Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Stay in the palace and have meals together? Isn't Yan Xiuchen afraid of overturning the table?

Jiang Qingwu came to his senses when he saw Gu Yanbai leave. He stood up and said, "It has been a long time since you last met. I won't disturb you from reminiscing about the past."

"Hey..." Yan Xiuchen shouted, but Jiang Qingwu didn't turn back.

"Farewell, Imperial Sister-in-law." Yan Xiujin bowed respectfully, turned around and saw Yan Xiuchen looking uneasy, staring at the door intently.

"I see that the emperor's wife is in good health, so there is no need for you to worry."

"Indeed... it seems that nothing has happened, but I still have a lot to say to her."

"As expected, things are different now that I have a wife. I can even throw my own brother aside..." Yan Xiujin teased in a pretentious manner.

Yan Xiuchen finally came back to his senses, turned to look at Yan Xiujin, and sighed, "You still like to make trouble..."

Yan Xiujin smiled when he heard the voice, lifted up his robe, and knelt down to kowtow respectfully to Yan Xiuchen.

"I congratulate my brother on ascending the throne. Long live the emperor..."

Yan Xiuchen was stunned for a moment, then quickly bent over and helped the man up.

"Get up quickly. You've suffered a lot in Jiangnan these years."

"If I hadn't suggested that you go to Jiangnan, maybe you would be in Beijing..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiujin quickly shook his head and interrupted Yan Xiuchen, "This minister knows in his heart that if it weren't for your arrangement, this minister would have had a much harder time. It's unknown whether he could keep his life."

"Is he...ok?"

Yan Xiuchen asked in a low voice. Yan Xiujin was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly. "It's not good. Several imperial doctors are watching him almost day and night."

"Although I can still move freely, I am no longer able to move inside."

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, stood up and paced, "You must have been held hostage by him for many years."

Yan Xiujin lowered his eyes slightly, smiled bitterly and said, "His temper has been getting worse over the years, he beats and scolds me at every turn, and imprisons me..."

"Prince Pingqing is in Jiangnan... He is just acting as a front to conceal his identity and whereabouts."

Yan Xiuchen secretly clenched his fists, but a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Brother Emperor, I came to the capital this time with a mission."

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly, turned around and looked at Yan Xiujin, "Kill Gu Yanbai, or... kill Jiang Qingwu?"

Yan Xiujin paused for a moment, then stood up and walked towards Yan Xiuchen, "Kill them all."

"Even if I don't take action, Prince Su will do it."

"Besides, before I left, he secretly summoned the Suzaku Guards. I'm afraid... he had other plans."

Jiang Qingwu stood outside the bedroom, listening to the conversation between the two, and half of his body was cold.

Sure enough...it’s him!

……

After Jiang Qingwu came out of Shangyang Palace, he looked everywhere for Gu Yanbai.

I searched all the way to the Water Garden near the Imperial Garden before I saw Gu Yanbai's figure.

"Girl, that, that's it..." Wanyue pointed to the distance and reminded Jiang Qingwu.

When Jiang Qingwu looked over, Gu Yanbai was throwing stones into the water, trying to stir up the calm lake.

"This stone was thrown, and I thought it was a knife." Jiang Qingwu folded his arms and stood behind Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai looked back at Jiang Qingwu, then turned away impatiently.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu gestured slightly to Wanyue, and Wanyue immediately walked away.

"Are you angry? Are you jealous? Don't be so petty... He is my biological brother, how can Yan Xiuchen marry him..."

Gu Yanbai heard the voice, opened his mouth, and said angrily, "What time is it, and you are still joking."

Jiang Qingwu smiled softly and walked closer to him, "I'm just joking to make you laugh."

"Let's talk about business."

"Yan Xiujin, maybe he really isn't an enemy."

"Not even your enemy."

Gu Yanbai frowned and looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion, "He is Prince Su's man. Although he will not harm Yan Xiuchen, he wants to kill me."

"Love you and your dog, but I won't necessarily kill you."

"Prince Su asked him to get rid of me. He let me go outside the West City on purpose."

Jiang Qingwu looked around and sat on a rock very close to Gu Yanbai.

As if remembering something, he sighed softly, "I believe..."

Jiang Qingwu was somewhat at a loss for words as he spoke, his face darkening slightly.

"I believe that after his rebirth, Yan Xiuchen must have avoided all crises."

"Like me, if you want to protect everyone you care about, you must choose the best path for us, and also the path that causes the least harm to all of us."

“So…” Jiang Qingwu said, lowering his voice towards Gu Yanbai.

"Are you willing... to listen to Yan Xiuchen, leave Dayan, return to Sang State, become the ruler of Sang State, and forget the past."

Gu Yanbai was startled, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, "It was you who told me to find the truth."

"Now, you're telling me to leave?"

If she had a choice, why would she be willing to persuade him to leave?

But if it was really the late emperor who was controlling everything behind the scenes and wanted to kill Gu Yanbai, even Yan Xiuchen would not be able to stop him.

In the past, she didn’t understand why Yan Xiuchen always said that he couldn’t win.

Now she understood a little.

If the late emperor was in hiding, who knows how many experts would be around him.

If he shows up, his status and power will be higher than Yan Xiuchen's.

What's more, he has Prince Su, who is a martial arts master, by his side.

It would be better to let Gu Yanbai leave first.

If Gu Yanbai left, they would definitely relax. They would have plenty of time to investigate slowly in the palace.

"If you are willing to leave, then we will forget the past..."

"I think if you leave, Prince Su and the others won't pursue the matter any further."

Gu Yanbai was a little angry and scolded unhappily, "I won't leave."

"I didn't expect that today, the one who advised me to give up investigating the truth would be you."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai steadily, sighed softly, and stood up slowly with some helplessness, "If you don't leave..."

"How about not leaving?"

What if I don't leave? What else can I do? I can only share the good and bad times together and sacrifice my life for you.

Jiang Qingwu sighed quietly, then suddenly smiled and said, "If you don't want to leave, then don't look so bitter and resentful."

"You're busy being jealous. Are you going to let me check it alone?"

Gu Yanbai was startled, and looked at Jiang Qingwu in surprise, "You want to investigate with me?"

"I promised you that I would help you find the truth."

"What's more, I am also involved. I am also on their death list."

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu, and moved closer to him as if he suddenly realized something.

"You want me to leave, do you want me to go back to Sang Country and investigate it myself?"

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly, jumped down from the stone, clapped his hands and said, "Same here."

"Before, when you told me to give up the investigation, wasn't it also to keep me out of it, for fear that I would be implicated?"

"If you leave, I'll check for you."

"If you want to check, I'll check with you."

"Instead of hiding and letting others do the wrong thing, it is better to investigate it thoroughly and get to the bottom of it clearly."

"Even if it costs something."

It has been a long time since someone stood by him and supported him so firmly.

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu, and his heart seemed to stop for a moment.

It seems like there have been times like this before...and it seemed to be because of Jiang Qingwu.

Just as Gu Yanbai was a little distracted and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, Nan Xiuye's voice suddenly broke the silence.

"And me... I can help, don't forget... I'm on the death list too."
