Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

A question was asked, but no one answered.

Jiang Qingwu concentrated for a long time before he reacted. He opened his eyes slightly and let out a wry smile.

"Forget it. If he believes it, he will believe it even if I don't tell him. If he doesn't believe it, he won't believe it even if I tell him."

"Whether you say it or not, no matter what you say... I believe it." Suddenly a voice came from behind.

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously dodged.

When she turned around, she found that it was Yan Xiuchen standing behind her, lifting up his sleeves to help her scoop hot water.

"There is no need for explanation between you and me. No matter what happens, my feelings will not change."

Jiang Qingwu met Yan Xiuchen's warm gaze, and her heart gradually calmed down, and her thoughts were pulled back.

"You...when did you come? I was...taking a bath?"

Yan Xiuchen sneered secretly when he heard the voice, then sat down on the chair next to the bathtub, and reached out to pull back Jiang Qingwu who was dodging.

"Do we still need to hide between you and me?"

Yan Xiuchen had a smile on his lips. He pushed Jiang Qingwu back to her original position and carefully wiped her shoulder.

"It's a big bruise. I'll help you apply medicine later."

Jiang Qingwu felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and he finally spoke with his back to Yan Xiuchen.

"You... don't listen to Shen Wanrong's nonsense... what she... saw was not real."

When Yan Xiuchen heard Jiang Qingwu's words, the corners of his lips curled up secretly, "I know."

"You're talking nonsense. I can see that when you heard Shen Wanrong say that, you must have thought..."

"Yes." Yan Xiuchen interrupted Jiang Qingwu and muttered in a trance.

"When I went there, I had already prepared for the worst."

"The Shen family is good at using tricks and poisons, I know that..."

"But when I saw you, I already knew the truth."

"If that really happened, then among the three of us, I was the only one who was wrong."

"I failed to protect you."

Jiang Qingwu listened to Yan Xiuchen's words, turned around and looked at him, his eyes firm and calm.

"You mean, if their evil plan succeeds."

"You don't blame him, and you don't blame me either? Is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

When their eyes met, Jiang Qingwu suddenly felt relieved.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

If it really happened, Yan Xiuchen could pretend that nothing had happened.

Even if the alliance between them would not be broken up, the relationship between the three of them would not be the same as before.

Jiang Qingwu turned around and sat back, leaning against the bathtub and lost in thought, "Do you want to know what happened at that time?"

Yan Xiuchen was silent for a moment, then moved closer to him, "I guessed it when I knew he was injured."

"But if you want to talk, I'm willing to listen."

Although he believed in Gu Yanbai and Jiang Qingwu even more, he didn't care what happened.

But he knew that only if Jiang Qingwu explained and only if he listened, would she feel at ease.

"When I saw Gu Yanbai, he had already been poisoned."

"On the way...you asked me if I was scared. Actually, I was scared."

“I thought at the time that there was really no way to escape…”

"It was him who quietly reminded me, and then I realized something..."

"Later, we just cooperated and put on a show for Shen Wanrong."

Jiang Qingwu was a little dazed as he spoke. He tilted his head slightly, thinking about something, "He really cares about you."

"When I passed out, I kept calling you and saying sorry."

"He said...he didn't know that the Heart-Eating Gu's poison was so painful before."

Yan Xiuchen listened with a heavy heart, and said thoughtfully, "The heart-eating poison was planted in him..."

Jiang Qingwu thought of Shen Zhuowen's words and turned to look at Yan Xiuchen.

"What is a Gu Ren?"

Yan Xiuchen listened calmly, and when he saw Jiang Qingwu turned around and looked at him,

Then he stroked the wet hair beside Jiang Qingwu's ear, put his hand around her neck, and gently pulled her forward.

"Are you scared?" Yan Xiuchen answered the question irrelevantly and changed the subject.

His eyes were filled with heartache and anxiety, mixed with a strong sense of heat.

Jiang Qingwu was sober at first, but she was still a little dazed as she saw the man approaching her and kissing her lips.

"It's my fault that I failed to protect you. I'm sorry... Gu Qing..." A very light voice, murmured, and soft lips came over.

Just when the two of them were engrossed in their thoughts, Jiu Ye suddenly knocked on the door.

"I'm sorry, young lady. Is His Highness in there? Master Gu has woken up..."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Qingwu subconsciously pulled away and buried his body in the water.

"Yes... yes!" Jiang Qingwu replied hesitantly, motioning to Yan Xiuchen, "You go see Gu Yanbai first."

Yan Xiuchen took a deep breath, stood up and straightened his clothes.

When he passed by Jiang Qingwu, he couldn't help but lean over half of his body and kissed her on the lips, "Wait for me!"

The sky was slightly bright, and in the darkness, there was a slight glimmer of light, and the air became damp and slightly cool.

When the imperial physician saw Yan Xiuchen coming in, he silently put the medicine aside and saluted to Yan Xiuchen.

"Your Highness, the young master is fine now. The strongest effect of the Heart-Eating Gu has passed, and he should be fine from now on."

"You go down." Yan Xiuchen agreed and sat down beside the bed.

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen weakly and sighed softly, "Didn't I tell you it's okay? My own poison... won't kill me."

Having said that, Gu Yanbai sat up with difficulty.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen helped the man up and picked up the bowl of medicine beside him.

"You drink it yourself, or I feed you."

Gu Yanbai smiled when he heard that, "Since you said so, of course you feed me."

Yan Xiuchen did not refute. He sat quietly beside the bed and brought the medicine to his mouth.

Gu Yanbai had a smile on his lips as he stared at Yan Xiuchen and leaned towards him.

"When you were in Taolin, you said you wanted to kill me. Is that true or false?"

Yan Xiuchen frowned helplessly and said softly, "What do you think?"

"It sounded real to me."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai smiled and moved closer, "If I was really bewitched by the drug and violated Gu Qing, would you really kill me?"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai impatiently, sighed softly, and said with certainty, "Yes."

Hearing this, Gu Yanbai sat up straighter and shouted angrily, "I'm the victim, you want to kill me?"

"Are you going to take the medicine or not? If not, I'm leaving."

“Drink, drink, drink. I’ll drink.” Gu Yanbai echoed again and again, opening his mouth to gesture towards Yan Xiuchen, “Ah…”

Yan Xiuchen shook his head helplessly and then handed the medicine over.

After drinking the medicine, Gu Yanbai's face became serious. Looking at Yan Xiuchen's serious and calm expression, he still felt a little uneasy.

"I, I think I still need to explain this to you."

"I'm serious, I swear, I really didn't touch her, but..."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai sat up straight, and said with a guilty look on his face, "But at that time... I was indeed a little confused..."

"I, I'm not sure if she was hurt... You, you check if she's...hurt..."

"You...you just believe me!"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai intently and saw that he was avoiding her gaze and looked a little embarrassed.

He lowered his eyes and nodded, "I believe you. Even if you don't say it, I understand it. There is no need for us to talk about this..."

"It's still early, you should get some more sleep and take good care of your injuries."

Seeing Yan Xiuchen was about to leave, Gu Yanbai panicked, opened his mouth, and said hesitantly, "Brother, can you..."

Yan Xiuchen was stunned, turned around and looked at Gu Yanbai, waiting for him to speak.

"what?"

"Can you stay with me until I fall asleep... before leaving?"
