Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Hearing Wanyue's words, Gu Yanbai's eyes lit up instantly and he became energetic.

With a smile on his lips, he pointed at Nan Xiuye.

"Shh..." Gu Yanbai gestured to the two of them and tiptoed forward two steps.

Seeing this, Nan Xiuye ​​looked at Yan Xiuchen uneasily. Just as he was about to explain something, Yan Xiuchen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I trust you, but I trust her even more."

Yan Xiuchen murmured in a low voice and walked forward.

Nan Xiuye ​​looked at Yan Xiuchen in surprise, feeling mixed emotions.

When Jiang Qingwu heard Wanyue's words, he took the fish food from Wanyue's hand with disapproval.

"You worry too much. Yan Xiuchen won't think too much about it."

Wanyue sighed helplessly and moved closer with earnest words.

"Girl, I've told you so many times that you can't call His Majesty by his name."

"Your Majesty is no longer a prince, nor is he the unruly Yan Xiuchen who played around with the girls."

"Although His Majesty still indulges you, but in this harem..."

As she spoke, Wan Yue showed a bit of bitterness on her face and lowered her voice, "There can be no one else in this palace for a year, or even no one for two years..."

"But Your Majesty is in his prime, it is impossible for him to be alone forever."

"If the young lady is not so favored in the future, will His Majesty still indulge you?"

"Whether it's Nan Xiuye ​​or Master Gu, they are close to the young lady today, and your majesty won't think too much about it. What about in the future?"

"Will you bring out the shortcomings of being a queen?"

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly, and his hand holding the fish food paused.

Although his face was calm, his heart was in turmoil.

After a long silence, Jiang Qingwu slowly spoke, "No flower stays red forever, no man stays good forever, I know he will fade away sooner or later."

"The passionate feelings will eventually return to the ordinary calm."

Jiang Qingwu looked natural, but his back as he stood by the railing still looked a little stiff and lonely.

"It's only a matter of time before there are other people in this palace. I know that and I can accept it."

"But if one day, this affection is not enough to support me, and I have been wronged, I will not compromise."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu gradually became more determined. He threw all the fish food in his hand into the lake with a determined look in his eyes.

"I, Jiang Qingwu, have been stupid before, but I won't always be stupid. If he betrays me, I won't curl up in my quilt and cry."

"Whether it's Gu Yanbai or Nan Xiuye, if he uses what happened today to humiliate me in the future..."

"The territory of Dayan is vast, the sky is big and the earth is big, there is always a place for me."

Yan Xiuchen and Nan Xiuye ​​were standing farther away, but it was a quiet night and they could still listen carefully.

Nan Xiuye ​​listened to Jiang Qingwu's words, turned his head and quietly looked at Yan Xiuchen.

Yan Xiuchen noticed Nan Xiuye's gaze without turning around, and couldn't help but think of what Nan Xiuye ​​and Jiang Qingwu said on the night of the wedding at the Marquis' Mansion.

Before Nan Xiuye ​​could speak, Yan Xiuchen whispered to him with certainty, "That day will never come."

"Girl... don't take it too lightly. Holding the imperial power will always change, you..."

Wan Yue kept trying to persuade him, but she didn't know that Yan Xiuchen was already striding towards her from behind.

"Wan Yue... slap your face." Yan Xiuchen shouted. His voice was not loud, but both Jiang Qingwu and Wan Yue were startled.

Especially Wanyue, who turned around and saw Yan Xiuchen, and fell to her knees on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty...I know I was wrong."

Yan Xiuchen? Gu Yanbai, Nan Xiuye? !

How did you get here? Did you hear everything just now?

Jiang Qingwu turned around and saw Yan Xiuchen, only then did he realize that all three of them had arrived, with Jiu Ye, Tan Xi and Zhong Quan following far behind them.

Thinking of what he had just said, Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"You...how did you come from here..."

"It's against the rules for you to take a shortcut from the back hall of Shangyang Palace to the back hall of my Fengxiang Palace," Jiang Qingwu murmured guiltily.

Looking at Nan Xiuye, Jiuye, Tan Xi and others behind him, bowing respectfully to him, Jiang Qingwu suddenly came to his senses.

Just as she was about to salute Yan Xiuchen, she was stopped by Yan Xiuchen.

"The rules of this palace are up to you and me to interpret."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen moved closer to Jiang Qingwu with a commanding tone.

"If you ever bow to me again, I will... punish you severely."

Jiang Qingwu raised her eyes in a daze, only to find Yan Xiuchen looking at her with a lustful smile.

Jiang Qingwu understood something instantly, took a deep breath, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I agree."

Yan Xiuchen sneered secretly, took Jiang Qingwu's hand, turned around and walked towards Wanyue.

Then he shouted behind him, "Aze, your knife."

"How did you know I brought a knife?" Gu Yanbai sighed helplessly and handed the dagger hidden on his waist to Zhong Quan who was standing beside him.

After Zhong Quan handed the dagger to Yan Xiuchen, Yan Xiuchen threw the dagger directly at Wanyue.

Jiang Qingwu was startled upon seeing this, and suddenly rushed forward, blocking Wanyue with his arms outstretched.

"You're going too far. Are you going to sentence her to death?"

"If you dare to do anything to her, I will never forgive you." Jiang Qingwu said as he rolled up his sleeves, frowned, and stared at Yan Xiuchen.

When Yan Xiuchen saw Jiang Qingwu wearing the queen's clothes and looking angry, he couldn't help but smile.

Then he pulled it over and said, "I still like your fierce look."

Yan Xiuchen calmly grasped Jiang Qingwu's hand in his, put it behind his back, and looked towards Wanyue.

"Wanyue, this dagger is given to you as a reward."

"If one day I betray your daughter, you can take this dagger and stab me on behalf of your daughter, and I will forgive you."

Jiang Qingwu and the others were stunned. Wan Yue was also dumbfounded. She looked up at Yan Xiuchen and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"The slaves dare not."

Gu Yanbai chuckled, shook his head and moved forward.

"Why should you be afraid? He is the emperor. You must obey his orders."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai picked up the dagger on the ground and put it into Wanyue's hand, then pulled her up.

"We are witnesses. Don't deny it when the time comes."

"Come, come, serve the food. I'm hungry." Gu Yanbai shouted to the palace maids and Zhong Quan in the distance, and then sat down at the table.

"You only know how to eat. Get out of my way first..."

Jiang Qingwu took a quick step forward, pulled Gu Yanbai up, and picked up the token from under him.

Gu Yanbai was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, "I was wondering why it felt so uncomfortable, you have too many tokens in your palace, right?"

Nan Xiuye ​​looked at Gu Yanbai's casual words and actions, chatting and joking with Jiang Qingwu, and stood there in a daze in surprise.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Xiuchen saw Nan Xiuye ​​was distracted and walked towards him.

Nan Xiuye ​​suddenly came back to his senses and bowed, "Nothing, Your Majesty..."

Hearing the voice, Yan Xiuchen silently paced towards the lake. Seeing this, Nan Xiuye ​​followed him.

"Your Majesty, I know you don't want to use these palace rules to restrict us and the Queen."

"But rules are rules. If you don't care, others will."

"If others knew that Gu Yanbai and I were drinking and having fun in the Queen's bedroom so openly."

"I don't know how many people will point fingers at me, and the court officials will also file an impeachment petition."

Nan Xiuye ​​has lived a cautious life since he was a child, and was later trained by King Purge like a weapon.

His cautious aura is far inferior to Gu Yanbai's.

Although Gu Yanbai suffered a lot, he was loved by Yan Xiuchen when he was a child.

He was in a high position and had great power in Sang State, and now he was under his protection, so he was more casual and unrestrained.

Looking at Nan Xiuye, Yan Xiuchen sighed secretly, as if he remembered something.

"In my previous life...I owed you something."
