There was a look of heartache in Liu Rushuang's eyes, but she coaxed, "I'll clear your name soon, Yuan'er. Don't worry."
With that, she turned to dry her damp eyes.
"Boo-hoo… Mother… I don't want to go to prison… I really didn't kill Elder Meng… Boo-hoo…"
With that, Longyuan was taken away despite his bawling, while Han Moze and Liu Rushuang personally interrogated Elder Meng and the two guardsmen who were on duty last night.
"Du Yuan, tell me everything you've done last night—especially before midnight. Give it to me in detail!"
Han Moze leveled a stern, imposing gaze on Du Yuan as he interrogated the guardsman.
Du Yuan kept his head lowered and a look of glee flashed in his eyes. Still, he answered reverently, "Your Majesty, I have been standing watch outside the door for the whole night. Nothing else happened, other than Lü Hai going to the toilet."
"What about you, Lü Hai?"
