Mo Xinchen didn't expect that Shen Moyu's idea was exactly the same as his. From childhood to adulthood, he had seen the Mo family avoid the limelight because of the Mingzhen royal family. They were obviously great contributors to guarding the border, but they could only act low-key in the imperial city.

No matter whether it was aristocratic families or civil and military officials, none of them had a particularly good relationship with the Mo family. However, this was still not enough for the Mingzhi royal family.

As long as the Mo family is in the imperial city, they are a naked threat to Emperor Mingzhen. Mo Xinchen knew this since he was a child.

Once upon a time, he also asked his grandfather why he had to be subordinate to others even though he had the military power in his hands, and why he had to compromise. If the Mo family wanted, the Ming Dynasty could change hands at any time.

However, not only were his words not recognized, but they were scolded by his grandfather, who thought he was extremely rebellious. The Mo family had been assisting generals since the founding of the country, which meant that a large part of the country was conquered by the Mo family.

Later, Mo Xinchen understood what his grandfather meant and did not ask any more questions. If the Mo family really seized the throne as Mo Xinchen said, then all the original achievements of the Mo family would no longer exist.

This was not the result that the Mo family hoped to see after working so hard to protect Mingzhen’s kingdom. Mo Xinchen understood it, and Shen Moyu in this life also understood it.

But even though he understood it, it was very difficult for him to actually do it. In the past and present lives, the Mo family army fought desperately on the battlefield to achieve this peaceful and prosperous era.

One day in the future, when Xiao Ting ascends the throne, he can accuse the Mo family of false charges without hesitation, and he can also kill all the loyal and brave Mo family members at will, or even wipe out the entire family. Just for this reason, it would not be a pity if the Xiao royal family died a thousand or ten thousand times.

"Yoyo, so can you help me persuade my grandfather? You know, he has lived his whole life for the Xiao royal family. I don't want the Mo family to live in such a depressed way."

This is also the reason why when Xiao Linchuan proposed it, Mo Xinchen agreed after only considering it for a moment.

Shen Moyu was surprised at Mo Xinchen's choice, but also a little confused. Why did he have to rebel? Couldn't he just surrender as a matter of course?

"Brother, I'm afraid I can't persuade grandpa about this."

Shen Moyou shook her head in embarrassment. Seeing that Mo Xinchen's eyes dimmed instantly, she changed the subject and said, "But why can't we let Grandpa and the others recognize the true face of the Xiao Imperial Family?"

"Yoyo, what do you mean by that?"

Mo Xinchen couldn't quite understand Shen Moyu's thoughts, but Xiao Linchuan beside him smiled in understanding.

"If Grandpa knew that he was wholeheartedly protecting the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor sitting high on the throne was watching covetously, waiting to catch the Mo family in one fell swoop if they made any mistakes, would he still stick to his original intention?"

Shen Moyu's face was grim. Even though the Mo family was destroyed after Xiao Ting ascended the throne, she was determined to cut off Xiao Ting's path to becoming an emperor in this life.

Besides, she was not wrong. From the beginning to the end, the Xiao royal family had never truly trusted the Mo family. They only wanted to take back the military power and leave the Mo family with nothing. So why didn't she take the initiative?

"No, your grandfather won't agree."

Mo Xinchen rejected Shen Moyu's proposal without thinking, but Shen Moyu disagreed.

"Little brother, what do you think we should do to get Grandpa to agree? No matter what we do, he will think it is disrespectful to the Mingzhi royal family. Some things need to be done without being brought out in the open. Once it is done, even if Grandpa wants to blame us, it is better than watching the Mingzhi royal family attack the Mo family in the future."

Shen Moyu's patient persuasion really convinced Mo Xinchen. There was an obvious struggle in his eyes. On the one hand, he felt that every word of Shen Moyu was reasonable, but on the other hand, he felt that if he really did this, he would not be able to withstand the wrath from his grandfather.

Seeing that Mo Xinchen was hesitant to make up his mind, Xiao Linchuan simply started to stimulate him, "Ah Chen, your sister is much more courageous than you. If she dares to do something, why should you be afraid? Even if we fail, we still have another way to go, right?"

Xiao Linchuan's words gave Mo Xinchen a reason to nod. It's not that he didn't see the hope in Shen Moyu's eyes, but it was indeed a bit difficult to accept something beyond one's cognition all of a sudden.

"You're right, let's do this, Rinchuan, we don't have much time."

Shen Moyou was confused by Mo Xinchen's words, "What do you mean? What do you mean time is running out?"

"Yoyo, this is what I'm going to tell you next. Don't you think we've been hiding something from you?"

Xiao Linchuan knew that if he didn't explain, Shen Moyu would probably have a knot in her heart, and perhaps from then on a wall would be built in her heart, which was not what he wanted to see.

Shen Moyou waited with bated breath. Seeing how serious Xiao Linchuan and Mo Xinchen were, he knew how serious the matter they were going to talk about was. "Go ahead and tell me. I should be able to bear it."

"Yoyo, my goal is to destroy the Mingzhen royal family. Dazhao is my territory, and I must let Dazhao unify the world. Do you understand?"

Xiao Linchuan spoke each word while looking into Shen Moyu's eyes, but when these words were put together, she didn't quite understand what they meant.

"But your mother is Consort Rou, and she came here to marry. Why do you say that Dazhao is your territory? I don't understand!"

Hearing this, Xiao Linchuan raised a bitter arc at the corner of his mouth, "Yes, my mother is Concubine Rou, but do you know what her status is in Dazhao?"

"Those who are eligible for marriage are probably from the royal family of Dazhao. Am I right?"

Shen Moyou's self-righteous guess was met with Xiao Linchuan's shaking head, "Yes and no, although she is from the Dazhao royal family, she is the crown princess of Dazhao and will be eligible to inherit the throne in the future."

"What did you say!?"

Shen Moyou's eyes widened instantly, and he felt a little unbelievable, "Crown Princess? Dazhao actually sent the Crown Princess to marry Mingzhen? Why? "

She really couldn't understand. Mingzhen could only barely compete with Dazhao. Strictly speaking, Mingzhen should curry favor with Dazhao, not Dazhao currying favor with Mingzhen.

Therefore, even if the two countries want to have a marriage alliance, they can just send a princess or a noble lady from an aristocratic family. The Mingzhen royal family will treat her well, so why send the crown princess?

"At that time, the imperial family of Dazhao was in turmoil. Although my mother was the crown princess, she was attacked from all sides and her situation was worrying. The marriage was just an excuse. Letting her come to Mingzhen was just a temporary measure. Who knows..."

Xiao Linchuan's face became more and more embarrassed when he said this. "Who knew that she really fell in love with my father? Not only did she get pregnant with me, but she also expelled all the ministers and generals who wanted to take her back to Dazhao."

"and after?"

Shen Moyu could see the deep pain in Xiao Linchuan's eyes, but it was true. Concubine Rou died of complications during childbirth, and he didn't even see his mother for the last time. Only he knew the pain and suffering he went through.
