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

"Xiao Xuan, shut up!"

Queen Su Mojie scolded loudly. She seemed to have guessed what Xiao Xuan was planning. She went to so much trouble to get the prince here, wasn't it just to alienate them?

"Why didn't the Queen Mother let the Fourth Imperial Sister speak?"

Crown Prince Xiao Qi turned his head with a puzzled look on his face, "Could it be that you also know about this?"

"Qi'er, it's not what you think!"

Queen Su Mojie was a little nervous and wanted to explain without thinking, but as soon as she opened her mouth she knew she was wrong. Being too hasty in such matters would only make it seem like she was trying to cover up something.

"It's not what I thought, then what is it?"

Crown Prince Xiao Qi suddenly found it a little ridiculous. It was ridiculous that Xiao Ting always said that his mother loved him the most, but now, his mother had the bad habit of making excuses when she was anxious. How could she really love him? ?

"Prince, don't be swayed by people with ulterior motives. Xiao Xuan said this just to sow discord between you and me."

Queen Su Mojie looked at Xiao Xuan with a sinister look, "You can't live in peace unless you harm me, right?"

Xiao Xuan was surprised, thinking that Queen Su Mojie was wrongly accusing her, "Why did you say that, mother? I am just telling the truth, how can I harm you?"

"Tell the truth? When did you not tell the truth? Why did you have to lure the crown prince here to tell the truth? Ting'er's matter was originally a misunderstanding. You suddenly said this, aren't you planning to make the brothers kill each other?"

Every word that Empress Su Mojie said revealed Xiao Xuan's ulterior motives, but Xiao Xuan spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Mother, I have absolutely no such intention, but it is a fact that the Seventh Prince almost killed Mo You. How can it be wrong for me to speak with facts?"

"Yes, mother, Xuan'er is right. Xiao Ting has indeed been doing things more and more out of line recently. If you are reluctant to discipline him, then hand him over to me and let me discipline him."

Crown Prince Xiao Qi had a cold expression on his face. In the past, he just thought that his younger brother was ignorant, but now he felt that his younger brother seemed to be a little bit annoying.

Especially the incident with Shen Moyu, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable. After all, he had really cared about this younger brother for so many years.

But if their own interests are involved, they are not brothers but enemies. He and Xiao Ting are both legitimate children, and Crown Prince Xiao Qi understands this better than anyone else.

The reason why he could become the crown prince was simply because he was the eldest son. He knew this, and Xiao Ting knew it even better.

Even their mother, Queen Su Mojie, knew the truth. Moreover, for so many years, everyone knew that Queen Su Mojie favored him. Xiao Ting felt unfair because of this repeatedly.

But life is unfair. It was like this for him and for Xiao Ting as well. He once treated Xiao Ting as his own brother because he felt sorry for Xiao Ting.

His father didn't love him, his mother didn't care about him, and even the court officials didn't like him. Only his brother was willing to take him out to play.

But Xiao Ting should never, ever have set his eyes on the person he liked. Shen Moyou was the person his mother promised to marry her to as the Crown Princess, and now she hasn't become the Crown Princess yet, but her life is almost in danger because of Xiao Ting.

This made Crown Prince Xiao Qi feel that his former kindness towards Xiao Ting was no longer important. He even felt a little regretful. He regretted why he was so heartless when his father and mother blamed and ignored him.

"Prince, do you know what you are saying? He is your own brother. You and him are both my children. I have been partial to you for so many years. Now I am just trying to make up for it. Don't you want to fulfill your mother's love for you?"

Queen Su Mojie looked at Crown Prince Xiao Qi with disappointment in her eyes. She had not expected that just because of Xiao Xuan's words of sowing discord, Xiao Qi would disregard the brotherhood and even the relationship between mother and son.

This made Queen Su Mojie feel particularly heartbroken. She had spent such a huge price to bring Crown Prince Xiao Qi to this position, but in the end, she was not even as good as a woman who had not yet married into the Eastern Palace.

"What is this that the Queen Mother is saying?"

After hearing what Queen Su Mojie said, Crown Prince Xiao Qi hesitated a little, "I just feel that my seventh brother lacks discipline. I just don't want my own brother to be misunderstood."

"Your words may sound nice, but Prince, please don't forget that you were born by me. I know what you are thinking. Besides, I have already said that what happened last night was just a misunderstanding. Why are you still holding on to it?"

Queen Su Mojie couldn't understand why Xiao Qi took Xiao Xuan's casual words so seriously.

"Xuan'er, tell me, what happened last night? Was it a misunderstanding?"

Crown Prince Xiao Qi did not believe what Queen Su Mojie said at first, but turned to look at his sister.

How could Xiao Xuan let go of such a good opportunity to add fuel to the fire? "Prince, Mo You was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother yesterday to take care of her illness. But you know that the Queen Mother is in good health. There is no need for her to take care of her illness. Isn't it just to make things difficult for Mo You?"

"Mother, is what Xuan'er said true?"

Xiao Qi looked at his mother with a painful expression. He didn't understand why the world outside seemed to have changed so much when he had only stayed in the East Palace for a few days.

Even his always respected mother has become so vicious. She had clearly agreed to let Shen Moyou marry him, but now she has set up a trap to frame Shen Moyou.

He really didn't understand his own mother's thoughts. He even indulged Xiao Ting and hurt Shen Moyu. What good would this do for her?

Queen Su Mojie looked at her son coldly, "Prince, since you have already determined what kind of person your mother is, why bother asking?"

"I just can't believe it. I can't believe that the mother I have always respected would be such a person. As long as you say it's not, as long as you say you didn't do it and didn't want to plot against Miss Shen, I will believe you!"

Crown Prince Xiao Qi's eyes were red. He still had hope for his mother. After all, his mother had risked everything to allow him to ascend to the throne of crown prince, and now she was also making plans for him with all her heart. He didn't think his mother would do such a thing.

However, to his disappointment, Queen Su Mojie nodded calmly, "It was indeed me who allowed the daughter of the Shen family to enter the palace, but she only entered the palace to take care of the sick. Prince, don't you know that I have been unwell for many days? I don't blame you for not caring about me, but you shouldn't listen to others and question me like this!?"

Queen Su Mojie is a typical example of a villain who files a complaint first, but justice is in the hearts of the people, and it is not a matter of who is more right than the other.
