After a tragic death and rebirth, I became the regent's favorite

"In the past few years, my impression of her was that she was hiding behind Shen Lian'er, and I can't remember anything special about her. I guess at that time, she was just keeping a low profile."

Xiao Xuan couldn't explain why, but she felt something was wrong. However, she couldn't tell where this feeling came from.

"There are many ways to keep a low profile, but this kind of complete change in personality and momentum is definitely not one of them."

Xiao Linchuan was still quite skeptical about this. After all, he cared about everything concerning Shen Moyu.

For so many years, she has never left Xiao Linchuan's control. It seems that she has changed suddenly. But that's not right. Rather than saying that, it would be better to say that she started to become different after she fell from the rockery.

"So what is the little uncle going to do?"

Xiao Xuan finally understood the hidden meaning of Xiao Linchuan's words, "In fact, no matter how things change, at least the current Mo You is much better than the previous Shen Mo You, isn't she? Why should the little uncle be so entangled?"

Xiao Xuan actually understood what Xiao Linchuan was thinking. She also understood why Xiao Linchuan must know when Shen Moyu started to change.

It is very important to Xiao Linchuan whether the little girl who saved his life in childhood is still the same person.

"Xuan'er, people are different from each other. Just like Mo Xinchen, if he still looks the same as he does now, but one day, his temperament, eyes, and even the way he does things are completely different from before, what would you think?"

Human nature is like this. When it doesn't happen to them, they always say nice things and say whatever is nice to hear. As for the rest, what does it matter?

Xiao Xuan wisely shut up. Xiao Linchuan was right. If this happened to Mo Xinchen, she would be like Xiao Linchuan now, wanting to find out the truth at all costs.

"Little uncle, there is not much time left before Xiao Ting goes to the Mingzhen border. I will go back and make preparations first."

Xiao Xuan tried to find an excuse to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Linchuan, "Xuan'er, you should reconsider going to Dazhao. I'll give you two more days. I don't want you to regret it. Mo Xinchen is still waiting for you."

"I understand, little uncle!"

Xiao Xuan's back froze for a moment, then she smiled, "Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Little uncle, we are actually the same."

"Jie Li, go and look after Chong Lou. I don't want anything strange to happen again in Da Zhao."

After Xiao Xuan left, Xiao Linchuan's expression immediately changed, and his eyes became cold. "It seems that he has his own ideas."

"Master, Chonglou can't think straight for a while, please give him some time..."

Xie Li was anxious to explain for Chonglou in front of Xiao Linchuan, but Xiao Linchuan shook his head and said, "Don't beg for him. I know what's going on."

Knowing that no matter what he said, as long as Xiao Linchuan made up his mind, there would be no room for maneuver, Jie Li nodded in understanding, hoping that Chonglou would not do anything too extreme.

"I know what to do now."

……

As the birthday banquet of Emperor Mingzhen got closer, the palace gradually became busy. Although Empress Su Mojie wanted to torture Concubine Ruan and force her to copy Buddhist scriptures every day, she would not make it too difficult for her at this critical juncture, because everything had to give way to Emperor Mingzhen's birthday banquet.

"Mother, why did you let Concubine Ruan take charge of Father's birthday banquet? Her son Xiao Ling is so popular now that I am outshined by him..."

Xiao Qi knelt in front of Queen Su Mojie in the main hall of Jingning Palace. Before he could finish his complaint, Queen Su Mojie slapped him in the face, "You bastard!"

Xiao Qi, who was beaten, covered his face and looked at his mother in confusion, "Why did you beat me, mother? I don't think I said anything wrong."

"Don't you know what you said was wrong?"

Queen Su Mojie narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly, "My prince, my prince, I have worked so hard on you, but I didn't expect that you would teach such a thing. In addition to competing with Xiao Ling for your father's favor, can you compete for something else?"

"But mother, didn't you say that as long as I get the favor of the emperor, my position will be secure?"

Crown Prince Xiao Qi was too obedient. He had no ideas of his own and just did whatever the Queen told him to do.

But being a crown prince is not that easy, and the queen had not expected that the crown prince whom she had raised since childhood would turn out to be such a horrible person.

"Don't you know how to draw inferences from one example? What's a birthday party? If your father knew that you, as the crown prince, had to fight with your brother for a small birthday party, what would he think?"

The queen just felt that she had a headache. Looking at the increasingly confused and uneasy prince, she felt helpless and regretful. She regretted why she did not choose Xiao Ting in the first place. Although that son was not so obedient, at least he was smart and would not often force her to clean up the mess.

"Your son is stupid, please tell me, mother."

Xiao Qi became more and more uneasy. In recent years, because his younger brothers in the palace had grown up, he, the crown prince, had to always be on guard as if treading on thin ice, and would be frightened at the slightest disturbance.

"Forget it, forget it. It's all my fault that you are here today. How can I have the face to scold you?"

The Queen sighed. She really didn't know what to do with Xiao Qi. "Since Xiao Ling is willing to take charge of your father's birthday banquet, just let him take charge."

Xiao Qi nodded obediently, "Yes, I understand."

"Besides, even if you give it to him, Xiao Ling will have to take it. Concubine Ruan, huh... I have tolerated her for a long time."

Xiao Qi felt fear and strangeness when he saw his mother like this. He knelt on the ground and trembled even more.

In fact, sometimes, he really wanted to tell Queen Su Mojie that he didn't want to be the crown prince anymore, but he didn't dare.

The position of Crown Prince was obtained by the Queen and the Wuyang Marquisate with great effort and all means. If he said it, he would be abandoned regardless of whether the Queen Su Mojie agreed or not. He didn't dare to do such a thing.

"Mother, is my marriage to the daughter of the Shen family still valid? I heard that my seventh brother has been making small moves because of this matter. I am afraid that if this continues, it will affect the relationship between the brothers."

In fact, Xiao Qi still values ​​his younger brother Xiao Ting very much. It's just that he has been brainwashed by Queen Su Mojie for so many years, which has caused him to ignore Xiao Ting's feelings most of the time.

"Brotherly feelings? Hahaha..."

Queen Su Mojie laughed as if she heard a funny joke, "Qi'er, you are the crown prince, the heir to a country, how can you have any brotherly feelings? Are you worthy?"

"Mother, it's ok for the others, but my seventh brother is also yours. He and I are brothers, so why can't I do that?!"
