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

"I don't understand!"

Xiao Ting suddenly stood up excitedly, took a few steps back and looked at Queen Su Mojie in disbelief. It was already this late, and she wasn't thinking about how to get her father to forgive her! ?

But how to avoid implicating her and Crown Prince Xiao Qi? Xiao Ting was almost on the verge of collapse. He felt that everything he had given for the past ten years was all in vain and fake.

"Eunuch An, have you heard me? What on earth has the Queen been doing these years? She has taught my legitimate son to be like this. How can a woman like this be the mother of a country? How can she be worthy of being the mother of the Crown Prince!?"

Queen Su Mojie and Xiao Ting were arguing fiercely at the door. Emperor Ming Zhen, who was in the imperial study, heard it all clearly and even got furious inside. Eunuch An was so scared that he knelt on the ground and dared not get up.

"Your Majesty, you must not speak of such things casually. The Queen is the mother of the country. I think she is just too concerned and that's why she speaks so carelessly. Please think twice."

Eunuch An was frightened to death. The furious look on Emperor Ming Zhen's face showed that he obviously wanted to depose the Queen and the Crown Prince.

Over the years, Emperor Mingzhen had thought about this, but there were countless old ministers in the court who supported the prince and Queen Su Mojie, and Emperor Mingzhen could do nothing about it.

That's why they had let it go for so many years, but now, some of the old ministers have died of old age or retired to their hometowns, and Empress Su Mojie is no longer a concern at all, which has made Emperor Mingzhen reconsider his idea.

As Eunuch An had served Emperor Mingzhen for many years, how could he not understand what was in his mind? However, even though he thought about it, he could not let Emperor Mingzhen really do it.

Words are as irreversible as spilled water, and Emperor Mingzhen, as the emperor, is even more binding. In the current situation, the only one who can be the crown prince is Xiao Qi. Otherwise, if someone else takes the lead, the consequences will be disastrous.

The more Eunuch An thought about it, the more frightened he became. His tone became more earnest, "Your Majesty and the Queen have been married for many years. I hope Your Majesty will spare the Queen this time for this favor."

"Eunuch An, please get up."

Emperor Mingzhen had a sullen look on his face. He didn't suspect that Eunuch An had any collusion with Queen Su Mojie, but he had made up his mind and didn't want to listen to Eunuch An's advice.

"His Majesty!"

Eunuch An knew that no matter what he said, he could not change Emperor Mingzhen's decision. He felt a little sad for a moment. "This matter is not without room for maneuver. Besides, you also know that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince must have been framed. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly before you proceed..."

"Eunuch An!"

Emperor Ming Zhen interrupted Eunuch An in a cold voice. His expression told Eunuch An that his patience had reached its limit. He only hoped that Eunuch An would stop while he was ahead and stop talking.

"I have spoken out of turn, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Eunuch An shut up at the right time. Since he had said so much and Emperor Mingzhen still did not want to let Empress Su Mojie and the others go, then he had done his best. No matter what happened to Empress Su Mojie and the others from now on, it had nothing to do with him.

"Eunuch An, please call the seventh brother in. I have something to say to him alone."

Emperor Mingzhen's words made Eunuch An tremble unconsciously, but he still did as he was told.

After he brought in Xiao Ting, who was kneeling at the door, he withdrew immediately. Since Emperor Ming Zhen said that he had something to say to Xiao Ting alone, it would not be appropriate for him to be present. As the eunuch chief for so many years, he still understood this measure.

When Xiao Ting came in, he was a little trembling, and the blood on his forehead seemed to tell Emperor Mingzhen what he had just experienced.

"My son has met my father."

Emperor Mingzhen looked at Xiao Ting in silence for a long time before he asked, "Seventh Brother, are you very unwilling?"

"Father, son and minister..."

When Xiao Ting heard Emperor Mingzhen's question, he immediately raised his head with some excitement, but when his eyes met Emperor Mingzhen's, his expression suddenly dimmed, "I dare not."

He no longer holds out any hope for Emperor Mingzhen, because it is meaningless. No matter what he does, it is impossible for him to be treated differently by Emperor Mingzhen. If that is the case, then why should he bother trying to please him?

"Why not? You were quite eloquent when you confronted your mother at the door just now. Why don't you dare now?"

Every word of Emperor Ming Zhen was like a knife, stabbing Xiao Ting beyond all recognition. The anger in his heart spread, and the hatred took root and sprouted violently, and he couldn't control it.

It turned out that his father knew everything all these years, but he still pretended to be stupid and let his mother do everything to him as if she knew nothing.

Xiao Ting didn't know what his mood was now. Was he in pain? It seemed not. Was he unhappy? It seemed not. Was he hateful? It seemed so.

He hated Emperor Mingzhen for not caring about his own affairs, and he also hated Queen Su Mojie for giving birth to him but ignoring him and doing nothing for all these years.

"Father, I said those words because I was angry at the time. I didn't mean them sincerely. I hope you don't take them to heart. I know that what happened this morning has brought shame to you. I don't have the face to face you."

It was obvious that Xiao Ting wanted to retreat in order to advance by saying this. Emperor Ming Zhen was well aware of this, but he did not expose it. Instead, his impression of Xiao Ting changed qualitatively.

"Seventh Brother, I am not asking you these questions to settle accounts with you later. I just want to ask you, what do you think of what your mother did? I hope you can tell the truth."

It either means that Emperor Zhen was able to stand out in the previous emperor's change of dynasty. He did such a bloodless killing without any effort at all, and he didn't even have any other emotions. He was extremely cold-hearted.

Obviously, Xiao Ting understood what Emperor Mingzhen meant, and he also knew that this was an opportunity given to him by Emperor Mingzhen, and he could not let it go no matter what.

"Father, although you are the Queen Mother, you have done many things that are out of line over the years. They are not what a Queen Mother should do at all. I don't agree with these things!"

Xiao Ting's obvious perversion was obviously to please Emperor Mingzhen. He liked smart people. The fact that he ignored Xiao Ting for so many years was actually also due to Queen Su Mojie.

Since one son has been chosen as the crown prince, the other should be abandoned as a matter of course. He originally thought that Queen Su Mojie gave up Xiao Ting because he was too mediocre.

Now it seems that Emperor Mingzhen does not think so. The reason why Empress Su Mojie gave up Xiao Ting might be because this son might be out of her control.

As they have been married for many years, they have some understanding of each other. Thinking of this, Emperor Ming Zhen's face became extremely ugly. He was angry that he had been plotted against by the person next to him all these years.
