Since the other party had chosen Yuan Tang as the scapegoat, his life should be safe for the time being, at least until the wife of Prince Rui could testify against him.
Gu Jiao left Prince Rui's mansion.
She boarded the Medical Hall's carriage.
She had not gone far when the carriage was stopped by someone.
It was Yuan Tang.
Yuan Tang approached the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said to Gu Jiao, "I thought about it all night after returning to the palace yesterday. The more I think about it, the more something seems off. You just asked me if I had any connection with the crown princess of Zhan Country, and then I was chased down for murder. Tell me honestly, do you know something? Is this matter related to the royal family of Zhan Country?"
Gu Jiao replied indifferently, "No comment."
If I tell you the truth and you reveal your whereabouts from that day, making a perfect alibi for yourself, then the wife of Prince Rui would lose her value in pointing the finger at you.
