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

Shen Mengyao raised her head and smiled faintly: "I do have the intention to test him, but even if he answers fluently, I cannot trust him completely. If there is really someone behind him directing him, he would feel more at ease seeing my cautious attitude."

Cuiwei suddenly realized: "You are not testing whether he is real or fake, but reassuring the people behind him, right?"

"Yes, no matter what, for such a big thing, I must wait for my father and brother to write it down in person."

"But how do we get the letter to the border?" Cuiwei looked distressed: "Through the post station?"

Shen Mengyao shook her head. Obviously, this method was not a foolproof solution and there was still the possibility of fraud.

She stood up and paced back and forth.

"I am not clear about the current situation in the capital. Since I have reached a cooperation with the prince, we previously shared the business dividends. Now the news in the court should be shared with me."

"Prince? Will the prince really tell you?" Cuiwei looked worried.

"This is a deal. There's no reason for him not to tell you." Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and seemed to have made up her mind: "Let's go to the palace tonight."

Cuiwei nodded.

Late at night, a gentle breeze blows, and it is a bit chilly. It seems that winter is not far away.

Qi Suian seemed to be afraid of the cold. He was sitting under the porch, wrapped in a fox fur coat, and warming himself by the fire.

"It's not even winter yet, Your Highness, are you so afraid of the cold?" Shen Mengyao walked over with a smile and sat in front of him.

There were also oranges that had just been harvested this autumn roasting on the fire, and a scent of oranges filled the air.

"If you are not in good health, you will naturally be afraid of the cold." Qi Sui'an placed the teapot on the charcoal fire, raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled faintly: "Why are you here again tonight? Or are you just passing by?"

Shen Mengyao blushed a little, but still pretended to be calm and sat down in front of him.

"I came to see the prince, so of course I have something to ask."

"What's the matter?" Qi Sui'an raised his eyebrows.

Shen Mengyao took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember that I said we wanted to cooperate? Now that the monthly dividends are delivered to your residence on time, do you also want to fulfill your promise?"

Qi Suian pulled up a smile.

"Well, how do you want to keep your promise?"

"The prince is very powerful, he must have many ways, right?" Shen Mengyao thought for a moment, took out the written letter from her arms and placed it on the table.

"This is a letter I wrote to my father and brother. I hope the prince can deliver it to my father and brother."

Qi Sui'an lowered his eyes and took a look: "I remember that although the border is far away, the post station is well connected. It shouldn't be difficult to deliver a letter. Why do you have to ask me?"

"Something has happened recently that cannot be explained in a few words, but I am afraid that this letter will fall into the hands of others and cause trouble, so I want to ask the prince to guarantee that this letter must be delivered to my father and brother."

Shen Mengyao looked at him expectantly.

"I wonder if the prince can agree to Meng Yao's request?"

Qi Sui'an thought for a moment and finally accepted it: "Okay, no problem, but you have to tell me what happened?"

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment before saying, "My father wrote me a letter, saying that he wanted to return to Beijing and asked me to go to the Queen Mother to ask for mercy and make some arrangements in the court."

When Qi Sui'an heard this, he narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, he also found something unusual.

"I know my father and brother's character very well. They are in their prime and are determined to defend their country. They will not give up halfway. Moreover, I heard that the tribes of all sizes in the northern desert often harass our Daqi border because of the lack of water and grass. At this critical moment, my father and brother are even less likely to leave."

"I also know your brother's temper." Qi Sui'an smiled faintly, without saying much, but just asked her what her plans were next?

"Although I want to see my father and brother, I will never use this method to transfer them back to the capital." Shen Mengyao hesitated for a moment before saying, "What's more, the person who came is indeed someone close to my brother."

She originally thought that without Li Junfeng, without her, the nail that was delivered to her father and brother's heart, she would be able to live in peace in this life.

But the feeling of impending storm once again swept over the Shen family, making her panic-stricken.

Qi Sui'an narrowed his eyes: "It seems that there is indeed a problem over there."

The capital city and the border are far apart. Even if you ride a fast horse, it will take several days and nights to travel back and forth, and it is tiring.

Not to mention that a lone postmaster is very likely to encounter danger on the road, making it even more inconvenient for the news to spread. It is estimated that the other party wants to use the inconvenience of news transmission to do his own things.

Shen Mengyao was calm: "So no matter what, I still tend to believe that my father and brother did not write this letter to me, but that it was a trap set by someone else. The north is going to be in chaos, and they must be more aware of it at the border, and there is no way they can escape in the face of the enemy."

Qi Sui'an nodded in understanding, obviously feeling that things were indeed as he said.

But after I realized it, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

"The news that Beimo Chongchong was about to make a move did arrive in the capital ten days ago, but only a few military ministers and this king know how you got to know it?"

Shen Mengyao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that this news had just reached the capital.

She let the secret slip in a hurry, and it was hard to explain that she only knew it because she lived a new life.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask further. I naturally have the source of the information."

Qi Suian smiled faintly and made her a cup of tea.

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions. The situation in Beimo is serious now. Even if you don't tell me, if anyone wants to harm the Duke's family who are guarding the border, I will never agree."

"If that's the case, then I feel relieved." Shen Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you are here, why don't you accompany me to drink tea and admire the moon? There are also roasted oranges, would you like to try some?"

"Since the prince has invited me so kindly, I can't refuse." Shen Mengyao picked up an orange.

Qi Suian looked at her with deep eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts.

"Mengyao, I always feel like you seem to be hiding something?"

Shen Mengyao was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook her head.

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. I really have nothing to hide."

Qi Sui'an's lips curled up slightly, as if he didn't completely believe what she said.

"Well, if that's the case, then I won't ask any more questions. But if you have any difficulties, just ask and I will do my best to help you."

Shen Mengyao felt warm in her heart, she knew that Qi Suian really cared about her.

"Thank you, my Lord. Now I can only deliver the letter."

Qi Sui'an knew that he would not speak unless it was absolutely necessary, so he nodded slightly and said nothing more.

At this moment, Bei Lan came hurriedly, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he saw Shen Mengyao here, so he immediately stopped talking.

"Greetings, Lord and Princess."

Qi Suian knew what he was going to say as soon as he saw his expression, and just said it lightly.

"Pack a basket of oranges shipped by sea and send it to the Princess's Mansion."
