After Zhou Ying left the palace, she went to two restaurants and told them about all the tofu recipes that she knew before returning to her residence.
At the same time, the Emperor still did not receive a reply from King An, so he ordered people to take the assassin into the imperial prison and planned to do the interrogation himself.
When the assassin saw the Emperor, he did not say a word. Instead, he spat out a mouthful of blood at him and said, âDonât waste your time. You have captured me. So be itâ¦â
Not waiting for him to finish, the Emperor kicked his balls. âYouâre a man, thatâs for sure. I just donât know how long you can be manly.â
He turned to Eunuch Qian and said, âGo to find the eunuch responsible for cleansing a manâs body for eunuchship. Clean his body.â
âYes.â Eunuch Qian looked at the assassin sympathetically, then hurriedly ran out of the imperial prison.
The Emperor took a few steps back and sat on the chair, starting to observe the assassin seriously.
The assassin was frightened by his stare. He thought that the Emperor was thinking about how to torture him. He sneered and said, âForget about being cleansed. Even if you cut me into pieces, I wonât even blink.â
âYeah, I hope you can still be arrogant during that.â The Emperor said this and mocked, âLook at you. You act so arrogantly. So why did you fall from the tree?â
âYouâ¦â The assassin was furious.
To be honest, he didnât know what happened back then, either. He was hiding well on the treetop, but somehow he was struck by a wave of dizziness and fell.
Now that he thought about it, it was embarrassing for an assassin of his caliber.
King An stepped forward at this moment and added, âYour Majesty, according to the doctorâs diagnosis, he fainted from hunger and fell from the tree.
âDonât look at how big and burly he looks. He looks like a man, but heâs actually a weak little woman. Otherwise, he wouldnât have fallen after starving for a few meals. What a coward.â
âShut up; I didnât faint from hunger. I can even survive seven days without food or water, let alone three days. Otherwise, how could I have the strength to pull the bow and shoot otherwise?â
âYou said you went without food for three days on that tree?â The Emperor asked.
âThatâs right. Besides, I brought water with me. How could I faint from hunger?â
âIn other words, on the day the retired Emperor passed away, you were already on the tree.â
âThatâs right. If I were late, you would have sent troops to clear the way. It wonât be so easy to hide there then.â
âIt seems that you know the rules of the imperial family very well. You also participated in the plot against my father, right?â
The assassin was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had misspoken. He snorted coldly and did not speak again.
The Emperor also discovers heâs just arrogant and not shrewd.
He tried to get information out of him. Unfortunately, although the assassin was not clever, he was not stupid. Just in case, he simply did not speak.
The Emperor was helpless when he saw this, but he was also confident that he definitely knew something about the retired Emperorâs assassination and even participated in it.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
At the same time, he knew that although they seemed to be targeting the retired Emperor, their ultimate goal was him.
He didnât expect to cause his Empress to lose her life. Thinking of this, he wanted nothing more than to pull out this assassinâs tendons and skin him alive.
Soon, Eunuch Qian came in with Eunuch Hua. Eunuch Qian pointed at the assassin and said, âItâs him. Remember to do it slowly, but donât hurt his life.â
âEunuch Qian, donât worry. He will definitely make him suffer a lot of pain, but he will survive.â Eunuch Hua looked at the assassin and replied.
He later called a few prison guards to help him tie the assassin to a rack, and he took out a small knife that was emitting a glint..
