Chapter 493 How Am I a Devil?
Wan Jiaojiao immediately nodded and replied, "We set off today, and by our calculations, we should be back by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay."
Li Chen's mood had improved considerably, and he said, "Later, you go to the palace and buy a hairpin for her. Keep it simple; she doesn't like anything too flashy. Then, decorate her Ba Hua Dian according to her usual preferences. Also, instruct the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes that she likes. I will personally welcome her back."
Wan Jiaojiao wrote it down one by one, and softly said: "I see...... The Crown Prince is really good to the Crown Princess."
Li Chen glanced at Wan Jiaojiao and said, "This is all I can give her. Are you jealous?"
Wàn Jiāojiāo's pretty face flushed slightly, she hurriedly denied and said: "No, it's not. I just envy the Crown Princess."
"Buy two hairpins, and I'll give you one free. Choose the ones you like."
Wan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and softly said, "The servant girl thanks His Royal Highness."
She mouthed her thanks, but there wasn't much joy in her heart.
It doesn't make sense to ask the daughter-in-law's family to buy gifts and then claim it as a favor. How can this compare to the honors bestowed upon imperial consorts?
......
Ministry of Justice.
At the deepest part of the prison, Zhou Ping'an walked in with measured steps, followed by Sanbao.
All those imprisoned here are repeat offenders, and in the deepest part of the prison, over twenty inmates are held. They are subjected to the harshest torture every day, not to extract any information from them, but simply for the purpose of tormenting them.
Therefore, the laments here are almost ceaseless, day and night.
When these disciples of the White Lotus sect saw Zhou Ping'an arrive, each and every one of their eyes revealed unparalleled fear and hatred.

These days, the methods used to torment them, which drove them to the brink of insanity, were almost entirely the work of Zhou Ping'an.
Some people hate him, but more people are afraid of him.
Zhou Ping'an, with a calm face, came to the cell and saw the man lying on the ground inside, covered in blood and looking wilted.
"This person is the Grand Marshal of the White Lotus Sect in the Jiangzhe region, considered one of the high-ranking officials. He is the highest-ranking individual captured this time."
Zhou Ping'an introduced softly, as if showing off his treasure to a companion.
He's tough-mouthed and skilled, I like people like that because when you torture them, you don't have to worry about them dying suddenly.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener intends it.
As the factory head of the Dongchang, Sibaobao had used all sorts of cruel and ruthless methods. Yet, seeing Zhou Ping'an so entranced still sent a shiver down his spine.
"Lord Zhou is truly a master of torture. In the future, if I have time, I'll visit your Dongchang and teach those little brats a thing or two." Sanbao said in a yinuous tone.
Zhou Ping'an smiled slightly and said, "These people were all captured by the Dongchang. Although the Dongchang's methods of punishment are cruel, they aren't poisonous. If I had the time, I would really like to go there."
"With that, Zhou Ping'an waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward to open the door."
Zhou Ping'an just strode in so nonchalantly.
The man on the ground heard the noise and managed to open his eyelids.
When he saw Zhou Ping'an, he let out a howl. He was still a master, but at this moment, he was acting like he had seen a ghost, frantically retreating and shouting at Zhou Ping'an: "Devil! You are a devil! Don't come any closer!"
Zhou Ping'an said gently, "Look at me, I am clearly a person, how could I be a devil?"
