He stepped forward and rubbed the a.s.sa.s.sin’s face. “Only with some oil can a blunt knife cut through flesh. Now, enjoy yourself.”
After saying that, he reached out to untie the a.s.sa.s.sin’s belt.
“Are you for real?” The a.s.sa.s.sin panicked.
“Nonsense, do you think killing my family member will grant you an easy death?” The Emperor added, “After cutting it off, feed it to the dogs.”
“I want him to be an eunuch for every reincarnation.”
“Yes.” Eunuch Hua nodded, then looked at the a.s.sa.s.sin with a fierce expression.
When the a.s.sa.s.sin heard that the Emperor wanted him to be an eunuch even in his other lives, he remembered that eunuchs usually kept their body parts after cutting them off.
However, his would be fed to the dogs. Could it be…
“Don’t, don’t castrate me,” the a.s.sa.s.sin hurriedly said just as Eunuch Hua was about to strike.
“Hmph, weren’t you supposed to be tough? It just so happens that I’ve never seen someone get castrated before.” The Emperor looked at him with a cold smile.
Although the a.s.sa.s.sin gritted his teeth angrily, he knew he was meat on the chopping board. He could be chopped up and fed to the dogs at any time.
“If I tell you, will you leave me a complete corpse?” The a.s.sa.s.sin asked after a moment of hesitation.
“A cup of poisoned wine.” The Emperor nodded.
The a.s.sa.s.sin heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m a hidden chess piece left behind by King Hui when he left. Five days ago, I received news that I had to hide at the city gate in advance to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Emperor.”
“What was your previous ident.i.ty?”
“I was in the royal guards previously. When King Hui forced the abdication, he didn’t make me partic.i.p.ate, just in case.”
“Are there any other people from King Hui’s side in the royal guards?”
“I don’t think so. I was kept here because of my archery skills.”
“Who sent you the message?”
“I only know that she’s a nanny in the palace. She has the smell of traditional medicine on her; I don’t know the details.”
“What else do you know?”
“I’m in one-way contact. I really don’t know.” The a.s.sa.s.sin paused for a moment before adding, “By the way, there seems to be a burn scar on the back of her neck. It’s either a red birthmark or something. It was too dark then, so I couldn’t be sure.”
“I do know about this nanny. She was previously a subordinate of Consort Shu. I don’t know what she did later, but Consort Shu burned half her back in a cup of tea.
Later, the Empress saved her and invited a doctor for her.” Eunuch Hua said.
“Qian.” The Emperor looked at Eunuch Qian.
Eunuch Qian immediately understood and brought his men over. The nanny was quickly caught, and her mouth was stuffed with a rag.
Eunuch Qian stepped forward and said, “The Emperor, we caught her. She wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide. Fortunately, the guards found her in time.”
“Another one who isn’t afraid of death. No wonder you people could hide so deeply.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he kicked the nanny to the front of the a.s.sa.s.sin and said, “Admit it, is it her?”.
“It’s her, it’s her. That’s what’s on her neck.” The a.s.sa.s.sin nodded repeatedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he received the nanny’s death stare.
The a.s.sa.s.sin’s heart skipped a beat. However, he straightened his neck and said, “What are you looking at? King Hui isn’t here. Even if I say something, it won’t implicate him.”
The nanny stared at him even more terrifyingly.
Seeing this, King An waved his hand and got someone to give the nanny some anesthetic. He said, “He’s right. King Hui is not here. Just say whatever you have to say.”
“We won’t make things difficult for you. Otherwise…
“Well, it would be hard to say what would happen to you then..”
