Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When Gu Yanbai heard Yan Xiuchen's words, he subconsciously looked at him.

He has been hating him all these years and dreamed of hearing these words.

I want to go back to Yan Xiuchen, to be protected by him, to be loved and cared for by him.

This moment seemed to pull him back to the past.

Same place, same person. Fortunately, in all these years of hating him, he never once wanted to really kill him.

"Following orders, Gu Yanbai will kill without mercy."

Hearing this, Gu Yanbai, who was standing behind Yan Xiuchen, sneered, "Recently, no one has come to assassinate me for a long time."

"Life is meaningless now."

Gu Yanbai laughed at himself, then picked up the sword of the man on the ground and rushed forward without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen hurried forward to help.

Yan Xiuchen had sent away the Imperial Guards before, and no one had ever passed by this place.

The two were isolated and helpless, and the opponents were all masters. They fought for a long time before they suppressed each other.

Five died and three escaped. Yan Xiuchen was also scratched on the chest while protecting Gu Yanbai.

Although the wound was shallow, the blood still stained his inky robe.

Gu Yanbai looked at the injured Yan Xiuchen, feeling a little distressed, and shouted softly, "Aren't you going to find Bai Ruosheng and Gu Qing?"

"What are you running back for?"

Yan Xiuchen put away the golden bronze fan and glanced at Gu Yanbai, as if he had seen through something. "It's just a superficial wound, it's nothing serious."

"You haven't answered me yet, what are you doing back here?"

"The Red Guards...can't enter the palace." Yan Xiuchen murmured in a low voice, then walked out.

Gu Yanbai also understood instantly and followed Yan Xiuchen.

Since the Chihong Guards could not enter the palace, they had no way to protect Gu Yanbai.

Yan Xiuchen was planning to leave the palace, but when he thought of this, he immediately turned back.

"I understand!"

Yan Xiuchen was silent for a moment after hearing the voice, then stopped and turned to look at Gu Yanbai, "What do you understand?"

"I asked Jiang Qingyu and Yuya to enter the palace. On the surface, they were there to accompany the Queen Mother, but in reality, they were there to monitor her and put her under house arrest to prevent her from secretly deploying forces to kill me."

"Letting Jiang Qingbai take over the Imperial Guards is to investigate the Imperial Guards and other places in the palace."

"Investigate whether there are any spies from the Shen family, Yan Lin's spies, and... the people who are behind the scenes harming me, the assassins who are lying in ambush."

"Also, you came back here because you knew that the Red Guards could not enter the palace and could not protect me."

"You guessed that I came here. This place is remote and deserted. If there are assassins in the palace, they will definitely not miss such a good opportunity to kill me."

"You were worried about my safety, so you didn't leave the palace."

Gu Yanbai said this with a smile on his face as he walked towards him.

"In fact, you have always cared about me..."

"Maybe, from the beginning to the end, you have never abandoned me and have always cared about me...right?"

These words were so corny, but they also touched Yan Xiuchen's heart, as if he saw through his heart.

Yan Xiuchen was a little at a loss. Looking at Gu Yanbai who was looking at him with burning eyes, he avoided his gaze in time.

Gu Yanbai felt warm in his heart, and a teasing smile rose at the corner of his mouth, approaching him, "Since you care about me so much, you should say it out."

"Don't be so cold all the time. I thought you had your own reasons for abandoning me..."

"But now I understand and I don't blame you. If you care about me, just protect me openly..."

Gu Yanbai spoke as he moved closer to Yan Xiuchen, his eyes filled with a fiery glow.

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly and became flustered. His hands, which were holding the golden bronze fan, were sweating.

Seeing Gu Yanbai reaching out his hand, Yan Xiuchen's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously turned away, then strode away.

"Yan Xiuchen, you really can't help teasing me. I'm your brother, do you really think I'm gay and I'm in love with you?"

Gu Yanbai shouted jokingly and trotted after him.

"Hey, don't leave. Let's discuss the matter between Su Wenli and Bai Ruosheng. We can't give this beauty away to anyone else..."

……

In the evening, Jiang Qingwu received the fire signal from Luo Mingfang and hurried to Fulu Inn on South Street.

When she and Wanyue arrived, there was already a fight going on inside the Fulu Inn.

A dozen thugs came from nowhere and smashed the inn.

Even though Luo Ming protected Bai Ruosheng behind him, Bai Ruosheng was still further injured.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu grabbed the teapot on the table beside him and smashed it through the air, hitting a man on the head.

"General..." Bai Ruosheng looked at the gangster lying on the ground in front of him, then looked at Jiang Qingwu. His eyes lit up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned against the pillar.

“Go, go, go this way…” Several people shouted and rushed towards Jiang Qingwu.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the lawless street scoundrels, jumped over the wooden table, and knocked several of them to the ground without even drawing his sword.

He could only scream and couldn't get up.

When Bai Ruosheng came to his senses, Jiang Qingwu was already sitting steadily at the table, pouring himself some tea.

"We've ruined this wonderful inn." Jiang Qingwu said softly, holding the teacup, he turned around and stepped on the chest of the leader.

Looking at the fat man lying at his feet, Jiang Qingwu seemed to remember something.

"You were the one who scolded me in the street during the day, right?"

The other party suddenly came to his senses, looked at Jiang Qingwu, and begged for mercy, "Miss... Miss, please spare my life, please spare my life."

"This guy, this guy beat up my wife and overturned my business. I'm just mad at him."

Hearing this, Bai Ruosheng covered his chest and staggered a few steps to the front, "I didn't, you turned the tables yourself, and..."

"You are maliciously slandering me, and you were wrong in the first place."

As he spoke, Bai Ruosheng could no longer stand and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Wan Yue hurriedly supported him, and Luo Ming beside her also hurried over.

"This Mr. Bai is seriously injured, probably with internal injuries."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Bai Ruosheng, turned around and poured the tea in his hand toward the person at his feet.

"If he dies, you have to pay for his life, understand?"

"I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore. Please spare my life, young lady..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Bai Ruosheng who was about to collapse, and did not dare to delay any longer, so he raised his foot and let go of him.

"Get out of here now."

Watching the thugs disappear in a tumbling manner, Jiang Qingwu took out a gold ingot from his arms and threw it at the boss who was hiding behind the counter.

"Take him back to the Marquis' Mansion to treat his injuries." Jiang Qingwu gave the order and was about to leave when Bai Ruosheng grabbed his wrist.

"No... No, I can't go to the Marquis' Mansion."

"The Marquis' Mansion has the best medicine and doctors for healing. You have to come with me."

Jiang Qingwu was firm, but Bai Ruosheng still didn't let go. He looked up at Jiang Qingwu weakly and let out a bitter smile.

"I, I can't go with you. If I...if I go to the Marquis' Mansion, I will...get you into trouble."

Jiang Qingwu had no choice but to pull him away. "I have never been without troubles, and I am not afraid of adding one to yours. Luo Ming, take him away."

Although Jiang Qingwu said so, Bai Ruosheng still refused, pushed Luo Ming away forcefully, and fell into the chair beside the table.

"I'll be at the inn, just call a doctor..."

"My identity... is not suitable. I will go to the Marquis' Mansion."

Jiang Qingwu was a little impatient and stopped arguing, only winking at Luo Ming.

Seeing this, Luo Ming was about to take Bai Ruosheng away by force, but suddenly Yan Xiuchen's voice came from outside the door.

"No, he can't go to the Marquis' Mansion!"
