In the Sky Prison.

The Sky Prison in the palace was not as damp and dark as a normal prison, and the smell of blood was very strong. The Sky Prison in the palace was not as damp and dim as a normal prison, and it also had a very bloody smell, but because there were many injuries on the bodies of the dead.

Qingwu saw this and immediately placed the shirt she had prepared in her hand on Qiao once more. With a look of worry, she slowly said: "Your majesty, the yin energy here is too dense. You must be careful so as to not catch a cold."

"Right." Qiao once again pursed his lips and answered. He tightened the clothes on his shoulders. Although he didn't say much, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

Joe continued to walk forward slowly. The cells around him were filled with criminals from the imperial court, corrupt officials and extremely sinful people.

And Eunuch Gao's cell door was located at the innermost area.

Joe continued forward, finally stopping in front of a cell door.

Inside the prison, an elderly man, dressed in shabby clothes with a disheveled appearance, was no longer the head eunuch who showed off his might in the Hall of Golden Chimes, nor was he the famous person in front of two generations of emperors. Right now, he was only a prisoner who struggled on the brink of death.

"Open the door." Joe said to the guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard bowed and opened the cell door.

When the jailer said the word 'emperor', Eunuch Gao finally raised his heavy eyelids and looked at the door that was just about to open, but Qiao Qiao was still there.

"Your majesty!" Eunuch Gao's face was full of excitement as he shouted, "Your majesty, you're finally here!" As he spoke, he was about to leap towards Qiao Qiao's feet.

"How dare you!" Qingwu coldly snorted and pulled out the long sword at her waist. With a cold expression, she stood in front of Qiao Qiao to block him.

Seeing that Eunuch Gao looked as if he had something to say, Qiao Qiao waved his hand towards Qingwu, turned around, and said to the prison guard who was guarding the door:

"You can all leave first."

"Yes." Everyone obeyed and left.

"Qingwu, step down." Qiao Qiao still ordered Qingwu who was standing in front of her.

"Yes." Qingwu turned sideways and put the sword on her waist, but she still followed closely behind Joe. Her eyes were sharp and she was always on alert, just in case she needed something.

"Eunuch Gao, there are no longer any outsiders here. If you have something to say, feel free to say it." Qiao still walked slowly towards Eunuch Gao, wanting to help him up from his kneeling position.

"Your Majesty, this old servant is guilty!" This old servant deserves to die! This old servant shouldn't have begged the emperor for forgiveness, but there's one thing I have to tell the emperor, otherwise even if I die, I won't feel at ease. " Eunuch Gao did not get up. Instead, he knelt down in front of Qiao still, looking like he was sincerely repenting.

Qiao Qiao continued to watch the every move of Eunuch Gao indifferently, seemingly sincerely repenting. However, with a single glance, one could tell that he was someone who was afraid of death.

He had served the emperor for two generations, so how could he not understand the emperor's personality? He then knelt down and moved closer to Qiao Qiao as if he was still crying, and said, "Your majesty, this old servant is old and does not ask for the emperor's forgiveness, but please hear the old servant speak the truth. The real mastermind behind the assassination of Minister Han and Imperial Consort Ning is Prime Minister Luo, your majesty!"

After saying so, Qiao Qiao's gaze remained focused and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Finally, his gaze focused on Eunuch Gao. His eyes were filled with a probing charm, as if he was trying to distinguish if the words were true or false.

"Your Majesty, this old servant is the one who is about to die, so I absolutely do not dare to deceive Your Majesty. At that time, Yingyue did indeed find this old servant, and this old servant knows that I am ashamed of her, so naturally, I could not bear it any longer." Your Majesty, this old servant is the one who is about to die, and I absolutely do not dare to deceive Your Majesty.

"But Prime Minister Luo heard the news from somewhere and found out that Yingyue is this old servant's daughter, so he used this matter to threaten me, and found this old servant to do things for them, and assassinated Assistant Minister Han. Your majesty, you know, if this eunuch from the imperial harem is impure, and even has a daughter, what kind of punishment is that? This old servant was afraid for a moment, and agreed to do everything for Yingyue, but once Assistant Minister Han is dead, His majesty will definitely not believe this old servant anymore. So this old servant found Prime Minister Luo and the imperial concubine, and told her what happened before entering the palace."

Eunuch Gao's sincere face made Qiao Qiao fall into deep thought. As he said these words, he did not seem to be lying, not to mention that Eunuch Gao and Ying Yue were indeed unable to threaten a backer like the General's concubine, and to be able to cover the sky before Qiao Qiao's eyes, other than Yan Mo Chen, only Prime Minister Luo was left. It seemed that Prime Minister Luo had long extended his claws to the back palace, and by acting in such a manner, it seemed like Vice Minister Han, Grand Commandant Tan and Prime Minister Luo were all on the same boat.

If that was the case, then the power of Prime Minister Luo couldn't be underestimated.

"Your majesty, your majesty, this old servant's words are true." "Your Majesty, this old servant is a first rank eunuch, and should not have a family, but this old servant was impulsive and did things that could not be forgiven, so he hoped that Your Majesty would show mercy and let this old servant leave the palace with his wife and daughter who had gone mad." This old servant will serve the emperor for two generations, and I hope Your Majesty can show mercy as well. "

This old man had only just revealed this matter, it seemed that he was indeed plotting for the sake of his own safety. Moreover, if it wasn't for the fact that Qiao Qiao had discovered Yingyue and pulled him out, then she might have been used by him to protect him from the crime. Now that he had revealed Yingyue, how could he be willing to distance himself from his already crazy wife and daughter?

"Your majesty! Your majesty!"

When Eunuch Gao saw that Qiao was still unmoved and did not have any intention of speaking, he knelt and crawled towards Qiao Qiao. He reached out to grab the corner of Qiao Qiao's clothes, but just as he was about to grab it, he was kicked away.

"Eunuch Gao, not to mention Assistant Minister Han, the matter of you forcing Xiyue's mother back then is unforgivable. Furthermore, you relied on your status as the Eunuch in charge of this harem to bully many people. Do you think that I do not know about this?" Qiao once again sneered and slowly bent over. "Eunuch Gao, even if you were to expose the truth about your death sentence, it cannot be avoided. Today you have said all of this, you should be at ease in your death."

Eunuch Gao laid on his side on the ground, looking at Qiao Qiao with a face full of fear. He had thought that Qiao Qiao would still have a kind disposition after he had made amends by telling the truth. He never thought that Qiao Qiao would still be so heartless after seeing him die due to his old care and the already crazy Yingyue.

"Men, give me poison wine!"

Qiao once again gave a cold snort. Someone immediately brought a cup of poisoned wine and handed it over to Eunuch Gao.

"No, I don't drink, I don't drink." Eunuch Gao stood up in a sorry state and stuck his head into the pile of grass behind him. "I don't want to die, I can't!"

Joe stood still and watched as the two guards grabbed Eunuch Gao and forced him to open his mouth. They poured the poison wine into his mouth and sprayed the black poison wine all over his neck.

"Eunuch Gao, this is the biggest gift I've given you." Although she was kind, it did not mean that all those who betrayed her would have a good ending. She was kind, but she did not have a Bodhisattva's heart, and she did not have a heart that transcended all living things. Her kindness was only for those who were kind to her, because she knew that to pity her enemies was to be cruel to herself.

"No …" Eunuch Gao's aggrieved eyes slowly closed as he spat out the last word. Following that, a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his lips as he slowly fell to the ground.

Qiao Qiao's lips still curled into a cold smile. This Eunuch Gao used his status as a eunuch of the harem to commit evil. This way of dying was giving him face.

"Let's go." Qiao Qiao still waved his hand and said to Qingwu.

Qingwu's eyes didn't have the slightest trace of sympathy. She knew that anyone who dared to oppose the emperor would end up like this!

After leaving the Sky Prison, Qiao Qiao took another breath. The hidden danger in the harem was finally eliminated, but the previous dynasty's crisis had come again. She did not know when this would end and when she would be able to live a peaceful life.

"Your Majesty, do you believe in the words of Eunuch Gao?" Qingwu followed behind Qiao Qiao, seemingly deep in thought.

"What do you think?" Qiao Qiao still turned his head and lightly smiled.

"This servant thinks that it is not surprising that, in order to protect himself, Eunuch Gao made up some nonsense to ask the Emperor for mercy." Qingwu truthfully said.

"I don't think so. Eunuch Gao must be speaking the truth today." The corner of Qiao Qiao's lips slightly raised, his brows slightly raised. After which, he laughed loudly and took large strides away.

And even though Qingwu had still received Qiao Qiao's conclusion but still didn't get Qiao Qiao's explanation, she was still a bit confused. She could only shake her head and follow Qiao Qiao's footsteps. She believed that as long as it was the Emperor, everything was right …
