Wei Jin was stupefied.
His mouth hung open, unable to close it for a long while.
Wei Shu, however, raised an eyebrow.
He had underestimated Xiao Tong— at such a time, he had not hesitated to sell out his master, cleansing himself of all suspicion, and tossing all the blame onto Wei Jin.
He was innocent!
He had merely provided a key.
He even had an alibi!
Having already played the villain, he might as well see it through.
Xiao Tong kowtowed to Emperor Yue, "Your Majesty, although King Rui honored me by calling me his teacher, we only discussed poetry and literature or played chess and guqin together. I truly have no knowledge of His Highness's actions!"
"But I believe in His Highness; he would never do something like shooting Madam King Huan! His Highness has always spoken highly of Madam King Huan, calling her a heroine among women and expressing admiration for her talent!"
Ha...
Such explanations might as well have been left unsaid!
