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

"So you're going to the meeting alone? Disregarding your own safety? Shen Mengyao, is it worth it for a dirty thief?"

Having said that, his words were filled with worry and helplessness.

If Bei Lan hadn't discovered that Luo Chuan didn't go to learn martial arts, so he didn't mind the trouble and went to ask, he wouldn't even know that Shen Mengyao came alone to save Xiao Qi.

Fortunately, he arrived in time. He didn't dare to think about the consequences if he was a step later.

Shen Mengyao was a little uneasy just now, but now she was completely determined when she heard him say this: "Xiao Qi has never done anything dirty since she followed me. No one is perfect. It is great to know one's mistakes and improve. What's more, so many things have happened. The only thing I hope for now is that I and my family can be fine, and I can protect the people I want to protect, but the reality is often contrary to one's wishes."

After saying this, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly. Although she was a princess and her father and brother had made great contributions to the founding of our dynasty, there were always people better than you and there were always mountains better than you. In the capital, there were always people more powerful than the powerful.

Qi Sui'an looked into her sincere eyes, and it seemed as if a string in his heart was plucked.

He sighed, and said in a calm tone, "Leave this matter to me."

Shen Mengyao was a little worried: "Your Majesty, please don't offend the Queen and the eldest prince for me."

"rest assured."

Qi Suian just said this lightly.

But for some reason, these two words made Shen Mengyao feel a lot calmer.

"I'll take you home." Qi Suian saw that her clothes were a little inappropriate, so he reached out and took off his robe and put it on his shoulders.

Shen Mengyao didn't dodge and had to accept it happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The clothes still carried the warmth of his body, which was particularly soothing to her heart.

On the way back, Luochuan woke up and kept shouting that he wanted to go find Xiaoqi, and no one could persuade him to stop.

Shen Mengyao walked in and glanced at him. Luo Chuan then stopped and said, "Princess, I..."

"Okay, you should take good care of yourself. The doctor said your injuries are serious. Leave the rest to me."

Shen Mengyao gently patted Luo Chuan's shoulder, her tone full of comfort and tenderness. She knew very well that he had a kind heart and was loyal to his friends. Now that he was anxious about Xiao Qi's matter, it was clear how much he cared about it.

"Princess, I'm really useless. I can't even protect Xiaoqi..." Luo Chuan's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little choked.

Shen Mengyao was afraid that he would be too emotional and his injuries would be affected, so she just kept comforting him: "Xiao Qi will definitely return safely."

Luo Chuan nodded heavily, and suddenly started coughing violently, covering his chest.

He vomited a mouthful of blood, and seemed to have lost all his strength, falling heavily on the bed. Shen Mengyao was startled and immediately shouted, "Come quickly, call the doctor."

Luochuan's injuries were very serious, and it was a miracle that he could wake up. Perhaps because he was really worried about Xiaoqi, the doctor was also somewhat helpless.

Shen Mengyao bit her lip and looked at Cuiwei: "Go and ask the imperial physician to come."

Cuiwei was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately: "Princess, if you ask the imperial physician in the palace to treat Luochuan, it will definitely be a topic of gossip if it gets out. People will say that you are arrogant because of your favor and humiliating the imperial physician."

After all, the imperial physician serves the royal family above and the ministers below.

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and said, "Just tell them that my period is irregular and ask the imperial physician to treat me. When the time comes, ask him to check on Luochuan as well."

Cuiwei nodded. This was a good idea, and it would be acceptable for her eyesight.

The imperial physician was invited in soon. He felt Shen Mengyao's pulse and found nothing serious. Thinking that she wanted some beauty prescriptions, he prescribed some.

After finishing writing the prescription, Shen Mengyao said with embarrassment: "I have a patient with a difficult and complicated disease. I think that Mr. Zhang is a great doctor. I wonder if you can take a look?"

Zhang Lao stroked his beard and said, "It's up to the princess to order."

Shen Mengyao immediately took Zhang Lao to the side room. After seeing Luo Chuan lying on the bed, Zhang Lao stroked his beard and said, "Your Qi and blood are both deficient, your internal breath is disordered, and your life is in danger at any time."

"Can he still be saved?" Shen Mengyao asked anxiously.

"There's only a 30% chance of success. The rest depends on the patient himself." Elder Zhang said seriously, "I haven't seen someone with such serious injuries in a long time."

Shen Mengyao was slightly dazed and smiled bitterly: "Then just do your best."

At this moment, Cuiwei hurried in from outside, her voice full of joy: "The people from the palace are back with Xiaoqi!"

"What?" Shen Mengyao was delighted and rushed out quickly.

Bei Lan carried Xiao Qi into the yard and asked, "Where should we put him? He is seriously injured."

"Let's put it in Luochuan's room. There happens to be an imperial physician there, so let him check on Xiaoqi." Shen Mengyao led the way.

After putting him on the bed, Shen Mengyao could see clearly that on Xiaoqi's exposed skin, there were whip marks and knife marks arranged in vertical rows, which were extremely serious.

The imperial physician hurried over to take the patient's pulse and treat him.

Her voice was choked with sobs: "Bei Lan, thank the prince for me. The prince must owe *** a big favor for helping me rescue Xiao Qi."

Bei Lan smiled and waved.

"Don't worry, Princess. It's not true. A notorious thief appeared in the capital city. He specialized in stealing treasures. The prince found out that someone saw him and Xiao Qi together in Xinxia Town. He used this as an excuse to bring Xiao Qi back with the Jingji Guards, saying that he was cooperating with the investigation. But don't worry, the prince will take care of the follow-up matters. It won't be a big deal."

Shen Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief, but she still owed Qi Sui'an a big favor, so she said, "I'm busy with many things right now and can't thank the prince. I will definitely come to thank you when I have time in the future."

"It is good that the princess has this intention. In this case, I will take my leave first."

Bei Lan clasped his fists, bowed, and turned to leave.

The imperial physician sighed and said in a deep voice: "This girl's injuries are much lighter than this young man's. She is very lucky that her lungs were not injured."

Cuiwei had just brought in some medicine and was surprised to hear this: "Miss... Miss, he is a man?"

The imperial physician seemed displeased by her suspicion: "I don't know if other doctors can tell the gender of a baby by taking the pulse, but the imperial physician will definitely do it."

Shen Mengyao was in a state of confusion, but this was not the time to care about this, so she said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your help."

"I'll prescribe a wound powder for this girl. Apply it to stop the bleeding first, and then give her medicine after she wakes up."

As Mr. Zhang spoke, he wrote out a prescription.

After Cuiwei got the medicine, she hurried over to apply it on her. After lifting her clothes, she found out that she was really a woman. She usually looked dark and thin, and it was really hard to tell.

It seemed that the medicine was causing her some pain. Xiao Qi shook her head and murmured, "No, it has nothing to do with the princess. She didn't instruct me to do it!"
