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

"Since Madam Mo is so worried about Mo You, why don't you stay at Ziyun Palace and accompany her?"

Seeing that Mo Wushuang seemed to be really concerned about Shen Moyou's safety, Xiao Xuan suggested, "Although this is a bit against etiquette, I think the Queen is kind and virtuous. If you ask her, she will definitely agree."

Shen Moyu glanced at Xiao Xuan calmly and knew what she was planning, feeling somewhat reluctant.

Just as Mo Wushuang was worried about her, she was also worried about Mo Wushuang's safety. Staying in the palace was much more dangerous than staying outside the palace.

However, before Shen Moyou could refuse, Mo Wushuang could not wait to agree, "After breakfast, I will go to Jingning Palace to ask the Queen."

"Mom, I'll go with you."

Shen Moyou held Mo Wushuang's hand. Just as the latter was about to refuse, she shook her head and interrupted, "I know what you want to say, but mother, speaking of the palace, you should greet the Queen first when you enter the palace. The order is wrong."

"Mother, you are just too worried. At most, I will apologize to Her Majesty. Didn't Her Highness the Fourth Princess just say that Her Majesty is kind and will not hold it against me?"

Mo Wushuang was quite optimistic, perhaps because her impression of Queen Su Mojie was still stuck in twenty years ago, when they were all still in their unmarried state.

Shen Moyu didn't have the heart to refute Mo Wushuang, but she was already starting to worry. Xiao Xuan winked at her, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous, as she would take care of everything.

Soon, everyone finished their breakfast. There was no news yet from Xiyue Palace, so they decided to go to Jingning Palace first.

But he was not completely unprepared. Shen Moyou thought for a moment, leaned over and whispered in Xiao Xuan's ear, "Will this work?"

"Don't worry, it's okay, just do as I say."

Shen Moyu smiled at her confidently. Although Xiao Xuan had some doubts, she still did as Shen Moyu said, and told Qinye to do it secretly.

"What bad things are you two secretly discussing?"

Mo Wushuang is quite open-minded. In her opinion, as long as her children are healthy and happy, nothing else matters.

All wealth and glory are illusions. It is enough for her to let Shen Moyu live freely.

However, Mo Wushuang didn't know that the little girl whom she had loved and protected so much in her previous life and wanted to grow up carefree ended up dying a tragic death.

"Mom, you'll know when the time comes."

Shen Moyou winked at her playfully. At this moment, Qin Xin, another senior maid of Ziyun Palace, ran in hurriedly. "Greetings, Your Highness, Miss Shen, and Madam Mo."

"Get up, Qinxin. You look so flustered. Is there something wrong with your mother?"

Qin Xin was the person Xiao Xuan sent to guard Xiyue Palace. At this moment, her face looked a little anxious, but she did not show any panic or fear. Therefore, Xiao Xuan was not in a hurry and asked questions slowly.

"In reply to your Highness, the Imperial Concubine sent a message saying that everything went well. The Queen believes that the ghost she encountered in the Buddhist temple this morning was a warning. She thinks that the Imperial Concubine is not a good person and is not suitable to copy scriptures and chant for her."

Qin Xin knew that Shen Moyu and Mo Wushuang were not outsiders, so she naturally said it directly without any hesitation. However, what she said shocked Mo Wushuang.

She couldn't believe that she would be so close to palace fighting in her lifetime and even experience it herself.

"What about mother? Did the queen do anything to her?"

This is what Xiao Xuan was worried about. Everything else was not that important. She only cared about whether Concubine Ruan would be hurt because of this.

"Everything is fine, the Empress. The Empress avoided mentioning the Empress and only sent a maid to pass on a message, saying that the Empress does not need to copy scriptures anymore in the future, and does not even need to go to Jingning Palace to pay respects to her."

When Qin Xin talked about this, she couldn't hide the joy in her tone, "Your Highness, the Queen has finally made it."

"Yes, the Queen asked Mother to copy scriptures and chant Buddhist scriptures day and night just to pray for her. What kind of blessing is this? It's just torture in disguise. If it weren't for the fact that Father turned a blind eye and refused to intervene, we wouldn't have to do it ourselves."

Xiao Xuan was furious when she mentioned Emperor Mingzhen. If her father had not pretended to be deaf and dumb, but had said a few words about Empress Su Mojie making things difficult for her mother, a lot of trouble could have been saved.

But the emperor, who claimed to love his mother, had never done so. He watched helplessly as the empress tortured his mother and asked her to be patient and give in, while the empress kept pressing on and did not restrain herself at all because of his mother's forbearance.

Since her father ignored her, she and her mother would seek justice on their own.

"What the Queen did was really too much..."

Mo Wushuang had heard outside the palace that Concubine Ruan had been copying scriptures and chanting Buddhist scriptures for the empress for many years, and had always been respectful to the empress. He had previously thought that these were just good stories in the harem, but who would have thought that there were so many twists and turns.

Just now she thought that Concubine Ruan was unwilling to copy scriptures for Queen Su Mojie every day because she was arrogant because of her favor. But Shen Moyu explained to her in a low voice that the so-called copying of scriptures means copying the scriptures a hundred times every day with neat handwriting, which is simply torture!

"Mother also thinks the Queen is going too far, right!?"

Seeing that Mo Wushuang was somewhat indignant, Shen Moyou smiled and teased, "That's not what you said before. You said that the queen was virtuous and kind and generous when she was in the boudoir."

Mo Wushuang felt somewhat ashamed by Shen Moyou's words, but was more angry at herself for not judging people well, "It was because mother was blinded by greed before."

"Okay Mo You, if you say that about Madam Mo, be careful or she might get really mad at you."

Xiao Xuan tried to smooth things over with a smile. She naturally understood in her heart that Shen Moyu meant well. Mo Wushuang grew up in a military camp, so his thoughts were relatively free-spirited, and he did things in a somewhat careless manner.

Shen Moyu did this to let Mo Wushuang know clearly that some people's past is the past and the present is the present. Maybe the former Queen Su Mojie was a gentle and kind person, but now, she is definitely not.

"Look, the Fourth Princess is still likable, unlike you, a little naughty boy, who always makes fun of your mother."

Mo Wushuang was not angry with Shen Moyu. Instead, she stretched out her hand and scratched the tip of her nose with her finger, "If you bully me again, be careful that I will go back to the Mo family and tell your grandfather."

"I know, mother. It was Yoyo's fault."

Shen Moyu was also good at climbing down the pole. Seeing Mo Wushuang teasing her jokingly, she also joked, "Let's go. When watching a show, we have to strike while the iron is hot."

"How about going by yourself?"

Mo Wushuang saw that Shen Moyu was too excited. Although she didn't know why, she always felt that something was wrong.

"Mom, what are you worried about?"

Shen Moyou saw what Mo Wushuang was thinking and asked her softly, "Do you think that I am now only thinking about calculations and conspiracies, and I am no longer the same as before?"
