Li Han didn't expect that on such an important day of the royal hunting, in a place with so many guards, someone would come to assassinate her. Moreover, this time the unlucky system didn't even tell her in advance. It seemed that it really wanted her to die.
Li Han was in a state of uncertainty. For a moment, he really thought that the dagger was about to pierce his body.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Prince An asked worriedly.
Li Han was still in shock and shook his head blankly. Prince An turned and shouted at the assassin, "How dare you assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess in this important place of the royal family? I think you don't want to live anymore!"
This assassin was none other than Xie Su, who Hua Yunyun had previously placed in An Shizi's team and had infiltrated the hunting ground.
Seeing that the assassination attempt had failed again and was ruined by someone, Xie Su hurriedly left. After all, this place was different from the place of blessing. The place of blessing did not allow people to carry weapons because they were praying for blessings. However, there were not only many soldiers in the hunting ground, but they were all armed with weapons. However, if they were surrounded, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
When Prince An saw the assassin about to escape, he wanted to chase her, but when he thought about leaving Li Han alone, he was still a little scared in case another assassin appeared. So he gave up the idea and stayed with Li Han: "Someone come, catch the assassin!"
Li Han was very grateful to Prince An: "Prince, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would probably be a corpse now."
"Your Highness, this is what I should do. As a member of the Kingdom of Li and as a man, this is nothing." said Prince An.
Li Han also had a new respect for Prince An. At first, he complained that he was a blind prince because he liked Hua Yunyun, and thought that he and Hua Yunyun were the same kind of people, birds of a feather.
However, after this incident, Li Han really felt a little embarrassed because he had misunderstood others due to his own personal opinion. He complained about others behind their backs, but the other party saved his life regardless of his own safety.
"Prince, you are such a good person." Li Han originally wanted to praise Prince An, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it. Compared with complaining about others, he felt a little at a loss for words for a moment.
Lu Li said he wanted to help Li Han catch a wild rabbit, so he wandered around here. Because An Shizi's voice was too loud, it startled the animals around him. Lu Li also heard it and hurried over.
"Li Han, are you okay? I hope nothing happened to you!" Lu Li quickly dismounted and went forward to check if Li Han was injured. When he found that she was fine, he felt relieved.
"It's okay, thanks to Prince An. If he hadn't arrived in time, I would have died."
"Your Highness, thank you." Although Lu Li had no interest in Prince An, he was still very grateful to him because she saved Li Han.
"It's alright. We should report this to His Majesty immediately. To dare to assassinate in a hunting ground is truly audacious. Moreover, there are so many concubines and female relatives in this hunting ground. It would be disastrous if we disturbed them."
Lu Li also agreed with Prince An's words, and the three of them set out together and found the emperor's army.
"Hmph, he is really courting death. He even dares to act so presumptuously in the hunting grounds. I must punish this man and his entire clan!" When the emperor heard that there was an assassin and that Li Han was almost assassinated, his face suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Daring to assassinate under the feet of the emperor is obviously a challenge to your majesty's authority. Moreover, there are many officials and their wives present. If we don't investigate this matter thoroughly and give them an explanation, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the officials!" said Prince An.
"Come here, seal off the entire hunting ground and check it carefully. Don't let any suspicious person go. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must catch them!" The emperor immediately gave the order.
Soon the news of the assassin appearing in the hunting ground spread among the female members of the family. These female members usually either accompanied the nobles in the palace to appreciate flowers, or did embroidery at home. They had never seen such a scene before, and everyone felt insecure and stayed in their tents, not daring to come out.
Naturally, this news also reached Hua Yunyun's ears. She acted very calmly, sitting in her tent, not knowing what she was thinking about. Suddenly, she stood up, walked to the door of the tent, waved to a patrolling guard, and asked him to come in.
"I wonder what orders the young lady has?"
Hua Yunyun showed a frightened expression and said, "Has the assassin been caught? I'm really scared to stay here alone!" and slowly approached the guards.
The guard replied, "Don't worry, we will be patrolling constantly to ensure your safety."
"Is that so? Then I feel relieved!" Hua Yunyun nodded, then quickly pulled out the hairpin on her head and inserted it straight into the side of the guard's neck.
The guard's eyes widened as he stared at Hua Yunyun. Hua Yunyun said coldly, "Since you want to protect me, then protect me to the end!"
Then, the guard died. Hua Yunyun suddenly shouted, "Ah, there's an assassin! Help! There's an assassin!"
The guards outside the tent rushed in immediately after hearing Hua Yunyun's cry. Seeing the body on the ground, they hurriedly asked, "Young Master, are you okay?"
Hua Yunyun was slumped on the ground at this moment, looking panic-stricken, and said in a daze: "The assassin wanted to kill me, I, I did it to protect myself..." As she spoke, Hua Yunyun's voice suddenly choked and trembled a little.
"My dear, I'm glad you're alright. Leave this to me!"
Hua Yunyun used a guard as a shield. The dead cannot speak, so the matter ended in vain.
"Yun'er, I heard that an assassin has entered your tent. Are you hurt?" Prince An pulled Hua Yunyun worriedly.
Hua Yunyun shook her head: "It's okay, thank you for your concern, my Lord."
"Oh, right, this assassin also tried to kill Princess Li Han before. If I hadn't arrived in time, Her Highness would have been killed by that guy!"
Prince An said this to please Hua Yunyun and let her know that he was very brave, but Hua Yunyun was speechless after hearing it.
"Your Highness, Yun'er is a little tired and I'm afraid I can't accompany you anymore. I'll take my leave first!" Hua Yunyun forced a smile and turned away.
"Yun'er!" Prince An felt a little strange.
"This Prince An is truly a wretch who can't do anything for you, but always ends up causing trouble!" Hua Yunyun was a little exasperated. "I thought I could make good use of him, but I didn't expect him to disrupt my plans!"
Hua Yunyun said to Xie Su, "There's a kind of Gu in the Western Regions that can control a person's mind. Go find it quickly. This Prince An must be controlled, or he'll ruin my plans again!"
