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

"Mother!"

When Queen Su Mojie heard this, her eyes widened instantly, she turned around and shouted, her face full of disbelief, "Do you know what you are doing?"

She couldn't believe it. Things weren't beyond redemption yet, and even her father hadn't been found yet. Why was her mother going to sell her out?

"My queen, I understand that you have no choice, but you have repeatedly used your mother's family as an excuse. I have watched the Marquis lead the Wuyang Marquisate and the Su family to an irreparable situation step by step for you for so many years. Do you think that at this moment, Your Majesty will remain indifferent?"

Not only did Queen Su Mojie think that Madam Su was crazy, but even Su Moli beside her kept pulling Madam Su's sleeves.

I thought she had given a clear enough warning, but who would have thought that Madam Su would continue to make things even more shocking, which made it even more confusing.

In front of so many people, she didn't even give Queen Su Mojie any respect, let alone the inner heart. In this case, even if things are settled in the future, it will become a knot between Queen Su Mojie and the Su family of Wuyang Marquis's Mansion. Couldn't Old Madam Su think of this?

In fact, Old Madam Su really couldn't think of it, and she didn't want to think about it. Now that things had come to this, she just wanted to know where Wuyang Hou Su Boyan was and whether he was in danger.

Over the years, she watched Wuyang Hou Su Boyan give everything for his daughter, Queen Su Mojie, only to end up with nothing in return. Now even his life might be in danger.

This was totally unacceptable to Madam Su, so she was willing to become enemies with her own daughter, the Queen Su Mojie, even after this incident.

"Madam Su, I don't quite understand what you mean."

There was a flash of surprise in Emperor Mingzhen's eyes. He probably didn't expect that Empress Su Mojie would be stabbed in the back by her own family in such a situation.

But this is also understandable. Over the years, Queen Su Mojie has always been doing whatever she wants with the Su family of Wuyang Marquis Mansion, but has never thought about doing anything for them. So in the eyes of Emperor Mingzhen, it is only a matter of time before the Su family of Wuyang Marquis Mansion betrays them.

Queen Su Mojie's panic continued to grow. She was really scared. She was afraid that her father would not be able to return safely, and she was also afraid that her mother would say something that would harm her.

"Prince, your grandmother is not feeling well today. You should send someone to take her back to the palace to rest."

Queen Su Mojie gave Crown Prince Xiao Qi a look, but this matter was too big. He was next to Xiao Ting when he was assassinated just now. He was also scared and even couldn't believe it. He didn't believe that a biological mother would kill her own child.

So when Queen Su Mojie gave him a look, indicating that he should deal with Old Madam Su, he chose to turn a blind eye.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Crown Prince Xiao Qi is not suitable to inherit the throne. He is too indecisive, always listens to others, and never has his own ideas and opinions.

Even though he chose to turn a blind eye now, it was because of instructions from the Seventh Prince Xiao Ting and the Fifth Prince Xiao Ling before he entered the palace.

He knew clearly what the consequences of doing so would be, but he obviously had no better choice now. Under such circumstances, Queen Su Mojie had lost the emperor's favor.

So Crown Prince Xiao Qi is actually quite smart. He knows that in the current situation, it is better for him to stay close to the Seventh Prince Xiao Ting and the Fifth Prince Xiao Ling.

"Queen, do you think I'm not here? I can tell whether Madam Su is sick or not. You don't need to tell me. You should think about how to explain to me that Su Boyan escaped from the imperial city."

Emperor Ming Zhen now not only did not give face to Empress Su Mojie, but if he could not depose the Crown Prince immediately, he would have wanted to kill the Empress right now.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on. As for my father, I've said I'll give you an explanation. Why don't you believe me?"

Queen Su Mojie felt like she was going crazy. It had only been a short time, and yet everyone was going against her.

From the moment she wanted to kill Xiao Ting, things went in a direction that she could no longer control. She could have handled any of the problems well.

But now, one thing is linked to another, she has no way out, let alone the possibility of doing anything, so when she thought about it, she became even more panicked.

"It's not that I don't believe the Queen, but what the Queen did made me really not know how to believe it."

Emperor Mingzhen pressed his aching brows. This birthday banquet was doomed to not continue. When he thought of this, he wanted to kill the queen immediately.

"Your Majesty, there are still so many court officials and their families here. Why don't we let them go back first and find a way to deal with other matters later."

Concubine Ruan came over and suggested in a low voice. She was not doing this for Emperor Mingzhen's sake, but she felt that if this matter were to get out, it would not be good for her son and daughter.

But now she already knows what she should know, so even if she wants to cover it up, it's useless.

"Empress Ruan, I don't need your hypocritical kindness, I don't need it!"

Queen Su Mojie looked at Concubine Ruan with gritted teeth. She had clearly dominated Concubine Ruan just now, but now, she was kneeling while Concubine Ruan acted so superior, which made people angry.

"Don't misunderstand, Queen. I am not saying these words for you. I am saying them for Your Majesty and the princes and princesses. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the Crown Prince. If this matter gets out, how can he gain a foothold in the court?"

Concubine Ruan didn't take Queen Su Mojie seriously at all. At this moment, she wouldn't be able to cause any big trouble, so why should she care?

"Your Highness, what you said makes sense. Let's do it this way. I am tired. I will leave the affairs here to Your Highness."

Emperor Mingzhen's tone was full of fatigue. He didn't even look at Empress Su Mojie again. He stood up and left the hall without saying a word.

Everyone was feeling terrified as they watched Emperor Mingzhen leave, not knowing what would happen next. Many people even regretted coming to today's birthday party.

But then again, it's not like they can just not attend if they don't want to. After all, it's Emperor Mingzhen's birthday party, and if Emperor Mingzhen wants them to attend, they dare not not come.

"Everyone, the birthday banquet ends here. I am really sorry that something unexpected happened today and ruined your mood. The Japanese palace will definitely host a banquet in person to make up for today's regret."

Concubine Ruan's words were reasonable and made them feel more at ease. As for the banquet she mentioned, it was unnecessary. They should be thankful that today's incident did not affect them.
