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

"You are just making a fool of yourself. You should think about how to explain it to my mother. Take me away!"

Crown Prince Xiao Qi raised his hand, and the East Palace guards behind him rushed forward and captured Xiao Ting.

"Shen Moyou, how have I wronged you that you want to hurt me like this!?"

Xiao Ting's eyes were red with anger. He didn't understand why Shen Moyu didn't appreciate whatever he said or did, and now he was blatantly tricking him.

Shen Moyou looked innocent, "Why do you say that, Your Highness? I have only met Your Highness a few times, how can I say I have offended you?"

"Xiao Ting, you have evil intentions and you want to put the blame on Miss Shen. How could I have such a shameful brother like you!"

Crown Prince Xiao Qi looked disappointed. He turned to look at Shen Moyou and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Shen. I will personally go to the Prime Minister's residence some other day to apologize in person."

"Your Highness, that's not right. I am really terrified. It's just that His Highness the Seventh Prince said that my third sister got into trouble a few days ago, and the Wuyang Marquisate wants to put the blame on me."

The smile on Shen Moyou's face grew visibly. "If it's convenient for His Royal Highness, please help me ask about this matter. The Shen family hasn't come to question us yet, so why did the Marquis' Mansion start the fight first? They shouldn't be so unreasonable, right?"

"Don't worry, Miss Shen. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Crown Prince Xiao Qi cast a cold gaze on Xiao Ting, who couldn't help but shudder and shook his head at him, "Brother, this is really a misunderstanding."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, let's talk about it when we get back to the palace!"

Seeing Xiao Ting being taken away by the prince's men right under her nose, Shen Moyu felt a little relieved.

"Miss."

Seeing this, Roland took a step forward and approached Shen Moyou, "From what I saw from the Crown Prince's expression just now, it seems that he is really angry."

"It's impossible not to be angry. Your master knows that the Queen wants the Crown Prince to marry me, and the Crown Prince himself must know that. Xiao Ting intercepted it so openly. Even if he has a thousand reasons to make the Crown Prince believe that I deliberately framed him, I'm afraid he will still feel a thorn in his heart."

Shen Moyu looked at the back of Crown Prince Xiao Qi, his eyes were deep, as if hiding thousands of undercurrents.

"So what are we going to do now?"

Roland asked cautiously. For some reason, she always had the illusion that Shen Moyu was hiding something.

"Release the person who assaulted Shen Lian'er at Qingya Temple that night to my father. We cannot allow Wuyang Marquis Mansion to keep Su Moli any longer."

"Yes."

As soon as Roland left, Shen Moyou was left with only Bai Zhi, a girl she was not very familiar with. Bai Zhi was a very shy girl. She had been hiding behind Roland from this morning until just now. It was only now that she met Shen Moyou face to face.

"Your name is Bai Zhi, right?"

Shen Moyou gave her a kind smile, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Miss, just give me your orders. My master has said that I will follow you just to be your sharp blade."

Bai Zhi is more serious than Roland, but to Shen Moyu, she is also a burden in disguise. It is better to be like Roland's lively personality. Bai Zhi is too restrained.

"It's not that exaggerated. I just want you to go to the residence of the Minister of Revenue, Wei, to deliver a message."

Shen Moyou waved his hand, signaling Bai Zhi that she didn't need to be so serious, "We must let Wei Mingbo, the eldest son of the Wei family, know that when he killed someone in Jiaoyue Tower, there was a witness who was still alive."

"I understand. We need to let him know that there is still a fish that slipped through the net. Even if we know that the incident was covered up, people are prone to make mistakes when they feel guilty."

Bai Zhi likes to draw inferences from one example. Shen Moyou's smile deepened as he listened. "You're right. Go now."

"But you are alone..."

Bai Zhi was in a dilemma. If her master knew that she had left Shen Moyu alone in Wanfulou, he would probably skin her alive.

"Don't worry, your master won't leave me alone."

Shen Moyou looked up at the private room in the corner of the second floor and patted her hand, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you here."

Bai Zhi followed her gaze upwards and saw the tightly closed door. She was afraid that her master had already arrived.

"Your subordinates, please go and come back soon."

Shen Moyu saw Bai Zhi leave with some concern, feeling helpless and amused, and walked slowly to the second floor.

When she reached the second floor, the door of the private room in the corner had been opened from the inside. It was Xiao Linchuan, and surprisingly, Xiao Xuan and Mo Xinchen were also there.

Before she sat down, Xiao Xuan came close to her affectionately, "Mo You, I miss you so much."

"It's only been two days since we last met, how can it be so exaggerated?"

In fact, Shen Moyu also liked Xiao Xuan's personality. She was clear about gratitude and resentment. She would not hide her affection for the people she liked, and she would be very rude to the people she disliked. When she was arguing with them, she would wish to make blood splatter three miles away.

"Wow, you really opened my eyes today."

Mo Xinchen never thought that the soft and chewy glutinous rice dumpling from childhood could be so vicious and kill people without leaving any blood.

"Achen, do you believe me now? Your sister is not someone you can easily mess with."

Xiao Linchuan smiled warmly, perhaps because everyone present was his own, he looked much more lazy, and even his cold aura didn't seem so chilling.

"Little uncle, if Mo You was easy to mess with, she would have been bullied by Su Moli a long time ago. She was clearly the mastermind behind Qingya Temple. Shen Lian'er died, but she hid behind and escaped unscathed!"

Xiao Xuan was furious, and she kept complaining, "Mo You, you don't know, I complained to my father as soon as I returned to the palace that day, but my father actually said that this was the Queen's family's business and asked me to tell the Queen. It was too bullying."

Shen Moyu listened quietly to Xiao Xuan complaining about his father, and his heart was unusually calm. He had long known what kind of person Emperor Ming Yu was, suspicious and selfish.

To put it in a broader sense, even if she really died, she would just be the death of a noble lady from an aristocratic family. By then, as long as the queen came forward and gave her father some small benefits, once the prime minister's mansion didn't care, there would be nothing the Mo family could do even if they were unwilling to let it go.

However, Emperor Mingzhen now used a small move to make a big difference. He directly said that this was a matter of the Queen's family and he could not interfere. This was obviously condoning the Queen to protect Su Moli. Not only Xiao Xuan could not swallow this, but she could not swallow it either.

"Xuan'er, His Majesty also had his reasons. Besides, you were not injured this time. What he said was not wrong. After all, Wuyang Marquis's Mansion is the Queen's family home. He always has to take the Queen's face into consideration."

Shen Moyu's words sounded high-sounding, but they not only failed to convince Xiao Xuan, but even failed to convince herself.

"I don't care. Since my father won't make the decision for me, I will seek justice for myself. The Queen and the Marquis of Wuyang want to protect Su Moli, but they have to see if they can do it!"

Xiao Xuan's tone was filled with murderous intent. She was not as harmless as she seemed. "Mo You, don't be afraid. Just do whatever you want to do. If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility for you."
