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

"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess, something bad has happened."

Xiao Xuan was shaking Shen Moyu's hand in a coquettish manner, but was frightened by the palace servant who suddenly broke in. Her hands started shaking and she almost elbowed Shen Moyu.

"What are you panicking about!?"

Xiao Xuan looked at the pale-faced palace servant who barged in with some displeasure and scolded, "Is this how Qin Ye usually teaches you the rules?"

Qin Ye, who was called by name, knelt down naturally, "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Highness the Fourth Princess."

"Okay Xuan'er, let's listen to what she says first."

Shen Moyu interrupted Xiao Xuan, who was still angry, and pretended to be curious, but did not dare to do anything. After all, Xiao Xuan had the final say in Ziyun Palace.

"You say it."

Xiao Xuan was giving Shen Moyu some face, but her expression was still unhappy. However, anyone who was interrupted by someone suddenly breaking in like this would not have a good expression.

The maid was so frightened that she trembled, but she still held back her tears and sobbed, "It was...it was the Queen. She went to the temple early this morning, and before long, she was heard yelling and saying that she had seen a ghost."

"What did you say!?"

Xiao Xuan stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on her face, "I saw a ghost in the temple!? Are you kidding me?"

"It is absolutely true. I dare not lie to you. The Queen has returned to Jingning Palace. I heard that the imperial doctors have already gone there."

Seeing Xiao Xuan's disbelief, the maid became anxious. "If you don't believe me, Princess Four, you can go and see for yourself. I really didn't lie to you."

"Moyou, should we go take a look?"

Xiao Xuan was actually still a little curious. She didn't like Queen Su Mojie, and everyone in Ziyun Palace knew it.

Therefore, it would be a pleasure for her if Queen Su Mojie suffered misfortune.

"You go down first. I have something to discuss with your fourth princess alone."

Shen Moyu did not agree to Xiao Xuan immediately, but glanced sideways at the palace maid kneeling on the ground.

The palace maid did not leave immediately, but subconsciously looked at Xiao Xuan. She knew very well who her master was. So what even if Miss Shen was on good terms with the Fourth Princess?

This kind of thing is the most sensitive. Whoever belongs to whom must listen to whom from beginning to end. Otherwise, if they betray their master halfway or have other intentions, the consequences will be something they cannot bear.

Xiao Xuan naturally wouldn't argue with Shen Moyou over such a trivial matter, so she nodded and said, "You can go down."

As soon as the maid left, Xiao Xuan couldn't wait any longer. "Mo You, what do you mean? Why don't you let me go to Jingning Palace? How can I let go of such a good opportunity to see the queen laugh at me?"

"Xuan'er, think carefully, why would the Queen suddenly encounter a ghost in the Buddhist temple? And why did you hear about this incident right after you left Xiyue Palace and returned to Ziyun Palace?"

Shen Moyu did not tell Xiao Xuan directly, but let her figure it out on her own.

Xiao Xuan was not stupid either. She quickly realized what was going on. She looked at Shen Moyou in surprise and said, "Moyou, could this be the trick you and my mother had discussed to deal with the Queen?"

Shen Moyou smiled faintly and said nothing. He neither admitted nor denied it. Besides, this kind of thing was hard to say, whether you believed it or not.

Xiao Xuan believed that Shen Moyou had such ability, and gave Shen Moyou a thumbs up in relief, "I knew that you would either not do it or make a big splash if you did."

"Xuan'er, since the Imperial Concubine doesn't want you to get involved in this matter, then you should just stay in your own palace and pretend that nothing happened. This is the best thing for the Imperial Concubine, do you understand?"

Xiao Xuan understood what Shen Moyou said and nodded obediently, "I won't get involved."

"but……"

Shen Moyou hesitated to speak, looked outside, and then looked at Xiao Xuan, which really made him anxious, "Moyou, do we still need to hide things from each other like this? Just say it if you have something to say."

"How could that palace maid just happen to hear what happened in Jingning Palace? Ziyun Palace is quite far away from Jingning Palace, and how could the servants in your palace be so reckless?"

Shen Moyu deliberately sent the person away simply because she didn't trust this person from the beginning.

From the moment this palace maid broke in to the moment she left, she seemed to be trembling with fear, but in fact, every step she took seemed to be planned.

It would have been fine if Shen Moyou hadn't said anything, but once he did, Xiao Xuan believed it even more. She slammed the table impatiently and said, "Qinye, arrest that maid and interrogate her."

"Your Highness, this matter was caused by my negligence. Please forgive me."

Qin Ye was also frightened by Shen Moyu's words. It was not that she blamed Shen Moyu for being nosy, but that she did not even notice anything unusual about the palace maid just now. If she really harmed her own princess, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

"Qinye, this is none of your business. I know your temper well. Anyone could harm me, but you. So you don't need to blame yourself. Just do your job well."

Xiao Xuan is not an unreasonable person. She has always been very protective of her own people and knows the principle of trusting people you employ and don't employ people you don't trust. Since she is sure that Qin Ye will not betray her, she will definitely not suspect Qin Ye.

But the more Xiao Xuan thought about it, the more Qin Ye blamed herself. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I will definitely ask clearly and give you an explanation."

Seeing Qin Ye retreating silently, Xiao Xuan shook her head helplessly, "Mo You, sometimes I don't understand this Qin Ye. I'm so nice to her, but she's always respectful to me."

"Xuan'er, you are the master and she is the servant. There is a difference between master and servant. This is the most normal thing."

Shen Moyou comforted her softly, "It is because Qinye knows her limits that she deserves your trust, isn't it?"

"What you said seems to make sense, but I have almost no friends since I was a child. Apart from my half-brother Xiao Ling, I only have Qin Ye by my side. I hope she doesn't treat me as her master."

When Xiao Xuan said this, her tone was full of loneliness. This was probably the sadness of being a child of the royal family.

There are always so many servants around them, and there are always people who take care of everything and serve them comfortably, but they are still not happy.

Because those people are always very cautious, fearing that they might be punished and lose their lives due to poor service.

Over the years, Xiao Xuan thought she was very nice to everyone in the palace, but she was still disappointed because these people never thought of treating her as a friend.

However, she also knew that this kind of thing requires mutual consent and cannot be forced, but she would always feel a little disappointed.

"Xuan'er, everyone has their own choices. Besides, Qinye treats you as her master, and there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe in her heart, she also wants to treat you as a friend?"
