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

Chapter 161: Not enough success, more than enough failure

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't do it..."

Qin Si, the leader of the Imperial Guards who was called out, stepped forward with an embarrassment on his face. What could the people present not understand?

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Emperor Ming Zhen could tell at a glance that Qin Si had something else in his words, and his gloomy look made people shudder.

Qin Si knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Su is not in the imperial city right now. The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince have already informed me. I immediately sent people to the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, but they didn't find him. After tracking his whereabouts, I found that Lord Su had already left the city."

"Father...Father..."

Queen Su Mojie was dumbfounded. Why was this different from what she expected?

I thought that even if Wuyang Hou Su Boyan didn't accomplish this, he would at least know how to clean up the mess. But now it's obviously not the case, which makes Queen Su Mojie completely at a loss as to what to do! ?

"Queen, I need an explanation."

Emperor Mingzhen looked sternly at Queen Su Mojie who was kneeling before him. His patience had reached its limit.

He knew clearly what these people had done behind his back, but he had no evidence. However, now that something was right in front of him, how could Emperor Mingzhen let go of such a great opportunity?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. There must be a misunderstanding. My father would never do such a thing. Your Majesty, I am innocent..."

Queen Su Mojie knelt down and took a step forward, not caring about her image anymore, and directly hugged Emperor Mingzhen's thigh, her tone anxious and fearful.

She was afraid. She was afraid that this incident would affect her, that the prince's position in the court would be lost, and she was even more afraid that the Wuyang Marquisate, which had always let her do whatever she wanted, would fall from power.

These things made her anxious, but it was of no use, because even she didn't know where Su Boyan from Wuyang Marquis' Mansion had gone.

"Since you are wrongly accused, then tell me where your father is right now? Today is my birthday banquet, and he, as the father-in-law of the emperor, did not show up. Queen, do you think this is justified?"

Emperor Mingzhen waved away the hand of Empress Su Mojie that was tightly grasping his robe, and leaned forward, stretched out his hands to pinch her cheeks, squeezing them hard.

"Empress, I have done my utmost to help the Su family of Wuyang Marquis Mansion. Is this how you repay me?"

Queen Su Mojie was so frightened that tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably, drop by drop. She kept shaking her head, not caring whether she was in front of so many people or not.

"Your Majesty, please give me some time. I will find my father and bring him to you. I will ask him to give you an explanation. Please believe me!"

Queen Su Mojie was so resentful that she wanted to strangle Wuyang Marquis Su Boyan to death. He was a man who could not do anything but cause trouble!

"Your Majesty, I also think there is some misunderstanding in this matter?"

Old Madam Su suddenly stood up from her seat and looked towards Emperor Ming Zhen who was sitting high on the throne. She claimed to be the mother-in-law of Emperor Ming Zhen, so naturally she spoke with more confidence.

Queen Su Mojie closed her eyes. She had never regretted as much as she did now. If she had known earlier, she would not have allowed Old Madam Su and Su Moli to attend Emperor Mingzhen's birthday banquet.

This scene was obviously causing trouble for her. What she had never expected was that Madam Su, who was always steady and prudent, would actually act like this. Didn't she know where this place was?!

"Since Madam Su said this was a misunderstanding, why don't you tell me where the misunderstanding lies? Or is it that the wife of Marquis Wuyang and the Marquis are deeply in love, so my imperial guards can't find the Marquis. Does Madam Wuyang know?"

Being humiliated by Emperor Mingzhen in public, Old Lady Su's expression suddenly became gloomy. She knew that her son-in-law was the emperor, but even if he was the emperor, he had to know the most basic human feelings and give her, the mother-in-law, some face.

"Your Majesty, what I just said is that I think the Marquis cannot do this. I really don't know where he is, but as the Queen said, the Su family will definitely give you an explanation."

Madam Su was so sure at this moment that this matter had nothing to do with the Marquis Wuyang's Mansion that she would be slapped in the face even more loudly later.

Queen Su Mojie collapsed on the ground. She was so full of energy just now arguing with Concubine Ruan, but now, because of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, she had no idea what her future would be like.

"Madam Su, it is absolutely true that Lord Su wants to kill me. If you don't believe it, you will understand after you have interrogated the assassins in Marquis Wuyang's mansion."

Seeing that Old Madam Su acted as if it had nothing to do with him, Xiao Ting could not bear the anger in his heart. Since the Wuyang Marquis' Mansion dared to do such a thing, they must be willing to take responsibility for it. Especially now that he has made it clear that he wants to draw a line between himself and the Queen and the Wuyang Marquis' Mansion, then he does not need to show mercy.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince..."

Old Madam Su was about to say something, but Su Moli reached out and tugged at her sleeve in time to stop her.

"Mother, please stop talking. The situation is unclear and we don't know where father is. The more you say, the more mistakes you will make. What if this matter is really related to our Wuyang Marquis Mansion? How will you end it then?"

After she finished saying this, Madam Su's face turned visibly pale. She couldn't understand why her own Marquis would go through so much trouble instead of living a good life.

Suddenly, she turned her head and stared at the back of Queen Su Mojie. She suddenly realized something. All of this might be related to Queen Su Mojie.

It must be, because one day before Emperor Mingzhen’s birthday banquet, Marquis Wuyang had entered the palace to look for Empress Su Mojie, so she didn’t believe that this matter had nothing to do with Empress Su Mojie.

But now nothing is certain, and she doesn't dare to say anything carelessly. She is just becoming more and more dissatisfied with her daughter.

In the past, before Empress Su Mojie married into the royal family, the Su family of Wuyang Marquis's Mansion was at its peak and prosperous. But now, with Empress Su Mojie marrying Emperor Mingzhen, it has completely declined.

Even though Marquis Wuyang tried every possible way to reverse this situation which was not conducive to the development of Marquis Wuyang's Mansion, it was of no avail, because as long as the empress was from the Su family, Emperor Mingzhen would definitely not give the Su family any chance to rise.

Thinking of this, Old Madam Su suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted that she did not speak up to stop Empress Su Mojie when she wanted to marry into the royal family. She thought that Empress Su Mojie marrying Emperor Ming Zhen would make the Su family of Wuyang Marquis' Mansion even more prosperous.

Little did she know that from the day she married into the royal family, the Su family would never have a chance to turn things around. The more Old Madam Su thought about this, the deeper her gaze became as she looked at Queen Su Mojie's back.

"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you. It concerns the Queen. I hope Your Majesty can give me a chance to speak clearly."
