Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

A black shadow flashed by and headed straight towards Su Wenli.

The man in black mask, black clothes and black robe was Bai Ruosheng in disguise.

When Su Wenli saw the black shadow approaching, his eyes changed color and flashed away quickly.

He turned around to take the attack, but was forced back several steps by the opponent's palm.

Seeing this, several guards rushed forward immediately.

Su Wenli took the opportunity to cover his mouth and nose and pulled Gu Yanbai, "Gu Yanbai, wake up..."

The person fainted and had no consciousness at all.

Just when Su Wenli was about to help the man up, Bai Ruosheng kicked him.

Su Wenli dodged quickly and the table next to him was broken by his kick.

By the time he stopped, Bai Ruosheng had already grabbed Gu Yanbai and escaped through the back window.

"Gu Yanbai..." Su Wenli didn't think much about it and chased after him from the back window.

Bai Ruosheng was skilled in martial arts and light work, and even with Gu Yanbai, he easily jumped onto the roof.

But fortunately, with Gu Yanbai and Su Wenli's average lightness skills, they were able to catch up.

In the alley near the palace, Bai Ruosheng stopped, threw Gu Yanbai to the ground, and stood still slowly.

"Who are you? How dare you rob people in the palace?"

"Su Wenli?! Humph, with your martial arts skills, you are no match for me. I advise you to mind your own business."

In Bai Ruosheng's eyes, among Yan Xiuchen and his people, the only one who could beat him was Yan Xiuchen.

Bai Ruosheng looked at Su Wenli with contempt and wanted to force him to leave with just a few words.

But Su Wenli is not a timid person. Although he has no friendship with Gu Yanbai, he knows that they are in the same boat.

"Since I have come across this, I cannot just stand by and watch..."

Seeing this, Bai Ruosheng nodded slightly and pulled out a dagger from his waist, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Su Wenli was no match for Bai Ruosheng and was forced back after a few moves. When he came to his senses, the dagger was already in front of him.

I thought I would die here, but unexpectedly Bai Ruosheng suddenly stopped the blade.

The dagger stopped very close to him.

"For her sake, I won't kill you." Bai Ruosheng said, slowly retracting the knife.

Su Wenli stood up upon seeing this and was about to say something when a man in black suddenly appeared behind Bai Ruosheng and started to pull Gu Yanbai up.

"Sir, be careful."

"Take him away." Bai Ruosheng shouted, and seeing Su Wenli move forward subconsciously, he immediately raised his dagger to warn him.

Su Wenli saw that Gu Yanbai was about to be taken away, and then he suddenly took out the fire signal from Shunqing Marquis Mansion from his arms and released it when Gu Yanbai was not prepared.

This fire signal happened to be seen by Yan Xiuchen and Jiuye who were walking nearby.

The two men sent Jiang Qingwu back, turned back, and instantly realized something.

"It's Su Wenli..." Yan Xiuchen murmured, and he abandoned his horse and rode away.

When Yan Xiuchen arrived, Su Wenli was just being knocked away by Bai Ruosheng's palm.

Yan Xiuchen subconsciously supported Su Wenli and held him up.

"I'm fine, hurry up...Gu Yanbai has been taken away..."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai being carried away in the distance, his face instantly turned murderous, his body quickly flashed, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of Bai Ruosheng and struck him with a palm.

Bai Ruosheng barely took the palm strike, it was a bit strenuous, but he still exchanged a few moves with Yan Xiuchen.

"Let's go, don't worry about me." Bai Ruosheng shouted to the people behind him. He wanted to hold Yan Xiuchen back and let that person take Gu Yanbai away.

But the next moment, Yan Xiuchen became angry, with murderous intent in his eyes, like a demon from hell. He took out the golden bronze fan and waved it, almost taking Bai Ruosheng's life.

The fan bones are like knife blades, the handle contains hidden weapons, and the blades contain drugs.

Within three moves, the dagger in Bai Ruosheng's hand was taken away, and he was hit hard by a palm.

Bai Ruosheng fell to the ground and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. When he looked up again, Yan Xiuchen had already arrived in front of Gu Yanbai.

The fan bone passed by, taking the man's life instantly, and then Gu Yanbai was safely lifted into his arms.

Bai Ruosheng also quickly fled the scene.

"Stop..." Su Wenli shouted while covering his chest, but he was too weak to catch up and could only lean against the wall.

"Stop chasing him, his injuries are serious." Yan Xiuchen shouted from a distance and looked at Gu Yanbai on his shoulder.

"Aze, wake up..."

……

Shunqing Marquis Mansion.

When Jiu Ye arrived on horseback, Jiang Qingwu had already returned to Wutong Garden.

"Second son..."

"Jiu Ye? Ah Wu just returned to Wutong Garden, is it..."

Jiang Qingyu thought Jiu Ye wanted to see Jiang Qingwu, and just as he opened his mouth, Jiu Ye interrupted him, "No, no, no, I'm here to see the young master."

"See me? Tell me, what happened?"

"It was Master Su. Someone broke into the palace at night and Master Su saw him. He started fighting and got injured."

"His Highness asked me to come here in person and tell the eldest or second young master."

"Mr. Su's injuries are not serious. He will stay in the North Garden of the palace to rest today. There are the best imperial doctors here, so he will be fine tomorrow."

"But you don't have to tell the girl about this. She has been tired these past few days, so let her rest in peace."

Jiang Qingyu's expression changed every now and then as he listened, he finally felt relieved after hearing the end.

"Okay... okay, I got it. Go back and tell Su Wenli that Ah Wu is already in Wutong Garden and everything is fine."

"Yes, Second Young Master." Jiu Ye bowed and saluted, then hurried away.

Beiyuan, west wing.

Gu Yanbai sat on the couch with his head covered, looking grim and dazed.

"How could there be smoke? With my abilities, it's impossible that I didn't notice someone approaching..."

Gu Yanbai murmured, closed his eyes and lay down on the couch.

Yan Xiuchen paced in the room, looked around, and indeed did not find any signs of cracks on the window.

As he walked and looked, Yan Xiuchen suddenly stopped at the cabinet table not far from the bed.

On the table, in front of the bronze mirror, there was a plain gold hairpin in the shape of a leaf, which seemed to have been seen somewhere.

Yan Xiuchen gently picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully, then suddenly remembered something.

Like the golden hairpin on Jiang Qingwu’s head.

Moreover, when he touched Jiang Qingwu's head in the Imperial Medical Office in the palace during the day, he indeed found that something seemed to be missing from her bun.

And this golden hairpin is just right.

"You said... Is it possible that there was smoke in the room in advance?" Gu Yanbai was lying in the distance, staring at the roof and asked.

Yan Xiuchen listened to Gu Yanbai's voice, looked at the hairpin in his hand, lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, feeling mixed emotions.

Then she silently put the hairpin back to its place and walked over to greet him calmly.

"This room is often visited by people, cleaning, burning incense, etc. If there is already a lot of smoke, wouldn't anyone who comes in faint?"

Yan Xiuchen said this and sat down on the other side of Gu Yanbai, looking at him in a daze.

"You...what are you looking at me for?" Gu Yanbai asked, standing up and knocking his head, "I really don't know, I'm good at Qinggong, and my martial arts are not bad either."

"But this trick is still hard to defend against."

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, lowered his eyes and nodded, "You don't know, but I know."

"what?"

"This smoke should be placed in the oil lamp."

Yan Xiuchen said, smiling at Gu Yanbai, "Didn't you enter the house and immediately..."

"I took off my outer robe first, drank some tea, and then lit the lamp."

Gu Yanbai nodded blankly, "Yes, that's right, I really didn't turn on the light right away..."

"How did you know."

"There is tea in the broken teacup on the ground. The oil lamp will only be lit when you come to rest at night, and it will accurately knock you out."

Gu Yanbai suddenly stood up and picked up the oil lamp on the table in the distance, "This lamp... this lamp really has a problem."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai from afar, who was carefully checking the oil lamp. He suddenly fell into deep thought and changed the subject.

"Is there a girl you like?"

Gu Yanbai was startled suddenly, turned to look at Yan Xiuchen, sneered unruly, and turned back.

With a scrutinizing look, she approached him step by step, "What do you mean, do you think I'm getting in the way of your intimacy with Gu Qing and want to drive me away?"

As he spoke, he suddenly came over, slapped the table with his palm, and trapped Yan Xiuchen in his arm loop.

"I'm telling you, I'm dependent on you. Even days belong to her, and odd days... belong to me!"

"That girl... said it herself!"
