Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu was startled suddenly and subconsciously sat up straight, turning around to see Yan Xiuchen's eyes full of tenderness.

"You...when did you come back? What did you say just now?"

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly, picked up the medicine bowl, and brought the medicine to Jiang Qingwu's mouth.

"Drink the medicine first. After you drink it, I'll tell you."

Jiang Qingwu thought of what happened to Tang Zhi before, his face suddenly darkened, and he raised his hand to push away the medicine bowl.

"I just got caught in the rain. It won't kill me. I won't drink it."

Seeing that Jiang Qingwu was still angry, Yan Xiuchen had no choice but to put down the medicine bowl.

"Are you still angry? I was wrong. I was too anxious at that time..."

Yan Xiuchen explained, lowering his voice and moving closer to Jiang Qingwu again.

"Don't worry, leave Bai Asheng to me, okay? I promise you, I will definitely rescue him."

"I'll leave it to you safe and sound."

Yan Xiuchen's voice was very soft, but it penetrated her heart deeply.

The anger that was generated in Xiancheng Village was offset so easily.

"You said you can save Bai Asheng, how do you do it?"

Yan Xiuchen sighed, his face froze, and he handed over the medicine bowl in a commanding tone.

"Don't worry about it. I have my own way. Now you take the medicine first."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Yan Xiuchen's persistence and lowered his head to look at the medicine bowl.

"I drink……"

Watching Jiang Qingwu gulping down a few mouthfuls, Yan Xiuchen also sat steadily beside him.

"Now you can tell me what you said to him last night and why you came back in the rain."

Jiang Qingwu's face darkened when he thought of Bai Ruosheng's threat.

I wanted to speak up, but Yan Xiuchen said that he had a way to save Bai Asheng. Since he had a way, there was no need to mention it again.

Jiang Qingwu hesitated, looked up at Yan Xiuchen, and leaned gently against the window. "Nothing, I just suddenly felt..."

"I feel useless and my life is a mess."

"I just thought that if I hadn't done something, many people wouldn't have been implicated by me..."

"Xing'er's death, Zhuang Youwen's family was destroyed, Bai Asheng's life and death are unknown, and even the Queen, Yan Nan, Yan Bei and others, maybe it's because of me..."

Jiang Qingwu murmured, bent down slightly, and lay on the table, lost in thought.

"I always thought I could control everything and change everyone's bad fate, but in the end, I didn't get the revenge I deserved, and I didn't repay the kindness I deserved."

"I'm so stupid and dumb. From childhood to adulthood, it seems like I've always been rescued and protected by others."

"From my parents and brothers, to you, to Gu Yanbai, and then to Bai Asheng."

“I’m actually the most useless one.”

Yan Xiuchen listened to Jiang Qingwu's words and unconsciously put himself into her state of mind, as if he could see through every bit of helplessness and self-blame in her heart.

"Don't say that, you are very good." Yan Xiuchen gently stroked the messy hair beside her ears, as if he remembered something.

"Xing'er, Zhuang asked again, Bai Asheng, it's indeed all because of you... But have you ever thought about..."

"Your elder brother, your second cousin, your parents, Yuya... and me..."

“Humans are not gods, and cannot be perfect. There are imperfections, regrets, and mistakes. Only then is life real, and only then are we real.”

Jiang Qingwu turned his head and looked at Yan Xiuchen who was standing beside him, and was completely confused.

But there was one sentence that seemed to suddenly illuminate a dark spot in her heart.

Those were her relatives, Yuya, and Yan Xiuchen. She protected everyone she wanted to protect.

She changed the tragedy of her previous life and the misfortune of all of them.

Just like Yan Xiuchen said, humans are not gods and cannot do things perfectly.

"What are you looking at? Do you suddenly feel that an old man like me is more handsome than Bai Asheng..."

Yan Xiuchen saw Jiang Qingwu distracted and said jokingly.

Jiang Qingwu's thoughts were also pulled back. He sighed helplessly, then sat up straighter with his head in his hands.

"Come to think of it, Brother Asheng is only 21 years old, indeed... younger than you."

"You keep saying that. I'm really jealous..." Yan Xiuchen said, and suddenly he started to think, "I need to think about it carefully..."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Think about where to let Bai Asheng live after he is rescued, what kind of official position to give him, and which girl to marry him to..."

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but sneer inwardly upon hearing this, and nodded slightly, "I've already thought about it."

"When he comes back, I will ask him to worship my father as his foster father and buy the house near Shunqing Marquis's Mansion to set up his own residence."

"Let him join the Ministry of Rites and Music as a teacher. As for girls... let's see which girl he likes..."

"I'll host a blind date banquet for him..." Jiang Qingwu smiled to himself, becoming happier and happier as he spoke.

Yan Xiuchen on the side also nodded in agreement, with a smile on his face, but he was worried in his heart.

Because he was not completely sure that he could rescue Bai Asheng.

Just when Yan Xiuchen was distracted, Jiu Ye's voice came from outside the door, "Godfather..."

Yan Xiuchen calmed himself down and shouted to the door, "Come in."

Jiu Ye bowed slightly to Jiang Qingwu and said to Yan Xiuchen, "Godfather, something happened in the palace with the King of Funan."

"How are people?"

"Our people took care of the King of Funan in time. His life is safe. The assassins have been caught. Three of them died, and only one survived. He was taken to the capital's criminal department."

Yan Xiuchen nodded slightly and stood up from the couch, "I'll go take a look. You stay in the mansion and take your medicine to recover. Don't think about anything else."

"If there's any news from Aze, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen raised his hand and stroked Jiang Qingwu's head, then turned around and strode away.

Yan Xiuchen came out of Shunqing Marquis Mansion and gave Jiuye the antidote for Broken Heart Powder. "Go to West City and give the antidote to Nan Xiuye."

"Tell him that Yan Nan is not dead, and tell him not to do stupid things again."

As soon as Yan Xiuchen finished speaking, a carriage slowly drove over from a distance.

The carriage stopped right outside the Marquis's mansion. A'Luo got off first, followed by Bai Ruosheng.

Seeing Bai Ruosheng getting out of the carriage, Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but tighten the reins in his hands.

Bai Ruosheng also saw Yan Xiuchen, but he was not in a hurry. He slowly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness."

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen gestured to Jiu Ye who was standing beside him.

Jiu Ye nodded slightly and handed the antidote over, "This is the antidote for Broken Heart Powder."

"I knew that Your Highness would not want me to die. I thought it was time to give me the antidote."

"Oh, I heard that Gu Yanbai is still looking for someone in Xiancheng. Let him come back. Although he is accompanied by Jiuhan and many experts, no one can do anything to him."

"But when you're out, there are always unexpected things. It's better to come back early..."

Bai Ruosheng had a smug look on his face. After he finished speaking, he bowed to Yan Xiuchen and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen's face darkened and he blurted out, "Stop."

"Is there anything else, Your Highness?"

"The assassination attempt on Yan Nan failed. Yan Nan is still alive."

Yan Xiuchen said this and rode his horse forward.

"In this life, one cannot be just a bird in a cage, let alone a killing tool without emotions or self."

"If I were you... I would stop doing stupid things, focus on myself, struggle a bit, and maybe there would be another world."

Bai Ruosheng's face gradually darkened, and he looked at Yan Xiuchen sharply, "Okay, I'll struggle!"

"Tell me, will Jiang Qingwu break off the engagement with you and be with me in order to save Bai Asheng..."
