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

With Xiao Ting's words, Emperor Mingzhen naturally thought more carefully and knew what his son was planning.

"Ting'er, your father was influenced by your mother in the past, so he neglected you. I'm sorry that you have been wronged over the years."

Emperor Mingzhen finally stood up from his dragon throne, walked to Xiao Ting, raised his hand and patted Xiao Ting's shoulder heavily, "Father will compensate you in the future."

"Father..."

Xiao Ting looked up at his father in disbelief. The surprise in his eyes could not be faked. He could not believe that Emperor Mingzhen would admit his mistake to him on his own initiative.

"Ting'er, your suffering will not be let go. Your mother will also be held accountable for all the evil she has done."

Emperor Mingzhen was also frightened by Xiao Ting's red eyes. He had not expected that among so many sons, only this one truly wanted his approval. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was more emotional or Xiao Ting was more moved.

"Father, I was born to you, so whatever you do to me is natural. I dare not say anything, but I really cannot accept what she did to you."

Every word Xiao Ting said touched Emperor Mingzhen's heart, making him feel that this son was extremely caring. However, he never thought that Xiao Ting's words were just what he wanted to hear.

"Yes, these things, let alone you, even father as the person involved would not be able to accept them."

Emperor Mingzhen nodded with deep feeling, and instantly felt much closer to his son.

In fact, when it comes down to it, although he is an emperor, he is also an ordinary person. He also hopes to have the normal family happiness and have children and grandchildren around him. However, these are all under the premise that they do not harm his interests, otherwise they are all empty talk.

"Father, I hope you will not misunderstand what happened this morning. I will give you a satisfactory explanation and find out the origins of these people."

Xiao Ting couldn't wait to show his loyalty and wanted to tell Emperor Ming Zhen directly that these were all Shen Moyu's masterpieces, but he couldn't and shouldn't do so.

Not to mention that Shen Moyu is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, the Mo family alone is enough to give Emperor Ming Zhen a headache, so it is impossible for him to just drag Shen Moyu out without any evidence.

"Do you need my help?"

Emperor Mingzhen was very touched by Xiao Ting's loyalty. His caring question was enough to move Xiao Ting. He shook his head and said, "This is just a small matter. I can handle it myself."

With Xiao Ting's words, Emperor Ming Zhen felt relieved. He said meaningfully, "You will leave for the border in a few days. Do you have any requests?"

"Father, I do have a wish. If you can help me realize it, I will be very grateful."

Since Emperor Mingzhen said so, Xiao Ting would not really be polite to him and would go straight to the point.

"Ting'er, if you have any wishes, just tell me. If your father can fulfill them, he will definitely fulfill them."

Emperor Mingzhen's impression of Xiao Ting has completely changed, so if Xiao Ting's request is not difficult, he will be happy to be a kind father.

"I hope that your Majesty will agree not to marry Shen Moyou, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, to the crown prince."

Xiao Ting took a deep breath and blurted out the words that he had been keeping in his heart for a long time.

Emperor Mingzhen's originally cheerful expression immediately turned gloomy, "Ting'er, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know, but I still want to say that the daughter of the Shen family cannot marry the prince. Father, think about it carefully. Now the prince already has the queen mother and the Wuyang Marquisate as his backing. If he adds the prime minister's residence and the Mo family, will anyone else have a foothold in the court?"

Xiao Ting did not care about the feelings between mother and son, or brothers, and laid out all the interests. In his opinion, since Queen Su Mojie and Crown Prince Xiao Qi were both unkind, what if he was unjust?

"Go on."

Emperor Mingzhen's face became increasingly gloomy, but he asked Xiao Ting to continue speaking. Although Xiao Ting was a little nervous and afraid, since Emperor Mingzhen asked him to speak, he felt safe and spoke frankly.

"I know that you did not intend to make my brother the crown prince at first, but at that time the Su family was at its peak and mother was the legitimate daughter of the Su family, so you had no choice but to follow the wishes of mother and Marquis Wuyang. But now the situation is completely different."

Emperor Mingzhen raised his eyebrows, and was very interested in what Xiao Ting said. "Why are the situations different? Tell me about it."

"The Su family of Wuyang Marquis's Mansion has been gradually marginalized in the court and has no say at all. In recent years, my mother has been devoted to training the crown prince and has no time to care about other things. Therefore, she is powerless in many things. This gives us an opportunity..."

When Xiao Ting said this, he subconsciously wanted to check Emperor Mingzhen's expression. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his expression and that he seemed to be listening with great interest, he heaved a sigh of relief and continued speaking.

"So you can't marry the daughter of the Shen family to the prince, otherwise it will give them a chance to turn things around. What do you think, father?"

"If we don't marry the daughter of the Shen family to the prince, and we don't want to arouse the suspicion of the queen and the Su family, who do you think is suitable for the prince?"

Emperor Ming Zhen deliberately asked for Xiao Ting's opinion, and he really wanted to know what he thought about this matter.

"The daughter of Grand Tutor Du, Du Ruyi, is the most suitable candidate. Father, think carefully. Du Ruyi and the prince grew up together and have a childhood sweetheart relationship. In addition, although Grand Tutor has many disciples in the court, they are not a big threat. Father can control them all."

What Xiao Ting said were all carefully considered words. He did not think that Emperor Ming Zhen would trust him just because of his few words. The heart of the emperor was the most unpredictable, and he could not take the risk.

"Yes, Ting'er, Father is really surprised."

Emperor Mingzhen once again refreshed his perception of Xiao Ting. He felt that he was extremely surprised by him and even thought that he was the best son.

"Father, I'm sure you know what I said. I'm just giving you a chance to show off. But please rest assured, I will never let you down."

Xiao Ting's statement once again pleased Emperor Mingzhen. He looked at Xiao Ting with a gentle expression, "If you can successfully negotiate with Dazhao this time, your father can also arrange a marriage for you. Do you have a favorite woman?"

"Father, I have someone I love, but I know I am not worthy of her, so I will follow your arrangements."

Xiao Ting lowered his head, pretending to be submissive, which made Emperor Mingzhen feel distressed. "Ting'er, you are a prince, how can there be someone who is not worthy of you? Who do you like? Tell your father, and your father will decide for you."
