He originally wanted to take the tray from the palace maid, but the palace maid gave way and let Tian An take her hand.
But the touch on his hand made Tian An stunned.
Although the maid had her head lowered, judging by her voice, figure, and attire, she was clearly a young woman. But the skin on her hands told a different story.
Not to mention the roughness, the hands of the palace maids who did the rough work were also rough, but their skin was soft. However, the skin of the hands she touched was obviously much harder than that of an ordinary woman.
Moreover, the skeleton of this hand seems to be larger, and in comparison, it looks more like a man's hand.
Therefore, this is not a palace maid at all, but a woman disguised as a man as an assassin.
Realizing that the other person might be a man, Tian An almost subconsciously took the initiative and attacked the assassin.
She took advantage of the assassin's lack of reaction and grabbed his hand. She used a backhand to make him lose his balance, then raised her leg and gave him a spinning kick in the head.
After some operations, the assassin dressed as a palace maid was actually knocked to the ground by her.
Tian An was very aware of his own strength and did not dare to be arrogant. While the assassin was being knocked to the ground, he hurriedly shouted outside, "There is an assassin, come and protect me..."
However, until the assassin spat out a mouthful of blood wrapped around his teeth on the ground and stood up slowly, there was no sound of guards outside.
Even the imperial doctors sleeping on the floor in the outer hall stopped making any noise. For a moment, the entire bedroom was so quiet that it seemed as if Tian An was the only one left.
No matter how slow he was, Tian An realized the seriousness of the matter at this time.
"Why didn't the county lord yell? Hurry up and send someone to protect you!"
Just when Tian An was thinking about how to save herself, the assassin stood up arrogantly and provoked her.
The originally delicate voice of the palace maid has now returned to a normal male voice.
"Someone come and protect me quickly..." Tian An actually listened to him and shouted loudly to the outside.
Although she knew it might be useless, shouting like that made her less nervous.
I thought there was no one outside at this time, but I didn't expect that Tian An actually called someone over.
But this person doesn't seem to be here to protect the emperor, but...
Suddenly, a man dressed as a eunuch ran in hurriedly from the outer hall.
The man saw the assassin dressed as a palace maid still confronting Tian An and frowned, "Why haven't you made a move yet?"
"It's a delay, let's get started now..." the assassin dressed as a palace maid said casually.
His tone was so casual that he didn't take Tian An, a living person, seriously at all. Although he had just been tricked by Tian An, he still believed that it was just a coincidence. After all, he didn't look like a master at all.
The eunuch assassin pointed at Tian An impatiently and said, "Forget it, you deal with her, and I'll deal with the queen." As he said that, he was about to walk towards the inner hall.
Tian An looked at the two assassins who were in the queen's bedroom as if they were in an empty place, and he felt anxious and scared.
Just walk away! The Queen is still lying in there! You can't really let them assassinate the Queen in front of you, not to mention that they obviously don't intend to let her go.
The two men were obviously martial artists, with a huge disparity in strength. Deng Xue was not around, and Tian An didn't think he had the ability to escape from under their noses with just his two fancy moves.
Watching the assassin approaching step by step, Tian An gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she looked behind the two assassins and said happily, "Your Majesty, you are finally here."
The assassin was stunned and turned around to look.
Tian An quickly took advantage of this opportunity to retrieve two scalpels from the space and threw them at the assassin.
Unfortunately, the assassin dressed as a eunuch reacted quickly and dodged her scalpel with just a slight turn of his head. The assassin dressed as a palace maid reacted slower, but also caught the scalpel with her bare hands and was not hurt at all.
He even boasted to Tian An while holding a scalpel in his hand, "Do you think you can hurt us with such a small trick?"
Tian An felt relieved when he saw him holding the scalpel he had thrown out.
In a hurry, she only had time to apply a little knockout drug on the scalpel. She was afraid that the other party would find out, so the dosage was not large.
Now he was holding the medicated scalpel, and his hands were stained with Tian An's special-effect knockout drug. He only needed to delay for a moment for the drug to take effect.
"Can't you hurt me? Look at the knife!" In order to delay time, Tian An took out a scalpel from his bag without any skill and threw it at the two assassins.
Although the assassin was confident in his skills, he could not withstand Tian An's chaotic dart attack.
"What the hell is that? It hasn't even reached my feet! Hahaha! You call this a dart!"
"Oh my god, it almost cut off my head."
"I said, can't you just throw it properly?"
Tian An threw the scalpel again and again, but it fell to the ground because it lacked strength before it reached halfway. When the assassins thought she couldn't throw it and relaxed their guard, she suddenly struck them with a quick, accurate and ruthless blow, almost breaking their defense and making them lose their temper.
Finally, the assassin dressed as a eunuch became annoyed and no longer cared about Tian An's bluffing. He strode towards Tian An regardless of anything.
Tian An took two steps back, and when the opportunity arose, he pulled out a scalpel from his bag and threw it at him.
The scalpel he threw this time was truly exceptional in terms of power, speed, and skill. It didn't seem like something a rookie could throw.
After the assassin successfully dodged three scalpels, he was still cut on the face by the fourth scalpel.
Wiping the blood from his face, the assassin said in disbelief, "Are you pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"
Tian An played with the scalpel in his hand. "After all, I've been learning for a while, so I can throw a dart. Thank you for letting me do that."
The assassin taunted him, "Unfortunately, even if you can throw darts, it's useless. I can't let you leave here alive today."
"Really? If being able to throw darts is useless, then what about being able to poison?"
As Tian An spoke, he took out a small paper bag from his bag and waved it in front of the assassin, his expression even more arrogant than that of the assassin dressed as a palace maid.
"You, you actually dared to bring poison into the palace!"
Tian An curled his lips and smiled like he deserved to be slapped. "What are you afraid of? No one else knows about it except you."
He raised the paper bag in his hand again and said, "Besides, you were poisoned by me."
"Humph! I didn't expect that I would capsize in the gutter today. In this case, I will make sure you die before me no matter what."
The eunuch disguised as an assassin was about to draw his sword and chop off Tian An's head.
Tian An was fearless this time, and just stood there with a smile waiting for the assassin to come.
Poor assassin, he seemed to be under a spell at this moment, and he couldn't take another step forward despite trying to lift his feet several times.
