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

Shen Mengyao looked at him with deep worry.

She was really worried, but she also understood that she had been lingering in the Regent's Palace for too long. If she continued to stay there, sooner or later someone would find out, and by then, she would probably not be able to explain herself clearly.

No matter how reluctant she was, at this moment, she had no choice but to leave.

When she was leaving, she happened to run into Queyue. After thinking for a moment, she still worriedly held onto him and said, "Queyue, I have to go back to the Princess's Mansion. You take good care of the prince and keep an eye on him. Take the medicine as the doctor ordered. If the prince doesn't take care of himself, you have to keep an eye on him, too."

Queyue lowered her eyes: "How dare I stare at the prince?"

Shen Mengyao looked into her clear eyes and made a joke: "When I first met you, you were so impetuous and looked at everyone the same. How come you seem to have been smoothed out now?"

"Oh, I don't. The princess is one of our own, so there's no need for me to look at her in a harsh manner. If the princess really cares about the prince, then just stay here and take good care of him. I think the prince will only listen to you." Queyue advised.

Shen Mengyao also wanted to do so. However, Qi Sui'an had been lying on his sickbed and had not appeared in the public eye for several days. In the coming days, the Regent's Palace would definitely be noticed by all parties.

The two of them, one is a widow living in seclusion, the other is a powerful official. They seem to have nothing in common, but in fact, they have conflicts of interest behind the scenes.

Shen Mengyao's father and brother are both stationed at the border and hold great power, while Qi Suian is in the capital and can be said to have great influence. If others knew that they have a close relationship and frequent contacts, they would definitely make a big fuss about it.

Shen Mengyao thought about all of this very clearly, so at this time, she had to be more sober and not just act according to her own preferences. She calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to keep an eye on the prince. If the prince doesn't follow the doctor's advice, you can send someone to the Princess's Mansion to inform me."

"Is that so?" Although Queyue was a little disappointed, she didn't force it, so she nodded and promised her: "Princess, don't worry."

Shen Mengyao did not stay long and returned to the Princess's Mansion. When Luo Chuan heard that she was coming back, he went to meet her outside the mansion. He hurriedly came up to her and greeted her with a smile.

"My Lord, you seem to be feeling better."

Shen Mengyao sighed. Not being by Qi Sui'an's side always made her feel uneasy. She shook her head and sighed softly, "It's nothing. I just need to take good care of myself for a few days. How is Shuiyunjian doing recently? How is the teahouse?"

"Everything is going well." Luo Chuan replied, "Are you going to Shuiyunjian now?"

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it, let's take a rest first."

At night, Cuiwei brought a basin of hot water for her to soak her feet, and then she massaged her shoulders with concern: "The princess has been working so hard for the prince's affairs, and has not taken care of her own body at all. Does the princess like the prince?"

"Nonsense." Shen Mengyao denied it vehemently.

Cuiwei was stunned for a moment, then said: "But Princess, you care too much about the prince."

Shen Mengyao was silent for a moment, then said: "The prince hurt me because he saved me, and it is normal for me to worry about the prince. It's all over."

Cuiwei curled her lips, obviously not believing it: "Princess, he is the regent king, second only to the emperor, and even though he is a king of a different surname, all the princes and princesses are respectful to him. Moreover, I heard that someone accidentally offended the prince, and that night he was dug out his eyes, cut off his ears, and thrown on the street. From then on, he became a deaf and blind person, pitiful."

Shen Mengyao laughed after hearing this: "Where did you hear these nonsense?"

"You can find out if you ask around." Cuiwei looked mysterious and said quietly with her head down, "I also heard that anyone who disagrees with him in the court will be exiled to a remote place at best, or lose his life at worst. He wants to establish his authority in front of those people and tell them not to go against him."

Shen Mengyao had actually heard some rumors, but these memories were very distant, as if in her previous life, Qi Suian was in the court, eliminating dissidents, setting up factions, and causing constant internal friction.

But after getting to know him in detail, she felt that he was not like the rumors at all. Shen Mengyao stroked her drooping black hair and thought slowly. After a long time, she smiled faintly: "I only believe what I see in front of me. As for the identity of the prince, I am naturally clear. From now on, we will just cooperate."

Cuiwei massaged her legs and looked at her carefully: "I am just worried that the princess will get hurt again. What's more, that person is so powerful that the princess won't be able to cry if she is wronged."

"I won't let myself fall into this passive situation again." Shen Mengyao pinched her cheeks: "You are a little girl who doesn't talk usually, but it turns out that you have so many things in your heart."

"As long as the princess doesn't mind my talkativeness." Cuiwei chuckled as her lips were pinched.

Shen Mengyao sighed and shook her head, "Silly girl."

It was late at night and it was extremely quiet. The moon was above the willows. Oh, the sky was filled with silver light.

The door slammed.

Shen Mengyao tried hard to open her eyes, but before she could see who it was, the person grabbed her hand and said in a panic, "It's not good, it's not good, the prince's condition has worsened, and the situation is critical."

"What?" Shen Mengyao rubbed her eyes, as if everything became blurry. There was only the rustling sound of the wind outside and the sound of her own heart beating violently.

She staggered to her feet, put on her shoes, and ran out riding a horse. In the dark night, the houses were invisible, and the stars above her head were much dimmer, as if everything was moving in a bad direction.

She hurried to the Regent's Palace, but saw Bei Lan and Que Yue standing in front of the door, quietly wiping their tears.

"What happened? What happened?"

The two men looked at her who was almost crazy and could not say a word, but her tearful eyes explained everything.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

She yelled and rushed in.

In the bedroom, Qi Sui'an lay quietly on the bed, his eyes tightly closed, his chest calm, he lay there quietly, not looking like he was dead, but rather asleep.

Shen Mengyao stumbled over, lay down in front of the bed, and wanted to reach out and touch his cheek, but she was trembling all the time.

She held his hand, and it was icy cold to the touch, not the temperature of a living person. She screamed, and finally couldn't help but broke down and cried: "Prince, please don't leave me, Qi Sui'an, please don't leave me, okay."
