Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The two daughters of the Bai family both married the late emperor, one was the empress and the other was a favorite concubine.

In the end, they all died in the fire.

And who is Gu Yanbai? Who is he?

Jiang Qingwu thought about it and looked up at Gu Yanbai.

Ever since he appeared in Dayan, he has resented the royal family.

Is it because... Queen Mengjia and Concubine Jia died in the palace one after another?

He called the Empress Dowager an old witch and Emperor Xuanhe an old thing.

He also said that there was no one in Dayan who could make him kneel down.

Concubine Jia was the favorite concubine of the previous emperor, Fang Wen was her dowry, and he was raised by Fang Wen.

Could it be that he is Concubine Jia’s son?

If so, then he must be a prince. If he is a prince, why don’t he and Yan Xiuchen admit that they are brothers?

Why would Dayan wipe out all traces of a prince?

Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were in a mess, still immersed in Gu Yanbai's words, but Gu Yanbai turned around and walked away quickly.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly followed.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the two men's backs thoughtfully, remembering King Suqing's words.

He said that even without him, Jiang Qingwu and the others would find out the truth bit by bit and uncover everything that happened back then.

"Xiu Ye... do you know why King Suqing asked you to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Gu Qing?"

"He once said that if she recovered her memory, he would get rid of her." Nan Xiuye ​​echoed, and then suddenly realized something.

"Recovering memories... could it be about these, about the past?"

Nan Xiuye ​​murmured, and walked towards Yan Xiuchen nervously.

"Brother, if she continues to investigate like this, she won't even need to recover her memory, she will know the truth of that year."

"That person will definitely do something to her."

Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses, turned around and looked at Nan Xiuye, nodding solemnly.

……

When Yan Xiuchen and Nan Xiuye ​​rushed to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, who was sitting at the table, was about to give in.

But when he saw Yan Xiuchen coming in, he instantly felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

His expression suddenly changed and he stood up and walked towards Yan Xiuchen.

"Now that you are the emperor, are you so presumptuous?"

"You want them to interrogate me?"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu who was sitting on the couch in the distance, and Gu Yanbai who had an angry look on his face, and guessed something.

Then she calmly sat down at the table, "Empress Dowager... Fang Wen was once the head maid of Xifeng Palace. She should have died in the fire of Xifeng Palace a long time ago."

"But now he died in the Queen Mother's palace. Shouldn't we ask the Queen Mother?"

"Moreover, if we interrogate this Dayan...I'm afraid there is no one more suitable than Gu Yanbai."

When Jiang Qingwu heard the voice, his heart tightened involuntarily and he turned to look at Gu Yanbai.

Yan Xiuchen's words made Jiang Qingwu almost certain of one thing.

That is, Gu Yanbai does have a close relationship with Xifeng Palace.

As for other speculations, she had no evidence and was not sure.

The Queen Mother no longer had the strength she once had, and her last straw of life was gone.

He sat slowly at the table, his eyes dodging, feeling uneasy, his hands trembling slightly as he fiddled with the teacup at hand.

"Why don't you tell me whether you were the one who set the fire in Xifeng Palace?"

"Did you set the fire in Langting Palace?" Gu Yanbai slapped the table and asked.

The Queen Mother shuddered, exhaled softly, and said, "Yes...I put it there."

This answer was not surprising, but when it came from the Queen Mother's own mouth, Gu Yanbai was still a little shocked.

"Why...why did you set the fire? Who gave you the courage to murder Queen Mengjia and her favorite concubine?"

"I don't believe you have the guts to do that."

"Even if you were the queen at the time, I don't believe you would be so presumptuous as to burn nearly a hundred people in Xifeng Palace to death."

Gu Yanbai stared at the Queen Mother and questioned her repeatedly, but at this time, the Queen Mother raised her head and looked at Yan Xiuchen.

Gu Yanbai noticed something was wrong and looked towards Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen, on the other hand, was very calm. He sat at the table, holding his teacup.

"Yan Xiuchen, you are the emperor... Do you want to watch them investigate? Do you want to watch Dayan in turmoil?"

Yan Xiuchen seemed to be shaken, but still sighed calmly.

"It has never been me who caused unrest in Dayan."

Gu Yanbai seemed to understand something and grabbed the empress dowager's wrist.

"Why are you so uneasy? What did you do have anything to do with Yan Xiuchen?"

"He was only a teenager back then. Don't tell me that he asked you to set the fire or that he helped you set the fire."

The Queen Mother swallowed and suddenly pulled her hand back, "Of course not."

"Yes... yes..." the Queen Mother stammered.

Gu Yanbai stared at him intently, and Jiang Qingwu also looked over here.

Even Nan Xiuye, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but clench his hand holding the Tianyun Sword.

Everyone stared at the Queen Mother nervously, waiting for her answer.

Everyone wants to know what exactly caused the unrest in Dayan.

Only Yan Xiuchen, who seemed calm and unconcerned, was holding a teacup and drinking tea silently.

"Yes, it was me myself." The Queen Mother blurted out without any warning.

Then, as if he was relieved, his expression gradually became calm.

Jiang Qingwu had seen that feeling on Yan Xue's face before, ready to die without fear.

"I set the fire myself."

"I was once the principal wife of the late emperor, but after he became emperor, Meng Jia was made empress before I was made empress."

"It is Xijia who has once again deceived the Holy Spirit and ignored me."

"Why is it that all good things happen to the daughter of the Bai family?"

"I am the late emperor's original wife."

"Burn them to death and that will put an end to it all."

"Mengjia deserved to die. Only when Xijia dies will the late emperor no longer be bewitched."

The Queen Mother was indignant and spoke eloquently, and every word she said seemed to be telling of the grievances and grief she felt in those years.

Gu Yanbai looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, and then a cold laugh came, "Are you serious?"

"Just because of this? Do you think I will believe it?"

Gu Yanbai didn't believe it, and Jiang Qingwu thought it was ridiculous. He stood up with a questioning look in his eyes and walked towards the empress dowager.

"Just because of jealousy in the harem, you killed the emperor's empress and favorite concubine?"

The Queen Mother calmed herself down, lowered her eyes and turned her back to the two of them, and said firmly, "Isn't that enough? Everything I have was destroyed by the two of them. It is only natural for me to get rid of them."

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and moved closer to the Queen Mother step by step.

"Well, since you said you set the fire, then tell us."

"Fang Wen was supposed to die in Xifeng Palace, why didn't she die?"

"She is obviously from Xifeng Palace, so why is she in Langting Palace now?"

"When I saw her, she was still alive, mentally ill, like a mad woman..."

"More importantly...she was holding a baby."

"Who is that child?"

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Qingwu approaching, and heard the voices getting closer. She stood up in fear and dodged Jiang Qingwu repeatedly.

"I, I don't know. How would I know..."

"I've already told you that I set the fire. Why are you still asking?"

"Why are you trying to interrogate me? Many people know about what happened back then..."

"Many people...many people know about this, why don't you ask them..."
