She also had the same question. Before this, she had imagined countless images of him being tortured.

"Emperor Father, this is clearly a scheme that those people came up with!" Xie Rui was wondering why those people were so kind and prepared so much food for him every day. So they were planning for his comeuppance here!
"Conspiracy? I want to know how kind the person who abducted you was to raise you until you became so fat!"
Xie Rui's words were no longer convincing to Emperor Zhao Heng.
Now, Emperor Zhao Heng was certain that they had taken all three parts of the iron-smelting technique. Even if they did it to save someone, it was still unforgivable to Emperor Zhao Heng.
