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 a.s.sa.s.sin into the imperial prison and planned to do the interrogation himself.

When the a.s.sa.s.sin saw the Emperor, he did not say a word. Instead, he spat out a mouthful of blood at him and said, Dont waste your time. You have captured me. So be it

Not waiting for him to finish, the Emperor kicked his b.a.l.l.s. Youre a man, thats for sure. I just dont know how long you can be manly.

He turned to Eunuch Qian and said, Go to find the eunuch responsible for cleansing a mans body for eunuchs.h.i.+p. Clean his body.

Yes. Eunuch Qian looked at the a.s.sa.s.sin 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 a.s.sa.s.sin seriously.

The a.s.sa.s.sin was frightened by his stare. He thought that the Emperor was thinking about how to torture him. He sneered and said, Forget about being cleansed. Even if you cut me into pieces, I wont even blink.

Yeah, I hope you can still be arrogant during that. The Emperor said this and mocked, Look at you. You act so arrogantly. So why did you fall from the tree?

You The a.s.sa.s.sin was furious.

To be honest, he didnt 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 embarra.s.sing for an a.s.sa.s.sin of his caliber.

King An stepped forward at this moment and added, Your Majesty, according to the doctors diagnosis, he fainted from hunger and fell from the tree.

Dont look at how big and burly he looks. He looks like a man, but hes actually a weak little woman. Otherwise, he wouldnt have fallen after starving for a few meals. What a coward.

Shut up; I didnt 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?

You said you went without food for three days on that tree? The Emperor asked.

Thats right. Besides, I brought water with me. How could I faint from hunger?

In other words, on the day the retired Emperor pa.s.sed away, you were already on the tree.

Thats right. If I were late, you would have sent troops to clear the way. It wont be so easy to hide there then.

It seems that you know the rules of the imperial family very well. You also partic.i.p.ated in the plot against my father, right?

The a.s.sa.s.sin was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had misspoken. He snorted coldly and did not speak again.

The Emperor also discovers hes just arrogant and not shrewd.

He tried to get information out of him. Unfortunately, although the a.s.sa.s.sin 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 Emperors a.s.sa.s.sination and even partic.i.p.ated 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 didnt expect to cause his Empress to lose her life. Thinking of this, he wanted nothing more than to pull out this a.s.sa.s.sins tendons and skin him alive.

Soon, Eunuch Qian came in with Eunuch Hua. Eunuch Qian pointed at the a.s.sa.s.sin and said, Its him. Remember to do it slowly, but dont hurt his life.

Eunuch Qian, dont worry. He will definitely make him suffer a lot of pain, but he will survive. Eunuch Hua looked at the a.s.sa.s.sin and replied.

He later called a few prison guards to help him tie the a.s.sa.s.sin to a rack, and he took out a small knife that was emitting a glint..
