Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Qingwu took two steps back and looked towards the roof.

Gu Yanbai was dressed in a white brocade robe and a thin green shirt, half lying on the roof in a casual and comfortable manner.

He was holding a white jade bottle filled with wine in his hand, and he looked a little drunk.

"You...are you talking about me?" Yan Xue frowned and pouted angrily.

Gu Yanbai didn't even look at her. He just drank his wine and held his head up. "Now, Jiang Qingwu is the master of Shangyang Palace. Is it your turn to introduce her?"

"If this isn't ridiculous, then what is?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai and felt something was wrong, so he turned around and walked closer to Yan Xue.

"You go in first, I will bring him to you."

Yan Xue was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to say something, Wan Yue came over to invite her.

"Fourth Princess, I will accompany you there first."

Seeing Yan Xue walking away, Jiang Qingwu looked up at Gu Yanbai and said, "Do you want to come down and tell me, or should I go up and tell you?"

Gu Yanbai smiled upon hearing this, sat up straight, and looked down at Jiang Qingwu, "If you are not afraid of other people gossiping, just come up by yourself. Anyway, I..."

Before Gu Yanbai could finish his words, Jiang Qingwu left the palace servants behind him, stepped on the rockery beside him, flew away, and landed steadily beside Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, and gestured to him dully, "Sit down..."

"Didn't I ask Xiao Luzi to inform you? Why are you still in Shangyang Palace?" Jiang Qingwu asked as he sat next to Gu Yanbai.

Gu Yanbai chuckled, turned his head away, and half lay down.

"Where else can I go? Achen won't let me leave the palace. If it weren't for you and Achen, I wouldn't want to come to this palace."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai's eyes flashed with gloom and bitterness, "Gu Qing, I kind of want to go back to Sang Country..."

"Are you still in contact with the Sang Kingdom's spies? Is the Sang Kingdom's ruler urging you to go back again?"

Gu Yanbai listened to Jiang Qingwu's words, and his thoughts were pulled back. He chuckled and said, "If he told me to go back, I would go back."

"I have helped him fight off the invasion of the Fuye tribe. Can he still force me to go back?"

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai moved closer to Jiang Qingwu and said, "This is all thanks to your father, who formed an alliance with the Sang Kingdom on the battlefield in the East Territory."

"Yan Xiuchen did it for you. When we made the truce with the East Territory, he was the one who had a clear understanding of the situation and knew that the Fuye tribe was invading..."

"In fact, he doesn't know whether you have received the war intelligence, but he knows that the Fuye tribe is the enemy and the Sang Kingdom is your backer."

"Dayan and Sang have been fighting and reuniting for many years. Countless soldiers have died and been injured, and the people on the border are living in misery."

"If you can inherit the responsibilities of the ruler of Sang, there may never be a war between Dayan and Sang."

Gu Yanbai pondered over Jiang Qingwu's words silently, then suddenly reacted and turned to look at Jiang Qingwu.

"Are you trying to drive me away?"

Jiang Qingwu frowned and chuckled, "Didn't you just say that? You said you wanted to go back to Sang Country."

"When did I say I won't leave? I won't leave..."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai suddenly sat up straight. Although he felt weak in his heart, his voice was not weak and it was several times louder.

"I, I haven't figured out the truth yet, and I haven't taken revenge on that old man yet, I..."

Seeing Gu Yanbai's imposing manner, Jiang Qingwu chuckled and said, "Actually, this is not the point..."

"The point is, you don't want to leave Yan Xiuchen."

Gu Yanbai's expression suddenly froze. He turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, then immediately turned away.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Qingwu smiled upon hearing this, sighed softly, and slowly stood up and said, "You, you keep saying that you are under surveillance, under house arrest, and restricted in your movements. You are so wronged and pitiful."

"In fact, you enjoy being under his control."

"You are like a child who is loved, sheltered and cherished, and who has been inexplicably neglected for a few years and suddenly returns to the arms of his parents."

"If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to leave either."

Gu Yanbai stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, and then sneered guiltily, "You said that as if Yan Xiuchen is my father."

Jiang Qingwu sneered secretly, nodded and said, "The elder brother is like a father, not much different."

"Let's go. I'm hungry..." Jiang Qingwu gestured to Gu Yanbai, then flew down.

But as soon as he landed, he saw Yan Xiuchen standing in the corridor and couldn't help but pause, "You... why are you here, when did you come?"

Yan Xiuchen raised the corner of his lips slightly and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, "When you said that Aze would inherit the throne of the Sang Kingdom."

"You've been listening here for so long..." As soon as Jiang Qingwu finished speaking, Gu Yanbai followed and threw the empty wine bottle directly into the fish pond not far away.

"Why are you still dealing with the government affairs? It's already dark..." Gu Yanbai said, and then suddenly remembered something, "Where is Yan Xue?"

Jiang Qingwu suddenly remembered something and reacted quickly.

This is Shangyang Palace, Yan Xiuchen's place. If Yan Xue does anything...

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingwu hurried away.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong. Yan Xue was sitting at the table in the hall, holding a vase of lilies and trimming them, but the trimming was very unbelievable.

"What are you doing? How did this flower offend you?" Jiang Qingwu shouted from afar and walked towards him.

Yan Xue heard the voice and suddenly stood up, then saw Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai behind her.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Please take a seat. I heard that you were coming for dinner, so I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite food."

Yan Xiuchen sat on the couch beside him and signaled to Zhong Quan, "Serve the meal."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yan Xue heard the voice and then approached Gu Yanbai with a smile, "You drank, are you drunk?"

"Whether you are drunk or not has no effect on my rejection of you." Having said that, Gu Yanbai sat down at the table.

Looking at Yan Xue cutting the flowers into a mess, she threw them away.

"Yan Xue, let me remind you that I contributed most of my efforts to Yan Lin's current situation..."

"The Shen family is in this situation today because of my scheme. If you want to seek revenge on me, I will kill you."

"If you want to have anything to do with me, I won't agree to it."

"If you insist on pestering me, I can think of a way to get you to marry..."

"Oh, yes, you want to go to Sang Country."

"The Fuye tribe also belongs to the Sang Kingdom. You can marry their chief..."

Gu Yanbai poured a glass of wine into his mouth as he spoke, then turned to look at Yan Xue.

"Their chief eats bugs, just like..."

As Gu Yanbai was speaking, Zhong Quan brought the palace servants from the imperial kitchen and brought up the imperial meal.

Cockroaches, cicadas, beetles, centipedes, and various insects that I can’t name.

Gu Yanbai looked at the plates of insects being put down and gave Yan Xue a playful smile.

"Shangyang Palace, a feast of insects, you can try it, and you will be able to adapt to Fuye someday."

Not to mention Yan Xue, a spoiled princess, even Jiang Qingwu, who had fought in the desert, almost vomited.

"Ugh..." Yan Xue's face turned pale and she ran away, covering her mouth.
