Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

"Your Majesty, the Princess Protector of the Nation..." Duke Dingguo did not expect that the Princess Protector of the Nation would be so disrespectful to him in the court, and he was shocked again.

He thought about the time when the Princess Protector of the Nation went to the Duke of Ping’s mansion last winter and they had met before, but he had never been so rude. Now…

This is still in the court!

"Don't mention the Princess Protector of the Nation. I also think you are very good at talking. Look at how many civil and military officials in the court have been infected by your sorrow over the loss of your beloved son and have started to shed tears."

"But, Si Mofeng, who was murdered that year, is standing right here. You cleared all your guilt in front of him and emphasized that he got lost on his own?"

Xiao Beichen looked at Si Bochuan, whose expression was unpredictable, with sarcasm, and his tone gradually became majestic.

"I think people from aristocratic families like you have too little contact with Taoism on a daily basis!" Xiao Beichen's voice suddenly became stern, "My master has profound Taoism and is good at physiognomy!"

"The basis of physiognomy is to observe the face and know the cause and effect! When my master saved Si Mofeng, he knew what he had experienced from his face, and the two-year-old child was able to speak clearly at that time!"

"Who harmed his mother? Who forcibly took him away? And who threw him to the kidnapper and asked him to be sold as soon as possible, as far away from the capital as possible?"

"Who was chasing him without even bothering to cover his face with a scarf? He just treated him like a dead man and said a lot of things. He remembers them all!"

"After I know what happened to Senior Brother Nine, I will naturally look at your face. Even your eloquence cannot deceive me!"

"Since the emperor is so sure about everything, why did he only punish me today?" Si Bochuan blurted out. He broke out in a sweat as soon as he said this, and a trace of fear and dread welled up in his eyes.

He actually questioned the emperor to his face!

Xiao Beichen sneered: "Were you deaf just now? I said that the lives of everyone in your Dingguo Mansion were saved by my Ninth Senior Brother! Today, of course, we must end this cause and effect."

In other words, Yun Xuanmo had repaid enough for his kindness.

Si Bochuan knew that his defense was useless, as the emperor was already certain that everything was his fault and that he was the one who had caused the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to commit a crime. Any further defense on his part would only bring shame upon himself.

Si Bochuan looked ashen, and he kowtowed deeply, saying in a sad voice, "I will never hurt my own flesh and blood. I lost my beloved son in those days."

"But there were servants in the mansion who caused chaos, and I failed to prevent it, which led to a serious mistake. I investigated afterwards, found those servants, tortured them severely, and asked about Feng'er's whereabouts."

"Knowing that he was taken out of the capital by kidnappers, we have sent many people to search for him outside for so many years, and we dare not slack off."

"I know that after ten years of failure, I should wake up from the dream. I just don't want to accept that the child is in danger, and I haven't withdrawn the outside forces yet."

"I favored my concubines in the past, but I never treated my first wife badly. It was because she was sick and weak, and after giving birth to a child, I was afraid that she would not be able to have children again, so my mother didn't like her."

"My first wife passed away, my eldest son is missing, and I am suffering every day. I have no intention of harming anyone..."

A "click" sound broke the sad mood again.

Si Bochuan couldn't bear it any longer and glared at Yuntang.

However, this time it wasn't just Yun Tang who was cracking melon seeds, Yun Xuanmo was also cracking them. The sound just now was made by Yun Xuanmo.

And Yuntang was actually putting melon seeds in the hands of Prince Cheng, Prince Chenghe, and a few old princes...

Si Bochuan was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He felt a fishy and sweet feeling rising rapidly in his throat. He tried his best to suppress it. He couldn't spit out blood! He couldn't spit out blood! He couldn't spit out blood!

If he vomited blood on the spot, the emperor and the onlookers in the court would not sympathize with him because he was vomiting blood because of his unfilial son, but would only think of what the Princess Protector of the Country had just said.

Then people will just laugh at him and laugh at him for going to the teahouse to tell stories.

Si Bochuan suddenly turned his head to look at the other side, and said angrily: "Marquis Yong'an! You just recognized your legitimate daughter not long ago. Could she have been a servant in the mansion back then..."

"My daughter was taken away by mistake because of an accident on the way back to the capital from the northern border town!" Marquis Yong'an didn't expect that the Si family's affairs had not been sorted out yet, and he was actually implicated.

He immediately spoke briefly and said that anything else should not be discussed in detail here, as this was not his case.

"That's true. The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion doesn't favor concubines over wives, and the Yong'an Marquis has no concubines." Another marquis nearby muttered, and many people followed suit, but they didn't dare to expand the topic.

The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion does not favor concubines over wives, but the relationship between mother and daughter is bad.

However, looking at how the son of the Si family treated his father, we can probably guess why the mother and daughter were not on good terms in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.

They all come back to seek justice!

This means that there must be something behind the incident in which the wrong child was taken away from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion!

However, everyone's whispering did not affect Xiao Beichen's mood. Xiao Tang'er's behavior of handing out melon seeds to people made Xiao Beichen unhappy.

He doesn't even have any melon seeds to eat!

Xiao Beichen cleared his throat, and the discussions instantly quieted down, even the sound of cracking melon seeds stopped.

Of course, although those princes accepted Yuntang’s melon seeds, no one really dared to eat them here.

Since the founding of the dynasty, there are probably no more than two people who dare to eat melon seeds in the court.

Yuntang!

Sima Feng!

Oh, this Si Mofeng just called himself "Xuan Mo". Since he is the emperor's fellow disciple, I think his surname is Yun.

The trend of worshipping Taoism has been very popular recently, and with the Luotian Grand Ceremony approaching, almost everyone in the capital has figured out the Taoist identity behind the emperor, as well as the affairs of the little Taoist master.

Naturally, you will know the relationship with Qingfeng Temple.

It is not difficult to infer that Xuanmo is a Taoist name, and the full name should be Yun Xuanmo.

After all, when Yun Tang first arrived in the capital, he was called: Yun Xuan Tang.

There is also a Yun Xuanyuan in front of the emperor.

There are two more people in Tianji Pavilion.

Therefore, even if they were high-ranking officials above the third rank, or noble princes... no one dared to bring up the topic of whether eating melon seeds in the court was impolite or a disrespect for imperial power at this time.

But they would never dare to imitate this behavior!

Seeing that the scene had calmed down, Xiao Beichen spoke slowly, "Regarding the matter at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion today, I don't want to hear anyone's explanation, but to make the truth known to the public."

"Since Si Bochuan has been telling how he lost his beloved son and how he never gave up on finding him, but he refuses to admit that he favored his concubine over his wife and allowed his concubine to bully his master, then..."

"You will pay the price for your choice." Xiao Beichen said with a light smile.

Seeing Si Bochuan tremble all over, he immediately fell to the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please understand!" But he remained unmoved.

Xiao Beichen said loudly: "The cabinet drafts an edict!"

"Qingyao, the former Dingguo company, had made great military achievements and was well-known throughout the country. He was a man of great literary and military talents and made contributions to the country. Now, his eldest grandson Simofeng has inherited his ancestor's legacy. He has become the leader of the Qinglong Guard at a young age, wielding the Emperor's sword to slay demons and pacify the four directions, making contributions to the country. He is conferred the title: Duke Dingguo!"

Directly skip the current Duke of Dingguo, Bochuan, and continue the style of the previous Duke of Dingguo to become the new Duke of Dingguo.

Rather than the Prince of Dingguo!
