Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

In September, the wind is already cold, especially at night, when there are gusts of chill.

When Jiang Qingwu went to Shangyang Palace for dinner, Yan Xiuchen and Yan Xiujin were sitting at the table playing chess.

"Prince Pingqing, I haven't seen him in the past few days. Why is he here?"

Jiang Qingwu looked inside in some surprise. Xiao Luzi behind him heard what Jiang Qingwu said and came over silently.

"The prince should have entered the palace in the evening..."

Jiang Qingwu said "oh" and was about to go in when he heard Gu Yanbai's voice coming from the roof not far away.

"Little beauty, you're here?"

In the night, Gu Yanbai's white clothes stood out.

"Why did you climb so high? Is it convenient for you to escape?"

Gu Yanbai chuckled, half lying on the roof, looking up at the night sky and said, "Come here, I'll tell you."

Jiang Qingwu frowned upon hearing this, then walked towards the yard, "Xiao Luzi, please leave first."

After saying that, Jiang Qingwu leaped onto the roof, wrapped his cloak with his hands, and sat next to Gu Yanbai.

"Come on, what do you want to tell me?"

"Today's night sky is very dazzling, full of shining stars."

Seeing Gu Yanbai's sentimental look, Jiang Qingwu raised his eyes to look at the night sky, "You asked me to come up here just to tell me this?"

Gu Yanbai lowered his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his lips and sighed, "No, I want to tell you that tomorrow is the day to move the burial site to Chongling."

"I know..." Jiang Qingwu murmured.

Gu Yanbai stared at Jiang Qingwu in silence for a long time, then turned away.

"Before, here, on the same roof, you once told me that I couldn't bear to leave Dayan until I left."

"At that time, I had not yet taken revenge and did not know the truth. Besides being reluctant to leave, I was also unwilling to leave."

"But now, I just can't bear to leave."

Jiang Qingwu felt uneasy and worried, but he still managed to force a smile on his face.

"Don't be so sad. Once the Chongling incident is over, the Queen Mother will return to the capital."

"Then it was Jiuhan and Jiuye's wedding."

"Wait until the wedding is over..."

Gu Yanbai listened, then suddenly interrupted Jiang Qingwu, "By the way, Wanyue has left the palace, right? Has she returned to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Jiang Qingwu nodded gently, "Yes, the wedding date has been set. She is now the second daughter of the Jiang family, so she naturally has to go back to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Then you don't have any helpers around you."

"How could that be? There is also Ah Qin in the palace. She is also from the Marquis' Mansion and is very considerate..."

Gu Yanbai sighed softly and interrupted, "That Ah Qin doesn't know martial arts, right? He can only take care of your daily life, but can't be your left-hand man."

"Now that Great Yan is at peace and prosperity, and I am the queen, there is no need for me to have any experts around me."

Jiang Qingwu said, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I heard from Yan Xiuchen that after the Chongling incident is over, he will send Xiao Liuzi and his personal guards to escort you back to Sang Country."

"From now on, Sangguo and Dayan will be one family."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu moved closer to Gu Yanbai and said with a smile, "My father, my elder brother, and Huanyue have all gone to the East Territory with the army."

"When you return, contact your father and you will surely be able to wipe out Fuye in one fell swoop."

"Later, I can go to Sang Country to have a drink with you..."

Hearing Jiang Qingwu's words, Gu Yanbai's eyes lit up slightly and he turned to look at Jiang Qingwu.

"You want to go to Sang Country to drink with me? Does Yan Xiuchen agree?"

Gu Yanbai blurted out, and before Jiang Qingwu could answer, he suddenly came to his senses and said with a curve of his lips, "I guess he can't control you."

"Okay, it's a deal."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai extended his hand towards Jiang Qingwu, "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. I take it seriously. I will wait for you in Sang Country."

"When the time comes, be sure to come to me, and I will treat you with the best wine."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the hand that Gu Yanbai extended to him and raised his hand to high-five him.

"It's a word."

Looking at Jiang Qingwu, Gu Yanbai hesitated for a moment, then took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Jiang Qingwu.

"What is it? For me?"

Gu Yanbai nodded and said, "Yes, it's for you. I have been keeping it carefully."

"Gold medal?" Jiang Qingwu looked at the gold medal engraved with the word "Xi" in the box and looked at Gu Yanbai with surprise.

Gu Yanbai smiled and said casually, "This is the golden token of Prince Zeen of Sang Kingdom."

"There is only one token in Sang Country. The king gave it to me, and he also gave Sang Country to me."

"Everyone in Sang knows that this golden token is like a jade seal."

"It is also because of this that everyone in Sang country spreads the word that I am the designated crown prince and the future emperor."

Jiang Qingwu looked at the golden token in the box, then raised his eyes to look at Gu Yanbai, "You...you want to give this to me?"

"Yes, for you... I don't think I've ever given you anything. Nan Xiuye ​​gave you the golden whistle, and this golden token is from me."

"Are you crazy? Give me something this important?"

Gu Yanbai chuckled and nodded again, "Gu Qing, if...if I were alive, whether I were a prince or an emperor, I would not need this token."

"Keep it with you. If you are in Dayan, just keep it as a reminder."

"If you go to Sang Country, this thing can allow you to enter the palace directly, and no one will dare to stop you. You can even... command the army of Sang Country."

"But if I die..."

"Gu Yanbai!" Jiang Qingwu interrupted, but Gu Yanbai smiled and said, "If I die, the future of Sang Country will become uncertain."

"If you hold the token, you will have absolute say. You can prevent Sang and Dayan from falling out, and you can also prevent the two countries from going to war."

"We've been fighting for so long, it's time to stop."

As he spoke, Gu Yanbai suddenly smiled, hiding the solemnity on his face, "Of course, if I were alive, I wouldn't need you and this token."

Jiang Qingwu listened and felt sad. He closed the box gently, feeling that it was heavier than a thousand pounds, and he was vaguely aware of something.

It was like a parting statement. These days, Gu Yanbai had been under house arrest by Yan Xiuchen and had not left the palace.

She thought Gu Yanbai had compromised and agreed to Yan Xiuchen's suggestion, including letting Xiao Liuzi accompany him back to Sang Country and send back the antidote regularly.

But now that he was talking about life and death, she suddenly realized that maybe Gu Yanbai had never given up.

Maybe, after Chongling is relocated, he will leave without saying goodbye, maybe, we will never see each other again.

Jiang Qingwu stared at the box in his hand for a long time in silence, "Gu Yanbai, if one day you are really gone, have you ever thought about what will happen to Yan Xiuchen?"

Gu Yanbai's heart tightened slightly, and he turned to look at Jiang Qingwu, with a bit of confusion and uneasiness in his eyes.

"If you were gone, have you ever thought about how he would live, how he would face himself..."

"You died under his knife in your previous life, and you died for him again in this life. One life for another. Do you really think he wants it? Will he want it?"

Jiang Qingwu sighed softly and tightly grasped the box in his hand, "Also, you promised me that you would not let anything happen to you."
