For a man, losing his dignity as a man was definitely more painful than being killed.
Shadow, who had endured countless torture, actually cried out when he was castrated.
He thought that the worst result would be him being silenced, but he didn't expect the other party to be so insidious. They actually came up with the idea of castrating him.
After being castrated, Shadow's whole body withered in an instant, and his face became distorted and ferocious because of hatred.
However, the torture he thought was over didn't leave, but instead became more and more intense. Because he heard the other party ask him if he should confess or watch them kill Lin Xiao with his own eyes.
Shadow has been castrated, so it can be said that the child in Lin Xiao's belly is his last bloodline in this world. Moreover, if he says it, he can still live.
In front of Shadow, the balance in his heart has already begun to tilt.
If it was before, Shadow would definitely choose to keep it a secret without hesitation, but now, for the first time, Shadow hesitated.
He has been caught, whether he says it or not, he can't live.
But now, there is one more way in front of him, as long as he says it, he can live.
Moreover, he can also keep his bloodline.
For the first time, Shadow hesitated.
He struggled for the first half of his life for his master, but this time, he inexplicably wants to keep his bloodline.
Shadow, who has been tortured both physically and mentally, didn't struggle too much and told all the things he knows.
The little prince thought that behind Shadow must be the power of the vassals.
But what he didn't expect was that the person behind Shadow was actually the Regent.
The Regent is the emperor's biological brother, otherwise the late emperor wouldn't have asked him to be the Regent and support the emperor until he reached adulthood.
As for the Prince Regent, he was not greedy for power at all. After the Emperor came of age, he gave all the power in his hands to the Emperor. From then on, he retired and became an idle prince who only admired flowers and played with birds every day.
In today's court, when the Regent is mentioned, there is no one who doesn't praise him.
But now, Shadow told them that his master is the Regent, and the Regent wants to usurp the throne. The little prince who always thought that the Regent is just like what he looks like on the surface was completely subverted.
Because the matter was too outrageous, the young prince presented all the evidence he had gathered to the emperor that very night.
The little prince and His Majesty spent the entire night in Heaven and Earth Pavilion, and An Ying was released the next day.
Lin Xiao also left with An Ying.
Shadow was afraid that he would be discovered by the Regent's men, so he disfigured half of his handsome face. Half of his face was covered with scars, which made him look ferocious during the day, but at night, he really looked like an evil spirit descending upon the world.
As for Lin Xiao, because of the past few days of anxiety and fear, her face was haggard, and she seemed to have aged more than ten years. Even without any disguise, no one would be able to guess that she was Lin Xiao, the former chef of Spring Wind House.
After Lin Xiao and An Ying left the capital, the little prince didn't allow anyone to continue watching.
However, the little prince was still very curious. Would An Ying and Lin Xiao be happy in the future?
Logically speaking, even though Shadow's body had been damaged by these tortures, but his skills were still there. It shouldn't be a problem for him to feed his family.
As for Lin Xiao, she had excellent culinary skills. No matter where she opened a restaurant, she would be able to eat well.
So, they should be happy, right?
In response to the little prince's words, Jiujiu said bluntly, "No, they won't."
At first glance, the relationship between Lin Xiao and An Ying looked very good. An Ying gave up his dignity as a man and his sincerity to his master for Lin Xiao. And when An Ying's face was disfigured, Lin Xiao was still willing to leave the capital with him. Perhaps the two of them would cherish each other because of their flaws in the beginning.
However, with An Ying's castration and disfigurement, based on Jiujiu's understanding of Lin Xiao, she could be blinded by love for a short period of time, but in the long run, she would probably start to get tired of it.
As for An Ying, he could have lived a life of luxury, but because of Lin Xiao, he fell into such a plight. After a long time, the two of them would get tired of each other, and at that time, it would be the beginning of all the pain.
Right now, An Ying felt that Lin Xiao was his true love, but a man's true love was originally more ethereal. With all kinds of conflicts in his life, An Ying would feel that it wasn't worth it.
Right now, Lin Xiao felt that An Ying was very good, but after a long time of wandering, Lin Xiao, who liked a stable life, would probably be dissatisfied.
Jiujiu didn't have high hopes for their future.
Moreover, because An Ying had been castrated, he hoped that the child in Lin Xiao's belly was a boy so that he could inherit his bloodline.
However, Jiujiu knew very well that the child in Lin Xiao's belly was a girl.
If his hopes were dashed and he betrayed his master for the sake of the girl in Lin Xiao's belly, An Ying would probably go crazy.
At that time, Lin Xiao would no longer be An Ying's favorite, but a thorn in his flesh.
Jiujiu chuckled.
An Ying killed Li Qian, so she let him have a taste of what it meant to be worse than death.
Lin Xiao didn't do anything, but she helped Lin Guangye bully Li Qian because of her poor cooking skills. She didn't help Li Qian when she was in danger. If she had said something to stop An Ying, An Ying wouldn't have killed her so easily.
Lin Xiao didn't kill Li Qian directly, but indirectly, she killed Li Qian. Therefore, she had to bear all these.
Knowing that An Ying and Lin Xiao wouldn't have a good life in the future, Jiujiu stopped paying attention to them.
As for the regent mentioned by An Ying, the Emperor and the young prince discussed for a while and soon came up with a specific solution.
In the third month of Jiujiu and Wang Cuilian's comfortable life, the regent plotted to usurp the throne. The evidence was conclusive, so he was directly put under house arrest.
Of course, this house arrest was because of the regent's education to the Emperor.
But both the Emperor and the regent knew that after a while, what awaited the regent was a cup of poisonous wine.
The regent knew the result, so he hanged himself on the second day of his house arrest.
After the regent's death, all the meritorious officials were rewarded according to their merits. Jiujiu, who saved the Emperor's life, discovered An Ying, and gave the young prince advice, naturally got the most credit.
The Emperor knew that Jiujiu wouldn't accept his request to marry her as an imperial concubine, so he decided to make Jiujiu a royal princess if they couldn't be husband and wife.
After Jiujiu became a royal princess, Zuichun Lou opened again. But this time, other than the fixed few people, Jiujiu didn't cook.
However, with Jiujiu's reputation, Zuichun Lou was still bustling with people coming and going.
And the regulars of Zuichun Lou were the young prince and the Emperor.
