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

"It's good that you have this intention." The Queen Mother patted her hands and looked into her eyes, becoming more kind and gentle.

Shen Mengyao said in a low voice: "Queen Dowager, Mengyao has been with you for a few days. It is time for her to go home. Mengyao plans to leave the palace today."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "That's right, it's not good for you to always live in your parents' home after you get married."

Shen Mengyao was also filled with reluctance in her heart: "When I have time in the future, Mengyao will definitely enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother and play the piano for you."

"It's a good idea to have this in mind." The Queen Mother smiled and patted her hands.

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "By the way, I heard the emperor mention it yesterday. He said that your elder brother was going to return to the court to report on his work. The emperor said that it was bitterly cold at the border, so he allowed him to stay in the capital for a month so that you two could have a good reunion."

Shen Mengyao looked up in shock, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her poor brother and father, he hadn't seen them for a long time, and in his previous life, they were framed and died, and they died with hatred in their hearts.

At that time, she had severed her relationship with the empress dowager, and her natal family had no one to turn to. She had nowhere to turn to. The meritorious family of the Marquisate fell into decline overnight. Perhaps it was because of this that Zhu dared to take real action against her. Now that she thinks about it, her father and brother are loyal to the country, how could they possibly participate in treason? It could only be the villain around them who planned this treason that shocked the court and the public.

And Li Junfeng was the most suspicious! She helped him ascend to the top, and his father and brother promoted him in the military camp, all for her sake, but they didn't expect that they raised an ungrateful person!

Seeing her stunned, the Queen Mother smiled and joked with Fu Qing beside her: "Look, you haven't seen your brother for so many years, you are so happy that you are almost silly."

"Yes, it's rare for a family to meet." Fu Qing smiled with his hands covering his mouth before saying, "My princess, your wish has come true. You must spend more time with your family."

"That's what I should do." Shen Mengyao nodded, took out a handkerchief from her waist, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry to make the Queen Mother laugh."

The Queen Mother looked at her distressedly, took her hand in her own, and said with concern: "You lost your mother when you were young, and your father and brother were away all year round because they had to serve the country. Since you entered the palace at the age of five, you have only seen your father a few times. It's really pitiful."

Shen Mengyao smiled and leaned on her shoulder: "With the Queen Mother caring so much about Mengyao, Mengyao has no regrets."

The Queen Mother sighed: "You have suffered so much. When the border is peaceful, I will ask the Emperor to call back your father so that you and your family can be reunited."

Seeing this, Shen Mengyao immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "For the sake of the court, my father and brother have been guarding the border for many years. They don't feel hardship or tiredness. How dare Mengyao complain? Everything is more important to the court."

The Queen Mother looked at her and nodded heavily: "Mengyao, you are really sensible!"

Indeed, after experiencing a lifetime, she is no longer a fearless young girl who acts recklessly based on her passion alone.

In this life, she only cares about her family, friends, and relatives. As long as they are happy and worry-free, what does she matter?

After dinner, she left Xingqing Palace. Her brother's return this time reminded her of the most important thing in her previous life.

In her previous life, her father and brother were framed and died. She was in the back house and didn't even see her father and brother for the last time. She had no idea what had happened. Although she now suspects that Li Junfeng was involved, how could he have such connections in the court at that time that he could frame the meritorious marquis?

There must be a bigger figure behind this!

It’s a pity that as a woman she cannot enter the court and has no way of finding out the whole story. If she repeats the same mistake as in her previous life, she cannot guarantee that she will still be able to save herself.

While she was thinking, the sedan chair had stopped at the palace gate. She got off the sedan chair, but saw Qi Suian striding into the palace.

She asked the bearer beside her, "Does the Prince Regent often come to the palace?"

The sedan bearer replied, "The regent is extremely trusted by the emperor. Whenever there are any issues that require discussion in the court, the regent and several ministers are invited to the palace for discussion. I often see this when I pass by here."

So that's how it is. She took a deep breath and suddenly felt that maybe she had said something too harsh a few days ago. The only person she could join forces with in the court was Qi Sui'an.

"Okay, you go down first."

Shen Mengyao waved her hand and stood at the palace gate waiting.

She didn't tell anyone that she was going back, so it didn't matter if she returned late. At night, when the palace gate was filled with gloomy air and dark clouds covered the sun, she heard a burst of discussion at the gate, as if they were discussing state affairs.

Seeing a large group of people coming out, she immediately hid behind a wall pillar to conceal her figure.

Qi Sui'an seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head and said, "This matter cannot be settled in a day or two. It's late tonight, so why don't you go back and have a good rest? It won't be too late to reach a conclusion another day."

Everyone answered yes and left in a hurry.

When the sound of the wheels disappeared on the long street, Qi Sui'an said with cold eyes: "Have you seen enough? If you have, come out!"

Shen Mengyao walked out slowly and bowed: "Your Majesty."

"It's so late and you haven't left yet. Are you waiting for me on purpose?" Qi Sui'an just said it casually, intending to embarrass her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mengyao nodded slightly and admitted: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am waiting for you on purpose."

When Qi Sui'an heard this, the smile on his face became more mocking: "Oh, I thought that after that day, the princess would no longer pay attention to me. I want to understand but I can't."

Shen Mengyao blushed a little bit at what he said. He calmed himself down, cleared his throat and said, "I have something to discuss with the prince!"

Qi Suian looked at her deeply.

"Follow me up."

After saying that, he got on the carriage first.

Shen Mengyao took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and got on the carriage. The carriage started moving. The sound of the wheels turning was particularly clear in the night, and each other's breathing and heartbeats were also clearly audible.

Shen Mengyao was the first to break the immersion and said, "Your Highness, I want to discuss cooperation with you. My father is a duke. If we can help each other in the court, it will be an extra help to both of us. Moreover, I know the character of my father and brother very well. They are upright and will never do anything to harm the court."

Qi Sui'an narrowed his eyes and glanced at her: "Oh, it's really unexpected that you told me this!"

Shen Mengyao said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I have no other request but to wish my father, brothers and family members to be safe. That is why I dare to ask Your Majesty for cooperation. No matter what, I just hope you can consider it carefully."
