The eldest prince quickly caught her, a smile on his face, a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Although you appear to be keeping your distance from me, I'm afraid you're eager to throw yourself into my arms."

Hearing his blunt words, a trace of displeasure flashed across Shen Mengyao's face. She pushed him away and tried to stagger away, but a feeling of dizziness came over her and she could hardly stand. An indescribable heat eroded her sanity.

The eldest prince held her wrist tightly, and the smile on his face became more and more proud: "Now that it has come to this, don't struggle in vain. Struggling is useless."

He easily picked up Shen Mengyao, and the smile on his face deepened: "If you don't mind taking your relationship with this prince to a new level, this prince is also happy to accept it. Don't worry, I will give you a status and make you my concubine, and I will never let you suffer any grievances."

"no, do not want!"

Shen Mengyao refused firmly, but her voice was so weak that it almost sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

Her sanity was gradually fading away, her body was limp, as if she had lost all her strength, her heart was filled with despair, and she didn't even have the strength to call for help.

The eldest prince carried her into her room, gently placed her on the bed, and said in a low and charming voice: "Don't worry, this prince will take good care of you."

Shen Mengyao's consciousness seemed to be shrouded in thick fog, appearing and disappearing from time to time. She tried hard to break free from this bondage, but found herself as if in endless darkness, and everything around her became blurry and distant.

The eldest prince's voice echoed in her ears, with unquestionable strength. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting her already shaky defense.

"You...you can't do this..." Shen Mengyao used all her strength to barely squeeze out these few words. Her voice was as thin as a thread, but it revealed the resistance and unwillingness in her heart.

She closed her eyes tightly, trying to escape the impending fate in this way, but the heat and powerlessness in her body surged like a tide, wrapping her tightly.

Seeing this, the eldest prince smiled meaningfully. He slowly leaned over, approached Shen Mengyao's ear, and whispered softly: "Mengyao, why do you resist so much? There is a destiny between you and me. What happened today is just following the will of heaven. Don't worry, when I ascend to the throne, you will be one of the most noble women in the harem."

However, to Shen Mengyao, these promises were meaningless. What she pursued was never wealth and glory, nor was it to rely on anyone's wings.

What she longed for was freedom, dignity, and the power to control her own destiny. But at this moment, all of this seemed to be getting further and further away from her.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room. The door was suddenly kicked open, and a figure rushed in and directly kicked away the eldest prince who was lying on Shen Mengyao!

When Qi Sui'an saw that Shen Mengyao's clothes were still intact, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Instead, the eldest prince glared at him with gritted teeth: "Qi Sui'an! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the regent."

"It is you who can do whatever you want now. The princess is of such a high status, yet you dare to force her." Qi Suian's voice was so cold that he seemed ready to kill someone at any time.

Qi Suian's eyes were like icy blades, piercing the eldest prince's heart. Every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying unquestionable majesty and anger.

He walked slowly forward, gently lifted Shen Mengyao up, let her lean on his solid chest, and gave her some comfort with his warmth and strength.

"Crown Prince, do you know that what you have done has violated the law of the country and is contrary to human ethics? The princess is a royal noble, how can you allow her innocence to be tarnished? If what happened today gets out, where will your face be and where will the dignity of the royal family be?" Qi Sui'an's voice was not loud, but every word was like a hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.

The eldest prince's face was livid, and he glared at Qi Suian, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit of fear in his heart. Although he was a prince, he had to bow his head in front of the powerful regent.

What's more, he knew he was in the wrong, and if the matter got out of hand, he would probably not be able to get away with it.

"Prince Regent, are you going to openly become my enemy?" The eldest prince pretended to be calm and tried to use his status to intimidate others.

Qi Sui'an sneered, his eyes were like torches: "When I act, I only care about right and wrong, not identity. If the eldest prince thinks he is not wrong, you can follow me to see the emperor and let his majesty make the decision."

"You!" The eldest prince was speechless for a moment, glaring at him with gritted teeth: "Well, well, well! Do you think you can rest easy just by moving the emperor out? Just wait, I will not let you go."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left coldly.

His compromising attitude clearly showed that he was afraid and worried that the matter would become a big deal.

Qi Suian was too lazy to care about him at this moment. It would be shameful to make this matter public, and Shen Mengyao would definitely be the one who would suffer the most. If it could be resolved peacefully, he was unwilling to bring the matter to the emperor!

He just helped Shen Mengyao up, with a hint of urgency in his voice: "How do you feel?"

"Let me go, let me go!" Shen Mengyao was almost unable to bear the torture and pushed him hard: "Stay away from me, don't come over."

The crying tone in her voice was heartbreaking. Qi Sui'an hugged her slender waist and held her in his arms: "It's me, Qi Sui'an!"

His voice was unusually gentle and calm!

Shen Mengyao gradually regained her sanity, raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "It's you, I...what's wrong with me?"

Qi Sui'an's eyes slightly avoided: "It's probably spring medicine!"

Shen Mengyao swallowed painfully: "How is it possible..."

Her voice was full of disbelief. She tried hard to recall everything that had happened before, but her memory was shrouded in fog. She could only vaguely remember the eldest prince's disgusting words and his malicious eyes.

Her body still felt hot and uncomfortable, as if millions of ants were crawling on her skin, making her tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Qi Sui'an's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache. He gently stroked Shen Mengyao's back, trying to calm her down: "Don't be afraid, I will find a way. You rest here first, I will find something to help you relieve it."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Shen Mengyao grabbed his sleeve and said, "Don't go, I'm scared..." Her voice was full of helplessness and fear, a vulnerability she had never experienced before.

Qi Sui'an turned around and looked into Shen Mengyao's tearful eyes, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.

He gently held her hand, his eyes tinged with heat: "Don't be afraid, I will help you, I will help you relieve..."
