Time slowly passed. When the last ashes fell, Zhan Xiaolou's eyes suddenly opened. Before Sanlang could even react, the silver needles on his tongue and head had already been removed.

Before Saburo could even close his mouth, Lou Cheng popped a pill into his mouth.

He then slapped Saburo's back with his palm, and the pill slid down his throat and into his abdomen.

Liu Cuihua quickly took out a jujube from the food box and gave it to Sanlang.

"Sanlang, quick, try it. What's the taste?"

Sanlang was extremely excited as well. He carefully picked up the jujube, as if it was the most precious delicacy in the world. Then, he slowly put it into his mouth and slowly chewed it.

However, even after chewing and swallowing, he still couldn't taste anything.

The light in Sanlang's eyes gradually faded as tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at Liu Cuihua.

"Cui Hua, what's the taste of this honey date?"

Liu Cuihua's smile froze, and then completely disappeared. How could she say that? It was just dates, so naturally they were sweet. Very, very sweet.

"Fight … Little … Tower!" Liu Cuihua enunciated each word through gritted teeth, her eyes turning red as she looked at Zhan Xiaolou.

If she couldn't cure him, why did she agree? Why did she say that she could cure him? This gave her and Sanlang no hope. This was more painful than knowing that Sanlang couldn't cure him.

Sanlang grabbed Liu Cuihua's tightly clenched fist and shook his head. For the first time, he said gently: "Cui Hua, it's fine, it's fine. You should have known this long ago. Don't be angry."

Zhan Xiaolou couldn't help but roll his eyes at the two of them.

"I say, why are you guys in such a hurry?!" What's the rush! The pill had just been given to him to consume. At the very least, there should be time to digest it! "Wait a day, we'll eat at this time tomorrow."

Hearing Zhan Xiaolou's words, Liu Cuihua's expression finally eased up.

"Is that true?"

"Heh." Zhan Xiaolou smiled. "Didn't you say you believed me? Since you believe me, then do. Why do you keep asking me? "Besides, if I still can't get a conviction when I get promoted next time, I'll be released. I don't need you to help me, I'm just trying to be kind as a doctor."

"Hahaha." Liu Cuihua laughed a few times, "Your words are not bad, but you still made an exchange with me. There must be another reason, you and I are not idiots."

Zhan Xiaolou didn't say anything more. Indeed, if she didn't have evidence of being charged during her next promotion, she would be acquitted.

But before that? If Liu Cuihua used torture on her and forced her to sign her own charge, it would mean that she had turned herself in.

So now she had to stabilize Liu Cuihua, even though Liu Cuihua was a righteous person, she did not dare to take this gamble.

Liu Cuihua approached Zhan Xiaolou, her eyes darkened, and she slowly said: "Let me tell you something, actually, I already received the County Governor's order yesterday, so no matter what you do today, you must confess, in order to pacify the people, you are not a member of my Azure Sea Kingdom, your life and death is not at stake."

"What about now?" In fact, her back was already wet with sweat, and she still had some lingering fear.

"Now …" Liu Cuihua helped Sanlang up and walked out, "Let's see how it turns out tomorrow!"

If Saburo didn't recover his sense of smell tomorrow, Zhan Xiaolou would be the killer!

When they left, Zhan Xiaolou finally wiped the sweat off his forehead and took a deep breath. He would be able to leave this place tomorrow.
