The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

All the testimonies and evidence were presented to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Then, Lu Xiaojun and Huo Xuan reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince everything that had happened in the past few days.

Everyone knows that Lu Xiaojun and Huo Xuan are both study companions to the Crown Prince, but they were carefully selected by the Queen Mother to be the Crown Prince's right-hand men.

But people don't know that although Lu Xiaojun and Huo Xuan grew up together with the Crown Prince, their personalities are very different: Lu Xiaojun is calm, while Huo Xuan is lively.

After reporting the matter of the Five Stone Powder, Huo Xuan added angrily: "What on earth is this Fifth Prince thinking? How dare he do something that would destroy the lifeblood of the Tianyuan Dynasty!"

Of course, only in front of His Highness, his father, and his elder brother did Huo Xuan dare to belittle and reprimand them with such righteous words.

In contrast, Lu Xiaojun's expression was natural, calm and measured.

However, this calmness is just an appearance.

Lu Xiaojun's heart is now filled with a burning fire of rage, and he is just waiting for the Crown Prince's order to go and hunt down those behind the scenes one by one.

These people eat the taxes provided by the imperial court, but they are doing things that are against the will of heaven and earth. It is really despicable!

In the huge study, the only person who remained calm was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After taking a look at the exasperated Huo Xuan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince closed the testimony and asked helplessly, "Is Duan Quan ready?"

As for the furious Huo Xuan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not so kind as to comfort or persuade him now.

"Your Highness, I have already discussed it with Lord Duan. Tomorrow morning, Lord Duan will reveal the matter of the Five Stones Powder in public."

Mr. Duan really cared about the people of the world and was an honest official. That's why he stepped out at such a critical moment: "What's wrong?", "What are you doing?".

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded slightly, Wu Shi San was a poison wrapped in candy paper.

In order to make this matter public, a fuse is needed.

This person cannot be his retainer, otherwise, Lao Wu will definitely link the matter to the party and government, and take the opportunity to pass over the matter and make a big deal out of a small matter.

Duan Quan was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, a second-rank official. He was an upright person and had never taken sides since he entered the officialdom, always being loyal to the emperor.

Therefore, everyone in the court would definitely believe what Duan Quan said.

Fortunately, Lord Duan is an upright and honest official. This time, he learned that the Five Stone Powder secretly sold by the Fifth Prince was a banned drug that slowly depleted the human body. He has vowed to make this matter public and let the emperor know!

This is also the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose Duan Quan from among all the people in the court as the first person to lift the curtain.

"Have Lord Duan's family members made all the arrangements?" Duan Quan is devoted to the Tianyuan Dynasty and is willing to give up his current power and status. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ensure that such a capable man has no worries at home.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. All the people related to Lord Duan have been transferred out and placed in a safe place. Now the only master in the Duan Mansion is Lord Duan." Huo Xuan was in charge of the transfer of Lord Duan's family members, so it was Huo Xuan who reported to Your Highness.

Duan Quan accepted this matter without asking for any reward. His Highness made such arrangements only to return a favor.

“Nothing is set in stone yet, and everything could change before tomorrow.

Xiaojun, you go and guard Lord Duan and make sure he is safe.

Huo Xuan, take your people and take good care of the evidence and witnesses.

Peilin, pass the message to the Queen, and keep an eye on every move in the palace."

Although the Empress is not the Emperor's favorite, she has been in the palace for many years and gets news of any disturbance in the palace, sometimes even earlier than the Crown Prince.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged the tasks, Peilin, who was hiding in the dark, appeared.

The three of them knelt down and said in unison: "Yes."

Lu Xiaojun and Peilin left the room immediately. Huo Xuan waited for a while. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, he spoke: "Your Highness, I received a letter from my eldest brother today. He said that my father and mother had adopted a daughter a few days ago. My adopted sister, Song Yangqi, the third daughter of the Duke of Song's Mansion, said that she has a very close relationship with Your Highness."

As he asked further questions, Huo Xuan's voice gradually slowed down.

When he saw Huo Yun's letter, Huo Xuan read it carefully several times before he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his eyes.

However, I know every word in this letter, but why does the meaning when put together is so strange?

What does “Dad and Mom adopted a daughter a few days ago” mean? After so many years, when did Dad and Mom develop this habit?

What's more, this person is the third daughter of Duke Song's Mansion.

Today, Huo Xuan made a special effort to inquire about it. His adopted sister had been "recuperating" on the farm for more than half a year, so why did she go to Xihu Xiaosa again?

The most incomprehensible thing is that "he has a very close relationship with His Royal Highness." After staying with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so many years, Huo Xuan believed that he knew this cousin well. Since he was a child, he did not like the smell of rouge and powder on women.

Over the years, there have been many ladies from noble families who have shown their affection to him, but His Highness has never treated them differently.

But when did he get to know this third sister whom he had never met before, and why were they so "close" to each other?

Hearing Huo Xuan's words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said jokingly: "Uncle and aunt have taken Xiao Qi in for quite some time. How come you just heard the news now, and it was from your eldest brother."

Seeing such a familiar look on His Highness's face, Huo Xuan's expression paused. He wanted to take back all his exaggerations about His Highness. His Highness was not extremely smart, but rather insidious and cunning.

I was clearly asking about my third sister, but His Highness insisted on bringing up the matter of letters at home.

"Your Highness, let's not talk about the time when you got the news. Xiaoqi is my biological sister from now on. You can't bully her!" Huo Xuan was also very outgoing. Even before he met this person, he called her "biological sister".

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Huo Xuan's wonderful expression and said, "If you don't go and look at the evidence now, if something goes wrong tomorrow, I can't guarantee what will happen."

Did I give Huo Xuan too much face today? This person actually dared to point fingers in front of me.

Your Highness’s expression is so familiar!

Huo Xuan couldn't help but cover his butt, then he ran out of the house, and heard from afar: "I'm leaving now."

When I was a kid, and I didn't like studying and skipped classes to play, His Highness had this expression on his face, harmless and even kind.

But the next second, the thorny vines would hit your body, causing you excruciating pain.

Every minute and every second of being beaten reminded Huo Xuan that His Highness' smile was a disguise, a mask.

Huo Xuan was really curious about how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been able to be so gentle and graceful even when beating people for so many years.
