too noisy, so I couldn't hear clearly."

Bai Ruosheng turned around and saw Jiang Qingwu in a daze, then he noticed his words and actions.

"It was my first time watching fireworks, and I was a little fascinated, so..."

Jiang Qingwu's thoughts raced quickly. He looked at Bai Ruosheng and quickly calmed himself down.

"Is this really your first time watching this? Doesn't Sanshui City... have fireworks and lantern festivals every month? Haven't you seen it?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at Bai Ruosheng quietly, waiting for his answer.

Bai Ruosheng didn't think much about it, he smiled and shook his head, "I... I don't go out very often. I grew up alone and I like to stay in the piano room. I have never been to the Lantern Festival."

Sanshui City only has one fireworks display every year, during the Lantern Festival.

Bai Asheng likes the hustle and bustle the most. He will go to lantern festivals and watch fireworks...

But if the person in front of him was Bai Asheng, why would he say something completely different?

But if not, how would she know that Bai Asheng grew up alone and liked to stay in the piano room, and how would she know about what happened in the Sanshui City dungeon.

Jiang Qingwu's heart was beating fast. He silently looked away and secretly clenched his fists.

She really wanted to rush up, grab his collar and ask him if he was Bai Asheng and who he was.

But her reason and instinct kept reminding her that she might not be able to get the truth out of him, let alone grabbing his clothes or even holding a knife.

Just when Jiang Qingwu was distracted, Xiao Liuzi suddenly rushed over and lowered his voice, "Girl, something is wrong."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly came back to his senses and followed Xiao Liuzi's gaze, looking towards the river.

Only then did I realize that the moat, which had few flower boats before, was now full of cruise ships.

What is suspicious is that these cruise ships are not flower boats, they have no lanterns and they don’t look like river cruises.

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened, and his face suddenly turned cold, "Wanyue, knife..."

"Girl, there's..." Wanyue shouted, and when she came over with a knife, the people on the cruise boats around her suddenly attacked.

They were wearing all kinds of clothes, but suddenly flew towards them from all directions.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the crossbow arrow flying towards him, pushed Bai Ruosheng away with his palm, and left with his sword drawn.

He jumped up, blocked the crossbow arrow, and cut the opponent's neck in mid-air.

Bai Ruosheng staggered and barely stood still. When he came to his senses, the killer had already boarded the boat.

Jiang Qingwu seemed to have gone bloodthirsty, with an inexplicable surge of rage in his heart, all of which he directed at the killer.

But when he turned around, he saw Bai Ruosheng struggling with the other party, and was forced into a corner by the killer with a knife.

"Brother Asheng..." Jiang Qingwu blurted out and rushed over subconsciously.

He turned around and pulled Bai Ruosheng over, standing in front of him, and took the hard blow for him.

Jiang Qingwu felt pain in the back of his shoulder, and he lost weight and fell on Bai Ruosheng, and they both fell to the ground.

She was clearly doubtful in her heart, but at that moment, she rushed over without hesitation and stood in front of him.

"Jiang Qingwu..." Bai Ruosheng was startled and blurted out. At that moment, his heart seemed to stop.

Looking at Jiang Qingwu who was pressing on him, his eyes were full of surprise and anxiety.

There was actually...someone who blocked the knife for him? !

Why would anyone care about his life or death? Why would anyone take the knife for him?

Bai Ruosheng was in a trance for a moment. While he was stunned, Xiao Liuzi and Wanyue rushed over in time and solved the trouble in front of him.

"Miss..." Wanyue rushed over and hurriedly supported Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu's body became heavier, and the knife wound on the back of his shoulder seemed to have cut his entire body in half.

"It's okay...it doesn't matter..." Jiang Qingwu murmured softly, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Girl...Boatman, come to the shore, come to the shore quickly..." Bai Ruosheng suddenly came to his senses when he heard Wanyue's voice.

He hurriedly got up, tore off the strip of cloth on his clothes, wrapped Jiang Qingwu's wound tightly to stop the bleeding, then took off his cloak and wrapped it tightly around her.

"Miss Wanyue, go, get her cloak..."

Wanyue left in a hurry, and Bai Ruosheng only then noticed that Jiang Qingwu was staring at him intently.

She was a little dazed.

Back in the dungeon, Bai Asheng had carefully looked at her wounds.

At that time, there was no medicine, so he could only take off his underwear and tear it into strips to bandage her wound.

Just like now.

At that time, she was shot by an arrow, the wound was in her left shoulder near the chest.

"How...how are you? Looking at me...what are you doing?"

"You are the same as you were back then..." Jiang Qingwu murmured, leaning gently against the deck and wrapping his clothes tightly around himself.

When he looked up at Bai Ruosheng, the light in his eyes gradually turned colder.

"If it weren't for you, my right arm would have been crippled."

Bai Ruosheng looked at Jiang Qingwu and nodded with an evasive look, "Let's not talk about the past. There's no need to keep remembering it."

Jiang Qingwu's heart sank when he heard the voice.

He didn't tell, could it really not be Bai Asheng?

The sounds of fighting gradually stopped, and the patrolling city guards quickly surrounded the remaining killers.

Seeing this, Bai Ruosheng carefully helped Jiang Qingwu up and said, "You know what? No one has ever cared about my life or death since I was a child."

"No one set off fireworks for me as a gift, and no one... would block the knife for me."

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly when he heard Bai Ruosheng's words. Looking at the dead bitterness on Bai Ruosheng's face, he sighed secretly.

"You are Bai Asheng. My life... was given by you. Everything I do for you is done willingly."

"What if I'm not?" Bai Ruosheng blurted out, paused and looked at Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Bai Ruosheng in disbelief.

Before she could answer, Bai Ruosheng smiled and then gently picked her up.

Jiang Qingwu did not refuse, nor was he able to resist. When he was about to say something, Bai Ruosheng spoke first.

"If I wasn't, you would have killed me."

"Because you should kill anyone who dares to lie to you."
