Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 280: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, one trap after another

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Looking at the people rushing out from the darkness, Shen Zhuowen took advantage of the chaos to protect Shen Wanrong behind him.

Although Bai Ruosheng was surprised, he was not panicked. With his abilities, it would be easy for him to protect himself no matter what happened.

Bai Ruosheng looked quietly outside the door. When he saw Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen coming in last, he realized something.

"You were following me, right? I didn't even notice anything."

Gu Yanbai smiled when he heard the voice, with a smug look on his face, "That's because I'm the one following you. Your Qinggong is good, and mine is also good."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. You... Bai Ruosheng!" Gu Yanbai held a sword in his arms and pointed at Bai Ruosheng with a smile on his lips.

Bai Ruosheng was wearing a mask and didn't want to admit his identity at this time.

"Don't understand what you are saying?"

"Don't pretend, you are Bai Ruosheng...you were the one who stopped me on Shangyang Street."

"What are you saying? I will harm Gu Qing and Yan Xiuchen. My purpose is to make me leave the palace."

"You can only take me away if you leave the palace and Yan Xiuchen's protection."

"I pretended to be Bai Asheng, used Shen Wanrong and Shen Zhuoqi, killed the queen, and framed me."

"You teamed up with Shen Zhuowen to assassinate Yan Nan, and also killed the Chi Hongwei who were following you."

Gu Yanbai listed all the things Bai Ruosheng had done. He remained calm and said with a sneer, "Do you have any evidence to prove that I did all this?"

"What evidence do you have to prove that I am Bai Ruosheng?"

Gu Yanbai frowned and approached him in annoyance, "You are still pretending."

"Gu Qing just told you about Yan Lin during the day, and you went to find Shen Zhuowen at night."

"Isn't it still possible to prove it?"

Hearing the word "Gu Qing", Bai Ruosheng's face suddenly darkened, "You... plotted against me? Is Jiang Qingwu also among them?"

Yan Xiuchen shook his head upon hearing this and said calmly, "No, she doesn't know. She knows nothing."

Yan Xiuchen's words made Bai Ruosheng secretly relieved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I knew she wouldn't doubt me."

Gu Yanbai smiled upon hearing this, and nodded with a sigh, "This little girl is good in every way. She is stubborn and has complete faith in you, her lifesaver."

"In fact, it was Yan Xiuchen and I who came up with the idea of ​​interrogating Shen Zhuowen during the day. She just followed our instructions."

"We have no evidence, how dare we expose you rashly?"

"Even if we told her you were not Bai Asheng, she wouldn't believe it."

Bai Ruosheng's face was secretly filled with pride, which was deeply hidden behind the mask. He then looked around and said, "So, you used Jiang Qingwu to plot against me."

"He deliberately let me know where Shen Zhuowen was imprisoned, deliberately relaxed his guard, and deliberately let me take Shen Zhuowen away."

"Then follow me all the way and let me help you find Yan Lin?"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Bai Ruosheng and nodded gently, "That's right."

"We don't have Shen Wanrong, so we can't control Shen Zhuowen."

"If we can't control Shen Zhuowen, we naturally can't find out Yan Lin's whereabouts."

"We... can only use Gu Qing, use you."

"Now, Shen Zhuowen, Shen Wanrong, and Yan Lin have all been found. You have made an indelible contribution."

Yan Xiuchen said, waving his hand at the people behind him, "Capture everyone. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."

He actually fell into the trap and helped Yan Xiuchen and the others find all the people they wanted so easily.

Although these people were of no use to him, and even though he and Yan Xiuchen had the same goal, this was not the result he wanted.

It’s not about having your identity exposed and being made a fool of.

Bai Ruosheng looked at the guards rushing in, his anger filled with ruthlessness and murderous intent, and he secretly clenched his fists.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai drew his sword and rushed forward.

Yan Xiuchen went towards Shen Zhuowen.

Gu Yanbai was no match for Bai Ruosheng. After a few moves, he was forced to retreat repeatedly by Bai Ruosheng and fell heavily to the ground.

Turning around and looking at Yan Xiuchen who was struggling with Shen Zhuowen in the distance, Gu Yanbai covered his chest and shouted, "Stop fighting, help me..."

Seeing this, Bai Ruosheng gave Gu Yanbai a contemptuous smile and flew away.

Looking at the disappearing Bai Ruosheng, Yan Xiuchen walked towards Gu Yanbai and stretched out his hand to him, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. It's not that easy to get hurt. Where's Shen... Shen Wanrong?"

Gu Yanbai looked around and then suddenly realized something.

Yan Xiuchen realized something at this moment. He was so busy arguing with Shen Zhuowen that he had forgotten about Shen Wanrong.

"Escaped..." Yan Xiuchen murmured in a low voice.

Looking at the people who were captured, he looked towards Gu Yanbai and clenched his teeth in annoyance, "There is no Yan Lin."

Gu Yanbai was so angry that he couldn't speak. He sneered, "After all this trouble, Shen Wanrong ran away, but Yan Lin is still missing."

"Are these shrimp soldiers and crab generals here worth bringing so many people here?"

Yan Xiuchen was also very annoyed and helpless, but then he remembered something, "Let's go back, we still have to perform the second half of the play."

Gu Yanbai suddenly came back to his senses, sighed softly, and asked anxiously, "Do you think he will go back?"

"Of course, he is so conceited and confident that he has not been exposed in front of Gu Qing, so of course he dares to go back."

Yan Xiuchen was confident, but then felt a little uneasy.

If Bai Ruosheng disappeared just like that and had a complete showdown with them, there would be no way to find Bai Asheng.

Gu Yanbai also noticed Yan Xiuchen's worry and sighed softly, "If he is really like what you said, he should have returned to the palace by now."

"Let's go back as soon as possible."

……

When Bai Ruosheng returned to the city, he hurried to the herbal medicine shop he had visited before.

When the people in the herbal medicine shop saw Bai Ruosheng, they immediately came over to him, poured him tea, and closed the door.

But Bai Ruosheng was still angry and smashed the teacup to pieces as soon as he took it.

Upon seeing this, the three men immediately knelt on the ground.

"Master, calm down."

Bai Ruosheng secretly suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the three people kneeling in front of him, and sneered.

"Calm down, how can I calm down? I have never been played like this before."

"Where is Jiang Qingwu?"

The person kneeling on the ground reacted and quickly agreed, "Jiang Qingwu is in the Marquis' Mansion. Her eldest brother is going to the battlefield in the East Territory. The family is busy packing their bags."

"You've never come out?"

"No, in the evening, I bought a lot of food and daily necessities from the street, which seemed to be prepared for Jiang Qingbai."

Bai Ruosheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the report from his subordinates, "It seems that she really doesn't know about today's operation, nor does she know about Yan Xiuchen and the others' plan."

"Go and make arrangements. Tomorrow morning, find someone to inform Jiang Qingwu and tell them that...something happened in the palace."

"Don't say anything else. Just say that something happened in the palace."

As he spoke, Bai Ruosheng remembered something, "Oh, and one more thing, notify the palace immediately to take action. Yan Nan must die."

"Yes, sir, I will do it immediately."

Bai Ruosheng looked at his men who were leaving and secretly clenched his fists, "If we return to the palace again..."

"If you are exposed, don't go back..."

Bai Ruosheng was worried when he heard that. "As long as Jiang Qingwu believes me, it doesn't matter what Yan Xiuchen and the others say."

"She will believe me, she will definitely..."
