Commandery Princess Gu Luoshui was right beside him, staring intently at Wu Hen. She wouldn't leave his side until he was completely cleared of suspicion. The previous night, as Wu Hen bathed, she even made sure to stand at the door, sending a maid in as well.

Gu Luoshui gave a cold snort.
In that instant of eye contact with this foreigner, Gu Luoshui knew exactly what was on this man's mind.

"Neither do I," Gu Luoshui replied frankly.
