Having said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Xuan beside him, and complained unhappily, "Commander Lu, are you just going to watch this eunuch act arrogantly and bully me? This is Duke Cheng'en's Mansion!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Arrogant and domineering? Bullying? Lord Cheng'en must be getting old and confused. I've been sitting here all the time, but I've never seen Lord Luo being arrogant or bullying you."

"You—" Lord Cheng'en was immediately furious, and then looked at Lu Xuan in disbelief, "You actually colluded with this eunuch..."

Before he could finish, a Black Qilin Guard hurried in and reported quickly, "Your Excellency, we have found three charred bodies in Prince Chen's bedroom!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Duke Cheng'en and his wife's faces changed drastically, with an expression of disbelief and grief.

“Shou’er—” Lady Cheng’en screamed miserably, clutching her chest and wailing heartbreakingly, “Wuwuwu—my Shou’er—who on earth has harmed you—”

Duke Cheng'en pointed at Luo Zheng and shouted angrily, "It's you, isn't it? You set the fire on purpose and even got the gunpowder, killing my Shou'er! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm going to fight you!"

After saying that, he suddenly rushed forward and tried to pull out the sword from the Black Kirin Guard's waist, but the man dodged it vigilantly.

Luo Zheng stepped forward and kicked him to the ground without any mercy!

After all, Lord Cheng'en was old, and when he was kicked down suddenly, his tailbone instantly cracked with a "crack" sound, and the pain made his whole old face wrinkled.

Upon seeing this, his wife screamed out loud, "Commander Lu, you saw it all! This eunuch not only killed my son, but now he's trying to kill the Duke of Cheng'en right in front of you!

Do you really want to watch him harm loyal and good people? If anything happens to Duke Cheng'en, how will you explain it to His Majesty?"

Luo Zheng sneered disdainfully: "Lord Cheng'en? Han, Commander Lu only gave you some face because he saw that you two were old. You insisted on being so arrogant, so you can't blame Commander Lu.

Empress Chen poisoned His Majesty and attempted to assassinate Him. This is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan! Do you think His Majesty will forgive you?"

The couple's faces changed drastically, and there was unconcealable panic in their eyes.

"You're talking nonsense!" Lady Cheng'en refused to believe it. "The Empress has always been virtuous, dignified, generous, gentle and submissive. How could she do such a thing?"

Duke Cheng'en looked at Luo Zheng with an icy gaze, then said, "It's you, isn't it? You and Jiang deliberately framed the Empress! You're so bold!"

"Pa!" Luo Zheng slapped Duke Cheng'en fiercely. "What a cunning old traitor! Even when death is imminent, you still dare to bite the Imperial Concubine!"

After saying that, he looked at the Black Qilin Guard again: "What else did you find?"

The man said quickly, "We found a tunnel! Prince Chen must have escaped through it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the wife of Duke Cheng'en instantly turned gloomy!

"No—you're talking nonsense—it's impossible—"

The tunnel was clearly destroyed, how did these people find it?

Lady Cheng'en couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

First, Chen Huan suddenly got into trouble, and now even Chen Shou’s fake death and escape was exposed.

And who was behind all that gunpowder and the burning warehouse?

Despite her panic, she decided to remain stubborn and say, "Impossible—how could there be a tunnel in Shou'er's yard? You must have deliberately framed her!"

Unfortunately, neither Luo Zheng nor Lu Xuan were willing to listen to her excuses.

The two men directly asked their men to guard the couple, and then quickly went to Chen Shou's yard to check the tunnel.

At this time, Chen Shou's collapsed bedroom had been cleared out by the Black Kirin Guards.

When Luo Zheng and Lu Xuan arrived, they saw three charred bodies lying in the house.

Two of the bodies were lying near the bed, with their heads facing the door, apparently trying to escape.

The third body was lying near the tunnel entrance.
