However, it's easy to guess that they were using intimidation and coercion to extract information.
No one knew what the two were saying, but they saw the curved blade gradually approach Jiang Wan's skin in just a few words.
Gradually, Tuoba Hui seemed to lose patience, and suddenly flew into a rage, raising his scimitar to slash at Jiang Wan.
"Fine! Since you insist on denying it, then take the secret of the imperial edict to meet the King of Hell!"
Everyone was shocked.
At the critical moment, an arrow flew through the air and shot straight at Tuoba Hui's heart.
Tuoba Hui sidestepped, drew back his curved sword, and held it in front of him. Biluo, who was already poised to attack, saw this and quickly flew forward to pull Jiang Wan to a safe position.
A-Si turned around and saw Pei Xuan walking towards them with a crossbow in his hand. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Your Highness!"
Shouldn't His Highness be under house arrest in the Eastern Palace? How come he's here?
"Guards, shoot the assassin!" The leader of the Imperial Guards shouted as soon as he saw Tuoba Hui trying to escape.

However, the leader of the Imperial Guards had another thought.
When Jiang Wan and Tuoba Hui were speaking in hushed tones, no one heard what they were saying.
It's possible that she was feigning defiance while actually revealing clues about the imperial edict to the other party.
That's why he rushed over to ask, his words carrying a hint of probing.
Jiang Wan naturally understood his thoughts, smiled slightly, and took something out of her sleeve.
"This, this is..."
Upon recognizing what it was, the leader of the Imperial Guards was startled and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing heavily.
He was deeply shocked.
What Jiang Wan held in her hand was actually a genuine imperial edict!
