Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

On the other side, outside the palace gate.

Cheng Xiang rebelled and ambushed Yan Xiujing and Jiang Qingbai at the city gate, easily capturing them.

After knowing that Gu Yanbai killed his wife, he stood firmly on the side of the rebels.

Yan Xiuchen, dressed in a black and gold brocade robe with dragon patterns, opened the city gate with the Royal Guards, Jiang Ruhai, Zuo Xiang and others.

After Jiu Ye received the letter from the carrier pigeon, he quickly caught up with Yan Xiuchen and the others.

"Godfather, Jiuhan sent a letter via carrier pigeon."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen hurriedly took the note.

[According to the order of godfather, all the remaining members of Yan Su have been killed and the city gate has been recaptured. ]

[The prince has left the city with the gold medal to take over the troops of Xiancheng. The Jingxingsi will arrive at the palace gate as planned.]

Yan Xiuchen looked at the contents on the note, then turned to look at Jiu Ye, feeling uneasy.

"I clearly wanted Nan Xiuye ​​to leave the city and take over the troops. Why would it be Aze?"

"Where's Gu Qing? Where's Nan Xiuye?"

Jiu Ye was confused and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, godfather, the young master is fine, and godmother and the others will be fine too..."

The palace gate slowly opened, and Yan Xiuchen also saw Yan Xiujin and Jiang Qingbai who were pushed to the front by Cheng Xiang.

The huge army confronted the rebels led by Cheng Xiang.

Cheng Xiang, who was riding on a horse, saw Yan Xiuchen, and then swung his spear at Yan Xiujin's neck.

"Yan Xiuchen, you teamed up with Emperor Xuanhe to kill your father and seize power, and forced Emperor Shun'an to abdicate. We are now following the orders of Emperor Shun'an and King Suqing to eliminate the rebellious ministers and rebellious sons. Kneel down and confess your crime immediately."

Cheng Xiang's convincing words were just a pretext to mislead the rebels behind him.

Yan Xiuchen rode on his horse with an imposing manner, his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes were filled with terrifying coldness, "Cheng Xiang...you have been deceived!"

Yan Xiuchen's voice was cold, and he raised his hand slightly to signal, and then suddenly, a group of well-organized criminal guards rushed out from the alley near the palace gate.

The commanders of the Beijing Criminal Division, Fu Ce and Huan Yue, along with a group of replicas of the Beijing Criminal Division, quickly arrived in front of Yan Xiuchen.

"Fu Ce, the commander of the Beijing Criminal Division, pays respect to His Majesty..."

"Have you brought all the people here?" Yan Xiuchen asked calmly, and then Huanyue and Fu Ce brought up all the replicas that were detained in the Beijing Criminal Department.

Four people who look like Jiang Qingwu, two Shen Wanrongs, two Gu Yanbais...

Along with a person who looked exactly like Yan Chong, he was controlled by Huanyue.

"How come they all look the same..."

"Is that the queen? How come there are four of them..."

"How could this happen? Who is that, wearing a dragon robe..."

There was an uproar among the crowd, and various whispers were heard.

Seeing this, Huanyue pushed the person in his hand forward.

The man staggered and almost fell to the ground. He shrank his body timidly, turned around and saw Yan Xiuchen, then quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, I am an old farmer from Chenzhuang. I was captured..."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. They asked me to pretend to be the late emperor. I had no choice but to do so..."

The fake Yan Chong knelt down and begged for mercy, which shocked all the rebels.

Everyone was talking, and the noise was getting louder and louder.

Yan Xiuchen glanced at the man kneeling in front of him, and his eyes settled slightly.

Although he knew it was fake, he had asked Xu He to prepare a human skin mask early in the morning.

But when he saw the fake Yan Chong, his heart still tightened a little.

"In order to seize the imperial power, the King of the Purge, Yan Su, did not hesitate to fake his death and escape in the name of being buried alive with the late emperor."

"I have been planning for many years in Jiangnan, and I have even found a miracle doctor who can change people's appearance..."

"The so-called former emperor is just an ordinary old man in disguise..."

Yan Xiuchen shouted loudly, then raised his hand to signal.

In an instant, the royal guards behind him drew their bows and swords, ready for battle.

"I think you were deceived and had no choice but to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate. I will not kill you if you surrender, but I will forgive you if you surrender!"

Hearing the sound, the rebels put down their knives one after another.

Cheng Xiang looked back at the disarmed rebels and shouted, "Don't listen to their nonsense. They brought these people here..."

“They are all fake…”

"I have seen the real Emperor Shun'an and King Suqing. They are the orthodox ones..."

"Cheng Xiang..." Jiang Ruhai suddenly shouted, "His Majesty treated you well, but you colluded with King Suqing and betrayed His Majesty..."

"What do you know? My son is in his hands. I only have one son. How can I just ignore him..."

"What's more... my wife has died at the hands of Gu Yanbai. Today, I will definitely avenge my wife..."

"You are so stubborn! Look how many people are behind you..." Jiang Ruhai shouted angrily. Cheng Xiang came to his senses then. More than half of the rebels behind him had thrown away their weapons and retreated to the sides and squatted down.

The rest of the people looked at each other, hesitant.

"Cheng Xiang, if you don't surrender, you may never have the chance to see your son again..." Gu Yanbai's voice suddenly came from a distance, and then the mighty army filled the entire long street and poured in from every street corner.

Seeing this, the remaining half of the rebels immediately dropped their weapons.

Cheng Xiang saw Gu Yanbai riding a horse, approaching calmly, and he instantly became furious.

"Gu Yanbai, you killed my wife, you..."

"Your wife killed my loved ones, and I killed her with an arrow, which was too easy for him..." Gu Yanbai roared with gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and he clenched the reins in his hands.

Close relatives?

Jiang Qingwu, or maybe it’s... Nan Xiuye?

Yan Xiuchen was startled and his eyes widened instantly.

Seeing Gu Yanbai's bloodshot eyes filled with anger, Yan Xiuchen's head buzzed.

"If you surrender, you will have a chance to see your son. If you insist on doing so, I don't mind sending you to see your wife..."

"Hahaha...Okay, before I die, let them be buried with me..."

Cheng Xiang sneered, then stabbed Yan Xiu Jin with his spear.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruhai drew his sword and swung it over, knocking Cheng Xiang's knife away in time.

Jiu Ye also came to his senses, jumped off his horse, and swung his sword towards Cheng Xiang.

In an instant, Jiu Ye and Cheng Xiang started fighting, and the dozen or so guards around Cheng Xiang also started fighting instantly.

The Imperial Guards rushed forward, and Jiang Ruhai and his men hurriedly rescued Jiang Qingbai and Yan Xiujing.

Seeing that Jiu Ye was no match for him, Gu Yanbai turned around and reached out to the guard beside him.

The bow and arrow were handed over, and Gu Yanbai flew on his horse and shot at Cheng Xiang through the air.

Cheng Xiang reacted quickly. After dodging one arrow, he immediately faced the second one...

Soon, he was attacked from both sides, fell off his horse, and was pinned down by the Imperial Guards!

When Yan Xiuchen saw that the dust had settled, he immediately rode his horse towards Gu Yanbai, "What did you just say?"

"What close relatives? Where is Gu Qing? Where is Nan Xiuye? And... King Suqing, where are they?"

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen and was suddenly speechless. The grief and anger that he had just suppressed surged up in his heart again.

"Gu Yanbai, say something..." Yan Xiuchen roared.

"The palace..." Gu Yanbai didn't say much, just spit out two words lightly.

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai with his eyes lowered and silent, his heart tightened. He pulled the reins and headed straight towards the palace.
