Taihe Palace.
The Emperor's bedroom.
The Emperor lay on the Dragon Couch, listening to the sound of paddling coming from outside, his face filled with anger.
Outside of the hall, Eunuch Fu stood there overseeing the interrogation.
Yesterday, after he left the ointment behind, everyone who had entered his room was under suspicion and brought in for questioning.
Poisoning the ointment, this was an attempt to harm him.
Eunuch Fu could guess who harbored ill-will against him, but he couldn't speak without evidence.
To aid in harming him was an act of sheer recklessness.
The result of failing to harm him dragged the Emperor into this misfortune. If the poisoner wasn't caught, it would be Eunuch Fu who'd suffer the consequences.
Concerned as it was a matter related to him, how could Eunuch Fu not take it seriously?
"Hit!"
"Hit them hard for me!"
"If none confess, beat them all to death for me!"
The sound of paddling drowned out Eunuch Fu's voice.
