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

"That's enough." Shen Mengyao interrupted her: "Stop talking. Since you are in good health now and you don't want to be a slave, then go home."

The boy lowered his head, bit his lips tightly and said nothing.

Cuiwei rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't appreciate it and want to live in the Princess's Mansion?"

"That's not what I meant." The young man limped towards the door with his crutches.

Cuiwei didn't expect his character to be like this. She was also afraid that the young man would encounter some troubles after he went out. She said anxiously: "Do you know that my princess used the miraculous medicine White Jade Snow Lotus to save your life? This thing is rare and expensive. Don't you know how to repay the kindness of someone who saved your life?"

Shen Mengyao didn't expect Cuiwei to say this, and immediately stopped her: "I saved him out of my own will, and I didn't think about repaying him. Forget it, let him go, as long as he survives!"

She also didn't know why she saw him alone in the cage that day. He was no different from the slaves being sold.

When the young man heard this, his body stiffened slightly and he turned around: "In this case, I will work here. When I pay you back, I will leave!"

Cuiwei's words became more and more unforgiving: "What can you do with your body? You still need everyone to take care of you."

"That's enough, Cuiwei." Shen Mengyao took out a few taels of silver from her pocket and said, "I see that you have such a proud character, you must not be an ordinary person. I am not so unkind. If you have a conscience, just return the money to me when you get home. If you don't have a conscience, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. No one owes anyone anything."

The young man raised his eyes and looked at her, seeming to be touched by these words.

He thought about it for a while, but still didn't take the silver: "I'll work and pay you back!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Shen Mengyao looked at her empty hand and shook her head helplessly.

Cuiwei bit her lip: "Princess~"

"Okay, just let him go!" Shen Mengyao sighed: "I have more important things to do now."

Cuiwei had no choice but to give up.

Seeing that the day to deliver the medicinal materials was approaching, Shen Feimo was worried when he saw her change into men's clothes and came out: "Do you think this is reliable? Why do you want to trade in the suburbs of Beijing?"

"I asked them and they said that the warehouses in the suburbs of Beijing are cheaper. The land price in Beijing is very high and they can't afford the rent. If they put it in Beijing, they can't even afford the rent. No matter who they are, they will trade there."

Shen Feimo was really worried: "You go there as a girl..."

"Then brother will accompany me?" Shen Mengyao blinked her eyes and said in a naive tone, "With brother here, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"If I could go with you, I wouldn't have to persuade you like this!" Shen Feimo sighed, "I'm about to leave Beijing. Today, the grain and grass are leaving the warehouse. The emperor ordered me to count the grain and grass and load it onto the truck in the next few days."

Shen Mengyao sensed something was wrong. After the food and fodder were loaded onto the truck, didn't they have to be transported away?

"Didn't we agree to stay for fifteen days? How come it's so soon?"

Shen Feimo sighed, his eyes filled with reluctance: "The capital has been hit by a disaster, the situation is bad, and refugees are pouring in. I'm afraid it will get more and more chaotic, and there might be accidents when the grain carts are sent out. Then we have to suppress it with military force, and the people will be uneasy. The emperor ordered me to set off early."

Shen Mengyao felt tears welling up in her eyes: "Brother finally came back, and he said he would stay for fifteen days. Are you leaving before you've stayed long enough?"

"The situation changes rapidly, and there's nothing we can do about it." Shen Feimo rubbed her head and said jokingly, "Sister, you just can't bear to leave me! You're crying so hard? I haven't left yet. If I really leave one day, you'll cry like a tearful person!"

Shen Mengyao tried hard to hold back her tears: "Stop teasing me. Okay, brother, since you have official business to attend to, you don't have to worry about me. I'll go by myself!"

After saying this, she put on a hat, covering her face and making it even harder to tell whether she was a man or a woman. Cuiwei was dressed similarly and bowed with a smile.

"Don't worry, young master! I will take good care of the princess."

Shen Feimo sighed and watched them leave, then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

She specially rented a cart and went directly to the outskirts of Beijing. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with blooming flowers and singing birds.

Cuiwei held an umbrella to fan her, "It's very hot today, Princess, be careful not to get tanned."

Shen Mengyao gently pushed her hand away: "How can you be so delicate? I feel that the warmth of the sun is very comfortable. I used to guard the four corners of the yard and thought that I just needed to take good care of it. Now I see that the world outside is so vast."

Cuiwei nodded, looking very much in agreement.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, we finally arrived at a warehouse outside Beijing. There were several tiled houses here with a high platform built underneath, which looked waterproof and moisture-proof!

As soon as she jumped out of the car, a man came out. He was a dark-faced man who looked burly.

Cuiwei looked inside and asked, "Where are the herbs we want?"

"It's all in there." The dark-faced man replied, "Where's the balance?"

Cuiwei picked up the purse tied around her waist and counted out a few banknotes from it: "They are all here."

"Do you want to check the goods?" The dark-faced man looked around and saw that there was only one driver sitting on their cart, so he asked, "There are only two of you. How can you carry all these herbs?"

"I can pay you, please help me load it into the car." Shen Mengyao was doing business for the first time, and she had not considered this point. She had to make a suggestion, hoping that the other party would agree.

"Oh, it's just a matter of convenience!" The black-faced man's eyes flashed, and he made an inviting gesture: "Come in! Come in and check the goods."

Shen Mengyao and Cuiwei followed the black-faced man into the warehouse, where they saw a variety of medicinal herbs piled up neatly and in order, looking quite fresh. Shen Mengyao carefully checked them out, and found that the herbs were of high quality, corresponding to the herbs on her previous list, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"There's no problem with the medicinal herbs. Please help me load them into the car." Shen Mengyao said, handing over the silver bill in her hand.

The dark-faced man took the banknotes, counted them, and showed a satisfied and weird smile on his face: "Don't worry, we will start right away." He turned to the other big men in the warehouse and ordered: "Don't be idle, hurry up and start."

Several big men suddenly surrounded them, not heading towards the herbs, but towards the two of them.

Cuiwei instantly became alert, protecting Shen Mengyao behind her, and looked at them coldly: "Who are you? What do you want to do? I've given you all the money!"
