Chapter 734 - 731: Deep Friendship_1
The Crown Prince furrowed his brow upon hearing these words.
"Until the criminal exited from King Liang’s mansion, the person who saved the criminal called him to a house. Later, the elder and the gentleman from the Crown Prince’s residence arrived. That person asked me to tell the two gentlemen from the Crown Prince’s residence my name, and then had me taken out. After that, I was brought to the Crown Prince’s residence again. This is all I know!" Wang Qiulu finished speaking and kowtowed once more. "The criminal knows, the criminal’s sins are unforgivable. I dare not deceive the Crown Prince any further."
"Is it possible... that it was the Princess of Zhen who saved you? Did you say this to avoid implicating the Princess of Zhen?" the Crown Prince asked.
"Returning to the Crown Prince, the criminal truly does not know if it was the Princess of Zhen who saved the criminal! If Your Highness does not believe me, you can ask the two gentlemen from your residence. Who exactly claimed to have saved the criminal and handed me over to the two gentlemen from the Crown Prince’s residence? The criminal is also eager to know!"
The Crown Prince sat up straight, gazing at Wang Qiulu, who was kowtowing at his feet. His fingers stroked the armrest of the chair.
The prison guard and the gambler from Shuoyang, both tied up tightly, trembled in fear. Kneeling there, they didn’t dare to breathe deeply.
"What about you two... what do you have to say?" the Crown Prince looked at the prison guard and gambler.
The two only trembled with their heads bowed, not knowing the Crown Prince was calling them. Quan Yu took small steps over and kicked the prison guard down, shouting sternly, "The Crown Prince is asking a question, answer quickly!"
