Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

That was the last time Jiang Qingwu called Bai Asheng.

In the dungeon, through an iron barred door, she heard his voice for the last time, hearing him call her a little girl.

After that, she remained in a coma, and even when she woke up, all she could hear was Bai Asheng's voice.

He told her to live well and become a great general who conquered all over the world.

……

A month later, Jiang Qingwu led his troops to attack Sanshui City.

It took only two days to break through the city gate and capture all the enemy troops of Sang State.

"Bai Asheng...Where is Bai Asheng?"

Sanshui City Dungeon.

Jiang Qingwu, dressed in military uniform and holding a sword in his hand, rushed in with Luo Ming and the deputy general.

The cells were full of detained prisoners of war and local thugs, who started shouting when they saw the officers and soldiers.

Jiang Qingwu searched the cell thoroughly but could not find any trace of Bai Asheng.

Until she heard someone calling her in a cell.

"It's that little general..."

Jiang Qingwu stopped and drew his sword, "Where is Bai Asheng? Where is that good-looking man?"

Several people huddled together in fear and spoke timidly.

"Leave...leave. After you were taken away, he was taken away by that general. They said he would be sent to Sang Country."

Jiang Qingwu tightly grasped the sword in his hand, his eyes flashing with ferocity. Just as he was in a trance, someone came to report from behind.

"General, the enemy general of Sang State, Mor, is retreating from the south of Sanshui City with a small force of less than 10,000 men."

"It seems there is someone the general is looking for!"

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu put away his knife and rushed out without saying a word.

"Deputy General Li, gather the troops and chase after Moore..."

After Jiang Qingwu gave the order, he hurriedly mounted his horse. Seeing this, Luo Ming hurriedly chased after him.

It was a small team of only about twenty people, but Jiang Qingwu still caught up with them.

On an uninhabited hill a hundred miles away from Sanshui City, they saw the army led by More, gold, silver, and a luxurious carriage.

"Bai Asheng...he's there..." Jiang Qingwu murmured. Just as he was about to chase him, he was grabbed by Luo Ming and forcefully pinned down.

"Girl... No, this won't work. There are too many of them."

"That's 10,000 soldiers. We only have more than 20 people. It will take at least three days to mobilize the troops to fight against them..."

"I can let More go, I just want Bai Asheng..." Jiang Qingwu said firmly, but was still held tightly by Luo Ming.

"Girl, calm down. If you want to save people, we'll find a way. Now is not the best time..."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't break free. He looked at the mighty army moving further and further away in the distance, feeling extremely angry.

"Go to Sang Country, I must bring the people back."

"Bai Ahsheng, just wait, I will definitely bring you back."

……

"and after?"

At midnight, in the wing room of the South Garden of the palace.

Wanyue sat at the table with her chin in her hand, looking at Jiang Qingwu quietly and asked.

Jiang Qingwu also came back to his senses from his thoughts, slightly suppressed his emotions, and hid the tears in his eyes.

A faint bitter smile appeared in the scarlet eyes, "Then... another three months passed."

"When the Great Yan army returned to the capital, I secretly took Luo Ming and a few guards to Sang State."

"But we were discovered only five days after arriving in Sang Country."

"After a few battles, they were injured... leaving behind two spies who were dragged back by Luo Ming and his men."

"Just when we were settling in Sanshui City and waiting for news, a spy reported that the princess of Sang Country was tired of him and had a new favorite, so she ordered him to be executed."

"He lost everything to save me and only lived for three months."

Jiang Qingwu murmured, his nose felt sore and tears welled up.

"I still remember that he said that Sanshui City is remote, and there are only lanterns and fireworks during the Lantern Festival every year..."

"I promised him that I would take him to the capital to watch the fireworks..."

"Unfortunately, I was a step too late and failed to save him in Sanshui City."

"Unfortunately, I didn't find him in Sang Country either."

"It's a pity...I couldn't bring him back."

……

Outside the door, Yan Xiuchen felt the night breeze blowing against his ears as he listened to the detailed conversation between Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue.

Listening to this, Gu Yanbai had already told him the story.

It was as if countless thorns were piercing his heart again.

After knowing the whole story, I heard Jiang Qingwu's description of that dark and hopeless situation.

He finally understood why Gu Yanbai said that he would slap himself again.

Jiang Qingwu did not bring back Bai Asheng, and he did not bring back Gu Yanbai either.

they are the same.

At this moment, he knew that reunion was like regaining what was lost, and reunion should make up for the regrets.

He seemed to suddenly understand Jiang Qingwu's feelings.

It was a feeling of relief that, fortunately, he was still alive.

Yan Xiuchen didn't go in after all. He stood outside the door for nearly half an hour before turning around and leaving.

After leaving the yard, Gu Yanbai's voice woke him up from his trance.

"Are you really planning to let Gu Qing stay here all night?" Gu Yanbai said in a low voice, and followed slowly.

"What are you going to do?"

Yan Xiuchen frowned slightly and sighed, "What should I do?"

"Let's not talk about the relationship first. I asked Jiuhan and the others. Bai Ruosheng went all the way to the capital."

"Many wealthy families, powerful officials and high-ranking officials all know that he is a concubine."

"Now, the queen is causing trouble. Qin Shuyue has already caused a huge uproar. What if another concubine shows up?"

"I'm afraid some people will say that Gu Qing is cheating on you, or that... you, Yan Xiuchen, are a homosexual and have a male lover."

Yan Xiuchen fell into deep thought as he listened to Gu Yanbai's words, but after thinking for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind, and his face was full of determination.

"I will protect him no matter what..."

"Godfather..." Jiu Ye shouted hurriedly, coming towards him from a distance and bowing his head slightly.

"Master Su from the Marquis' Mansion sent someone to ask if the young lady can stay at the palace today."

Gu Yanbai sneered upon hearing this, "There are jackals in front of you and tigers behind you. I really love you!"

Yan Xiuchen glared at Gu Yanbai and echoed Jiuye, "Tell the people here that Gu Qing will stay in the palace today. Please don't worry."

"Yes, godfather."

……

Jiang Qingwu did not leave the Nanyuan wing room all night.

It was not until the next morning that Jiang Qingwu realized something in his sleep.

She opened her eyes dazedly and found Bai Ruosheng's warm hand on her head.

Seeing her wake up, Bai Ruosheng immediately pulled his hand away.

"You're awake?!" Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened and he sat up straight with shining eyes.

"Are you feeling unwell? Here is the best imperial physician..."

After hearing Jiang Qingwu's words, Bai Ruosheng came to his senses, looked around, and hurriedly tried to get up.

"Is this the Marquis' Mansion? I can't stay in the Marquis' Mansion..."

"No, no..." Jiang Qingwu quickly supported the man and explained, "This is the palace, the residence of Regent King Yan Xiuchen."

Bai Ruosheng was stunned for a moment, and stared at Jiang Qingwu, "You brought me... back to the palace?"

"My injury is not serious, I can leave at any time..." Bai Ruosheng's face was full of anxiety.

But when Jiang Qingwu looked at Bai Ruosheng, those memories and regrets that had already dissipated suddenly rushed to his heart.

"Where are you going? The capital, Dayan, you don't need to go anywhere with me here."

Jiang Qingwu echoed in a low voice, his eyes reddening, and said to Wanyue beside him, "Go and bring Brother Asheng's medicine."

"Yes, girl."

Seeing Wanyue leave, Bai Ruosheng looked at Jiang Qingwu more unscrupulously, as if full of surprise and disbelief.

"Now that you no longer need me to protect you... why did you bring me back?"

"Now I will only cause trouble for you..."

Bai Ruosheng said this, looking at Jiang Qingwu and reaching out his hand with loving eyes.

Just as he was about to touch her head, he suddenly heard footsteps. When he looked up, Yan Xiuchen was walking in.
