Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The Anxiang Pavilion that Luke mentioned was openly a place that sold incense.

There are spices and powders used by women, as well as various kinds of incense that are burned at home on a daily basis.

When Jiang Qingwu and the others entered the door, the shopkeeper looked a little strange.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu winked at Su Wenli, and Su Wenli immediately understood and left the store.

"Boss, the incense in my Buddhist altar is all used up. Do you have any recommendations?"

Seeing Jiang Qingwu's calm question, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Agarwood and sandalwood are both good. I just got some top-quality sandalwood. I'll go get it for the girl."

Having said that, the shopkeeper went to the inner room.

Seeing that the shopkeeper slipped away quickly, Jiang Qingwu took advantage of the shop assistants' inattention and chased him straight into the inner room.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper went straight from the inner room to the backyard and was about to slip away in a hurry.

But he was blocked by Su Wenli who climbed over the wall.

"Boss, where are you going?" Su Wenli was holding a knife in his hand. The boss was so scared that he immediately stepped back, but when he turned around, Jiang Qingwu had already caught up with him.

"Why are you running? I can still eat people, right?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the shopkeeper immediately knelt down and said, "Miss Jiang, please spare my life, please spare my life..."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu sneered and approached him, "So you know my identity. Tell me, who is your master?"

"This... this, girl, girl, spare me, I am just a small character, I really dare not say it, I can't say it."

"You dare not say it, you can't say it? How about this." As he said that, Jiang Qingwu took out the gold medal from his arms.

When the other party saw the gold medal, his face changed drastically and he swallowed his saliva.

"What would you do if someone else took out a gold medal?"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper muttered hesitantly, "I will inform...Mr. Bai."

Mr. Bai? Bai Ge?! It really is him.

Jiang Qingwu complained in his heart and gestured to the shopkeeper, "You can inform him now. Don't say anything extra."

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper stood up tremblingly, took out a carrier pigeon from the pigeon cage, and then released it.

"Yes, it will take half an hour."

Jiang Qingwu nodded and chuckled, "Okay, make a pot of tea, I'll be waiting..."

"……Yes."

In the inner room, Jiang Qingwu and Su Wenli were sitting at the table, and the shopkeeper did make some tea and brought it over.

Just as Jiang Qingwu and Su Wenli were becoming more cautious and hesitating whether to drink tea, shouts were heard from outside the store.

"Is the shopkeeper here?"

Jiang Qingwu heard the voice and gestured to the shopkeeper, "Go ahead."

Seeing the person walking away, Jiang Qingwu took a cup of tea and walked towards the carrier pigeon in the yard, pouring the tea into the pigeon's water bowl.

I saw with my own eyes that the pigeon drank the water and fell into the cage.

"How cruel." Jiang Qingwu threw the teacup away casually. When he turned back, there was an extra person at the table.

Gu Yanbai sat in the same position he had just sat, with his feet crossed, playing the flute, and looking at her with an unruly smile on his face.

"My little beauty, what a coincidence."

"Gu Yanbai? What are you doing here?" Jiang Qingwu looked confused, but soon realized something.

"You followed me?"

Gu Yanbai said nothing, his face darkened slightly, revealing a bit of seriousness, "I came here because I want you to come with me."

"What?" Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai in surprise and sat down puzzled.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai repeated seriously, "Achen drank to drown his sorrows for you and got drunk. I don't want to see him like this."

"So, I'm here to ask you to follow me back to the palace."

Jiang Qingwu stared at Gu Yanbai in a daze, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

"He... is drunk?"

"Yes, I got drunk last night after I came back from your place."

"You were the one who said those drunken words. I don't know why you did that, but I don't want to see him sad."

Gu Yanbai said, moving closer to Jiang Qingwu with a serious face, "You should know better than me that he is not the kind of person who is sad about the passing of time and drinks to drown his sorrows."

"You...what on earth did you do to him to make him like this!"

Jiang Qingwu was a little dazed. He sat in the chair and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"I, what can I do to him? You said that as if I bullied him!"

Jiang Qingwu suddenly felt a little aggrieved, but more of a feeling of bewilderment.

She thought Gu Yanbai followed her here to check the gold medal and the people who were helping Fuye behind the scenes.

But she never expected that he came here for Yan Xiuchen.

Even Su Wenli, who was standing by, seemed a little dazed. He interrupted blankly, "You...you came here for His Highness."

"What else? He's my brother. She made him unhappy, so of course I have to come find her."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai looked towards Jiang Qingwu, "He is a man who is not good at talking and has a heavy mind. He always keeps all the things and sufferings in his heart."

“You know this.”

"He suffered so much for you, and you don't even remember it..."

"Wait..." Jiang Qingwu raised his hand to interrupt Gu Yanbai and lowered his voice to him.

"I, of course I remember everything. You are..."

"Are you here to call me to task? In what capacity are you here to call me to task? Why does it sound so strange to me?"

"Gu Yanbai, do you know why I came here?"

Gu Yanbai looked bewildered and shook his head gently, "I don't know. No matter what I come here to do, it's not as important as Achen."

Jiang Qingwu calmed down, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and looked at Gu Yanbai in disbelief, still a little stunned.

And Gu Yanbai also reacted, "You, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Su Wenli sat up straight and said with some clarity, "We found a gold medal on Fuye's people."

"So, we are here to find the truth, that is, to find the person who really wants to kill you."

I thought that after hearing this, Gu Yanbai would focus on revenge and finding the truth.

He would cooperate with Jiang Qingwu and even ask about the current situation.

But when Jiang Qingwu was about to tell Gu Yanbai about the shopkeeper.

Gu Yanbai spoke first, "These are not important."

"What?" Jiang Qingwu froze and stared at Gu Yanbai in a daze.

Gu Yanbai chuckled and looked at Jiang Qingwu seriously.

"Did you tell Achen that I wanted revenge and wanted to know the truth?"

"I want revenge and the truth, but I care more about the latter than living peacefully with him now."

"If I have to choose between the two, I don't want revenge or the truth."

“…He has given me what I wanted most.”

"So, whether it's revenge or the truth, it doesn't matter. You don't have to do anything under the name of it."

"I just hope he can be happy, and I also hope you can treat him well and not hurt his feelings."

Jiang Qingwu was confused, and so was Su Wenli.

The two of them looked at Gu Yanbai like sculptures, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

"You...Gu, Gu Yanbai, you, you are sick in the brain."

Jiang Qingwu suddenly stood up.

"I'm fighting for you, trying to find out the truth for you. I want to avenge you, but you're blaming me here?"

"You...you, you can't really fall in love with him..."

"It sounds to me like this is a lovelorn girl who has a crush on Yan Xiuchen and came to me to assert her sovereignty."

"You know, he doesn't like men."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but speak out, and kept defending himself agitatedly.

Gu Yanbai's face was startled, he looked up at Jiang Qingwu, and seeing her serious look, he felt a little bit of unruly in his heart, and a playful smile appeared in his eyes.

"Really? I don't know if he likes guys, but I know...he likes me."

"In his heart, I am as important as you. Naturally, he is also the most important person to me."

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat. He frowned and looked at Gu Yanbai in surprise.

Is this a joke or is it true?

Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen, they wouldn't really...

Although he had joked about it before, at this moment, Jiang Qingwu had this terrible idea so seriously for the first time.

Suddenly I had the urge to slap myself to wake myself up.
