Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When Jiang Qingwu arrived at Langting Palace, it was already completely dark.

There was silence all around, with gusts of cold wind, making the place feel even more eerie and spooky.

Jiang Qingwu looked around vigilantly and pushed the door open carefully before walking in.

The dilapidated villa was no different from before. Neither Gu Yanbai nor the person who had invited her was there.

It was not until she reached the entrance hall that she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

Fell into a trap?!

Jiang Qingwu looked at the darkness in the room and heard the disorderly footsteps behind him, and instantly realized something.

But it was too late to escape now.

Fortunately, there were not many people, only four.

Two palace maids, a eunuch, and a royal guard.

Some of the four men were holding short blades, some were holding sabers, their clothes were different, but they all had their faces covered.

"I guess...Gu Yanbai is not here."

"Your Highness is really smart, but it's too late."

Jiang Qingwu sneered and took out the jade pendant from his waist, "This thing... I think it belongs to Gu Yanbai."

"The people who serve him in Shangyang Palace are all his trusted followers. Normally, no one can get close to him easily. How did you get it?"

The palace maid not far away drew out the short blade in her hand, ready to start a fight.

"Mr. Gu bumped into me in broad daylight. It was just a trick."

Jiang Qingwu nodded slightly, looked at the few people, and put away the jade pendant.

"Your Majesty is clearing out the spies and informants in the palace. Are you unable to hold back and are you going to jump out on your own?"

"I am following your orders, my lady. I am sorry for the offense."

The palace maid echoed, and then several people rushed forward.

Jiang Qingwu's eyes turned cold, he dodged the short blade by leaning sideways, then drew his sword and slashed at it.

The martial arts skills of these people were quite strong. Although they were no match for Jiang Qingwu, they could not withstand the fatal attack of four people on her.

What was even worse was that after struggling for a while, she began to feel powerless, her breathing became disordered, and she even had difficulty breathing.

Yan Xiuchen, don’t come here. I’m almost dying here trying to save your brother.

Jiang Qingwu was complaining in his heart and was distracted for a moment, and his arm was cut by the knife. He retreated repeatedly before he could barely stand still.

Seeing several people approaching, Jiang Qingwu quickly raised his hand and shouted, "Wait, wait... No more fighting, no more fighting!"

Perhaps they wanted to catch their breath, so they actually stopped.

"I understand that you want to kill me, but your master wants to kill Gu Yanbai more, right..."

"Well, I will cooperate with you, and you can write another letter to lure Gu Yanbai here."

"If Gu Yanbai really comes, just let me go."

Jiang Qingwu put away the knife while speaking, and subconsciously covered his chest, "My injuries have not healed yet, and my internal energy is in chaos. I am no match for you at all. I won't fight anymore..."

"The Queen and Master Gu have a deep bond, so they must be fooling us..."

The palace maid who took the lead shouted and immediately prepared to step forward.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu hurriedly shouted, "Wait... I'm really not kidding you. Gu Yanbai and I don't have much affection for each other."

"If you can capture him, it will definitely be a greater achievement than killing me."

"When the time comes, your master will surely reward you."

"I have survived a near-death experience, but I don't want to die here..."

Although several people did not believe it, Jiang Qingwu did say one thing that made them agree.

Capturing Gu Yanbai is indeed a greater achievement than killing Jiang Qingwu.

"My little beauty, are you going to sell me out just like that?" Gu Yanbai's voice suddenly came from the roof.

When everyone was panicking, Jiang Qingwu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you still posing? I'm almost out of blood." Jiang Qingwu shouted at the roof.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai flew over and landed in front of Jiang Qingwu. "Are you hurt? Is it serious?"

"Xiaoshang, where's Yan Xiuchen? Why is it you?"

Gu Yanbai's face darkened upon hearing this. He turned to look at Jiang Qingwu and asked, "What do you mean, I can't come?"

"Why, only Achen can save you, but I can't?"

"No, I asked Xiao Luzi to inform Yan Xiuchen, and I thought you were kidnapped."

"How could you be so stupid? How could my martial arts be so easily..."

Before Gu Yanbai could finish his words, several people behind him rushed over.

"Be careful..." Jiang Qingwu looked at the knife coming towards Gu Yanbai from behind, pulled the man away, and raised his hand to block it with the knife.

But he was caught off guard and was knocked back repeatedly by the powerful force.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai grabbed Jiang Qingwu, turned around and kicked the man out, then pulled him steadily into his arms.

The two of them cooperated well, and Gu Yanbai's eyes were fixed on the person in his arms.

But as soon as Jiang Qingwu stood still, he came to his senses.

Without waiting for Gu Yanbai to say anything, he broke away from Gu Yanbai's arms.

Gu Yanbai opened his mouth, and when he saw Jiang Qingwu and a few others fighting, he pulled out a dagger from behind and rushed forward.

When Nan Xiuye ​​and the Imperial Guards arrived at the Langting Palace, they had already captured two people.

One of them died, and the remaining palace maid was about to escape, but Nan Xiuye ​​grabbed the bow and arrow beside him and shot her.

Gu Yanbai breathed a sigh of relief, put away the dagger, and walked towards Jiang Qingwu.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Jiang Qingwu covered his chest and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Gu Yanbai looked at the wound on Jiang Qingwu's arm, and then pulled him to the stone table.

He tore off a piece of silk from his robe and carefully wrapped it around the wound. "Bandage it first, and then go back and ask Imperial Physician Li to take a look."

When Nan Xiuye ​​captured the three living people, he turned around and saw Gu Yanbai in the distance, and couldn't help but walk quickly towards him.

"injured?"

"It's just a superficial wound, it's nothing serious." Jiang Qingwu agreed, took out the pendant from his waist and handed it to Gu Yanbai.

"The palace maid said that she bumped into you during the day, so she must have stolen it at that time."

Gu Yanbai looked at the waist pendant in Jiang Qingwu's hand, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Jiang Qingwu also held half of his jade pendant.

Although it is not the same piece, it reminds me of many things in the past.

"Hey, you hurt your head, why are you in a daze? Here, take it."

Jiang Qingwu put the waist pendant into Gu Yanbai's hand and moved closer to Nan Xiuye, "Why are you here too? Where's Yan Xiuchen?"

"Oh, Gu Yanbai asked Xiao Luzi to come to me and said he would come to Langting Palace to look for you."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty should be meeting the Left Prime Minister and others in Shangyang Palace by Prince Pingqing."

Jiang Qingwu nodded, then picked up the two swords on the stone table, "Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu striding away, Gu Yanbai was about to follow him when he was grabbed by Nan Xiuye.

"I know that there is a seed buried in your heart."

"For so long, you have buried the seed deep and well, so don't let it take root and sprout again."

Gu Yanbai chuckled and turned to look at Nan Xiuye, "Why are you so weird today? You keep saying things I don't understand."

"Okay, then I'll tell you my story."

"If anything happens to any of us today, she will come to rescue us... Gu Yanbai, wake up."

Gu Yanbai naturally knew what Nan Xiuye ​​meant. His eyes turned slightly cold and he violently shook off his restraints with his arms.

"This is the second time today that you've told me to wake up."

"I don't want to hear it a third time, and... I'm sober."
