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

"Little girl, you are using me quite conveniently now."

Xiao Linchuan was both amused and confused. Shen Moyu's words didn't sound like a negotiation at all, it sounded like an order. The key point was that he couldn't refuse.

"Your Highness, are you unwilling?"

Shen Moyu smiled as cunningly as a fox. No matter in her past life or this life, her trust in Xiao Linchuan was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It's just that there are some things she can't confirm with Xiao Linchuan right now. She only wants revenge. As for the rest, when her revenge is taken, she will pay Xiao Linchuan back everything she owes with interest.

"Jie Li, have you finished listening to the corner?"

Xiao Linchuan suddenly called out, and a man climbed in from the window and knelt directly between the two of them.

"The subordinate is guilty."

Shen Moyu's face was full of black lines, it seemed that everything she said just now had been heard.

"You...isn't this a bit immoral?!"

"Please forgive me, Miss Shen. I have something to report to you, Master."

Xie Li also felt a little uneasy, after all, he had indeed eavesdropped.

"We'll talk about this later."

Xiao Linchuan sat by the window, looking at the unfinished chess game of Shen Moyu, wondering what he was thinking.

"You've been staying in the house playing chess with yourself these past two days?"

Shen Moyou rolled his eyes at him in annoyance, "Although I was the victim in Shen Lian'er's matter, I did escape unscathed. If I don't stay at home for the next few days, will I be a sight to behold if I go out?"

Xiao Linchuan didn't argue with her, but his face was a little gloomy, "Shen Moyou, this kind of thing will not happen again. You shouldn't put yourself in danger."

"Hasn't His Highness arranged for Xuan'er and my brother to be protected?"

Shen Moyou seemed to be teasing him on purpose, "With your highness's thorough consideration, I will definitely be safe."

"Shen Moyou!"

Xiao Linchuan warned with gritted teeth, but couldn't continue speaking halfway.

"I'm not kidding you. What if? What if I miss a step? Then the person lying under the white sheet yesterday..."

Shen Moyou knew that he was really thinking about him, so it was inappropriate to joke anymore. He said seriously, "Your Highness, it's not like I haven't thought about it at all, but you can't get the tiger cub without risking it. I know they set me up to go to Qingya Temple, so how can I break the trap if I don't go?"

"Miss Shen, do you know that our master learned about the Qingya Temple and came from..."

"Jie Li, shut up!"

Xie Li couldn't bear to listen to Shen Moyu's words anymore and couldn't help but talk back to her, but was stopped by Xiao Linchuan before he could finish.

Shen Moyu did understand some of it. She thought that Xiao Linchuan must have had some important matters to attend to these days, but he rushed back because she almost got into trouble in Qingya Temple.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I knew they would do something, but I didn't expect them to do it in such a dirty way."

He had to apologize. After all, it was necessary to surrender. When Shen Moyu looked up at him, tears welled up in her eyes.

Xiao Linchuan immediately felt so soft-hearted that he wished he could give her his life.

"Why are you feeling wronged? I didn't scold you. As long as you don't put yourself in danger, Su Moli and Wuyang Marquis Mansion are at your disposal!"

"Okay, I promise you."

Shen Moyou nodded heavily, "Don't worry, it won't happen again."

The method of heading towards a mountain knowing there is a tiger there can only be used once. That day at Qingya Temple, she also felt that it was too risky.

What's more, Xiao Xuan was present, and she really didn't want other people to be implicated by her, as that would be too costly.

"Jie Li, let Bai Zhi come over and follow."

"That's not necessary, is it?"

Shen Moyu was a little dumbfounded. It was impossible for Xiao Linchuan to send someone over whenever there was any movement.

In the long run, will her Rose Courtyard still be big enough for her to live in?!

"If you don't think it's necessary, there is another option."

"What is it?"

Shen Moyu asked without thinking, as long as they didn't continue to place people around her, everything would be fine.

Xiao Linchuan smiled at her and said, "What do you think about me protecting you personally?"

"Jie Li, Bai Zhi, ask her to come over tonight. There's a bed in Roland's room. They should know each other. I think it's a good idea for them to be together as companions."

Shen Moyu was so frightened that he immediately let go of the Baizhi he was talking about.

What a joke, isn't it a bit of a waste of talent to let Xiao Linchuan protect her?

What's more, when she goes out in the future, she will be followed by the noble "Regent", which makes her scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Hearing that Shen Moyu would rather choose Bai Zhi than him, Xiao Linchuan's face looked a little ugly. He didn't know what he was angry about.

"Master, let's go back to Jiangxue Pavilion first. Bai Zhi's subordinates will ask her to come over in a while."

It seemed that Xie Li really had something important to discuss with Xiao Linchuan, but the latter seemed to be glued to the couch, not moving at all.

"If you have something to say, just say it here. You'll get used to it sooner or later."

Shen Moyu stood aside, not knowing whether to leave or not. After all, it was her boudoir, but Xiao Linchuan said that she would have to get used to it sooner or later.

What are you used to?

Are you used to him coming uninvited often?

Xie Li glanced at Shen Moyou and hesitated for a long time before he had to speak, "There's news from the border that the King of Dazhao wants the Fourth Princess to go back."

"Gah???"

Shen Moyu was still struggling over whether she should listen to such a secret or not, but Jie Li couldn't wait to tell her.

The first thing he said was a big bomb, which left her dumbfounded. Let Xiao Xuan go back to Dazhao?

What's the meaning! ?

Isn't Xiao Xuan the fourth princess of Ming Zhen? Why did Xie Li use the word "hui"?

She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the fourth princess Xiao Xuan did go to Dazhao to marry, but not long after, news came that she had a sudden illness and died.

Could it be that Xiao Xuan faked his death to escape at that time?

In fact, what Jie Li meant by “returning” to Dazhao! ?

Looking at the tangled look on Shen Moyu's face, Xiao Linchuan found it funny, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Shen Moyu complained in his heart: You know I want to ask but you don’t take the initiative to say it, you want to suffocate me to death!

"Your Highness, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to. This is a serious matter."

He still had to say the polite words, even though Shen Moyu was almost bursting with curiosity.

"Ah……"

Xiao Linchuan chuckled and took the initiative to tell Shen Moyu, "The fourth princess Xiao Xuan and the fifth prince Xiao Ling are not the biological children of Concubine Ruan, but belong to the Dazhao royal family."

"What!?"

At this moment, Shen Moyu was no longer shocked, he was almost scared to death.

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ling are twins born to Concubine Ruan, a fact known to the entire Ming Dynasty.

She remembered that it was considered a good omen of "dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness" at that time, so on the day when Concubine Ruan gave birth to her son, Emperor Ming Zhen promoted her several levels from Concubine Ruan to Concubine.

Apart from the Empress Dowager and the Queen, Concubine Ruan is the most honorable in the palace. However, Xiao Linchuan now tells her that this pair of "dragon and phoenix" do not belong to the Mingzhen royal family, but are from the Dazhao royal family?

This is too outrageous!
