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

Qi Sui'an's heartbeat was closely following hers. With every beat, she could feel the rhythmic beat, which gradually overlapped with her own heartbeat.

Just when she was about to drown, Bei Lan rushed in from the door and exclaimed.

"Your Majesty!"

Shen Mengyao suddenly woke up, struggled to get up, watched him help the prince up, and asked.

"The prince's body..."

Bei Lan's expression was very unsightly. He lowered his eyes and sighed, "Since the last time the prince was poisoned, his health has not been good. In addition, he was frozen in the cold wind last night, so..."

Shen Mengyao felt her voice trembling: "Will her life be in danger?"

The sound of the wind from the Zhaixing Tower whistled through the hall like a mournful cry. The wind was cold, and her heart was even colder.

"Will the princess really care about the prince?" Bei Lan's voice seemed to be filled with anger.

"The prince and I are cooperating with each other, and it is my duty to show some concern out of courtesy." Shen Mengyao lowered her eyes, concealing the color in her eyes, and said in a deep voice.

Bei Lan couldn't help feeling sad when he heard her say this, but this was not the time to say much, so he had to take Qi Sui'an and quickly leave Zhaixing Tower.

In the carriage, a pot of charcoal kept the carriage very warm. Qi Suian woke up before reaching the palace.

He coughed heavily a few times, and his voice became hoarse and unpleasant: "Where is Meng Yao?"

"The princess has gone back." Bei Lan replied, "The prince is not in good health and should not come out. If you want to see the princess, you can make an appointment at the Regent's Mansion. I believe the princess will understand."

"No." Qi Sui'an lifted the carriage curtain and glanced out the window: "If the princess knew about this, I don't know what she would do."

Bei Lan hesitated: "The prince cares so much about the princess, but the princess..."

"Don't say these words again." Qi Suian's voice gradually became colder. Before he could finish speaking, he knew what he was going to say and stopped him coldly.

The north wind is howling and deep winter is coming.

The snow in front of the door has been swept clean, and a vast expanse of snow has covered the original color, so people hang a string of small red lanterns under the corridor to make it look more festive.

She had already made preparations and planned to move into the palace under the pretext of taking care of the empress dowager, so she asked Cuiwei to prepare some personal belongings.

The imperial edict had already come down, and she thought that the sooner she could enter the palace the better. However, she was still a little worried about Qi Sui'an, and hesitated whether she should go to visit him.

Just as I was thinking about it, Queyue came. She stood outside the door, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in quickly, but the expression on her face was still ugly.

Shen Mengyao discovered her. Although her appearance was different from before, she could still be identified as her from her cold expression.

"Queyue, are you here because your prince has something to tell me?"

"No." Queyue took a deep breath and stepped in: "Princess, the prince asked me to protect you."

Shen Mengyao originally wanted to refuse. After all, Queyue had a quarrel with her because of Qi Suian, and keeping her around would only cause trouble.

But if you think about it carefully, this time entering the palace was not just to take care of the empress dowager, but more importantly to find the person who framed Qi Suian.

It might be much better if there was a strong helper.

Thinking of this, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, then you follow me."

Seeing her acting as if nothing had happened, Queyue became even more sulky.

Shen Mengyao ignored her and glanced at Cuiwei: "Let her follow me. You stay in the mansion and take care of the internal and external affairs, especially Shuiyunjian. You can go over and keep an eye on it occasionally."

Cuiwei pouted, looking a little jealous.

"Princess, ever since Miss Queyue came to your side, you have been taking her with you on everything, unlike before when you always took me with you on everything."

Shen Mengyao laughed and scratched her nose lovingly.

"Little girl, are you still jealous?"

Cuiwei curled her lips and muttered, "It's obvious that I grew up with the princess."

Shen Mengyao explained with a smile.

"This time entering the palace is different. There are some things that need to be investigated. She is good at martial arts, so it would be good to have her around. Moreover, it is also for the sake of her master."

Cuiwei nodded in understanding: "After entering the palace, the princess must pay attention to safety."

Shen Mengyao patted her shoulder and said, "I'll leave the affairs of the mansion to you. I'm at ease. Just pay more attention to it."

"Don't worry, Princess." Cuiwei nodded solemnly.

It was a sunny day after the snow, and the sun was shining brightly. The snow on the eaves had melted a lot and was dripping.

The carriage slowly drove along the bluestone road, and the white snow on both sides sparkled brightly in the sun.

When they arrived at Xingqing Palace, the empress dowager was leaning on the couch with her eyes closed, resting. After Shen Mengyao entered, she did not disturb the empress dowager, but warmed her hands by the fire and gently massaged her.

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and yawned: "Fuqing, your technique is becoming more and more comfortable."

Shen Mengyao laughed and said, "Grandmother, it's me."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes in surprise: "You entered the palace so soon?"

Shen Mengyao answered with a smile.

"Grandmother, your health has not been good, and I was very worried staying outside the palace. Since you allowed me to enter the palace to accompany you, I naturally came here without stopping."

"You are such a sweet-talker." The Queen Mother yawned, looked at her with concern and asked, "You have opened a restaurant now, are you really confident about entering the palace?"

Shen Mengyao replied while massaging: "The restaurant is now on track, so it doesn't matter if we don't go and watch it."

"It's not easy to manage such a big restaurant, right?" The Queen Mother had nothing to do, so she just chatted with him.

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"How can she compare to the Imperial Grandmother? She used to be the head of the harem, managing three thousand beauties with ease. If Meng Yao can't even manage this small restaurant, is she really useless?"

"There are not three thousand beauties, but if you include the palace maids, there are more than three thousand. The three palaces and six courtyards each have a fixed number, and the master of each palace or courtyard takes care of the affairs of his own palace, so it is not too difficult." The queen mother replied with a smile.

"Then you have never seen many of the maids and queen mothers in this palace."

The Queen Mother was amused. "There are so many palace maids, and a new batch is recruited every two years. How can I remember them all? What? Are you looking for someone?"

Shen Mengyao thought about it and decided not to tell the truth.

"Not really. I just asked casually. I just thought that if these things were in Mengyao's hands, Mengyao would be really overwhelmed and would not know what to do."

"You are just a child who knows how to make people happy." The Queen Mother smiled, shook her head and closed her eyes.

Shen Mengyao was massaging beside him without saying a word.

With so many people, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be extremely difficult to find them, and I don't know if we can stop them in time before they get married.
