As soon as Zhao Wanqiu finished speaking, more than a dozen guards followed Lin Xian into the hall.

And between the two guards behind Lin Xian, there was a woman being forcibly dragged.

Song Qingxue knew who the woman was at a glance and was extremely surprised.

"she……"

Xiahou Chongyuan knew what she wanted to say, so he nodded and said nothing.

Xiahou Le was not surprised when he saw this, but the Queen Mother expressed some confusion.

"Lin Xian, what are you doing?"

Mo Weixin had a mask on her head, so no one could see her face clearly. Therefore, few people in the hall could recognize who she was.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I am following the orders of the Emperor and the Prince to capture the fugitive!"

"Fugitive?"

"yes."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother glanced at Xiahou Le.

"Emperor, what fugitive? Can't you just take her into custody first? Why must you bring her to the palace?"

"You'll understand this later."

"Oh? You're still keeping me in suspense. I'd better take a closer look."

In short, Dong Yue has already lost face and it cannot be redeemed no matter what he does, so it is better to let them continue to make trouble.

But... looking at the fugitive's figure, he looks somewhat familiar.

The Queen Mother tilted her head slightly and looked straight at the person being escorted by the Imperial Guards, trying to search her memory for a person of similar stature.

Most people in the hall were still doubtful like the Queen Mother, except Xiahou Chun and Zhao Wanqiu, whose expressions changed drastically.

The two looked at each other tacitly, and then their brains worked rapidly.

Xiahou Chongyuan had been keeping an eye on the two of them, so naturally he caught all the little movements between them.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and said, "Lin Xian, take off the curtain."

Lin Xian responded with a "yes" and turned around to take off the veil on Mo Weixin's head.

When everyone saw Mo Weixin's face clearly, they were all shocked.

"Weixin?"

Marquis Anding was the first to speak.

In fact, he had already discovered that it was Mo Weixin when she was brought in, but he hadn't seen her face and had never dared to recognize her.

After all, he has been Mo Weixin's father for more than 20 years, and he is very familiar with his daughter's figure.

But, he was the one who watched his daughter’s coffin being sealed that day and stood guard at the grave to see her buried. How could he appear alive in front of everyone again?

"My lord, you must be very surprised. Why would the princess, who has already been buried, appear here?" Xiahou Chongyuan spoke at the right time.

Marquis Anding couldn't say a word. He was indeed very surprised.

Mo Weixin lay in the mourning hall for seven days without seeing any movement. He couldn't believe that his daughter was still alive.

“Mmmmm…”

Seeing that Marquis Anding didn't say anything, Mo Weixin rushed towards Marquis Anding and struggled hard.

She wanted to speak and ask her beloved father to save her, but her mouth was blocked by the cloth and she couldn't make a sound.

Marquis Anding watched with a frown on his face, but did not take any action.

Only God knows how much he wishes Mo Weixin was dead.

He did so many ridiculous things just to make the most of Mo Weixin's last bit of influence, but she didn't die!

She is not dead, so how will others view him for what he has done?

He would stop at nothing to achieve his goal. In order to make Mo Weixin the regent princess, he even came up with such a bad idea!

If it were just this, it would be fine. At most, it would just cause the Marquis of Anding's Mansion to lose some face.

But the problem is that this matter has already reached the level of deceiving the emperor. He is extremely afraid that the emperor will investigate it strictly and implicate all nine members of his Mo family!

He simply could not afford such consequences.

Marquis Anding withdrew his gaze from Mo Weixin, and his expression immediately turned cold.

"What does the Regent mean? In order to clear this witch's name, he actually went to so much trouble to find an impostor to come to this palace and pretend to be my deceased daughter? Humph! What the princess said was right, this Song Qingxue is the witch!"

“Mmmmm—”

When Mo Weixin heard what her father said, she immediately struggled violently.

Seeing this, Lin Xian quickly took the cloth out of her mouth.

Mo Weixin was free to speak, and immediately shouted: "Daddy! How can you say such a thing!"

She originally thought that with her father's love for her, he would definitely save her even if she was exposed.

But I never expected that Dad would say such a thing!

Upon hearing this, Marquis Anding quickly pointed two fingers at her, his face full of gloom: "Stop shouting, you fake!"

"It seems that Marquis Anding doesn't believe it?"

Xiahou Chongyuan was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly: "Why don't you ask Marquis Anding to go with me to the princess's tomb?"

"Humph! Why should I go with you to disturb Wei Xin?"

Marquis Anding still spoke with full of energy, but he felt extremely weak in his heart.

As a father and daughter for so many years, he could naturally tell at a glance whether his daughter was real or fake. But it was also because of this that he did not dare to agree to go and see her.

If he went there and saw the empty coffin, he would really be unable to explain anything.

"Whether it's a disturbance or not, you won't know until you go and see it."

Xiahou Chongyuan narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Could it be that Marquis Anding knew that the person in the palace was your daughter, so he didn't dare to go and see her?"

"Hmph! Don't try to provoke me! Wei Xin was restless when she was alive, and now that she's gone, don't even think of disturbing her!"

"I must go and see it, how can you stop me?"

"You!" Marquis Anding was furious, pointing at him and cursing, "Xiahou Chongyuan, stop putting on airs in front of me! When I was following the late emperor to conquer the world, you were still nursing at your mother's breast!"

Xiahou Chongyuan sneered, "Marquis Anding, you know that rebellion is a capital crime."

His tone was very light, but to everyone's ears, it sounded like the whisper of a Rakshasa.

The Regent had indeed not attended court for a long time recently due to his leg problems, but everyone knew clearly who was reviewing the memorials they submitted and who held the real power in Dongyue.

Perhaps it was because Xiahou Chongyuan had not appeared in the court for too long. During this period of time, the ministers in the court seemed to have almost forgotten the methods he used to govern the court.

Marquis Anding had even forgotten who had deprived him of his right to attend court. He only thought that Xiahou Chongyuan had always respected Mo Weixin, and was sure that Xiahou Chongyuan would show more respect to Marquis Anding for Mo Weixin's sake.

Before Mo Weixin faked his death, Xiahou Chongyuan did as he wished. Seeing that he was quiet and didn't cause any trouble, he was happy to call him "Lord Marquis" for Mo Weixin's sake.

But now, he wanted to use this to threaten Xiahou Chongyuan.

Anyone who sees this will inevitably shake their head and say what a huge joke.

Marquis Anding was also a little frightened by Xiahou Chongyuan's cold face at this time, but he still didn't dare to let go.

"The dead are the greatest, Regent. No matter how powerful you are, this is no reason for you to disturb the rest of my daughter!"

"ah!"

Marquis Anding had just finished speaking when he heard Mo Weixin scream.

I saw her kneeling on the ground with some difficulty, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Daddy!" Mo Weixin cried out, her eyes fixed on Marquis Anding.

She said, "Save me, Daddy, save me! They want to kill me! Daddy, please save me!!"
