In the palace, Chen An was lying on a chair with a relaxed look on his face, living a very comfortable life.
There's no sign of injury at all.
At this time, the seventh elder Yuan Xiu came back from outside with a man and a woman.
Yuan Xiu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, these two tried to escape, but I brought them back."
Chen An raised his eyelids, looked at the woman, and asked curiously, "Why are you running?"
This man and woman were Yu Li and Fu Yu, who assassinated Chen An in public outside the north gate.
Yu Li looked at Chen An with resentment, and her heart was even more complicated.
This kid Chen An actually made unreasonable demands on her and asked her to stab him.
This request scared Yu Li, and she thought Chen An was going to take the opportunity to kill her!
So much so that when she saw Chen An fall down after stabbing her lightly...
At that moment, Yu Li was really shocked and panicked. This guy's acting was too exaggerated. She even felt that his dagger didn't even pierce Chen An's skin.
I don’t know where the blood came from, but it was flowing out violently.
Originally, regardless of whether Chen An was really injured or pretending to be injured, she had made the move to assassinate him.
She simply wanted to leave with Fu Yu while Chen An was busy with his own affairs. She believed that the adults in the Dragon Palace would be willing to listen to her explanation.
Unexpectedly, Yu Li and Fu Yu thought they had escaped!
But when they turned around, they found that a little old man in purple robes, with a group of soldiers and generals, equipped with bows and crossbows, had captured them.
At this moment, Yu Li could see clearly that Chen An didn't look injured at all. It was obvious that he was pretending to be injured.
Holding back her anger, Yu Li smiled bitterly and said, "Please be merciful and let us go. We are... of little use to you, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Chen An nodded in agreement: "That's right, well said, you really are of little use!"
Yu Li's eyes showed surprise: "Your Majesty is willing to let us go?"
Chen An said seriously: "It's not very useful, so naturally, we should kill him if we have to!"
“…” Yu Li’s surprise was instantly filled with depression.
Yu Li smiled bitterly and said, "We are still somewhat useful. At least if someone from the Dragon Palace comes, we can help you identify them."
Chen An's mouth curled up: "You two will be spending a few days in prison. The crime is, of course, assassinating me!"
Yu Li felt panicky when the prison was mentioned. She definitely didn't want to go to that place for the third time!
"Also, don't talk nonsense, otherwise, you might really end up in prison!" Chen An's eyes were dim.
Yu Li felt bitter in his mouth, but he had no choice but to nod.
On the other hand, Buyeo next to him looked energetic, but also seemed a little silly.
"Yu Li, what are we going to do?"
Yu Li glanced at Fu Yu and said, "We are now changing our strategy to get closer to our target."
"Oh... I understand. You just want to make friends with him, and then... stab him in the back?" Fu Yu suddenly became excited.
He looked at Chen An with shining eyes, and his expression was full of excitement and great interest.
Chen An was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Yu Li, pointed at Fuyu, and then pointed at his head.
Yu Li said in a complicated tone: "Fuyu people are born with pure childlike innocence, but just listen to me."
Chen An was stunned. Could this be the rumored immature person who never grows up?
At this moment, Xie Huayu walked in from outside and knelt down to salute Chen An:
"Your Majesty, Anfu asked me to come to you and tell you that the Minister of War wants to see you."
"He is seriously injured and I can't see you!" Chen An waved his hand directly.
At this moment, Yu Li couldn't help but look at Chen An with frustration. Is this... a serious injury?
"Xu Juge brought a pharmacist here, saying he would help heal His Majesty."
"Is there no imperial physician in my palace?"
Xie Huayu smiled bitterly and said, "Anfu said that this pharmacist is very famous, known as the Holy Hand, and has the power to bring the dead back to life."
Chen An was stunned: "Isn't this an exaggeration?"
Then, Chen An frowned: "You saw it too. Where is my brother injured? If others see it, won't it be exposed directly?"
Xie Huayu glanced at the person next to her, her eyes flashed slightly, her mouth did not move, but her voice entered Chen An's mind.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to pretend to be seriously injured in order to lure out the disloyal people in Tiandu City?"
Chen An nodded.
Xie Huayu's eyes lit up slightly, and she transmitted again: "Staying closed is not a solution. This will make those in the dark fearful, because they can't be sure of the extent of Your Majesty's injuries, so..."
Before Xie Huayu finished speaking, Chen An narrowed his eyes.
I wondered in my heart, could it be that Xu Juge brought people here just to investigate my true strength?
Very likely!
Chen An took a deep breath!
He gritted his teeth, and suddenly a dagger appeared in his hand. He handed it to Xie Huayu: "Come on, stab me in the back. Use some force!"
Xie Huayu was shocked, and then her pretty face looked strange.
Looking at the shining dagger, I didn't know whether to take it or not.
"It's okay, come on!" Chen An also gave it his all. He had thick skin and amazing physical recovery ability, so it was no big deal to get injured.
But at this moment!
Yu Li suddenly clasped his fists and said seriously, "Your Majesty, there's no need for real injuries. I can help you create realistic injuries. When the time comes, all you need to do is weaken your own Qi to make it look like you have serious internal injuries. Even a skilled pharmacist won't be able to tell from your cultivation level."
Chen An quickly put the dagger back and said angrily: "If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have almost hurt myself!"
"..." Yu Li was speechless, and he didn't ask!
Afterwards, Chen An asked Xie Huayu to pass on the message and asked Xu Juge to wait.
