Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Listening to Gu Yanbai's words, Jiang Qingwu felt heavy in his heart, his thoughts a little dazed, and he silently picked up the wine glass.

"These days, I suddenly realized that I am really a very hypocritical person."

"Whether it was before or in words, I always remind myself that this is how the harem is, this is how the queen is, and this is how your majesty should be."

"Even early on, I knew that I would have to share Yan Xiuchen with other women in the future."

"But now, occupying the position of queen and guarding the emperor as husband, she is unwilling to endure the troubles brought by these."

"How can a person want this and that at the same time?"

Gu Yanbai smiled upon hearing this, and moved closer to him with a sigh, "It's not that you want both this and that."

“It’s the experience and the environment that changes everything.”

"When you were with Yan Lin before, you had so many concubines and maids, but you were not bothered at all."

"When you were planning to remarry Yan Xiuchen, did you ever really think about sharing your husband with someone else in the future?"

"But later, Yan Xiuchen's promise, the subtle feelings, the entanglement of past and present lives..."

"It just makes you gradually feel that the love between you and Yan Xiuchen is so deep that it cannot be changed."

Jiang Qingwu fell into a trance and thought, with Gu Yanbai's words echoing in his ears.

"Really? Is that so? But I always feel that I am too greedy."

"She wants the position of queen, she wants supreme power, but she also wants to be like an ordinary couple..."

"Do you really want to be the queen?" Gu Yanbai suddenly asked.

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses in a daze, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yanbai with a look of surprise.

"What did you want in the beginning, the position of queen, or Yan Xiuchen's path to becoming the emperor?"

"And what Yan Xiuchen wants is the throne, or he thinks you want to be the queen."

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu who was standing there in a trance, chuckled, and sat up straight.

"What you want is nothing more than Yan Xiuchen."

"And all he wants is you."

"That was my original intention. Now I am just being dragged down by my power and position, and now I have some more troubles that I don't need to worry about."

"Many things in this world are caused by coincidences, and the road of life is full of separations and deaths. This sentence... was said by Yan Xiuchen."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai picked up the wine glass and stood up.

As Jiang Qingwu thought about Gu Yanbai's words, his mind gradually became clearer.

"Hey, I just realized that this place has imprisoned me before..."

Gu Yanbai held the wine glass, looked at the small house in the distance, and remembered something.

"At that time, we were at loggerheads with each other, but now..."

"I'm a little reluctant to leave you!" Gu Yanbai's voice gradually subsided, and Jiang Qingwu also came back to his senses, looking at the house in the distance, feeling a little emotional.

"I heard everything about your identity."

"Now, you are the surviving orphan of the Gu family, and your identity as the Prince of Sang has also been made public..."

"The war between Sang and Fuye is approaching, are you really going to leave?"

Gu Yanbai's thoughts were interrupted, and he turned around and suddenly smiled, "Why, are you in a hurry to get me out? Don't be in a hurry."

"The Gu and Lu families have had their cases overturned, and the matter of the relocation of Chongling has also been made public. The Ministry of Rites said that it should be a big event, and Yan Xiuchen agreed."

"I estimate it will take a few more days. Even if you want to drive me away, you will have to endure it for a few more days."

Gu Yanbai came back with the wine glass and was about to sit down when he noticed something. His face darkened and he sat down silently next to Jiang Qingwu and lowered his voice.

"Someone is watching... It seems that even if it's not coming for us, it's related to us."

Jiang Qingwu glanced at the dark corner of the wall calmly and sighed softly, "Jiu Ye has been leading people to search and eliminate Fu Ye's people these days. They can't move. Could they be Fu Ye's people in disguise?"

"They were searched and had no way to escape, so they hid in Liu Shan Tang."

"This Liushan Hall usually uses the name of Miss Jiang's family, perhaps to provide shelter."

Gu Yanbai held the wine glass thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he slowly shook his head, "I have been in Fuye for two years. The people there are very unique. Most of them are short, and they are not as rough as this..."

"Although clothes and appearance can be changed, behavior, habits and body shape cannot be changed."

"It doesn't look like someone from Fuye."

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly, and then suddenly thought of something, "Queen Mother..."

"what?"

"The Queen Mother of Fenghe Palace, I went to Puling Temple today and met her."

"I know, wasn't he... killed by Fuye's people?"

Jiang Qingwu shook her head and said, "No, she committed suicide. She escaped from the palace this time to fulfill Yan Chong's last wish, which was to kill you."

"But poisoning is just a small trick. She seems to be... allied with someone, or there is someone behind her."

"But now in Dayan, I really can't think of anyone who would form an alliance with her and want to kill you and me..."

Gu Yanbai had a solemn look on his face. He looked at the stalker who had already left in the distant corner, then picked up the flute.

"Do you suspect they are the ones behind what the Queen Mother said?"

"Go and take a look. If it doesn't work, just arrest him. The truth will become clear after the interrogation."

Jiang Qingwu nodded, grabbed his two swords, stood up, and strode towards the front yard with Gu Yanbai.

But when they wanted to catch people, it was too late.

The front yard became quiet. Except for a few women cleaning up the leftovers on the table, those people had long disappeared.

Feng Qizi saw the two people rushing out and hurried over to greet them, "What's wrong, girls..."

"What about those people?"

Feng Qizi followed the direction Jiang Qingwu pointed, and said in a daze, "They left. They left after they finished eating."

"They come here to eat every day. This is their only meal of the day, and they don't ask for any wages."

"No wages?" Gu Yanbai seemed to be more certain of their guess.

It should be aimed at them. The city is in a panic now, and they are just seeking shelter from Liushan Hall.

"So, they really have a problem. Do you know where they live?"

"I don't know. They said they live in a village outside the city, but I don't know exactly where. What's wrong, girl? They..."

Gu Yanbai suddenly calmed down after hearing the voice, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it doesn't matter."

"Gu Qing, they knew we were here, but they didn't know we had discovered them, so we didn't alert them."

"It's better to stay put."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai gestured to Feng Qizi, "Find a clean room for your daughter to stay in."

"We will stay here today..."

Feng Qizi looked at Gu Yanbai in astonishment, and then looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief.

"That's just right. I don't want to go back to the palace either." Jiang Qingwu agreed and turned to go to the backyard.

Gu Yanbai smiled and added to Feng Qizi, "It doesn't matter to me. The closer I am to her, the better..."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu walking away, Gu Yanbai moved closer to Feng Qizi and said, "Those people are indeed suspicious. You keep a close eye on her. I'm going to go out and do something and will be back soon."

"okay, I get it."

After Gu Yanbai left, he jumped onto the roof and carefully looked around for something.

Sure enough, in the dilapidated and deserted alley nearby, several voices were heard.
