Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

The day became as bright as night, and thunder roared.

The towering imperial mausoleum was submerged in layers of dark clouds and rumbling rain.

Jiang Qingwu held the golden hairpin in her hand that she had not yet returned to Bai Asheng, and walked down the stairs step by step.

The whole person was submerged in the heavy rain, as if the soul had been sucked out of him, and the only remaining strength was put into every step.

I came here with great joy, but in the end it was all in vain.

Yan Xiuchen, who had been following behind silently, left his coat on Bai Asheng and wore only a single layer of clothes, accompanying her in the heavy rain.

Looking at the staggering and staggering Jiang Qingwu, he took a step forward and picked her up before she fell completely.

Seeing this, Jiuhan, who was following behind, immediately rushed forward with an umbrella.

"Yan Xiuchen... I don't understand why someone at the pinnacle of power can't even protect an ordinary person."

Jiang Qingwu's voice was very soft, and he gradually lost consciousness while leaning in Yan Xiuchen's arms.

Yan Xiuchen looked down at the person in his arms and was silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"Because... our rights are not great enough, and we haven't climbed... high enough."

Jiang Qingwu was ill and slept for a day and a night.

He was in a daze and had a high fever, and he hadn't woken up yet.

A confused consciousness randomly invaded her brain.

She seemed to see Bai Acheng getting married.

It was a happy event, very lively, with lights and decorations, and red and green.

The sound of firecrackers is piercing.

She squeezed into the crowd and watched Bai Asheng, dressed in a wedding gown, leading his bride into the mansion.

The woman was wearing wedding clothes, holding the wedding silk in one hand and fanning herself with the other.

She wanted to get closer to see the bride's appearance, but she couldn't see it clearly.

All I saw was Bai Asheng’s face filled with a happy smile.

"Little girl, what are you doing here, let's go..."

Jiang Qingwu heard someone shouting behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Bai Asheng, dressed in white, holding her hand and pulling her out of the crowd.

"Brother Asheng?!" Jiang Qingwu was stunned and wanted to ask him something, but he pulled her and jogged towards a direction she couldn't see clearly.

"Brother Asheng!" Jiang Qingwu shouted and opened his eyes in a daze.

Familiar bed curtains, familiar house, the rich sunset pouring in from the window and shining into the house.

Jiang Qingwu stood up in a trance, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled back.

The imperial mausoleum, the cliff cave, Gu Yanbai, Nan Xiuye ​​and Bai Asheng...

There was also a sudden heavy rain.

The moment he woke up completely, Jiang Qingwu felt a buzzing in his head, as if the sky had fallen down. Something was pressing down on his heart, making it impossible to breathe.

"Miss..." Tan Xi brought in medicine from outside. Seeing Jiang Qingwu standing up, he hurriedly put down the bowl of medicine in his hand.

"Come here, go to the palace gate and tell His Highness that the girl has woken up."

Tan Xi gave instructions to the outside, then turned and rushed towards Jiang Qingwu.

"Girl, are you finally awake?"

Jiang Qingwu raised his eyes and looked at Tan Xi, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

"Tan... Tan Xi? Why... why are you here?"

"Miss Wanyue was injured. His Highness was worried that there was no safe person around her, so he asked this servant to come here."

Tan Xi hurriedly took the coat and put it on Jiang Qingwu, crouching beside the bed with red eyes, "I'm glad the girl is awake."

"Your Highness has been guarding the girl for a day and a night. He just entered the palace at sunset because of an emergency."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Tan Xi in some surprise, and then suddenly realized something.

"How long have I slept? Where is Bai Asheng? Where are Gu Yanbai and Bai... and Nan Xiuye?"

Hearing this, Tan Xi was momentarily speechless, and said hesitantly, "Girl, I have slept for a day and a night."

"Mr. Bai's mourning hall is set up in the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion will hold the funeral ceremony in the name of his adopted son's death."

"Your Highness has already written a letter to your father, Marquis Shunqing."

Jiang Qingwu stared at Tan Xi in a daze, and suddenly remembered what he had said to Yan Xiuchen before.

After Bai Asheng is rescued, he will be allowed to recognize his father as his adoptive father and settle in the capital.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but he quickly regained his composure and got out of bed.

"Where are Gu Yanbai and Nan Xiuye? Are they okay..."

"Master Gu... has been found. He was slightly injured, but it's not serious. He is already in the Marquis' Mansion."

"It's just that Nan Xiuye..."

Jiang Qingwu listened and vaguely sensed something. He remembered that Nan Xiuye ​​stabbed him with a knife at the cliff cave before, so he hurriedly grabbed Tan Xi.

"He...he's dead?"

Tan Xi shook her head slightly, "We haven't found him yet, and we don't know if he's dead or alive."

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened, he calmed himself down, and got up to change his clothes.

"Girl...Girl, you just woke up, where are you going?"

Jiang Qingwu was wearing plain casual clothes and only a silver hairpin on her head.

After coming out of the house, Jiang Qingwu discovered that there were white lanterns and funeral banners hanging everywhere in Wutong Courtyard and the mansion.

The servants and palace guards also wore mourning belts around their waists.

It wasn't a grand affair, but all the rituals were followed as if it were a funeral for the host.

The mourning hall was set up in the main hall of the main entrance.

"Greetings, young lady..." There were many people from the royal palace in the mansion to help, and they were all busy with their own things.

Jiang Qingwu stood in front of the hall door, his eyes fixed quietly on the mourning hall.

There are golden and jade coffins, servants guarding the tomb, constant sacrifices and incense burning.

Looking at the parked jade coffin, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but move forward, but every step was difficult.

She tried her best to suppress her emotions and didn't want to cry.

But the moment I saw Bai Asheng, I couldn't help but shed tears.

She had seen too many people who had lost their lives. They were full of energy one second and lifeless the next, just like Bai Asheng at this moment.

The man in front of her seemed to be still talking to her, but now he had become a cold corpse.

She knew that the dead could not be resurrected, and this was the best that Yan Xiuchen could do, and she could do.

But she could never let it go. She thought, how great it would be if Bai A was still alive and she could watch him enjoy wealth and prosperity.

Even though she was reborn, she was still unable to make up for her regrets and repay his kindness in saving her at the cost of his own life.

Thinking about this, Jiang Qingwu turned around and looked at Tan Xi, "Tan Xi, where are the things?"

"Here, girl." Tan Xi agreed and handed over the box in her hand.

Jiang Qingwu took the box, then took out the golden hairpin from the box and gently put it into Bai Asheng's hand.

"Brother Asheng, can you hear me?"

"If you can hear me, if..."

"If... you could go back three years and start all over again..."

"Promise me, wait for me in Sanshui City, and I'll take you back to Beijing, okay..."

Tan Xi looked at Jiang Qingwu's sadness, walked over with some heartache, and spoke carefully.

"Girl, don't be like this. Mr. Bai definitely doesn't want you to be so sad."

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, sorted out his thoughts, turned around and gestured to Tan Xi, "I'll light a stick of incense."

"Yes...girl."

"Is it Awu? Awu is awake... Isn't he still sick? Why is he here to burn incense?"

"Who on earth is this Bai Ahsheng? How could he attend a funeral as the adopted son of our Marquis' Mansion?"

"What adopted son? I heard that this is the spy... He is also a zither player... and a concubine."
