Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The inner prison in the palace holds all kinds of people who have committed crimes in the palace.

From the imperial physicians and the general managers of various departments to the imperial guards and palace gate guards.

When Gu Yanbai woke up, he was already in the inner prison.

His hands and feet were shackled, and the clanking chains could not be dragged away.

He is affiliated with the Imperial Guard and is under the jurisdiction of Jiang Qingbai, but the people guarding him are from the Qin family.

"A mere chief of the inner prison dares to torture me?" Gu Yanbai sat at the table in the cell, his eyes full of contempt as he looked at the guards who were about to take him to the torture room.

The head of the inner prison, Qin Guang, seemed like a ruthless man. He suddenly pulled out a whip from his waist.

The teapot and teacups hit the table with a "bang" and shattered to the ground.

"Why are you so arrogant? If you dare to assassinate the current queen, even the regent can't save you..."

"If I don't torture you, how can I know if there are people behind you who are instigating you or your accomplices?"

"I tell you, murdering the queen means killing you here, and that's reasonable."

As he spoke, Qin Guang shouted angrily at the two people behind him, "What are you standing there for? Take them away."

Hearing the voice, the two men strode towards Gu Yanbai.

Seeing two people coming to pull him with great force, Gu Yanbai sneered, raised his hand, wrapped the chain around one of them's neck, and with a little force, strangled the man to the ground.

Before the other person could react, Gu Yanbai slapped the other person on the neck.

Qin Guang suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone come..."

"Looking at the guards pouring in, Gu Yanbai sighed deeply, his eyes filled with ruthlessness and murderous intent.

"It is reasonable to kill me here."

"But I can kill you all and still be safe..."

Qin Guang's eyes were full of anger, and he waved his hand at the people behind him, "Murdering the queen, trying to escape from prison, arrest..."

When everyone heard the sound, they were about to rush over when they heard Jiang Qingwu's shout from behind.

"stop!"

When he heard Jiang Qingwu's voice, the coldness on Gu Yanbai's face disappeared instantly.

Qin Guang and the others also put away their swords immediately.

"Meet Miss Jiang."

"How dare you! The assassination has not been investigated yet, and His Highness has not issued an order yet. How should we deal with it?"

"How dare you, a small director, resort to lynching?"

Qin Guang heard the voice and glanced at the cell. "My dear lady, it was Gu Yanbai who injured the guard first, and then we..."

"You're talking nonsense..." Gu Yanbai blurted out and walked over with big strides.

He had only walked halfway when he realized that the chain was not long enough, and then he shook his hand at Jiang Qingwu with a look of grievance.

"Look at me, I'm already like this, how could I possibly cause trouble..."

"Yes..." As he said that, Gu Yanbai turned around and kicked the two unconscious guards on the ground twice, then looked at Jiang Qingwu with a pitiful pout.

"It was them...they wanted to kill me, so I fought back."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai and couldn't help laughing, but then he suppressed his smile and cleared his throat.

"You all go out, I have something to tell him."

"Carry those two people out too..."

Even though Qin Guang was reluctant, he dared not disobey Jiang Qingwu's orders.

"……Yes."

Seeing Qin Guang and the guards leave, Jiang Qingwu winked at Wanyue behind him.

Wanyue immediately understood something and quickly walked outside.

"With Wanyue watching, no one will come in. What happened?"

Jiang Qingwu walked quickly into the prison door and walked towards Gu Yanbai.

I wanted to open his handcuffs, but then I remembered that I forgot to ask Qin Guang for the key to the handcuffs.

"You...you don't have the key. Why don't you take the key? How can I tell you if you don't let me go?"

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu seriously, blinking his eyes and shaking off the handcuffs on his hands.

Jiang Qingwu opened his mouth and couldn't help but sigh, "This... this chain only tied your hands, but didn't block your mouth. Why can't you speak?"

"Who said they only tied my hands, but also my feet... feet, ah..." Gu Yanbai muttered, stretching his legs and shaking them towards Jiang Qingwu with a wronged look.

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but sneer when he saw this.

"You're still laughing, and you don't feel sorry for me. This thing is very heavy. My hands and feet are all rubbed raw... Look, look..."

"Shut up and speak quickly..." Jiang Qingwu suddenly interrupted Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai sighed and sat down on the stool with a plop. "No, I'm tired of standing. My feet and hands hurt..."

"I'm locked up in this place, and Yan Xiuchen doesn't even come to see me. He has no conscience."

"You're here, but you don't feel sorry for me."

"What are you doing here? Just leave me alone and let me suffer here."

"My clothes are all smelly. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning until this time today."

"Some people come and just ask questions, without bringing clothes or food..."

Jiang Qingwu listened to this and felt sorry for this guy, but at the same time he felt helpless about his incessant chattering.

"Isn't Yan Xiuchen here?"

"No." Gu Yanbai echoed in a low voice, sounding pitiful.

Jiang Qingwu sighed and leaned over to sit on a chair beside him. "I was too anxious and didn't think too much about it."

"I don't plan on having you stay here forever, so why not bring some clothes or food?"

"Besides, I'm still injured. Let me feel sorry for you. Can you also feel sorry for me?"

Gu Yanbai listened, reacted, turned around and looked at Jiang Qingwu, "Are you okay? Last night..."

"What on earth did the Shen family do? Why did you..."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Tell me what happened so I can save you."

Gu Yanbai rolled his eyes and sighed, "Forget it. Since you came to save me so anxiously, I feel sorry for you."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai's gaze fell on Jiang Qingwu's head, and then he suddenly reached out and plucked out a plain gold hairpin from her head.

"Hey..." Jiang Qingwu blurted out, and then he found that Gu Yanbai was using a hairpin to open his lock.

"After the queen left last night, Achen asked me to follow the queen to see how she would deal with the Shen brothers and sisters."

"I followed her halfway and found out that the queen had let Shen Zhuowen go."

"I wanted to follow, but two men in black blocked my way."

"It should be someone from the Shen family, trying to cover up Shen Zhuowen's escape."

Jiang Qingwu thought thoughtfully, then leaned towards him, "Then what, where is Shen Wanrong?"

"She must have been brought into the palace by the Queen..."

"I lost Shen Zhuowen and turned back to the palace."

"When we sneaked into the Queen's palace, all the palace servants were sent away."

"I wanted to sneak into the hall to investigate, but as soon as I entered, I was knocked unconscious by a man in black."

Man in black? !

Jiang Qingwu panicked and grabbed Gu Yanbai's wrist, "Is the man in black Bai Ruosheng?"

Gu Yanbai was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Qingwu's hand, smiled slightly, and moved closer to it, "Do you hope it's him, or not?"

Jiang Qingwu came back to her senses and couldn't help but sigh. As soon as she let go of her hand, Gu Yanbai grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Looking at Jiang Qingwu, Gu Yanbai's eyes suddenly became hot and uneasy.

He couldn't help but think of the voice that came into his ears before he lost consciousness.

[Humph, Prince Zen? A child of destiny? Without Yan Xiuchen... you are nothing. ]

[If I kill the queen, I can also get rid of you... I have completed two tasks at once...]

[Now, only Jiang Qingwu is left...]

[You like her too, right? Haha, it’s a pity... she’s mine! ]
