Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Yan Xiujin.

He was dressed in dark blue brocade clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand, and walked over with a gloomy face.

Yuya felt a little guilty when she heard that. She bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, my brother."

Yan Xiu Jin sighed softly and looked up at Jiang Qingwu.

When their eyes met, it seemed as if they had reached a tacit understanding.

"The Queen has the right to inquire into state affairs. What about you? When have you ever been allowed to question matters such as the rebels and traitors?"

Yuya bowed her head slightly, but she still felt unwilling.

"Yes, but...where is the emperor? He is not a matter of state, right? I want to see the emperor..."

"Brother Wang, I know you know about this. Where is the emperor?"

Yan Xiujin opened his mouth, then walked closer to Yuya, and his tone softened.

"Father..."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu took a deep breath, stepped forward silently and said, "There are some things I don't want you to know, but..."

"That's my father, I should know." Yu Ya approached Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiujin who was not far away, nodded to Yuya and said, "Yes, you should know."

"In fact, the late emperor was seriously ill that year, so he faked his death and went to Jiangnan with Prince Pingqing to recuperate."

"Who would have thought that in order to fight for power, King Suqing used the late emperor to detain him in Jiangnan, and bribed the generals and officials in the capital, intending to rebel."

"So, that's why we took your father to the capital and caused some trouble."

Yu Ya looked at Jiang Qingwu half-believingly and half-doubtingly, and said thoughtfully, "So why did Cheng Xiang's wife want to exchange me for my father that day?"

"They just need your father's identity as a reason to rebel and overthrow Yan Xiuchen..."

Jiang Qingwu blurted out and turned to look at Yan Xiujin.

Yan Xiujin came back to his senses and took the opportunity to come over, "Yuya, father's health was already failing, and now Yan Su has made such a fuss...he died of illness in the Regent's Palace yesterday."

"If you want to see him, I can take you there, but this matter must not be made public. Otherwise, if people knew that my father had faked his death, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Died of illness? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you let me see him for the last time..."

Yuya walked towards Yan Xiujin with a look of surprise, but as soon as she said that, Yan Xiujin shouted, "Yan Yuya, you are still pregnant, calm down..."

As he spoke, Yan Xiujin waved to the two maids behind him and said, "Send the princess back to the Marquis' Mansion and have a good rest."

Yuya sobbed quietly, without showing any emotion, but her tears were like pear blossoms in the rain.

"Didn't you say you would take me to see him..."

"If you obey me, I will take you with me when we send him to the imperial mausoleum."

Yuya looked at Yan Xiujin hesitantly, then choked up and bowed to Jiang Qingwu and Yan Xiujin.

"Well, I'll leave the palace first."

Looking at Yuya walking away, Jiang Qingwu felt a little uneasy and sighed.

"Will she believe it?"

"Whether she believed it or not, there was no chance to verify it. She could only believe it."

Yan Xiujin murmured, then came back to his senses, "Imperial sister-in-law, you are very good at making up stories."

Jiang Qingwu chuckled, "You wanted to kill me yesterday, but today you can joke with me."

Yan Xiu Jin’s thoughts turned back to the past, and he recalled the fight with Jiang Qingwu in the dense forest, and he sighed secretly.

"After sending my father to the imperial mausoleum, I plan to... return to Jiangnan and continue to be my leisurely prince."

Jiang Qingwu was a little stunned. He turned around and looked at Yan Xiujin, feeling inexplicably emotional.

"You want to leave too?"

Yan Xiujin looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion.

"Nan Xiuye ​​is gone. Gu Yanbai will have to return to Sang Country sooner or later."

"He values ​​brotherhood. If you leave too, he'll be the only one left."

As he said that, Jiang Qingwu turned around and looked in the direction of Fenghe Palace. "I still have things to do in Fengxiang Palace. I'll leave first..."

Yan Xiujin came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Qingwu who was walking away and shouted, "Gu Yanbai hasn't come back yet, aren't you going to go look for him?"

"Someone will come find him."

……

In the city, at Zuichunlou, there was singing and dancing, and the place was extremely lively.

Yan Xiuchen took Jiu Ye and went to the second floor in casual clothes.

From the largest room came the familiar laughter of Gu Yanbai.

"Well, you dance well, you dance well... Come on, come on, have a drink with me, young master."

Yan Xiuchen stood at the door for a moment, then pushed it open and walked in.

When he saw Yan Xiuchen, Gu Yanbai's face suddenly darkened. The music of stringed instruments did not stop, and the singing and dancing did not stop.

Only Gu Yanbai's hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air.

Yan Xiuchen looked at the girl dancing in the middle of the room, then walked around and sat on a side seat.

Gu Yanbai also came back to his senses, holding the wine glass with a stiff expression and drinking it all.

"Sir, have another drink. I haven't finished my wine yet..."

The girl next to him kept leaning into Gu Yanbai's arms, but Gu Yanbai just had a cold face, thinking about something seriously, and didn't pay any attention to the wine that was handed to his mouth.

It was not until I reached for the wine glass that I caught Yan Xiuchen's gaze.

In an instant, Gu Yanbai came to his senses and raised his hand to push away the girl next to him.

"Go down."

"Sir, let me accompany you today..." The girl came closer again attentively and touched Gu Yanbai's body with her hands.

Yan Xiuchen glanced at her, raised his hand and threw the snacks on the plate into the girl's hand.

"Ah..." The girl staggered and half fell to the ground. When she came to her senses, she was so scared that she sat aside, not daring to move.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai frowned and looked up at Yan Xiuchen.

"Isn't this the wrong place for you?"

"It's not appropriate for you to come..." Yan Xiuchen agreed, pouring the wine and bringing it to his mouth.

Gu Yanbai glanced at Yan Xiuchen and sighed secretly, "Why am I not suitable? This girl from Zuichunlou is pretty and a good dancer. Last time, she and Nan Xiuye..."

Gu Yanbai was talking when he suddenly choked up, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, then he shouted to the girl beside him, "Pour some wine."

"Yes……"

Yan Xiuchen watched the girl pour the wine and bring it to Gu Yanbai's mouth, then turned his head and signaled to Jiu Ye with his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiu Ye turned around and shouted loudly, "Everyone, step back and receive your reward."

Everyone suddenly paused, and the person playing the piano also stopped instantly, and everyone looked at Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen and said nothing. Then everyone obediently left the room.

Watching the dancers and musicians leaving one after another, Gu Yanbai crossed his legs, leaned back on the couch, and looked at Yan Xiuchen intently.

"Before, I treated you as my own brother, and when I teased you, it was just teasing you."

"Now that I think about it, you knew from the beginning that I wasn't your brother. How come you really fell in love with me?"

Yan Xiuchen lowered his eyes and chuckled, with a bit of unruly expression on his face, "So what..."

"I want to keep you here, hug you left and right, it's really beautiful."

"Didn't we agree long ago that odd days would be you and even days would be hers?"

Hearing the voice, Gu Yanbai sighed, rolled his eyes, and put the wine glass on the table with a bang.

"Don't say that! How dare you say such a thing?"

"You want to keep me here because if I leave, I will definitely give you the antidote. If I give you the antidote, I will have to sacrifice half my life."

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly, and unlike Gu Yanbai, he sat upright at the table.

"It's not that I'm losing half my life, it's that I only have a 30% chance of success!"
