Rong Yan had a headache thinking about it, but he could not figure out the key point.
The Emperor could not show favoritism in front of the public. He ordered Rong Yan and Gu Tianqing to be sent to the prison to be interrogated by the three departments before making a decision.
After all, Rong Yan was just a prince in his teens. Although he grew up in the palace, he was not a threat. Some people in the palace looked down on him, but few would plot against him because it was not worth it.
Therefore, he was not a scheming person. At this time, when he saw a huge case falling on his head, and he was unable to prove his innocence, he was already panicking!
He was timid, and before the guards came to arrest him, he was paralyzed and could not even stand up. He was dragged away by the guards.
On the other hand, Gu Tianqing was still a tough girl. Although she was scared, she could still stand up and said, "Your majesty, I really did not send anyone to harm Count Le Hua. I really did not know about it. Your majesty, please investigate this matter and I will prove my innocence …"
Her voice was sharp, and her image of a lady was gone. She was extremely embarrassed.
However, no one listened to her, and no one believed her. Even her father, who loved her the most, turned his face away and did not look at her.
She was full of despair. When she was dragged to the staircase, her eyes fell on Gu Xijiu. Suddenly, she became crazy and shouted, "It's her! It must be her! She is not Gu Xijiu! Everything is wrong! She must have been possessed by some evil spirit! She is here to harm me! She is usually so weak, and she did not even dare to make a sound when she was bullied. But now, she is like a different person … She is definitely not her! She is a devil … "
She did not manage to finish her sentence. Instead, her acupuncture point was poked by the servant who escorted her and she was dragged away.
Initially, it was a happy event when Gu Xijiu won against the saint of the Tianwen clan, and the Emperor wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate. However, he was no longer in the mood after such an incident.
The words that Gu Tianqing shouted before she left did not seem to bother him at all. He did not ask her anything either. He even comforted her a little and chatted with the officials for a while. Then, he went back to the palace.
…
Gu Xijiu and Gu Xietian went back in the same carriage. On the way back, Gu Xietian was filled with emotions. He talked to her and tried to recall some of her childhood memories.
Unfortunately, he had very little contact with this daughter, and the scenes that he could recall were pitifully few.
However, there were at least two or three scenes that only the father and daughter knew. Gu Xietian seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally leading the conversation to those scenes …
Gu Xijiu sneered in her heart. It seemed like Gu Xietian was also suspicious of her. That was why he was testing her!
Fortunately, Gu Xijiu had the original owner's memory. Although the original owner was weak, she had a good memory. Therefore, Gu Xijiu was able to answer Gu Xietian's questions.
Suddenly, she crossed her arms and looked at Gu Xietian, "General, are you suspecting me?"
Gu Xietian was embarrassed by her words. He sighed, "Xijiu, you have really changed a lot …"
Gu Xijiu faintly said, "Haven't you heard of the saying, 'Put yourself in a dead end'? When cornered, even a rabbit can bite a person to death! " At this moment, they had arrived at the gate of the mansion. After Gu Xijiu said that, she jumped off the carriage and left.
Gu Xietian slapped his forehead in annoyance. What was wrong with him? Did he suspect his own daughter as well?
