Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

After catching up with Jiang Qingwu, Wanyue tactfully bowed slightly to the two of them.

"I will go back first."

Seeing Wanyue walking away, Gu Yanbai smiled heartlessly at Jiang Qingwu, "Why are you walking so fast?"

"I didn't mean to say that..."

"You're right. It's indeed the truth. In fact, even if you didn't say it, I would have thought of it a long time ago."

Jiang Qingwu said, sighing softly, "My cousin said the same thing before."

"At that time, Yan Xiuchen was not yet the emperor."

"My cousin said that when he becomes emperor, he will have three thousand beauties in his harem, and there will also be a queen mother who will be superior to me."

"And Yan Xiuchen also has many things he can't help..."

"If it was the former Queen Mother, it would be fine, but now Queen Mother Zhong is Yan Xiuchen's biological mother..."

Jiang Qingwu walked forward as he spoke, unaware that Gu Yanbai was still standing there and hadn't caught up with him.

"Gu Qing, I don't know if Yan Xiuchen will change in the future, but if he changes, if you can't accept the change."

"You don't have to confine yourself to this palace and be a woman in the deep palace."

"Go to the North Country, go to the Qi Country, go to the West Country, or go to the Sang Country..."

"The world is so big, go and see the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas..."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai quietly. Seeing his burning eyes, she suddenly felt complicated.

These words sounded like parting words.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Qingwu felt something was wrong and took two steps back.

"Nothing, I just don't want you to become like my aunt and mother, being controlled in the palace and living a miserable life."

Jiang Qingwu smiled and nodded when he heard that, "Don't worry, I won't. If one day there is nothing left in this palace worth staying for, I will definitely leave without hesitation."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu seemed to suddenly remember something, and his face darkened slightly, "There is something I want to tell you after thinking about it."

"Empress Dowager Fenghe, although the abortion drug given to Queen Mengjia was instructed by Yan Chong, it was made by her."

"Also, the affair between your mother and Lu Changqing that had not been noticed for more than ten years was also discovered by the Queen Mother after she gave birth to Jiaojiao. She secretly investigated it and reported it to Yan Chong."

“That’s how all this happened.”

Gu Yanbai’s eyes opened wide and he looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief.

"What did you say, it was her?"

"Yes, she has admitted it herself. I originally wanted to live in poverty in Puling Temple, and her going there would be a way to atone for her sins."

"But after thinking about it, whether it can be considered as atonement is not something I should decide."

"I am on your side, so I have to tell you these things."

Jiang Qingwu said, and seeing Gu Yanbai's solemn expression, he sighed softly, "We still have to go to Chongling tomorrow, you should go back and rest early."

"Are you going tomorrow?"

"Go! Of course you have to go." Jiang Qingwu nodded and turned away.

Looking at Jiang Qingwu's back, Gu Yanbai couldn't calm down for a long time.

When Yan Xiuchen chased to Bilan Lake, he thought he would run into Gu Yanbai and Jiang Qingwu, but he was a step too late. Only Gu Yanbai was still standing on the corridor.

Looking at Gu Yanbai's standing back, Yan Xiuchen walked towards him and handed him the note in his hand.

"What?" Gu Yanbai looked at Yan Xiuchen in surprise. After taking the note, his expression gradually became ugly.

"Were Fuye people spotted in the ghost market? They dared to come to the capital at this time. I think Fuye is ready to take action against the Sang Kingdom."

"You won't let me go?"

Yan Xiuchen heard this and sighed softly, "Are you really willing to leave?"

"You don't want me to leave? You kept urging me to leave and even smuggled me out of Beijing on a boat. But now, you don't want to let me go?"

"I know that the old emperor of Sang State has no children. He values ​​you and hopes that you can succeed to the throne, but..."

Yan Xiuchen said, turning to look at Gu Yanbai, "If you must go back, I will send someone to accompany you back to Sang Country."

"You want to find someone to monitor me?" Gu Yanbai asked in surprise, frowning and chuckling, "You really can come up with any idea."

"Have you ever thought about a question?"

"what?"

"If I am assassinated in Sang Country, or suddenly fall ill, or die from something else, you will be buried with me."

"Even if I can deliver the antidote every month, I can't guarantee that I can live peacefully until I'm sixty, understand?"

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai smiled and walked closer to him, "Yan Xiuchen, just let me go. I accept life or death."

"It's better to take a gamble than to die together."

Yan Xiuchen looked at Gu Yanbai in a daze. After a long silence, he shook his head and said, "I can't afford the gamble..."

"Nan Xiuye ​​is no longer with us. If something happens to you..."

Gu Yanbai heard the voice and blurted out, "I am different from Nan Xiuye, and this is also different from my previous life."

"Nan Xiuye ​​was innocent. He was killed by his own father. His death was unjust."

"If I die, it's for you. It's my own fault. It's a worthy death."

"In your previous life, you killed me by mistake because you felt regret and guilt, and you will regret it for the rest of your life..."

"And now, I know all the truth and have taken revenge. I will die without any regrets."

Yan Xiuchen felt upset when he heard this. He couldn't accept that Gu Yanbai died for the antidote and for himself.

Now that the world is at peace, he can either be Master Gu, who is second only to the emperor, or Prince Zen of Sang, the future king.

It's just one step away, how can I take the risk for myself?

He refused, and didn't even want to listen.

"If we're going to die, we're going to die together. I won't allow you to take any risks."

Having said that, Yan Xiuchen turned and left. "Let's put the matter of Chongling tomorrow on hold for now. We can move the tomb after we get rid of the Fuye people in the ghost market..."

"What? No, Yan Xiuchen..." Gu Yanbai shouted and chased after Yan Xiuchen.

But not long after the two men left, two palace maids hiding in the dark quietly came out.

In his hand he held a tray with two soups and snacks on it.

Looking at Yan Xiuchen and the others walking away, he walked along the corridor in the center of the lake towards Fengxiang Palace.

The sleeping hall of Fengxiang Palace.

Jiang Qingwu changed her clothes and sat in front of the dressing table, taking apart her hair accessories and earrings when Wanyue walked in.

"Miss... Shangyang Palace sent two snacks and soup, saying that His Majesty specially ordered them..."

"Send it in." Jiang Qingwu didn't care and agreed in a low voice.

But when he saw in the mirror that two people were carrying things in and walking towards the table, Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly.

"Did His Majesty ask you to deliver it? What is it?"

"It's lotus seed soup and sesame cakes. His Majesty said that the queen didn't eat much, so he asked for them to be sent over so that the queen can have more."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the things on the table in the mirror and said nothing more.

Seeing the two leave, Jiang Qingwu stood up and sat down at the table.

"What's wrong? Girl, is...is there a problem?"

"It looks like there is food on the table, but I have never seen these two people in Shangyang Palace."

Jiang Qingwu stirred the lotus seed soup on the table and gestured to Wanyue, "First find a reason to detain him."

"Yes, girl..."

When Wanyue went to chase the two palace maids, Jiang Qingwu filled a bowl of lotus seed soup and walked towards the pond in the front yard.

When Xiao Luzi saw Jiang Qingwu coming out with her hair loose and wearing a long nightgown, he hurriedly waved to the young eunuch and walked towards Jiang Qingwu holding a lantern.

"My queen... this is..."

Jiang Qingwu didn't say anything either. He took advantage of the candlelight of the lantern to pour the lotus seed soup into the pond.

The carp in the pond popped their heads out and swam around the lotus seed soup in groups of three or four.

Soon, they turned over and floated on the water.
