Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 435: Verbal Warfare and Tit-for-Tat Confrontation

Yan Xiuchen heard Gu Yanbai's shout and couldn't help but hurried over.

But just as they reached Fenghua Palace, Jiang Qingwu suddenly turned around and leaned out of the house.

"Be good...go change your clothes first, I'll accompany you to drink soup later. Don't worry, I won't beat him to death."

Jiang Qingwu said something to Yan Xiuchen with an apologetic smile, and then gestured to Wanyue who was standing beside him.

Without waiting for Yan Xiuchen to say anything, Jiang Qingwu rolled up his sleeves and walked into the hall.

"Gu Qing...are you okay..."

Yan Xiuchen shouted and was about to go in, but Wanyue hurriedly blocked his way and bowed to him.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The girl is fine now. Why don't you... Your Majesty go change your clothes first..."

Although Yan Xiuchen was confused, he somehow followed Jiang Qingwu's instructions and took Zhong Quan and the others into the bedroom.

But not long after Yan Xiuchen left, Yan Xiujing entered the palace, and Jiu Ye led him to Shangyang Palace.

From the side hall of Fenghua Palace, the sounds of Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai arguing could be heard.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, how could you wake up..."

"You let Yan Xiuchen marry Shen Wanrong for my own good? Why don't you let Yan Xiuchen marry you?"

"Jiang Qingwu, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by marrying me..."

Yan Xiujin stood outside the palace, listening to the quarrel inside, and sneered, "What are you arguing about?"

Jiu Ye originally wanted to stop Yan Xiu Jin and ask him to go somewhere else, but before he could open his mouth, Yan Xiu Jin stopped him with a fan and walked straight in.

"It's so lively."

Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai followed the sound and looked at Yan Xiujing who came in, and their expressions changed at the same time.

Seeing that the two men were ready for battle, Yan Xiujin raised the corners of his lips slightly, put away his folding fan, and bowed to Jiang Qingwu.

"Your humble servant Yan Xiujin greets the Empress's wife."

Thinking back to the last time we met, it was outside the West City. He was dressed in coarse clothes and looked like a killer. Now he is dressed in gorgeous clothes, covered in pearls and jades, which really fits the identity of Prince Pingqing.

"It's you. I don't know whether I should call you Nan Zifeng or Prince Pingqing."

Yan Xiujin stood up straight, but before he could say anything, Gu Yanbai said sarcastically, "Of course it's Prince Pingqing. He... is the most beloved... younger brother of the current emperor."

Jiang Qingwu smelled a strong sense of jealousy, turned to look at Gu Yanbai, and was a little dazed for a moment.

If Gu Yanbai is Yan Xiuchen's younger brother, doesn't that mean he is also a brother of Yan Xiujin?

"You are Yan Xiuchen's younger brother, and he is also Yan Xiuchen's younger brother. We are all family, so we shouldn't talk about different things..."

Jiang Qingwu said as he walked towards Yan Xiujin.

"Who is his family..."

"What the Emperor said is wrong."

The two said in unison, and Jiang Qingwu also suddenly stopped.

When he turned to look at Gu Yanbai, Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiujin's eyes met, staring at each other as sharp as knives.

The air was condensed and there was silence all around. Jiang Qingwu looked at the two of them in astonishment and sat quietly on the couch beside them.

"Prince Pingqing has lived in peace in Jiangnan for many years. Why did he suddenly come to Beijing so quietly?"

Gu Yanbai spoke first, his face was calm and his voice was cold.

Yan Xiujin was not afraid at all. He sneered and looked disdainful.

"You are a Sang countryman, yet you can come to the capital. I am the prince of Dayan, so it is natural for me to come."

Gu Yanbai's face was covered with a layer of coldness, and he walked towards him, "I am Yan Xiuchen's younger brother..."

"What a coincidence, so is this king."

"You belong to that old man, so you should be considered an enemy..."

"If I were an enemy, how did you kill Yan Lin, how did you get rid of Shen Wanrong, and who was protecting Yuya in the palace?"

Gu Yanbai's words were stuck in his throat.

He was right. It started from the moment he appeared in West City, deliberately let Jiang Qingwu take a few moves, and deliberately left the antidote for Baiqing Powder.

He had already sided with Yan Xiuchen, not to mention the secret letters he received one after another, and he even secretly teamed up with the Red Guards to replace Yan Lin's crossbow team.

Seeing that Gu Yanbai was speechless, Yan Xiujin walked towards him, gently waving his folding fan.

"Gu Yanbai, I came here today to see my brother and sister-in-law, not to quarrel with you."

"I said so much just to make you understand that you had a hard time in Fuye during those two years, and my brother in the capital was not much better than you."

"During the two years when you hated him every day and plotted revenge on him, it was me...who stayed by his side every day."

"If you say that I am an enemy, then you are probably a heartless person."

"Moreover, if you were not alive and had not come to the capital, he would not have been imprisoned several times and would not have been in such a difficult situation."

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, Jiang Qingwu, who was not far away, still heard it.

Yan Xiujin suppressed Gu Yanbai with every word he said. He spoke calmly and indifferently, and his face was calm and kind, but every word he said was like an invisible knife.

Gu Yanbai's mouth, which was usually arrogant and eloquent, was now choked and unable to utter a word.

"I vaguely remember... when I was young, Gu Yanbai drank poison for Achen and nearly died."

Jiang Qingwu sat on the couch, holding a cup of tea, and suddenly broke the deadlock between the two.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiujin also calmed down a bit and turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, "It seems that this is the case."

"How cruel can someone be who is willing to sacrifice his life for Ah Chen?"

When Gu Yanbai heard Jiang Qingwu defending him, he came to his senses and turned around and walked closer to Yan Xiujin.

"Before, you were a noble prince because of your mother's status. Now, you are still the high and mighty Prince Pingqing."

"You can make it sound so easy without having experienced other people's suffering."

"If you were me, even if you were dying, you would still come to the capital."

After Gu Yanbai finished speaking, he grabbed the flute on the table and prepared to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he bumped into Yan Xiuchen who came in.

"He's not having a good life in Jiangnan either!" Yan Xiuchen blurted out.

When Yan Xiujin heard Yan Xiuchen's voice, he turned around and bowed, "Greetings, my brother."

"He is in the Jiangnan water village, hugging beauties, listening to music and looking at the scenery. How bad can it be?"

Gu Yanbai showed a bit of annoyance on his face. He turned around and sat at the table, without any of Yan Xiujin's respectfulness.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen turned his head and walked towards Yan Xiujin, "Gu Qing has been unconscious for the past few days and has not had the chance to see you. He will stay in the palace today."

Yan Xiuchen gestured to Yan Xiujin to take a seat, then turned around and sat down beside the couch.

"Yes, I will follow your orders, my brother."

Gu Yanbai was completely annoyed. Seeing that Yan Xiuchen was very enthusiastic towards Yan Xiujin, he suddenly stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment..." Yan Xiuchen shouted and looked at Gu Yanbai in the distance.

"Nan Xiuye ​​is investigating the palace's spies. Go and help. Come back with Nan Xiuye ​​before dinner."

"Why should I listen to you?" Gu Yanbai said unhappily, turned around and left in a hurry.
