Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 156: Clouds and Rain in the Valley

When Jiang Qingwu met Yan Xiuchen's gaze, he instantly realized something in his heart.

His eyes were bloodshot, his lust was strong, and his breathing was heavy, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

Even the hand holding her wrist was shaking slightly.

"You...you go away!" Yan Xiuchen suppressed the urge in his heart and slowly let go of Jiang Qingwu with trembling hands.

But the next moment, Jiang Qingwu suddenly reached out, put his arms around his neck and pulled him back.

"Do you still recognize me clearly? I am Jiang Qingwu. Do you... want me?"

She didn't know how she said this, but the throbbing in her heart that she couldn't hide completely burst out when he frantically suppressed the lust in his heart.

Looking at Yan Xiuchen falling towards her, Jiang Qingwu hugged his neck tightly and kissed his lips deeply.

The thin lips were cool, and they penetrated into his hot softness.

It was like dry wood that fanned the flames, shattering the last of his sanity.

Completely out of control, Yan Xiuchen pressed her hard under him. The sound of his frantic and uncontrollable breathing burned in her ears.

"Don't be afraid...I, I'll be gentle!"

She was not afraid, but gradually, she became short of breath and felt weak all over her body.

Facing the violent Yan Xiuchen, she had no idea what to do and could only respond instinctively.

The faint sound echoed softly in the cave, and was then completely covered by the rumbling thunder.

……

Yan Xiuchen and Jiang Qingwu are missing.

At least that's true for Luo Ming, Jiu Ye and others.

Looking from the bottom of the cliff, there is no way to enter the valley.

In the concave valley, there was fog and rain, towering dense forests, poisonous snakes, and wild beasts everywhere, and there was no road at all.

Luo Ming and Jiu Ye had limited number of people with them and soon they scattered and got lost.

The two had no choice but to turn back.

"You stay outside the valley, I will gather people here immediately." Jiu Ye gave the order and hurried away with the two of them.

In the dark, Gu Yanbai's men were closely monitoring Jiu Ye, Luo Ming and others.

Xu Qingran, who escaped from Kyoto Post Station, returned to the city again in the afternoon.

Wearing the hat, he quietly went to the inn where Gu Yanbai was.

"Qingran, meet you, sir."

Gu Yanbai was sitting on the couch beside the bed drinking tea. Seeing Xu Qingran was safe and sound, he smiled secretly, "From my perspective, this matter is settled."

Xu Qingran held a sword in her hand, but her body was soft and gentle, and she performed a feminine greeting in a gentle and soft voice, "Yes, I will live up to your trust, it's done."

"I have already detained Luo Ming, Jiu Ye and others according to the young master's instructions. No one will go to the valley to search for Yan Xiuchen."

Gu Yanbai twirled the green jade flute in his hand and gave a sinister and complacent smile.

"That's good. We can't ruin his good fortune. By the way, how much of the medicine was used? Was it the poison in Jiang Qingwu, or Yan Xiuchen, or..."

"My Lord, it's Yan Xiuchen. It's 100% accurate. Even if he is a master, it's useless."

"But Qingran doesn't understand why the young master would do this."

Gu Yanbai sneered, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Qingran.

"It's because I said a few more words at Liu Shan Tang that caused them to quarrel."

"I have to make amends. My brother is a stubborn person. He cares the most about etiquette and rules..."

"If I don't help him, when will this beauty be his?"

"He should learn this from Yan Lin."

Xu Qingran silently took the teacup and nodded slightly, "Yes, the Third Prince's Mansion is already prepared. As long as the young master gives the order, we can act."

"Okay, let him go. I need to take care of some small matters."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai's face darkened and he gestured to Xu Qingran, "Go, gather the people, and prepare to enter the valley."

"His good thing was accomplished, but mine...is not done yet."

In Fenghe Palace, the Queen Mother was dying.

The emperor and empress, along with a group of imperial doctors, stayed by his side, but were helpless.

Just at this moment, Yan Lin suddenly broke into Fenghe Palace.

The guards couldn't stop him, so they waited until the man entered the door before hurriedly reporting.

"Your Majesty, Queen, the Third Prince requests an audience."

"The third prince? Yan Lin? Isn't he under house arrest in..." Before the queen could finish her words, Yan Lin had already entered the bedroom.

Kneel down and kowtow respectfully to the emperor and empress.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Queen." Yan Lin was dressed in the clothes of a prince and looked energetic.

The emperor was fine, but the queen looked extremely unhappy and stood up and walked towards him.

"Aren't you under house arrest? How dare you leave the house without His Majesty's order and come to the palace?"

Facing the Queen's questioning, Yan Lin was not disrespectful at all, but rather very humble.

"When I learned that the Queen Mother was poisoned, I sought help from the palace's divine doctor and got a pill that can cure all poisons..."

"I dare not delay, so I rushed to the palace. The Queen Mother is out of danger, and I, your son, will take the blame."

As he spoke, Yan Lin took out a medicine bottle from his arms.

When he raised his hand to present it respectfully, the bandaged wound on his wrist was revealed.

It was oozing with red blood and was shocking to look at.

The emperor frowned upon seeing this, "The injury on your wrist..."

"The doctor said that human blood is needed as a medicine guide. It's fine, it's just a minor injury."

The emperor sighed softly, stood up, took the medicine bottle, and helped Yan Lin up.

"Okay, let's get up first."

The Queen opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Yan Lin spoke first, "Thank you, Father."

"I was ignorant before and made a mistake. When the Queen Mother is free, I will definitely admit my guilt and accept the punishment."

"Alright, alright. Considering your contribution in saving the Queen Mother, I will lift your house arrest for now. We can discuss other matters after the Regent returns."

"Yes, I obey your orders."

The queen watched the father and son reconcile, then quietly left the bedroom, waved to her confidants, and lowered her voice.

"Go to the Regent immediately, tell him what happened in the palace, and ask him to come back as soon as possible."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

In the concave valleys, the drizzle falls continuously.

In the cave, there was a crackling sound from the bonfire made of dry firewood and wood.

Jiang Qingwu woke up in a daze, frowning as he felt aches all over his body.

She didn't know how many times she had gone through that, nor did she know when she had fallen asleep completely.

All I knew was that outside the cave, the sky had already become dark.

It was warm all around, with hay and messy clothes beneath him and a cloak wrapped around him.

The glow of a bonfire shed warm light from not far away. Jiang Qingwu looked around but did not see Yan Xiuchen.

I wanted to get up, but as soon as I sat up, I noticed something.

Seeing herself naked, Jiang Qingwu's mind flashed back to the lovemaking and her face turned red.

"You're awake..." Yan Xiuchen's shout made Jiang Qingwu tremble involuntarily.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen coming in from outside in his underwear and holding some dry firewood, Jiang Qingwu subconsciously covered his clothes.

She pursed her lips and shrank back.

Yan Xiuchen paused, lowered his eyes slightly to avoid looking at him, turned around and said, "You, you slept for a long time..."

"I just found some dry firewood in another cave..." Yan Xiuchen added some firewood and turned his back to Jiang Qingwu.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but look outside, and saw her bellyband and pajamas placed next to the campfire.

"That...that..." Jiang Qingwu opened his mouth and pointed at the clothes on the stone wall next to the campfire.

Yan Xiuchen followed the direction of Jiang Qingwu's finger, stood up and walked over, taking the clothes.

Take it together with her skirt.

Looking at the blush on Jiang Qingwu's neck and the faint red fingerprints.

Yan Xiuchen secretly swallowed his saliva, lowered his eyes with a guilty look on his face, "I...I hurt you, didn't I."
