Fourth Master chuckled, "Ming Guipin is quite curious, so I, too, am willing to hear you out. I have even thought about whether I could use you."
He Sanniang was truly shocked this time, yet she still remembered her original intention, "The Emperor's kindness, I am truly grateful for it. However, that is not my aim."
Fourth Master stood up and walked towards the window, "Divine Doctor Ning."
"I advise you not to inquire any further. Divine Doctor Ning... I can only tell you that he died by suicide. Not only did he take his own life, he even framed someone else for it. And his death is far from being that simple. If you are willing to stop here and let these matters rot in your belly, I can spare your life, as well as that of your foster son."
"Is it because I am of use to you that Your Majesty spares me?" He Sanniang bit her lip.
"I initially disdain to make use of you. However..." However, Zaozao was so interested. And indeed, they were not villains beyond redemption.
