The eunuch assassin was unable to move, so he wanted to ask the assassin dressed as a palace maid to kill Tian An.
But before he could finish his words, he heard a loud bang from behind him, and the assassin dressed as a palace maid fell to the ground with her sword.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you, I put a knockout drug in the scalpel he just caught, and it's taking effect right now."
Seeing that the assassin looked confused, Tian An kindly helped him to clear up his confusion.
"Shameless! I didn't expect that you, a dignified local leader, would resort to such despicable means." The assassin yelled in anger, speaking without thinking.
Tian An was amused by him and snorted coldly, "You can take advantage of the situation and plot to assassinate the dying queen, and you still have the nerve to call me shameless."
"As an assassin, you're incompetent and failed the mission, but you still have the nerve to blame others for not standing still and letting you kill them. Do you think the people you come to know you have such audacity?"
"This is your first mission, right? No wonder you don't have much experience. It's a shame you didn't get the chance to practice."
"Are all you assassins only capable of wielding broadswords? That's too inconvenient!"
…
Tian An, who had been frightened all night, turned into a complete chatterbox at this time, pointing and commenting on the two assassins.
Because she felt tired of talking while standing, she moved a chair over and sat down to continue talking.
The assassin's face turned black after hearing what she said. He wanted to hit her! His hands and feet were limp and he couldn't move. He wanted her to shut up! The more you talked, the more excited she became. In the end, he had no choice but to plug his ears.
Seeing him covering his ears, Tian An became even angrier. "How rude of you! You didn't hear me talking! And you covered your ears. No wonder you were such a failure as an assassin."
The assassin could no longer bear it, "I failed as an assassin, what does it have to do with Guan covering his ears?"
"How can it be okay? You must have ignored the coach's advice during training, which is why you failed on your first try."
"So if you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you'll suffer the consequences. This is a bloody lesson!"
Tian An continued to talk until the assassin could no longer withstand the effects of the knockout drug and lay on the ground in a gorgeous manner.
Looking at the two assassins lying on the ground, Tian An covered his mouth and yawned, "I'm so sleepy! Why haven't the rescuers come yet? Are the palace guards really that bad?"
Tian An had just finished complaining when he finally heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from outside.
Then the prince came running in anxiously with a group of guards.
"Mother..."
Seeing two people lying on the ground, the prince was obviously stunned for a moment. He subconsciously asked Tian An, the only one still standing, "Who are they?"
"Assassins." Tian An couldn't help but yawn, then realized what was happening. He pretended to be scared and said, "Brother Crown Prince, why did you come just now? Just now, these two assassins suddenly broke in, holding knives and trying to kill the Queen and me. We almost died. I was scared to death."
The prince looked at Tian An's exaggerated performance and twitched his mouth. Why didn't he feel that this girl was afraid? If she could hold back that yawn just now, it would seem more credible.
However, seeing that Tian An was still standing there well, he finally felt relieved.
He was confident that as long as Tian An was still standing, nothing would happen to the queen.
Seeing that Tian An was fine, the prince first went to see the queen in person and asked Tian An about her condition before starting to deal with the mess caused by the assassin.
The two assassins had already been apprehended by the guards and taken away for questioning. The palace quickly reassigned the caretakers and guards.
But the palace maids and imperial doctors lying all over the palace gave him a headache.
Tian An kindly helped him check and confirmed that the palace maids and imperial doctors had just fainted after drinking tea mixed with sleeping pills and their lives were not in any danger.
"Is there any medicine that can wake them up?" The prince frowned after hearing Tian An's diagnosis.
The palace maids were fine, especially the imperial physicians. The Empress was still in a critical moment and needed an imperial physician to watch over her at all times.
The imperial doctors who can come here have all been screened by the emperor and the prince. They don’t trust others and cannot find replacements for the time being.
Tian An had already been guarding for a whole night and was frightened by the assassin. She needed rest the most at this moment and could not be allowed to endure it any longer.
Tian An did have medicine that could make the imperial doctors wake up immediately, but when she looked at the imperial doctors who were sleeping soundly because of the drug, with dark circles under their eyes and so old, she felt pity for them.
"Even if they take the antidote, it will take two or three hours for them to wake up. By then, the effect of the drug will have mostly worn off, and they will wake up on their own. There's no need to take the antidote."
Seeing the exhausted face of the Crown Prince and worried about the Queen, Tian An thought for a moment and said, "The Queen's condition has stabilized. If nothing unexpected happens, she will wake up at noon. Cousin Crown Prince, don't worry too much.
If you're worried, I'll stay here until the doctors wake up."
"That's all we can do. I'm sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law."
The prince nodded helplessly. Although Tian An said that the queen's condition had stabilized, he still couldn't feel at ease without someone who knew medicine to watch over her.
After staying with Tian An for a while, he asked the palace servants to bring breakfast. However, the prince was hurriedly called away by the guards before he had eaten half of his meal.
Tian An took a quick glance and saw that the prince looked very serious. He wisely asked nothing and continued to finish the rest of his breakfast without being affected.
After eating and drinking, Tian An checked on the queen's condition from time to time and read the medical notes of Doctor Wei.
However, when the imperial doctors woke up at noon, they finished reading the entire thick notebook.
When the imperial doctors woke up and learned about what happened last night, they were also frightened.
