Chapter 654: 310 The Truth Comes Out (Second update of the day)_6

Without the Emperor’s annoying son snatching at her food, Dowager Empress Zhuang was eating happily.

After the meal, Gu Jiao took out the tassel and asked, "Granny, have you seen anyone wear this tassel before?"

Dowager Empress Zhuang frowned at the tassel, "Such an ugly tassel, never seen it before!"

It was not ugly, Gu Jiao thought.

"Wait a minute, I think I may have seen it." Dowager Empress Zhuang, looking up at the sky, tried to remember but then shrugged, "I can’t remember."

Great, the clue she just got was cut off abruptly.

"Where did you get this tassel?" Dowager Empress Zhuang asked.

"I found it." Gu Jiao said impassively, "This tassel might have something to do with the assassin who tried to kill His Majesty."

Gu Jiao walked over, grabbed one of the burly men, and quickly knocked several down.

Seeing they were no match for Gu Jiao, the remaining men ran away in a panic.

Gu Jiao squatted down next to the man. Not knowing what was happening, the man prepared for another round of attacks. He covered his head with one hand and held the package in his arms with the other.

Gu Jiao gently poked his shoulder with her lean finger, "It’s me."
