134 Marriage as a Wife, Eloping as a Concubine (2/2)

The commoners downstairs were about to leave but they gathered back again when they heard Duke Lu.

Duke Lu rushed upstairs, along with the Minister from the Ministry of Justice, the Minister from the Court of Judicial, Master Hu from the Court of the Imperial Clan, as well as other commoners.

In anger, Gu Tianqing was considering what to do next, but she casually raised her head and was shocked to see the commoners entering!

She was only familiar with the two of them amongst the many. They used to work for her, to be the witnesses to testify on behalf of Gu Xijiu…

She turned towards Rong Yan!

He used to say that he will make sure that they disappeared from earth! But why were they now here?!

Rong Yan turned pale while clenching his fists in his sleeve!

He undoubtedly bribed the prison head to kill the two of them silently! Why were they still alive?

He felt uneasy - disaster was just around the corner!

His sixth sense was rather good because Duke Lu was glaring fiercely at him as soon as he arrived.

As Duke Lu spoke, he immediately blurted, ”Your Majesty, the person who killed my son is none other than the twelfth prince, His Highness Rong Yan!”

Everyone present was shocked.

Rong Yan was shocked and shouted that he was innocent. Unfortunately, Duke Lu came well prepared. He brought all types of evidences, with each one proving that he was indeed the culprit!

What Rong Yan was trying to hide was made known too.

For example, the personal vendetta between Count Le Hua and himself. As Count Le Hua had insulted and humiliated him publicly, he used to swear - under the influence -that he was going to kill Rong Yi. Even the witness was present to testify what he had said.
