Lord Gu kept giving his steward warning glances.
The steward, who was standing behind the crowd, took the hint and promptly left.
Emperor Wu frowned a little and glanced at Qin Yan.
He trusted the man.
The Qin family had two sons, Qin Mo and Qin Yan.
Qin Mo was the head of military intelligence and worked in the shadows.
Qin Yan was Emperor Wu’s personal guard and the most senior of the imperial guards.
He nodded at Emperor Wu and quickly left.
Hardly anyone noticed that Qin Yan was gone, so Lord Gu thought that he might still have a chance.
When he arrived at Moon Pavilion, he saw something unexpected.
Qin Yan was holding Steward Gu down with his foot, and oil was splashed everywhere around them.
He stepped hard, and Steward Gu screeched in pain.
Seeing this, Lord Gu was filled with despair.
“What’s going on?” Emperor Wu frowned.
Qin Yan said, “Your Majesty, I came here to examine Moon Pavilion, but this sneaky old man was pouring oil all over the building. He wanted to burn the place down.”
“How dare he?!” Emperor Wu was furious. He turned around and stared at Gu Guanjun. “Are you trying to fool me?!”
Gu Guanjun’s face had lost all color, and he shook from head to toe.
Emperor Wu told Qin Yan, “Check the room!”
Qin Yan said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Qin Yan led some men into Moon Pavilion and soon came back to report to Emperor Wu. “Your Majesty, a table inside has been knocked over. The blood splatter fits Mrs. Gu’s recount. Moon Pavilion is indeed the crime scene.”
Those words signed Lord Gu’s death warrant.
All eyes were on him.
His children stared at him in disbelief.
“Why is this happening?! I can’t believe it!”
“What’s going on? What’s happening to our family?!”
“I don’t believe you…”
None of them could accept what had happened. It was horrible.
The looks the others gave them were even more complicated.
At first, everyone believed that Feng Wu was the killer, but it turned out that she had been wronged, and Lord Gu was the real culprit…
Lord Gu looked at each child in turn before glaring at Feng Wu.
Suddenly, he smiled bitterly.
He laughed like a mad person. “I never thought that I would be defeated by a girl!”
He looked from Jun Linshen to the ladies, before turning his gaze on Feng Wu. “You won!”
After that, his hand shifted in his sleeve.
Poof!
Jun Linyuan knocked the dagger out of his hand.
He wouldn’t let Lord Gu die so easily!
Then something unexpected happened.
“My lady!” Mrs. Zuo shouted.
Everyone was shocked when they saw a dagger in the old lady’s chest, and she herself was holding the handle.
That was to say…
