Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Chong paced towards the chair beside the counter, as if lost in thought, sometimes dazed, sometimes crazy.

"The captain who went with Yan Xiuchen that day betrayed him when he followed the army to the eastern border and told what happened that night."

"That rebellious son told the people from the Gu and Lu families about what happened in the palace. In order to protect you, the Lu and Gu families were willing to be captured by Yan Xiuchen."

"They know in their hearts that if Yan Xiuchen lets them go privately, he will be implicated as well. If Yan Xiuchen is also implicated, no one will be able to protect you."

"The Gu family and the Lu family only have you as their only heir. They are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect you."

"But as far as I know, some people were let go that day."

Yan Chong spoke lightly while picking up the teacup.

Seeing this, Gu Yanbai threw the wine jar at him from a distance.

However, the wine jar did not hit Yan Chong as it was blocked by the expert beside him.

With a "crack" sound, he landed on the ground. Gu Yanbai, who was close to collapse, sneered, "I actually... almost took his life more than once..."

Looking back, Yan Xiuchen left so decisively, without even saying a word to plead or persuade.

It turned out that he was in a hurry to take care of the people of Gu family and Lu family.

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai who was slumped in the chair, and his thoughts gradually calmed down.

"A man like you actually became a monarch and served as emperor for so many years."

"Humph, before, I thought Yan Lin had no talent for governing the world, but now I see that you are even more despicable."

Yan Chong glanced over with a cold light and threw the teacup towards Jiang Qingwu through the air.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu dodged to the side, sneered, and walked towards Yan Chong while secretly winking at Jiuhan.

"For personal revenge, for the green hat on his head, he actually massacred hundreds or thousands of people..."

"I'm sorry to my ancestors, and I'm sorry to the common people. There are gods above us..."

"You are a scum who goes against the will of heaven and defies the will of heaven. You will definitely be punished by heaven..."

Jiang Qingwu approached slowly, one voice after another.

Jiuhan behind him also silently approached Gu Yanbai and quietly put the dagger into his hand.

"How dare you!" Yan Chong roared, and black-clad masters immediately rushed over from all directions.

Jiang Qingwu saw the expert approaching, but looked at Yan Chong calmly, "Are you angry? There are even more unpleasant things to say, Father, don't be anxious."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu handed the prescription in his arms to Yan Chong.

"Prescription!" Yan Chong recognized the prescription from the Imperial Medical Bureau at a glance, and his face changed drastically in an instant, "How did this thing... fall into your hands?"

"What fell from the sky happened to land in my hands."

Jiang Qingwu said with a smile, holding the prescription and passing it to the surrounding masters in front of Yan Chong, and they all looked at it one by one.

"Everyone, take a quick look. Emperor Shun'an's prescription. Someone cut off his vitals with a knife and he became a eunuch..."

Yan Chong finally couldn't bear it anymore. He snatched the knife from the guard beside him and stabbed at Jiang Qingwu.

"I kill you!"

Yan Chong's martial arts skills were mediocre, he relied entirely on brute force, and he was indeed old, so he didn't use even half the strength of Shen Wei when he wielded the knife.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the knife coming at him, turned around, grabbed Yan Chong's arm and pulled him to his side.

The knife immediately became his weapon and was placed on Yan Chong's neck.

In an instant, everyone rushed over, but did not dare to move forward rashly.

"Don't come over here, come over here, and I'll kill him."

Jiang Qingwu shouted loudly, attracting everyone's gaze and attention.

At this time, Jiuhan immediately pulled Gu Yanbai up and moved secretly towards the door. Several guards also tacitly blocked the two people's sight.

Originally, he could escape as long as he dealt with the only two men in black at the door.

But at this moment, Gu Yanbai suddenly came to his senses and stopped abruptly, "Gu Qing..."

Looking at Jiang Qingwu who was surrounded in the distance, he subconsciously wanted to rush over.

Seeing this, Jiuhan calmly pulled the man back and said, "Young Master, please go first..."

"Don't worry about me, kill Gu Yanbai!" A loud shout suddenly came. It was too late for Jiuhan to leave at this time.

Everyone looked towards Jiuhan and realized that the two were almost at the door, and then they quickly surrounded them.

"Kill Gu Yanbai for me. If you want to die... everyone must die together."

Yan Chong shouted again, Jiang Qingwu became anxious and cut Yan Chong's neck with the blade.

"Let's see who dares!" Jiang Qingwu scolded, turning to look at Yan Chong, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, you..."

"He is not my son..." Yan Chong interrupted Jiang Qingwu angrily.

But Jiang Qingwu sneered, "I'm talking about... Yan Xiuchen!"

"If you kill Gu Yanbai, Yan Xiuchen will also die."

"Although Gu Yanbai has developed many antidotes for Yan Xiuchen, only Gu Yanbai can completely cure the Heart-Eating Gu's poison!"

Yan Chong heard the voice and shouted angrily, "Fool, if you hadn't wanted to save him, I would have shed my blood a second time by now!"

"I don't want Yan Xiuchen to die either!"

"Shut up!" Jiang Qingwu approached Yan Chong with the knife, but Yan Chong was not afraid at all. "I tell you, even if you kill me, you can't leave here."

"Tonight there will be chaos in the defense camps of the four cities. Someone will open the palace gate for me. Tomorrow morning, everyone will know that I am still alive."

"As for Yan Xiuchen, if I recognize him, he is the emperor. If I don't, he is a rebellious traitor."

Jiang Qingwu felt nervous when she heard this, even though she had already informed Yan Xiuchen in advance.

But at this point, they didn't know how many court officials still knew that Yan Chong was alive and were willing to follow him.

If his identity as Emperor Shun'an was revealed in public, Yan Xiuchen would no longer have a say.

"I really don't understand, if you care so much about the throne and the imperial power, why did you give up the throne and choose to hide in Jiangnan?"

Hearing this, Yan Chong let out a bitter laugh, "Do you think... I want to?"

"I can get rid of all those who know about my injuries, but...if I continue to stay in the palace, more and more people will know about it, and then I will have to keep killing them. I'm afraid...I won't be able to kill them all."

"The concubines, palace maids, and court officials, all of them hold high positions and are watching me. If they knew, if the whole world knew..."

"So... I had no choice but to pretend to be dead and hide in Jiangnan."

Jiang Qingwu nodded in sudden realization and laughed scornfully in disbelief.

"You really planned it out carefully... But you didn't expect that Gu Yanbai would come back alive from Fuye."

"Yeah, I originally thought that life was meaningless, but he is still alive, how can I die..."

"Step by step, we have come to this point. Today is the day he dies."

Jiang Qingwu listened and gradually calmed down. He grabbed Yan Chongde's shoulders and slowly walked towards Jiuhan and the others.

"You're dreaming! I advise you to let us go..."

"If we don't leave the Ghost Market safely at midnight, everyone in the capital will know about it tomorrow..."

"You, Emperor Shun'an, are a eunuch..."
