Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

There was something meaningful in her bright smile.

Everyone was stunned. This was a tough job. If *** lost, he would definitely not give up easily. But if Shen Mengyao lost, everyone with eyes would know that the people in our dynasty who could play the piano were just so-so.

There is a science behind winning and losing!

The two had already sat down and started competing, but no one was interested in listening. They were all discussing how to vote. Suddenly, someone had an idea: "Why not vote for a tie? This way, we can save face."

"makes sense."

Everyone planned their votes, and as soon as the two finished playing the piano, they couldn't wait to step forward to vote.

Because there was no paper and pen here, two kinds of leaves were used to represent the votes of the two people. One was a maple leaf and the other was an elm leaf. The difference was obvious and would not be confused!

*** asked Lu Rui to count the votes. Lin Youwei could actually see that *** was targeting Shen Mengyao, and was afraid of encountering some injustice, so she volunteered.

"I come!"

Most people don't want to see any conflict, fearing that they will be the ones who suffer, so the votes are tied in the end.

***'s face changed, and he looked at everyone with a cold gaze: "Really? Did you make a mistake?"

Because Lin Youwei was watching her, Lu Rui didn't dare to lie: "Fuck, it's indeed even."

"Wait, I haven't voted yet." The eldest prince stood up and glanced at the two of them: "It is said that the princess's piano skills are very good. The princess has a slender figure, I wonder how her dancing skills are? So I vote for ***."

"Thank you, brother." *** smiled happily.

Qi Sui'an frowned and wanted to side with Shen Mengyao, but he hesitated as it would be too conspicuous.

While he was hesitating, the fifth prince suddenly stood up, and said with a calm tone and a chuckle, "Then I will vote for the princess. The princess's love song is really intoxicating."

*** swept his sharp gaze over, and although the Fifth Prince's expression changed, he remained unmoved.

A draw is the best result, but *** is not satisfied. He looks at Qi Sui'an with deep eyes and says, "Brother Sui'an, what about you? You haven't given a score yet."

Qi Sui'an's eyes lit up: "The music of both of you makes me intoxicated. It's hard to choose. Why don't we vote for each of you and make it a tie."

*** was dissatisfied: "How can there be two votes?"

"Then I will give up. The result will be the same." Qi Sui'an said calmly.

***'s face changed, and just as he was about to speak, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the dark woods: "Wolf, there's a wolf!"

Shen Mengyao was not panicked at first, but felt strange. It was summer and the grass was lush and there were many animals. How could a wolf come to such a crowded place?

But others had no time to think about it and had already started to disperse in a noisy manner, fearing that they would be attacked by wild wolves if they were a step late.

Lin Youwei also pulled her onto the horse: "Come on, let's go back quickly. This is a good opportunity to pee."

Shen Mengyao nodded and rode away with her.

Lin Youwei stayed with her in the room for a while, and then the news came back.

It turned out to be a false alarm. A young man from a noble family knew there was going to be a hunt, so he brought a hunting dog. When he was walking in the woods, he was seen by others and mistaken for a wolf, so the shouting sound startled everyone and caused panic.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Lin Youwei breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that everything is fine. I'll go back to my room first!"

"Okay." After Shen Mengyao sent her out, she suddenly felt very hot all over. Opening the window didn't help, so she wanted to go out for a walk.

It is called a temporary palace, but in fact it is just a villa. It is not very big and the emperor almost never comes here, so it can be used by them.

The cool breeze made me feel better.

After walking around for a while and preparing to go back, I suddenly heard a scolding from the rockery: "You must recognize your identity and don't try to go against me."

"Brother, I don't mean anything else, it's just..."

The Fifth Prince couldn't even finish his words when he started coughing violently. He was truly a sickly person!

The eldest prince refused to give in. He sneered and said, "I'm telling you, don't mess with me, or you know the consequences."

When Shen Mengyao heard this, she knew that the Fifth Prince was targeted by the First Prince because he voted for her. She pondered for a moment and walked out quickly.

"First Prince, it is not appropriate to argue with the Fifth Prince here late at night, right?" Shen Mengyao's voice was clear and calm, interrupting their conversation at the right time.

The eldest prince turned around upon hearing the voice, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to his normal expression, with a sneer on his lips: "It turned out to be Princess Shen, you are still awake late at night, you seem to be in a good mood."

Shen Mengyao smiled calmly, her eyes swept over the pale, coughing Fifth Prince, and an inexplicable sympathy and worry surged in her heart. "The First Prince and the Fifth Prince are brothers, why should they hurt their relationship over such a small matter?" She spoke in a calm tone, but with a hint of sharpness.

The eldest prince raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing a hint of amusement: "My princess is right, but there are some misunderstandings between me and my fifth brother that need to be resolved, so please don't worry about it."

Shen Mengyao sighed softly, walked forward slowly, and looked at the eldest prince firmly: "Eldest Prince, the fifth prince is weak, I hope you can show mercy and let him go this time. As for today's incident, no matter what the result is, it is just a talent competition. Why hurt the brotherhood for this?"

The eldest prince's eyes darkened slightly. He obviously didn't expect Shen Mengyao to intervene in their affairs so directly. He was silent for a moment and said coldly: "Since the princess pleads for you, I won't pursue you. Get out of here now."

The fifth prince covered his chest and coughed heavily a few times, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. He nodded and was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll take the princess back first."

The eldest prince narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly and said, "You are so sick that you seem to be dying at any time, and you are still thinking about beauty? The princess is here with me, why don't you get out of here quickly."

"I……"

The Fifth Prince was obviously worried, and when he was about to say a few more words, Wooden Falcon appeared like a ghost.

"Fifth Prince, please!"

Under such coercion, even if the Fifth Prince was worried, he could only leave slowly, looking back every few steps.

Shen Mengyao thought that her room was just around the corridor, so she didn't think much about it and bowed, "Your Highness, I'll take my leave first."

As soon as she turned her head, she felt hot and dizzy.

Just as she took half a step, the eldest prince stopped her and said, "You look so uncomfortable. I will take you back."

She shook her head, and before she could say a word, she felt dizzy and almost collapsed to the side!
