Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When Shen Zhuowen woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

In an iron cell deep inside the capital's prison, he was tied to a cross.

In the dim torture chamber, there was only a few rays of light coming from the windows separated by iron bars, so blazing.

Shen Zhuowen was not tortured, he was just tied up tightly.

After waking up, the first thing he did was to look out the window following the light, but he didn't notice Jiang Qingwu and Bai Ruosheng sitting at the table in the distance.

"Sunshine is good. Come at noon. It will be brighter in the torture chamber."

Jiang Qingwu's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the torture room and seemed even colder.

Shen Zhuowen looked in the direction of the voice and saw Jiang Qingwu, and then saw Bai Ruosheng sitting at the table behind him.

I was busy making tea.

Seeing this, Shen Zhuowen couldn't help but lower his eyes and sneered, "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

"You don't want to kill me, but you want to know something from me."

"Do you want to ask me who... ordered me to kill Yan Nan?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at Shen Zhuowen in the distance, was silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly.

"No, I don't want to ask you that."

"I know who ordered you to do this."

Jiang Qingwu's words made Bai Ruosheng, who was making tea behind him, stiffen.

Perhaps because Jiang Qingwu had his back to him, there was a hint of visible panic between his eyebrows, and he did not conceal it at all.

When I came to my senses, Jiang Qingwu had already slowly stood up and walked towards Shen Zhuowen.

He was wearing plain clothes and happened to be standing in the light.

"Don't you want to know this?" Shen Zhuowen looked at Jiang Qingwu in some surprise, then nodded.

"So you just want to know where the rest of our Shen family is?"

"Want to know where Shen Wanrong is?"

"Do you know where Shen Wanrong is? I don't think you know."

Jiang Qingwu blurted out, and then smiled contemptuously, "As for the other members of the Shen family, I don't care."

"Given a few decades, they may not be able to make a comeback."

"What I want to ask you is, where is Yan Lin?"

Shen Zhuowen frowned, then smiled in surprise, "So... you still miss him?"

"People say that women are sentimental. It seems that her love is so deep and her hatred is so strong that she still won't let him go."

Love is deep, hate is strong?!

Jiang Qingwu thought it was ridiculous and suddenly chuckled, "Haha... He deceived me so badly, how could I let him go."

"I've said before, in this world... whoever can find him for me, whoever can kill him for me, I, Jiang Qingwu, will never forget this favor in my life."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu walked closer to Shen Zhuowen and lowered his voice, "You too..."

"If you tell me where Yan Lin is, and if you can help me kill him, my feud with your Shen family will end here."

"I can stop here and let you and your sister go."

Shen Zhuowen looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief. Perhaps he really believed what he said and was thinking about it seriously.

Seeing Shen Zhuowen hesitate, Jiang Qingwu chuckled and turned to Bai Ruosheng, "Brother Sheng, bring me a cup of tea."

"it is good."

Bai Ruosheng obediently brought a cup of tea over and was about to hand it to Jiang Qingwu, but Jiang Qingwu gestured to him, "Give it to Master Shen."

Bai Ruosheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and handed the tea to Shen Zhuowen.

"Shen Zhuowen, don't play tricks. My brother Asheng has no martial arts skills and has never seen any killing. Don't scare him."

Jiang Qingwu turned and walked towards the table, talking to himself with his back to the two of them.

When Bai Ruosheng brought the tea to Shen Zhuowen's mouth, he lowered his voice to him.

"Don't worry, I'll let him go!"

The voice was very soft, almost inaudible, but in front of Shen Zhuowen, he understood what Bai Ruosheng said just by looking at his lip shapes.

"Come here, transfer Master Shen to the common cell in the east. Do not torture him or neglect him."

Jiang Qingwu instructed outside the door and gestured to Shen Zhuowen in the distance, "I'll give you two days to think about it."

"If you can lead me to find Yan Lin, the grudge between me and the Shen family will be written off."

……

At that time, outside the torture chamber.

Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai listened to the conversation inside, looked at each other, and left quietly.

"After listening for such a long time, this girl hasn't told a single truth."

"Is it appropriate to lie to them like this?" Gu Yanbai folded his arms with a smile, turned his head and stared at Yan Xiuchen who had a serious face.

"Do you think Gu Qing will let Shen Zhuowen and his sister go?"

Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "No."

"Didn't you just say that? Not a single word of yours is true."

Gu Yanbai looked thoughtful, turned around and looked at Yan Xiuchen, walking backwards.

"I know, what she said about helping her find Yan Lin, killing Yan Lin, and never forgetting it is false."

"This sentence should be for Bai Ruosheng to hear."

"That statement that she would let them go was also a lie. That day, I saw how much she hated the Shen family. I don't think she would let them go."

Gu Yanbai murmured thoughtfully, but the next moment, he tripped over something and stumbled and fell out.

Fortunately, Yan Xiuchen reacted quickly and stepped forward to grab him.

Gu Yanbai looked at the pond behind him, then turned to look at Yan Xiuchen who was holding him, and breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death."

Yan Xiuchen looked helpless and pulled the person over.

"Not only that, what she said... that she didn't care about those small fry of the Shen family... was also false."

Yan Xiuchen said, taking a deep breath and said with certainty, "As long as they are from the Shen family, she will not let them go."

Gu Yanbai was startled, looked at Yan Xiuchen who was walking away, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Why, why, you didn't tell me last time."

"Why does Gu Qing hate the Shen family so much? Apart from plotting against the Jiang family and deceiving her, the Shen family doesn't seem to have caused any actual harm to the Jiang family."

"Or maybe the Shen family did something that others don't know about."

Yan Xiuchen listened to Gu Yanbai's endless questions and then stopped.

"Everyone has secrets."

"You have it, I have it, and Gu Qing should have it too."

"You and I are unwilling to tell each other our secrets, so you should also allow me to keep my secrets to myself."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai with determination, and raised the corners of his lips slightly with a gloating look.

Just as he was about to leave, Gu Yanbai grabbed him.

"What kind of bullshit are you talking about? My secret is just hidden from Gu Qing."

"Gu Qing's secret is just hidden from me."

"You...you Yan Xiuchen..." Gu Yanbai poked Yan Xiuchen's chest with his finger, as if he was criticizing something angrily and annoyedly.

"You know all our secrets. There is almost nothing in the whole of Dayan that you don't know."

"I suddenly want to sleep with you. I want to see if you talk in your sleep and what you talk in your sleep."

Gu Yanbai folded his arms, rolled his eyes at Yan Xiuchen, turned around and left.

When Jiang Qingwu and Bai Ruosheng came out of the dungeon, they saw Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai from afar.

Just then, they saw two people coming out of the gate of the Beijing Criminal Department.

Seeing the two people pulling and tugging each other, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but stop.

Bai Ruosheng followed behind her, following her gaze into the distance, and then chuckled, "I see... His Highness is very indulgent towards Master Gu, it seems..."

"It's like, treating her like some girl, coaxing her, pampering her, protecting her all the time."
