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

Shen Mengyao looked at him with tears in her eyes. For some reason, she quickly regained her senses at that moment. She gently pushed the man away and leaned forward with her narrow waist.

"No! No, we can't do this."

She pushed him away and stumbled out the door!

Qi Sui'an pulled him back, his deep eyes filled with worry: "Where are you going?"

Shen Mengyao shook her head. She couldn't say a word, but made a slight sound from the tip of her lips and teeth: "I can't, I can't do this!"

The remaining rationality told her that it would be no good to get entangled with Qi Suian for too long, but the burning feeling almost tore her rationality apart!

She just wanted to find a source of water, then jump in and suppress the evil fire and thoughts in her heart.

Qi Sui'an hugged her tightly: "You are in so much pain, don't be stubborn, you will suffocate to death!"

Shen Mengyao struggled in his arms, tears rolling down like beads that had broken off a string. Her heart was full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, the heat and discomfort in her body almost made her lose her mind. On the other hand, she knew very well the boundary between herself and Qi Suian. Once she crossed it, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Let me go, I...I can't do this..." Shen Mengyao's voice was weak but firm. She tried to push Qi Suian away, but her strength seemed to have been drained away and she couldn't move at all.

Qi Sui'an felt her resistance and pain, and was extremely anxious. He understood that Shen Mengyao needed not only physical comfort but also psychological support.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer and more resolute: "Mengyao, listen to me, now is not the time for you to act stubbornly. I know you have your own persistence and principles, but right now, the most important thing is to relieve your pain first."

He gently stroked Shen Mengyao's back, trying to calm her down, and used his other hand to untie her belt!

Shen Mengyao felt it, pushed his hand away, and shook her head vigorously: "No, no, please!"

She raised her eyes, her wet eyes were as lively as a little deer.

He knew that she was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, he hesitated in his heart and stopped moving his hands!

At that moment, seeing how he was tortured by the drugs but still so determined, he really couldn't bring himself to do it, so he quickly walked outside, fetched a bucket of cold water from the well, and wiped her face and neck with a cloth.

As the cool air came over her, Shen Mengyao's complexion improved a lot. She shivered slightly and said, "It was the eldest prince who drugged me. He handed me a glass of wine."

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, you should have a good rest." Qi Sui'an felt the cloth warm up, soaked it in cold water, and then wiped her face and neck.

Shen Mengyao no longer had the strength to say a word. She curled up on the bed, trembling and struggling as she spent the long night.

She insisted on holding on, which almost caused her to be seriously exhausted. The next morning, after the effect of the drug wore off, she was so weak that she almost collapsed.

Qi Sui'an came in with a bowl of thin porridge: "I have announced to the public that you have caught a cold and need to return to the capital."

"Thank you." Shen Mengyao smiled weakly.

She felt as if she had died. Her muscles and bones ached so much that they didn't seem to be her own. Even reaching out her hand to take the porridge was difficult.

She lost her appetite after eating a few bites. Lin Youwei probably heard about what happened last night. When she came in, her face looked unhappy: "Mengyao, the carriage is ready and parked outside the door. I will take you back to Beijing."

"Okay!" Shen Mengyao nodded, propped herself up, and slowly stood up. When she walked to the door, she seemed to think of something and turned back and bowed with difficulty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Not only thank him for saving her last night, but also thank him for not forcing her when she lost her mind...

Qi Sui'an seemed to understand and smiled faintly: "I will send someone to escort the princess, and you can rest assured and take care of her."

After leaving, Lin Youwei said angrily, "This eldest prince is really too much. If this gets to the Queen Mother, I wonder what he has to say."

"Forget it!" Shen Mengyao shook her head and said in a deep voice: "This matter is too disgraceful. It will do me no good to make it public. Let's just let it go."

"You're talking about a girl. If her reputation is damaged, she will surely be abused a thousand times more." Lin Youwei understood in her heart, but she just sighed. When she helped her get into the car, the smile on her face turned into gossip: "I see that you have a good relationship with the Regent, could it be..."

"He knows my brother and they are friends. Before my brother left the capital, he told him that he would take care of me. The prince is just keeping his promise." Shen Mengyao said lightly.

"I don't think it's that simple!" Lin Youwei covered her mouth and smiled.

Shen Mengyao was helpless for a moment and no longer had the energy to argue. She leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

"Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Lin Youwei chuckled and sat beside her.

Everything was peaceful in the palace. Young men and women gathered together. Instead of hunting today, they agreed to go horseback riding for an outing. Qi Sui'an was ordered to protect the safety of the place. Since he had not finished his official duties yet, he naturally could not leave.

He just ordered Bei Lan: "Take all the secret guards with you and make sure to escort her back to the capital safely."

"But what about you?" The secret guard looked worried.

"It's okay!" Qi Sui'an smiled faintly.

Bei Lan didn't dare to say anything else and had to take his men away first.

When Qi Suian was about to go on patrol, he suddenly heard a cough, and it was obvious that the cough was from the Fifth Prince!

Sure enough, he strode in, smiled and said, "How was your night last night? Wasn't it wonderful?"

"Okay, stop it." Qi Sui'an glanced at him helplessly, and after sitting down in the hall, he said, "I have to thank you for what happened last night. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to save her!"

"It's just a piece of cake, not worth mentioning. In fact, I should have saved her, but my health is really not good. Besides, my elder brother is more respected in front of my father, so I dare not go against him too much." The fifth prince smiled bitterly.

Qi Sui'an nodded: "I understand. I'm very grateful that you told me."

The fifth prince sighed softly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He slowly walked to the window and looked at the green scenery outside. "If you hadn't arrived in time for what happened last night, the consequences would have been disastrous. Although I can't come in person, I am also extremely anxious."

Qi Sui'an's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I understand, thank you very much."
