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

"Yoyo, if you don't want to marry the prince, then are you willing to marry me?"

Xiao Linchuan felt so heartbroken when he saw Shen Moyu with tears in her eyes.

He admitted that he had failed completely. He had watched this little girl grow up. She had caught his eye since she was three years old. Until now, his feelings for her had long since changed from gratitude to something else.

I vaguely remember that when he was brought back to the Mo family, Shen Moyou said to her grandfather, General Mo, in a baby voice, "Grandpa, I want to save this little brother, and I want to save him at all costs!"

He also remembered that General Mo was very curious about Shen Moyou's willingness to pay any price, and asked Shen Moyou, "Why do you want to save him?"

Shen Moyou was still young at that time, so naturally she couldn't think of any valid reasons. She said softly, "Because he is so handsome. When I grow up, I want to marry such a handsome man."

It turned out that he had been destined by Shen Moyu since he was a child, and he was even willing to fall and sink.

Shen Moyu still had tears on her cheeks, which made her look a little funny. At this time, Xiao Linchuan asked such a question, which was more or less taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but he couldn't care less.

Who the hell is Xiao Qi? Anyone who dares to covet him is simply courting death!

So originally, he was unwilling to move Xiao Ling's chess piece so quickly, but as long as it was about Shen Moyu, he would lose all rationality.

"Xiao Linchuan, I will neither marry the prince nor you."

Shen Moyu seemed to return to her former coldness in an instant. She withdrew from Xiao Linchuan's arms and took another step back, putting some distance between them.

"why?"

As if he hadn't expected Shen Moyou to refuse so straightforwardly, Xiao Linchuan was a little overwhelmed for a moment, "Shen Moyou, tell me a reason!"

"I will not marry without a reason. Please, Your Highness, do not treat me like an object without respecting my wishes like others do."

Shen Moyu's words were like a blunt knife cutting flesh, causing pain and bleeding. Xiao Linchuan's face turned pale and he was silent for a long time before he let out a sarcastic smile.

"So in your heart, I am no different from everyone else, right?"

Shen Moyou closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a calmness in his eyes, "Whatever you think, Xiao Linchuan, we are not suitable, and there will be no result."

Shen Moyu didn't wait for Xiao Linchuan to react, but turned and left, because if she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to control her heart and become soft-hearted.

Xiao Linchuan, I'm really sorry!

She still had a grudge to take, so it was impossible for her to agree now because she was not sure what would happen in the future.

Xiao Linchuan was probably the best person to her in her past and present lives, so she didn't deserve to marry him. She owed Xiao Linchuan too much.

It was too much to pay off, and it would be too much to agree to marry him.

"Shen Moyou, you don't have to marry, but you can't hide what you want to do from me. I'll find a way to deal with the Crown Prince and the Queen. Don't take any risks. Just think of it as me repaying you for saving my life!"

Xiao Linchuan called out to Shen Moyu who was about to flee. He was not a fool. Shen Moyu's current condition was not what she said was inappropriate at all.

But since Shen Moyou was unwilling to tell the truth, he didn't have the heart to force him. He was just afraid that Shen Moyou would disrupt all his future plans because of this incident.

He was even afraid that Shen Moyu would refuse his help and put herself in danger. If that was the case, he might as well not tell her those things.

Shen Moyou's steps sank, and tears began to fall from the corners of her eyes. She choked and said, "Xiao Linchuan, I don't deserve you to be so nice to me!"

In her previous life, before she died, she heard that Xiao Linchuan led his troops into the palace, but she didn't know what happened to him later. She just knew that at that time, Ming Zhen's situation was getting worse under Xiao Ting's governance.

The officials in the court had no interest in state affairs at all. All they thought about was how to gain Xiao Ting's trust and how to win the favor of the new queen, Shen Lian'er.

Officials from all over the country repeatedly exploited the people, and a constant stream of gold, silver and treasures were presented to the imperial palace. At that time, the Ming Dynasty had already been destitute, and the people prayed to God every day to give them a wise ruler.

Maybe Xiao Linchuan led his troops into the palace and escaped unscathed, and Xiao Ting's tenure as emperor also came to an end. If this was true, she would be relieved about the outcome.

"Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you to decide, Shen Moyou. I always do things according to my heart. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do, but please believe me, I'm different from them and I will never hurt you!"

Xiao Linchuan was afraid that he would force Shen Moyu to distance herself from him, so he made promises again and again and asked Shen Moyu to believe in him again and again.

"I see."

She had never disbelieved what Xiao Linchuan said, but she was afraid that she would no longer be able to take Xiao Linchuan's kindness for granted.

In the past, she thought it didn't matter, as Xiao Linchuan could always use her for his benefit. But now, Xiao Linchuan told her that all this was just to repay her for saving his life.

This made it very difficult for her to accept, because compared to the little effort she had put in back then, everything Xiao Linchuan had done was a huge profit for her.

If she just wants to take advantage of the relationship, then of course she can take advantage of it. After all, we are all the same and no one is kinder than anyone else.

But that was obviously not the case. Xiao Linchuan had other intentions towards her. He wanted her as a person and her heart.

If it were in her previous life, she would have woken up earlier and accepted Xiao Linchuan, but it was too late in this life. She had not yet seen with her own eyes that all her enemies received the punishment they deserved.

Shen Moyu knew very well how dangerous the process was. Xiao Linchuan had already helped her so much, which was enough.

Coming out of Jieyoupu, Liyue and Mengdong, who were waiting in the carriage, were frightened to see Shen Moyou's tear-stained face and pale lips, "Miss, what happened to you?"

"Nothing, let's go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the carriage left, Shen Moyu no longer cared about anything. She covered her face with a handkerchief and cried out loud, but she didn't dare to cry too loudly.

Such suppressed crying made Li Yue and Meng Dong feel nervous. "Miss, what happened to you? Did His Royal Highness the Regent bully you?"

In fact, Li Yue herself didn't believe what she said. The Regent was praising her young lady to the sky, so how could he bully her?

"Liyue, Mengdong, I'm so tired. I really want to take a nap."

Shen Moyu was probably tired of crying, and she leaned on Meng Dong's shoulder. Her bright face was filled with a pair of swollen eyes, and her pitiful appearance was really heartbreaking.

Li Yue and Meng Dong didn't have the heart to ask any more questions. Meng Dong patted Shen Moyou's back and coaxed her softly like a child, "Miss, the servants are all here. If you want to sleep, go ahead. We'll call you when we get there."
