After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Cui Xuan's face suddenly showed shock, and the fear in his eyes was visible to everyone.

Lord Cao laughed cruelly, "Prince Cui really does understand."

He turned to Emperor Jingyou and said, "Your Majesty, my little daughter's disappearance is known to half of the people in Kyoto, if not the entire city. I have investigated a lot over the years to find my daughter. I even know more about how many missing children cases there are in the Jingzhao government office than Lord Qin."

He secretly glanced at Ye Qingyu and smiled broadly, "God will not let down those who work hard. I really found it!"

Emperor Jingyou's eyes lit up and he looked like he was listening.

Lord Cao glanced at Cui Xuan with cold eyes, "Today, the two murderers who killed my daughter are here!" He turned to look at Princess Yongjia who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes showing no concealment.

Princess Yongjia suddenly felt a chill on her back. Without turning around, she saw Emperor Jingyou looking at her.

"Lord Cao, are you saying that Yongjia is also one of the murderers?"

Mr. Cao, "Your Majesty is wise."

Princess Yongjia turned around suddenly, and Lord Cao's cold eyes pierced her heart like a knife.

She kowtowed in panic, "No, uncle, it wasn't me. I didn't know. It has nothing to do with me. I don't even know Lord Cao's daughter! This is slander!"

Lord Cao said coldly, "Your Majesty, among the servants captured from the Princess's residence the other day, there was a nanny who was the wet nurse of Princess Yongjia. I interrogated her and learned that when the Princess was ten years old, during the Lantern Festival, she happened to encounter a lost girl of six or seven. The nanny described the girl's clothing, and it matched my daughter's. My daughter was lost during the Lantern Festival five years ago. Over the years, I have visited the streets near where my daughter went missing and found several eyewitnesses. Their recollections confirmed that the servants' clothing and carriage were from the Princess's residence."

"Princess, have you forgotten that little girl from back then? That was the first little girl you gave to Prince Cui!"

Princess Yongjia opened her eyes wide and froze in fear and panic.

That little girl turned out to be Lord Cao's little daughter! How could this be possible?

"I didn't, don't spit blood at me! I don't know what you're talking about, I know nothing!"

"The evidence is irrefutable. My daughter was only six years old, and the princess was only ten at the time. How could you be so vicious as to send such a vibrant life to be ruined by a beast in human form!"

Lord Cao questioned Princess Yongjia aggressively, forcing her to speak.

Princess Yongjia was already so frightened by her mother's situation that she hadn't eaten or slept well in the past few days. She knelt outside the imperial study for a whole night yesterday and was very weak. Under such harsh pressure from Lord Cao, she quickly broke down emotionally.

Yongjia held his head and shook it fiercely, "No, it wasn't me. I didn't know that was your daughter. I didn't want to hurt her. It was Cui Xuan. He said he knew the girl's parents, so I taught him. I really didn't mean it. I didn't know he had a habit of abusing little girls!"

Cui Xuan sternly shouted, "Princess Yongjia, please stop slandering me to get away with it! What evidence do you have to frame me like this?"

Yongjia looked mad, spouting nonsense, "Evidence? Aren't those twelve corpses evidence? They were all little girls you beat to death! I even gave you two little girls; they were among those twelve corpses!"

Cui Xuan cried out, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! Those bones appeared in my home for some reason, but I have nothing to do with them. Lord Cao said that the bones are his daughter, but how can we prove it? Those bones all look the same. Even if there is a golden lock, it cannot prove that it is Lord Cao's daughter. The locket looks the same, so why would Lord Cao not admit his mistake?"

Lord Cao looked at Cui Xuan coldly and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look." He presented the golden lock wrapped in silk cloth.

Eunuch Dequan presented the golden lock to Emperor Jingyou. Emperor Jingyou looked at the golden lock carefully and frowned slightly.

"Dequan, why does this golden lock look familiar to me?"

The pattern on the gold lock looks like something I've seen somewhere before.

Eunuch Dequan smiled and said, "Your Majesty thinks the eyes are appropriate. This is a pattern that can only be used on items made by the emperor in the palace."

Eunuch Dequan's words shocked everyone, and Emperor Jingyou was also shocked. Is this something from the palace?

Lord Cao said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when my wife gave birth to our little girl, Your Majesty gave me a golden locket as a reward. This is it. My little girl loves it very much and has always worn it and never taken it off."

Emperor Jingyou then remembered that this was the case.

Everything made by the emperor in the palace is unique, and this golden lock is the best evidence.

Lord Cao said with red eyes, "This golden lock is the best evidence against my daughter!" He turned to look at Cui Xuan, "Prince Cui, what excuses do you have?"

Cui Xuan gritted his teeth and glared at Lord Cao fiercely.

The Marquis's wife kowtowed while crying, "Your Majesty, Xuan'er has always been well-behaved and obedient. His character is well-known in Kyoto. He would never do such a thing. Someone must have framed our family!"

Cui Yiyi cried and said, "It's not my brother. My brother is kind-hearted and loves little girls the most. He treats any child gently. How could he do such a thing? This is a frame-up! It's not my brother, it's not him."

Marquis Wuyang burst into tears, "Your Majesty, please be discerning. Someone must have intended to harm our mansion, so they used that deserted yard as a burial ground, and we were completely unaware."

Emperor Jingyou looked at the Cui family members who were shouting that they were innocent with a complicated expression.

He had also heard of Cui Xuan's reputation as a gentle gentleman, but there were many people with beastly hearts. Compared to Cui Xuan, Emperor Jingyou trusted Lord Cao more.

At this time, Lord Jiang and Lord Qin arrived.

"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly interrogated the Marquis of Wuyang, his wife, Cui Xuan, Cui Yiyi's personal servants, and their maids. They have confessed."

"Two servants around Cui Xuan confessed that Cui Xuan beat those girls to death! If Cui Xuan set his sights on a girl, he would plan a meticulous plan to get her. A girl would be beaten to death within six months at most!"

The Marquis's wife cried out in a shrill voice, "No, slaves, how dare they slander their master! Your Majesty, those slaves must have seen something wrong at the Marquis's mansion and gave false testimony. My son is of high character and would never do such a thing!"

Emperor Jingyou said impatiently, "Shut her mouth!"

Lord Jiang continued, "Marquis Wuyang's followers confessed. Marquis Wuyang knew about his son's habit. Cui Yiyi didn't know her brother's true identity, and the Marquis' wife didn't know what Cui Xuan had done."

Emperor Jingyou glared at Cui Xuan angrily, "Okay, okay, Cui Xuan, you are really very good! Now, what else do you have to quibble about?"

Cui Xuan looked dejected. When he figured out why Lord Cao was attending the banquet today, he knew that he was doomed.
