Big kudos on the artist here. The face of the queen after MC answer about his mother… you can clearly see that she feel bad for him. Her face is plastered with “no boy should feel that way (or not feel anything at all) about their mother”...
I wonder if she will actually be able to act on this sentiment. That would be cute. Q_Q
(Seriously, my heart squirmed seeing her face in that panel. Q_Q )
Ah interesting, so both a reincarnators from the future, and both are acting on the faulty historical information from said future.
It seems like they hinted it was something like this, then killed that theory, and now come back and said 'nah lol, it was that all along'.
I wonder if the reincarnation/historical shenanigans has anything to do with the king's treatment? Like is he ALSO a reincarnation trying to stop his wicked son from inheriting the throne?
It was no coincidence, that the 1st Empress asked the MC about his mother. She was curious about the relationship (besides they bloodline) between the MC and his mother, because there is (most probably) also a conflict between the mothers of the princes.
The MC's answer meant for she, that the MC and his mother ain't allies, thus the MC is not an enemy of her, the 1st Empress.

From the answer she knows, that the MC ain't an enemy of her.
She is the mother of the 1st and 3rd princes. This whole event will most probably solidify his eldest son's claim to the throne. This also means, that she don't have to hold back while disciplining the 3rd prince.
The fact that she is sad for the MC is also of great importance: It indicates, that she stops looking down on him.
Yes, that was established in chapter 5, also he's not a brother but from a different family, presumably that was his father he just killed at the end of this chapter.
