"That's the truth."

Xiao Xuan did not hesitate any more. After all, it was useless to hesitate any more. If she intervened rashly now, it would only backfire. It would be better for her to wait for the news from the other side.

"Your Highness the Fourth Princess, Madam Mo requests an audience."

The guard outside the door was heard to pass on the message, which made Xiao Xuan subconsciously look at Shen Moyou who was standing beside him, "Moyou, your mother is here."

Shen Moyou held his forehead with a headache, "I think it should be because of what happened last night. Please don't say too much for a while, Your Highness, so as not to worry my mother."

"Mo You, what are you talking about!? If you say that again, I will be angry."

Xiao Xuan was angered by Shen Moyou's words "Your Highness". She thought they were already good friends and their relationship was so close that there was no distinction between you and me. She never expected that Shen Moyou would suddenly be so polite.

But Shen Moyou was just saying it. Seeing Xiao Xuan was angry, he had to coax her in a soft tone, "Okay, okay, why are you so serious? I was just joking with you."

Xiao Xuan pouted. She was not in a very happy mood to begin with, and was greatly affected by Shen Moyou. However, she was not really angry with her, but just a little helpless. "I really can't do anything about you."

"I will invite Madam Mo in right now."

Qinye tactfully stepped back and brought Mo Wushuang in.

Mo Wushuang must have been extremely anxious. After a while, a woman in a lake green brocade dress ran in and hugged Shen Moyu, who hadn't had time to get up. "Oh, my darling, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Mom, don't exaggerate. Xuan'er is still watching me. Thanks to Xuan'er, I'm fine. I'm fine."

Shen Moyu hurriedly tried to push Mo Wushuang away, but she didn't expect that Mo Wushuang's hands were like iron, tightly wrapped around her, and could not be separated at all. She really had no choice.

"Really?"

Mo Wushuang's eyes were red, and it seemed that she had just come here after crying at home. However, seeing Xiao Xuan standing aside and looking at her and Shen Moyu awkwardly, Mo Wushuang suddenly saluted embarrassedly.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess, I have lost my composure."

Xiao Xuan quickly waved her hands to indicate that she didn't care, "Mrs. Mo, you're worried about Mo You's safety because it's a subconscious action of a mother. I'm just curious, how did you know?"

"Yes, mother, how did this matter spread out of the palace so quickly?"

Shen Moyou also realized that something was wrong and looked at Mo Wushuang seriously, "Who told you?"

"It was your father. He said that something happened to you in the palace and your life was in danger. Mother was very worried. It happened that the Regent passed by the Rose Courtyard, so mother pulled him aside to ask about it. After learning that you were in Ziyun Palace, mother hurried to the palace. Oh, what on earth is going on?"

When Mo Wushuang saw Shen Moyu was safe and sound, he regained his rationality and calmness, and realized that things might not be simple.

Shen Moyu's face showed a cold expression. She didn't expect that her father was involved in this matter. With her understanding of Shen Lingfeng, she naturally understood that Shen Lingfeng was not so kind. Even if he was, why didn't he come himself but let Mo Wushuang come instead?

When she thought of this, Shen Moyu felt a chill spread from her limbs to every part of her body. After living a new life, she seemed to feel more and more how cunning her father was.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just had an accident last night, but Xuan'er and the Imperial Concubine are protecting me, so I'll be fine."

Naturally, Shen Moyu would not tell Mo Wushuang about what she had encountered. After all, she had experienced how dangerous these things were, and Mo Wushuang did not need to experience them.

Knowing that his daughter didn't tell the truth because she was afraid that she would worry, Mo Wushuang didn't ask any more questions. He just stroked Shen Moyu's hair again and again.

"Yoyo, you've grown up, and you don't need your mother to make decisions for you in many things. But you have to know that a mother is strong. If you are in danger, your mother can do her best and sacrifice everything. So you absolutely cannot do it all by yourself just to avoid worrying your mother, understand?"

"Mom, I understand what you mean, but it's really all right now and it's been resolved. Don't worry, if I really encounter something I can't handle, I won't hide it from you."

Shen Moyu also had mixed feelings. In both her past and present lives, Mo Wushuang had always regarded her as his lifeblood.

This was a heavy burden for Shen Moyu. She didn't know how to repay Mo Wushuang for raising her. After two lifetimes, she could no longer repay him.

Seeing that Shen Moyu did not resist, Mo Wushuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

"Mrs. Mo, you rushed into the palace as soon as you heard the news. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Do you want to eat something together?"

Xiao Xuan spoke up to break the somewhat solemn atmosphere, "It just so happens that we were dealing with some things just now and didn't have time to eat."

"I'll have someone bring it over and heat it up."

Qin Ye waved her hand and asked the little palace maid to come forward and take away all the breakfast on the table, but soon she brought a new table of steaming hot breakfast.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Princess, our Yoyo is really a bother to you, otherwise I will take her back later."

Mo Wushuang held Shen Moyu's hand tightly and was reluctant to let go, as if Shen Moyu would run away if he let go.

"Mother, it was not Xuan'er's idea for me to enter the palace. It was the Queen who summoned me to the palace to take care of her illness. Xuan'er has no right to let me leave the palace."

Knowing that Mo Wushuang's words would make Xiao Xuan embarrassed, Shen Moyu quickly spoke up to avoid it, otherwise he was afraid that Mo Wushuang would not know the connection and say something that would make Xiao Xuan uncomfortable.

"That's true, but your life was almost in danger when you first entered the palace yesterday. What did the Queen do..."

Mo Wushuang was halfway through her words when she realized that this place was Ziyun Palace. Her face turned pale instantly, "Your Highness has spoken out of turn."

"It's okay, Mrs. Mo."

Xiao Xuan smiled and shook her head to comfort her, "Ziyun Palace is not as taboo as other places in the palace. Just say what you want to say."

"Mother, I can't leave the palace yet. I know you are worried about me, but if I leave the palace now, I'm afraid things will get worse."

Shen Moyu knew that if she followed Mo Wushuang out of the palace, Queen Su Mojie would definitely find every excuse to convict her.

Now Xiao Linchuan seemed to be having a bad time with Emperor Ming Zhen, and she couldn't cause trouble at this critical juncture.

Although Mo Wushuang didn't know why Shen Moyu was unwilling to leave with her, she believed in her daughter. Shen Moyu had always been calm and steady in doing things, and she felt a little inferior to her.

"Mother is just worried. The palace is too complicated. We have to be careful with every step we take. Yo yo, you better be careful."

Mo Wushuang did not force Shen Moyu anymore, but the worry between his brows could not be wiped away.
