Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xiuchen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly froze and stopped.

At that moment, it felt as if a knife was cutting his heart.

Many things from the past came to mind bit by bit.

That night, Yan Xiuchen did not leave, and later forced him to drink antipyretic medicine.

I sat on the couch not far from the bed all night, listening to Gu Yanbai's nonsense, and I couldn't sleep all night.

On the other side, Jiang Qingwu also almost didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, feeling drowsy.

She fell into a deep sleep until dawn, and when she woke up again, it was gloomy outside.

It looks like it's going to rain, but I can't tell when it will rain.

"Miss...are you awake?" Tang Zhizheng brought in the medicine. Seeing Jiang Qingwu get up, she hurried to get clean clothes and shoes.

"What time is it, Your Highness?"

Jiang Qingwu asked while changing clothes, thinking about the matter in the west wing. Without waiting for Tang Zhi to answer, he asked again, "Did His Highness come back last night?"

"Your Highness stayed in the west wing last night. Master Gu had a high fever and took medicine twice at night."

"No one can get it in, only our Highness can."

Tang Zhi helped her change clothes and whispered in agreement beside Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu was unhappy, but more confused, "Now, is His Highness still here?"

"It's already past noon, and His Highness has not returned from the palace at noon."

"His Highness has instructed that the young lady should take the medicine carefully. If you have time, you can take a look at what is missing from this room..."

Jiang Qingwu was uneasy and looked at Tang Zhi in a trance, "What?"

Tang Zhi bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness means that the girl will be married soon, and this room will be your new home."

"From now on, if the girl wants to live here, I will follow her wishes and see if it needs to be changed or added."

Jiang Qingwu nodded in a daze, and said with an "oh", "Let's talk about this later. I'll go see Gu Yanbai."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu walked straight out.

Seeing this, Tang Zhi hurriedly chased after her with the medicine bowl in hand, "Miss, medicine, His Highness has instructed that you must drink the medicine."

Jiang Qingwu hurried out, took the bowl of medicine and gulped it down.

It was very quiet in the west wing, not even a servant was there.

The door of the room was also ajar.

Jiang Qingwu tiptoed into the room, thinking that Gu Yanbai was still asleep, but when she looked out, she found that Gu Yanbai was staring at her.

"Ah..." Jiang Qingwu was startled, his body trembled, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're awake."

Gu Yanbai leaned against the head of the bed, looking sickly, his face was pale, but there was an unruly and evil smile at the corner of his lips.

"It's already so late, I need to be able to sleep."

Jiang Qingwu looked around, looked at the two books on the couch, and probably guessed something.

"He was so nice to you. He stayed with you all night. He fed you the medicine himself several times."

Gu Yanbai was also surprised when he heard Jiang Qingwu's words.

The expression on his face froze for a moment, and he stammered in a daze, "...Really? I...I don't believe it."

"If he doesn't kill me, I'm lucky."

Although he said this, Jiang Qingwu still noticed the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I finally understand. You want to kill him, but you don't want him to die."

"He wants to kill you, but he can't bear to do it."

"Are you enemies? You look like brothers to me."

Gu Yanbai's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this, and he was immediately filled with murderous intent, "Brother? Humph, he will die in my hands sooner or later."

Jiang Qingwu was completely confused. What on earth were these two people doing?

They spoke more harshly than each other, but deep down, they probably wanted to kiss each other twice.

"I don't know what your relationship is, but when he heard you vomited blood, he ran out like crazy."

"I placed you in Beiyuan and invited an imperial physician to stay here all night and feed you medicine again and again."

"Don't you want to be heartless?"

Jiang Qingwu paced in front of Gu Yanbai with indignation, but Gu Yanbai sneered indifferently.

"Haha... I have no conscience. It's the other way around. He should be the one who has no conscience."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai began to look at Jiang Qingwu, "Are you...jealous?"

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai sneered, "Do you think he was with me last night instead of you?"

"You're jealous of the wrong thing."

Jiang Qingwu's pupils trembled, and then he took a step forward, "Jealous? Jealous of you, are you crazy? How could I... possibly..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Qingwu felt dizzy and his limbs suddenly became weak.

Everything went dark before his eyes and he fell down.

"Hey... Hello, Jiang Qingwu..." Gu Yanbai was also confused. He covered his chest, struggled to get up, and moved towards Jiang Qingwu.

"Hey, Jiang Qingwu, wake up, what's wrong with you, you..." Gu Yanbai shook Jiang Qingwu repeatedly, but the next moment he realized something.

Smoke was coming in from the direction of the window.

"Smoke?" Gu Yanbai immediately covered his mouth and nose, but it was too late. He soon collapsed beside Jiang Qingwu.

When Jiang Qingwu woke up again, it was raining heavily outside.

Jiang Qingwu opened his eyes dazedly, but was startled.

The Queen Mother was actually sitting on a couch not far away, and she was accompanied by a room full of her confidants, who filled the entire room.

"Ah..." Jiang Qingwu suddenly stood up.

"How could I..." Jiang Qingwu murmured in a trance, and remembered something while brainstorming.

He fainted in the west wing, and she was lying on the bed in the west wing.

"Are you still not awake? We've been tricked." Gu Yanbai's voice came.

Jiang Qingwu then realized that Gu Yanbai was kneeling in the corner of the bed with his hands tied, looking at her with a disapproving look and shaking his head.

"Look at this scene, they are caught in bed together, don't you understand?"

Jiang Qingwu's head buzzed, and he looked up at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, it's not like that."

"If it's not like this, then what could it be? I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"

"If I hadn't dragged this thief off the bed, you would still be dreaming."

Although they were all wearing clothes, it would be a huge scandal if the Queen Mother really caught them lying on the same bed.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly stood up and knelt before the Queen Mother.

"Queen, this is not true. We are being plotted against."

As soon as Jiang Qingwu finished speaking, Gu Yanbai sneered, "What's the point of explaining to this old witch?"

"I didn't realize it was designed by her?"

"Why else would she, a queen mother, suddenly come here to catch an adulterer?"

I was so flustered just now that I didn't think much about it.

Now that I think about it, it’s true.

Why did the Queen Mother know about their affair? Why did she go out of the palace to catch an adulterer? Was it just a coincidence that she happened to come to the palace?

"Where is Yan Xiuchen?" Jiang Qingwu calmed down, stood up and prepared to go out.

But after taking two steps, he was blocked by two maids.

With a ruler in his hand, he forced her back.

"You are brave enough to scold me, but you are not stupid." The Queen Mother glanced at Gu Yanbai, stood up and walked towards Jiang Qingwu.

"It doesn't matter if it's me or not."

"You had an affair with this thief in the palace, and I and so many eyes saw it all."

"Someone, drag her out and beat her!"

Seeing the two maids coming to pull her away, Jiang Qingwu also became annoyed. She turned around and shouted, "Let's see who dares!"
