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

When Shen Mengyao turned around, she happened to meet Qi Suian's eyes, which were half smiling. The radiant light in those eyes was impossible to see through or guess.

Shen Mengyao subconsciously avoided it and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me."

"You're welcome. I'm just being loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task." Qi Sui'an's words were cold without a trace of warmth.

"No matter what, I still want to thank His Majesty." Shen Mengyao glanced at the pile of medicinal herbs in the house, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face: "Can I borrow His Majesty's manpower for a while?"

"Bei Lan, help the princess move all the medicinal herbs out." Qi Sui'an understood what she meant and said casually.

Shen Mengyao thanked him gratefully.

Following Bei Lan's actions, the medicinal herbs were moved out of the house one by one.

The medicinal materials were arranged in categories, and Shen Mengyao began to record the required quantities and types on paper. Qi Sui'an sat beside her, watching her busy figure quietly, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

"Your Highness, everything is fine." Shen Mengyao raised her head and met his gaze. They were both slightly startled, then they looked away calmly.

"What do you need so many medicinal herbs for?" Qi Sui'an couldn't hold back his doubts and asked.

Naturally, Shen Mengyao had nothing to hide in front of him.

"Recently, many refugees have poured into the capital. Now that the weather is getting hotter, the refugees are suffering from floods and are prone to diseases. Taking these medicinal herbs, it is natural to take advantage of this time to make some money."

Qi Sui'an looked at her with deep eyes. She had a good vision, but she had no mercy on him. She actually took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune!

He smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Your Highness, aren't you interested in this business? I'd like to get you to join us." Shen Mengyao looked at him expectantly, her eyes as clear as autumn water staring at him.

Qi Sui'an couldn't resist this kind of gaze, so he looked away slightly and snorted, "This king is not interested."

Shen Mengyao's eyes rolled, and she suddenly had an idea. She had to get him into the group.

"It's a profitable business, why wouldn't the prince be interested? If the prince were to purchase it in his own capacity, he would surely be able to buy a lot of medicinal herbs. Instead of letting the eldest prince do this kind of business, why don't we share in it?"

Qi Suian raised his eyebrows.

Shen Mengyao was still persuading him: "Your Majesty, this is the first cooperation I have discussed with you. If it succeeds, we can also make money."

Moreover, the prices of these medicinal materials are not expensive when they are purchased in large quantities. Even if they are adjusted downward according to the current market prices, there is still profit to be made. I don't know what the people who use this to make dirty money are thinking. They are truly greedy.

Qi Suian narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"Do you really just want to make money from me?"

Shen Mengyao replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I am a weak girl, I only have some ideas to make money. I cooperate with the prince to make money. The prince is in the court. If there is any movement in our mansion, I hope the prince will let me know clearly."

"Do you really think so?" Qi Sui'an looked at her with some distrust in his eyes.

He was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, and he had witnessed with his own eyes how Shen Mengyao was determined to marry Li Junfeng despite the Empress Dowager's dissuasion.

He still had some doubts in his heart, but Shen Mengyao smiled and nodded: "Of course, I chose to divorce at the beginning, just like I lived my life again."

What she said was half true and half false.

Qi Sui'an nodded in understanding, thought for a moment, and agreed to her.

"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

She and Qi Suian finalized a preliminary cooperation plan. Qi Suian, relying on his status as regent, purchased medicinal materials in large quantities in the capital, and she would take care of other matters.

At that moment, she smiled vividly in the breeze, with shallow dimples on her lips, which was very touching.

Qi Sui'an was stunned for a moment.

When Shen Mengyao met his infatuated gaze, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. She touched her face. Could it be that when she smiled, she looked more like the so-called white moonlight he mentioned?

Qi Suian then realized his own gaffe, and he retracted the smile in his eyes, becoming even colder.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little subtle.

Bei Lan came over and broke the awkward atmosphere between them: "Your Majesty has already loaded the car."

"Escort the medicinal herbs to the Princess's Mansion." After Qi Suian gave the order, he climbed onto the horse by himself. The green figure was elegant and handsome, like a beautiful painting between the sky, earth and mountains.

She was slightly distracted, and only came back to her senses after Cuiwei reminded her, and said in a deep voice: "Go back!"

Because of an unexpected event, Shen Feimo did not stay in the capital for a full half month. The food and grass had been packed the next day. After receiving the imperial order, he had to set off as soon as possible.

Nanny Lan held his hand, tears streaming down her face. "I've been counting the days with my fingers, and you haven't even stayed for half a month. Why are you leaving now? When will you be back this time?"

"The emperor has ordered me to do it. As for when I will be back, I can't say for sure!" Shen Feimo was also very reluctant to leave. He held her old hand and said, "Mammy, you must take good care of yourself and wait for my father and I to return to the court."

Nanny Lan tried hard to hold back her tears, not wanting to make them worry: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it, and I finally have some idea!"

The people outside have urged him several times: "Major General, the emperor has ordered you to leave quickly. You should hurry up or the emperor will be unhappy if he finds out."

Shen Feimo sighed, and walked out the door, looking back every few steps.

Outside the gate, Shen Mengyao rode a horse and wiped the tears from her eyes: "Brother, I will take you to the city gate."

"Okay!" Shen Feimo did not refuse his kindness and looked around.

"Who are you waiting for, brother?" Shen Mengyao asked.

Shen Feimo shook his head, jumped on his horse, and waved his hand to command: "Leave the city!"

A large group of people came in a mighty force. Fearing that the refugees outside the city might suddenly attack, the emperor specially sent a team of imperial guards to protect them. The imperial guards would only return once they were on the official road.

Along the way, Shen Mengyao seemed to have endless things to say.

"Brother, you must pay attention to safety. Swords and guns are ruthless on the battlefield. Never underestimate the enemy. The most important thing is to guard against hidden arrows." Shen Mengyao's eyes were full of worry.

Shen Feimo smiled back, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Don't worry, I'll be careful. But you, take good care of yourself in the capital, don't let father and grandmother worry."

Shen Mengyao nodded. She knew that her brother was a thoughtful person and would definitely protect her, but she was more worried that she didn't know when her brother would return.

As they were talking, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from the Qianli Changting in the distance.
