Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu escaped from Beiyuan, but did not leave. He watched Yan Xue and Jiuhan go towards the dungeon, and then followed them quietly.

In the dungeon, Gu Yanbai shouted in vain, and tried every possible way to open the lock.

Unable to open the lock, he simply used brute force. As he was pulling the chain desperately, he heard a noise outside.

Then he sat down calmly, leaning against the railing, looking as if nothing had happened.

"Haha, don't worry about me, don't care about me, I'm fine here, just go ahead and do your bit."

"It's not like I haven't been in this crappy jail before, so I..."

"Big brother..." Yan Xue's voice suddenly came, clear and loud.

Gu Yanbai was startled for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Yan Xue running towards the prison door with the key in hand.

"Big brother, are you okay? Are you injured? Are you tortured?"

"Why would Uncle Wang lock you up here?" Yan Xue said as she took the key to open the chain.

"Luckily I'm here. Uncle Wang gave me the key out of consideration for my sake. Otherwise, I don't know how long you would have to stay in prison."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xue in front of him in disbelief, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Wait, wait a minute..."

"Big brother? Humph, my name is Brother Yan Xiuchen, you call me Big Brother?"

Gu Yanbai pointed at himself, then took off the shackles on his hands and stood up.

Outside the prison door, at a corner not far away, Jiuhan was listening carefully to the conversation inside, but Jiang Qingwu suddenly tiptoed over.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Qingwu asked in a low voice.

Jiuhan quickly stepped back, bowed his head slightly and said, "Miss..."

"Shh..." Jiang Qingwu lay against the wall in the corner, listening to the sound inside with a serious look on his face.

Yan Xue's eyes widened as she looked at Gu Yanbai with confusion, "You call him brother? Then I..."

"You should call me uncle."

"Okay, little uncle..." Yan Xue blurted out, and put her arm around Gu Yanbai's.

Gu Yanbai was startled and quickly pulled her hand away, "You are a princess, can you be more reserved..."

Yan Xue came back to her senses and quickly took out the portrait and handed it to Gu Yanbai, "I'm here to give you a portrait."

Gu Yanbai frowned and became serious in an instant. When he reached out to take the painting, Yan Xue suddenly took it back.

"Where's my kite?"

"Wind...kite...I, I haven't tied it yet. You draw it for me first, and I'll make it up to you."

"No, you have to give me the kite first." Yan Xue said, and walked towards the oil lamp on the table with the painting.

"If you don't have a kite, then I'll give you the painting if you agree to other conditions."

"Otherwise, I'll burn it."

Gu Yanbai looked helpless, sighed softly, stood still and said, "You say."

"Marry me... Ask my father for marriage, and let my uncle be the guarantor. Will you marry me?"

Gu Yanbai was suddenly startled, his eyes widened like bells, he took a quick step forward, grabbed the kettle on the table, and poured it all over Yan Xue's head.

"How dare you think that I would marry you? Haha, you are crazy."

Yan Xue's face was covered in tears and her eyes were closed. Before she could come to her senses, Gu Yanbai snatched the painting away.

"Wow, that's so cruel, how could this person do this to a little girl."

Jiang Qingwu muttered in a low voice. Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind him, "How can you marry someone who is not of the same generation?"

Jiang Qingwu's body trembled suddenly, and when he turned around, Yan Xiuchen was looking at him coldly.

Without waiting for her to say anything, he grabbed her hand and quickly walked out of the dungeon.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen's back helplessly and let him pull her away for a long way.

It wasn't until Yan Xiuchen let go of her that she unconsciously clenched her wrist.

Yan Xiuchen turned around and was about to speak when he saw Jiang Qingwu rubbing his wrist.

"Hand...I hurt you."

Jiang Qingwu rolled his eyes and turned his head away from him, "It hurts, so it hurts. Who made me angry?"

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth, walked closer to her, pulled her wrist and rubbed it carefully.

"You don't tell me it hurts, I... I'm very strong, I can't even feel it."

"It's no use saying it. Last night...when we were doing that, I, I also said it." Jiang Qingwu murmured in a low voice.

Although the voice was small, Yan Xiuchen still heard it. His thoughts turned and he remembered something.

Last night, in the villa, on Jiang Qingwu's bed...

She seemed to have really said...

Thinking of this, Yan Xiuchen felt a little guilty in his heart, and a hint of lust appeared in his eyes. He moved closer to Jiang Qingwu and lowered his voice.

"Well, then I... I will be gentler next time..." As he said that, Yan Xiuchen pulled her hand and gently clenched it in his palm.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu raised his eyes and smiled gently.

"This is... not angry anymore. Then can I go out? I want to... take care of Bai Ge and Tang Zhi..."

Yan Xiuchen stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, and asked in confusion, "One of them killed Bai Asheng, and the other wanted to kill you and hurt so many of your people."

"You housed them?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu secretly sighed and said thoughtfully, "I didn't intend to kill Bai Ge when I went to Qiduling this time."

"Tang Zhi killed Bai Asheng, she deserved to die. If Tang Zhi is killed, there is no need to kill Bai Ge."

As he spoke, a fierce murderous look flashed in Jiang Qingwu's eyes.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. I have to settle Brother Sheng's debt with that gentleman."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu and sighed softly, "Luo Ming told me everything about Qiduling."

"You knew what I was thinking from the beginning."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly came to his senses and turned around to meet Yan Xiuchen's gaze.

"……Yes."

"I deliberately focused all your attention on Gu Yanbai."

"Even I followed you into the palace. Just to avoid your attention, I arranged for Luo Ming to follow Bai Ge."

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, thinking of Gu Yanbai, "So, this matter really has nothing to do with Aze?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter."

"Yan Xue has developed feelings for him. She said she saw a mysterious person go to the Queen Mother and ask her to kill Gu Yanbai."

"So, he made an exchange with Yan Xue. Gu Yanbai made him a kite, and she drew a portrait of that person."

"Here I am, delivering a painting."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu recalled what happened early in the morning and chuckled, "I asked Zhuang Qing to send him a letter early in the morning."

"Tell him the address and ask him to bring the Jingfusi and the patrol city guards to meet me on the mountain."

"I was afraid that I couldn't defeat that gentleman, but who would have thought that gentleman had disappeared."

Jiang Qingwu murmured, raised his eyes and looked at Yan Xiuchen, and asked with some doubt, "Do you know where the gentleman has gone?"

Yan Xiuchen shook his head slightly, without a trace of strangeness on his face.

"I don't know either. After the incident with the imperial mausoleum, I haven't had time to go to Qiduling."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu tentatively while speaking, "Do you know who the gentleman is?"

Jiang Qingwu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know, but I'll know soon."

Yan Xiuchen was just wondering when Gu Yanbai came out of the dungeon holding the painting.
