Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were immersed in the past and he didn't notice Gu Yanbai's actions at all.

When I came to my senses, Gu Yanbai was slowly getting up and pacing towards the lake thoughtfully.

"I thought I could use this thing to blackmail you."

"I didn't expect you to care so much about... this benefactor."

Jiang Qingwu heard Gu Yanbai's murmurs, but he didn't hear them clearly.

"What did you say?"

Gu Yanbai suddenly came back to his senses and chuckled, "Nothing, I was just thinking that Yan Xiuchen loves you so much, but you are just trying to repay him."

"Stop talking nonsense. It's my turn to ask questions."

Gu Yanbai smiled and gestured to Jiang Qingwu.

"What is your relationship with Yan Xiuchen? When did you meet?"

Gu Yanbai put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and smiled, "I know you want to ask this, it's okay to tell you..."

"We have known each other for many years, and we can say that we grew up together."

"We...are brothers."

Jiang Qingwu frowned and stood up suddenly, "Brother? Real brother?"

Gu Yanbai's face suddenly darkened, and then he sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about? If we are brothers, then I can also become a prince."

Jiang Qingwu slowly calmed down and sat back silently, "That's a friend... who is as close as a brother."

"Brothers are brothers, not friends." Gu Yanbai blurted out in defense, then sat back.

Holding the wine glass, Gu Yanbai's eyes revealed a bit of ruthlessness, "There is another question."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

"How do you know that Yan Lin is not your savior, but Yan Xiuchen is."

Jiang Qingwu was stunned and felt a little at a loss.

She had not anticipated the answer to this question and did not know how to answer it for a moment.

"You said you saw the half jade pendant in Yan Lin's mansion. Have you ever really put it together with your jade pendant and compared them together?"

Jiang Qingwu was startled and shook his head slightly, "No... I don't have it."

"It's just that the jade pendant looks exactly the same, and it's also half a piece, and it happens to be the other half in my hand."

Gu Yanbai smiled contemptuously, "Then how do you know that Yan Xiuchen is, but Yan Lin is not? Have you also seen the jade pendant in Yan Xiuchen's place?"

Jiang Qingwu shook his head again, then sighed secretly and said perfunctorily, "Yes...Yan Lin said it himself, I overheard it."

"But he didn't mention the jade pendant."

Jiang Qingwu felt dazed and uneasy.

Now these doubts seem to indicate more possibilities.

She had never mentioned this to Yan Xiuchen, firstly because she didn't want Yan Xiuchen to think that she was repaying the favor of saving her life.

Second, she had never doubted what Yan Lin said to her before he died in his previous life.

But now she suddenly remembered what Yuya had said before.

So what if Yan Xiuchen is not his savior.

Jiang Qingwu recovered and looked up at Gu Yanbai, "I will get to the bottom of this matter."

"Don't be alarmist here."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu gradually calmed down, looked at Gu Yanbai, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Let me ask you, why did you want to kill Yan Xiuchen, and why... why were you so nice to him?"

"And why does he hate you so much, yet he loves you so much?"

"Heh." Gu Yanbai snorted and laughed, "I treat him well? How can you tell that I treat him well?"

"You don't even allow your men to disrespect him, and you still say it's bad?"

"You are afraid that I will plot against her, so I am afraid you have already investigated me thoroughly."

"Besides, you are chained here and refuse to leave... why are you making chicken soup..."

"answer my question."

Gu Yanbai looked down at the chains on his hands and feet, his face darkened slightly, and he murmured reluctantly.

"He once...abandoned me."

Gu Yanbai was a little dazed, his face full of sorrow and sadness, "Do you know Fuye?"

Jiang Qingwu was startled and nodded heavily, "Fuye is the southern part of Sang State, and its leader Fuye As is ruling a region."

"Rumor has it that the Fuye tribe rules the south with ancient evil magic."

Gu Yanbai heard the voice and sneered. He shook his head slightly, stood up and paced, "Witchcraft?"

"What kind of evil magic is this? It's just an excuse to kill and bloodlust."

"You know, they skin people alive and use their livers to make soup."

"They cut off their flesh for sacrifice, dug out their eyes and cut out their hearts..."

"There, they can do whatever they want through witchcraft."

"It is both a luxury and a blessing for a person to die cleanly and simply..."

Jiang Qingwu's heart trembled slightly and he couldn't help swallowing.

Then he realized something, "You said Yan Xiuchen abandoned you, do you mean he abandoned you in Fuye?"

Gu Yanbai was a little dazed and didn't answer Jiang Qingwu's words at all. He muttered thoughtfully.

"I was seriously ill when I was young and weak for many years. He was the one who took care of me and trusted me with my life and death."

"He protected me from many hardships. We learned martial arts together and spent every day together. We understood and trusted each other."

"So, when that person forced him to choose between the two, either he stayed or I stayed, I planned to stay."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai opened his eyes wide, gradually becoming dissatisfied and angry, and walked towards Jiang Qingwu madly and out of control.

"He's the only person I care about in the world..."

"I thought that I was weak and sickly, and a waste. It was a great bargain to exchange my life for his."

"Don't even mention my life. Even if I have to grind my bones to dust, I will not hesitate to save him."

"For so many years, I have always been in hatred and gratitude."

"I hate him for abandoning me, but I'm also glad... that he abandoned me."

"And when I was on the verge of death countless times, he was serving as the regent in Dayan."

The murderous intent in Gu Yanbai's eyes gradually intensified, and he screamed at the top of his lungs, "I hate him, I hate his current glory, and I hate everything he has."

"I want him to be alone, I want him to have nothing, I want him to pay the price for the choice he made!"

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai in disbelief. In a trance, he vaguely remembered what Yan Xiuchen had said.

He said he was also very pitiful.

It was not until this moment that she understood why Gu Yanbai wanted to kill him but was reluctant to kill him.

I wonder how much suffering he endured to survive in a place like Fuye.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the out-of-control Gu Yanbai and calmed himself down. "Why did you go to help him in the first place? Who was the person who forced him to choose between the two?"

"He is the prince and the regent. Who can force him to..."

"And how...how did you escape from Fuyeh, and how did you become so powerful in Sang Country?"

"Besides, even if someone forced him to choose between the two, I don't believe Yan Xiuchen would use his good brother's life to exchange for his own life."

"Did you ever wonder why he did this?"

"Maybe there's some misunderstanding. Maybe he has his own reasons for doing so..."

Before Jiang Qingwu could finish his words, he angered Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. He took a step forward and grabbed her neck fiercely.
