Chapter 16: A Lucky Woman

After taking a few more glances, Yu Nu said angrily, "I am just a dying man. How long do you want to watch me, Your Highness Prince Xin?"

Wang An quickly retracted his gaze and laughed, "Beautiful things are always worth appreciating. Besides, who said you would die?"

Yu Nu's eyes narrowed. She knew that although the knife wound on her chest looked scary, it actually did not hurt her vital parts. If she was treated properly, her life would not be in danger.

But...Yu Nu is an assassin!
"I won't die... Your Highness Prince Xin, please don't tell me that you will save me!" Yu Nu sneered. After being betrayed by her companions, she had long lost hope in human nature.

What's more, she wanted to assassinate Wang An, and it was reasonable for Wang An to kill her, so how could he turn around and save herself?
Wang An put Yu Nu on the bed. Looking at the wet Yu Nu, he kindly found a towel and wiped her clean carefully. Yu Nu was so angry that she wanted to jump up and kill Wang An.

But she had lost too much blood and had no strength left, so how could she be a match for Wang An?

"If you don't wipe it clean, you'll catch a cold." Wang An muttered, "These days a cold can really kill you."

Wang An was not talking nonsense. Medical technology in feudal society was backward and sometimes just a cold could take a person's life.

After doing all this, Wang An carefully covered Yu Nu with the quilt.

I had just covered myself with the quilt when Xiao Zhao arrived.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. The young lady didn't let me come! Fortunately, General Chen persuaded me and made it clear that the person injured was not you but someone else. Only then did the young lady let me out." Xiao Zhao had already entered the room and explained immediately.

Wang An rolled his eyes when he heard this, wondering how much Cao Yunmeng hated him.

He had to hear that someone else was injured before he was willing to let Xiao Zhao out.

Wang An did not bring anyone with him. Even the one hundred black-armored guards were given to him by Cao Meng because he was worried that his daughter might encounter an accident on the road.

As for specialized doctors, it is even more impossible to have one.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhao was from the Iron Guard, which was similar to the special forces in later generations. She knew how to deal with some simple external injuries. That's why Wang An called her over to bandage Yu Nu.

Wang An waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then pointed to the jade slave on the bed and said, "Thank you, Xiao Zhao, for bandaging this girl's wound. Although I understand a little bit, there is still a difference between men and women."

Upon hearing this, the jade slave on the bed sneered and said, "I don't know who hugged me so tightly just now, and my eyes were about to fall out."

Wang An just smiled without saying anything and looked up at the ceiling.

Xiao Zhao looked at the two of them in confusion, still not understanding what Yu Nu meant.

But when he lifted the quilt covering Yu Nu, he looked at Wang An in surprise, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

Fortunately, when Chen Huai'en called her over, he explained to her about Wang An's encounter with an assassin, so she knew that the person in front of her was one of the assassins. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to guess about Wang An.

Stabbed someone while playing?

Although the ending is always stabbing, no one really stabs someone in the chest with a knife!
Seeing Xiao Zhao start to bandage the wound, Wang An felt a little embarrassed and walked out of the room.

Chen Huaian was standing at the door. When he saw Wang An coming out, he whispered, "Your Highness, in my opinion, it would be better to just kill the assassin. Why bother trying to save her?"

Wang An smiled slightly and said, "Of course it's not impossible to kill her, but there is a saying in the world that one can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. How can I feel at ease if I don't find out the origins of this group of people?"

"Your Highness, do you mean to keep this person alive and interrogate the person behind this?" Chen Huaian asked. Wang An nodded and said, "That's about right. I already have a rough idea of ​​who ordered this."

Chen Huaian obviously knew a lot about Wang An's affairs. Hearing this, he immediately showed a solemn expression and whispered, "Your Highness suspects... this is... the mastermind?"

Chen Huaian said this while pointing to the sky.

Wang An laughed and said, "It can't be him. If I am killed by an assassin before I reach Jizhou, the whole world will think that he did it, and he will have no way to defend himself."

"Do you think he would do something so stupid?"

"Who could that be?" Chen Huaian asked doubtfully.

Wang An sneered and said, "Who else could it be except my stupid cousin?"

"You mean the eldest prince?" Chen Huaian asked suspiciously, "But why did he do this? When you still had hope of inheriting the throne, you blocked the eldest prince's path to becoming the crown prince."

"But you have now requested to be a vassal, which is equivalent to giving up the right to become the emperor. You will no longer hinder him from becoming the crown prince. Why would he still go against you? This doesn't make sense!"

Wang An did not explain Chen Huaian's doubts.

Should I say that Wang Qianqiu's man's weapon was shattered by my kick?
If he told it out loud, Chen Huaian would inevitably ask why he wanted to kick the other person's vitals for no reason. The strangest thing was why Wang Hongyuan did nothing when this happened.

Isn’t this the most reasonable reason to deal with Wang An?

Even if Wang An was the late emperor's posthumous son, it would be impossible for him to kick the emperor's eldest son to death and get away with it.

It was impossible for Wang An to tell Wang Qianqiu about his improper intentions towards Shen Shaozhu. This would not only be a shocking scandal for the royal family, but would also have a huge impact on Shen Shaozhu.

Women in Daliang value reputation the most. If this were to be exposed at this time, Shen Shaozhu would not have the face to continue being the empress dowager of Daliang. She might even commit suicide.

Wang An waited for a while before Xiao Zhao walked out of the room.

Seeing Wang An still waiting at the door, he said with a strange expression: "This female assassin is really gifted. The dagger is not short, but it was still blocked."

"So her life won't be in danger, but..." Xiao Zhao glanced at Wang An and said, "After all, the other party is an assassin. Your Highness must not feel sympathy for her just because she is beautiful."

Wang An was slightly stunned. Xiao Zhao was Cao Yunmeng's personal maid. She had been rude to him all this time. Now she actually showed concern for him, which was rare. It was really a blessing in disguise.

Wang An smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Xiao Zhao. I am not attracted to this female assassin. I just want to force her to reveal the real culprit behind her."

Xiao Zhao nodded and left.

I don’t know whether I believed Wang An’s words or not.

Wang An did not return to the room, but told Chen Huaian: "You must keep an eye on this assassin and take her with you. When we get to Jizhou and settle down, we will interrogate her thoroughly!"

"The last general takes command!"
