Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Not long after leaving Nanyuan, Yan Xiuchen let go of Jiang Qingwu.

Gu Yanbai looked behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned towards Jiang Qingwu.

"You should be given a stage to perform. You act so well."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai and laughed bitterly, "It's the same to us, I just don't know..."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu's worried face, as if he saw through something, "What are you worried about?"

"Are you worried that he won't go find Bai Asheng, or are you worried that we won't be able to find Bai Asheng in time?"

"Everyone is worried." Jiang Qingwu murmured in a low voice. As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yanbai patted his chest with a look of certainty.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. As long as he goes to find Bai Asheng, we will definitely find him."

Yan Xiuchen gave Bai Ruosheng three days, but he arrived at his destination in the evening of that day.

Xiancheng is located fifty miles south of the capital, in a place called Xianwu Village deep in the mountains near Xiancheng.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and hidden deep in the forests.

There are secret guards in front and behind the village, so it is usually very quiet.

Bai Ruosheng was not in any disguise. He rode over on horseback wearing the same moonlight-white robe he wore during the day.

When the gatekeeper saw the stranger approaching, he immediately became alert, and before he reached Zhuangzi, he was hit by two hidden arrows.

Fortunately, Bai Ruosheng was very skilled and dodged it easily. He then stopped his horse suddenly and took out the token from his body.

"I am Nan Xiuye, who dares to be presumptuous?"

At the command, the people hiding in the dark immediately rushed out and knelt down to salute.

"See Young Master."

"Get out of the way." Bai Ruosheng shouted, then rode away.

There were almost no people in the manor, and the few guards knelt down and saluted when they saw Bai Ruosheng.

Bai Ruosheng, on the other hand, strode into the inner courtyard with the demeanor of a noble and powerful person.

"Young Master? Why did you come back suddenly?" The person who came out from the house hurriedly bowed to Bai Ruosheng, then turned and followed him into the house.

"Along, how is Bai Asheng?"

"Everything is fine. After receiving the news from the young master, a doctor has been sent over to treat him. Now he is no different from an ordinary person."

The man named A Long brought the tea over and passed it to Bai Ruosheng, "Sir, are you leaving again after you come back this time?"

Bai Ruosheng frowned slightly and looked at A Long, "What do you mean?"

"The antidote... the antidote hasn't been delivered yet. The master said... if you can't complete the mission, you don't have to come back."

Bai Ruosheng held the teacup, a hint of helplessness and annoyance in his eyes, and then he let out a bitter smile, "That depends on whether he is willing to give it up."

"He has raised me for so long, and even spent a lot of money to give me this face. If he is willing to let me die, then let him do as he pleases."

As he spoke, Bai Ruosheng suddenly realized something, his eyes suddenly changed, and he threw the teacup out the door.

The cup went through the window and hit the person who was eavesdropping outside the door.

Hearing the sound of someone falling, Aaron rushed out quickly and then calmed down.

Bai Ruosheng heard no more noise outside, frowned slightly, and walked towards the door.

I saw Aaron and a woman standing outside the window.

The woman was wearing a veil and holding a sword in her hand. When she saw Bai Ruosheng, she bowed slightly and saluted, "Mr. Nan."

"Miss Tang, why are you here?"

"Master said that he wanted me to come and secretly execute Bai Asheng."

Bai Ruosheng snorted coldly and refused sternly, "He can't die. The master said that Bai Asheng is under my disposal. I have the final say on whether he lives or dies."

"I'm lying in ambush at the palace and I need his cooperation. No one can execute him."

The woman smiled contemptuously upon hearing this, and shook her head slightly, saying, "You have already aroused the suspicion of Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen, and now you are still so shameless."

"You didn't allow Bai Asheng to be executed. Was it to set up an ambush or for Jiang Qingwu?"

"I think you have fallen for Jiang Qingwu and are deeply trapped in this mud, unable to extricate yourself."

Bai Ruosheng's face gradually became gloomy, and he walked towards the woman step by step.

Seeing that the situation was not right, A'long hurried forward to stop them, "Sir... Miss Tang is..."

"Get out..." Bai Ruosheng shouted softly, and A Long immediately stepped aside.

Seeing this, the woman looked at Bai Ruosheng with disdain, "Sir, there are not many masters around you. You are the best. No one can match you."

"You can beat me or kill me, isn't it up to you?"

"Just...kill me, and you can get that woman?"

When the woman finished her words, Bai Ruosheng had already arrived in front of her and raised his hand to grab her neck.

The sword in the woman's hand fell to the ground like nothing. "How dare you say that to me?"

"I stayed here for so many years, but I didn't complete any tasks. Instead, I got myself into trouble."

"We both get along. At least now I'm not kicked out like you."

Bai Ruosheng scolded in a low voice, then pushed the man out.

"Tell the master that Bai Asheng cannot die. You can't kill him as long as I am here."

Looking at Bai Ruosheng walking away, the woman shouted behind him, "I can not kill him, how about we make a deal..."

Bai Ruosheng ignored the other party and went straight to the dungeon deep in the backyard.

In the dungeon, Bai Asheng's cell had only a small window.

It was getting dark, overcast and moonless, and it was pitch black outside the window.

The candlelight in the cell was dim, and one could vaguely see that Bai Asheng's handsome face still had a scar that had just healed.

When Bai Ruosheng appeared, Bai Asheng was sitting on the wooden bed, leaning against the stone wall behind him, listening to the sound and looking at Bai Ruosheng who walked in.

The moment their eyes met, Bai Ruosheng stared at Bai Asheng in disbelief.

The last time he left, he was still covered in blood, weak and dying.

The face was covered in blood and wounds, completely unrecognizable.

Now, although he is still skinny and weak, he has changed into a black robe and tied up his hair.

The bloodstains on his face turned into shallow scars, revealing his already handsome face.

What made him feel even more frightened and surprised was the sharpness and tenacity in Bai Asheng's eyes.

"It's been so long since we last met, and now I don't know what to say when we meet again?" Bai Ruosheng murmured, and then silently opened the cell.

Bai Asheng didn't know any martial arts, so he didn't have any handcuffs or shackles, only a locked cell door.

When Bai Ruosheng came in, Bai Asheng still had no expression on his face, and his face was full of indifference.

"Last time, you wanted to die, but now... you seem to be more energetic..."

Bai Asheng lowered his eyes slightly and smiled faintly, "My face is not that useful."

"She's so smart... You can't fool her with just her face."

Bai Ruosheng suppressed the annoyance in his heart, sat down on a chair beside him, and looked at Bai Asheng from a distance.

"I have a lot of things to say to you..."

"Oh, I've always wanted to tell you a good news, you must be very happy to hear it.

When Bai Asheng heard Bai Ruosheng's words, his eyes brightened and he looked up at Bai Ruosheng, "What do you want to say?"

Hearing this, Bai Ruosheng looked as if he had grasped Bai Asheng's pride. He stood up and slowly walked towards him.

"Do you know? Jiang Qingwu...she went back to look for you."

"For you...attack Sanshui City and chase you to No Man's Hill..."

"For you, I sneaked into Sang Country... I was crazy and wanted to bring you back."
