"Tian An, you vicious woman, you actually want to harm me. You are so vicious. I must tell my father your true face and let him chop off your head..." When Yonglin heard that Tian An dared not to save her, she was angry and scared, and could only keep shouting loudly.
Unfortunately, all she screamed and wailed was met with a cold remark from Tian An: "It's a pity you're going to die. You don't have a chance anymore."
After saying that, she looked at the woman excitedly and said, "Auntie, please do it quickly! I have long disliked Yonglin, that damn girl. Now that you can help me get rid of this scourge, I can't thank you enough."
Seeing Tian An's attitude, the woman looked at Yonglin in front of her and hesitated. She didn't know whether to kill him or let him go.
Seeing the woman in a dilemma, Tian An urged her again, "Auntie, hurry up! If you are any slower, the soldiers will come and you will have no chance."
When the woman heard this, she immediately became flustered, and the sword across Yonglin's neck even tilted a little.
Seeing this, Tian An took the crossbow from the secret guard and pointed it at Yonglin, "If you don't kill him, I will do it for you."
After saying that, he put his finger on the trigger, and before Yonglin and the woman could react, the crossbow arrow was fired at lightning speed.
"Ah...ah..." Seeing Tian An really shooting an arrow at him, Yonglin was almost scared to death. He closed his eyes and screamed at the top of his lungs.
But after waiting for a long time, the expected pain did not come. She paused, and before she opened her eyes, she heard a muffled groan from beside her.
The next second, the female assassin who kidnapped her was stabbed in the chest and fell straight back with a muffled sound.
Although Yonglin appears to be quite arrogant, he is actually very timid. When she saw the female assassin falling to the ground with her eyes wide open, she was so scared that she screamed even louder than when she thought Tian An was pointing a crossbow at her.
Tian An angrily shouted, "Shut up, idiot. What are you standing there for? Be careful, she's not dead yet, she'll get up and stab you, and drag you down with her."
Yonglin was so frightened that he immediately fell silent and hurriedly ran towards Tian An.
But when he saw the crossbow in Tian An's hand, he was frightened and subconsciously moved away from her.
The guard stepped forward and checked the woman's breath, confirming that she was dead, and then came to report to Tian An.
Tian An threw the crossbow in his hand back to the secret guard. Just as he was about to order the guards to send the body to the Ministry of Justice, he saw Zhao Yiming and the prince rushing over anxiously on horseback.
"An An, how are you?" Zhao Yiming noticed Tian An's arm wrapped in gauze at a glance.
As soon as he got off the horse, he ran over quickly with a pale face, "Is your injury serious? Does your stomach hurt? I'll take you to see the imperial physician right away." As he said that, he bent down and picked up Tian An.
Seeing the prince coming, Yonglin immediately ran behind him. With the prince's presence, she became bolder and immediately pointed at Tian An and said, "She is full of energy. She was pointing a crossbow at me just now! She doesn't need to see a doctor."
Seeing Yonglin talking nonsense, Deng Xue immediately defended Tian An, "Madam, you just did that to save the princess. If the princess doesn't appreciate it, then forget it, but how can you slander my wife like this." As she spoke, she quickly explained what happened from beginning to end.
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately scolded Yonglin to apologize and thank Tian An.
Although Yonglin felt aggrieved, he also knew that it was Tian An who saved him, and with the prince watching him, he could only apologize and thank him reluctantly.
Seeing that she had a bad attitude, the prince refused to tolerate her at all and ordered her to prepare generous gifts and come to his house in person.
Tian An nestled in Zhao Yiming's arms. Seeing Yonglin being scolded like a quail by the prince, she felt inexplicably good-humored and laughed out loud, which made Yonglin glare at her, almost popping his eyes out.
Only after Tian An repeatedly assured her that she was only slightly injured did Zhao Yiming agree to let her go.
As soon as she landed, she pointed at the female assassin on the ground and said, "Since you are here, the body will be left to you."
Then he looked at the boy still lying on the ground, "Just now I only had time to seal his acupuncture points with silver needles to temporarily immobilize him. The effect of the silver needles is almost gone now. Hurry and send someone to tie him up."
As soon as Tian An said this, without waiting for the prince to say anything, his secret guards quickly stepped forward and tied the man up.
Seeing the man tied up, Tian An asked Deng Xue to go forward and retrieve the silver needle from the boy. "This silver needle is not easy to get. Don't waste it."
The prince and Zhao Yiming were already tracking the dwarf, and when they saw this, they turned their heads to look at the boy.
He frowned when he saw this, "Why not?"
"Nothing?" Tian An looked confused. She had just controlled the child in the first place just because of the female assassin and thought that the two were accomplices.
Zhao Yiming glanced at the prince, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he whispered in Tian An's ear about the dwarf's escape from prison.
Seeing this, Yonglin also pestered the prince to tell her, but unfortunately, the prince glared at her and she could only stand aside with her neck shrunk.
Seeing her being humiliated, Tian An made a childish face at her before walking towards the boy. Yonglin was so angry that she opened her mouth but didn't dare to curse, feeling very aggrieved.
The boy was able to move when Deng Xue pulled out the silver needle from his body, but unfortunately he was tied up by the secret guards and could only stare with his eyes wide open, allowing Tian An to do whatever he wanted to him.
Yonglin was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw it. She put her hands on her hips and scolded Tian An for being shameless. "Cousin Mingyu, she is not a good wife. She dared to touch other men in front of you, and I don't know how she is fickle behind your back. You should divorce her and throw her into the sinking pond. She..."
"Yonglin, shut up." Before Yonglin could finish her words, the prince interrupted her.
Yonglin refused to accept it and stiffened his neck to question the prince: "Brother Prince, why do you always help her? It's obviously her fault this time!"
"Sister-in-law is helping us investigate the case. If you don't understand, just shut up."
The prince explained, then turned around and asked the secret guard to send her back to the Jiang family. Before leaving, he warned her, "Today's matter is of great importance. If you let out a single word, even if you are a princess, you will be guilty as a commoner."
After Yonglin left, Tian An withdrew his hand from the boy, turned around, took out a bottle of transparent liquid from his bag and sprayed it on the boy's face a few times. Then he asked the secret guard to rub it hard and told someone to fetch water.
After a while, the secret guard rubbed a layer of mud on the boy's face. After a bucket of clean water was poured on it, his face immediately changed. It was none other than the dwarf who had escaped from prison earlier.
"But he's obviously smaller than before! Even if his face can change, what's wrong with his body?" Zhao Yiming frowned.
Tian An subconsciously crossed his arms over his chest and said with an unfathomable look on his face, "Could this be the legendary bone-shrinking skill?"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince and Zhao Yiming were both stunned, "Is there really such a skill?"
Tian An nodded, "Of course there is, but this is the first time I've seen it, so I'm not sure if it's bone-shrinking skill or not."
After saying that, she looked at the dwarf with an expression as if she were looking at something rare. "Tsk tsk, you have so many treasures on you. You're a dwarf, and you have such amazing martial arts skills, and you have a disguise that's so convincing it's hard to tell the difference. It's a pity you went astray, otherwise you would have been a talented spy."
