Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Shen Zhuowen was being strangled by the neck, but he didn't rush to fight back to get away. Instead, he was sneered.

"You...you are not attracted to that bitch."

"Haha, once you get involved, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of this unscathed."

Bai Ruosheng refuted without words, gritted his teeth, pinched Shen Zhuowen's hand, and gradually exerted force.

Shen Zhuowen also realized that Bai Ruosheng was genuine, and only then did he think of fighting back.

"The antidote... Jiang Qingbai's antidote is with me."

Hearing Shen Zhuowen's words, Bai Ruosheng's hands couldn't help but loosen a little strength and he gradually calmed down.

"Lost Soul Powder, without an antidote, he will go crazy and become a murder tool..."

Bai Ruosheng did not let go of Shen Zhuowen, but slowly reached out to him.

Seeing this, Shen Zhuowen silently took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it over.

Bai Ruosheng took the medicine bottle, opened it with one hand and smelled it.

"I won't lie to you. My sister and I's lives are in your hands."

"Also, there is something you have to thank me for..."

Shen Zhuowen said with a smile, "I have already ordered people to spread the news about the Funan Palace."

"Now everyone knows that Jiang Qingbai assassinated the King of Funan and massacred nearly a hundred people in the palace..."

Bai Ruosheng frowned slightly and didn't react for a moment.

"Your target... is Gu Yanbai, right? In order to clear Jiang Qingbai's suspicion and to protect the Jiang family, Yan Xiuchen must be too busy to spare any time."

"If there's a fire in the backyard and someone is missing, I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of them."

Bai Ruosheng suddenly realized and slowly let go of Shen Zhuowen. The murderous intent in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, he smiled and said, "Now that I think of it, I have to thank you."

"But... I warn you, Jiang Qingwu is still useful to me. She cannot die now, and the Jiang family cannot touch her either."

"When this is over, I will help you get rid of the Jiang family and Jiang Qingwu."

"Don't ruin my business."

Shen Zhuowen lowered his eyes slightly and nodded silently, "Okay, if you had said so earlier, I would have listened to you."

"My sister..."

"Don't worry, I'll go to the teahouse to pick up the letter tomorrow."

Bai Ruosheng put away the medicine bottle, looked at Shen Zhuowen, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"I know that your son, the head of the Shen family, is a rebellious and capable man."

"But now that the Shen family has been defeated, you must know the current situation and get rid of the superiority of being a noble son of an aristocratic family as soon as possible."

"If you are used by others, you must obey their orders. If you act on your own, you will only end up in a dead end."

Shen Zhuowen listened to Bai Ruosheng's words and watched him disappear before his eyes. All the annoyance and murderous intent in his heart were suppressed.

……

As night fell, peace returned to the Funan palace.

All the imperial doctors in the palace came and surrounded Yan Nan's room.

It wasn't until dark that someone dared to speak.

"Your Highness... King Funan's life has been saved, thanks to the Heart Protection Pill sent by the palace."

The imperial physician hurried to the outer hall and knelt in front of Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the imperial physician, "You and Imperial Physician Zhang stay here and watch over Yan Nan for the next few days. No matter what, there must be no mistakes."

Having said that, Yan Xiuchen stood up and walked outside.

In the yard, Gu Yanbai was sitting at the stone table holding the obituary, while Jiang Qingwu was pacing beside him, seeming to be thinking about something.

"So, he was originally coming for you and your elder brother. That poison..."

"He should be planning to poison Gu Qing..." Yan Xiuchen blurted out and walked over from a distance.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, "Why?"

"You are better than your elder brother in martial arts, and if you go crazy, not only your elder brother and his friends, but even Gu Yanbai and I will surely attack you."

"You were poisoned, and it was your eldest brother who died."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen who was sitting down and sighed softly.

"Shen Zhuowen really racked his brains."

"No matter what, the whole city knows about this matter. Even the death of the queen has been blamed on me and the Jiang family."

Gu Yanbai smiled upon hearing this and threw the obituary on the table. "I'm afraid this was not what Shen Zhuowen meant."

Yan Xiuchen nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully, "That's right, Shen Zhuowen hates the Jiang family, so he will only take action against the Jiang family. There is no need to involve Yan Nan."

"So you suspect it was Bai Ruosheng? If it was him, why did he come to save me? He first sent me the obituary to plot against me, and then turned around to save me?"

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu, sneered, stood up and walked towards him, "Didn't you say that Bai Ruosheng was asking about Yan Nan?"

"Also, I told you that Bai Ruosheng left the palace yesterday and went out for a while, remember?"

Jiang Qingwu nodded absentmindedly, "Remember, I came back in less than an hour."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu suddenly realized something, "I understand. What you mean is that Bai Ruosheng wanted to attack Yan Nan, so he used Shen Wanrong to threaten Shen Zhuowen to do things for him and assassinate Yan Nan."

"And Shen Zhuowen wanted to assassinate Yan Nan and send us an obituary to lure us over here, killing two birds with one stone?"

Yan Xiuchen listened, nodded to Jiang Qingwu, and then added another sentence.

"Besides, Bai Ruosheng probably doesn't know that Shen Zhuowen is going to such lengths to deal with you."

"That's why he took the risk to save you."

Hearing this, Gu Yanbai sighed sarcastically, "It seems that your honey trap was very successful."

Jiang Qingwu rolled his eyes, ignored Gu Yanbai, and looked at Yan Xiuchen, "What should I do now? How can I save my brother?"

"Will the poison my brother has been poisoned with cost him his life..."

Hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen sat closer to Jiang Qingwu, gently took her hand, and comforted her carefully.

"No, the palace's imperial physician has already examined him. He will be fine."

"As for the speculation and criticism from the previous dynasty and the harem, you don't have to worry about it as I am here."

Gu Yanbai watched Yan Xiuchen holding Jiang Qingwu and whispering comfort to her, and wanted to leave quietly, but as soon as he turned around, Yan Xiuchen stopped him.

"Aze, take Gu Qing back to the palace. The imperial physician will report back to the palace as soon as possible."

Jiang Qingwu stared at Yan Xiuchen in a daze, and asked in confusion, "What about you? You want to stay here?"

"..." Yan Xiuchen was a little speechless, and paused before saying, "I'll wait for him to wake up. I have something to ask him."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen gestured to Gu Yanbai, who said "oh" and turned around to pull Jiang Qingwu.

"Let's go back and take another look at your injuries."

Seeing Gu Yanbai and Jiang Qingwu leave, Yan Xiuchen slowly stood up, "Nine Cold Nights..."

"Yes, godfather."

"Jiuye, take the people to guard here and closely guard Yannan. No mistakes are allowed."

"Jiuhan, come with me, quietly, don't alarm anyone."

"Yes, godfather."

It was already late when Yan Xiuchen and Jiuhan rode out of the city.

By then, Jiang Qingwu had already returned to the palace, but Gu Yanbai, who had accompanied her back, turned back and quietly followed Yan Xiuchen and Jiuhan.

I thought that with his lightness skills, it would be easy for him to follow Yan Xiuchen.

But not long after leaving the city, he was discovered.

On the official road, dense forests stood tall on both sides, completely blocking out the moonlight.

With just a moment of distraction, Yan Xiuchen and Jiuhan were left with only Jiuhan left.

It directly blocked his way.

"Young Master, don't follow me." Jiuhan clasped his hands together and blocked Gu Yanbai's way.

Gu Yan gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward, but Jiu Han drew his sword and rushed towards him.

"My godfather said that as long as your life is not harmed, he will keep you no matter what."

"Besides... if you fight me now, my godfather will be gone if I chase him."

Gu Yanbai snorted coldly and sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay, that's a good point, you two..."

"You two are truly sons."

Gu Yanbai pointed at Jiuhan angrily and was about to turn around and leave when Jiuhan suddenly rushed forward and knocked Gu Yanbai unconscious with a palm.
