Chapter 404 Loyal and Commendable

Zhou Yi bowed and retreated.

The Orthodox Emperor watched the disappearing figure and suddenly asked the eunuch by his side,

"Little Yuanzi, on the day when the tribute entered the palace, you were conveniently out visiting relatives. Do you think he was the one who poisoned me?"

Eunuch Yuan's complexion turned to one of alarm as his mind raced to consider what to say at this moment.

Whether it was Zhou Yi who poisoned him was not important; what mattered was that his response aligned with His Majesty's wishes. A misstep could mean losing imperial favor.

After only pondering for the time it takes to take three breaths, Eunuch Yuan had an answer and said in a high-pitched voice,

"Your Majesty, I believe Eunuch Yi is certainly a suspect. Anyone who poses the slightest threat to Your Majesty should be eliminated rather than ignored!"

The Orthodox Emperor nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the answer.
