Chapter 633: Who Is He Liang
Zhao Sanbao was carried out of the Imperial Kitchen, bound tightly like the swine that had once been delivered to the palace.
The eunuchs carrying him were seething with anger, especially after learning that Zhao Sanbao had once poisoned Her Majesty the Empress. Their eyes burned with fury as they looked at Zhao Sanbao, as though they wanted to devour him whole.
her Majesty the Empress had been a true virtuous empress in the history of the Great Liang Dynasty. These eunuchs had served alongside her for over a decade and knew well that those years had been the most beautiful time of their lives.
“Eunuch Li, allow this servant to take over,” said a young eunuch after Zhao Sanbao had been brought to the torture chamber and tied to the rack. His voice was earnest as he looked at Li Heng and continued, “Her Majesty treated us with such kindness. This servant has no other way to repay her but to make sure the one who harmed Her Majesty is... taken good care of.”
As he spoke, several other eunuchs knelt behind him, kowtowing to Li Heng.
Li Heng said with vicissitudes of emotion, “It's good that you all remember Her Majesty's kindness, but of everyone she favored, I'm the one who owes Her Majesty the most. How could I let anyone else handle this matter?”
The young eunuch looked somewhat disappointed but said no more.
Li Heng thought for a moment before saying, “I'll return in an hour. Don't let him die.”
With that, Li Heng turned and left the torture chamber. Behind him, the eunuchs knelt and exclaimed joyfully, “Thank you, Eunuch Li!”
