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

Xiao Ting's question made Queen Su Mojie at a loss for words and she just kept silent with a cold face.

She could not remember since when this son became unimportant. She only saw Xiao Qi, the prince who could bring glory for her.

But it was clear that a long time ago, she also loved her son Xiao Ting, but now when she thinks about it, she can only sigh.

"Xiao Ting, it's not that I don't love and protect you, but look at what you have done. Is there anything that is worthy of my attention?"

Once people do something wrong, they are used to pushing the responsibility aside. Even someone as noble as the queen is the same. Because she doesn't know how to answer Xiao Ting's questions, she simply uses moral kidnapping.

As long as she acts more confidently, it won't be her fault. This is what Queen Su Mojie thought and did.

She thought Xiao Ting didn't know what she was thinking, but as mother and son for so many years, how could he not know? He didn't say it before only because he still cherished this mother-son relationship and didn't want to hurt their feelings because of other things.

But now, it was not him who gave up his mother, but Queen Su Mojie who completely gave up on him.

Xiao Ting lowered his hands dejectedly. The pain on his cheek was far less unbearable than the pain in his heart. He was completely buried in the shadows, looking as if he would break at the slightest touch.

"Xiao Ting, I am warning you for the last time. Be obedient in the future. Otherwise, if you anger your father, I will no longer protect you. Go back!"

Queen Su Mojie spoke coldly. Somehow, she was a little afraid to face Xiao Ting now. She always felt a little guilty about facing him.

"Yes, I will follow your instructions."

Xiao Ting seemed to have been drained of all his strength and didn't even know how to return to his own bedroom.

"Empress, to put it bluntly, this matter was caused by the one from the Shen family. Our Seventh Prince is innocent too. Why are you..."

Feicui looked at Xiao Ting's back as he walked away, and finally couldn't help but spoke out.

In fact, Queen Su Mojie also felt a little regretful. Although she didn't value Xiao Ting that much, he was her son after all. How could she not love him?

"He inherited this temper from me. Neither the mother nor the son is willing to give in. Aren't we going to fight head-on?"

Queen Su Mojie sighed and pressed her hand between her brows, "Fei Cui, do you think I am old and no longer attractive?"

"Your Highness is in your prime, why are you saying such sad things?"

Feicui was greatly shocked, but she understood Emperor Mingzhen's attitude tonight. In the past few years, Emperor Mingzhen came to Jingning Palace only a few times. Several times, he even used the excuse that he had not finished reviewing memorials in the imperial study and could not come, even though the rules for the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month were set by the ancestors.

She saw Queen Su Mojie's disappointment and kept it in her heart, but she never dared to say it out loud. If this matter was made clear, whoever encountered it would die.

"Then why didn't your Majesty even look at me just now? Feicui, look at my face, how does it compare to Concubine Ruan?"

Queen Su Mojie touched her face as if possessed. One had to admit that although she had taken good care of herself, she was still old and showed signs of aging.

In the palace, one only hears the laughter of new people but never the crying of old ones. She watched helplessly as Emperor Ming Zhen took in new beauties one after another. Not only could she not be jealous, but sometimes she even had to generously help choose. How could anyone who had not experienced it know the sadness and pain in it?

"Your Highness, you must have been too tired recently, so you have been thinking nonsense. You and His Majesty are a young couple, and your relationship has lasted for so many years. How can those vulgar women compare to you?"

Feicui stood behind Queen Su Mojie, gently pressing her temples to relax her nerves, and kept comforting her, "What happened tonight was sudden, and naturally caught Your Majesty off guard, but I can see that Your Majesty still has you in his heart, otherwise how could he have made such a big thing a small thing?"

Feicui's words were very useful to Queen Su Mojie. The gloomy mood she had just felt had dissipated a lot, and there was a little more smile on her face.

"You are the one who makes me feel comfortable."

Queen Su Mojie patted Feicui's back of the hand. For so many years, she had been able to stand firm in Jingning Palace and serve Queen Su Mojie all the time. It was her own ability.

"It is my blessing to be able to share the worries of the Queen."

Although Feicui spoke modestly, she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart. As long as she could always win face in front of Queen Su Mojie, then what did she have to be afraid of?

"That little girl from the Shen family is really a tough one. If you have a chance, you should teach her a lesson for me."

Queen Su Mojie was hinting and also making it clear that since Shen Moyu has been confirmed as the future Crown Princess, every possible show of authority must be made.

"I know what to do now."

When Feicui heard this, she became even more arrogant. Before, Shen Moyu and the others said that she was deliberately making things difficult for them. It was obvious that she was doing this under the orders of the Queen. Let's see if she dares to say it again in the future.

"By the way, how is the Crown Prince doing these days? I haven't seen him come into the palace to pay his respects to me in the past two days."

The queen is most concerned about the crown prince Xiao Qi, because only when the crown prince really ascends the throne can she truly become the most noble person in the world. As for the rest, none of it matters.

"Didn't you ask the Crown Prince to win over the Seventh Prince's staff last time? That's why the Crown Prince has been working hard these past few days. If you miss him, I will ask the Crown Prince to come to the palace to pay his respects to you tomorrow."

Feicui carefully tried to figure out what Queen Su Mojie was thinking, but it either meant that Emperor Zhen and Queen Su Mojie were a couple, they had one thing in common, they were both suspicious.

No matter what happens, she only trusts three-tenths of it, especially people. Although on the surface Feicui is a first-class maid in Jingning Palace and is deeply trusted by Queen Su Mojie, Feicui knows very well that if she makes the slightest mistake, she will be killed without a burial place.

"No need for that. Since he has this intention, let him really make some achievements for me to see. This way, I will know that my decision to do my best to help him ascend to the throne of the Crown Prince was correct."

If Xiao Ting heard what Queen Su Mojie said, it would probably cause another kind of harm.

Once upon a time, Xiao Ting obeyed every word of Queen Su Mojie, but he never thought that he had lost the qualification to be the crown prince since he was born. He was the one who was abandoned.

"Your Highness will surely understand your good intentions."

Feicui didn't dare to say much, and could only carefully respond to Queen Su Mojie's heartfelt expressions.

"Tomorrow, remember to go to Concubine Ruan's palace and tell her that I am not feeling well. Ask her to copy more Buddhist scriptures to pray for me."
