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

The person who came was none other than the Regent Qi Suian. Following behind him was Bei Lan, who had a ferocious look on his face. The pharmacist was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was blind and didn't know that Your Majesty had arrived. I will now present the snow lotus to you with both hands. Please forgive me this time."

Shen Mengyao was also surprised. She didn't expect to meet Qi Suian in Tongrentang. Although she was shocked, she did not lose her manners.

"Met the Regent."

These days, whenever she goes out, she seems to always meet Qi Sui'an. She doesn't know if it's her illusion.

"Brother Sui'an, since there are two parties competing, the one with the highest bid will naturally win." *** curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "This is not considered a violation of the law."

The arrogant *** just now softened his attitude when he saw Qi Suian.

Qi Sui'an nodded slightly: "The price of things cannot be raised at will, first come first served."

His eyes fell on Shen Mengyao, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He naturally knew that Shen Mengyao came to save the slave, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but for some reason, seeing her care so much about a slave, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

She didn't know where her heart was going.

"I was here first." *** lied with his eyes open.

"Really?" Qi Suian looked at the pharmacist and asked him to speak.

Sandwiched between the two nobles, the pharmacist trembled, not daring to say yes or no.

After hesitating for a long time, he knocked his head loudly and begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, my lord. I will never dare to do it again. This snow lotus is a gift to my lord."

"No merit, no reward. Just follow the rules!" Qi Sui'an said coldly, "When the empress came in just now, I vaguely saw that no one else went in after the empress came in. It seems that the princess came first."

***'s face changed: "You, you want to protect her?"

"It's just a case according to the rules." Qi Suian waved his hand, and the pharmacist wrapped up the white jade snow lotus and handed it to Shen Mengyao.

Shen Mengyao only needs to pay him according to the market price.

The pharmacist had escaped the disaster, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He hurriedly packed the herbs and handed them to Shen Mengyao.

Shen Mengyao glanced at Qi Sui'an with a complicated expression. In order to save a life, she still took it. After paying the silver, she walked over and bowed.

"***, Regent, the little girl will withdraw first!"

She turned and left quickly.

*** was very angry when he saw her attitude, and pouted his lips unhappily.

"You're helping her on purpose, aren't you?"

"I am the assistant!" Qi Sui'an ignored her attempts to get close to him, flicked his sleeves and turned away.

"Hey, you!" *** took a step forward and almost tripped over the threshold. Fortunately, the maid behind her was quick-witted and rushed forward to support her.

"Princess, please be careful."

***At this moment, she looked at Qi Suian's departing back like a resentful woman and bit her lip: "Lu Rui, why do you think the Regent is always so cold and indifferent to this princess?"

Although Lu Rui felt strange, she was still a princess after all, so she dared not say much and could only say vaguely: "The prince may be busy with official duties and always in a hurry, so he has no time to take care of the princess."

*** sighed softly, but her heart was surging. Since she was old enough to understand, everyone except the elders had been respectful to her, only Qi Sui'an always kept a certain distance from her and never took the initiative to approach her.

Lu Rui hesitated for a while before she cautiously reminded him, "Princess, I see that the prince seems to be treating you differently."

"Really?" *** didn't take her seriously. The last time she went back, she inquired about Shen Mengyao's background. After inquiring, she found it even more ridiculous.

A married woman, eagerly going to throw herself at a man! Why can you compete with her?

But it was really abominable that Xuelian was robbed this time. She would definitely teach Shen Mengyao a lesson.

After Shen Mengyao returned, she immediately invited a doctor. The doctor carefully checked the herbs and nodded hurriedly: "This is it. Boil it with water and take it. I will prescribe three more prescriptions. You will definitely see improvement later."

Shen Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your help."

Cuiwei boiled the medicine, brought it to him, pried open his mouth, and then poured it down his throat.

The next day after taking the medicine, he showed signs of improvement. His fever subsided and his complexion looked much better, but he was still unconscious.

After Shen Mengyao asked about the situation, she was about to go and take charge of the affairs of the mansion when a servant came to report outside the door.

"A guest has arrived and said he wants to see the princess."

"Who is he? So mysterious! It's too rude to come to my house without a visiting card." Shen Mengyao frowned.

"Why? You don't welcome me?"

As he was speaking, Qi Suian had already walked in with big strides, a hint of a smile on his angular face.

Shen Mengyao was horrified when she remembered that when she was divorcing, she was falsely accused of having a relationship with Qi Suian. That was why she deliberately kept her distance from him after the divorce.

"Why is the prince here?"

She suppressed her surprise.

Qi Sui'an felt like he was at home when he came here. He sat on the rocking chair in the yard, fanning himself with a feather fan, and crossed his long legs, looking lazy.

"What? Can't I come?" Qi Sui'an raised a playful smile and looked at Shen Mengyao for a moment.

Shen Mengyao's heart tightened, and she quickly changed the subject: "Of course not, what is the purpose of your visit, Your Majesty?"

Qi Sui'an gently waved his feather fan and said slowly, "I have nothing to do, so I am just strolling around. Didn't the princess say before that she wanted to discuss business with me?"

Shen Mengyao smiled faintly, poured him a cup of tea personally, and sat down in front of him.

"Your Majesty, do you believe in my sincerity?"

Qi Sui'an leaned back, fanning himself, and said in a light and calm tone, "I just want to see what you are up to, and what kind of ability you can bring out to discuss cooperation with this king?"

"What does Your Majesty need?" Shen Mengyao asked bluntly.

She heard that although Qi Suian was powerful, he was also honest. She thought he would talk about money, but she didn't expect him to stare into her eyes and smile.

"This prince has nothing to lack, except for a mistress in this palace!"

Shen Mengyao's smile froze on her lips in an instant.

"What do you mean, Your Highness? Do you want me to act as a matchmaker?" She looked away uncomfortably, but her heart was filled with indescribable emotions. Of course, she knew what Qi Suian meant, but she didn't dare to accept such a joke easily.

Seeing her reaction like this, Qi Sui'an's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and he wanted to tease her, speaking word by word.

"What do you mean, my king? You know it clearly in your heart, why are you pretending to be stupid?"
