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

"So I can give you some time to think it over carefully."

Emperor Ming Zhen saw that Xiao Linchuan seemed to be somewhat relaxed, and began to be more friendly, "Royal brother, you are my youngest brother, and I don't want us to be separated. When my father was alive, he loved you the most, so I treat you better than my other brothers, right?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say so much. I will not change my decision, no matter what you think. But I only want Shen Moyou. As for the other noble ladies in the imperial city, Your Majesty can arrange marriages however you want, but don't consider me."

Xiao Linchuan had said everything. Emperor Mingzhen's face, which had been smiling a little, turned completely cold. "Xiao Linchuan, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."

"Your Majesty, I am this kind of person, but you have not noticed it over the years. It is getting late, Your Majesty, please rest early. I will take my leave!"

Xiao Linchuan did not continue to negotiate. He bowed lightly and left. However, just as he reached the door of the imperial study, he heard the sound of porcelain scattering on the ground from inside.

"Your Highness, why are you doing this? His Majesty has always been soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will have a hard time in the future."

Eunuch An had been waiting outside. When he saw Xiao Linchuan coming out, he couldn't help but persuade him, "I have watched you and Your Majesty grow up. I really don't want to see you two become enemies."

"Eunuch An, this is my character, you don't have to worry."

He knew that Eunuch An had good intentions, because Xiao Linchuan did not say anything cold to him. However, Eunuch An was serving Emperor Mingzhen after all, so he did not say much.

Eunuch An stopped at that point. Since the other party didn't listen, he wouldn't say anything else.

After coming out of the imperial study, Xiao Linchuan did not leave the palace directly, but went towards Ziyun Palace.

Ziyun Palace.

"Mo You, it was too thrilling just now. Next time I will never let you take risks again. No matter what you say, it will be useless."

Xiao Xuan was still a little scared. If they had come later, the consequences would have been disastrous. Besides, it was obvious that Xiao Ting wanted to kill her.

"Xuan'er, don't worry, I know what's going on. Even if you don't come, they can't really hurt me."

Shen Moyu felt warm in her heart. Xiao Xuan was able to do this for her just because of Xiao Linchuan's request.

But her closest family would choose to abandon her without hesitation because of their status and power. The contrast made her feel heartbroken.

"That's true, but you'd better be more careful in the future. After all, even if you treat others with sincerity, they may not treat you the same way. If you let him go once, then next time, Xiao Ting will come up with some conspiracy to deal with you."

What Xiao Xuan said does make some sense, especially after this incident.

Xiao Ting has always been vindictive. Tonight, he was so humble in front of Emperor Mingzhen and the Queen. One can guess that he will not let it go.

"It's too early to think about these things now, but don't worry, I will take precautions before they happen."

Shen Moyu was not ungrateful. She knew Xiao Ting better than anyone else and knew what kind of person he was.

However, Emperor Mingzhen and the Empress obviously wanted to protect him. At least before he returned from the border, Xiao Ting must be safe and sound. Otherwise, if something happened, she would probably be the first person to be suspected.

"It's better to take precautions before they happen, but can you change your bad habit of doing everything by yourself?"

Xiao Linchuan's somewhat helpless voice came from behind the two of them. The moment Xiao Xuan saw him, she couldn't help but blush, "Little Uncle..."

"Why are you crying?"

Xiao Linchuan felt a little distressed when he saw Xiao Xuan with red eyes. "I will naturally get back what happened to you this time."

"But little uncle, Xiao Ting almost hurt Mo You. I'm sorry, I was too careless this time. I shouldn't have listened to Mo You and my mother."

Xiao Xuan actually felt more self-blame. She had not expressed much in front of Shen Moyu just now, but she had always relied on Xiao Linchuan.

As soon as she saw him, she let go of all her grievances and sadness, and she wished she could just let him tie the guy up and bring him over to vent her anger.

"You're right. You did a great job. If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. So don't blame yourself, okay?"

Xiao Linchuan reached out and patted Xiao Xuan's head to comfort her, "And don't blame your mother. She has no bad intentions. She has just been suppressed by the Queen for too long in the palace, so she is eager to fight back."

"I know, mother can't possibly harm me."

Xiao Xuan also nodded in agreement. In this palace, anyone could harm her except Concubine Ruan, because Concubine Ruan truly treated her and Xiao Ling as her lifeblood.

"By the way, isn't His Royal Highness the Regent outside the palace? How did he get together with Your Majesty? He was too fast. Could he have been guarding the palace the whole time?"

It was so fast that Shen Moyu couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Linchuan had been guarding the palace since she entered it.

Although Xiao Linchuan felt guilty for a moment about Shen Moyou's questioning, he nodded and admitted it directly, "I did enter the palace early in the morning. When Xuan'er sent someone to me, I was playing chess with His Majesty in the imperial study."

"why?"

Shen Moyu was a little puzzled. She had just entered the palace, but why was there such a commotion? Was Xiao Linchuan really too nervous?

"No reason, Shen Moyou, I told you that you can do whatever you want, but you can't joke about your own life. You were too careless about what happened tonight."

Xiao Linchuan was also a little angry, but more of it was helplessness. He couldn't understand why Shen Moyu had to choose a difficult path when he could have taken other paths.

Clearly, with just one sentence, so many people were willing to fight for her, but she put herself in danger again and again. This made Xiao Linchuan feel powerless.

"I was too confident in myself and thought that the queen would at most make things difficult for me. I didn't expect Xiao Ting to be so bold. I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time."

Shen Moyu was not as confident as before, because she also understood that Xiao Linchuan really cared about her. It was not that she was heartless, but sometimes she could not respond.

"I'm not trying to blame you, I just want you to know that I don't want you to be in danger."

A warm smile appeared on Xiao Linchuan's face. This time, Shen Moyu did not show all his thorns to him, which was good.

Shen Moyou nodded in response, then changed the subject and asked, "I know, but you must have had an unpleasant conversation with His Majesty tonight. What did he say?"
