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

Luo Chuan nodded, and took the order and left while the night was dark.

Shen Mengyao felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, as if she was being thorned in the side. She couldn't sleep at all despite the darkness of the night. She paced back and forth in the room. The less news she got, the more worried she became that something might go wrong.

Just when he was having trouble sleeping and eating, Cuiwei hurried in, with a terrified expression on her face, and said breathlessly: "Princess, Luochuan was thrown at the door of our Princess's Mansion, dying. I have sent someone to send him back to his room, and then went to find a doctor."

"What?" Shen Mengyao's face changed, and the string in his heart seemed to be broken. He hurried out, but because he walked too fast, he sprained his ankle. He could only endure the pain and limped to the back room.

Luo Chuan was seriously injured and dying. He lay on the sickbed with his eyes closed, breathing out more than he breathed in.

Just then the doctor walked in with a staggering step. She immediately made way for him and said earnestly, "Doctor, you must find a way to save him."

The gray-haired doctor looked very calm. He nodded slightly, sat beside the bed, closed his eyes, and concentrated on taking the patient's pulse.

But the more he took Luo Chuan's pulse, the deeper his brows furrowed. After a long time, he let go of Luo Chuan's arm and sighed leisurely.

Shen Mengyao's heart sank to the bottom of the valley as the doctor sighed. She clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She only felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her heart: "Doctor, he...how is he?"

Her voice trembled slightly, with anxiety and fear that were difficult to conceal.

The doctor slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of solemnity: "This young man is seriously injured, his internal energy is disordered, and he has obviously suffered an extremely fierce attack. What's more troublesome is that his internal energy is disordered, and it is obvious that he was injured by a master. If he is not adjusted in time, his life will definitely be in danger."

Shen Mengyao felt dizzy and almost lost her balance when she heard this: "No matter what, you must save him."

The doctor stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, this is my job. I will definitely do my best. However, this medicine is easy to prescribe. We still need to find someone with strong internal energy to help him regulate his internal energy. Otherwise, no matter how much medicine you give, it will be in vain."

"Thank you!" Shen Mengyao nodded slightly.

The doctor quickly went downstairs to write a prescription. Cuiwei helped take care of Luochuan. When she was about to check if he had any wounds and apply some external medicine on him, she suddenly saw a letter on his chest, just under his clothes!

"My Lord, please look."

Shen Mengyao turned around and immediately opened the letter!

"Your people are in my hands. If you don't want anything to happen to them, come to Yinghong Tower tomorrow!"

It was just a simple line of words, with no signature or part number. The other party was obviously very smart and didn't want to get into any trouble because of this?

Cuiwei also saw the words above, and her face suddenly turned cold: "Princess, this must be a trap. Yinghonglou is not a good place. Even if you are eager to save people, you must not go to such a place!"

There was no time to care about so many things now. Shen Mengyao's fingers were tightly holding the envelope, and their fingers turned slightly white due to the force.

Shen Mengyao felt as if her heart was being pressed down by a huge rock, and her breathing became heavy.

She knew very well that the threat in the letter was not groundless, but she also understood that she could not just watch Xiaoqi and Luochuan fall into despair. Yinghonglou had now become a place she had to step into.

"Cuiwei, go and invite Qi Suian immediately and make sure he sees the letter tonight. At the same time, arrange for people to secretly monitor Yinghong Tower and report any signs of trouble immediately." Although Shen Mengyao's voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable determination.

Cuiwei heard this, although she was reluctant, she knew the situation was urgent and did not dare to be negligent. She quickly responded, turned around and left in a hurry.

Shen Mengyao sat alone beside Luochuan's bed, staring at his pale and bloodless face, feeling mixed emotions.

No matter what, since they are already hers, she will definitely protect both of them.

At night, with candlelight shining, when other places in the capital gradually became deserted, only Yinghong Tower was bustling with red candles hung high, and on the high platform, dancers in red danced to the beat of drums, casting seductive glances from time to time, captivating the heart.

She gritted her teeth and walked in quickly. Seeing the maid beside the aunt, she asked in a deep voice, "Is the aunt here? Just say that Princess Shen Mengyao of the Duke's Mansion wants to see you."

When Lu Rui saw her, she also looked superior, with her chin almost raised to the sky. She sneered and said, "So it's the princess. Please come with me to change clothes."

Shen Mengyao's face changed: "I came to see you to discuss something important, why do I need to change clothes?"

Lu Rui did not explain, but said arrogantly: "If the princess is unwilling, then you may not be able to meet the second one. As for the matter you are anxious about, it is not urgent. You can think about it slowly."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Shen Mengyao knew that she had already lost completely because she came here out of worry. All her thoughts had been controlled by them.

There is no longer any chance of winning in her game.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Lu Rui smiled with satisfaction and took her to the next room. On the hanger inside was a moon-white dress decorated with red silk flowers. The material was thin and light, and before she put it on, she could feel the sleeves were faintly visible. Only the embroidered red silk flowers could cover her skin.

Shen Mengyao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She knew that every step at this moment had to be taken with caution. If she made the slightest mistake, not only would she fail to save Luochuan and Xiaoqi, but she might also be implicated.

She slowly walked towards the dress, her fingertips lightly brushing over the delicate fabric, secretly thinking about her next strategy.

Even though she was wearing those slightly frivolous clothes, Shen Mengyao's heart was extremely determined.

When she walked out of the room, Lu Rui was already waiting outside the door, with a barely perceptible smug look on her face. Shen Mengyao ignored her expression and simply asked, "Can you take me to see *** now?"

Lu Rui chuckled and led Shen Mengyao through the winding corridors. Along the way, all they saw were women hooking their arms around their patrons' necks, chuckling and speaking in provocative ways. The explicit words made passers-by blush and their heartbeats beat faster.

But Lu Rui walked very slowly, as if she wanted her to look carefully at the surrounding scene. Shen Mengyao took a deep breath. The more she was at this time, the more she couldn't panic. She walked over calmly and peacefully.

In the private room, the wine was flowing. The queen asked the maid to fill the eldest prince's glass: "Brother, I see that you are not interested in the music of the strings and strings in Yinghonglou. Why don't you let me guess what you are thinking about now?"
