The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Si Yan's words caused a huge uproar.

Everyone followed Si Yan's gaze, but did not see any Wei Shu.

Duke Yang's heart trembled, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at Si Yan: "Lord Si Yan, where is the Book of Wei?"

Si Yan slowly stepped forward and stood in front of Duke Yang. "Isn't that the woman in yellow behind the Duke?"

Duke Yang sneered, "Master Si Yan, you're so young, are you blind? This is clearly a woman, how can it be a Wei Shu?"

Duke Yang really didn't expect that even though Wei Shu was dressed like this, Si Yan still recognized him.

Si Yan's expression was as cold as ice: "Duke Yang, harboring a wanted criminal of the imperial court is a crime of genocide."

The woman behind Duke Yang stood still, looking as indifferent as if she had no idea Si Yan was talking about her.

Duke Yang said angrily, "Misleading Your Majesty, disrupting the Daxuan court, and bringing chaos to the government is a crime worthy of genocide."

Si Yan was too lazy to argue with Duke Yang and directly ordered: "Capture this woman in yellow."

Ling Mohan immediately led his men forward. He was careless after all and searched for people everywhere. He didn't expect that the person they were looking for was standing next to Duke Yang.

"Who dares?" Duke Yang waved the Dragon Sword in his hand, looking as if he was ready to fight to the death.

He stared at Si Yan coldly: "This is really too much. I let you search this Duke's Mansion, and you even want to take away the maid who serves me."

Duke Yang was full of vigor, but cold sweat could not stop coming out of his forehead.

He said that Si Yan must not catch Wei Shu no matter what, otherwise, the Duke's Mansion would be harbouring a criminal.

"Catch!" Si Yan gave an order, and Ling Mohan rushed forward with his guards.

The guards from the Duke's Mansion all rushed forward, protecting the woman in yellow behind Duke Yang as if they were protecting their own eyes.

Si Yan raised his fist and punched towards Duke Yang.

Duke Yang raised the Shenlong Sword and slashed at Si Yan. Si Yan grabbed Duke Yang's wrist and kicked him, knocking him to the ground.

"Protect the Duke!" The guards of Duke Yang's mansion were furious and rushed towards Si Yan together.

Si Yan's moves were precise and swift, and he soon knocked down everyone around him. Ling Mohan was fighting with the woman in yellow.

Yan Longyi and Boya rushed forward to help, but the woman in yellow was no match for her and was captured in a moment.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Duke Yang stumbled forward and asked, "Why are you arresting my maid?"

Si Yan said softly: "Go get a basin of water and wash this girl's face."

Yi Jiangfeng, a subordinate of Ling Mohan, quickly brought two brothers, fetched a basin of water from the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, and also brought a towel.

Several guards held the yellow-dressed woman's head, rubbed and wiped it, and soon washed the thick powder on her face clean.

In an instant, a man's face appeared.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. Could this woman in yellow really be the wanted criminal Wei Shu?

But, does Wei Shu look like this?

Si Yan looked up and saw that the man opposite him had two pink, crooked scars on his face, and a small scar on his eyebrow, which just concealed his original appearance.

"Sir Si Yan, I'm afraid you recognized the wrong person?" Wei Shu pinched his throat and spoke to Si Yan.

Si Yan's expression was as cold as ice: "Mr. Wei may have ruined his entire face, but I can still recognize his eyes."

Duke Yang knew that the matter was exposed and irreversible, and the future depended on Wei Shu himself.

Duke Yang pushed Wei Shu away and said, "How come you are a man? And an ugly one at that? You are not my maid at all. What did you do to my maid?"

Duke Yang turned around and looked at Si Yan, "Lord Si Yan, this is a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding. I don't even know this ugly guy. He must have killed my maid and taken her place."

After saying that, Duke Yang did not forget to kick Wei Shu hard.

Wei Shu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, after hiding here and there, he finally fell into Si Yan's hands.

Si Yan looked indifferent: "Duke Yang is harboring a criminal, which is a heinous crime. Keep everyone in Duke Yang's mansion under guard and await your Majesty's disposal."

After Si Yan finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

Ling Mohan's men grabbed Wei Shu, tied him up, and took him away.

"Master Si Yan, this is a misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding..."

Duke Yang was still shouting behind him, but Si Yan's figure had already disappeared at the door.

After leaving Duke Yang's mansion, Si Yan said to Ling Mohan, "Send someone to the Ministry of Personnel to take Yang Youjian into custody and wait for His Majesty's decision."

"Yes." Ling Mohan nodded and immediately ordered his brothers to do it.

An hour later, the group returned to Situ Mansion.

It was already dark, but the Situ Mansion was brightly lit.

The emperor had dinner at Situ's Mansion and rested for a while, while the rest of the people waited there.

In the hall of the Si family, Xinya's hair was in a mess. When she saw Wei Shu wearing women's clothes, she felt like the sky was falling.

What happened to his face?

Xinya quickly realized that Wei Shu was trying to hide his identity by destroying his own appearance.

Xinya suddenly felt heartbroken and tears fell involuntarily.

The emperor glanced around, his eyes finally landing on the androgynous person tied up in the middle of the hall.

"Si Yan, who is this?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is the Book of Wei."

"Ah?" The emperor's face showed surprise, and he looked up and down at Wei Shu.

He couldn't quite understand how this androgynous-looking man could have captivated Concubine Xin so completely.

"Your Majesty, Wei Shu has disfigured himself and is hiding in Duke Yang's mansion disguised as a woman. It is a fact that Duke Yang is harboring a high-ranking criminal."

No matter how Duke Yang argued, the Book of Wei was found in Duke Yang's mansion, so Duke Yang was guilty of harboring the criminal.

"Well, this Duke Yang is indeed unbelievable." The emperor stared coldly at Wei Shu. "Let me see, does he have a dark red birthmark on his thigh?"

Han Hu came forward with several imperial guards and directly pulled off Wei Shu's skirt, revealing the pants she was wearing underneath.

Han Hu pulled out a dagger and cut the trousers on Wei Shu's left leg around his thigh. With a "rustle", a piece of trouser leg was pulled off.

Everyone looked up and saw a dark red birthmark on Wei Shu's left leg.

On his left thigh, there was a large, hideous and twisted scar, which looked shocking.

"What is this?" the emperor asked with wide eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is the scar left by me being scalded by the oil pan due to carelessness." Wei Shu said with his head lowered.

Everyone fell silent. This man was truly cruel. In order to destroy the evidence, he did not hesitate to make himself look like this.

Si Yan stepped forward and spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, there is no such coincidence in this world. Wei Shu destroyed his own appearance to prevent his identity from being exposed."

"What is Wei Shu? Who is Wei Shu?"

Wei Shu refused to admit it. No one could recognize him in his current appearance.

Even if he stood next to Prince Xin, no one would think they looked alike.

At this moment, Nanny Su suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, there is a mark on Wei Shu's back. You can tell whether he is Wei Shu by just looking at his back."
