Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

In Shangyang Palace, when Yan Xiuchen changed into casual clothes and came out of the bedroom, Jiang Qingwu was busy at the table.

In the past two days, he has been busy dealing with the aftermath of the rebellion and the affairs in the East Territory. Jiang Qingwu did not come to Shangyang Palace, and he did not go to Fengxiang Palace much.

But at this moment, she was busy at the table and seemed a little distracted.

"Put this here...put that soup a little to the side."

"And there's that snack, the young master loves it, put it in front of him!"

"This dish is so spicy. Your Majesty prefers light food. Put it further away..."

Xiao Luzi came to his senses and saw Yan Xiuchen standing silently not far away, so he hurried over to him quietly.

"His Majesty……"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Xiao Luzi and lowered his voice, "Has the Queen eaten well these past two days?"

"It's not much, but I eat the food that His Majesty sent every day..."

Yan Xiuchen nodded, waved to Xiao Luzi, and walked towards Jiang Qingwu.

"I heard from Tan Xi that you saw Huanyue today?" Yan Xiuchen asked, sitting silently on the chair next to Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu fiddled with the dishes on the table and smiled, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I want to find a good place for Huanyue."

"Didn't you say you wanted to give her freedom? Why, she doesn't want to?"

As Yan Xiuchen asked, he took Jiang Qingwu's hand and pulled her to the chair beside the table.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen who was holding her hand with no intention of letting go, and couldn't help but look over.

"She wants to stay in the palace. She said that there is someone she loves in the palace, so...she doesn't want to be free anymore."

Jiang Qingwu moved closer to Yan Xiuchen as he spoke, staring straight at him.

Yan Xiuchen looked at Jiang Qingwu who was approaching him with a puzzled look on his face, and shrank back feeling a little uneasy.

"The one I'm thinking about? You..."

Seeing Yan Xiuchen's helpless look, Jiang Qingwu smiled jokingly, "She said that she has only hugged one man in her life."

"If you stay in the palace, you can see him day and night."

"Cough cough..." Yan Xiuchen was a little panicked. Looking at Jiang Qingwu who was approaching, he coughed twice and then quickly sat up straight.

"The palace... the palace is obviously not suitable for her!" Yan Xiuchen said in panic.

Turning around, he saw Jiang Qingwu with a smile on his face and a look of triumph, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you would ignore me forever, but now you can still joke with me. It seems you are not angry with me."

Ignore him? Isn't it him who ignores me?

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen in a daze, with ripples in her heart, "I thought you would ignore me forever?"

"Now he's holding my hand and won't let go. It doesn't look like he's angry with me."

Hearing Jiang Qingwu's words, Yan Xiuchen subconsciously looked towards the table, and then he realized that even though the fuss was going on, he had not loosened his hand at all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold Jiang Qingwu's hand tighter.

Outside the palace, by the door.

Gu Yanbai leaned against the door, staring unhappily at Yan Xiujing who was watching with great interest, and sighed impatiently.

"Look at other couples being so affectionate with each other, what kind of hobby is this of yours?" Gu Yanbai moved closer to Yan Xiujin and lowered his voice.

Yan Xiujin smiled when he heard the voice, turned around and leaned towards him, "It's not that I like to watch it, but I want certain people to watch it."

"So that someone can know that the friendship between the emperor and his wife is so deep that nothing can stop them."

Gu Yanbai heard the voice, sneered, shook his head and said, "Someone said that they are tired of watching the drama of their deep friendship."

As he said that, Gu Yanbai rolled his eyes and strode in.

"Are you done with your boredom? One of you is reviewing endless memorials in the Shangyang Palace, and the other is busy in and out of the palace. I thought you would never see each other again."

Gu Yanbai muttered to himself and sat down at the table.

Yan Xiujin, who followed in, bowed respectfully, "Royal brother, Royal sister-in-law."

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses and quickly withdrew his hand, "Sit down, no need to be polite."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai who was eating on the side, and glanced at his other hand.

"I've gotten used to it in the past two days."

"Yan Xiuchen, I warn you, you must take this thing off for me tomorrow."

Yan Xiuchen smiled upon hearing this and nodded, "Of course, but tomorrow, you will be under my watch and you won't be able to escape."

Hearing this, Gu Yanbai silently put down his chopsticks, his face darkened and he said, "I heard everything you said in Shangyang Palace."

"I have to go back."

"Why don't you just follow me and make the antidote so I can return to Sang Country as soon as possible."

"The people of Sang Kingdom don't know that I am from Dayan. They only know that Sang Kingdom has a Prince Zen who is in charge of government affairs and governs the country."

"If I don't go back..."

Before Gu Yanbai could finish his words, Yan Xiuchen interrupted him impatiently, "I have a plan for the Fuye matter. The soldiers and horses of the Eastern Border Great Yan will join forces with the Sang Kingdom until the Fuye tribe is completely wiped out."

"The Eastern Territory has strong troops and Su Wenli is still in the Eastern Territory. What are you worried about?"

"So, you plan to keep me by your side forever?" Gu Yanbai was a little annoyed. He picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then put it on the table.

"Jiang Qingwu knows that Huanyue cannot be left in the palace, but you actually trapped me here. What were you thinking?"

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly and looked at Gu Yanbai with some confusion, "What does this have to do with Huanyue?"

Yan Xiujin looked a little uneasy. Seeing Yan Xiuchen calmly picking up the wine glass, he quickly interrupted and said, "Even a female assassin has freedom, but my royal brother doesn't give her freedom."

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, turned his head and looked at Gu Yanbai, "I don't think I've told you..."

"what?"

"Whether I let you go or not, whether I give you freedom or not, is not the point."

"The point is, I won't let you die, even if it means taking risks..."

Yan Xiuchen changed the subject and said, "Gu Qing, you just said you found a good place for Huanyue. What is it?"

Jiang Qingwu suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Huanyue wants to join the army. I promised her a lieutenant position. She will first follow my brother in the army to hone her skills."

"Join the army? Huanyue?!" Yan Xiujin looked at Jiang Qingwu in shock, then chuckled.

"She is a woman, and a female killer at that. How can she go to the military camp?"

"I am also a woman! And yet I am a general." Jiang Qingwu blurted out.

"You are different. Although the emperor's sister-in-law is a woman, she comes from a family of military commanders and is indeed capable of leading troops to fight. However, she is a killer who travels the world..."

"What's wrong with being a killer? Being a killer proves that you have great martial arts skills and are very thoughtful. With a little training, you will surely be able to conquer the world."

"Not everyone can go on expeditions. If a woman enters the military camp, how much trouble will she cause?"

"What's the matter? Don't always mention women."

"I'm not just saying this, she's a woman. The barracks are full of shirtless men. If you see a woman around you, then..."

"If it is anything, could it be that all the soldiers of Dayan are unruly and lustful people?"

The two argued endlessly, becoming more and more annoyed.

Gu Yanbai was stunned by what he saw. He gently pulled Yan Xiuchen and was about to say something, but found that Yan Xiuchen was drinking by himself.

She shook her head in disbelief, "You are so careless. Is your brother crazy? Why did he suddenly quarrel with Gu Qing like this..."

"You won't say anything?"
