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

As for what happened in the morning court, before Shen Lingfeng returned to the prime minister's residence, the news had already reached Shen Moyu.

"My lady, His Majesty chose to meet you during the birthday banquet. I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."

Bai Zhi brought the news and also expressed her own concerns. She and Roland no longer looked like people sent by Xiao Linchuan, but rather like Shen Moyu's own people.

"Jian is not simple. Since he wants to see me, I have to go. Otherwise, it would be disobeying his order. I can't bear such a crime."

Shen Moyou sipped his tea leisurely, not taking the matter to heart at all, and asked, "Is my mother coming back today?"

"According to the date, it should be today. Miss, do you want to go to the city gate to welcome the lady?"

Li Yue said with some excitement, "We have been so frustrated these days since Madam left the Prime Minister's Mansion. We are all looking forward to her coming back."

"Oh?"

Shen Moyou raised her eyebrows and deliberately joked, "So it's me who made you suffer?"

Li Yue pouted and said, "Miss, please don't make fun of me."

"Miss, Grand Tutor Du's daughter Du Ruyi's carriage has stopped in front of the Prime Minister's residence. She specifically said that she came to see you."

Meng Dong's voice came from outside the door, and Shen Moyu frowned almost inaudibly. She and Du Ruyi had no intersection in past and present lives, so why did she suddenly see her?

"Let her come."

If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Since Du Ruyi came to her house on purpose, there is no reason for her to close the door and refuse him. But she doesn't know what this girl is up to?

Shen Moyu clearly remembered that she was the one who married the prince in her previous life. Due to some changes in this life, perhaps she had robbed her of her marriage and prevented her from marrying the prince.

Du Ruyi came very quickly. It would take at least a quarter of an hour to get from the mansion gate to the Rose Courtyard, but when Du Ruyi stood in front of her, a quarter of an hour had not yet passed.

Shen Moyu stood up to greet the visitor. Du Ruyi was wearing a milky white brocade dress, which made her look decent and generous.

"Miss Shen, I'm sorry for disturbing you by coming here."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Even though Shen Moyou was full of questions at the moment, she had to greet him with a smile, "Miss Du, you are too polite. We were surprised to see you at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. We should have made an appointment to get together, but things happened one after another in the mansion. Fortunately, you came."

"Miss Shen, Ruyi came here this time to ask you to show mercy and spare my life!"

As Du Ruyi was talking, she knelt down towards Shen Moyu, who took a step back, looking confused, "Ms. Du, we can talk it over, don't kneel!"

She and Du Ruyi had only met once at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so how could there be any question of whether to spare her life or not?

Du Ruyi refused to get up, and shook her head with red eyes, "I know that my coming here this time is a bit abrupt, but I have no other choice. Miss Shen, you are the daughter of the prime minister, and you have the support of the Mo family, who have made great military achievements. Ruyi begs you not to marry the prince, and give him to me, okay?"

"Why do you say that, Miss Du? Where did you hear that I want to marry the prince!?"

Shen Moyu narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing that this matter was not simple. She remembered that this was a private agreement between Shen Lingfeng and Su Boyan, so how did Du Ruyi know about it?

"Miss Shen, don't worry about where I got this information from. You just need to promise me that you won't marry the prince..."

"Ms. Du, who my Yoyo wants to marry and who she doesn't want to marry is entirely up to her own will. It can't be changed by just kneeling down casually."

Before Du Ruyi could finish her words, she heard Mo Wushuang's powerful voice coming from far away.

"mother!"

Shen Moyou turned around unexpectedly and looked at Mo Wushuang who was walking towards her step by step. She wanted to pounce on her, "I missed you so much."

Mo Wushuang hadn't seen her daughter for more than a month, so of course she missed her daughter terribly. However, with outsiders present, she was more restrained. "You are so old, and you still act like a spoiled child. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Why should a daughter be ashamed of herself for acting like a spoiled brat to her mother?"

Shen Moyou held Mo Wushuang's arm tightly and refused to let go, "Is Jiangnan fun? Mom, can you take me there next time?"

The mother and daughter were so busy bonding that they completely forgot about Du Ruyi kneeling on the ground. Mo Wushuang quickly winked at Shen Moyu, "Oh, this is your fault. I, as a mother, didn't even know you were going to marry the prince. How did Miss Du know it first?"

Shen Moyou looked innocent, "Mom, this is the first time I've heard of this. Maybe there's some misunderstanding. What do you think, Miss Du?"

Du Ruyi knelt there, not knowing whether to respond or not. She felt very embarrassed for a moment and had to lower her head and remain silent, pretending to be dead.

But Mo Wushuang would not do as she wished. "Miss Du is the daughter of the Grand Tutor after all. You and my daughter Yoyo have never been married, but you are so bold that you come directly to ask the daughter of another family not to marry someone. Could this be the family education of the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"

"No, that's not the case..."

Du Ruyi's face turned pale. She shook her head desperately, wanting to explain, but she didn't know where to start. She looked at Mo Wushuang with tears streaming down her face, "Madam Mo, this matter has nothing to do with the Grand Tutor's Mansion. It's me..."

"So Miss Du is eager to marry? The prince? I'm just curious, why do you think Yoyo will marry the prince?"

Mo Wushuang was aggressive and her eyes were sharp. Her only weakness was Shen Moyu.

Now, just over a month after leaving the imperial city, Shen Moyu had encountered a series of accidents, forcing Mo Wushuang, who was originally going to stay in Jiangnan for a few more days, to shorten her trip and rush back, and she really encountered this drama.

"Yes... His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince sent someone to tell me that the Prime Minister has set his sights on the Crown Prince and wants to ask His Majesty for permission to marry him. But the Crown Prince and I have been childhood sweethearts. My father has always told me that I am the future Crown Princess. If I cannot marry the Crown Prince, I might as well die!"

Every word Du Ruyi said sounded heavy, but it made Shen Moyu feel cold in his heart.

She originally thought that Xiao Linchuan had Emperor Mingzhen send Xiao Ting to the border to negotiate with Dazhao, and that Xiao Ting would be more obedient as he was about to leave. It seemed that she was too naive.

"So you came here today at the instruction of the Seventh Prince?"

Shen Moyu looked at Du Ruyi with disappointment in his eyes. He had thought that she was extremely talented and smart, but now it seemed that was not entirely the case.

Just one sentence from Xiao Ting was enough to make Du Ruyi lose her mind and instantly lose her composure. I thought I had overestimated her.

"I'm sorry!"

Du Ruyi seemed to realize how inappropriate her behavior was. Her face turned pale as paper. She stood up from the ground and said with a hint of regret, "Please forgive me, Miss Shen."

"Miss Du, I will pretend that you have never been here today. Please go back!"

This was the only way Shen Moyu could think of that would preserve Du Ruyi's dignity.

However, Du Ruyi was unwilling to give up. "Can you tell me the exact truth about your relationship with the Crown Prince? What exactly are you..."
