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

"Any news?" Shen Mengyao was pleasantly surprised. Seeing Queyue was about to speak, she immediately raised her hand to stop her.

She looked around cautiously, and seeing the palace servants hurrying back and forth, she was still worried, so she lowered her voice and said, "We'll talk about it after we get back."

After returning to Xingqing Palace, she closed the door and asked Queyue anxiously, "What did you find out?"

Queyue's eyes were gloomy and he let out a long sigh.

"It's really hard to get news from the palace, but luckily I found a way. It is said that the princess went to the palace to the clothing bureau before the banquet and made a few clothes for the palace banquet."

"It's easy to check here. There are not many palace maids on the list who were selected." Shen Mengyao's frowned brows relaxed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Queyue hadn't finished her words yet. She sighed slowly and continued speaking.

"Also, the eldest princess used the excuse of inspecting the palace banquet singing and dancing programs to stay in the palace's Pear Garden, enjoying singing and dancing for more than ten days, two hours a day."

"what?"

Shen Mengyao's heart sank. According to the palace regulations, there were about several hundred people in the entire opera house. There was no fixed number of musicians and geishas, ​​and they would definitely attend the palace banquet. It was impossible to reduce the number of people.

She was now almost certain that the eldest princess was the person she had chosen here at this time to help her complete her plan.

She thought about it for a moment and soon came up with a solution.

"First, find a way to get to know a few people in the opera world, and lure them with a large sum of money to ask them to report the person with the red mole on his ear. If they find the person we want, give them two ounces of silver as compensation."

Queyue nodded.

"Don't worry, Princess. I'll take care of it."

"By the way, we need to select people who are not talkative or meddlesome, so that the news will not be leaked in advance." Shen Mengyao reminded.

"Yes, I understand." Queyue nodded. The atmosphere was just right today, so she joked again.

"The princess has really worked very hard for the prince, and even spent hundreds of gold coins to clear the prince's name."

Shen Mengyao cleared her throat and glanced at her calmly: "I will definitely have to ask your prince for reimbursement when the time comes."

Queyue shrugged.

The progress is very fast. There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. What's more, just by telling what you have noticed in your daily life, you can get a hundred taels of silver. Why not do it?

Having a mole near the ear is not common, and it is easy for others to see such an obvious feature. Sure enough, within three days, there was news.

When Queyue came back excitedly after receiving the news, Shen Mengyao was accompanying the empress dowager. The eldest princess came often these days, and even the fifth prince came occasionally to ask how she was. The empress dowager looked much better.

Shen Mengyao felt much more relieved. Although she had been helping to clear Qi Sui'an's name, the empress dowager's early death in the previous life made her illness a top priority.

After she finished serving the medicine, she suddenly saw Queyue's figure outside the hall, and she swayed slightly.

She suddenly appeared outside the Empress Dowager's Palace, so she must have something urgent to do.

But at this time, it was definitely not appropriate for her to go out, so she just patiently stayed and talked with the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother was full of energy, she had always slept a lot due to her many illnesses. As expected, after drinking the medicine, she soon became exhausted and yawned.

"Okay, everyone, please leave. With you guys talking to me every day, I feel better and my illness doesn't matter anymore."

"As long as the Queen Mother is in a good mood, Mengyao will be satisfied. You take a rest, and Mengyao will take her leave."

After paying her respects, Shen Mengyao walked out straight ahead, deliberately avoiding the eldest princess. However, she did not expect to run into the fifth prince just as she stepped down the steps of the hall.

The fifth prince coughed softly and said, "Princess, why did you come out so early today?"

Shen Mengyao replied: "The Queen Mother is resting."

"It seems that I came at the wrong time." The fifth prince sighed.

As they were talking, the eldest princess came out, and her sharp eyes swept among them.

"You have a good relationship."

"Of course." The fifth prince coughed twice and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Princess, I have a good relationship with the prince, so I got to know the princess through the prince."

Hearing this, a trace of jealousy flashed across the eldest princess's face.

Are their relationships that good? They even met each other's friends.

"Really? I didn't know that my fifth brother and the prince had such a good relationship before." The eldest princess straightened her chest and said, "If that's the case, we should visit each other more often in the future. This can be regarded as a closer relationship."

"The princess is absolutely right." The fifth prince nodded.

The eldest princess snorted and turned away.

The fifth prince glanced at Shen Mengyao and said with a smile: "In the past, princesses like you would always retreat a lot, why are you becoming more aggressive recently?"

Shen Mengyao's expression was calm: "She pressed me step by step, and I gave in step by step. I had nowhere to retreat, so the only option left was to fight back."

The fifth prince, however, saw through the situation but didn't say anything.

"I think it's for someone."

Shen Mengyao pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly: "Fifth Prince, there is no need to say such baseless words."

The fifth prince immediately showed an expression of surrender.

"Okay, let's stop talking and talk about serious matters. It's difficult for you to contact people in and outside the palace. Do you have any paintings or letters that you want me to bring to others?"

After chatting for a while, Shen Mengyao shook her head.

"Not for now, but if I need anything, I will definitely ask the Fifth Prince."

"That's good. Don't treat me as an outsider. Sui'an is my close friend. Helping a friend is of course a piece of cake." The Fifth Prince's expression was unusually serious.

Shen Mengyao agreed deeply in her heart and was very moved.

"Thank you."

"Since the Empress Dowager has already gone to bed, I won't disturb her."

Leaving this sentence, he turned and left.

Shen Mengyao watched him leave and then hurried over.

Queyue paced back and forth anxiously in the room.

Hearing the noise, he rushed forward and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was her.

"Princess, you are finally back and have made a discovery."

"Have you found out who this person is?" Shen Mengyao felt a little happy in her heart, because things were easier than she had imagined, and perhaps it wouldn't take long to end this terrible situation.

Queyue nodded and reported meticulously.

"I found out that the person is called Ling'er and is indeed a dancer. While he was practicing martial arts, I compared them with the portrait sent by the prince. They are very similar, and there is a red mole next to her ear."

"That should be about right." Shen Mengyao said after thinking for a while.

Queyue was an impatient person, and when he heard this, his tone immediately became anxious.

"Then we have to quickly control him. If he runs away, all our efforts will be in vain."
