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

"So your young lady's transformation began after she woke up from falling off the rockery?"

Xiao Linchuan keenly noticed the change at this point in time, and stared at Li Yue with his deep eyes, making her feel cold on her back.

"This should be."

"What happened tonight is between you and me. Don't let anyone else know, otherwise..."

Xiao Linchuan's threat made Li Yue's legs go weak and she almost collapsed on the ground. "Your Highness, please rest assured. I will never tell anyone else."

Xiao Linchuan had already walked away, and Li Yue was still a little dazed. Sheng Xia came in with a hangover soup and saw Li Yue leaning against the wall with a pale face and sweat on her forehead. She asked curiously,

"Liyue, what's wrong with you? It's not hot out here, why are you sweating so much?"

Suddenly being called, Li Yue raised her head in shock. After coming to her senses, she smiled at Sheng Xia, "Nothing... nothing. Give me the hangover soup, I'll feed it to Miss."

Shengxia handed the hangover soup to Liyue and looked around but didn't see Xiao Linchuan. "Eh... His Royal Highness the Regent left?"

When Li Yue heard Sheng Xia asking about Xiao Lin Chuan, her face turned even paler. "Yes... yes, he left when he saw the young lady was asleep."

"wrong."

Shengxia approached Liyue and noticed something was wrong with her. "You seem a little abnormal. Did His Royal Highness the Regent tell you something?"

"Oh, that's nothing. Don't ask."

Li Yue walked to the bedside with the hangover soup in her arms, feeling a little annoyed. She felt that she shouldn't be so harsh on Sheng Xia, so she said in a soft voice, "I was just a little scared by the young lady. She has never drunk alcohol, and I was afraid that she couldn't handle it."

Sheng Xia could still accept this reason, she nodded, "Okay, then you serve the young lady, I will go prepare the ingredients for the young lady's meal tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

……

There was also a big disturbance in the palace at this time. Crown Prince Xiao Qi always respected the Queen and whatever the Queen said was the truth.

Therefore, when he caught Xiao Ting secretly inviting Shen Moyu in Wanfulou today, he brought the person to Jingning Palace without saying a word.

"Please, mother, make the decision for me."

Crown Prince Xiao Qi came in with his men, and knelt down as soon as he saw Su Mojie. His voice was filled with infinite grievance, which scared Su Mojie.

"Qi'er, what are you doing? Why are you having your brother detained?"

Su Mojie walked down from the chaise longue, her intuition telling her that something was wrong.

Xiao Ting was forced to kneel down, his face extremely embarrassed. He had not expected this situation to happen, and it was difficult to end it now. "Mother, I, your son..."

Xiao Qi didn't even give Xiao Ting a chance to speak, and directly asked his men to cover his mouth.

"Mother, I want to accuse my seventh brother of a crime. A few days ago, you and grandfather had just agreed to let me marry the Prime Minister's daughter, Shen Moyou, as the Crown Princess. But today, my seventh brother secretly made an appointment with Shen Moyou to go to Wanfulou."

"What did you say!?"

Of course, Su Mojie's ability to become the queen was not entirely due to the Wuyang Marquisate. She herself was a very smart person. After hearing what Crown Prince Xiao Qi said, how could she not figure out the trick?

With the sound of "pa", Su Mojie raised her hand and slapped Xiao Ting. Her long nails scratched his cheek, leaving bloody marks, which looked shocking.

"You rebellious son, I have told you many times to cooperate with your grandfather to make this happen, but you are setting your sights on your brother's future Crown Princess!?"

Xiao Ting felt extremely uncomfortable after being slapped. He looked at his mother and smiled coldly.

"Mother, both I and the Crown Prince are your sons, your biological sons. But why do you always think of him for all the good things since he was a child? I don't understand why you use me as your pawn."

"Rebellious son, how can you be the same as your brother? He is the crown prince!"

After hearing this, Su Mojie raised her shaking hand and wanted to slap him again, but Xiao Ting struggled to stand up and held her hand, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Yes, why is it that although we are both sons of the queen, he is the crown prince, while I am an unappreciated prince? When have you ever really thought about your son?"

He had too much resentment over the years and wanted too much to attract the attention of Emperor Mingzhen and the Empress, but they only had eyes for the Crown Prince.

"The Crown Prince already has everything. Even if he wants to marry a Crown Princess, he can marry someone else. Why does he have to snatch her from me? I don't believe that my mother doesn't know about the rumors about me and Shen Moyou. Why are you helping the Crown Prince to snatch her away?"

Su Mojie had no power to refute these words. She stepped back repeatedly, holding her chest and looking at her son who had never been outstanding in shock.

"Ting'er, you actually miss mother so much?"

"Did I say something wrong? The prince can marry anyone else. Why must it be Shen Moyou?"

"Because she is the daughter of the Prime Minister and the granddaughter of General Mo. Once your brother marries her, all the officials in the court will support your brother, and he will no longer be a hollow prince. Don't you understand the good intentions of our mother?"

Su Mojie's eyes were red. She didn't expect that her son would trip her up at the critical moment.

"I don't understand. It's the Crown Prince himself who is incompetent. He is your legitimate son anyway. What's the difference between me being the Crown Prince and him being the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Ting shouted at the top of his lungs. He thought that he was better than Xiao Qi in both military and literary tactics, while Xiao Qi was a drunkard who had no other strengths except indulging in pleasure.

Xiao Qi just had the advantage of being born first, but now that they have all grown up, doesn't he even have a chance to compete fairly?

"Mother, there is nothing going on between my seventh brother and Shen Moyou. The reason I learned about his meeting with Shen Moyou today was because someone in the Shen family tipped me off. Doesn't this just prove that Shen Moyou has no such intention towards my seventh brother? This is all my seventh brother's wishful thinking!"

Xiao Qi's words were like adding fuel to the fire, and they also made Su Mojie feel a little surprised. However, she didn't have the energy to think about anything else.

"Did you hear clearly? The daughter of the Shen family has no intention towards you at all. Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting, you have disappointed our mother so much. You can even scheme against your own brother. Will you also scheme against me, your mother, in the future? "

"Hahaha……"

Su Mojie's words seemed to stab Xiao Ting in the heart. He laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Mother has never taken me seriously. Even now, I have revealed my true feelings to you, but you still think that I am plotting against you just because of a word from the Crown Prince. How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"

"Ting'er, it's not that the Queen Mother doesn't love you, but your brother is already the Crown Prince. If both of the Queen Mother's sons attract attention, do you think your father and the old ministers in the court who are eyeing you covetously will agree?"

Su Mojie tried to appeal to her emotions, "Mother loves you in her heart, Ting'er, you are also a piece of flesh that fell from mother's body!"
