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

"Xuan'er seems to like staying with you very much."

Concubine Ruan looked at Xiao Xuan's back, who kept looking back, and found it a little funny. "Mo You, you are a good child. I misunderstood you just now."

Hearing Concubine Ruan say this, Shen Moyou shook her head and denied it, "Your Majesty, please don't say that. I am really terrified. I was not thoughtful enough just now and offended Your Majesty. It's because Your Majesty has a good temper. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded long ago."

When it comes to saying nice things, Shen Moyu is no less capable, but it depends on the person saying them and whether she is willing to say them.

But now she was very willing to say nice words to coax Concubine Ruan. Maybe if she could make her happy, she would be convinced by her.

"Your little mouth is as sweet as honey. Tell me, why did you ask Xuan'er and her brother to leave? What exactly do you want to tell me?"

Concubine Ruan is a smart person, so she doesn't think that Shen Moyu simply sent Xiao Xuan and the others away just to say nice things to make her happy. This is unrealistic.

"Your Majesty, I want to persuade you to follow the Fourth Princess to go to Dazhao to marry."

Shen Moyou knelt on the ground, looked up at Concubine Ruan, and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, Xuan'er needs you. You just heard it. Xuan'er is still too naive. She is totally unprepared for many things. I am really worried about her going to Dazhao like this."

"But the Regent has already said that this matter is absolutely safe. Since there is no major problem, what difference does it make whether I go or not?"

Concubine Ruan is not a person who follows the crowd. She has her own ideas and will not be confused by others' concerns. She thinks that just because Shen Moyu said so, she must do so.

"Your Majesty, being absolutely safe may only mean that her life is not in danger, but have you ever thought about it? Xuan'er has lived a life of luxury since she was a child and has never really suffered any injustice. But she returned to Dazhao as a princess. Your Majesty, think about it, how will those people treat her?"

Shen Moyou tried to persuade Concubine Ruan with kindness. Seeing her hesitant expression, she simply continued to use drastic measures, "Besides, that Dazhao Crown Prince Gu Wei knows Xuan'er's identity. If he plots to frame her, wouldn't Xuan'er be in danger?"

"After all that, you guys are not sure at all, right?"

Concubine Ruan looked at Shen Moyou's serious face and was furious. "So the Regent and the others were all lying to me!?"

"I wasn't lying, I just didn't tell the whole truth."

What Shen Moyu said was indeed correct, and Xiao Linchuan really didn't need to lie, he could keep Xiao Xuan safe and sound.

But to what extent this safety can be achieved, no one can guarantee. It will certainly be difficult to make any progress at the beginning. What can it do even if Xiao Linchuan is cautious at every step?

After all, Da Zhao's Crown Prince Gu Wei grew up there since he was a child. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If he wants to deal with Xiao Xuan, it will be a piece of cake.

So when Shen Moyu thought of this, he felt uneasy, but if Concubine Ruan could agree to go with him, then the situation might be different.

"Does Xuan'er know that you are doing this?"

Concubine Ruan's expression could no longer be described as gloomy, it was simply sinister. She felt that Xiao Linchuan had plotted against Xiao Xuan.

In response to Concubine Ruan's question, Shen Moyou nodded honestly, "Xuan'er naturally knows. Your Majesty, think about it carefully. If Xuan'er didn't know, why would she repeatedly oppose the Fifth Prince going to Dazhao?"

"So even Xuan'er hid it from me? She knew there would be many dangers, but she still went ahead without hesitation. Why?"

Concubine Ruan murmured to herself. She couldn't understand why Xiao Xuan did this. Could it be that Da Zhao would be better than Ming Zhen?

Why did she have to go to Dazhao to suffer when she could be a princess of the royal family? Thinking of this, Concubine Ruan became even more depressed.

"Because Dazhao needs her to return, madam, this is Xuan'er's responsibility, and she has no choice but to do it. But I want you to understand that if Xuan'er returns to Dazhao in her current condition, it will be difficult for her to move forward. The best outcome now is that you go with her."

Although Shen Moyu's words made Concubine Ruan very uncomfortable, she also agreed with it in her heart. After all, she had been up and down in the harem for so many years, so she naturally knew more about some things than Xiao Xuan.

"Even if I agree to go with Xuan'er, I am still the imperial concubine of the Mingzhen royal family. How can I go with you?"

The fact that Concubine Ruan asked such a question meant that she had actually been convinced in her heart and was willing to accompany Xiao Xuan.

"As long as the queen agrees, everything will be easy."

Seeing that Concubine Ruan had given in, Shen Moyou smiled with relief, "After all, Your Majesty has been suppressed by the Queen for so many years, it is not impossible for her to suddenly develop a serious illness."

"You want me to fake my own death!?"

Concubine Ruan widened her eyes in shock, thinking that Shen Moyou's method was too bold. "Do you know that even if I fake my death, it may not go as you wish? The sudden death of the imperial concubine is a big deal for the palace. Are you sure you can do it?"

It’s not that Concubine Ruan is afraid of death, but she feels that even if she dies, her death must be useful.

If she died without knowing why, wouldn't she be wronged? Just thinking about it, Concubine Ruan felt that this was not feasible.

"Your Majesty, man proposes, God disposes. How can you know it won't work if you don't try? Besides, no matter how this matter is handled, I promise that I will definitely keep you safe."

Shen Moyou's assurance had no persuasive power for Concubine Ruan. "I don't want to talk to you. You and the Regent should have discussed this matter. Let him come. I want to talk to him."

"In that case, please wait a moment, Madam."

Shen Moyu did not reject Concubine Ruan's conditions. Besides, she didn't think she could persuade Concubine Ruan on this matter.

No matter what, whether she agrees or not is understandable. Although she raised Xiao Xuan and her brother, they are not biological mother and son or daughter after all. There will still be some barriers between them. This is understandable and natural.

After coming out of the main hall of Xiyue Palace, Xiao Xuan couldn't wait to ask, "Mo You, why did you talk in there for so long? What did you talk about?"

"Xuan'er, what do you think about letting Concubine Ruan accompany you to Dazhao?"

Shen Moyou suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Xuan with a faint smile on her face. The latter was startled by her, "Moyou, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know, and I know very well that this is a very good thing for you. If Concubine Ruan can really go with you, then you will have a much smoother time in Dazhao."

Shen Moyou was not frightened by Xiao Xuan's serious expression, but continued to analyze the situation with her, "Xuan'er, your mother also agrees."
