Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Watching Gu Yanbai struggling in the water, Jiang Qingwu stood on the stone platform by the lake and watched quietly.

What exactly went wrong?

Why didn’t she remember such a person in her previous life?

Where on earth did this Jiang wine come from?

"Jiang Qingwu...you are such a heartless person. I have saved you time and time again, but you actually..."

Gu Yanbai was shouting in the water, but suddenly the shouting stopped and he sank.

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly, and his heart couldn't help but tighten as he looked at the lake lanterns on the lake that were flapping in disarray due to him.

"Don't play dumb. The lake is only five feet deep. You won't be drowned."

As Jiang Qingwu was shouting, Wanyue ran over from afar. Seeing Gu Yanbai gradually disappearing on the water, she pulled Jiang Qingwu in panic.

"He, he really seems to be dying."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Wanyue, then he panicked and flew away.

He grabbed Gu Yanbai from the water, stepped over the railing of the bridge over the lake, and pulled him up.

"Cough cough cough..."

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Gu Yanbai covered his shoulders and coughed violently...

Jiang Qingwu glanced at Gu Yanbai with disgust and was about to say something when he noticed that his white clothes were stained with blood.

The place where he covered his hand seemed to be injured.

"You...what happened to you? Are you hurt?"

"No...no problem!" Gu Yanbai staggered to his feet and looked at Jiang Qingwu with a serious face.

"I came here today just to tell you to be careful of Yan Xiuchen."

"Yan Lin is not a good man, and Yan Xiuchen... may not be one either."

Gu Yanbai said this seriously and prepared to leave.

But he staggered and almost fell after taking only two steps.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu hurried forward to support him, "Wanyue, go call the doctor..."

"No need. It's not appropriate for me to break into Wutong Garden at night."

"If I stay any longer, it will damage your reputation. I can't stay here."

Jiang Qingwu sighed and motioned to Wanyue, "Prepare the carriage and go to the back door."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu pulled Gu Yanbai's arm and placed it on his shoulder, "Where do you live? I'll take you back!"

"However, you'd better stop exaggerating. I know what's going on between Yan Xiuchen and I. "

Gu Yanbai glanced at Jiang Qingwu and sneered, "You don't know how to appreciate kindness."

……

It was three quarters past midnight, not too late, and the upper city streets were bustling with activity.

Jiang Qingwu looked out of the carriage window and saw noisy sounds everywhere.

"Like lanterns? Why not go to the Lantern Festival, the lanterns are more beautiful."

Hearing Gu Yanbai's voice, Jiang Qingwu immediately withdrew his gaze.

"I am here today because you are injured, just like I said last time."

"From now on, I have to deal with the palace and the wedding ceremony, so I don't need to meet you anymore."

"It also saves you from having to come and rescue me all the time."

Gu Yanbai was startled at first, then realized something and smiled softly, "I...that's exactly what I thought at the time."

"However, after I went back, I was always thinking about you, worried that you were deceived by Yan Xiuchen, so..."

Jiang Qingwu frowned and stared at Gu Yanbai coldly, "Don't bother with it."

"I know better than you how he treated me and how he will treat me."

"Even if what you said is true, and he really accepted the beautiful concubine given by the Queen Mother, I still believe that he is not Yan Lin's kind."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu's eyes full of confidence, Gu Yanbai shrank back, squinted his eyes and looked at her seriously.

"Are you so sure he won't change his mind?"

"I tell you, once a man gets something, he won't cherish it."

"Even if he really loved you in the past, how do you know he can remain faithful forever?"

"Besides, I'm not afraid to tell you...he married you for a purpose."

Jiang Qingwu was getting impatient and was about to explode when Wanyue's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Miss, Mr. Jiang, we are at Furong Lane now, which way should we go?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu immediately got off the car and said, "Since we're already at Furong Lane, it must not be far from where you live."

"I'll take you here."

Gu Yanbai looked at Jiang Qingwu getting off the car, secretly curled up his smile, and followed him out silently.

"You just left me here. This alley is dark and far from where I live. You don't..."

As Gu Yanbai was speaking, he saw seven or eight men in black approaching from outside the alley on the long street.

"You guys hurry up and leave..." Gu Yanbai suddenly shouted and pushed Jiang Qingwu hard.

When Jiang Qingwu came to his senses, the man in black had already chased after Gu Yanbai in the alley.

There were seven or eight men in black, neatly dressed, well-trained, each holding a knife in his hand.

Soon they surrounded Gu Yanbai.

"Someone wants to kill him!" As soon as Wan Yue finished speaking, Jiang Qingwu rushed over.

When several men in black saw Jiang Qingwu getting involved, they immediately avoided her.

"Don't hurt Miss Jiang..." the leader shouted to the others in panic.

Jiang Qingwu's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned when he looked at the other person.

But the situation was urgent at the time and I couldn't take care of anything else.

Seeing that the injured Gu Yanbai was no match for his opponent, Jiang Qingwu jumped lightly and kicked down the two people in front of Gu Yanbai.

He landed steadily and stood in front of him.

"No matter who you are, go back and tell your master."

"You can't kill him today while I'm here."

The other side looked at each other, and then withdrew one after another.

When Jiang Qingwu turned around and looked at Gu Yanbai, Gu Yanbai fell to the ground with a thud.

"Jiang wine..."

There was no way out. Gu Yanbai fell to the ground seriously injured, and she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

When Jiang Qingwu and Wanyue sent Gu Yanbai back to the mansion, she found out that Gu Yanbai lived in the Gu Mansion deep in the alley.

"Master, how are you injured so badly? Go get a doctor..."

Gu Yanbai's confidant Gu Ming was busying around the bed with a nervous look on his face.

Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but look around.

In the past, she had always wanted to know the identity of this 'Jiang Jiu', and now she finally knew where he lived.

"Miss Jiang, please help Miss Jiang to bring my son back."

After settling Gu Yanbai, Gu Ming turned around and walked towards Jiang Qingwu, bowing respectfully.

"It doesn't matter. Are you his butler?"

"I am the follower of the young master, Gu Ming."

"Gu Ming? You are in the Gu Mansion, then he..."

Gu Ming was a little stunned, and said at a loss, "Let the young master speak for himself."

"Gu Ming... I'm fine, you go down first." Gu Yanbai, who was standing beside the bed in the distance, suddenly shouted and leaned against the head of the bed with difficulty.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu walked towards him and said, "It seems that you should say something to me."

Gu Yanbai changed his clothes, covered his shoulders, and his face looked pale and ugly, but a light laugh was still heard from him.

"You told me not to say anything, and even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

"Whether you say it or not is one thing, but whether you believe it or not is up to me." Jiang Qingwu said, sitting down at the table nearby.

Gu Yanbai raised the corner of his lips slightly, nodded and said, "Then I will say..."

"Actually, my name is Gu Yanbai."

"I have known Yan Xiuchen for many years. In the early years, he took some things that belonged to me for the sake of royal status."

“I just want to come back now.”

"That's why I agreed to do something for him."

"It was indeed his idea to track, monitor and protect you before."

"The day Shen Wanrong died, I thought it was done, so I went to the palace to ask him to fulfill his promise."

"But I didn't expect that he would not only refuse to give it to me but also want to kill me."

"I was injured, but I was lucky to escape."

"I was originally planning to leave the capital, but when I thought about some of the things I heard before, I felt that I would be unfair to you if I didn't tell you."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Gu Yanbai with doubt, and said thoughtfully, "You said that he is not worthy of my trust?"

Gu Yanbai sighed heavily, sat up straighter, and said with certainty, "I heard it with my own ears."

"He said that for the sake of the throne, don't tell him to marry an abandoned woman like you."

"Even if he wants to marry a prostitute, he's willing to do that."
