Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai in surprise.

Gu Yanbai unexpectedly entered the palace quietly and moved freely around Shangyang Palace.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Yanbai smiled softly and walked towards Yan Xiuchen in confusion, "I have the token of His Royal Highness the Regent, who dares to stop me..."

As Gu Yanbai spoke, he took off the Regent's gold medal from his waist and shook it in his hand, "You gave it to me."

"As Gu Qing said, only a few princes have this thing."

"Now, there are only two people who have this token and are still alive."

"Yours is with me, and the other one is in the hands of Yan Xiujin, the King of Jiangnan Pingqing."

Yan Xiuchen knew that Gu Yanbai was talking about Jiang Qingwu going to Anxiang Pavilion to look for clues.

He also knew that Jiang Qingwu had found the gold medal, but had lost the clue.

Yan Xiuchen's face darkened, and he looked at the token in Gu Yanbai's hand and said, "I give you this token to protect you and facilitate your entry and exit."

"I know. I'm asking if it's Prince Pingqing..."

"No, you know very well in your heart that it's not him, don't bother."

Gu Yanbai nodded gently and said thoughtfully, "I don't think he is Prince Pingqing either."

"Yan Xiujin is indifferent and unrestrained. He has stayed in Jiangnan for many years. Apart from you, there has never been anything or anyone that interests him in the capital or in the court."

Gu Yanbai said, looking at the token in his hand, "Could it be you?"

"Were you the one who gave the token to the Fuye people and helped them reach Dayan and the capital?"

Knowing that Gu Yanbai didn’t really think that way and was just saying it on purpose, Yan Xiuchen naturally didn’t take it seriously.

She didn't even answer him at all, and changed the subject directly, "You haven't answered me yet, why are you here?"

Gu Yanbai came back to his senses, sighed and put away the token, "I originally wanted to go to the palace to ask that old woman something, who knows..."

“Who knew that Jiang Qingyu would stop me, and this token would be useless.”

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly and said helplessly, "Jiang Qingyu and I have specifically told you not to set foot in Fenghe Palace."

"Yes, he was just guarding against me. If he wasn't the little beauty's biological brother, I would definitely break in."

Yan Xiuchen frowned and approached, questioning with a sharp gaze, "You just said that the man's name was Bai Ruosheng..."

"How did you know that?"

"Oh, that's what Jiang Qingyu said." Gu Yanbai said indifferently, leaning against the wall and raising the corners of his lips to look at Yan Xiuchen.

"Originally, the little girl entered the palace with Jiang Qingyu and the others, and met Bai Ruosheng on the way."

"Jiang Qingyu said that the little girl got off the car halfway because of Bai Ruosheng and went to look for him."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai moved closer to Yan Xiuchen with a playful smile, "Your Highness, the beauty you've been dreaming of is about to be snatched away by someone else."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen put away the golden bronze fan with a rustle, turned around and walked away quickly.

Jiu Ye looked at Gu Yanbai, bowed his head slightly, and chased after Yan Xiuchen, "Godfather, Young Master... aren't you going to take him out of the palace with you?"

"It's good that he can't enter Fenghe Palace. As for the rest, let him do whatever he wants."

After Yan Xiuchen finished speaking, his pace slowed down involuntarily, as if he suddenly remembered something.

When I turned to look at Gu Yanbai, he was gone.

"Go there in person and investigate Bai Ruosheng thoroughly. Find out all his details."

Yan Xiuchen gave instructions as he walked back.

"Godfather, why are you back again? Where are you going?"

Nearly half of the remote paths in the deep palace have been abandoned and are becoming increasingly desolate.

But Gu Yanbai was familiar with the route and soon found a palace that had long been abandoned.

The three characters "Xifeng Palace" were inscribed on the door plaque outside the courtyard gate. The plaque was crooked and half fallen off, and was covered with cobwebs and dust.

The long-abandoned villa was in ruins, with broken walls and a mess, and there was not even a place to stay.

Gu Yanbai looked around and walked in slowly.

The extremely luxurious brocade clothes formed a sharp contrast with the dusty and dilapidated courtyard.

The last time he was here, he was only fourteen years old, and now he is twenty-four.

In ten years, he changed from a bright and handsome young man into a murderous monster.

"Who is trespassing in the restricted area..." a shout suddenly came.

A small team of imperial guards discovered Gu Yanbai who had trespassed, rushed in from outside the door, and quickly surrounded him.

"The palace is a forbidden place. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy. Capture him..."

A loud shout came from behind, and someone was drawing his sword and approaching. Gu Yanbai immediately showed the gold medal on his body.

Everyone looked at the gold medal and knelt on the ground.

"Get out..." Gu Yanbai shouted without even turning his head. Everyone looked at each other, put away their knives and left the yard.

Everyone retreated, but they didn't dare to leave. The leading imperial guard hesitated for a moment, waved to the people around him, and said, "Report to Commander Jiang immediately."

"No need." Yan Xiuchen suddenly appeared and stopped the imperial guards.

"See Prince Regent!"

"Don't publicize what happened today. Back off."

"Yes."

Yan Xiuchen looked at the imperial guards walking away, raised his head to look at the plaque on the door of Xifeng Palace, and felt as if something was pulling at his heart.

Yan Xiuchen did not go in. He stood at the gate of the yard, looking at the white figure that appeared and disappeared in the yard, and did not dare to go forward.

He didn't know what to say, and was afraid of what Gu Yanbai would ask him.

From his childhood to now, from Gu Yanbai to Jiang Qingwu, and to all the dusty secrets, he knows everything.

In other words, he is the only one in the entire Dayan who knows all the secrets and stories.

He was the only one who had to bear the pain hidden deep in his heart that could not be expressed.

Gu Yanbai didn't know that Yan Xiuchen was outside the door. Looking at the signs of burning everywhere in the house, he walked straight to the innermost room.

He moved the overturned cabinet away, as if looking for something. His moonlight-white brocade clothes were instantly stained beyond recognition.

“It’s clearly here, how could it be…” Gu Yanbai murmured, his mind inevitably reminiscing about his youth.

[The red agate on this dagger is extremely rare and priceless. I only have this one, so I’ll give it to you as a birthday gift.]

[It's very beautiful. I have to keep it as a treasure. ]

Gu Yanbai thought about it and couldn't help but rummage through the burnt wooden box, but he still couldn't find the ruby ​​dagger that Yan Xiuchen gave him.

Just as Gu Yanbai was absentmindedly looking for something, suddenly a barely visible commotion came closer and closer to him.

It was not until he reached him that Gu Yanbai suddenly came to his senses.

He turned around and was met with a sword that was stabbing at him.

Gu Yanbai dodged in time and was tripped by the messy broken wood under his feet.

When I looked again, the sword was already in front of me.

In panic, he didn't have the strength to fight back and could only subconsciously raise his hand to block it. He thought he would be hit hard no matter what.

But I heard the sound of the other person falling to the ground.

"Brother?!" Gu Yanbai looked up and saw Yan Xiuchen standing in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Get up." Yan Xiuchen turned around and pulled the man up. Seeing the rummaged-through wooden box under Gu Yanbai's feet, he instantly understood something.

Just when he was losing consciousness, seven or eight men in black rushed in.

The same attire as the person the Queen Mother sent to kill him last time.

With crossbows tied to their hands and knives in their hands, they were dressed in black and had their faces masked, and they surrounded the two men.

"It seems that countless eyes in the palace are staring at you." Yan Xiuchen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he tightly grasped the golden bronze fan in his hand.

Gu Yanbai also came back to his senses and looked at Yan Xiuchen, "Aren't you going to look for that Bai Ruosheng? What are you doing here?"

Yan Xiuchen ignored Gu Yanbai and looked at the few people, "You are so brave, you dare to touch my people."
