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

"What about people?"

Su Mojie's fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, gently stroked the back of her hand, one by one, slowly and leisurely, which frightened Marquis Wuyang.

"She's still in the mansion, madam. The Prime Minister's residence will definitely investigate. Your mother's intention is to protect her one last time."

"Father, do you think that being the Queen is easy for me? You brought her back just to create problems for me?"

Every time Su Mojie said something, Marquis Wuyang sweat dropped a drop of his own sweat. Later, he was sweating profusely and simply knelt down again, "Empress, I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Father, if I protect her, what will I get?"

Even if they are close family members, they will not help if there is no benefit or interest. As the Queen Mingzhen, Su Mojie understands the reasoning even better.

"My lady, the Marquis of Wuyang has already used all its strength to serve the Crown Prince. What else do you want?"

It is sad to say, but if the whole family does not join forces, the Su family already has a queen, and with Emperor Mingzhen's suspicion, it is certainly impossible for her to have a seat in the Mingzhen court.

"Not enough. Father, you should understand what I mean. Although the Crown Prince has been in the court for these years, most of the ministers in the court do not regard him as the future crown prince. If this continues, the Crown Prince will exist in name only. You are his grandfather, shouldn't you do your part?"

Marquis Wuyang was shaking violently. After so many years, he knew that his daughter was no longer the same as when she first married into the royal family.

He still remembered that when Su Mojie had just gotten married, she repeatedly assured him that she would always put Marquis Wuyang first in everything, and that even if she entered the imperial palace, she would still be the daughter of the Su family, and would not lose her original intentions just because of her high position.

When did it start to change? It seemed that when Emperor Mingzhen had just appointed a crown prince, Su Mojie sent someone to tell him to tone down his edge and pave the way for the crown prince's future.

Because he was his grandson and thinking about the merit of following the emperor, Marquis Wuyang was happy to follow the arrangements, but gradually, things went beyond his control.

Su Mojie's demands became more and more excessive. She would not allow any dissenting voices to exist in the court. From her initial retirement to killing people for her later, she eliminated all those who stood in the way of her and the prince.

"What does your Majesty want me to do?"

Things have come to this point. Since he has opened the mouth, it is impossible for him to leave Jingning Palace easily. Even though he knows this, he has no choice.

Both of them are his daughters. They are his flesh and blood. If he can save one, he must help the other. Otherwise, there will be no peace in the Marquis of Wuyang’s Mansion.

"I heard that Prime Minister Shen's daughter is about to reach the age of marriage. What do you think, father, if she becomes the Crown Princess?"

Wu Yanghou was naturally aware of Su Mojie's plan, and the embarrassment on his face was also visible to the naked eye.

"But Madam, once what Li'er did is discovered, I'm afraid the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Wuyang's Mansion will reach a freezing point."

"Then it all depends on your father's ability. I believe in you. Besides, the Crown Princess is the dream of all unmarried girls. I think the daughter of the Shen family will not refuse."

Su Mojie spoke with great confidence, but Marquis Wuyang was so worried that he didn't know what to do. If only it were that simple.

"I will do my best."

Marquis Wuyang is an outsider and cannot stay in the palace for long. Now that he has received Su Mojie's approval, it is time for him to leave.

"I am tired. If father is alright, please go back home early to take care of it. I will let Ting'er help you."

Su Mojie yawned and looked like she was really sleepy, so Marquis Wuyang had to respectfully take his leave.

It was already late when they left the palace. Marquis Wuyang was in a hurry. Xiao Ting caught up with him on horseback and rode in the carriage with him back to Marquis Wuyang's mansion.

"Grandpa, my mother sent someone to tell me that there is trouble in the mansion."

Compared to Crown Prince Xiao Qi, Xiao Ting is actually more popular because he is better at pretending and behaves better than the crown prince.

Perhaps it was because the prince was the heir apparent to a country, and Xiao Ting could bend and stretch in many matters, but the prince Xiao Qi could not bring himself to do so, so Marquis Wuyang actually loved his grandson more.

He even often wondered in his heart, if the prince was this grandson, would the current situation of the Wuyang Marquisate be less difficult?

"This old minister greets His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

Marquis Wuyang's face was full of fatigue, but then again, since Su Mojie was willing to let Xiao Ting intervene in this matter, it also indirectly showed that she still had the Su family in her heart.

"Grandpa, you don't have to do this to me."

Xiao Ting quickly raised his hand to stop him. Because they were in a carriage, Marquis Wuyang did not perform any formal ceremony.

"Your Highness, I regret this."

In front of Xiao Ting, Marquis Wuyang didn't say much politely. He trusted his grandson very much.

"Grandpa, what happened?"

There was worry on Xiao Tingjunya's face, as if he was really worried about Wuyang Marquis Mansion and felt sorry for his grandfather.

"It was your mother's sister who caused a huge mess for the family. Grandpa was really at the end of his rope, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the palace to beg your mother."

In fact, if Su Moli had targeted civilians, the Wuyang Marquisate would have been able to cover up the matter completely. Unfortunately, her target was Shen Moyu.

Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion is willing to settle the matter, I'm afraid the Mo family may not agree. Now the Queen has given him an even bigger problem.

"Isn't she the prime minister's concubine? Grandpa, what trouble can she cause?"

Xiao Ting smiled, looking like he didn't take Marquis Wuyang's words seriously, but a flash of gloom in his eyes betrayed him.

"Today is the Shangsi Festival, so yesterday she went to Qingya Temple with your grandmother, Shen Moyou and Shen Lian'er from the Shen family, and your fourth sister to burn incense. Originally, this was a good thing, but..."

Marquis Wuyang couldn't help but sigh halfway through his speech. He couldn't understand why Su Moli would take such a risky move.

"But what conflict did they have?"

Xiao Ting continued to play dumb, his eyes sincere, "If there is a conflict, I can help to mediate. The Shen family's daughter made quite a splash at the Hundred Flowers Banquet a few days ago. I also want to see her again."

"If that's the case, it's easy to deal with. Ting'er, Shen Lian'er is dead. She was raped to death!"

Speaking of this, Marquis Wuyang was still frightened. Although he had not seen Shen Lian'er's body, his wife's description was simply horrific.

Therefore, he did not quite believe that the matter could be resolved amicably. Only his wife and the Queen Mother thought that the matter could be resolved amicably.

Xiao Ting's expression changed instantly. He knew that there was quite a commotion in Qingya Temple, and he also knew that the Mo family army had taken some action today.

Although he had sent people to investigate the Qingya Temple incident, he had not yet received any definite information when he was sent to Wuyang Marquis's Mansion by his own mother. He did not expect that something like this would happen! ?
