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

Shen Mengyao's eyes revealed an unprecedented determination. She knew that although this trip was dangerous, it was related to the life and death of her loved ones, and she could not retreat. She took a step forward, her tone sincere and firm.

"Your Highness, I know this journey is dangerous, but my father's life or death is uncertain. As a daughter, I cannot sit idly by and watch. Moreover, I am capable of protecting myself, and Dr. Su will also be with us. There are many warriors with high martial arts skills in our team, and I believe we can take care of each other."

Qi Sui'an looked at her, his clear and tough eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles, making it impossible for him to refuse easily. He hesitated for a moment and finally gave in.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that you will follow orders in all actions and not act on your own to ensure your own safety."

Shen Mengyao felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She knew that this was Qi Suian's deepest care and protection for her. She nodded solemnly.

"I promise you, my lord. We will advance and retreat together."

So, after a day of intensive preparation, Shen Mengyao and Qi Suian embarked on the journey to the border.

On the way, they joined forces with the Qinzhou army. The team gradually grew larger and morale was high. Everyone was determined to win and vowed to defend the territory.

They traveled quickly and exhausted, and it only took them seven days to reach the border. The place was filled with smoke and corpses, and no one could escape the war.

Shen Feimo arrived first, his face full of fatigue after guarding the city for a day and a night.

"Your Highness, you came at the right time. We have agreed on a plan to bypass the border town and then lead a small team for a surprise attack. We are worried that we can't find the right person."

Qi Sui'an smiled helplessly: "It seems that I have run into trouble."

Shen Feimo said in a youthful tone: "Your Majesty has a sharp mind, and quick wits are needed on the march. No one is more suitable than you."

"Okay, stop flattering me." Qi Sui'an shook his head helplessly.

"Brother." Shen Mengyao came out from the back of the team.

"Why are you here?" Shen Feimo was surprised.

Shen Mengyao replied: "I heard that my father was injured, so I came here specially to take care of him."

Shen Feimo sulked and said, "Nonsense."

Shen Mengyao curled her lips: "I'm already here, brother won't send me back, right?"

Only in front of her brother could she act like this.

Shen Feimo had no choice. He couldn't send someone to send her back at this time. There was war on the border, and there were stragglers and bandits on the road who would take the opportunity to cause trouble. If they encountered them, the consequences would be disastrous.

I can only stay here now.

"Take care of your father and don't run around." Shen Feimo narrowed his eyes.

Shen Mengyao nodded in agreement.

They went to discuss border matters, and Shen Mengyao immediately went to visit her father.

The room was filled with the aroma of medicine. Duke Shen was lying behind a curtain, seemingly sleeping soundly.

When Shen Mengyao went over to tuck him in, Duke Shen suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her hand: "Who is it?"

"Dad, have you really not seen your daughter for a long time? That's why you can't even recognize her?" Shen Mengyao held back the tears in her eyes and looked at her father carefully.

She hadn't seen him for a long time. Her father looked very different from what she remembered. There were a few strands of white hair on his temples. His face was pale and he looked a little haggard, probably because of the injury.

Shen Mengyao hadn't seen her father for two lifetimes. If she wasn't afraid of being close to his wounds, she would have thrown herself into his arms and cried bitterly.

Duke Shen's eyes stayed on Shen Mengyao's face for a moment, and the confusion caused by the injury gradually dissipated, replaced by deep love and relief. "It's Yao'er, why are you here? It's too dangerous here."

His voice was weak, but full of concern.

Shen Mengyao held back her tears and said with a tearful smile, "My daughter is worried about you, so I specially invited a miracle doctor to come with you. You must take good care of your injuries, the Shen family still needs you."

As she spoke, she gently straightened the corner of the quilt for her father, her movements gentle but firm.

Duke Shen looked at his daughter, complex emotions flashing in his eyes, both gratified and worried. "You have grown up and become sensible." He sighed softly, and then changed the subject, "But this is a battlefield after all, and you, a woman, should not stay here for long."

"Don't worry, father. I will take good care of myself." Shen Mengyao said firmly, "Besides, Dr. Su is a skilled doctor. With him around, your injuries will surely recover quickly."

As she spoke, she motioned for Doctor Su to come forward and check Duke Shen's injuries.

Doctor Su was already prepared. He stepped forward and carefully examined Duke Shen's wound. His brows were furrowed, but then they relaxed again. "Although the Duke's injury is serious, fortunately, he was treated in time and has the help of excellent medicinal materials. As long as he is carefully nursed, he will definitely recover."

Upon hearing this, Lord Shen nodded slightly, seeming to be relieved. He looked at Shen Mengyao, his eyes full of gratitude and relief. "Okay, with you and Dr. Su here, my old bones can still hold on for a few more years."

She helped her father change his medicine and take the medicine. After he fell asleep, she quickly walked out.

Outside the courtyard, Qi Sui'an's cold and lonely shadow was facing the clear moon in the sky. The cold air enveloped the surroundings, and the sky and the earth were vast.

"Your Highness, don't you have important things to attend to? Why don't you go to bed early?" Shen Mengyao walked quickly to his side and looked up at the moon.

"I will go behind the enemy lines to kill them tomorrow." Qi Sui'an was silent for a moment after he finished speaking. "When I return victorious, will you marry me?"

Shen Mengyao burst out laughing: "How dare you be so sure about this when there's nothing even remotely happening?"

Hearing this, Qi Sui'an's lips curled up into a faint smile, which looked both gentle and firm under the moonlight: "The person I, Qi Sui'an, have chosen, I will naturally marry him or her. If you win this battle, it will be the best betrothal gift."

Shen Mengyao looked at his serious expression, and a warm feeling surged in her heart, but it was also mixed with a bit of uneasiness.

She knew that Qi Sui'an's words were not just a promise, but also his responsibility as a general. She nodded gently, her voice soft but firm: "My Lord, it is unlucky to say this before the war. If you really want to, wait until after the war and discuss it carefully. By then, we will have a lot of time."

"Okay!" Qi Suian did not force her, but nodded, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

On the second night, he took advantage of the cover of darkness and led a surprise attack team to attack from behind.

The Shen brothers and sisters saw him off from the city wall, watching him walk away quickly.

"I really don't know how long this battle will last." Shen Mengyao sighed slowly.

"I hope everything can be peaceful as soon as possible." Shen Feimo turned around and smiled: "Are you worried about his safety? Don't worry, he has experienced battles in his youth, so there will be no problem."
