The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

When the coroner turned the masked man's body over, the tattoo on his neck was clearly visible. Not only did Mu Yan notice it, but everyone present saw it.

The Duke of Qi, in particular, widened his eyes when he saw the tattoo, and his body swayed in reaction.

He is very familiar with this tattoo!

Qi Ning saw his father's reaction and asked in confusion, "Is there anything special about this tattoo?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the old eyes of Duke Qi, as if he recalled something. "This tattoo is a unique symbol of the Dongfan Kingdom's Royal Guards."

When the Duke of Qi was young, Northern Qi and Eastern Fan were at war with each other, and he even led his cavalry into the territory of Eastern Fan. Therefore, this tattoo mark has been deeply imprinted in his mind and it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the origin of the tattoo. This case was becoming more and more confusing, and now it even involved the Dongfan Kingdom.

Could it be that all this was a secret conspiracy by the Dongfan Kingdom?

Once the young master Qi dies and the crime is pinned on Mu Zhao, the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion will inevitably be completely separated.

Although the Duke of Qi's Mansion is ranked before the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion among dukes, the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion has won many battles in recent years. Not only has the Loyal and Brave Marquis made outstanding military achievements, but even her offspring have begun to show their reputation. It has long been the leader among all the marquisates.

On the other hand, there is indeed no one among the younger generation of the Duke of Qi's Mansion who can show off his talents, and its influence in recent years has been far less than before.

Therefore, once the two are separated, the entire Northern Qi will be affected.

If foreign enemies invade by then, and Northern Qi is in internal disunity, wouldn’t that give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage?

Mu Yan was not surprised to know the origin of the tattoo, because in her previous life she had fought against the Royal Guards of Dongfan Kingdom, so she naturally knew the origin of the tattoo, but Mo Xingchen's surprised expression surprised her.

Since he has been in contact with the Dongfan Kingdom, he must know the origin of the tattoo. The tattoo is not a very confidential matter, so such a reaction is inevitably superfluous.

He is a natural actor and is good at disguise.

Mu Wan was also excited when she heard the origin of the tattoo and continued, "Yes, the mastermind of Queen Mu must be related to the Eastern Frontier Kingdom. It has nothing to do with me. It must be that the thief saw Young Master Qi and Mu Zhao fighting on the street, and then released the golden fox snake in the chaos. No matter if it bites Young Master Qi or Mu Zhao to death, it will cause unrest in the court. The incense powder and the pearl necklace are just a coincidence."

Mu Wan was very confident and tried every possible means to distance herself from the matter.

But Mu Yan didn't want her to get away with it so easily. "Is there really such a coincidence in the world? From the time you gave Princess Qi Ning perfume powder and pearl necklace, and took Mu Zhao out to the streets for the first time, to the time you ran into Young Master Qi and his sister, and then let them fight, if any one of these events didn't go well together, Young Master Qi wouldn't have died."

Yes, although there are bound to be coincidences in the world, if so many coincidences happen at the same time, it would make people suspicious.

Everyone turned their suspicious eyes to Mu Wan again.

Mu Wan was anxious, "Mu Yan, what do you mean? I've already said that everything is just a coincidence, why are you still so aggressive?"

"You still say it has nothing to do with you, but it was you who told me that Zhencaifang would have a batch of very good materials this morning, so I went out. No wonder you specifically asked me to call my brother along, it turns out you had another purpose."

Qi Ning looked at her brother's dead body, her eyes filled with tears. It was all her fault that she trusted Mu Wan and caused her brother to die tragically.

She kept recalling the moments when she got along with her brother. Her brother was usually lazy and unmotivated, and always causing trouble, but he would always respond to her requests. As long as she was unhappy, her brother would find ways to make her happy.

Every time I come back from going out, I will bring myself a gift, sometimes it is a candied haws, sometimes it is Jingweifang cakes, and sometimes it is a hot meat bun.

However, her brother who always responded to her requests was now lying there quietly and motionless, which made her heart break.

Then she pulled out the pearl hairpin on her head, rushed to Mu Wan at lightning speed, raised her hand and stabbed Mu Wan in the heart.

Mu Wan screamed at this and quickly dodged, but it was too late.

With a hiss, the sound of flesh being cut was heard, and Mu Wan instantly felt a heart-wrenching pain.

"what--"

A terrifying wail sounded from the Dali Temple, and even the crows in the sky were frightened and flew away.

She opened her bloody hands, "My, my face, my face!"

It turned out that the hairpin did not pierce her chest, but scratched her face.

Because Qi Ning had tried to kill her, the wound on her face was very deep and blood was dripping from her face to the ground like a fountain.

Just as she was about to attack again, she was stopped by the Duke of Qi.

"That's enough, Ning'er. Since the emperor has sent His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei to handle this case, he will definitely give justice to our Duke of Qi's Mansion. Let's take your eldest brother home first."

These words were said to both Qi Ning and Mo Xingchen. The implication was that if you cannot give us an explanation, then in the future you will never get any help from the Duke of Qi's Mansion in the court.

Qi Ning then lowered her hands and loosened the hairpin in her hand. She held back her tears, took a deep breath to calm herself, and followed her father out.

But she will definitely not let Mu Wan go.

Mu Wan used her to set up a trap and kill her brother, and she would definitely make Mu Wan pay the price.

Mo Xingchen didn't dare to stop Duke Qi from taking Qi Qingyang's body away when he saw him. After all, Qi Qingyang's body was almost mutilated in the Dali Temple. Fortunately, the coroner had just performed an autopsy, so these were enough evidence.

"My face, my face is ruined, my face..."

At this moment, Mu Wan's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and she kept repeating these words.

Mo Xingchen looked at Mu Wan, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and frowned: "Come here, take the prisoner to the cell first, and then find a doctor to check her out."

He didn't feel sorry for Mu Wan's face, but he felt sorry that the chess piece he had been planning for so long was ruined.

There was a hint of teasing in Mu Wan's eyes. In her previous life, her appearance was ruined and she was finally abandoned by him. Now that Mu Wan's face was ruined, she wanted to see what he would do.

However, given Mo Xingchen's cold personality, I'm afraid her fate will not be better than mine.

"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, I wonder if your brother can be released?"

Since Qi Qingyang died of poisoning, it had nothing to do with Mu Zhao, and there was no reason to continue detaining him.

Mo Xingchen waved his hand and ordered his men to bring Mu Zhao over.

Mu Zhao hadn't brought it yet, but Ling Yu rushed back in advance and took out something from his arms and put it in Mu Yan's hand.
