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

Qi Sui'an's eyes were fixed on her, and he was reluctant to let go after a long while.

"Go."

Getting rid of the awkward atmosphere, the cool night breeze outside blowing on my face made me feel much more sober.

Queyue hadn't come yet, probably because it wasn't over yet, so she went to the carriage outside the mansion to take a rest.

The wind blew at night, making the windows creak.

"Queyue wants to see the prince."

Hearing the voice of the transmission outside, Qi Sui'an opened his eyes with an indifferent expression.

"Come in."

Queyue pushed the door open and walked in. After greeting him, she asked, "How is the prince?"

"It's okay." Qi Sui Anan waved his hand lightly.

Queyue thought deeply for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, there is something I want to say. I don't know if I should say it."

Qi Sui'an closed the book in his hand, frowned and said, "Just say it if you have something to say."

Queyue cleared her throat and said, "The identity of Luochuan in the Princess's residence is unknown, and he seems to like the Princess, and the Princess also has close contact with him."

Qi Sui'an's hand paused for a moment, and after a long while he slowly said, "What do you mean by saying this to me?"

Queyue took a deep breath.

"I am just afraid that if Luo Chuan stays in the Princess's Mansion, it will bring endless troubles, and..."

Qi Suian raised his dark eyes.

"And what?"

Queyue said hesitantly: "The prince likes the princess, but as the saying goes, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first."

When Qi Sui'an raised his eyes, he began to wonder about this in his heart.

He thought for a moment before saying, "I will send someone to verify his identity first."

"Yes." Queyue nodded and walked out quickly.

Hearing the footsteps, Shen Mengyao knew it was her who came back, and she lifted the car curtain to let her in.

As soon as Queyue got on the carriage, she felt a little guilty. The princess was so nice and didn't put on airs like a noble, but she was still...

But on second thought, wasn't I doing this for both of them? If the two of them could be together, they would definitely be happy.

Thinking of this, the guilt in my heart immediately disappeared.

Early the next morning, Shen Mengyao was awakened by a sudden visitor.

Cuiwei came in beaming with joy: "Princess, your father and brother have sent people from the border."

"Oh, really?" Shen Mengyao was delighted. She immediately got up, put on her makeup, and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

The person who came was a dark-faced man who had not even had time to change out of his military uniform. Judging from his clothes, he should be a junior officer.

"I thought my father and brothers were in the bitter and cold border area and had forgotten about their daughter." Shen Mengyao was also very excited.

The last time I saw my brother was five or six months ago.

She has been looking forward to her father and brother coming back soon so that the family can be reunited.

"What are you saying, Princess?" The man smiled innocently and clapped his hands.

Soon, a group of people came in, carrying several wooden boxes.

When the boxes were opened, they contained some black fox skins and some supplements for the border. The last box was placed heavily on the ground, even stirring up a layer of dust.

"It's cold and harsh at the border, but my father and brothers always think of me when they have good things."

Shen Mengyao was filled with emotion: "Thank you, big brother, for bringing it here."

"Alas, I am not worthy of being called brother by the princess. My name is Li Hu. You can just call me Hu Zi like General Shen." Li Hu scratched his head, looking simple and honest.

Shen Mengyao smiled and nodded, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, General Hu, you are tired from the journey, you should go down and rest first. I will have someone prepare good wine and delicious food to welcome you."

Hearing this, Li Hu quickly waved his hands and smiled innocently.

"No, no, Princess. I have something important to tell you this time. I can't delay. General Shen and Master Shen asked me to personally hand you a secret letter. They said it was about the military situation at the border and the safety of the mansion. Please treat it with caution."

Shen Mengyao's expression froze when she heard this, and she immediately stopped smiling and said seriously, "Since it is so important, please bring the secret letter to me quickly."

Li Hu took out a letter sealed with wax from his arms and handed it to Shen Mengyao respectfully with both hands.

Shen Mengyao took the letter, with a thousand questions in her mind, and said to Li Hu: "You go and rest first, I need to deal with this matter immediately."

After Li Hu left, Shen Mengyao hurried back to the study, carefully used a candle to melt the sealing wax, and unfolded the letter. The handwriting on the letter was strong and powerful.

[My sister Mengyao, seeing your letter is like seeing you in person.]

My brother and father have been stationed at the border for many years and are homesick. I hope my sister can talk to the Queen Mother and ask us to return home on New Year's Eve to ease his homesickness. If there are any difficulties, open the last box.

Written by my brother Shen Feimo. 】

Shen Mengyao felt strange.

Her father and brother had always been stationed at the border, and she had never been so homesick. She also remembered that in her previous life, the people in the northern desert were mostly nomadic, and when there was no pasture in late autumn, the various tribes united to harass the border.

It is now late autumn, and chaos in the north is bound to occur. Why would her father and brother ask her to help plead with the Queen Mother to allow him to return to the capital at this time?

Shen Mengyao frowned, her mind filled with doubts.

She was well aware of the complexity and subtlety of the situation at the border. Her father and brother were important officials of the court and had guarded the border for many years. There must have been far-reaching considerations behind their decisions. Now this sudden request forced her to re-examine the matter.

She looked at the letter again, especially the sentence "If you have any difficulties, open the last box." This sentence was like a puzzle, tempting her to uncover the truth hidden behind it.

She stood up, walked to the last heavy wooden box, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the lid.

There was actually a box full of gold and silver inside!

She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. After thinking for a moment, she called Cuiwei and asked, "Have you made any arrangements for those soldiers coming from the border?"

Cuiwei chuckled and said, "Of course it has been arranged, Princess, don't worry."

After she finished replying, she saw the first box full of gold and silver.

"Group leader, are you exchanging the banknotes for silver? Do you want to deposit them into the warehouse?"

Shen Mengyao shook her head slightly: "According to that Li Hu, this was brought to me by my father and brother. They hope that I can use this box of gold and silver to bribe people and plead with the Queen Mother to allow them to return to the capital."

Cuiwei bit her lip and said, "It's true that the Duke and the Young Master haven't been home for a long time. The family hasn't had a reunion dinner for a long time. Even when you got married, they only gave you a dowry and a wedding. It's normal for the Duke to miss you."

Having said that, based on his understanding of his father and brother, even if they wanted to return to the capital, they would probably submit a petition to the emperor and seek his decree.

If this kind of secretive behavior is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

Shen Mengyao's doubts grew even stronger. She knew the rules of the court and the border very well. As pillars of the country, her father and brother should follow strict procedures instead of secretly arranging the return to Beijing through her, their daughter.
