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

"I will go at dawn, Madam, it is getting late, I will help you go in and get some sleep."

Feicui's face was full of concern for Queen Su Mojie, "Your eyes are starting to turn blue and black."

Queen Su Mojie was very pleased with Feicui's words. "Then I will go in and sleep for a while."

Xiyue Palace.

Concubine Ruan also had a sleepless night after returning to the palace. She couldn't help but feel scared. Even the first-class maid Qingci beside her felt a little sorry for her. "Your Majesty, Miss Shen is safe and sound. You don't need to blame yourself like this."

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let her take risks. If anything happens to her, how will I compensate her?!"

Concubine Ruan's face turned pale, and she held Qingci's hand tightly. Qingci looked a little uncomfortable with the pain, but she still endured the pain and comforted Concubine Ruan, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess will not blame you, and His Royal Highness the Regent will not blame you either. They all know that you didn't mean it, so why bother..."

"Qingci, I'd better go to Ziyun Palace and explain to Moyou in person."

In fact, Concubine Ruan was not afraid of Shen Moyou, nor was she afraid that Xiao Linchuan would blame her, but she was worried about affecting her image in Xiao Xuan's heart, "Otherwise, I'm afraid Xuan'er will feel uncomfortable with me."

"Mo You, listen to me. I told you that my mother would have some crazy thoughts."

Xiao Xuan's timely appearance made Qingci breathe a sigh of relief. When Concubine Ruan looked up, there were still tears on her face.

Shen Moyu was extremely curious about Concubine Ruan. In her previous life, she only knew that Concubine Ruan was the most favored concubine in the harem. Apart from that, she also died of depression not long after her daughter, the Fourth Princess, married to Dazhao as a princess.

Now it seems that the story of Concubine Ruan dying of depression is probably fake, but the story of Concubine Ruan going to Dazhao for marriage is probably true.

"My daughter has met the noble concubine."

Shen Moyou still bowed respectfully. Seeing this, Concubine Ruan quickly helped her up and said, "Moyou, there are no outsiders here. You don't have to be polite to me."

"Yes, Mo You, if you continue to be so polite, I'm afraid my mother will feel guilty to death."

Xiao Xuan teased her mother with a smile, but Concubine Ruan really loved her daughter. She was still smiling even when Xiao Xuan said that, without any sign of being angry.

"Mo You, I was too careless about what happened tonight. I didn't expect Xiao Ting to be so bold as to bring people in."

As Concubine Ruan spoke, she couldn't control her trembling and pale face, "I am sorry for you."

"Your Majesty, why do you say that? No matter how strange this matter is, it cannot be blamed on you. When I agreed to it, I knew that it might be dangerous, but I still agreed. So this matter is voluntary on my part and has nothing to do with you."

Shen Moyu quickly spoke up to clear Concubine Ruan of any connection with tonight's events. Even though Concubine Ruan had been in the palace for many years, she probably didn't understand Xiao Ting and didn't know what kind of person he was.

Moreover, considering how much Concubine Ruan loved Xiao Xuan, even if she didn't care about her, she would still care about Xiao Xuan's feelings. So the possibility that Concubine Ruan deliberately let her die did not exist at all.

Since it doesn't exist, how could she let Concubine Ruan continue to blame herself? If Concubine Ruan feels uncomfortable, Xiao Xuan will definitely feel uncomfortable as well.

"Mo You, you are so sensible."

Concubine Ruan was somewhat relieved, and she liked Shen Moyou even more. "If it weren't for your unusual relationship with the Regent, I would have asked Madam Mo to make you my daughter-in-law."

"Mother, don't even think about this kind of good thing. It won't be Xiao Ling's turn anyway."

Xiao Xuan was somewhat amused by her mother's idea. After laughing for a while, she changed the subject and said, "By the way, when I came here just now, the people sent by Qin Ye to Jingning Palace came back to report that the Queen wanted to make a fuss about copying scriptures again."

"What else can that woman do besides asking me to copy scriptures!?"

Concubine Ruan was irritated for no reason. Seeing Xiao Xuan looking at her with some worry, Concubine Ruan smiled gently again, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Xuan'er, since there is nothing else, you and Mo You should go back to Ziyun Palace first. I think the jadeite from Jingning Palace will be here soon."

"Mother, I'll stay here with you. That Feicui is just a lowly maidservant beside the Queen. If she says something rude to you, I can just kill her. The Queen won't attack the Princess just to protect a maidservant, right?"

Xiao Xuan's face was filled with anger. She had repeatedly tolerated the Queen Su Mojie's embarrassment of her mother, but finally, she could no longer tolerate it.

Concubine Ruan was still quite calm about this matter, especially she didn't want her daughter to get involved, "Xuan'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, mother can handle it herself, you just be good and don't let mother be distracted by you."

Xiao Xuan naturally understood what Concubine Ruan meant. Because she understood, she hated Feicui and Queen Su Mojie even more.

"Mother, you are too kind. Good people are often bullied. The Queen is taking advantage of you and you should fight back. Father doesn't like her in the first place. Even if you really do it, he won't say anything."

"Xuan'er, you are wrong."

Shen Moyou shook his head in disagreement. "Although your majesty dotes on the Imperial Concubine, the Queen is the mother of a country, and your majesty will not be short of respect. So no matter how excessive the Queen's actions are, your majesty can tolerate it. But the Imperial Concubine is different. If she is really disrespectful to the Queen, I am afraid..."

Shen Moyou didn't say anything more, but Xiao Xuan understood what he said, and realized that she was too impulsive. She pouted and muttered unwillingly, "Am I just going to watch the queen bully my mother?"

"Xuan'er, didn't Mother tell you that Mother has her own way to solve it? Don't you believe Mother?"

Concubine Ruan was very touched by Xiao Xuan's concern, and precisely because of this, she could not take risks with Xiao Xuan, and chose not to let her participate.

Shen Moyou understood this, and Xiao Xuan understood it even more, so he reluctantly compromised, "Then I will go back to Ziyun Palace first."

"Go back and have a good sleep. Nothing will happen when you wake up."

Concubine Ruan reached out and touched Xiao Xuan's soft face with a loving look on her face, "Mother will come to see you later."

"Qingci, if there is any problem in Xiyue Palace, you can always send someone to Ziyun Palace to find this princess."

Xiao Xuan was worried and gave Qingci a stern warning. The latter nodded obediently and said, "I know what to do."

"Okay, Xuan'er, don't be like this. It was nothing to begin with. You made the atmosphere so tense that even Mother is a little scared."

Concubine Ruan looked at Xiao Xuan helplessly. She knew what she was worried about, but even if she was worried, she would have to face it sooner or later. Besides, she could no longer escape it.

Before, I thought the Queen was just acting on impulse and that she would get over it after a while. But now it seems that I was indeed too kind.
