205 Debunking Fake (Two updates combined into one) _5

Thank you so much, sister.

The emperor was heavily engrossed in arithmetic and astronomy so when he heard her mention it, he nearly signaled her to go on. Fortunately, he remembered his objective, "So what about the bellows? Did you truly invent it? If not, do you understand the crime you've committed? Be honest with me, considering the old marquis' sake, I can spare you this once. Otherwise, if I find any evidence, Gu Jinyu, you know the consequences."

The crime of deceiving the monarch, the light would be punished by caning, the heavy would be caned to death.

A wave of panic settled within Gu Jinyu's heart.

Didn't the Emperor believe her just yesterday? Why did he suddenly become suspicious?

Did the Emperor summon Gu Jiao and then Gu Jiao concocted something about her in front of the Emperor?

What an obnoxious girl!

Although Gu Jinyu was moved by the Emperor's proposition, she still retained her last bit of clarity.

This was a trap set by the Emperor!
