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

"You and I can continue our previous cooperation. You know that I also have a copy of the Eighteen States Geomancy Map. Little girl, we are half on the same boat."

Both of them wanted to gain each other's trust, but neither of them told the whole truth and did not really reveal their true colors.

"How does Your Highness want to cooperate?"

Shen Moyu took advantage of his distraction, broke free from his hand, and sat down opposite him. After talking so much, his mouth was dry, so he poured himself a cup of light tea and drank it in one gulp.

"Do what you want, and leave your way out to me."

How could she not understand the meaning of Xiao Linchuan's words? Shen Moyu felt inexplicably blocked in her heart, and the cup of tea seemed to be stuck in her throat, bitter and astringent, and difficult to swallow.

She didn't understand why Xiao Linchuan?

Why did he protect her so much in both the past and present life?

How could she be so worthy! ?

Shen Moyu stood up, knelt down in the direction of Xiao Linchuan, and met his gaze.

"Your Highness may not know that what I am about to do is very dangerous and may even go against your status as regent. Please think twice."

"Think it over again."

Xiao Linchuan did not help her up, but looked at her solemnly, "If I insist on doing this, what will you do?"

"I can't control what Your Highness wants to do, but I won't do what Your Highness says."

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Shen Moyou shook his head, then stood up and prepared to leave. "It's not stubbornness, it's unwillingness. Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Don't you want to know what this Happy Building is used for?"

Xiao Linchuan called out to her.

"When you entered the room just now, you saw those women. They are indeed very happy here, but you don't know that they are all orphans, and they are all the sins that Mingzhen has committed for a long time. Even if this is the case, don't you want to?"

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

Shen Moyu's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, full of disbelief. Was it what she thought it meant?

"The Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, and the court was in constant factional strife. Those women were either relatives of innocent officials who were persecuted by the factional strife, or weak women who were bullied by unscrupulous officials."

“But they look carefree…”

Shen Moyu's face turned pale. The political situation in Ming Dynasty was turbulent, which she only knew about when she was the queen in her previous life.

But at that time she was wholeheartedly devoted to helping Xiao Ting stabilize his regime and never thought about the people.

I didn't know that there were so many innocent people suffering from this near the imperial city.

"It's hard to heal a wound in their heart. They are like ants, how can they shake an elephant? Happy Building is just their temporary refuge, but who will speak up for their grievances and avenge their revenge?"

Xiao Linchuan's words were very misleading, but Shen Moyu was still sober, because these things had never happened in his previous life.

"But Your Highness, why me?"

There was no Happy Building in her previous life, and it might be because she was busy marrying Xiao Ting at that time, so Xiao Linchuan did not tell her.

"Because I can't find anyone more suitable than you."

Xiao Linchuan's words were somewhat perfunctory, even fake, and could not convince Shen Moyu at all.

What's more, such a dangerous thing may fail at any time. Once it is exposed, countless people will be implicated.

But Shen Moyu had to admit that this was indeed an opportunity. The Ming Dynasty had only been in existence for a hundred years, so it was not very stable.

What's more, she has been corrupted for many years. The women in Kaixin Tower may really be used by her and become a step in destroying the Xiao royal family.

"Then what does Your Highness want me to do?"

Shen Moyu neither accepted nor refused, because she felt that Xiao Linchuan was more and more like a mystery, mysterious and dangerous.

As the regent, he supported a group of victims persecuted by Ming Zhen. His surname was obviously Xiao, but between the lines, he clearly distinguished himself from the Xiao royal family.

"From today on, this Happy Building is yours, and everyone here will recognize you as their master."

As soon as Xiao Linchuan finished speaking, Shen Moyu heard a knock on the door, and the person who came in was one of the women she saw when she came in just now.

At this moment, she knelt respectfully in front of Xiao Linchuan, "I am Roland, your subordinate, and I am honored to meet you, my master."

"Roland, from now on, your master is Shen Moyu, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. All of you will obey her. Do you understand?"

Xiao Linchuan's majesty was fully revealed, and the python under the black robe became very vivid because of his momentum.

Roland didn't even ask the reason, and changed the person kneeling to Shen Moyu, and her movements were smooth and flowing, as if she had known it for a long time.

"Roland has met the new master."

Shen Moyou was more cautious and said, "Your master is him, so from now on you will be like my maid. Call me Miss."

Roland readily agreed, "Yes, Miss."

Shen Moyu knew very well that this Roland might not really be used by her. Xiao Linchuan went to so much trouble to get her to do something and to keep an eye on her.

Sure enough, the older men are, the more sophisticated they are!

“I want to know what other functions this Happy Building has besides being a place where people can have fun and relax?”

Shen Moyu came to her senses a little. The women she had just met were not affected at all when she came in, not because their attention was not on her.

It was because these people were Xiao Linchuan's people. If she guessed correctly, these people already knew it before she came.

"master……"

Roland subconsciously looked at Xiao Linchuan, as if asking if he could tell the truth.

Xiao Linchuan's face was solemn. "Wasn't what I just said clear enough? She is your new master. You just need to answer whatever she asks."

Roland's subconscious behavior also confirmed Shen Moyu's guess that Xiao Linchuan handed over Kaixin Building to him for ulterior motives.

After hearing what Xiao Linchuan said, Roland began to explain, "To answer Miss, we are not usually in Happy Tower. Instead, we are scattered around the Imperial City in disguise. Unless the master summons us, we are invisible."

Shen Moyou asked, "Where are you all scattered?"

Roland replied, "Our sisters are everywhere where the royal nobility likes to gather."

Wow, they caught them all in one fell swoop!

Shen Moyu looked at Xiao Linchuan with more fear in his eyes. This man was a little scary.

"Are there any of your people in Bright Moon Tower?"

The Jiaoyue Tower mentioned by Shen Moyu is one of the most famous places for entertainment in the imperial city. Many noble families and even royal relatives like to go there for fun.

Jiaoyue Tower was also an intelligence network that Xiao Ting had spent a lot of effort to build in his previous life. I wonder if she can be faster than Xiao Ting.

"Yes, the madam of Bright Moon Tower is one of our people. I wonder if the young lady asked about Bright Moon Tower and wanted us to do anything?"

Roland is worthy of being the head of Kaixin Tower. After just a few words, he realized that Shen Moyu’s purpose in asking about Jiaoyue Tower was not simple.

Shen Moyu's face was filled with shock. Xiao Linchuan's hand was really long enough.

"The madam you are talking about is the former courtesan Sang Yue?"
