Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Gu Yanbai trembled and was startled. He held the wine glass and stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze.

He turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, then cautiously moved towards Jiang Qingwu.

"My little beauty... the Shen family... what on earth did the Shen family do that makes you hate the Shen family so much..."

"last night……"

Jiang Qingwu came back to her senses, raised her eyes to look at Gu Yanbai, and when she saw his puzzled look, she was about to speak, but Yan Xiuchen suddenly interrupted her.

"It's useless whether Shen Chengshan is killed or not."

"The bait can only catch fish once. If you use it again, the fish won't take the bait."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen's calm and expressionless face and thought about what happened last night.

Silently, he sat towards Yan Xiuchen, "Aren't you curious about why I hate the Shen family so much?"

Yan Xiuchen reacted, raised his eyes and smiled, "I'm not curious, I know everything."

"You know? What can you know?" Jiang Qingwu was stunned at first, then he sighed secretly.

"What do you know?" Gu Yanbai gently pulled Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen, however, acted as if he didn't hear or see anything, and pulled Jiang Qingwu's hand away.

"Just like you said, whether it's Shen Zhuoqi, Shen Zhuoran, or Shen Zhuowen, each of them will have to pay a price."

"What's going on? What exactly did the Shen family do?" Gu Yanbai's eyes were full of confusion, and he muttered in a trance.

When she turned around and was about to speak to Yan Xiuchen, Yan Xiuchen pulled Jiang Qingwu into his arms.

Gu Yanbai was suddenly startled and slammed the table and stood up.

"You two are not done yet, are you? Do you have any sense of justice or common sense?"

"I'm still here? Yan Xiuchen, you're really good. You were worried about Bai Ruosheng just now, but now you're hugging Jiang Qingwu. You're treating me like air, right?"

"Okay, I'm air, I'm going..."

Having said that, Gu Yanbai walked away angrily.

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but look at Gu Yanbai with a smile, and then called out to him, "Stop."

"Okay, don't be angry. You don't leave, I'll leave." Jiang Qingwu said, stood up, pulled the person back, and pressed him to sit on the chair.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen stood up and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, "Where are you going? It's so late."

"My eldest brother came to me today and told me to go back home. My cousin and mother are all missing me."

"Yesterday... Yesterday's events may have frightened my eldest brother and the others."

"I have to go back to them..."

"You scared me too..." Gu Yanbai, who was sitting at the table, crossing his legs and holding a glass of wine, suddenly interrupted.

Jiang Qingwu and Yan Xiuchen looked back at him but ignored him.

"Then... I'll take you there."

"No need, Luo Ming and the others are here to pick us up..."

Jiang Qingwu said this and then looked at Gu Yanbai standing beside him.

"I see this guy is jealous, you should stay and keep him company."

"Today is an odd day, and it's time for Gu Qing to sleep with me..."

Jiang Qingwu smiled teasingly and mockingly, glanced at Gu Yanbai, and turned away.

Yan Xiuchen sighed helplessly and then chased after Jiang Qingwu.

Gu Yanbai looked at the two people's backs disappearing one after another, put down his wine glass, stood up and walked towards his west wing.

"Neither of the couple has a conscience to make fun of me."

……

Jiang Qingwu thought Yan Xiuchen came to see her off and only sent her to the door.

But it was not until she got on the carriage that she realized Yan Xiuchen had followed her.

Even Jiu Ye prepared horses, rode one horse and led another horse, following the carriage.

"You...you want to send me back to the Marquis' Mansion?" Jiang Qingwu asked in confusion.

"Of course. It's so late, how can I let you go back alone?" Yan Xiuchen said, and then gestured to Luo Ming, "Let's go."

"It's Your Highness."

Jiang Qingwu watched the carriage moving slowly, turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Since you've come along... there's something I didn't mention just now."

Yan Xiuchen looked at her without any surprise and smiled slightly, "I knew you were holding back."

"You don't want to say it in front of Aze."

"You know what I want to say?" Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen in surprise.

She often saw this unfathomable look on Yan Xiuchen's face, as if he knew everything.

At this moment, she realized that what she had not said was not mentioned by Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen just now in the palace.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you to speak."

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but chuckle and leaned lightly against the small window.

"In fact, you and I, the three of us, all know what's going on."

"The queen is dead, Bai Ruosheng couldn't have been sent by the queen, so the target is not you, it can only be Gu Yanbai."

"Besides, whether it was in the old house, on the night of the Lantern Festival, or in the palace this time, it can all prove this."

Yan Xiuchen nodded slightly, and guessed what Jiang Qingwu was going to say, "You mean to say that the person behind Bai Ruosheng is the one who has been holding on to Gu Yanbai."

"I'm afraid you two already knew that."

"That person will not harm you. He will even support you and help you. So... they will not kill Gu Yanbai, they will just take him away."

"Because that person knows that Gu Yanbai is the key to the antidote for the Heart-Eating Gu. That person doesn't want you to die, so naturally... he will spare Gu Yanbai's life."

As Jiang Qingwu spoke, he sighed secretly and let out a bitter laugh.

"My amnesia, Gu Yanbai's identity, your past, and the truth about why you betrayed Gu Yanbai..."

"And the reason why he grabbed Gu Yanbai and insisted on killing him..."

"I can put all of this aside for now. I can not pursue it, I can not investigate it, I can not ask you, and I don't want an answer."

"but……"

Before Jiang Qingwu finished speaking, Yan Xiuchen understood something, "You want to ask Bai Asheng?"

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently, "Yes, I only want Bai Asheng."

"I didn't know Brother Asheng was alive before, so I just thought the news of his death was true."

"But now that I know he is alive, I must save him, and it is urgent."

Jiang Qingwu grabbed Yan Xiuchen and said, "That man cares about you so much, please help me tell him to let Brother Sheng go."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu holding his hand and her face full of worry, and he felt like something was pulling at his heart.

But soon, she suppressed all her displeasure and held his hand.

"He might not listen even if I tell him. On the contrary, he will know that we have already seen through the fact that Bai Ruosheng is fake."

"By then, if we alert the enemy, will he let Bai Asheng go?"

Jiang Qingwu felt a slight sinking in his heart when he heard what Yan Xiuchen said.

She also knew in her heart that if Yan Xiuchen could just say a few words to resolve the issue, there would be no need to go through so much trouble and put on such a show.

Once everything is laid out in the open, Bai Asheng will be immediately put on the cutting edge and become a bargaining chip, a tool that can be slaughtered at any time.

She had to be absolutely sure that she could save Bai Asheng before she could turn against them.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu's face full of sorrow and worry, Yan Xiuchen sighed softly and pulled Jiang Qingwu into his arms.

"Don't worry, as long as we don't expose Bai Ruosheng, they will let him live well.

"They need Bai Asheng's cooperation, and they also need to use him as a bargaining chip in the end."

When Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Qingwu arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, it was already very late. Jiang Qingyu was waiting at the gate, pacing back and forth.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu and the others coming down, he hurried to greet them, but suddenly frowned.

"Your Highness..." Jiang Qingyu bowed slightly, then looked around the carriage, "Didn't you see my cousin?"

At that time, the Regent's Palace.

Seeing that Luo Ming and Wan Yue had been gone for a long time and had not come back, Su Wenli thought of going to meet her.

After this greeting, they went straight to the palace, but just as they arrived at the North Garden, they saw a dark shadow heading towards the west wing.

Su Wenli was shocked and ran over without saying a word.

Seeing this, the guards in the yard immediately followed him, "Master Su..."

"Someone's breaking in, be on guard..." Su Wenli shouted and pushed open the door of the west wing.

The smoke in the room was thick, and Gu Yanbai fell beside the table in the room...
