The Emperor was embarrassed and quickly shook his head, "Of course not, this has nothing to do with Xijiu. It seems like Rong Yi's death was indeed the work of an assassin … "
In the Feixing Kingdom, the price of an assassin was extremely high, so there were not many people who could afford to hire an assassin, especially one who could kill Rong Yi so easily. Perhaps only the royal family could do it.
The few princes of the royal family had secret guards who were highly skilled in martial arts. If they wanted to kill someone, they would probably send their secret guards instead of hiring an assassin …
After thinking about it, the only person who had a grudge against Rong Yi and could afford to hire an assassin was Rong Yan …
This bastard!
The Emperor looked at Rong Yan coldly, "Bastard, look at what you've done!"
Rong Yan panicked, "Father, Rong Yi's death has nothing to do with me! Oh yes, there was indeed someone who saw Miss Gu leaving the house … "
"Who saw it?" The Emperor asked coldly.
"Tianqing and her two subordinates saw it too …"
The Emperor slammed the table, "Bastard! Who would believe that you colluded with her?! "
"And … and the two subordinates …" Rong Yan looked at the two men like a wolf, "Tell me, did you see it that day?!"
The two men were the ones whom Rong Yan wanted to kill. At this moment, the two of them kneeled on the floor and shook their heads like a rattle drum, "No! It was Miss Gu Tianqing who asked us to say that we saw it and report it to the Imperial Clan Court … In fact, we really did not see anything. "
Rong Yan was speechless.
Gu Tianqing was speechless.
The two men kneeled again and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, we were just following Miss Gu's instructions. She promised that if we could complete the task, she would give us a thousand taels of silver each. She also said that even if we failed, she would not let us go to jail … We did not expect that she would not care about us anymore after using us. Not only did she leave us to fend for ourselves in the prison, she even sent someone to kill us! If we were not lucky, we would have been poisoned to death in the prison! Fortunately, Duke Lu arrived in time and saved us. Only then were we able to tell him the whole story … "
Everything was crystal clear. The Emperor said angrily, "Bastard, what else do you have to say now?! If you two don't have a guilty conscience, why did you kill these two people?! "
Wasn't this a blatant lie? The Emperor was defeated by his son's intelligence!
He knew that his son wasn't very smart, but he didn't expect him to be so stupid!
With this series of evidence, Rong Yan would not be able to clear his name even if he had a hundred mouths!
He could only kowtow and cry out his grievances. He had a vague feeling that he had fallen into a big trap, but he couldn't figure out who had set this trap for him!
His heart was frozen and burning. He could not help but look up at Gu Xijiu. Gu Xijiu was standing there with her lips pursed tightly. Her eyes were shining like a cold lake under the moonlight.
Was this a trap she had set for herself?!
Impossible! After all, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl. How could she set up such a complicated trap?
Although many people knew about his relationship with Gu Tianqing, buying a necklace for Gu Tianqing was a secret. Only the two of them and Gu Tianyi knew about it. Besides, the fact that Gu Tianqing was pregnant was a secret. Apart from them, no one else knew about it!
