"Bang!"
Emperor Dugu Jingtian slammed the table and said angrily, "Even the Prince Consort dares to assassinate, such audacity! I'll dispatch investigators immediately; we must catch the assassin!"
"No need for an investigation, I already know who the assassin is." Dugu Xiu said through gritted teeth.
"Oh?" Dugu Jingtian raised an eyebrow, "Who is the assassin?"
"Bai Daqing." Dugu Xiu squeezed out three words through clenched teeth.
"Impossible?" Dugu Jingtian furrowed his brow, "How could it be Bai Daqing? He couldn't possibly do such a thing."
"It is Bai Daqing! There's absolutely no mistake!" Dugu Xiu said emphatically, "The guards found a token on the dead assassin, with the words 'Prince's Mansion' on it. What does this imply? It implies that the assassin was sent by Prince Bai Daqing himself!"
"A token from the Prince's Mansion was found on him?" Dugu Jingtian was stunned for a moment, "Did you see it clearly? Could it be a counterfeit?"
