Fu Zhun had never been on guard against her, and before he knew it, he and his wheelchair were knocked to the ground.
"Die, die..."
Su An's face was devoid of any emotion, like a puppet being manipulated. The dagger in his hand suddenly increased in force, and it was only two fingers away from piercing Fu Zhun's eye.
"Su An, wake up!"
No matter how he shouted, Su An seemed to have no mind, while the flute music continued to intensify.
Left with no other choice, Fu Zhun controlled his strength and chopped at her neck with his hand.
Su An immediately let out a muffled groan, and then her body went limp and she fainted.
Fu Zhun wrapped one arm around her slender waist, and at the same time noticed that the carriage was slowly slowing down. It was likely that Jian Yi was also confused by the flute music and was temporarily unable to move.
His anger intensified, and he sneered, "An Yi, follow the sound of the flute and hunt down Peony!"
"yes!"
A faint voice of command echoed from the shadows, and the voice swiftly sped away.
At this moment, Peony, hidden in the alley, was still staring intently at the movement of the carriage.
Seeing that Jian Yi was also struggling, the viciousness in her eyes intensified, and she waited with certainty for Su An to succeed in his assassination.
Unexpectedly, just as she was concentrating on playing the flute, she suddenly felt a murderous intent coming from above her head.
"who?!"
She was horrified and quickly rolled away, but she was still stabbed in the shoulder, leaving a deep, chilling gash.
An Yi landed silently, without saying a word, and attacked Mudan without mercy according to orders.
"Your Highness's secret guards, you bunch of flies, you actually followed us here too!"
Peony couldn't help but spit out a sharp curse, then immediately turned and fled.
"Hmph, a futile struggle."
In the darkness, the heavily wounded Peony was a sure thing—a head.
With almost no effort, he managed to draw several more bloodstains on the peony.
"Pfft, cough cough!"
Peony coughed up blood heavily. Seeing An Yi chasing after her, she knew she couldn't escape. So she gritted her teeth, mustered all her strength, rushed to the front of the carriage, and knelt down in exhaustion.
"Your Highness, I am willing to serve you. I beg you to show mercy and spare me!"
As the saying goes, a wise person knows when to yield; she certainly didn't want to die!
In the blink of an eye, An caught up and pressed his sword against her throat.
They were just waiting for the prince's order to take her head at any time.
"Your Highness, what should we do?"
A chilling killing intent emanated from inside the carriage, accompanied by Fu Zhun's menacing voice: "You're nothing but a rat in the gutter; why should I need your service?"
"Kill them."
Upon hearing this, Peony's pupils constricted instantly. The fear of impending death made her shout with all her might, "Wait, Your Highness, please hear me out!"
"I am but a nobody in front of Your Highness, but I am also the leader of the Shadow Guards here, and everything I do is on His Majesty's orders!"
"His Majesty is constantly monitoring the situation here, and he's keeping a close eye on Su An. If I die, and the news reaches the palace, His Majesty will likely be even more furious, making Su An's situation even more dangerous!"
"It would be better to spare my life and deceive His Majesty, so that Su An can be safe for the time being!"
Peony's blood was churning, but she dared not faint. She finished speaking to Su An in one breath.
She knew that even if Fu Zhun didn't do it for his own sake, he would definitely consider it for Su An's sake.
As expected, the atmosphere inside the carriage grew increasingly cold and stern, but then fell into complete silence.
A short while later, Fu Zhun's deep voice rang out: "Then as you said, I'll spare your worthless life."
Peony was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel glad that she had switched sides quickly.
Just like that opportunistic Xu Datong, although he deserves to die, he is indeed very useful!
"This humble servant kowtows to thank Your Highness for sparing my life. From now on, I will follow Your Highness with unwavering loyalty, even unto death!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhun did not reply, but only gave a contemptuous sneer: "An Yi."
"Feed her poison."
What?
Peony was startled and before she could react, An Yi swiftly grabbed her chin and stuffed a bitter poison into her mouth, where it melted instantly.
"Cough, cough!"
She clutched her throat, and a pitiful glint appeared in her alluring eyes.
But remembering that Fu Zhun couldn't see, she had no choice but to bite her lip and give up.
"Your Highness... what... what is the purpose of this poison?"
"The poison has an antidote every month. If you dare to have any disloyal thoughts, you will die with your intestines pierced."
The cold indifference in that voice made her heart skip a beat, and all her remaining hopes were completely extinguished.
"How dare I? From now on, I will only follow Your Highness's lead..."
"Back to the clinic!"
...
"Approved... approved!"
Su An's voice was hoarse. When she dreamed again that she had killed Fu Zhun, she finally opened her eyes with a sudden burst of cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
Her head felt like it was about to explode. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before finally coming to her senses, panting heavily.
What's going on? Is this a clinic? Or is it just a dream?
Countless dreams within dreams, but without exception, Fu Zhun fell in front of her!
Could it be this time too—
"Payment approved..."
Tears welled up for what felt like the umpteenth time. She struggled to get up, her eyes darting around frantically, searching for that figure.
"What are you yelling for? Do you feel like a day apart is like three autumns?"
Suddenly, an impatient voice from the side finally burst out.
Xie Qingfeng walked over with a dark face, carrying a freshly poured bowl of medicine. He was annoyed when he saw Su An's dazed expression.
"You keep talking about the master all the time. Your voice isn't hoarse yet, but I'm already tired of hearing it!"
"Thank you, miracle doctor?"
Su An rubbed her eyes hard in disbelief, staring blankly at Xie Qingfeng through her blurry tears.
