Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Are there many people who know about this?

Jiang Qingwu looked at the Queen Mother in some surprise. Just as he was about to ask something, he noticed something was wrong.

The Queen Mother paced the hall in panic, on the verge of collapse, muttering like a madman.

"No, it's not me. It has nothing to do with me. I just set the fire..."

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly walked towards her, raised his voice and called her.

"Queen Mother...calm down, calm down..."

After several consecutive sounds, the Queen Mother came to her senses and looked at Jiang Qingwu in front of her, but she was not awake. She grabbed Jiang Qingwu fiercely.

"Mengjia...it's you, it's you, Mengjia..."

"No, no, no, you are not Mengjia, you are Xijia, you are Xijia..."

"Don't come over here, don't come over here, Xijia, you are Xijia, you came to see me..."

Seeing the madness, Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen walked over at the same time.

Yan Xiuchen pulled the Queen Mother away, and Gu Yanbai also pulled Jiang Qingwu out of the Queen Mother's hands.

"Let me go, let me go... I don't know, I don't know anything..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the empress dowager struggling in Yan Xiuchen's hands, his eyes deep as he thought about something.

Then, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, he shouted outside the hall.

"Someone is coming..."

Jiuhan and the commander of the Fenghe Palace's personal guards then hurried up to the palace.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Yan Xiuchen pulled the empress dowager and looked at Jiang Qingwu.

The moment their eyes met, Yan Xiuchen seemed to have guessed what Jiang Qingwu meant.

"The Queen Mother is not feeling well. No one is allowed to enter Fenghe Palace except for Imperial Physician Li and the palace maids such as Nanny Zhong..."

"Wanyue, send the empress dowager back to the bedroom." Jiang Qingwu ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xiuchen blurted out another sentence.

"Pass on my order. Today's matter at Fenghe Palace ends here."

"If anyone spreads this and mentions what happened today, they will be killed without mercy."

"Yes, I will follow your majesty's order..."

Gu Yanbai looked at the two of them tacitly covering up the matter, his face darkened instantly, he grabbed the jade flute on the table and turned away.

When Jiang Qingwu saw this, he immediately understood what was going on and hurriedly chased after him.

"Gu Yanbai, wait a moment, Gu Yanbai..."

Gu Yanbai walked with big strides, and Jiang Qingwu followed him at a trot. Gu Yanbai didn't stop until they reached a remote garden.

It was the middle of the night and there was not many people around. The two of them seemed to be buried deep in the dark night.

"Why are you walking so fast? The Queen Mother can't ask you anything at this point."

"If word of tonight's events gets out, there's no guarantee that the Queen Mother won't become the second Yan Xue."

"So we must keep our mouths shut. Besides, we are just looking for the truth, not announcing it to the world."

"I know you want to investigate what happened back then. I want to investigate too, but..." Jiang Qingwu explained repeatedly.

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu quietly, but suddenly realized something.

Jiang Qingwu chose to cover up what happened tonight because he was afraid that King Suqing would kill people to silence them and that their investigation would lose clues.

But Yan Xiuchen wanted to cover up what happened tonight, so he probably wanted to interrupt it, especially to cut off Jiang Qingwu's idea of ​​continuing the investigation.

"There's nothing to check." Gu Yanbai blurted out.

There was a slight coldness on his face, but he was not as angry as he was when he rushed out of Fenghe Palace just now.

"What...what do you mean?" Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai in surprise.

Gu Yanbai lowered his eyes slightly, paced thoughtfully and said, "It's nothing, I wanted to find the real culprit of the fire in Xifeng Palace, and now I have found him."

"So, there's nothing to check."

As Gu Yanbai was speaking, he saw Yan Xiuchen and Nan Xiuye ​​catching up with him from afar.

Then he breathed softly, turned around and walked towards Jiang Qingwu calmly.

"After the coronation and empress-making ceremony, I will kill the queen mother and avenge Queen Mengjia and Concubine Jia."

“And then, it was all over.”

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai who was approaching step by step, raised his eyes and looked at him intently.

I was shocked and full of doubts.

So many questions, so many secrets he hadn't solved, and he was just going to end it like that?

Or, those doubts were just his own doubts. For Gu Yanbai, knowing that it was the Queen Mother who did it was enough to fulfill his wish.

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu who was full of suspicion. Jiang Qingwu was standing there in a daze, and then suddenly chuckled and deliberately raised his voice.

"I'm tired. I'm going to visit a brothel and drink wine today. Don't let anyone stop me."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai curled his lips and smiled at Jiang Qingwu, then he leaped away with his light Kung Fu skills and disappeared into the night.

"Hey...Gu Yanbai..." Jiang Qingwu took two steps in the direction of Gu Yanbai.

However, he did not notice that Nan Xiuye ​​and Yan Xiuchen had stopped not far behind him.

Nan Xiuye ​​looked at Jiang Qingwu in the distance, and couldn't help but look at Yan Xiuchen.

The eyes looking at Jiang Qingwu were filled with bitterness and uneasiness.

"Gu Yanbai... looks reckless, but he is actually very thoughtful."

"He also doesn't want Qingwu to continue investigating."

"At least on this point... our hopes are the same."

Yan Xiuchen's thoughts were pulled back. He smiled faintly and looked at Nan Xiuye, "Please trouble you."

Nan Xiuye ​​bowed his head slightly and saluted Yan Xiuchen, "Don't worry, my royal brother. Chihongwei, Awen and Awu are always here."

"I will follow immediately..."

Looking at Nan Xiuye ​​walking away, Yan Xiuchen suddenly felt a surge in his heart and subconsciously covered his chest.

"Godfather..." Jiuhan saw this and hurriedly supported Yan Xiuchen.

But Yan Xiuchen noticed something, grabbed Jiuhan, and quietly hid in the dark.

Jiang Qingwu heard the noise and when he turned around, he only saw a few imperial guards standing there in the distance.

She thought they were the royal guards following her from a distance to protect her, so she didn't think much about it and turned to head towards the Shangyang Palace.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen secretly waved to the imperial guards and said, "Follow them and protect the queen."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Several people murmured in agreement and hurried away.

It was not until the people walked away that Yan Xiuchen relaxed his vigilance, leaning against the banyan tree beside him and spitting out blood.

"Godfather..."

"Go, go to the Imperial Medical Office to find Imperial Physician Li, and don't tell Gu Qing..."

Jiang Qingwu changed his clothes and stood barefoot by the Bilan Lake in the bedroom of Shangyang Palace.

It was almost past midnight, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

The coolness of the lake made her even more sober.

Overnight, everything changed.

She originally wanted to use the opportunity of offering sacrifices to Zhuang Youwen to deal with Yan Xue.

But I didn't expect that Yan Xue died, Fang Wen died, and the Queen Mother... also went crazy...

Jiang Qingwu thought secretly, and suddenly remembered the time when he was in the Regent's Palace.

Yan Xiuchen once told me this with a helpless look on his face.

He said that regarding Gu Yanbai, the reasons and the truth behind it were not just the grudges and gains and losses of one person.

It concerns the life and death of too many people.

Having come this far, she seemed to suddenly understand something.

King Suqing spent his entire life in the dark, staring at Yan Xiuchen and everyone else.

The purpose is to bury the dusty secrets of the past forever.

No matter who it is, as long as there is a possibility of uncovering the past, there is only death.

Those secrets are like a mausoleum buried deep underground.

Prince Suqing was the keeper of the tomb in secret, and Yan Xiuchen was the leader who drove the horses forward.

The one who broke all the balance was Gu Yanbai.

If Gu Yanbai didn't show up, if I didn't investigate it thoroughly.

Maybe... many things and many people can keep their secrets deep and live in peace until death.
