Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

"Master..." Zhuang asked again and ran to Jiang Qingwu and helped him up.

Only then did Jiang Qingwu realize that the person who saved her was Zhuang Youwen.

"Did you set the fire? Why are you here?"

"I saw it. I just came out of the house and saw you coming..." Zhuang asked again, supporting Jiang Qingwu and looking around nervously.

"Have those people left?"

Zhuang Youwen was just a storyteller. It was because he lived nearby that Jiang Qingwu asked him to investigate Gu Yanbai.

Zhuang Youwen, who has always been timid and tactful, was actually willing to take the risk to save her.

"You saved me, what reward do you want?"

Zhuang Youwen smiled when he heard the voice and said, "Just remember the reward first. I saved your life, and it can't be measured by money."

"I'll call a carriage for you and take you back to the mansion."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the people nearby who were fighting the fire, and shook his head at Zhuang Youwen, "Send me to the Regent's Palace. I have something to tell the prince."

"What are you doing now? What are you talking about..."

"The palace has an imperial physician, so nothing will happen."

Zhuang asked again, then was stunned for a moment. He said "oh" and quietly slipped out of the Gu family's house with Jiang Qingwu's support.

When Jiang Qingwu arrived at the palace, he originally wanted to wait for Yan Xiuchen and tell him about the jade token and Shen Wanrong.

But just after coming out of Nanyuan, I saw Xiao Liuzi rushing towards me from the direction of Huxin Garden.

When he saw Jiang Qingwu, he was even more surprised and hurried over to him.

"girl……"

Jiang Qingwu also noticed something and forced himself to stand still for a while, "What's the matter?"

"Excuse me, young lady, is your highness's jade token with you?"

When Jiang Qingwu heard what Xiao Liuzi said, his expression suddenly changed, "Why do you ask that? Have you seen the person holding the jade token?"

"My dear, a few people just said they were ordered to come here, holding the jade token of His Highness..."

Jiang Qingwu listened halfway and hurried forward, "Where are they and what are they going to do?"

"I went to the dungeon of the palace..."

"Gather people immediately and capture him." As soon as Jiang Qingwu finished speaking, Xiao Liuzi hurried away.

The dungeon of the palace, located in the deepest part of the palace, is usually where servants and guards who have committed crimes are imprisoned.

Fortunately, Xiao Liuzi chased them quickly, and those people were stopped as soon as they reached the dungeon yard.

"Stop..." Xiao Liuzi led his men to surround several people.

The person leading the group was Gu Ming. Several of them were wearing ordinary guards' clothes, but because they were holding jade tokens, they had a smooth journey.

"How dare you! Here is the regent's token, get out of the way." Gu Ming shouted while holding up the jade token.

But this time, no one retreated, and Xiao Liuzi even drew his sword directly.

"You got the jade token just to come to the palace?" Jiang Qingwu rushed over with a knife in his hand.

When Gu Ming saw Jiang Qingwu, he no longer concealed his true intention and directly put away the jade token and drew his sword.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu gestured slightly to Xiao Liuzi and silently took two steps back.

In an instant, the courtyard became a scene of fighting.

Jiang Qingwu had been standing in the corner, watching the fight quietly, waiting for Gu Ming and the others to be taken down one after another before he stepped forward quietly.

"I was worried that you had some ulterior motive in taking the jade token, but now you've returned it to me."

Looking at Gu Ming who was pressed to the ground, Xiao Liuzi immediately took out the jade token and handed it to Jiang Qingwu.

"girl……"

Jiang Qingwu carefully examined the jade token in his hand, made sure there was no problem, and looked towards Gu Ming.

"You brought the jade token to the dungeon of the palace? Why? Who is imprisoned in the dungeon?"

Gu Ming was indignant but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu turned to look at Xiao Liuzi.

Just as Xiao Liuzi was hesitating whether to speak, a deafening shout came from the dungeon.

"Someone, is there anyone here who has committed murder and arson..."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but sneer secretly when he heard the shouting, "Gu Yanbai, is he imprisoned here?"

"Yes, His Highness said that we should lock him up first and not allow anyone to get close to him."

"I'll go take a look." Jiang Qingwu paused and said to Xiao Liuzi, "No one is allowed to get close? Including me?"

"This one……"

"If there is anything, I will explain it to His Highness." Jiang Qingwu agreed and went straight to the dungeon.

The dungeon in the palace is not so gloomy or so harsh.

Gu Yanbai's cell was even brightly lit, with the moonlight shining into the cell, brighter than the candlelight.

When Jiang Qingwu walked in quietly, Gu Yanbai was sitting on the ground next to the cell door.

With his hands chained and holding onto the iron bars, he kept shouting outside.

"I'm starving. I'm weak and can't stand the hunger or the cold. Is there anyone who can torture me?"

"Yan Xiuchen is treacherous and disregards human life. He wants to starve me to death... Someone, help me..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai, who was full of energy and spirit, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his throat.

"I looked very energetic, how come you are so weak?"

When Gu Yanbai heard Jiang Qingwu's voice, he stopped shouting immediately, tilted his head and smiled.

"Little beauty, it's you, you came to see me?"

As he said that, Gu Yanbai shook the chain on his hand and said, "Can you untie this chain for me? My wrist hurts."

"After all, I saved your life."

"You saved me? If you saved me, why did you kidnap my mother, and why are you imprisoned here?"

"I was imprisoned here because Yan Xiuchen has no conscience..."

Gu Yanbai said with a look of grievance, then stood up angrily and said, "He is a man who covets wealth, power, money and lust. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

"Also, he is a bad person with a lot of secrets that you don't know about."

Gu Yanbai pinched his throat and lowered his voice, looked around seriously, and moved closer to Jiang Qingwu.

"Don't you want to know who Jiang Jiu is? And who am I?"

"Don't you want to know how he knew your name was Gu Qing? Don't you want to know if he is your savior?"

Why did Gu Yanbai know all this? Was he his savior?

Yeah, who is he?

When Jiang Qingwu heard what Gu Yanbai said, his heart tightened involuntarily, and the calmness on his face disappeared in an instant.

Seeing Jiang Qingwu's reaction, Gu Yanbai suddenly laughed, "How funny! It seems like there are many things you don't know?"

"From the look of your face, it looks like you've been injured internally, and you're almost dead."

"You always rush forward with passion, and give your all for what you believe is the right thing and for the right person."

"It was Yan Lin before, and it's Yan Xiuchen now, but have you ever thought that if Yan Xiuchen is the second Yan Lin, he is still not the person you want?"

Gu Yanbai paced in the cell as he spoke, the chains on his hands clanking.

Jiang Qingwu's heart was also in a mess.

Although she didn't believe what Gu Yanbai said, there was one thing he was right about.

She always rushes forward with great enthusiasm.

In the past, she thought it was Yan Lin, so she gave up everything. Now her heart belongs to Yan Xiuchen, and it is the same again.

"shut up!"

Just as Jiang Qingwu was daydreaming, Yan Xiuchen's voice came from behind.

Jiang Qingwu turned around and looked at Yan Xiuchen who was striding towards him, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled back.

Yan Xiuchen's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold, and he seemed to be angry.

But seeing Yan Xiuchen getting angry, Gu Yanbai became even more arrogant and presumptuous, "Hey, you're not pretending anymore?"

"You're worried that I'll tell your secret to others..."

"If you are afraid, why don't you take the little beauty away quickly?"

Yan Xiuchen glared at Gu Yanbai, his eyes full of helplessness, and then pulled Jiang Qingwu over.

"Go, don't talk nonsense with him."

Jiang Qingwu didn't say anything and obediently followed Yan Xiuchen out of the dungeon.

But after coming out of the dungeon, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but stop.

"Who is he? What is your relationship with him?"
