Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Yan Xiuchen looked at the angry Gu Yanbai, feeling mixed emotions, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time Yan Xiu Jin came to his senses, rushed over and pulled Gu Yanbai away.

"Are you going to strangle him to death in front of us?"

Gu Yanbai reacted and gradually calmed down.

Indeed, he could strangle Yan Chong to death in front of Yan Xiujin, but he couldn't do it in front of Yan Xiuchen.

"He doesn't dare. How dare he kill me... Humph, I don't believe anyone in this world dares to kill me."

"You two don't dare, Gu Yanbai doesn't dare, Jiang Qingwu doesn't dare either..."

"Shut up..." Yan Xiujin turned around and shouted angrily. Yan Chong was suddenly shocked, "How dare you..."

"So what if I was unbridled? You are the one who caused all this. It's all you..."

Yan Xiujin approached Yan Chong in a rage, and Yan Chong struggled to explain, "It was them..."

"Lu Mengjia wanted to kill me, and I was being merciful by not killing her."

"Lu Changqing wanted to rebel, and Lu Xijia cheated on me. They deserved it."

"Oh, and Lu Changqing made me a cripple, forcing me to hide for nearly ten years. I killed his entire family, and it was his own fault."

"My biggest regret is that I didn't kill Gu Yanbai..."

Yan Chong was like a madman. He looked at Gu Yanbai with gritted teeth and sneered, "I'll tell you, Gu Yanbai."

"Lu Xijia and Lu Changqing were childhood sweethearts, and they were going to get married in half a month."

"They all think I'm lustful, but actually... Lu Xijia is just like that..."

"I pamper her because she has always been flattering me, and also because I want to use her to control Lu Changqing and win over the Gu family..."

"But I didn't expect that when Lu Xijia entered the palace, she was pregnant with you, and that Lu Changqing had long been holding a grudge against her."

"On the surface, she talks about the past and the loyalty between the monarch and his subjects, but in fact, she has been flirting with Lu Xijia. Not only did she give birth to you, she also gave birth to that little bastard."

After listening to Yan Chong's words, Gu Yanbai rushed over in anger again, but was stopped by Yan Xiujin.

"Someone come here..." Yan Xiuchen shouted outside the door when he saw Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiujin arguing.

Jiuhan and Jiuye heard the sound and immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"First, lock him up in Nanyuan Library and ask Xiao Liuzi and the others to keep a close watch on him..."

"Yes, godfather..."

Hearing the sound, the two men immediately pulled Yan Chong away.

"Yan Xiuchen, you are such a traitor, such a rebellious son, how dare you lock me up, how dare you do this to me..."

Yan Xiu Jin listened to the shouting behind him, slowly let go of Gu Yan Bai, laughed bitterly, and sat down on the chair.

"Brother... tell me, is it possible that I am not his son..."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Yan Xiujin who was almost collapsed and was speechless.

"Your Majesty..." A shout came from the yard, and Wanyue ran towards the house.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The girl is missing..." Wanyue knelt directly on the ground.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yanbai came to his senses, turned around and went straight to the west wing.

"Doesn't she go to bed at dawn? It's not even noon yet, and she..."

Gu Yanbai looked at the empty west wing, turned around and saw Yan Xiuchen heading towards the front yard, then he thought of something.

"Funeral Hall?!"

Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen arrived at the mourning hall almost at the same time.

When the mourners saw Yan Xiuchen, they all bowed to him.

"See Your Majesty..."

"No need to be so polite." Yan Xiuchen agreed casually and gestured to Zhong Quan and Tan Xi who were not far away.

Seeing this, the two of them hurriedly stood up and followed Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai.

"His Majesty……"

Before Yan Xiuchen could speak, Gu Yanbai asked hurriedly, "So you're in love?"

"My queen? I haven't seen her...I think she hasn't come to the front yard."

Hearing this, Yan Xiuchen pulled Gu Yanbai and said, "Take your people to... go to Nanshan Tower to look for him. I... I'll go to the Imperial Mausoleum to take a look..."

"Nanshan Tower? Imperial Tomb?" Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen in confusion, but did not ask any more questions. He turned around and walked away quickly.

The two men split into two groups, with Gu Yanbai taking Wanyue and Jiuhan.

Yan Xiuchen brought Jiuye and several personal guards with him.

I searched almost everywhere I could, but there was no sign of Jiang Qingwu.

It was not until dark that the two returned empty-handed and met each other at the Regent's Palace.

Several horses stopped at the gate at the same time.

Seeing that Gu Yanbai was the same as himself, Yan Xiuchen sighed heavily, and the worry on his face became even more intense.

"There were no signs of a fight in the room, and there were clothes she had changed out of. She must have left on her own."

Yan Xiuchen said nothing, and rode his horse towards Gu Yanbai. "When Bai Ah died, she was seriously ill and fell into a coma for several days..."

"Now Nan Xiuye..."

Gu Yanbai sneered when he heard the voice, "Why, at this time, are you still jealous of Nan Xiuye?"

Yan Xiuchen sighed softly and shook his head, "I am worried about her. She is still injured. She has been tossing and turning for a whole day and night, drank so much wine, and only slept for two hours..."

As Gu Yanbai listened, his heart couldn't help but feel a tight grip.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden loud "bang" in the air, and brilliant fireworks burst out.

When Gu Yanbai looked up, his head buzzed and he instantly remembered something.

"Fifteen... Today is the fifteenth..."

"Yan Xiuchen, today is the 15th of July, there is a lantern festival in the north city..."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai's eyes suddenly turned red, and he murmured in a low voice, "When Nan Xiuye ​​died, he said that today is the fourteenth, and tomorrow is the fifteenth, and there will be fireworks in the city..."

"Fireworks..." Yan Xiuchen reacted and immediately pulled the reins to change direction, "Go..."

At the hour of Xu, the night was getting darker.

The Ghost Festival happens to fall on the 15th day of the lunar calendar.

The North City moat was extremely lively, with lights flashing and crowds of people.

"River lanterns, river lanterns, beautiful river lanterns, girl, look over here..."

"Mother, I want that..."

"Wow, the fireworks are so beautiful..."

"Come on, over there, look, there's singing and dancing in the moat..."

"Yeah, why is there singing and dancing this year?"

"I heard that the capital government accepted the task of some nobleman and held a sacrificial ceremony in the daytime. As long as the people in the four cities set off river lanterns to worship the dead souls and pray, they can receive white rice and silver money."

"You've been saying that you're spreading good karma and giving alms to the people, and it's been almost half a day."

Listening to the discussions around them, Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai could not help but look at each other, and walked towards the moat tacitly.

When the two arrived at the river, the sound of stringed instruments was loud on the singing stage built in the middle of the river.

Four women in green danced with Jiang Qingwu, who was in the front in a plain gauze dress.

The white dress with wide sleeves and the graceful gauze flutters in the wind, with the gauze covering the face, appearing faintly.

What she saw before her were fireworks, river lanterns, cheers from the people, and a peaceful and prosperous age.

For a moment, she suddenly felt that Nan Xiuye ​​was looking at her in the crowd.

He was wearing a black dress, holding her Tianyun Sword in his arms, with a smile on his face, just looking at her quietly.

As if telling her that he was right beside her.

"I can't hear you, nor can I see you, but I know that you can see me just like I did at that time..."

"Today's fireworks are set off for you. You see it!"

Jiang Qingwu looked around in a circle, as if he really saw the person in the corner, and tears welled up in his eyes.
