The Emperor remained silent.
The next day, Yuan Tang was recuperating at home when a few guards from the Dali Temple and the Honglu Temple came to his residence.
An official from the Dali Temple said, "The Emperor has been assassinated, and the Dali Temple has caught a suspect who happens to be a man from the Sixth Prince's entourage. We have also found an object belonging to the Sixth Prince at the scene. As such, we ask the Sixth Prince to accompany us to the Dali Temple!"
Yuan Tang furrowed his brows.
He hadn't expected Gu Jiao to manage to convince the Emperor.
The witness was naturally someone the Emperor utilised to frame Yuan Tang. After all, a single tassel wasn't enough to implicate Yuan Tang. He could easily claim that it had been lost or stolen.
But the sudden appearance of a witness was a troublesome development.
Moreover, the witness was one of Yuan Tang's own guards.
Not a close guard, merely a third-class guard.
