When Qiann Yan returned, Ashui had already cooked the fragrant food, but only prepared portions for himself and Qiann Yan.
The Wu siblings were long accustomed to leaving the emperor's rewards of various gold, silver, and silk in Qiann Yan's room before withdrawing.
Ashui stared at the pile of items in a daze.
Qiann Yan ate the food and, seeing Ashui's dazed expression, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Did all the assassins leave survivors?" Ashui asked curiously. He knew that Qiann Yan had limitless means, and if she delivered the living assassins to the emperor's doorstep, that would be very interesting indeed.
Qiann Yan said matter-of-factly, "Naturally alive; sending the dead serves no purpose."
Chen Country repeatedly stirred up trouble, attempting to disturb the peace of Great Zhou, and unwittingly fell into her hands. How could she possibly let them off easily?
