Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu was a little stunned, looking at Yan Xiuchen for a while without coming back to his senses.

Gu Yanbai saw Nan Xiuye ​​walking away and sat towards Jiang Qingwu.

"You, don't worry too much. We are here and will never let him take you away and bleed you."

Jiang Qingwu was still in a daze, but when he heard Gu Yanbai's words, his heart couldn't help but tighten slightly.

Looking at Gu Yanbai, he slowly stood up and looked at him and Yan Xiuchen in surprise.

"You are very strange. You don't think this is absurd or funny. Instead, one of you wants to get rid of that sorcerer, and the other wants to protect me."

"You believe it, you believe what Yan Lin said, you believe that I am... resurrected?"

Yan Xiuchen finally came back to his senses at this time. He looked at Jiang Qingwu, not knowing what to say for a moment, his mind full of thoughts from his past life.

Yan Xiuchen didn't say whether he believed it or not. Before he could even open his mouth, Xiao Luzi outside the door hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, the phoenix robe that the Queen will wear at the coronation ceremony has been made. You need to try it on and then confirm it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiuchen quickly stood up and changed the subject.

"Gu Qing, let's talk about this later. This phoenix robe is to be worn in the main hall when the queen is crowned. All the civil and military officials will be present, and she will also be worn to offer sacrifices to the heavens."

"Go try on your clothes first. I'll go to Fengxiang Palace to accompany you during dinner."

Although Jiang Qingwu had some doubts in his heart, he silently suppressed all the questions at this moment.

"Okay, then I'm going back."

Gu Yanbai watched Jiang Qingwu take Wanyue and the others away, swallowing secretly.

He chased a few steps toward the door, making sure the person had really left before turning around to look at Yan Xiuchen.

His eyes were sharp, looking at Yan Xiuchen as if he were a monster.

"Now I am really sure that everything you told me before was true."

Yan Xiuchen made no excuses and just drank his tea from the cup.

"I understand. I finally understand why Gu Qing hates the Shen family so much."

"Why do you have to kill Shen Wanrong and Yan Lin?"

"And you, when everyone thought Gu Qing was going too far, you were the only one who supported her."

Gu Yanbai paced in front of Yan Xiuchen as he spoke, seeming to be thinking about something.

"I see. I see now."

"So you broke into the engagement banquet, took Jiang Qingwu away, forced her to remarry, and even started fighting for the throne from obscurity."

"Actually, it's because you and Gu Qing have both been resurrected. You both... died once."

Gu Yanbai was talking, and he sat towards Yan Xiuchen, "You only talked about Gu Qing before, and never mentioned yourself."

"How did you die? What happened?"

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai quietly, sighed softly, and reached out to touch Gu Yanbai's forehead.

"Why are you as crazy as Yan Lin? What you just said was ridiculous. How could you believe it..."

"Come on, shut up. I was already half-believing and half-doubting."

"Now that Yan Lin's incident has happened, it has confirmed my half of the suspicion."

"There are so many wonders in this world, how about I believe it?"

Gu Yanbai pushed Yan Xiuchen's hand away, repeatedly affirming himself, and then took away the teacup in front of him.

"You can just keep trying to fool around, but I already know your story, so you'd better tell the truth."

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth, sighed helplessly, hesitated for a long time, and waved at Zhong Quan in the distance.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Quan immediately sent everyone in the hall away.

"Okay, everyone's gone, it's just the two of us, let's talk."

As Gu Yanbai spoke, he sat on the couch, crossed his legs, and looked like he was listening attentively.

"It's not resurrection from the dead, it's rebirth from the dead, back to three years ago."

Yan Xiuchen suddenly spoke, and his words made Gu Yanbai freeze in his curled-up state, and then he suddenly sat up straight.

"What does it mean to go back to three years ago?"

Seeing Gu Yanbai's eyes full of fear and shock, Yan Xiuchen silently picked up the teacup and said, "Gu Qing and I have experienced a different life."

"We died in Dayan 168 years..."

Gu Yanbai's face turned pale and he swallowed secretly. The hand holding the flute suddenly became at a loss.

"So, you have already experienced a lifetime?"

"Yes, in that life, we all made the wrong choices and took the wrong path. Our ending was... very miserable."

Yan Xiuchen said this, sighed softly, and leaned back on the couch, seeming to be lost in thought.

"Gu Qing chose Yan Lin, but was used and plotted against by the Shen family and Yan Lin. In the end, he helped him ascend to the throne, but he was charged with treason, and the entire Jiang family was massacred."

“Even the Su family was not spared.”

Gu Yanbai gradually came back to his senses and calmed down. He looked at Yan Xiuchen and vaguely remembered something.

"I remember you said that you killed me once. Was it...in your previous life?"

Yan Xiuchen turned to look at Gu Yanbai and nodded gently, "Yes, it happened in the previous life."

"What happened, how I died... in your hands."

Yan Xiuchen heard this and laughed bitterly, "You looked like you wanted to die on my sword, just like this time. It's really easy to die in my hands."

"In my previous life, after Gu Qing and Yan Lin's engagement party, you asked me to meet you in the East Territory, saying that you could cure my heart-eating insect poison."

"When I went to see you secretly, King Suqing sent Nan Xiuye ​​to secretly follow me to the East Territory."

"When we were in the East Territory, we had a disagreement and we started fighting. I didn't mean to kill you."

“I just didn’t expect that Nan Xiuye ​​and King Suqing’s men would suddenly show up and try to assassinate you.”

"Your guard, Nan Xiuye, you and I, got into a fight."

"I accidentally stabbed you with the sword. I was planning to save you."

"But you won't..."

Yan Xiuchen murmured, as if he was trapped in the memories of his past life, unable to extricate himself, and his eyes turned red.

"You didn't let me save you, but before you died, you drained all your blood and cured me of the heart-eating insect poison."

"You are dead, and Nan Xiuye ​​is also dead. They both died in the East Territory."

"Your death also made me completely depressed. In addition... I was in love with Yan Lin. From then on, I began to think about quitting."

"Prince Suqing and his men refused and wanted me to be the emperor, but Gu Qing said she wanted to be the queen."

"At that time, I didn't know Yan Lin wasn't a good person, nor did I know that Gu Qing had recognized the wrong person. I just wanted to help her."

"So, I secretly wiped out Wang Suqing's gang and sent him back to Jiangnan. Soon, he fell seriously ill and passed away..."

Yan Xiuchen said this, sighed softly, and turned to look at Gu Yanbai.

"After you die, the secrets about you, the secrets of the royal family, the secrets of the palace..."

"Including... the secrets of Fang Wen, Xifeng Palace, and Langting Palace, they have all been completely buried and no one mentions them anymore."

Gu Yanbai listened silently, and seemed to suddenly realize something and let out a bitter laugh.

"So, many things happening now, many complications, are because... I am alive!"

"It's all because of this life that you didn't bear to kill me."

Yan Xiuchen's eyes suddenly turned red, and he turned his head away and chuckled, trying to hide the sadness in his heart.

"I lost it once, I know what it feels like, I know the pain."

"How could I... let you die again?"
