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

For three whole days, the cold wind at the border was like a razor, making the windows rustle.

Doctor Su asked her to drink with him in the evening, but he himself got drunk.

But when he saw her looking out the window with a worried look on her face, he teased her, "Are you so worried about the prince? I'm not worried, because the prince is resolute and brave. Don't worry, he will definitely return victorious."

Shen Mengyao came back to her senses, smiled and nodded.

But who can predict the outcome of a war? On the battlefield, swords are blind and will not discriminate against anyone. She still couldn't let go of the worry in her heart.

Now her father is getting better, but she just hopes that everyone she cares about can be safe and happy.

"I hope so."

The wind outside blew day after day, making the weather much colder. There were frequent close combats outside the city, and wars of all sizes injured countless people, but there was still no news of the surprise attack team.

Going deep behind enemy lines, where there is often no one around, you can imagine how difficult it is!

Shen Mengyao followed Doctor Su, treating the wounded while waiting for news from Qi Suian.

In a blink of an eye, seven days had passed, and the sky at the border was still gloomy, as if even the heavens were sighing for the war. Shen Mengyao's mood became heavier with the continuous rain. Whenever it was late at night, she would always sit alone outside the tent, looking at the dark night in the distance, silently praying in her heart that Qi Suian would return safely.

On the morning of the eighth day, a ray of light finally appeared in the sky, breaking the gloomy haze. Shen Mengyao was about to start a new day of rescue work when she saw a scout running over in a hurry, looking excited.

"Princess! Princess! Good news! The prince's surprise attack team won a great victory. Together with General Shen, they attacked the enemy from the front and back and drove the enemy back thirty miles. They are now on their way back!" The scout's voice echoed in the silent camp, bringing cheers.

Shen Mengyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and then an indescribable joy surged in her heart. She clenched her hands tightly, trying to calm her excitement, and turned to Doctor Su and smiled, "Doctor, you see, I told you that the prince would be fine."

Doctor Su was also pleased and patted her on the shoulder: "Yes, Your Majesty, good fortune will come to you. Now, you can rest assured."

With Qi Sui'an's return, the entire camp was immersed in joy. Shen Mengyao couldn't wait to see him and confirm whether he was really safe.

The people at the border lined the streets to welcome him. She was also standing in the crowd and saw him riding a tall horse, looking energetic and galloping towards them. The people at the border cheered.

The carriage stopped in front of the Duke's Protectorate Mansion. When Shen Mengyao was about to greet it, a woman suddenly ran out from the end of the crowd.

"My Lord, I beg you not to leave me alone."

She was a little stunned. She looked at the woman carefully and suddenly found that her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to hers. She seemed to be frightened and her expression was a little flustered, but it could be seen that she was a natural beauty.

Could it be that she is the woman A Li in Qi Sui'an's dream?

After a moment of distraction, she came back to her senses and forced a smile on her face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for returning victoriously and bringing back the beautiful lady."

Qi Sui'an was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "Are you jealous?"

"No." Shen Mengyao quickly denied it. Wan'er smiled and said, "I am very happy that the prince has found a beautiful woman. Congratulations, prince."

"Are you really congratulating me?" Qi Suian suddenly couldn't see through her. He wanted to find a hint of falseness on her face, but still couldn't get the point.

"I never tell lies." Shen Mengyao smiled against her will and turned to look at the woman: "Miss, what's your name and where do you live? Why are you here?"

"I, my name is Yuli. I have been homeless for a long time. If the prince had not returned successfully and saved me, I would have..." Yuli covered her face and cried softly.

Ah Li, as expected, the woman he had always been thinking about was found, so naturally he no longer needed a substitute like her.

After a moment of distraction, Shen Mengyao forced a smile and said, "Since the prince has returned victorious, I am relieved. I will not disturb you two."

Qi Sui'an raised his hand, trying to stop her, but Yu Li beside him grabbed his hand and said, "My Lord, please don't leave me, okay?"

Shen Mengyao did not stop. She took a deep breath, resisted the pain and loss in her heart, and continued to move forward. Every step seemed to step on her heart, painful and heavy. She understood that the fate between her and Qi Suian might really have to stop here.

Winter was over and the war was temporarily over with it. The emperor issued a special decree to allow Duke Shen to return to Beijing for recuperation. Shen Feimo naturally took over the position of Duke Shen and was stationed at the border.

At this time, under the instruction of the emperor and with the assistance of the Shen family army, Luochuan gradually grasped the situation in Beimo.

Before Shen Mengyao left, Luo Chuan sneaked into the city to meet her. Seeing her old friend, Shen Mengyao was naturally filled with surprise.

"Luochuan."

"Princess, actually my name is not Luochuan, but you can call me that." Luochuan smiled gently.

"Okay, we'll always be friends."

"But this may be the last time we meet in this life. From now on, we will be separated from each other." Luo Chuan lowered his head, his eyes filled with sadness, but more of relief.

"Whether you believe it or not, I always dream of returning to the capital, to the water and clouds, when we were all together."

"Everyone has his or her own responsibilities." Shen Mengyao smiled and comforted: "We will meet again if we are destined to do so."

"Okay." Luo Chuan nodded.

"Actually, Xiaoqi has also come to the border. She is not sure whether you are willing to see her, and I don't know where to find you." Shen Mengyao lowered her eyes and smiled.

Luo Chuan pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, there is nothing in the first place, so where can dust come from?"

Luo Chuan knew that he couldn't stay for long. The men outside had urged him repeatedly. He raised his head and looked at Shen Mengyao with burning eyes: "My princess, have a safe journey. As long as I am here, Beimo will cultivate a hundred years of friendship with Nanqi, and you can be reunited with your family."

"Thank you." Shen Mengyao clasped his fists, his face solemn.

"The people can't stand the war anymore, and I'm doing this for the people of both countries." After Luo Chuan finished speaking, he jumped out of the window and left.

Shen Mengyao sighed. There is no banquet that will last forever. In this world, everyone has his or her own identity and responsibilities. Perhaps it is the greatest happiness in the world to have the opportunity to meet each other and walk together for a while.

Just as she was about to close the window and pack up for the night, she heard a faint mocking voice from below: "A beautiful woman left the window open for her lover, unable to restrain her feelings. What a beautiful story."
