Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

If your heart is not moved, why should you be afraid of anything you say or do?

She said this in a firm and decisive tone. Not only Yan Xiujin heard it, but Gu Yanbai who was hiding in the house also heard it.

It seemed as if every word was echoing in my ears over and over again.

"I told you to go and rest, what are you listening to here..." Xu He came over, and as soon as he said this, Gu Yanbai covered his mouth with his hand.

Seeing that the two people outside the door didn't notice, he slowly let go of Xu He, "Shh..."

Gu Yanbai glanced at Jiang Qingwu in the yard, and suddenly felt very sour in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced before.

I have never felt such indescribable discomfort in my life.

"This time I came to Dayan, but it was a complete failure. I could neither take the man nor the woman with me."

Gu Yanbai murmured, then let out a bitter laugh, covered his chest, and turned to walk towards the wooden bed in the room.

"What's the matter with men and women? You might have hurt your head."

When Yan Xiujin left, Jiang Qingwu went to the kitchen of the Jingxingsi and boiled some medicine and supplements prescribed by Xu He.

By the time the medicine was ready, it was already the Yin hour.

Xu He was sleeping on the recliner in the outer room. Jiang Qingwu walked lightly and looked at Gu Yanbai who was lying on the bed in the inner room.

His face still looked a little ugly, but he was sleeping very soundly.

Jiang Qingwu did not dare to wake up Gu Yanbai. He carefully warmed the medicine on the stove and took out a cloak and thin blanket from the cupboard.

He covered Xu He with a thin blanket and sat down on the couch by the window.

I didn’t want to sleep, but maybe I was really tired. I fell asleep not long after leaning on the couch.

When she woke up, it was already daybreak.

Jiang Qingwu woke up in a daze, as if he heard some slight noise.

Half asleep, I caught sight of Yan Xiuchen's figure beside the bed.

He was wearing a gray-purple brocade robe and had just untied his black cloak and put it on Gu Yanbai.

Jiang Qingwu's vision gradually became clear and he slowly sat up. Seeing Yan Xiuchen reaching out to touch Gu Yanbai's forehead, he sighed softly.

Hearing the sigh, Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses, "Are you awake?"

"As expected, he is still the most important to you."

Jiang Qingwu said this while pouring himself a glass of water at the table.

"Are you jealous?" Yan Xiuchen said with a smile on his face, and sat towards Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu chuckled, looked at Gu Yanbai in the distance and said, "There is a question I have always wanted to ask you."

"what is the problem."

Jiang Qingwu put down the water cup and looked at Yan Xiuchen seriously.

"Before, Gu Yanbai always teased you, and I once thought that you two had a homosexual relationship, a good match for each other."

"Later, when I realized that you were brothers, I gave up the idea."

"Just think that he is deliberately making fun of you and joking with you."

"But..." Jiang Qingwu said, moving closer to Yan Xiuchen little by little.

Yan Xiuchen shrank back uncomfortably, as if realizing something was wrong, "But what?"

"But at that time, Gu Yanbai knew clearly in his heart that you were his biological brother, so all his teasing and flirting were just to tease you."

"But what about you?"

"At that time, you already knew that he was not your biological brother. You had no blood relationship at all."

"Every time he approaches you and teases you, do you feel the slightest bit of excitement?"

Yan Xiuchen stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, his heart instantly in turmoil, his body stiffly frozen in place, "You...what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Aren't you the one who knows best whether I have homosexual tendencies or not?"

Yan Xiuchen chuckled as he spoke, and shook his head gently, "If I had that kind of feeling for him, how could I be so happy with you every day."

Yan Xiuchen raised his lips with an evil smile and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu suddenly sat up straight and avoided Yan Xiuchen, "Who is having sex with you every day? Why are you here instead of staying with your concubines?"

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu stood up and prepared to leave, but he hurriedly grabbed Jiang Qingwu and pulled him back.

Across a small table, Yan Xiuchen tightly grasped Jiang Qingwu's hand, "Okay, don't be angry, you know in your heart that my feelings for you cannot be shaken by anyone."

"My mother is not a person who sticks to old customs and doesn't understand human nature. She is kind-hearted and gentle, but she is a little cold-tempered and not good at getting along with others."

"She sent these concubines here just to test my bottom line. As a mother, she naturally hopes to have as many children as possible, so she acts this way. It's not that she is hostile to you."

"I have to deal with this first move of hers. I can't resist too hard, or she will hate you, but I can't be too gentle, or she will come to trouble us again and again in the future."

Jiang Qingwu had naturally figured out what Yan Xiuchen had said, and was no longer angry.

"So, you came here so early in the morning, not only to see the man you love, but also to explain this to me?"

Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but smile when he heard that, and sighed helplessly, "Why are you always jealous of Aze?"

"He has a fever, and he has been talking nonsense and saying he has a cold, so I gave him my cloak."

"Fever?" Jiang Qingwu suddenly reacted, his face froze, and he was about to stand up but was pulled back by Yan Xiuchen.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Xu He gave him two injections and will go to boil the medicine now."

"Oh, yes, the medicine I made..."

"I've already eaten." Yan Xiuchen echoed, pulling her back again and tightly holding Jiang Qingwu's hand, "Don't be nervous, sit down and listen to me."

"I went to see the man you arrested last night. He is a member of the army, but he is not a serving general."

"Yan Xiujin and Jiuhan checked the records of the Ministry of Personnel. He was a lieutenant in the Western Defense Army in his early years. Later, he retired from the barracks due to an injury and returned to the capital."

Jiang Qingwu's eyes lit up when he heard that. He leaned forward and said, "Then go check who he knew in the army before."

"He called that man General. Maybe he was a general in his army."

"The news has been sent and we are investigating, but it still takes time."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "There is one more thing... At the court this morning, I have already granted your father's request."

"Go to the East Territory, form an alliance with the Sang Kingdom, and destroy Fuye."

"This way, Sang Country will be helped and won't be so eager to have Gu Yanbai return. He can also relax for a while."

"We will leave in the next two days. You can go back to the Marquis' Mansion to see your father."

Jiang Qingwu knew in his heart that this was what his father wanted to do most right now.

No matter who was right or wrong in what happened back then, his father was the executioner who killed so many innocent people.

Perhaps over the years, you have also woken up in the middle of the night and felt uneasy.

"He feels guilty about Gu Yanbai and wants to fight Fuye for him. I know what my father is thinking."

Jiang Qingwu took a deep breath and sat up straight, "Okay, I'll go back to the Marquis' Mansion today."

"Also, I will take good care of you, the man that is dear to my heart. I will make sure that he doesn't get lost or get hurt again."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Xiuchen felt extremely helpless. He opened his mouth and was about to refute something, but a low rebuttal voice came from the bed in the distance.

"Nonsense... Who is the man... the apple of his eye?"
