The Lord Ruler is overconfident enough that he wouldn't care if Yellow did. Besides, Yellow is no longer his main concern.
"I'm going to need you to do the same thing," he tells his minion. He pulls the spike out of Yellow's leg and offers it to the man next to him, who does get the Allomantic anesthesia. With the Lord Ruler burning zinc and brass, spiking himself is the most pleasure this minion has ever experienced. That probably won't have any long-term effects on his brain. Alendi takes the spike himself next, and checks that the piece of copper does indeed contain two copies each of his name, Promise's, and the fact that he knows her name.
They leave Yellow sobbing in his cell, and Alendi goes upstairs alone. He knocks on Promise's door.
