Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

At that time, taking advantage of the cover of night, a small team of people dressed as royal guards went to the inner prison dungeon in a mighty manner.

Gu Yanbai heard the noise but ignored it.

Until the people outside opened the chain of the prison door and stood in front of his wooden bed in a dark mass.

"Mr. Gu, please come with us."

Gu Yanbai raised his eyes slightly and looked at a few people.

Although they were all dressed as imperial guards, Gu Yanbai guessed their identities from their body shapes and steps, as well as their ferocious looks.

"I really want to go with you, and I also want to meet the big man behind the scenes, but I'm afraid... someone won't let you do what you want."

Hearing the voice, several people looked at each other, then rushed towards Gu Yanbai at the same time, tied his hands, and dragged him away.

But as soon as he came out of the inner prison dungeon, he was frightened by the fire outside and stopped in his tracks.

A large number of imperial guards surrounded the outside. Yan Xiuchen, dressed in a black robe and holding a golden bronze fan, stood at the front.

Gu Yanbai sighed secretly, looked at Yan Xiuchen not far away, and teased the two people beside him.

"Look, I told you, I want to go with you, but this gentleman... won't let me."

Seeing that they were surrounded, several people could not help but huddle together with their backs.

Seeing this, Jiuhan took a few steps forward and said, "Those who surrender will be expelled from the country and their lives will be spared."

"Those who resist to the death will be killed without mercy."

"Don't come over here. If you come over here, I will kill him." The leader put the knife on Gu Yanbai's neck.

But Yan Xiuchen was not panicked at all. He fiddled with the golden bronze fan in his hand and said calmly, "If you kill him, your master... will exterminate your entire clan."

The other party was suddenly startled, probably because they didn't expect Yan Xiuchen to see through their mission and concerns.

Seeing that several people were hesitating, Gu Yanbai suddenly broke free from the two people who were pulling him.

The two of them did not trap Gu Yanbai anymore.

Their mission was only to capture people, not to kill them. If they killed Gu Yanbai, they would not be able to save their own lives.

Gu Yanbai knew it very well in his mind, and he walked towards Yan Xiuchen calmly, sighed softly, and raised his hand towards him.

Yan Xiuchen didn't say anything. He took the dagger handed to him by Jiu Ye and cut the rope.

"Capture them all..." Jiuhan shouted, but just as the Imperial Guards were about to rush over, the emperor suddenly ran out.

Alone, he strode into the scene of the confrontation.

"Here, yes, here... Ah Chen, I'm telling you, I beg you..."

"Your Majesty..." Yan Xiuchen was suddenly startled and took a step forward, but it was too late.

The other people reacted quickly. When they saw the emperor coming, they pulled him to their side.

With the knife at his neck, the emperor was suddenly stunned.

The eunuch and Jiang Qingwu who were chasing after them were also dumbfounded.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the emperor being held hostage by the enemy, gave up chasing him, and bent over, panting.

"This... Is your Majesty ill? I have been trying to catch up with you all the way."

Several people held the emperor hostage, but no one dared to move.

The Imperial Guards and Jiuhan retreated one after another, and Jiang Qingbai and the others who followed behind them did not dare to move forward.

"Gu Yanbai cannot be killed. The emperor's life is not worth anything... Let us go."

"You...you bastards, what do you mean my life is worthless? I am the emperor..."

The emperor was already resentful, and when he heard this, he became even more annoyed. He was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly and shouted angrily.

The assassin grabbed the emperor and moved the blade closer to his neck, "Shut up..."

The emperor froze suddenly, and he turned to Yan Xiuchen in the distance for help, "Ah Chen, my brother, please save me, please save me, please let them go."

Gu Yanbai looked at the emperor shrinking his body, sneered without watching, and gently patted Yan Xiuchen on the shoulder.

"It's hard for you to guard such a useless emperor for so many years."

"Shut up..." Yan Xiuchen glanced at Gu Yanbai coldly and raised his hand to signal,

Jiuhan and the Imperial Guards immediately made way and retreated to the side.

"Release His Majesty, and I will let you go."

Several people looked at each other and walked towards the exit hesitantly.

Jiang Qingwu sighed helplessly, and seeing Jiang Qingbai looking nervous, he patted his chest gently.

"Don't worry, Yan Xiuchen will let them go, and they won't dare to hurt the emperor."

Jiang Qingbai came back to his senses, turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, and remembered something, "You need to go back to the Marquis' Mansion today."

"Wenli and mother learned about what happened yesterday and are worried about you. If you don't go back, I'm afraid they will find the palace."

Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were pulled away, and he nodded gently, "Okay, I understand."

As the men escaped, they pushed the emperor out and quickly disappeared into the night.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor, who was supported by the eunuch, suddenly started crying.

"Ah... Why am I so miserable? There are always people trying to harm me, poisoning me, and holding me hostage with a knife..."

The crying was deafening and everyone was stunned.

Gu Yanbai felt a chill, shrank back in disgust, and then laughed out loud.

"Being the emperor is difficult for him. It seems that it is not easy for everyone."

"Gu Qing and I will leave the palace first. You go and coax the emperor."

Gu Yanbai couldn't help laughing as he walked towards Jiang Qingwu, took Jiang Qingwu's wrist and left, "Don't look at it, let's go back first."

"How is your injury? Are you okay..."

In the carriage leaving the palace, Jiang Qingwu took out the medicine box.

Gu Yanbai looked at her puzzledly while holding a cup of tea, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

"It's not me, it's you, your wrist..." Jiang Qingwu said, pulling Gu Yanbai's arm and untying his sleeves.

Gu Yanbai smiled and said, "You took it seriously. It's just a superficial wound. It doesn't hurt that much."

"I know you don't mind the pain, but don't let the wound get worse." Jiang Qingwu lowered his head, took the medicine bottle, and wiped the wound carefully.

The iron chain was so thick that it had indeed rubbed a layer of skin off Gu Yanbai's wrist, leaving red flesh and blood oozing out slightly.

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu's serious expression, and his heart suddenly became calmer than ever before.

"Tell me, is there a possibility..."

"One day, you, Achen, and I, we will live in seclusion in the mountains..."

"Achen and I go fishing and hunting, and you cook rice and soup..."

Jiang Qingwu smiled upon hearing this and said disapprovingly, "It's quite nice, but the question is, why do you fish while I cook?"

"Do you dare to eat the food I cooked?"

As Jiang Qingwu spoke, he pulled down his sleeves and put the things into the medicine box.

Gu Yanbai frowned slightly when she heard the voice, "You are a woman, and you can't cook. Are you worse than me?"

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Then... the two of us can go fishing and play in the water, and you can cook and wash clothes, okay..."

Gu Yanbai opened his mouth, cleared his throat and said, "This... this fantasy is not good, just pretend I never said it."

Jiang Qingwu sneered and reached out to Gu Yanbai, "Where's my hairpin?"

"What hairpin?"

"The hairpin for unlocking the lock, look, the one inserted here..." Jiang Qingwu pointed to the empty bun on his head and asked.

Gu Yanbai stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, muttering hesitantly, "That...maybe it fell in the prison cell. A hairpin is not worth much."

Jiang Qingwu rolled his eyes and sighed, "It's really not worth much, but it has my name on it..."

Gu Yanbai was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll compensate you with one with a name next time."

The two of them returned to the palace before Yan Xiuchen.

But as soon as they entered Beiyuan, they saw the royal guards rushing to the lake, and Beiyuan was instantly plunged into chaos.

Jiang Qingwu was shocked and when he rushed forward, he found that Shen Zhuowen was holding Bai Ruosheng hostage with a knife.

"Don't come over, otherwise... I will kill him."
