137 They Were Trying to Mask Their Guil (2/2)

Rong Yan and Gu Tianqing remained silent.

The two maids kneeled down, bowed and said, ”Your Majesty, we did it solely based on the orders by Miss Gu Tianqing. She promised that once we accomplished the task, she would reward us with a thousand dollars. She even promised that if the task had failed, she would help us to not end up in jail… However, we never expected her not to care about us after we had successfully completed her task. Not only did she not take care of us when we were in prison but had also sent someone to murder us. Fortunately, King Lu came on time that day to save us or else we would have been dead in prison by now…”

Everything was clear now. The emperor angrily scolded, ”Bastard, what else can you say now? If both of you are innocent, why would you want to murder these two people?”

Apparently, they were trying to mask their guilt. The Emperor was disappointed with the foolish actions of his son.

He knew that his son was not too smart, but never did he expect that his son could be this stupid.

With a series of evidence, it was impossible for Rong Yan to defend himself anymore.

He could only bow and claim innocence. In his heart, he felt that he was trapped but he did not know who had actually set him up.

He had a complicated feeling and could not help but look towards Gu Xijiu. She was standing there without any facial expressions, but her eyes were shining, as cold as the moonlight.

Was she the one who set him up?

It was impossible! After all, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl. How could she have hatched such a complicated trap?!

Although there were quite a few people who knew about his affair with Gu Tianqing, there was no one else who actually knew about the necklace except for their own. Besides, the pregnancy of Gu Tianqing was completely a secret, and there was no third person who actually knew about this matter.

How did King Lu get his hands on all these information? Who told him about these secrets?
