Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

"It's too risky."

Prince Yong subconsciously objected, “The emperor’s wrath is a disaster beyond your imagination.

"Father doesn't know the new emperor well. It hasn't been easy for father and son to get to where we are today. Father really doesn't dare take any risks with you."

Si Jin continued, "But if I were to ask my son to choose between the new emperor and Yi Qing, I would choose the new emperor.

When the people of northern Xinjiang were suffering, he stood up. Judging from the series of actions he took after ascending the throne, his son felt that he was at least more reliable than Yi Qing."

Prince Yong smiled bitterly, "When the Grand Emperor first ascended the throne, he appeared to be a good emperor. Su Heting is the Grand Emperor's son."

After all, he didn't trust Su Heting.

"So, father, are you going to join forces with Yi Qing to deal with the new emperor?"

Prince Yong shook his head, "Father has no such plans."

"But delaying is not a long-term solution. Yi Qing has sent a message asking my father to try to get the jade cicada from the Queen, and the Emperor has asked my father to remove Yi Qing's spies."

Si Jin's brows were solemn.

Neither of these two things is easy to do. His father is in a dilemma, and he is his father's weak point.

Prince Yong also realized this, and he suddenly said, "Jin'er, get ready. Your father will find a way to get you away."

Si Jin didn't even think about refusing, "My son doesn't want to leave his father."

If he were gone, my father would definitely not survive, or rather, my father had no intention of living.

"The whole world belongs to the king. Where else can my son go? It's possible that Yi Qing and the emperor's men are watching outside the palace."

"Father knows they will keep an eye on you, but there is still a way for Father to send you away."

Prince Yong pondered and said, "I heard that the Great Sheng Dynasty is very tolerant of outsiders. No matter where you go, you should be able to live a stable life with money."

"But my son doesn't want to be alone in a foreign land."

Si Jin insisted, "Father always taught me to be an upright person. In order to paralyze the emperor and others, you and I have been living with masks on every day. I am tired of it.

Now we have finally waited for those people to be dead or imprisoned, why can't we show our true faces to the world, why can't we stand up straight.

Father, it’s never our fault, why do we have to hide our lives?

Yi Qing wants the ghost army, and it is clear that he has evil ambitions. If he wants to seize the Dayou kingdom, we would be betraying our ancestors if we help him.

If we don't help him, he won't let us go either.

Rather than being passive, my son would rather confess everything to the Emperor. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope."

Seeing that Prince Yong was still frowning, he continued to persuade him, “And my son always feels that the emperor’s words today are giving us an opportunity.

Father, if the Yu family could be forgiven, perhaps we can too.

My son met Yu Tianbao yesterday. Although the Yu family’s official positions were taken away, no one was killed.

Yu Tianbao also praised the new emperor to his son, telling him to study hard, take the imperial examinations in the future, and become an official in the court to serve the new emperor.

He had admired the queen for many years, and given his temper, he would have been eager to belittle the new emperor. He also hated reading the most. Now that he had changed like this, it showed that the new emperor was really good.

The new emperor also mentioned the late crown prince. Perhaps he will also show some leniency towards Prince Yong's mansion for the sake of your relationship with the late crown prince."

He squatted down in front of King Yong and pleaded, "Father, can we make a bet?

Even if we lose, it is better than committing treason in the future. My son has never been innocent since he was born, and I really don't want to be dragged into this by Yi Qing again. We have already repaid the kindness he has shown to you and me.

Father, you and he are not of the same kind. Otherwise, you could have done much more and lived a better life over the years. Let's make a bet, okay?"

King Yong was vaguely persuaded by him.

But thinking about how he helped Yi Qing take Queen Zhou away, which indirectly led to the death of the former crown prince, he didn't dare to bet that Su Heting would be tolerant.

"Jin'er, let father think about it again."

Si Jin knew that he couldn't push him too hard, so he just stopped talking and hoped that King Yong would figure it out.

Prince Yong thought about this for several days, and Queen Zhou finally returned to the capital.

She entered the palace through the secret passage and met Su Heting.

Su Heting saw someone he hadn't seen for many years and called out, "Mother."

All the anxiety Zhou Huiyue had felt along the way disappeared. She hugged Su Heting and said, "I'm sorry."

Although this was the first time she met her son, she felt very familiar with him, and her longing for him turned into tears and apologies.

Su Heting remained silent, but looked at the old man. He saw that although he had lost a lot of weight, he looked in good spirits.

I felt a little relieved.

He did not comfort Queen Zhou, nor did he say that there was no need to apologize.

This is what his mother owes his second brother, and he has no right to forgive on his second brother's behalf.

After she cried for a long time, he finally said, "Mother, you have been exhausted from the journey. Go and rest for a while."

Queen Zhou wiped her tears and asked, "Can you please call me mother?"

She didn't want to go back to that identity, nor was she qualified to go back to that identity.

Su Heting nodded, "Mom."

Queen Zhou burst into tears again.

Su Heting doesn't spend as much time with Zhou Huiyue as he does with Qiao Xi and Su Que.

Unfortunately, those two girls were not the type to cry easily, so Su Heting had no experience in persuading people not to cry.

In particular, the former queen was always cold and indifferent in front of him, and Su Heting was not used to being hugged by her like this.

So, I turned my attention to the old man, and whoever has the daughter should coax her.

The old man noticed his gaze, glared at him, and then said to Zhou Huiyue, "Do you want to go see that damn emperor?

And as for Yu Yan, your son is left for you to deal with."

Zhou Huiyue stopped crying and looked at Su Heting. "Do you want me to go see them?"

Su Heting didn't care, "It's up to you."

Zhou Huiyue said, "Then I won't go. You can handle He'er however you want."

Worried that Su Heting might misunderstand, she explained, "You've already avenged my mother. Those people are no longer important to me.

If I see him, it will only remind me how stupid I was in the first half of my life."

Su Heting finally said a consoling sentence, "They are deliberately deceiving, but it is hard to guard against them..."

"No need to comfort me, I know my own problems."

She changed the subject, "This time, it was thanks to Qiao Xi who arrived in time. She saved us and carried my mother down the mountain.

She was raised by her mother and is a very good girl. You all take care of yourself."

Su Heting was pleased to hear her praising Qiao Xi, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Zhou Huiyue was stunned for a moment.

Su Heting looked nothing like the prince, but at that moment, she seemed to see the prince.

Her hand unconsciously touched Su Heting's face, "My child, I'm sorry for you."

This apology was made to the prince.

Perhaps because of the bond between mother and son, Su Heting actually understood what she meant. He asked, "You were cold to the Crown Prince before. Did you hope that the Emperor would pay more attention to him?"

Zhou Huiyue was a little surprised that Su Heting knew what she was thinking. She nodded and said, "Yes."

Then she smiled bitterly and said, "It's stupid, isn't it? No matter how much father loves you, your brother also needs mother's love, but mother missed it for so many years.

And I left him alone in the palace. All these years, I have been looking forward to him appearing in my dreams, but I have never dreamed of him once. I am sorry for you brothers."

The prince must be blaming him.

Suppressing her sadness, she asked, "Mother, can you go to the East Palace to take a look?"

Su Heting took her there personally.

He watched Zhou Huiyue carefully touch every inch of the bedroom, and put his old clothes in the closet into order one by one, as if she was particularly familiar with his bedroom.

Su Heting suddenly had an absurd idea.

Soon she saw the queen pull out another box from under the wardrobe, and the box was filled with clothes that were too small for him.

She said, "I sewed these by myself in the temple. Now I regret not telling him at the time.

If he knew that the clothes he wore since he was a child were all made by his mother, he might feel a little happier. "

She looked at Su Heting and said, "I also sewed one for you on the way here. I will give it to you in the future."

Su Heting asked, "Do you often come here to organize?"

The Queen nodded. "When your brother goes to class, Mother occasionally sneaks over. Mother and the Emperor are not on good terms, and I'm worried that if your brother gets too close to Mother, the Emperor will dislike him."

It is true.

Su Heting felt depressed.

Then the queen seemed to have thought of something and took his hand and walked to the back of the bedroom. "Come with me, I have something for you."
