The jailer said impatiently, "Eat your food. General Guo doesn't have time to see you."

After saying that, he left, cursing and swearing.

Zuan looked down at the rice in his bowl and fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, General Guo Zhi of the Right Guard arrived with a group of people: "Brother Zu, Lord Zongzheng and the others want to interrogate you."

Zuan lay motionless in his cell.

Guo Zhi called out several times but received no response. His expression changed: "Something's happened!"

He hurriedly opened the cell door and rushed to Zu An's side. Seeing that Zu An's face was covered in bruises, he shouted, "He's been poisoned! Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"

The jailers rushed out, while Guo Zhi hurriedly used his internal energy to try and force the poison out of Zu An.

At this moment, Zhen Xueyi, Jiang Boyang, Murong Tong, and several others also rushed over upon hearing the news:

"What happened?"

"Zu'an was poisoned?"

"What are you all good for?!"

...

The voices of three old men, filled with shock and anger, rang out.

At this moment, Zuan, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sat up: "I'm fine."

"Huh?" Guo Zhi looked bewildered. Wasn't this guy just on the verge of death?

Zu An smiled apologetically at him: "Thank you for saving me, Brother Guo. I had no choice but to do so just now."

He had been suspicious when he saw the unfamiliar jailer. After the incident of rescuing the demonic sect assassin, he knew almost all the jailers in the prison. They had been chatting and joking around together recently, and their relationship was quite good.

Even if a new prison guard does arrive, it's impossible for such an important prisoner as myself to be escorted by a newcomer.

That person definitely has a problem!

Zuan's first reaction was that someone wanted to silence him, but he wasn't sure who it was.

The biggest suspect is actually Guo Zhi, since the prison is his territory and no one is more suitable to take action than him.

So he didn't dare to make a fuss at the time and could only pretend to be poisoned.

When Guo Zhi entered, he was already on high alert, in case Guo Zhi saw that he was still alive and tried to finish him off.

When the other party was forcing the poison out of him, he secretly activated the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Technique. If Guo Zhi's true energy was about to harm him, he would immediately absorb all of the other party's power. However, he did not expect that the other party's true energy was righteous and peaceful, and it was indeed forcing the poison out of him.

Even so, he dared not be careless and only got up after Jiang Boyang and the others arrived.

He can't trust anyone now, but Jiang Boyang is relatively more trustworthy, after all, he has the connection with the beautiful principal.

Of course, he wouldn't completely trust the other party just because of this. The main reason was that these three ministers represented various forces, and they checked and balanced each other, so no one could make a move.

Murong Tong frowned immediately: "Zu An, what are you up to?"

Zuan sighed and pointed to the bowl of rice buried in the straw pile in the corner: "Someone wanted to poison me."
