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

The sharp arrow flew past Shen Mengyao's side and hit Chang Wu's ear.

"The county master..."

Followed by Cuiwei's heart-wrenching roar.

Shen Mengyao was pulled down by Chang Wu's strength and took a few steps back, teetering on the edge of the cliff.

In the dark night, a green shadow came through the fog, floating to her side as fast as a wisp of smoke, grabbed her arm and held her in his arms.

The familiar and pleasant fragrance of bamboo leaves floated into her nose, and the thrilling night became completely quiet at this moment.

Shen Mengyao's heart seemed to be gently wrapped at this moment, and all the fear and panic gradually dissipated with the fragrance of bamboo leaves.

She looked up, and in the faint moonlight, she saw the face that was so close to her. It was cold, handsome, and there was infinite majesty in his sharp eyes!

"I just..." Qi Suian wanted to explain that it was not that he didn't care about her life or death, but he wanted to confuse the bad guys!

When Shen Mengyao heard his clear and pleasant voice, which sounded like a banished immortal, she instantly came back to her senses from her dreamlike state. She took a step back, avoided his embrace, and smiled faintly, "Your Highness, I am deeply grateful for saving my life."

Seeing a hint of alienation in her words, Qi Suian wanted to explain again, but Bei Lan rushed up from the cliff with the person in his arms.

He threw Chang Wu heavily in front of Qi Suian like throwing a tattered rag.

Under such momentum, Chang Wu trembled like a sieve and his lips quivered.

It's just a paper tiger, it will break if torn!

"Your Highness, the person has been captured. What should we do with him?" Bei Lan knelt on one knee and asked seriously.

Cuiwei came forward with a cloak and wrapped it around Shen Mengyao.

Chang Wu had lost his arrogance by this time, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Princess, please spare my life. I swear this is the first time, and I will never dare to do it again."

Shen Mengyao snorted coldly.

"Today, if you are the knife and I am the meat, will you let me go?"

Chang Wu made up all kinds of lies to survive and nodded suddenly.

"Princess, I dare not hurt you, but there is a patient in my family who needs a lot of money for treatment. I have no choice but to do this. I hope that the princess will spare my life because this is my first offense."

He cried so hard that tears came out, and his performance seemed real.

If Shen Mengyao had not learned from the information they revealed that the person behind the scenes must know her very well, she would probably have believed his crocodile tears!

"Who is behind this?" she asked coldly!

Chang Wu naturally didn't want to say it, but he was also afraid of aggravating his crime, so he quickly denied it!

At this moment, Cuiwei looked at his figure, a hint of doubt suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she frowned and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere!"

Because the time was close, she remembered it instantly and made an expression as if she had suddenly realized something: "Aren't you close to Meng Yuehuan? Is she the one behind you?"

Chang Wu's face suddenly turned ugly!

"No, no, I..."

Shen Mengyao narrowed her eyes: "At this point, do you still want to protect her?"

Chang Wu paused dejectedly and said nothing.

Shen Mengyao glanced at him and smiled faintly: "It's rare to be so infatuated, but are you willing to gamble with me? If you win, you can live! If you lose, you have to confess everything."

Chang Wu thought for a moment and raised his head, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"How to bet?"

"Let's bet on whether Meng Yuehuan is sincere. Look at what you are doing now, is it worth it?" Shen Mengyao laughed.

Chang Wu made up his mind, hardened his heart and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's bet."

The moonlight was like silver, and the horses walked slowly on the mountain road. Without the tense atmosphere, I realized that the scenery in the deep mountains here was very beautiful. The leaves were dense now, and the shadows of the trees were dancing along the way, cutting the moonlight into countless small sequins.

After walking a long way, Qi Sui'an snorted coldly and said, "Do you think Li Junfeng is not involved and plan to let him go?"

"Without Li Junfeng, how could he know me so well?" Shen Mengyao's cold eyes flashed a bitter smile: "Besides, he needs money so much, how could he not be tempted?"

After Shen Mengyao finished speaking, the surroundings seemed to be a little quieter, with only the sound of horse hooves and the rustling of leaves in the night wind interweaving together. She turned her head to look at Qi Suian, and her cold eyes showed a bit of complex emotions, including helplessness towards the coldness of human nature and determination to expose all this.

"Things have come to this point. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to see them fight each other?"

Qi Sui'an heard this and glanced sideways, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew Shen Mengyao's intelligence and tenacity, and he also knew that she would not easily let go of anyone who hurt her.

So, he nodded gently and said, "In this case, I will watch this good show to the end!"

"If Your Majesty is interested in this, I will accompany you." Shen Mengyao smiled lightly.

In the courtyard, after hearing the noise, Meng Yuehuan nervously went to the back door. Seeing that it was Chang Wu, she was immediately frightened: "Why are you here? The princess has been kidnapped, and the city is in a state of panic. If you are fine, you'd better not run around, so as not to attract other people's attention."

Chang Wu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The princess was rescued by a mysterious person, and my face was also seen. I can't stay in the capital anymore. I came to find you just to take you away."

"What?" Meng Yuehuan took a step back. If she hadn't seen the anxious look on his face, she would have yelled at him.

It's simply incapable of accomplishing anything, and always causes trouble. How hateful!

Chang Wu had already had suspicions in his heart. At this moment, seeing her attitude, he became even more nervous: "What do you mean? Are you going to use me and then throw me away?"

"I didn't say that." Meng Yuehuan insisted.

But her wandering eyes seemed to indicate that she was thinking this way!

"Then go pack your things now and follow me."

"But we are both penniless, where can we go? You, you can't let me suffer with you!" Meng Yuehuan's eyes turned and became righteous.

Chang Wu now only wants freedom. He thinks of what Shen Mengyao said, that as long as Meng Yuehuan is willing to go with her, it will be a test of her sincerity towards him, and then this crime can be forgiven.

He was afraid of being held accountable, so he took advantage of the fact that they were alone and threatened with gnashing teeth: "You don't want to come with me? Don't blame me for exposing your crimes!"

Meng Yuehuan's face turned cold: "Are you threatening me?"

"You're the one who pushed me into this situation. Now there's no way you can get away with it."

At this point, Chang Wu no longer cared about his face. He just wanted to survive, that's all.

"To murder a prospective husband with a slow-acting poison is a serious crime for a woman. The husband's family can even handle the matter on their own without reporting it to the police."
