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

After hearing the voice, the two turned around and greeted at the same time.

"The county lord."

"Seeing that you two have a good relationship, I feel relieved." Shen Mengyao smiled faintly. Just as she was about to continue, Xiao Qi muttered, "Who has a good relationship with him?"

Shen Mengyao said helplessly: "I have something for you to do. I want to open a restaurant, but I just can't find a suitable shop. It happens that you two have nothing to do, so please help me take a look."

When it comes to business, Luo Chuan's expression becomes more serious: "So what do you want?"

Shen Mengyao thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It would be best if it could be built near the river, with a good view, and the other side should be spacious enough to accommodate many people."

"Okay." Luo Chuan wrote them down one by one: "I'll go find them tomorrow."

"Remember to bring Xiaoqi with you." Shen Mengyao reminded.

There were slight changes in the expressions of both of them, as if they just didn't like being with each other.

Late at night, the lights in Shen Mengyao's yard were still on. After drawing a brighter lamp, she quickly wrote the recipe on the paper.

There are many dishes that she remembered her mother would cook, and many dishes that were secret recipes of the palace, and she wrote down quite a few of them.

Cuiwei put down the teacup and went out without disturbing her.

Not far away from the tall building, one could see the lights of the Princess's Mansion. Qi Sui'an listened to the music and asked quietly, "Have you found out what happened today?"

Que Yue nodded: "I found out clearly that the princess did not treat them well at all. She even tried to sow discord between the two of them before leaving. In the end, Li Junfeng beat Meng Yuehuan!"

Qi Suian looked at the lights and sighed.

He still wasn't sure whether Shen Mengyao had really let go of Li Junfeng by doing these things or whether she just wanted to be different to attract his attention?

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Queyue couldn't bear it: "My Lord, don't drink too much late at night, it's harmful to your health."

"Stop talking too much." Qi Sui'an glanced at him coldly, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

Queyue shut up immediately.

She only hated that Shen Mengyao was a blockhead. She had calculated everything with the prince and left no room for negotiation, causing the prince to be heartbroken. She had never seen the prince like this before!

Early the next morning, Luochuan took Xiaoqi out.

Xiao Qi leaned against the carriage and yawned heavily: "Why are you out so early? What's yours won't be gone even if you run. What's not yours, there's no point in getting up so early. Let me go back and have some sleep."

"This matter that the princess has entrusted to us with great difficulty must be completed."

Luo Chuan had a stern expression on his face. He didn't care about Xiao Qi's complaints. He just glanced at him indifferently and continued driving the carriage forward.

Xiao Qi lay directly on the carriage board: "Call me when we get there."

The two of them shuttled through the bustling streets, and Luochuan's sharp eyes swept across every shop that might meet Shen Mengyao's requirements.

After arriving at the riverside, he saw a restaurant built by the river. Although the appearance was a little old, it had an excellent geographical location. The windows facing the river offered a panoramic view of the river, and there was a spacious open space behind the restaurant, which was enough to accommodate many people.

Luo Chuan stopped the carriage and woke Xiao Qi up: "Get up."

Xiao Qi rubbed her messy hair, followed him out of the carriage, and walked into the restaurant. The restaurant was decorated quite elegantly, revealing a sense of tranquility and harmony. Luo Chuan talked with the shopkeeper and asked about the price, lease period and other details of the shop.

He did not make a final decision immediately, but instead recorded all his understanding of the shop's advantages and disadvantages in a booklet for Shen Mengyao to choose from later.

Xiao Qi was listening to this and felt drowsy, yawning from time to time.

Seeing this, Luo Chuan frowned slightly, but didn't say much. He knew Xiao Qi's character very well. Although he was a little lazy, he was still a hand and could come in handy at the critical moment.

He told the shopkeeper to keep the shop for him for a day. The shopkeeper nodded and said, "You better hurry up. I never know when this popular shop will be rented out."

Luo Chuan knew that he said this just to raise the price, so he just smiled and didn't say anything.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, a carriage suddenly passed by on the gravel road beside the river, making a rustling sound. In the carriage, which was blown up by the river breeze, sat a beautiful woman, who was graceful and elegant, with extraordinary bearing.

His eyes turned cold. Isn't that a ***? Before, he asked him to duel with several other slaves and wanted to kill him. A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes and he followed him out.

Xiao Qi immediately chased after him: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"You go back first." Luo Chuan's eyes flashed, and he chased after him after saying this.

Xiao Qi felt something was wrong. From the moment he met him, he seemed to have no interest in anything. It was rare for him to be in this state, so he naturally felt uneasy about letting her leave alone.

He immediately followed up: "If you need any help from me, just tell me!"

"I want her to pay with blood." Luo Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi. Seeing some hesitation on her face, he said coldly, "I know you won't help me, so leave quickly. If I can't come back, tell the princess that I failed her expectations. If I have the chance in the future, I can ask a man named Sangge for the money I owe her."

"Sangge?" Xiao Qi was curious when he heard this name which didn't sound like Zhongyuan's. But when he looked up, the person had already walked away.

Of course, he couldn't just stand there and watch the other person get into danger, so he immediately chased after him.

"Look at all the guards around him. You can't succeed."

Luochuan remained unmoved.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Xiao Qi patted his chest and said, "I'll help you lead those guards away."

Luo Chuan frowned, hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Thank you."

They followed for a while and the carriage stopped on the road ahead.

*** got off the carriage with the help of his maid Lu Rui. He seemed to be in a good mood today and wanted to board a boat for a cruise on the river.

Xiao Qi seized this opportunity, rushed over, and bumped into the guards beside ***.

The guard pushed her away roughly and said, "Open your eyes! How dare anyone bump into me!"

Xiao Qi immediately nodded and bowed to apologize. When he turned to walk away, he found that the guard had not noticed that he had stolen the silver bag in his arms. He smiled at him and tossed the purse twice in his hand.

The guard was puzzled. After a moment's pause, he reacted instantly.

"Thief, how dare you steal my money!"

***The beautiful face showed displeasure: "He dared to move anyone from the Princess's Mansion. I think he doesn't want to live anymore. Catch him and sink him into the river."

At the command, several guards rushed out instantly and chased in the direction where Xiao Qi fled.

"Stop, don't run!"
