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

After hearing what Xiao Xuan said, Eunuch An felt that it made sense. However, what Emperor Mingzhen wanted to do was not something that he, the chief eunuch, could influence.

If Emperor Mingzhen really wanted to visit Su Moli and take her into the harem, the only thing Eunuch An could do was to announce his decree.

So it's not that he doesn't know how disgusted Xiao Xuan and the others are about this matter, but he really can't do anything about it.

Seeing that Eunuch An looked embarrassed, Concubine Ruan gave Xiao Xuan a look, signaling her to stop. She also understood that Eunuch An was not unwilling to help, so if there was a solution, there was no need to force Eunuch An here.

"Please forgive me for making fun of you, Eunuch. Xuan'er is very straightforward and I have spoiled her. I know what is going on. I would like to trouble you to go back to Yangle Palace and watch over His Majesty. If there is any disturbance, please contact me in time. What do you think?"

Concubine Ruan spoke very tactfully, and Eunuch An also felt that what she said made sense. Although he was an elder by the side of Emperor Mingzhen, he had not seen much special treatment for an old man like him over the years.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to find another master. As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. As he gets older, he should make plans for himself.

Thinking of this, Eunuch An no longer hesitated, but bowed respectfully to Concubine Ruan, "This old servant obeys your order."

Eunuch An's attitude was still very useful to Concubine Ruan. After all, no matter how you look at it, they got more benefits in this matter.

"In that case, thank you very much, Eunuch An."

Concubine Ruan smiled and asked someone to send Eunuch An away. This confused Xiao Xuan, "Mother, since you knew what my father was planning, why didn't you stop him directly? And why did you let Eunuch An go back to guard the place?"

Xiao Xuan expressed her incomprehension. Although Su Moli was the biological sister of Queen Su Mojie, Concubine Ruan was at least the concubine second only to Queen Su Mojie. If Concubine Ruan did not agree, then Su Moli would not be able to achieve her goal.

"Why should I stop you? Since Su Moli wants to be your majesty's concubine, I will let her be."

However, Concubine Ruan didn't think so. To her, it didn't matter who Emperor Zhen took into the palace. What mattered was what this person was planning.

Su Moli was sent by the Su family of Wuyang Marquis' Mansion. She wanted to know what Queen Su Mojie and the Su family of Wuyang Marquis' Mansion were planning.

"Your Majesty, you may be acting on impulse. Don't forget that Wuyang Marquis Su Boyan is still missing, and the Wuyang Marquis's Su family is in danger. It's not surprising that Su Moli has entered the palace. I'm afraid they also want to know what the emperor thinks."

Shen Moyu spoke in a cold voice, which only meant that she had guessed Emperor Xi's thoughts 100%.

Maybe it was true that Emperor Mingzhen was seduced by Su Moli, but he was the emperor after all. Even if he was not clear-headed for a moment, he would quickly realize what was going on.

By that time, Su Moli's life would probably be very difficult. If she was smart, she would know to take advantage of Emperor Mingzhen's still in high spirits to get more benefits for herself.

But even if Su Moli thought so, the Su family of Wuyang Marquis' Mansion would never let her do so. Su Moli was originally a chess piece placed next to Emperor Mingzhen. It would be best if she was useful, but there would be no harm if she was useless.

"But mother, if the emperor is interested in Su Moli, there is no guarantee that he will release the queen early. Even if Su Moli does not help the queen, the emperor will be lenient with the queen because of the Su family of Wuyang Marquis Mansion."

What Xiao Xuan wanted most was to make sure that Queen Su Mojie would never be able to turn things around. This was not the result she wanted, so Xiao Xuan was somewhat unwilling to accept it. After so much difficulty, things had developed to this point where they were irreversible, and there was no way she would let Queen Su Mojie go.

"Will not."

Concubine Ruan shook her head and said with great certainty, "Didn't you see it in the hall today?"

"Mother, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Xiao Xuan was a little confused. What was she trying to figure out? In the palace today, before Emperor Mingzhen had said much, the incident with Xiao Ting had already happened.

"Your father obviously treats Xiao Ting differently. Although I don't know when this difference started, I believe that even if the Su family of Wuyang Marquis's Mansion wanted to do something to win back the Queen's heart, it would be difficult to succeed because of the Seventh Prince Xiao Ting."

When it comes to understanding Emperor Minh, it is natural that Concubine Ruan knows him better. After all, the two have been together for nearly twenty years.

"That's what the Queen deserves. She has been tormenting the Seventh Prince all the time over the years. If you ask me, the person who hates the Queen the most is the Seventh Prince."

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan felt relieved. She also found this matter strange. In the past, Emperor Mingzhen was indifferent to his son Xiao Ting, and could almost be said to be dispensable. But it seems that this is not the case now.

"My Lady Concubine, Xuan'er, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, do you feel that His Majesty's attitude towards His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has changed?"

Xiao Xuan was thinking this when Shen Moyu pointed out that something was wrong. It seemed that she was not the only one who felt that way.

"I haven't been to the palace for a long time, so I'm afraid I don't know as much about what's going on there as you do. What do mother and sister think?"

Xiao Ling's answer was quite pertinent. He did not know Emperor Ming Zhen, let alone Xiao Ting, so his opinion did not seem that important.

"Indeed."

Xiao Xuan nodded with deep feeling, "On the night when Mo You first entered the palace, when the Seventh Prince led his men into the side courtyard of Jingning Palace, Father obviously didn't pay much attention to the Seventh Prince. But after that incident happened early the next morning, everything changed completely."

"Strictly speaking, it should be said that on the day when the seventh brother knelt at the door of the imperial study and begged for forgiveness from His Majesty, His Majesty summoned him into the imperial study. I wonder what he said?"

Concubine Ruan also had a cold look on her face. Although she did not have any strong feelings towards Xiao Ting, she knew that her own children did not like him, and she could not possibly wish Xiao Ting well.

"After that incident, the emperor's attitude towards him completely changed. I really don't know what Xiao Ting said to the emperor."

Xiao Xuan curled her lips in dissatisfaction. For so many years, Emperor Ming Zhen had always ignored his son Xiao Ting. How could it be so coincidental that there was such a big change in just one day?

She didn't believe that there was no trick involved. The more Xiao Xuan thought about it, the more she frowned.

"If you want to know, why don't you just go and ask him? At this time, Xiao Ting may not have left the palace yet."

Xiao Ling didn't know why his sister was so conflicted. If she wanted to know the answer so much, why didn't she just call him over and ask him? Why was she so conflicted?

"Ling'er, how do you know Xiao Ting didn't leave the palace?"
