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

Shen Mengyao smiled calmly and indifferently: "In the backyard, come with me to the backyard."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked in front, and everyone hurriedly followed.

The backyard seemed to be where two servants lived. There was an abandoned room at the back. The people sent by the eldest prince just did a simple search and felt that the things would not be there.

I didn't expect it to be here.

When they arrived at Luochuan's door, Shen Mengyao pushed it open.

"I hid the jade pendant in there."

"Where is it? Go and get it out." The eldest prince looked very alert.

Shen Mengyao did not refute, but walked straight in and opened the wardrobe. There was a baffle at the bottom. After pressing it hard, the baffle bounced back, revealing a secret compartment with a gold-painted box inside.

She handed the box to the eldest prince and said, "The thing is inside. Take a look for yourself. It is indeed your jade pendant. I will return it to you, and the grudge between us will be settled."

"We can't be cleared." The eldest prince suddenly changed his expression and took a step back: "Princess, after going through so many things, you are still so naive. It's really rare. Your naivety makes me feel a little sorry."

"What do you mean?" Shen Mengyao frowned and took a step back: "Are you going to go back on your word? This is not what a real man does."

"Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters." The eldest prince sneered and sent someone forward: "Take the princess back."

"Don't you want to confirm whether there is a jade pendant in the box?" Shen Mengyao sneered: "I already knew that you are unreliable. This box is just a touchstone. If you keep your promise, I might give you the thing."

"What?" The eldest prince's face changed and he opened the box instantly.

The box was actually empty.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his finger. He raised his hand and saw that the gold needle stuck in the groove was ejected when the box was opened, and it directly pierced his finger.

A bright red blood bead seeped out. He wiped it clean, and another dark red blood bead seeped out.

poisonous!

"How dare you poison this prince!" The eldest prince looked at her angrily.

"The eldest prince's style of doing things forces me to make extra preparations." Shen Mengyao frowned and smiled slowly.

"Don't worry, this is a slow poison and won't take effect that quickly, but you need an antidote. Otherwise, your internal organs will rot and you'll die in seven days!"

The eldest prince was obviously frightened by these words, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly!

Mu Ting was worried about his master, so he rushed forward and grabbed her neck fiercely: "Hand over the antidote, or I will kill you."

Even though it was a little hard to breathe, Shen Mengyao's expression was still as cold as ever, as if she was mocking them. Was this the only way?

"You have to think it over carefully. If I die, your master will die too."

When the eldest prince heard this, he immediately asked Mu Zeng to let her go, and then lied to her again.

"You give the antidote to me first, and I will leave the Princess's Mansion immediately."

Shen Mengyao coughed a few times, and after she breathed in, she sneered.

"Oh, do you think I'm a three-year-old child, Your Highness? Every failure makes you wiser, Your Highness understands this truth, right? You have lost your credibility in my eyes."

"Then what do you want?" The eldest prince said with a gloomy face.

Shen Mengyao raised her head, her dark eyes looking extremely determined: "Leave the Princess's Mansion first. I will send someone to deliver the antidote to you later."

The eldest prince frowned: "How can I trust you?"

"Do you think everyone is you?" Shen Mengyao sneered and said, "Killing a prince will not benefit me, and I don't want to cause trouble. Besides, your life is in my hands, you can only trust me."

"You..." The eldest prince was very angry. He stretched out his index finger and pointed at her fiercely.

"Okay, I have the guts!"

After saying this, he turned around and left with his men. A group of people left the Princess's Mansion in a mighty manner!

Shen Mengyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was about to leave, Xiao Qi suddenly came out from the side stealthily.

"Princess, I was so scared. I wanted to go out and call for help, but there were people blocking the way. I wanted to find someone who could handle it, but I didn't expect you to solve the problem so quickly."

Shen Mengyao showed a pale and weak smile: "It's all right now, remember not to tell anyone about this."

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Qi nodded heavily.

"Then you take a rest." Shen Mengyao patted her shoulder.

Xiao Qi nodded, and suddenly opened his mouth to speak, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said nothing.

She probably wanted to ask how Luochuan was doing recently, but unfortunately she didn't know his situation. Moreover, after going to Beimo, it was indeed difficult to communicate through letters, so she also wanted to avoid any trouble.

Shen Mengyao did not say any more about this issue and left quickly. Now, what she was most worried about was Queyue.

*** had actually expected that someone would be watching Ling'er's path, so he sent someone to intercept Queyue on the road.

After she got away, she found that the person had disappeared long ago.

Ling'er hurried back to a quiet village near the outskirts of Beijing.

"Mom and Dad."

As soon as the door opened, her parents were tied up and lying on chairs.

Ling'er bit her lips tightly and looked at the man threatening her with a knife.

"I did what you said. You can let my parents go now."

The man in black sneered: "Your parents can be released, but you must die!"

Ling'er's face turned pale. In fact, when she did this, she had a premonition that her ending would not be good. But she didn't expect that these people were so cruel and actually used her parents to threaten her.

"What do you want to do?" She made up her mind, looked up and asked coldly.

"There is a pond on the way back to the village. If you fall into it and pretend it's an accident, I will let your family go." The man in black said coldly, "You must die with your secret."

Ling'er looked at her parents in grief and clenched her teeth.

"Okay, I promise you."

If she died, she could leave some money behind, enough for her parents to take care of themselves in their old age and for her younger brother to study well.

She was ready to die and turned to walk towards the pond outside the village.

Her parents were already in tears, shaking their heads frantically, begging her not to go, but Ling'er knew that either she would die alone, or her whole family would die together.

There are only these two endings, so she would rather choose to die.

The water at night was pitch black. Standing on the shore, the accumulated water soaked into her shoes and she was shivering with cold.

Someone was standing not far away, staring at her. It seemed that she didn't want to leave footprints by the pond and be discovered.

She knew she had nowhere to escape, so she just looked back at her home deeply, closed her eyes, and jumped into the water.

The freezing cold pond water enveloped her, and gradually, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.
