Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Gu Yanbai’s mind was replaying everything that had happened in the past.

Indeed, he had angered Yan Xiuchen countless times, and they had even fought with each other and used swords.

He poisoned him, and he stabbed him with a sword.

He had troubled him countless times, so he imprisoned him in the dungeon and locked him up with iron chains.

He could even feel that Yan Xiuchen was being unreasonably good to him.

Even Jiang Qingwu was jealous and suspected whether they had other feelings.

Gu Yanbai thought about it and chuckled secretly, "Have you ever thought that if you don't kill me this time, many things will change and the consequences will be very troublesome."

"Of course I have thought about it. I thought that you would seek revenge on me, hurt the people around me, and destroy everything I have and Dayan by any means necessary."

"I also thought that the secrets of the past would be revealed little by little."

"But no matter what trouble it is, it's not as important as your survival."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai, thinking of the troubles he had experienced along the way, and let out a bitter smile.

"You really gave me a lot of trouble."

"But... Gu Qing came back, and he was willing to do anything to protect the people he cared about."

"Me too, I also have someone I care about."

"Yuya, Jiuhan, Yan Xiujin, the Queen Mother, Yannan, Yanbei, and of course, you..."

Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen in disbelief, sat up straight in surprise, and was about to say something when Jiuhan hurried in from outside.

Seeing Jiuhan, Gu Yanbai pointed at Jiuhan and blurted out, "Is he dead too?"

Yan Xiuchen chuckled, nodded, and gestured to the confused Jiuhan, "What's the matter?"

"Godfather, there are rumors of resurrection in the palace... They say... that godmother is a demon who has returned from the dead."

Yan Xiuchen suddenly became depressed, and Gu Yanbai also stood up suddenly, "So soon? Aren't the guards accompanying you all trusted people from Shangyang Palace and the Prince Regent's Palace?"

"Is your mouth so loose?"

Yan Xiuchen turned his head to look at Gu Yanbai, sneered and said, "How could it be possible that our people said that?"

Jiuhan also nodded and agreed, "As soon as I returned to the palace, I told the guards who were traveling with me. They are all working in Shangyang Palace, so it is impossible for the news to spread so quickly."

"That's... there are people like Yan Lin in the palace. Did they do it on purpose?"

"What's your purpose? Do you hope that this will make you tired of Gu Qing, or get rid of her?"

Yan Xiuchen heard the voice, smiled contemptuously, stood up slowly and said, "It's just a trick to make us busy, to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and to sneak into Chencang."

"Ask the Imperial Household Department to investigate, and you will personally supervise the case. Anyone found guilty of verbal abuse will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and expelled from the capital."

"Anyone who spreads rumors will be beaten to death." Yan Xiuchen gave the order as he walked out. His voice was not loud, but it revealed a hint of cold murderous intent.

When Gu Yanbai turned his head, Yan Xiuchen had already left the hall and reacted immediately.

"Hey, where are you going? I haven't finished talking yet. I still have something to ask you."

"Read the memorials in the Chengshu Palace, and have fun on your own."

……

The sky gradually darkened and people in the palace began to get busy.

Preparations for dinner, medicinal meals, snacks and midnight snacks have also begun for each palace and courtyard.

Jiang Qingwu took people to Yuya's palace to make some arrangements. When he came back, he happened to run into the palace servants from the imperial kitchen near Fengxiang Palace.

Before I saw anyone, I heard some whispers.

"Yes, it is said that the queen died in the Xiling battlefield. The current queen is a demon who has returned from the dead."

"No wonder our Majesty, at such a young age, dares not take a concubine. I thought he was deeply in love with her, but it turns out he was bewitched by a demon."

It had been less than two hours and the news of resurrection had spread here.

Since she heard it, everyone in the palace must be talking about it.

Jiang Qingwu stopped at the corner, and the voices of the two people's discussion were getting closer and closer.

Wan Yue, who was behind him, heard this and rushed over without waiting for Jiang Qingwu to react.

Wanyue's sudden rush out scared the two palace maids walking in front, and they dropped the trays in their hands, along with the prepared soup and snacks.

There was a crackling sound, and Xiao Luzi shouted, "How dare you!"

The palace maids who were lined up in a row reacted instantly when they heard Xiao Luzi's cry and fell to their knees.

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

"Forgive me? Who gave you the courage to talk about the queen?" Wan Yue stepped forward and slapped him.

The beaten maid knelt even lower, begging for mercy in a sobbing voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I won't do it again."

Jiang Qingwu calmed himself down and walked forward slowly, "What a pity for this bowl of beef soup and sesame cake."

"This is my favorite...

Jiang Qingwu walked around the sesame cakes and soup on the ground and walked towards the two people. "Where did you hear that just now?"

The two heard the voice and did not hide it. They quickly echoed in a low voice, "Eunuch Zhou from the Imperial Kitchen..."

"Eunuch Zhou said...it was Commander Liu of Shangyang Palace who said that..."

Shangyang Palace? Could it really be that this was spread by those guards today?

Jiang Qingwu was just wondering when he heard shouting and tearing sounds in the distance.

It sounded like the Imperial Guards were arresting someone, and the person being arrested was begging for mercy at the top of his voice.

"General, please spare my life. General Lu, please spare my life. I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again..."

When Jiang Qingwu looked in the direction of the voice, Jiuhan was also looking over there, and hurriedly came up to Jiang Qingwu.

"See you, empress."

"Get up, this is..."

Jiuhan looked at the eunuch behind him and walked closer to Jiang Qingwu, "Your Majesty has ordered me to..."

"Anyone who talks about the queen will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and expelled from the capital. Anyone who spreads rumors will be killed without mercy."

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly and looked at Jiuhan with some confusion, but still didn't ask anything.

"If that's the case, then that's perfect. I'll leave these two people to you to deal with."

"Yes, I obey."

Jiang Qingwu led his people back to Fenghe Palace. As soon as they arrived at the bedroom, Aqin came to greet them, "Madam, the young master is here. He is in the back hall, Bilan Lake."

"He came here by smelling the food. Does he know it's time to eat?"

"...No, Your Majesty, Young Master..." Aqin stammered. Jiang Qingwu also realized that something was wrong and went straight to the Bilan Lake in the back hall.

Before I got there, I could smell the aroma of grilled fish.

When I got closer, I found that Gu Yanbai was rolling up his sleeves, lifting up his robe, and fishing with a fishing rod.

Next to it are a chopping board, a kitchen knife, and all the ingredients.

There was also grilled fish served on the table.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai by the lake in disbelief, walked over with his eyes wide open, looked at the things on the chopping board.

"It's fine if you took a kitchen knife, but you took my knife..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at his Qingming Knife, which was being used by Gu Yanbai to cut fish, and quickly reached out to Wanyue, "Handkerchief."

When Gu Yanbai heard the shout, he turned around and saw Jiang Qingwu carefully wiping his knife, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"The kitchen knife is not as good as yours. Look at the fish fillet I cut. It's so good. I'll make sashimi for you later..."

Raw...fish slices? Jiang Qingwu heard this and turned to look at Gu Yanbai, angry and embarrassed.

"Cut fish fillets, sashimi, believe it or not, I will cut you..."
