Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When I came out of Baihua Tower, it was already the hour of Xu.

Jiang Qingwu looked around, thinking about what Cuicui said, his thoughtful face filled with sadness.

"She said she went to the mountain, blindfolded, and rode in a carriage for more than half an hour..."

Bai Ruosheng came over with his horse and nodded in agreement, "Go out of the South City and you will reach Nanshan. If you take a carriage, it will take about half an hour..."

Jiang Qingwu turned his head to look at Bai Ruosheng, then pulled the reins and said, "Let's go to Nanshan first."

Seeing this, Bai Ruosheng grabbed Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu was suddenly startled, and a cold light flashed over in his eyes.

Bai Ruosheng also reacted immediately, sighed helplessly, and let her go.

"What time is it now? If I go to Nanshan, I'm afraid it will be midnight when I come back."

"Besides, it's too dangerous for us to be alone. If Yan Lin is really here..."

Jiang Qingwu ignored Bai Ruosheng and got on the horse. "Your martial arts and lightness skills are equivalent to Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai being by my side."

"As long as you're willing to stand by me, it'll be fine."

"Besides, I brought the Fire Signal and the Golden Whistle. If we really find Yan Lin, it won't be too late to call for help."

Seeing that Jiang Qingwu had made up his mind, Bai Ruosheng raised the corners of his lips slightly and jumped on his horse, "Of course I'm on your side."

Riding a horse was much faster than riding a carriage. In less than half an hour, the two arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain.

"This mountain road is not easy to walk on. Let's go slower. You are good at light work. Go to the front and stand on a high place to have a look..."

Bai Ruosheng sighed secretly when he saw Jiang Qingwu's decisive and resolute appearance.

"If you really marry Yan Xiuchen, you will probably suffocate to death in the palace."

"Break off the engagement, and find someone who is easy-going, kind and brave, and live a simple life with him."

Jiang Qingwu ignored him, sneered, and didn't even look at Bai Ruosheng, "I thought you would let me break off the engagement and follow you?"

Hearing the voice, Bai Ruosheng looked at Jiang Qingwu quietly, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"I'm afraid I'm a person without a future..."

Jiang Qingwu's heart suddenly tightened. He turned to look at Bai Ruosheng, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

"What do you mean by no future? I think you still have a long way to go..."

Jiang Qingwu agreed, then remembered something and looked at Bai Ruosheng in confusion.

"That day, you said that you wanted me to break off the engagement in order to save me and help me. What happened?"

"Also, you gave me the golden whistle, is it because someone wants to kill me?"

Bai Ruosheng didn't answer or speak, he just pulled the reins and walked slowly.

Jiang Qingwu felt annoyed, sneered, and shook his head helplessly.

"One is dumb, the other two are dumb too. I think the men in Dayan are all very rich."

Bai Ruosheng frowned in confusion and turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, "What does this mean?"

"Silence is golden. How much is it worth?"

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu quickened his pace. Bai Ruosheng looked at Jiang Qingwu's back and couldn't help but sneer, "You really know how to tease people."

The two of them traveled day and night from the foot of the mountain to the top, but they still didn't see anyone.

Not to mention human figures, there wasn't even a farm or a place where people could live.

On both sides of the mountain path, there are only two pavilions halfway up the mountain and the Nanshan Tower on the top of the mountain, nothing else.

There should have been someone guarding the Nanshan Tower, but at this moment, the tower was pitch black and the door was locked.

"It seems like we've made this trip in vain." Jiang Qingwu fiddled with the lock of the tower door and sighed softly.

When I turned to look at Bai Ruosheng, he was standing in a pavilion not far away.

"This is really beautiful. You can see most of the capital."

Jiang Qingwu heard the voice and followed silently.

"I have never taken a close look at the capital before. This place is very close to me, yet so far away."

Bai Ruosheng murmured thoughtfully, then leaned against the pillar and laughed bitterly, "You just said that my future has a long way to go..."

"In fact, I have reached a dead end. There is no way out."

"I never had a choice of the path I took, but now that I have a choice, I have chosen a desperate situation with no other way to go."

Jiang Qingwu vaguely understood something and walked closer to Bai Ruosheng, "The poison from Bai Qingsan will take effect in a few days."

"Not counting today, there are still three days."

"Where's the antidote? Mr. What, hasn't he given you the antidote yet?"

"Is it because you didn't complete the mission, didn't catch Gu Yanbai, and didn't kill Yan Nan, so there is no antidote?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at the silent Bai Ruosheng, paced back and forth in frustration, and snorted coldly.

"Who is he? Aren't the people standing on Yan Xiuchen's side with us?"

"Why would you hurt someone Yan Xiuchen cares about?"

Bai Ruosheng sighed and shook his head gently, "His goal is to make Yan Xiuchen the emperor, and he doesn't care... about the people he cares about."

"And... the lack of an antidote isn't just because there wasn't one in the previous mission."

Bai Ruosheng murmured, looking at her quietly, his eyes fixed and greedy, as if if he accidentally looked away, he would never see her again.

"Anything else? You're really busy!"

"You... you really don't have the antidote for Bai Qingsan?" Jiang Qingwu turned and looked at Bai Ruosheng.

Bai Ruosheng was silent for a moment, shook his head gently, then chuckled and sat on a stone bench beside him.

"I'm just a killer, no different from those killers who were killed while on a mission, took pills, or were tortured."

"He will do anything to achieve his goal, and will treat human life as worthless. He will go crazy and kill people..."

Bai Ruosheng murmured, thinking of Bai Asheng.

When he was hurt, he mustered up enough courage to take his place and tried his best to pursue Jiang Qingwu.

But now, the master wants him to exchange Jiang Qingwu's body for the antidote, and he has only one way left...

"A person like me...if I die, I die. It's not worth mentioning." Bai Ruosheng said with a self-deprecating smile.

Jiang Qingwu also knew something about his past.

Putting aside the matter of Bai Asheng, he was just a tool being manipulated by others.

Looking at Jiang Qingwu's sad expression, Bai Ruosheng smiled.

"Don't worry...if I really have to die, I will definitely tell you the news about Bai Asheng before I die."

As he spoke, Bai Ruosheng suddenly became serious again.

"Also... I'm serious. I'm breaking off the engagement and staying away from Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Bai Ruosheng's serious face and sat towards him, "Why don't you stop it?"

"Give up your mission. I will go and ask Yan Xiuchen to go find that gentleman..."

"You release Bai Asheng, take the antidote, and then stay in the capital. We can live a peaceful life... Isn't that good?"

Bai Ruosheng looked at Jiang Qingwu in a daze. He could see that Jiang Qingwu was sincere in his words, but this wish was impossible to achieve.

Sir will not let Yan Xiuchen get the antidote.

And the moment he chose to disobey and betray his master, he was doomed to not get the antidote.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruosheng pretended to be uninhibited and raised a playful smile, "Your beauty trap is becoming more and more perfect."

"You want to trick me into telling you Bai Asheng's whereabouts? I won't be fooled."

Jiang Qingwu sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to stand up to explain, he heard a roar from behind him, "Who's there..."

Jiang Qingwu was suddenly startled, staggered, and fell directly into Bai Ruosheng's arms.

"Ah..." Jiang Qingwu sprained his ankle and endured the pain.

When she turned to look at Bai Ruosheng, Bai Ruosheng was looking at her with a smile on his face, and his voice became softer.

"Your honey trap requires a lot of sacrifice. Not only did you throw yourself into my arms, but you also sprained your ankle?"

"Get out of here!" Jiang Qingwu shouted angrily and was about to get up when the old man guarding the tower rushed up and picked up a broom from the corner.

"Well, you two wild couple came here to have a tryst, but my Nanshan Tower is not a place for you to fool around..."
