Chapter 151: Trapped in the House
She kept struggling in her dream, a huge sadness swept over her. Under the strong emotional stimulation, she opened her eyes and saw her own bedroom. She touched the corner of her eyes and tears slid down her eyes and soaked the bedding.
It turned out to be just a dream...
But why did she have such a dream?
Could it be that she was thinking about Huang Shaotian and didn't want him to leave her, thinking about him day and night? That's why she had such a ridiculous dream.
Just as she was thinking about it, the door was pushed open, Cuiwei walked in quickly with a lamp in hand, sat beside the bed, and looked at her with a worried look on her face: "Princess, are you having a nightmare?"
Shen Mengyao came back to her senses, covered her chest and shook her head: "It's okay, maybe there are too many things happening recently, and the psychological pressure is a bit great, so..."
Cuiwei also understood this. She tucked the quilt in for her and said, "Princess, you need to rest well. You still have to take care of everything here."
Shen Mengyao came back to her senses and nodded: "Let's go to the palace tomorrow to have a look."
This night seemed extremely long. She tried hard to fall asleep in bed, but she couldn't. She got up at daybreak and found something to do. She lit a lamp and looked at the account book to calculate the recent accounts. She had to know whether the restaurant was making money or not. If there was a decline, she would have to think of other ways.
It was not until noon that she went to the Regent's Palace.
She entered through the side door, and almost no one saw her along the way. Bei Lan led her directly to the door of the bedroom: "The prince said that you don't need to inform us when you come in the future."
"This is not good." Shen Mengyao felt deeply that it was inappropriate.
"This is what the prince meant." Bei Lan replied with a smile.
Shen Mengyao sighed, nodded slightly, and walked in quickly.
He came at the wrong time. Doctor Su was treating him. After using the Heart Meridian Poison Forced Method, his complexion was no longer pale, black, or purple. He looked rosy and much healthier.
Shen Mengyao felt relieved as she felt that he was getting better day by day.
Qi Sui'an shook his shoulders, put on his scattered clothes again, looked at her indifferently, and said with a little distance in his voice: "What are you doing here?"
Shen Mengyao coughed and said, "I was a little worried when I woke up this morning, so I came to see the prince. I'm glad you're okay. It seems that Divine Doctor Su is really useful. The prince's health is getting better day by day."
"Thank you." Qi Sui'an said in a cold voice.
There was an awkward silence between the two of them for a moment. Shen Mengyao smiled awkwardly. Just as she was thinking about what words to say to break the awkwardness at the moment, Bei Lan suddenly came in hurriedly from outside.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess requests an audience."
Just when we were about to attack her, she came. She was looking in all directions and it seemed like she came with bad intentions.
Shen Mengyao was a little flustered: "I..."
"Go hide behind the screen." Qi Sui'an said as he stood up. He was still a little weak. He held on to the edge of the bed and barely managed to stay up, but even taking a step was difficult.
It seemed that the poison had not been cleared yet and his physical condition was very serious. Just as he stood in front of the table, the eldest princess rushed in hurriedly. She seemed to smell the fragrance of medicine in the air and frowned.
"I heard that you haven't been to court for a few days, saying that you were taking a leave. The palace sent a royal doctor to see you, but you refused. What's wrong with you? Is it serious?"
The eldest princess asked a lot of questions in one breath, not giving him any chance to breathe.
Qi Sui'an smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's just a slight cold, thank you Princess for your concern."
"Really?" The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and looked at him. In fact, she had already heard from her followers that the person who rescued Shen Mengyao that day was an extraordinary person with high martial arts skills, and many reinforcements arrived in time. She had not dared to make a sound these days, but when she looked carefully at Qi Sui'an's appearance, there was still a black air between his brows. Wasn't this a sign of poisoning?
Was it because of her poison?
The princess felt sorry for the man for a moment, but then she thought that he was injured for another woman and had one foot in the grave, and she gradually became angry.
"Brother Sui'an, I respectfully call you brother, are you targeting me like this?"
"I don't understand what the princess said." Qi Sui'an raised his cold eyes: "It seems that there is no conflict of interest between me and the princess, why did you come here in such a hurry?"
The princess was furious: "This morning, several officials were impeached at your instigation. Wasn't it you who did it?"
"Speaking of impeachment, are you talking about the censors? They follow the emperor's orders and can directly advise the emperor of his mistakes and impeach officials. This is their duty. If they are truly innocent, they will naturally not be wronged." Qi Sui'an smiled faintly.
The princess was very angry, but she tried to calmly say: "Brother Sui'an, you should know that I have been attracted to you for such a long time."
Qi Sui'an retracted his gaze and said, "I am only handling this impartially. If they are guilty, I will not forgive them. If they are truly wronged, I believe that everything will be fine soon after the investigation is fruitless."
This was a very pleasant sentence. The princess was so angry that she curled her lips and said meaningfully, "Brother Sui'an, I have known you for so many years. Don't just listen to what others say and become suspicious of me."
When Qi Suian did this, he had no intention of giving either of them any face. Moreover, if he didn't warn her properly, she would probably become even more aggressive.
He raised his eyes and sneered: "If it weren't for those who came to kill people, I would really believe your words. Those assassins in Guosi were sent by you, right?"
The princess's expression changed, but she quickly calmed down and pretended to be dumb and said, "Why don't I understand what the prince said?"
"The poison used by the princess is a secret in the former palace. Not many people can get it. Such a poison is really powerful." Qi Suian sneered and exposed her mercilessly.
The eldest princess was slightly stunned. In fact, she knew before that the people who rescued Shen Mengyao must be from the Regent's Palace.
But she had never expected that Qi Suian would reveal his true colors to her so soon. Seeing his dark complexion, weak voice, and the way he could barely stand, the princess became even more certain that he must have been poisoned.
Why would he be the secret guard who had been silently protecting Shen Mengyao? Oh my God, she almost killed him!
Qi Sui'an simply warned coldly: "Princess, I just want to tell you not to do these futile things. Next time, the bodies of those dead bodies will not be in the wilderness, but in front of the Golden Palace. Please make a holy judgment, Your Majesty."
