He Xuan moved his four-wheeled vehicle quickly, then swiftly extended his arms, blocking left and right, deflecting two cold arrows for He Jinran.
"Your Highness, are you sure you're not here to harm me?"
He Jinran: Third Imperial Uncle is really amazing; he managed to block a cold arrow like that.
"No!" He glanced angrily out the window, then with a whoosh, he burst out.
"Jin'er!" He Xuan was anxious. Wasn't this kid just a moment ago timid as a mouse?
At the same moment, his bodyguard Chu Wei suddenly appeared beside him, asking, "Is Your Highness alright?"
He Xuan: "I'm fine. Go protect Jin'er."
At this moment, chaos had already broken out outside the kitchen.
When He Jinran joined, only one black-clad assassin remained.
Some died, and some fled.
"Speak, who sent you?" Xuan Ying asked coldly.
All the guards and secret agents of the Prince Yi's mansion, upon seeing the scene before them, immediately understood why their prince was so displeased with the arrival of the Crown Prince.
He's clearly a jinx.
As soon as He Jinran came out, he stood in front of the last remaining assassin.
"Not bad, you've even managed to find the Wing Prince's mansion."
The assassin remained silent, and just as he was about to turn his head, He Jinran grabbed his chin.
He looked at the assassin in front of him and loosened his mask.
He revealed a handsome face, and looked to be only a few years older than him.
"So young, to die like this, isn't that a great pity?"
The assassin struggled and bit Gu Xiaoran's wrist, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
"You... were born in the Year of the Dog?" Gu Xiaoran winced in pain, and the next moment, a thud...
The assassin was sent flying by Xuanming's punch, and his sword was placed against his neck.
He asked, "Your Highness, what should be done with this person?"
"Dispose of them?" He Jinran shook his head with a smile. "Uncle Xuanming, how can we treat our guests like this?"
"A guest?" What kind of guest is this? If he didn't want to keep someone alive to find out the truth, Xuanming would have ended this person's life with a single strike long ago.
“Yes, guest.” He Jinran stepped forward and drew his Xuanming sword.
Then, he personally helped the assassin to his feet.
"Little slave, don't be afraid, I won't kill you. Since you have survived by chance, it must be the will of Heaven."
"Little slave?" The assassin was stunned, but remained expressionless and did not give He Jinran any reply.
He Jinran didn't expect the assassin to speak at this moment.
He only thought that assassins were also human beings, and as human beings, they couldn't possibly be without emotions and desires.
He took the sword from Xuanming's hand and, with a swish, slashed open the assassin's black clothes. "I've heard that you people like to hide poison in your collars. Let me see if there's any poison."
The assassins remained silent, instinctively wanting to attack.
However, Xuan Ying was faster than him, and had already subdued him in the previous instant.
"Uncle Xuanying, I've already said we're guests, why are you treating us like this?"
He Jinran was genuinely curious.
However, just as he reached for the assassin's collar, he heard a sharp shout behind him.
"stop!"
He Xuan was pushed by Chu Wei out of the kitchen.
"Your Highness, before you do anything, could you please think of your Third Imperial Uncle? If something happens to you in my Prince Yi's residence, wouldn't it implicate me?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I won't get into trouble easily."
Despite being stopped, He Jinran removed the assassin's outer garment and tossed it aside, revealing the assassin's white inner garment.
"Looking at you now, you're much more pleasing to the eye." He Jinran said, as if he were a friend, as he grasped the assassin's wrist.
"Third Imperial Uncle, we've only eaten half of our dinner, and I'm still not full."
As he spoke, ignoring everyone's reactions, he pulled the rigid, completely bewildered assassin into the kitchen.
"You probably didn't eat enough either. I heard that people in your line of work can only eat until they're half full so as not to affect the mission."
He Xuan and the people around him were genuinely stunned by He Jinran's outrageous actions.
He Jinran completely ignored He Xuan, who followed him into the kitchen, and pulled the assassin to sit down next to him.
Moreover, not only He Xuan followed closely behind, but his bodyguards Chu Wei, Xuan Ming, and Xuan Ying also stayed close by, never leaving He Jinran's side.
These assassins are here to kill His Highness the Crown Prince; no one dares to be careless.
Ironically, He Jinran himself seemed to have no sense of vigilance whatsoever.
"This braised fish tastes good, you should try it." After saying that, He Jinran thoughtfully picked up a large mouthful of the braised fish that suited his taste and put it into the assassin's mouth.
"Eat up, it's delicious."
The assassins never expected He Jinran to do such a thing.
He was forced to eat fish, and without chewing, he instinctively wanted to spit it out.
However, He Jinran grabbed her chin again.
"What, is the food at my Third Imperial Uncle's residence not good?"
After saying that, he picked up another large piece of braised fish and forced it into his mouth again.
"eat!"
This time, a smile appeared on He Xuan's usually cold face.
This He Jinran has a unique way of playing pranks; it's really interesting.
Not only He Xuan, but also Xuan Ming, Xuan Ying, and Chu Wei standing beside him all had a look on their faces as they tried to suppress a laugh.
At this moment, the assassin's mouth was already stuffed full with two large chopsticks of fish meat.
Seeing He Jinran place another chopstick against his lips,
He hurriedly shut his mouth.
Suddenly, my mouth and tongue started to hurt.
Zi,
He groaned, a metallic taste of blood emanating from his mouth.
Blood seeped from the corner of his lips.
Immediately afterward, just as he was about to open his mouth,
He Jinran then covered her mouth and nose.
He Jinran's eyes turned cold.
“If you dare to vomit, I will have Uncle Xuanying smash all your teeth, cut off your tongue, gouge out your eyes, chop off your limbs, turn you into a human pig, and throw you into my master’s pigsty to be raised with them. Uncle Xuanying does this all the time.”
Xuanming suppressed a laugh and gave Xuanying a meaningful look.
Xuan Ying: Young Master, are you sure I do this kind of work often? Even though he's a bodyguard, he doesn't seem to have this kind of hobby.
The assassin retreated, clutching his hand. Seeing He Jinran's sudden change in expression, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He knew that falling into the hands of the royal family meant certain death.
However, he did not want to be humiliated like that.
If he were to be treated like that, he might as well just die.
Speaking of death,
As things stand, he doesn't even have a chance to die.
His face flushed red from holding his mouthful of fish, and he stared blankly at He Jinran, waiting for him to continue.
"Don't be afraid. As long as you behave, I won't hurt you."
He Jinran's voice suddenly softened again.
"I am kind-hearted and can't stand seeing others suffer, even if they are my enemies."
"If you reveal the mastermind behind the murder, I'll take you in and make you my slave. That's much better than your previous life of living in constant fear of tomorrow."
The assassin remained expressionless and unwavering.
He knew that He Jinran was trying to trick him into revealing information.
But as loyal bodyguards, they would immediately carry out their master's orders to kill whomever they were told to do, without ever questioning him.
Even if their master ordered them to kill the current emperor, they would still do so without hesitation.
He Jinran smiled brightly, "Woman, do you want it or not?"
