Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

With a blockade in front and no way out behind, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but feel a little confused as he watched the men in black quickly pushing them to the wall.

"Put me down." Just as the two were confronting each other, Gu Yanbai woke up.

Yan Xiuchen came back to his senses, put Gu Yanbai down and supported him.

"It's okay. Jiuhan Jiuye will be here soon..."

Gu Yanbai leaned against the wall, covered his shoulder, and shook his head, "I know my limits, I'm fine... Don't worry about me!"

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai glanced at Jiang Qingwu and whispered to Yan Xiuchen, "I'm returning the person... to you. You owe me one. Listen to me."

"Don't talk nonsense, we have to go together." Jiang Qingwu interrupted and looked up at Yan Xiuchen, "You deal with Shen Zhuowen, and leave the rest to me."

Shen Zhuowen, who was not far away, saw that the relationship between the three people was not affected at all. His face darkened layer by layer and his eyes were filled with deep doubts.

"I checked Gu Yanbai..."

"He is not the real prince of Sang, but a Gu person who escaped from Fuye."

Shen Zhuowen suddenly spoke, sword in hand, and walked towards Yan Xiuchen and the others.

"Poison master?" Jiang Qingwu murmured in astonishment, turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, and saw that his face was calm, so he understood something.

Yan Xiuchen knew it very clearly.

"How did a Fuye vessel escape from Fuye and reach Sang?"

"I found out that the ruler of Sang State thought highly of him and even made him a prince, recognized him as his godfather, and designated him as the crown prince."

"But..." Shen Zhuowen said, looking at Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen with suspicion.

"You two knew each other before you went to Fuye, right? What is the relationship between you two..."

Yan Xiuchen sneered, took a step forward, and stood in front of Gu Yanbai and Jiang Qingwu.

Gu Yanbai also calmed himself down, holding onto the wall with one hand and Jiang Qingwu with the other, and stood up a little straighter, as if he was ready to fight to the death at any time.

"Do you want to know? When you die, I will burn it for you." Yan Xiuchen's words blocked all of Shen Zhuowen's doubts.

When Shen Zhuowen heard this, he became completely annoyed. He stopped pestering and waved to the men around him.

"Kill Yan Xiuchen..."

Just as the crowd approached and Yan Xiuchen started fighting with them, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the distance.

The palace's fire signal exploded in the dark night sky. Jiuhan and Jiuye, together with Jiang Qingbai and a small number of personal guards, quickly rushed over.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Shen Zhuowen instantly realized something, his face changed, and he immediately stopped his people.

"withdraw."

Seeing Shen Zhuowen and the man in black running away, Jiang Qingwu subconsciously wanted to chase them, but was stopped by Yan Xiuchen.

"Don't chase us. Shen Zhuowen's martial arts are not weak. If any of us falls into his hands, there will be another confrontation."

"They won't be able to escape for long."

As Yan Xiuchen spoke, he put away the golden bronze fan, and Jiuhan Jiuye and Jiang Qingbai hurried over.

"Brother." Jiang Qingwu shouted and immediately ran towards Jiang Qingbai.

Jiang Qingbai also hurriedly hugged him, "Awu, how are you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Jiang Qingwu echoed.

"Where is Yan Lin?" Yan Xiuchen asked, looking around.

Jiang Qingbai sighed secretly and bowed, "She was rescued by the Shen family."

"But I have already sent people to search the mountain. Tomorrow morning, the entire peach forest will be searched thoroughly."

Yan Xiuchen nodded slightly and turned to walk towards Gu Yanbai.

"How are you? I'll carry you..."

Gu Yanbai was sober now and refused to let Yan Xiuchen carry him no matter what.

"I can walk... I don't need to be carried..."

“Why are you being so pretentious? It’s not like I’ve carried someone on my back before.” Having said that, Yan Xiuchen started to carry Gu Yanbai on his back.

"Godfather, let me do it." Jiuhan rushed forward, but was stopped by Yan Xiuchen as soon as he finished speaking.

"Nothing, prepare the carriage, and have someone notify the palace to have the imperial physician come to the North Garden to wait for orders."

"Yes, godfather."

In the carriage back to the city, Gu Yanbai woke up not long after, and fell on Yan Xiuchen while bandaging his wounds.

"Brother, I...will take a nap."

Yan Xiuchen took out a medicine bottle from the medicine box in the carriage and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

"Eat this and then go to sleep."

Gu Yanbai took the medicine in a daze, lay on Yan Xiuchen's legs, and fell asleep.

Jiang Qingwu packed up the medicine box, looked at the sleeping Gu Yanbai, untied Yan Xiuchen's outer robe on his body, handed it to Yan Xiuchen, and gestured to him.

"Cover him up, don't let him catch a cold."

"How are you? Are you really not hurt?" Yan Xiuchen wrapped his clothes around Gu Yanbai and looked up at Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu shook his head, poured himself a glass of water and held it tightly.

The surroundings became quiet, and Jiang Qingwu felt a little uneasy.

I wanted to say something, but I didn't know how to start. Thinking of what Shen Wanrong said, I even felt guilty and didn't dare to look up at Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen also seemed to have noticed something, and looked at Jiang Qingwu who lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.

After hesitating for a long time, he spoke cautiously, "Are you scared?"

"What?" Jiang Qingwu looked up in surprise.

Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly and gently held her hand, "I'm asking if I scared you."

Jiang Qingwu shook his head in a daze, "No, no."

"Don't think too much, go back and have a good sleep."

Yan Xiuchen didn't say anything and didn't mention that matter.

But the more he didn't mention it, the more Jiang Qingwu felt like there was a lump in his heart.

When the carriage passed Fenghua Street, Jiang Qingwu suddenly stopped the carriage.

Yan Xiuchen, who had squinted his eyes, suddenly woke up. Seeing Jiang Qingwu was about to get off the car, he hurriedly grabbed her.

"It's almost dawn, let's go to the palace."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen whispered to Jiuhan who was driving, "Let's go."

In the Regent's Palace, Gu Yanbai was sent to the west wing.

Yan Xiuchen, Jiuhan Jiuye, the imperial physician, and Tan Xi all went to take care of Gu Yanbai.

Jiang Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the main house.

As soon as he came in, Tan Xi followed and bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwu.

"Miss, I will help you change your clothes..."

Jiang Qingwu was stunned. He just saw Tan Xi go to the west wing, and in the blink of an eye he followed her here. He thought it was Yan Xiuchen's order.

"Go prepare some hot water. I'll take a shower first. Ask the kitchen to prepare some food and send it over."

"Yes, there is always hot water. I will give the order right away."

In the bathroom next to the main house, Jiang Qingwu buried his whole body in the warm bathtub.

The hot air, mixed with the fragrance of flowers floating on the water, made Jiang Qingwu a little dazed and trance-like.

I was indeed tired. I had been tossing and turning for a whole day and night, as if I had gone through a long season.

"Girl, is the water temperature okay?" Tan Xi asked in a low voice, and brought the pajamas to the screen not far away, and brought over some cold tea.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu took the herbal tea, gulped down a few gulps, and buried his body again.

Looking at Tan Xi who was serving beside him, his thoughts were a little vague, "How is Gu Yanbai? What did the imperial physician say?"

"Mr. Gu is not in danger of death, his injuries are not serious, but there is no antidote for the poison in his body, but he should be fine..."

As he spoke, Tan Xi scooped up some hot water and gently poured it on Jiang Qingwu's shoulders.

"Miss, please don't worry about Master Gu. I see that your shoulders are covered with bruises. Do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

Jiang Qingwu was startled for a moment, and gently touched the back of his shoulder with his hand, suddenly thinking of something.

In the dungeon, when Gu Yanbai pushed her hard against the wall, she did bump into it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Tan Xi, tell me, does Yan Xiuchen...care a lot?"
