Old He rushed out to do the work. There were two of them in the palace and a group of them outside the palace. The workload was huge.

The Yonghe Palace was eerily quiet, and Mo Xi had a bad feeling. Just then, a group of guards rushed into the Yonghe Palace and walked up to Mo Xi. "Empress Xi, His Majesty wants to see you."

Mo Xi was alert, "What are you doing?"

"I advise you not to resist."

Mo Xi looked at the knives on their waists, realized the seriousness of the matter, and followed them obediently.

In Yanqing Palace, when the guards came to invite Concubine Ping, she only took a look, then stood up resignedly and followed them, as if she knew something.

At the Mo Mansion, Mr. He personally led the team, making the arrest operation more convincing.

When the servant hurried to Mo Xun's yard, Mo Xun and Mo Yong were practicing swords. Seeing someone coming, Mo Yong quickly turned his back to avoid him seeing his face.

Mo Xun: "What's wrong?"

"Fourth Young Master, Manager He has brought a team to arrest us, saying that the Emperor has summoned all members of the Mo family to the palace." The servant said, panting.

Mo Xun: "Are you from the Mo family or the Mo Mansion?"

"Mo family's immediate family, everyone, including the prince."

When Mo Xun heard this, he realized that something was wrong, so he dropped his sword and ran out, and the servant followed him.

Mo Yong then turned around, feeling uneasy. The palace coming to pressure people was definitely not a good thing for the Mo family, but he couldn't show up at this time, so he could only hide and worry.

Along the way, the faces of the Mo family members were not very good, and they took two carriages to drive into the palace.

Inside the palace, everyone from Mr. Mo to Mo Tang knelt down in a sea of ​​people. The Bai family father and son stood by, gloating over the misfortune.

The Second Lady and Concubine Ping had similar expressions, and they thought it was best to come today.

Third Master: "Aunt, Prince Mo, you guys stand up, the rest of you kneel down."

Mr. Mo: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime the Mo family has committed. If the Mo family doesn't want to rise, then I won't rise either."

Mr. Mo rarely calls himself the king because he always thinks he is just a minister of the Tianle Dynasty. But if he is just an ordinary minister today, he will not be able to protect everyone in the Mo family.

The Second Lady: "Yes, I won't get up either."

The Third Master sighed softly, "You... that's all. If you want to kneel, then kneel. Bai Xiang, you tell the story."

Prime Minister Bai stepped forward and said, "Yes."

He bowed to the Third Master, and then stood facing the Mo family.

Mr. Mo glanced at him and didn't want to look at him.

Prime Minister Bai: "May I ask Princess Yonghe, who is your biological daughter?"

Li Ru knelt straight, "Mo Sheng, the second young lady of the Mo family."

Prime Minister Bai emphasized the word "biological" very much, and Mo Sheng and Mo Xi couldn't help but look up at Li Ru.

Prime Minister Bai: "What about Mo Xi?"

Li Ru finally knew who had the book that was stolen from the midwife.

The Second Master was now sweating profusely, and Mo Xi was also very puzzled.

Li Ru was frank and said, "No."

"Madam!" The second master was anxious. The other members of the Mo family were stunned in shock. Mo Xi was now confused.

Mr. Mo pulled Li Ru and said, "Ruru, what are you talking about? Don't scare Daddy!"

“Hahaha!” A burst of laughter came from the front of the crowd. Prime Minister Bai was overjoyed. “Your Majesty, I am right! Princess Yonghe admitted it herself!”

The Third Master didn't want to pay attention to him...

About eighteen or nineteen years ago, when Li Ru was about to give birth, the second master had not returned home for a long time. Fortunately, the delivery went smoothly and it was a girl. Li Ru was very happy, and the midwife held her daughter by the bed and coaxed her.

Li Ru was a little tired, so she fell asleep. But when she woke up, she found the midwife collapsed beside the bed, the child was gone, and there was only a piece of paper next to the midwife with four words written on it.

Li Ru searched the room in vain. Just as she was about to walk out the door, she saw that the maids who were waiting outside the door had disappeared, and the Second Master was walking towards her with something in his arms.

Li Ru endured the pain and rushed forward, falling into the second master's arms, "Child..."

In the second master's arms, there was a newborn baby.

But Li Ru soon realized something was wrong. She had seen her daughter's appearance and said, "This is not my child! Our daughter is missing!"

Li Ru was almost going crazy, and the Second Master was worried that someone might hear her, so he knocked her out.

When Li Ru woke up again, her room had returned to normal, with only the second master and the baby by her bed.

Second Master: "Madam..."

"Snapped!"

Li Ru slapped the second master in the face, "Do you know that our daughter is missing? You knocked me out and missed the best opportunity! Where is the midwife? I ask you, was it you who planned for the child to be lost?"

The second master covered his face in frustration, "I asked the midwife, she said that a green light flashed from somewhere, and her daughter disappeared from her hands in an instant, and she fainted."

Li Ru now completely didn't believe him and searched the bed for the note.

The second master didn't understand what she was doing.

"Where's the note?!"

Second Master: "What note? Madam, I will help you find it."

"Go away!" Li Ru pushed him away, "Where's the note? Did you take it?"

Unable to find the note, Li Ru looked at the second master questioningly.

The second master was also very anxious, "I really didn't see it, Madam, you just gave birth, don't get too excited, it's not good for your health."

Li Ru calmed herself down, thinking of the baby she saw before she fainted, and looked at the cradle. "What's wrong with her?"

The second master looked at the baby, then at Li Ru, "Madam, I wanted to confess to you just now, she is... my daughter..."

The second master was filled with regret. He had wanted to take the child in and announce to the public after his wife gave birth that they were twins. However, he was not there to watch over her and his daughter disappeared.

Li Ru: "Your child?"

She has now fully reacted. As a princess, she has seen all kinds of disgusting things. All men are the same.

Li Ru: "Now that our child is missing, not only do you not care about it, you also bring your illegitimate child back. What does that mean? Are you substituting a cat for a prince? Did you plan from the beginning to have her take my daughter's place?!"

Li Ru asked the question calmly at first, but she became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and she wanted to fight the second master to the death.

The second master quickly hid behind him, "Madam, it really wasn't me. You can ask the midwife later. She really disappeared suddenly! Who could have thought of this?"

"Madam, the emperor's decree will arrive tomorrow. Now that our daughter is missing, why not let this child take over first?"

"Madam, I promised to give her mother a name, but her mother left after giving birth to her. Madam, you can just pity her, okay?"

Li Ru: "She is pitiful? My missing daughter is not pitiful?! Deceiving the emperor is a capital crime!"

Second Master: "I know... but this is the last resort. Let her take over first, and then switch back after my daughter comes back..."

Li Ru was almost laughing because of him, but she really didn't want to argue with him after giving birth. She wanted to recover quickly to confirm whether what the second master said was true.

Li Ru: "It's up to you. I'm a princess and I can't die. If you are found out, your entire Mo family will be buried with you." "Take the child away and call her Mo Xi. I won't take care of her. You can raise her yourself. Get out! Call all my maids back!"
