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

Chapter 153 The Mysterious Man Late at Night

"Do you want Queyue to disguise herself and stay with me?" Shen Mengyao raised her eyebrows.

"This is the only way in the world today that will make me feel at ease." Qi Sui'an nodded with certainty: "Let him stay by your side to protect you. He's a new face, so others will naturally not speculate about the relationship between you and me."

Shen Mengyao pondered for a moment and finally nodded. She understood that Qi Suian's worries were not unnecessary. In this vortex of power struggle, more protection means more peace of mind.

"Okay, if Miss Queyue agrees, then let her follow me. If anything happens, at least there will be someone to report it to."

Next is Doctor Su’s side.

Shen Mengyao went to talk to him in person, and unexpectedly he agreed very readily. He patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."

When Queyue was brought in, she looked at him distrustfully: "Is this trick of yours reliable? Don't ruin my beauty."

Doctor Su snorted: "No one dares to question me yet. Sit still."

Shen Mengyao saw that Doctor Su's eyes were on her, and immediately raised her hand: "I have no intention of stealing your skills, so I'll leave first."

"You can't learn it either, so stay and help me." Doctor Su did it very smoothly.

Shen Mengyao naturally had no reason to refuse. Queyue, on the other hand, looked up and glanced at him: "What is the status of the princess? You can still use her for your own purposes."

"Okay, it's okay." Shen Mengyao was afraid that the two of them would start quarreling.

The thing that Doctor Su had prepared had been brought out from the kitchen. It was a large lump of sticky, transparent, and slightly flesh-pink gelatinous substance.

He used a small piece of wood to gently apply it on Queyue's face, and then used a small wooden stick to re-outline the contour.

This time, the face looked different from before.

He gently scraped away the gelatin on her face with his fingers. Half an hour later, Queyue opened her eyes. The familiar outline could still be seen on her face, but her eyebrows and eyes were very different from usual.

"This... doesn't feel that complicated, why did it change?"

Doctor Su said as he packed up his things: "The three parts of the human body and the five eyes are arranged differently. Sometimes, if you slightly change the distribution, it can make it look completely different from before."

Shen Mengyao looked at him curiously.

Even though Doctor Su didn't turn his head, he felt her gaze. He raised his head and smiled with a hint of teasing.

"I don't use this method. My face doesn't look like it used to be. Your makeup won't last long. You'll have to start over in two or three days at most. But it doesn't matter. I'll teach you slowly in the future."

Shen Mengyao didn't bother to get to the bottom of it.

She accompanied Qi Suian until he finished taking the medicine before leaving the Regent's Palace.

After she returned home, she arranged a courtyard next to her own for Queyue. There were several guards in the courtyard. It was enough for her to be close enough and arrive in time.

But she couldn't fall asleep. Recent events kept flashing through her mind. Qi Sui'an's pale and weak look lying on the hospital bed left a lasting impression on her.

She is still afraid now. What should she do if Qi Suian really leaves her?

This complicated feeling made her realize that her heart was no longer the same as before, and she no longer wanted to pretend to be in love.

But she didn't dare to take this step, for fear that there was a woman named Ali between them.

Lying in bed and unable to fall asleep, she suddenly smelled an unusual odor in the air and heard some scattered noises outside.

Although it is not clear, one can still detect clues in the quiet night.

She immediately stood up and walked to the door. The man seemed to not know the way and did not seem to be coming for her, so he passed by her window.

She didn't dare to make a sound, so she walked around the other person and went into the room to wake up Queyue.

Queyue was already alert. When she was woken up by someone, she immediately picked up the dagger beside her pillow, her pair of bright black eyes full of vigilance.

"Shh, it's me!"

Queyue responded and nodded, then lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong, Princess?"

"It seems like a stranger has entered the yard. Come with me to take a look." Shen Mengyao said and walked towards the door.

Queyue held her back worriedly, "Princess, it's too dangerous outside. Why don't you stay here and I'll watch."

Shen Mengyao shook her head: "In this situation, I feel more at ease with me by your side."

Queyue thought about it and stood up to protect Shen Mengyao behind her. Shen Mengyao pointed in the direction of the backyard and said, "Let's go there."

The two of them tiptoed through the courtyard shrouded in darkness. The dim moonlight could only vaguely illuminate the road ahead.

Behind the archway there was a small courtyard, which Shen Mengyao had given to Xiao Qi and Luo Chuan alone. Unexpectedly, the man in black went in this direction. Was he coming for them? Seeing that the princess couldn't harm her, was she going to harm the people around her?

Shen Mengyao suddenly became anxious.

When they arrived at the backyard, they saw nothing but silence, broken only by the occasional chirping of night birds in the distance. Shen Mengyao and Queyue looked at each other, and they saw the same determination and caution in each other's eyes.

The two of them approached the half-open door cautiously, their footsteps so light that they made almost no sound. Shen Mengyao's heartbeat quickened, and beads of sweat appeared on her palms. She knew very well that every step she took at this moment was related to the safety of Xiaoqi and Luochuan.

Before she got close, the door was suddenly pushed open. Queyue pulled out a gun and put it against the man's throat, but she never expected that this man was not a thief, but Luochuan.

Luochuan was also startled, but when he saw the two of them in the bright moonlight, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"My princess, why are you not sleeping so late at night?"

Shen Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you see anyone suspicious?"

"I was just about to get up for the night, and I didn't see anyone suspicious." Luo Chuan's eyes turned, as if he was thinking.

It’s not here, could it be with Xiaoqi?

But she is a weak woman. Shen Mengyao immediately gave Queyue a look.

Queyue nodded at her, broke into the room through the window, and jumped to the bedside. Xiaoqi, who heard the loud noise, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise.

"You you you... who are you?"

Shen Mengyao then remembered that Queyue had not met them since she changed her appearance. She was afraid of scaring Xiaoqi, so she immediately rushed in from the door: "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid, it's me, she is Miss Queyue."

"Ah? Why don't you look like that?" Xiao Qi rubbed her eyes. After waking up, she saw Luo Chuan standing at the door. She remembered that she hadn't bound her chest yet, so she got up wrapped in a quilt and said, "It's so late, why hasn't the princess gone to bed yet?"

"I saw a suspicious person coming this way, so I followed him to check. I guess you guys didn't encounter him?" Shen Mengyao's eyes moved back and forth between the two men's faces.
