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

Bei Lan reacted, nodded and left.

Shen Mengyao was not a person who did not know what was going on. Seeing the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, she knew that they had something to say and it was not appropriate for her to be there.

She smiled and stood up to say goodbye: "It's getting late, Your Majesty, please have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore."

Unexpectedly, Qi Suian suddenly tried to persuade him to stay.

"Didn't the princess just agree to drink tea and admire the moon with me? Why are you in such a hurry to leave before the stool is even warm?"

Shen Mengyao raised her eyes and saw that he was sincere in wanting to keep her, so she didn't leave.

She raised the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. After taking a closer look, she said, "Although the tea here is extraordinary, it is not top-notch. I have some good tea. I might as well send it to you for you to try."

"There is no one with excellent tea art in the palace, and I'm afraid the good tea will be wasted." Qi Sui'an politely declined.

Shen Mengyao pursed her lips and smiled: "How difficult is that? Mengyao happens to know some tea ceremony. If Your Majesty wants to taste tea, I am willing to make tea for Your Majesty."

"Didn't the princess look like she wanted to draw a clear line between herself and me before?" Qi Sui'an raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with interest.

"Your Highness and I are partners, and we have clear boundaries. Why should we talk about drawing a line in the sand?" Shen Mengyao pushed the question back and implicitly explained the relationship between the two.

Qi Sui'an's smiling face froze slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"What the princess said does make sense."

"The prince gave me oranges, and I gave him tea. It's just a gift in return." Shen Mengyao raised the teacup and smiled.

Qi Sui'an raised the glass calmly, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Tonight the moonlight is as frosty as frost, and the silver light fills the courtyard, adding a touch of tenderness and mystery to this quiet night.

Qi Sui'an seemed to have caught a cold and started coughing softly, covering his mouth.

After coughing for a long time, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, the maid came in with a medicine bowl: "My lord, the medicine has been warmed up, and it's time to take it."

Qi Sui'an frowned: "This medicine is really bitter."

Shen Mengyao chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, Dr. Su has done his best to treat your illness. You can't just ignore the doctor's advice."

Although he was complaining, he still took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression.

But I have been drinking bitter medicine continuously these days, and nothing I eat has any taste. Instead, I feel weaker.

The maid quietly breathed a sigh of relief, took the empty bowl, and quickly retreated.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. I'll take my leave now and will come back another day with the best tea." Shen Mengyao bowed slightly.

"Then I won't see you off." Qi Suian did not try to keep her this time.

Shen Mengyao stood up and said goodbye. She originally wanted to instruct others to make sure the letter was delivered to her father, but she thought Qi Sui'an was very meticulous and would do his best.

Mentioning it again and again made it seem like she didn't trust him, so she left the Regent's Palace without saying anything more.

As soon as he left, Bei Lan walked in quickly with a serious face.

"I found it."

"Go ahead." Qi Sui'an casually picked up the teacup next to him.

Bei Lan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I have looked up where Luo Chuan came from. It is said that he first appeared in Beizhenguan, but I have checked the household registration and there is no one named Luo Chuan there."

Seeing his mysterious tone, Qi Sui'an held his forehead helplessly.

"Just say what you want to say, don't keep us in suspense."

Bei Lan straightened his expression.

"The year he appeared, the Northern Desert was in chaos. The original leader of the Northern Desert tribe died in the war, and his wife and daughter were tortured to death. It was a horrible sight, and all the male members were beheaded in public."

"Oh? Could he be the son of the leader of the Beimo tribe?" Qi Sui'an placed the teacup on the table, looking calm and composed: "Do you have any evidence?"

Bei Lan shook his head.

"Although I'm not completely sure, the evidence shows that he should be it. As far as I know, he is about the same age as the favorite son of the former king of Beimo. Moreover, there are many more Beimo people in the capital, all of whom are the former king's men. One of them even got in touch with him."

"So that's how it is." Qi Sui'an lowered his eyes and thought: "It seems that he is indeed the son of the former King of Beimo."

After hearing this, Bei Lan hesitated, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to say it.

Qi Sui'an caught a glimpse of the hesitant expression and frowned.

"Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Thinking of this, Bei Lan simply spoke freely. He cleared his throat and looked serious.

"Your Highness, this Luo Chuan sneaked into the princess's side. Could it be that he wanted to use the Duke's Mansion's influence in Tingjing to help him return to the Northern Desert?"

Qi Sui'an's face suddenly turned ugly.

But when he thought about it, he was right beside Shen Mengyao when she rescued Luochuan. It was purely accidental. At that time, he had become a slave, so how could he have such great ability?

If Shen Mengyao had not been kind-hearted for a moment, he would have been tortured to death by the princess.

He briefly described what happened at that time, and then frowned again.

"Maybe I didn't have this idea at the beginning, but now, my old subordinates are here to look for me, and I know that the princess's father and brother are stationed on the border between Daqi and Beimo, so it's inevitable that they will have some bad intentions."

This was exactly what Bei Lan was thinking.

"Your Majesty, if you don't control it, something unexpected might happen."

Qi Sui'an thought for a long time and said, "Let me think about it carefully."

At Yipintang, people are drinking to their heart's content.

Luochuan arrived late, and after hesitating for a long time, he pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

"My Lord, please see me."

Luo Chuan's eyes trembled, he walked forward quickly and helped her up.

"Uncle, I can't bear the title of master, please don't call me that."

De Le knelt down for a long time and could not get up.

"King Beimo ordered before his death that if he dies, you will be our master, and we dare not act rashly."

Luo Chuan sighed: "Okay, get up."

Dele then stood up.

After going through so much, the face of the man in his forties was weathered. He had been wandering outside for many years and it seemed that his life was not easy. The moment he saw Luochuan, his eyes were filled with tears.

"My dear, I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime. When I fled in a hurry, someone died for you. But because of the war, I didn't know where you were. I thought I would never see you again in this life."

"It was all just luck." Luo Chuan sighed, "How many of my father Khan's old friends are left?"

"Back then, several major tribes united together. Yes, we wanted to kill them all. Although it was not easy for us to hide from place to place over the years, we have gathered a team and are just waiting for the young master to return so that we can start an uprising with a legitimate reason."

Dele was filled with righteous indignation when he said this, with tears in his eyes as he wanted to repay his old master.

"But how sure are we?" Luo Chuan raised his eyes and looked at him: "If we are not completely sure, we will die. I will never agree to this. We should just lie dormant and wait."
