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

Leaving his name in history and being remembered forever is his true choice.

Luochuan felt a little sorry for Shen Mengyao.

But at this moment, he could no longer care about so many things.

The most important thing at the moment is to return to Beimo. Things have come to this point, and he knows that there is no room for him to turn back or compromise.

The capital of Daqi can no longer accommodate him.

"My Lord, let's talk business."

"That's exactly what I meant." Qi Sui'an covered his lips and coughed softly.

Along the official road in the wilderness, the two men chatted animatedly.

In the carriage, the blood had stopped flowing. After a night of turmoil, Shen Mengyao was so tired and weak that she didn't even have the strength to speak.

When I opened the car curtain, I saw a hint of paleness in the sky outside, and it seemed that dawn was about to come.

"I want to go back."

Shen Mengyao lowered the car curtain.

"Wait for your Highness." Queyue said hesitantly, "I think Wang Yi wants to explain to you what happened just now."

"There's nothing to explain." Shen Mengyao smiled faintly, her tone light and indifferent.

"Are you angry with the prince?" Queyue looked at her indifferent attitude and became even more worried.

Just now, in front of everyone, Qi Suian wanted to give up on her in order to prevent chaos in the Northern Territory, and even said something about offering to apologize with his own head.

Shen Mengyao shook her head lightly.

"I don't mean to blame you, my Lord. I'm just tired and want to go back and rest."

Luochuan was in a hurry to leave. Perhaps that was the last time they saw each other. Since they would not see each other again, there was no point in staying here. They had already said goodbye just now.

Sooner or later, among the bustling water and clouds, everyone will disperse. Shen Mengyao understands this and there is no need to force it. However, she still feels uncomfortable in her heart and doesn't know how to explain to Xiaoqi when she returns.

Queyue couldn't persuade him, so she nodded: "Then I'll go tell Beilan, I'll escort the people and take you back first."

Shen Mengyao responded, propped up her head and closed her eyes to rest.

But the one who came back was not Queyue, but Qi Sui'an. He lifted the curtain and got on the carriage: "I will escort the princess back directly."

Shen Mengyao suddenly raised her head: "My Lord, have we finished discussing everything?"

"It's not difficult, it's already been settled." Qi Sui'an smiled faintly, sat beside him and lowered the car curtain.

Shen Mengyao lifted the car curtain and looked inside.

Luochuan seemed to be about to leave. He got on the horse and looked in this direction reluctantly. When he saw Shen Mengyao in the carriage, he suddenly smiled knowingly.

Shen Mengyao waved at him.

Mountains and rivers may meet, but people may also part ways eventually.

"Can't bear to leave?" Qi Sui'an asked: "Things have come to this point, it will be good for him to leave the capital."

"I understand this truth, and I also know that all good things must come to an end, but I still feel sad when the moment comes."

Shen Mengyao looked up and smiled bitterly.

Perhaps it is only after experiencing two lifetimes that I truly understand in my heart that nothing is more important than people.

It's just that everyone has their own future, and as an outsider, she can't interfere.

Qi Sui'an comforted her: "Maybe we will meet again in the future."

"I hope so." Shen Mengyao let out a long sigh: "I'm a little tired, Your Majesty, I hope you don't mind if I take a nap in the carriage."

"Of course." Qi Sui'an responded with a smile.

The road was bumpy and I was exhausted from traveling all night. I didn't sleep well, but when I woke up, I had already arrived in the capital. It was bright outside and bustling with people.

Thinking of the chill of the sword against my neck yesterday, I always feel like I have lived again.

Qi Sui'an smiled and asked her, "Now that you're awake, how do you feel?"

"Much better. Thank you, Your Highness, for your help." Shen Mengyao saw that they had reached the street outside Shuiyunjian and wanted to get up and ask the coachman to stop and take her there.

But unexpectedly, Qi Suian grabbed her and asked her to sit down.

"Mengyao, I didn't save you at that time. I am sorry for you. I don't want you to die, but I can't let you leave the capital. I know Luochuan will come."

"You don't have to explain to me." Shen Mengyao smiled faintly: "As a prince, you should do this."

"Yes, as the regent, I am in charge of the government affairs. This is my job, but I feel sorry for you out of courtesy." Qi Sui'an's eyes were solemn.

Shen Mengyao knew that if she didn't explain, he would probably feel bad about this matter.

She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Mengyao really doesn't mean to blame you.

If you don't do this, Mengyao will think that you are irrational and don't know how to think about the world and the people of the country.

If I am really taken to the border, my father and brother will be in a dilemma. Meng Yao does not want to see this happen and would rather die in the capital."

Her eyes were full of understanding and recognition.

But for some reason, the more Qi Sui'an saw her understanding look, the more he felt sorry for her.

He solemnly promised: "From now on, I will definitely consider your life more important than mine."

"No need, Your Majesty." Shen Mengyao's expression was indifferent, and her tone was firm: "We are just cooperating. How dare Mengyao trouble Your Majesty?"

Qi Sui'an opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

He didn't even have the right to ask her if she was angry.

Shen Mengyao didn't want to explain more. That moment yesterday was indeed extremely heartbreaking. Perhaps the substitute was just not as good as the real person.

She even wondered that night, if it was his white moonlight standing in that position, would he still have a bit of rationality left and care about the safety of the country?

There will never be an answer to this kind of thing. She admired his rationality, but still couldn't let go of the question that was lingering in her heart.

"Your Highness, the Shuiyunjian is just ahead. Mengyao is just going to check out the situation, so I'll take my leave now."

She wanted to get off the car, but unexpectedly, Qi Suian kept chasing her.

"It's just right. I feel exhausted. I'm going to have a cup of tea. Will the princess not welcome me?"

"Of course not. It's what I want to open a business." Shen Mengyao sat down again with a normal expression.

When he lifted the car curtain and looked out the window, his gaze was far-reaching and filled with sadness.

There was almost no one in the teahouse in the morning.

The private room on the second floor has a great view. Water is bubbling on a small red clay stove, and when the tea leaves are opened, a fragrance emanates from the wooden box.

She picked up some with wooden tweezers, put it in a covered bowl, poured in clean water, rinsed the tea, and poured in more water. In an instant, the fragrance of tea filled the entire room.

Qi Sui'an took a sip and was greatly impressed.

"What the princess said is indeed true. The tea here is excellent, and the princess's craftsmanship is also good."

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise." Shen Mengyao smiled faintly, called the waiter and gave an order.

Not long after, the waiter came in with a bag of tea and served it respectfully.

Shen Mengyao smiled faintly: "It's just a small token of my appreciation, not a token of respect."
