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

Qi Suian did not answer, but continued to ride forward until he was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city gate. Then he slowed down the horse and said in a cold voice.

"You know, what you did just now is very dangerous."

"What...what?" Shen Mengyao didn't react for a moment. She turned around suddenly and was startled when she met his cold eyes.

Qi Suian sneered.

"If you give money to other refugees, they will be jealous and will naturally ask for money. If that happens, the situation will get out of control and you will be the one in danger."

"I see." Shen Mengyao had witnessed the scene just now and knew that she had done something wrong. She sighed and said, "I didn't expect this to happen. Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I understand now."

Only then did Qi Suian loosen his arms.

When Shen Mengyao jumped off the horse, he still missed the soft and fragrant girl in his arms, but the feeling only lasted for a moment and soon disappeared.

"Now that we are safe, I will not disturb you any more. I will take my leave now!"

Shen Mengyao bowed gracefully, then turned and left.

Within two days, an epidemic broke out outside, and the palace could no longer conceal the truth. The entire capital was in a panic and under strict scrutiny. All the people wanted to find a way to survive in the capital, and the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital were struggling to think of a cure.

Cuiwei sprinkled the prepared medicine in every corner of the mansion, full of worry.

"Princess, will this really be okay?"

"The more precautions we can take, the better." Shen Mengyao sighed. A few days ago, Qi Suian sent her a lot of medicinal herbs. Now that the situation is serious, it's time for her to take action: "Go and ask later, are the prices of medicinal herbs outside soaring?"

Cuiwei put down the basin of medicine and wiped her hands: "Okay."

When she was about to go out, there was a knock on the door. She looked at the door vigilantly: "Who's outside?"

Li Junfeng's voice, which he had deliberately lowered, came over: "It's me."

"Why are you here?" Cuiwei did not open the door, but asked through the door: "The epidemic is spreading now. If you have nothing to do, don't come here."

After hearing the noise, Shen Mengyao walked down the stairs and walked over quickly. She frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"

Li Junfeng's voice sounded a little vague: "I left some things in the mansion and want to take them away."

Shen Mengyao knew that he had no good intentions coming to her house at this time, so naturally she would not agree.

"I have searched this house carefully, and nothing of yours is there."

Cuiwei coldly chimed in, "Ever since the clarification, you have been using my princess's money for food, clothing, and shelter. How is that possible? And your own things, whether they belong to you or not, were all paid for by my princess."

Li Junfeng gritted his teeth and said, "So you just want to watch me die here, right?"

"I didn't, it was your own choice!" Shen Mengyao's voice was icy cold without a trace of warmth.

Li Junfeng was a little annoyed: "You were so heartless that you watched me die outside without caring about me."

"It's useless for you to say these things. We have already divorced. Even if I bear the stigma, I will not care about you. Cuiwei, let's go in and tell the people in the mansion that no one is allowed to open the door during this period."

Shen Mengyao said this, turned around and left quickly!

Li Junfeng knocked on the door to no avail, and slammed it a few times in anger. After thinking it over carefully, he shifted his gaze to the wall next to the backyard. There were not many people in the yard over there, and no one would notice him if he jumped in.

After thinking for a moment, he waited until night and climbed up the wall with great effort.

He was holding some things in his hands. They were used by those patients with the plague. Whoever touched them would get sick!

There were a few folk doctors who had some understanding of the condition and even found prescriptions. He bought the medicine according to the prescriptions before the price of the medicine skyrocketed.

By then, Shen Mengyao would be sick and lying on bed, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of the situation and rush in?

Thinking in his mind, he landed steadily on the ground. While there was no one around, he walked to the well in the backyard and threw all the tea sets and pottery bowls into the well!

After looking around, he left triumphantly.

All of this fell into the eyes of the young man. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell Shen Mengyao.

Shen Mengyao was sitting under the candlestick counting the bills. She heard a knock on the door and looked up to see it was him. She looked a little surprised: "That's strange."

The boy gritted his teeth and finally spoke: "Just now I saw someone sneak into the backyard and throw something into the well."

"Really?" Shen Mengyao's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Do you know who that person is?"

"It seems he came here to make trouble this afternoon." The young man answered briefly, speaking sparingly.

Li Junfeng! He insisted on entering the Princess's Mansion, so he must have bad intentions.

Shen Mengyao found a few people who did rough labor, paid them some extra money, and asked them to find a way to fish out the things in the well. They wasted most of the night before they finally saw those things. Seeing some broken ceramic bowls, Cuiwei seemed very confused.

“Why were these things thrown into the well?”

Shen Mengyao was puzzled, but when she thought of her past life, she suddenly understood: "This should have been used by a patient."

When everyone heard this, they dropped the thing, took a step back, and covered their mouths and noses.

Shen Mengyao thought of her power and the fact that she was in charge of all the affairs in the mansion. After hearing that there was an epidemic in the capital, she set up strict access control and strictly prohibited the servants in the mansion from communicating with people outside, even Li Junfeng.

But later, she still contracted the disease and had no way to get medicine!

I was sick at that time and didn't have the energy to think much. Now that I think about it, no one in their house was infected with the disease, so how did she get infected?

There is only one possibility, that is, Li Junfeng, who wanted to kill him, was behind this. This man is really ambitious!

"Smash this thing and bury it!" Shen Mengyao ordered coldly, "Also, seal this well from today onwards, sprinkle boiling white vinegar into it every day, and no one is allowed to use it."

When everyone heard her so calm, they all felt more reassured.

"Yes!"

When she returned to the courtyard, Cuiwei was still indignant: "That beast actually harmed the princess like this, and the princess just ignored it? Let him get away with it?"

"Take care? It's useless! There's no evidence. Do we really have to let someone get sick after drinking the water to confirm that the water source is contaminated? Obviously this method is not safe!"

Shen Mengyao took a deep breath and said, "Just be careful."

When she quickly stepped into the yard, the young man was standing in the yard.

"I haven't asked you your name yet." She said casually, "But I still want to thank you for discovering it in time and avoiding disaster."
