Kabanata 148: Chapter 102: Ying Zheng: What? It Was Zhao Feng Who Saved Tai Hou? (Part 4)

Although Ying Zheng showed little emotion, the palpable coldness and murderous intent were impossible to hide.

If he truly hadn't brought her back, Tu Sui's life would have reached its end. At this point, even Empress Dowager Huayang wouldn't have been able to protect him.

"The Tai Hou has been safely brought back," Tu Sui said, raising his head with a fearful expression.

Upon hearing this, the murderous aura filling Ying Zheng dissipated, and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Tu Sui, do you admit your guilt?" Ying Zheng coldly demanded.

Tu Sui knelt on the ground, responding in fear, "Your servant acknowledges his guilt."

"Your servant was commanded to guard the Yong City Royal Palace, yet allowed the Tai Hou to be abducted by traitors."

"This is my dereliction of duty. Please impose a heavy punishment, Great King," he implored.
