Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Gu Ming? Gu Yanbai's confidant turned out to be Gu Ming. He was actually still in the capital? !

Looking at the people kneeling and saluting in the distance, Jiang Qingwu immediately jumped off the carriage.

But Yan Xiuchen was impatient. He used his lightness skills to bypass the imperial guards, flew to Gu Ming, and grabbed him up from the ground.

"Where is Gu Yanbai? Where are the others?" Yan Xiuchen asked angrily.

Jiang Qingwu came over and waved to everyone. The royal guards and personal guards immediately stepped back a few steps and kept their distance.

Gu Ming bowed slightly, then took out an exquisite little box from his arms.

A palm-sized box was placed in front of Yan Xiuchen, and Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Qingwu seemed to realize something instantly.

"I ask you... where are the others?" Yan Xiuchen asked again, his eyes bloodshot and filled with anger.

Gu Ming still didn't speak, but just lowered his head slightly and talked to himself, "Young Master said that after taking the antidote, the poison of the Heart-Eating Gu will dissipate from the seven meridians and six vessels."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen grabbed Gu Ming with both hands again, and the box in his hand dropped.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu raised his hand and caught it steadily.

"I am asking you a question. If you don't tell me where he is, I will make you live a life worse than death..."

After hearing Yan Xiuchen's words, Gu Ming knelt on the ground and said, "My life is worthless. I have completed the task entrusted by you. I have nothing to worry about. I will leave it to your majesty to deal with me."

Completed the task? No worries?!

Yan Xiuchen's heart instantly turned cold when he heard Gu Ming's words.

"What do you mean? You mean... now that he's dead, you're like a rootless duckweed, and life and death are no longer a problem, right?"

Yan Xiuchen stared at Gu Ming who was kneeling at his feet, and then bursts of cold laughter came out.

"I don't believe that you are just like that guy Gu Yanbai, full of tricks, cunning and treacherous..."

"Come here, take him to the death row of the capital's criminal department. When he changes his words, you can release him."

"Yes, I obey your command." The imperial guards rushed up and directly pulled Gu Ming away.

Jiang Qingwu wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he didn't say anything.

……

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Qingwu changed into a light and dark dress, took Aqin out of the palace and went to the Beijing Criminal Department.

When he saw Gu Ming, he was sitting in the cell in a daze. When he heard the door open, he hurriedly got up and came to greet him.

"See the Queen..."

"Get up." Jiang Qingwu said, sat down at the table and waved to Aqin.

Seeing Ah Qin leave, Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Ming steadily, "I want you to tell me everything that happened to Gu Yanbai recently."

Gu Ming looked at Jiang Qingwu hesitantly, then lowered his head silently.

"I'm the only one here. I just want to know the truth. If there's anything I shouldn't tell Yan Xiuchen, I'll keep it secret."

Gu Ming was silent for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Yes, I will tell you everything I know."

"Is he still alive?"

"I...don't know."

Jiang Qingwu's eyes changed color, and he slapped the table, "How could you not know? You brought the antidote here, how could you not know?"

"It's true. After taking Xu He away, we hid in Shunyang. The young master was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. Xu He saved his life first, but the young master didn't wait for his injuries to recover, and he started a war again in order to make an antidote."

"When the antidote was formed, the young master was already dying, and asked me to deliver the medicine quickly. When we were about to part, Xu Heyan said, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God."

"The young master told me that after the antidote is delivered, there is no need to look for him again. From now on, the world will follow me."

Jiang Qingwu listened to Gu Ming's words and slammed the table, "You are talking nonsense, the antidote is ready, how could he die..."

"I don't know whether you are alive or dead. Maybe you are alive, maybe..."

Jiang Qingwu took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, "Shunyang."

"Liu Qinghe Villa, but... it will take me fifteen days to return to the capital, and I'm afraid that the young master... is no longer there..."

Jiang Qingwu clenched his fists tightly, walked closer to Gu Ming, squatted down, and lowered his voice.

"Does he...does he have anything to say...does he have anything to say that he wants you to bring to me or Yan Xiuchen?"

Gu Ming was silent for a moment and said, "The young master just said that he promised the queen that he would be alive, so there is no need to tell her about his current situation."

"For your Majesty and your Majesty, not knowing whether he is alive or dead, even if they have to search for him for their entire lives, is better than the pain of losing a loved one."

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly. She once told Gu Yanbai that she didn't want to lose any of her loved ones again.

She once asked Gu Yanbai to promise her that he would live a good life.

Jiang Qingwu felt as if his heart was being torn by a knife. After he slowly stood up, he let out a bitter smile.

"Since you are... so afraid of making us sad, why do you insist on... insisting on taking this path..."

Jiang Qingwu murmured, turned around and walked out, "Go ahead, wherever you want to go..."

Jiang Qingwu whispered to Gu Ming with his back to him, then waved to the guards, "Let him go."

"...Yes, my lady."

……

Jiang Qingwu sorted out his thoughts and returned to the palace. Yan Xiuchen was drinking.

Everyone in the bedroom was dismissed, leaving only Eunuch Zhong alone.

"My lady..."

"You go down." Jiang Qingwu said, and sat down at the table, looking at the box on the table.

Jiang Qingwu took the wine glass from Yan Xiuchen's hand and said, "No matter life or death, this antidote was obtained with all his efforts and at the cost of his life..."

"You're going to eat it."

"Eat... Of course I have to eat. If he were in front of me... I would definitely eat him bite by bite."

"Eat his flesh, drink his blood, and he will...never leave again."

Yan Xiuchen muttered drunkenly, and then a cold laugh came out, "Haha, yes, eat him..."

"From now on, wherever I go, he will be there."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen picked up the wine glass again, but after drinking a glass of wine, he lay down on the table.

"He has been disobedient since he was little, pretending to obey but secretly disobeying... He is so bold that he dares to cause any trouble and do anything..."

"If he were here..."

Seeing that Yan Xiuchen was getting drunk and gradually losing consciousness, Jiang Qingwu took out the pills from the box.

A red pill, as red as blood, as if one could see the blood dripping from Gu Yanbai's body.

Jiang Qingwu's eyes turned red as she looked at the pill. She then helped Yan Xiuchen up, stuffed the pill into his mouth, and watched him swallow it before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhong Quan..."

"Yes, Madam..."

"Help His Majesty go back to his bedroom to rest, take good care of him, and then go... call Imperial Physician Li..."

"Tell Imperial Physician Li that His Majesty has taken the antidote, and ask him to stay by your side and watch over you."

"Yes, I obey your order." Zhong Quan echoed, looking up and seeing Jiang Qingwu leaving on his own, he opened his mouth and chased after her, "Your Majesty...are you going back to Fengxiang Palace?"

Jiang Qingwu didn't look back, and walked away while speaking, "Well, I want to sort out some things, please take good care of His Majesty."

"Yes, I send you off, Your Majesty."

……

The next morning, in Fenghe Palace.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother. May you live a long and healthy life."

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Qingwu's unhappy expression and waved to the nanny beside her.

Then the nanny sent away the palace maids.

"Get up and sit down."

"Thank you, mother." Jiang Qingwu stood up and sat quietly aside. When she raised her eyes to look at the empress dowager, she was staring at her intently.

"Why? You still want to go?"
