First there was a muffled groan, then a scream. Wu Yuan fell to the ground and stared blankly at the shocking scene in front of him.
Just now he thought he was definitely going to die this time, but at the critical moment, a huge force pulled him aside.
He only had time to groan before he saw a flash of cold light, and then he saw a man in black screaming and falling from the beam.
The whole process only takes a few breaths.
Wu Yuan looked at the slim and charming figure in front of him with shock.
"Did my princess turn out to be such a fierce person?" Wu Yuan looked at her in confusion.
The move just now was beyond Wu Yuan's understanding.
The heroine in this pure martial arts movie is a super expert.
When Xin Ruyan heard Wu Yuan's murmur, her impeccable face turned red for a moment.
But immediately he turned cold again and scolded: "Do you know that I have Kung Fu? And why didn't you hide just now?"
Wu Yuan stood up angrily. It was the first time he experienced such a battle. He was so scared that he couldn't react at all. Besides, the hidden arrow just now was so fast that he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.
But after calming down, I remembered that Xin Ruyan, as the daughter of a divine general, did have the skills to help her, but in my memory, I had never seen Xin Ruyan take action.
"Thank you so much for saving my beloved wife's life. I have nothing to repay, so why don't I pledge my life to you tonight?"
Wu Yuan looked at Xin Ruyan with hope and swallowed his saliva.
To be honest, I really fall in love with this kind of handsome and sassy princess.
However, Wu Yuan's response was a cold look filled with murderous intent.
"I said before, if you want to touch me, you must have the ability to conquer me, Xin Ruyan, otherwise I, Xin Ruyan, would rather die than obey."
Only then did Wu Yuan understand why this romantic prince had never touched the fairy-like princess. She was really a wild horse that was difficult to tame.
But Wu Yuan was actually happy.
"I have not forgotten it, and I believe that this day is not far away."
Xin Ruyan wanted to refute it as before, but in his mind, he unconsciously recalled the unruly figure of Wu Yuan who composed a poem in seven steps and defeated Dayu's envoy.
"Ruyan, what are you thinking about? You're not thinking about how handsome I looked just now, are you?"
Xin Ruyan's jade-white face had a hint of blush.
"It's boring. It's just two bad poems. It's nothing special." Xin Ruyan hummed.
"Oh, it turns out that I was reminded of the poem I just composed. It's all superficial. If you like it, I can give you one every day."
When Wu Yuan once again told him what he was thinking, Xin Ruyan became angry and said, "I didn't save you just now."
Hearing this, Wu Yuan also remembered the thrilling moment just now, and was still a little scared.
Then I thought about it, for the sake of my own life, it was necessary to have a good relationship with this master princess.
Just when Wu Yuan was about to say a few nice words, several guards over there hurriedly came to report.
"His Highness was frightened because of his incompetence."
Wu Yuan immediately scolded: "What do you guys do for food? In broad daylight, there are assassins. Fortunately, the princess is here, otherwise you would have waited to be buried with me."
Several guards were also kneeling on the ground in fear, knowing that this prince was a ruthless person, and they were afraid that they would be doomed this time.
But the next second, Wu Yuan said: "Forget it, where is the assassin? Find out who sent him."
The guards all looked at Wu Yuan as if they were seeing a ghost. They couldn't believe that the prince, who never treated his servants as human beings, actually wanted to let them go.
Even Xin Ruyan looked incredulously.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"
The leading guard immediately replied: "Thank you for not killing, Your Highness. It's just that the assassin had poison in his mouth. He knew he was injured and had no hope of escaping, so he committed suicide by taking the poison."
"So cruel?" Wu Yuan said a little frightened.
He was a modern man, and for a moment he actually accepted such an unexpected and cruel assassination.
I was also worried. Such a well-trained person would never be alone. This was a death squad.
If the source is not found as soon as possible, I am afraid that I will become a turtle prince in the future and live with my head shrinking.
"Take me to see it." Wu Yuan said in a deep voice.
Xin Ruyan frowned and said with an ugly expression: "What's so good about a corpse?"
The guard also advised: "His Royal Highness has a body of thousands of gold, so as to avoid any bad luck, it is better not to look at it."
"I'm going to do an autopsy. There should be some clues."
"Autopsy?" Xin Ruyan and the guards looked at Wu Yuan in surprise.
Wu Yuan was also stunned by the reactions of these people, "What? You don't use forensic autopsies when investigating cases?"
"Forensic doctor?" Xin Ruyan was surprised again, hearing this word for the first time.
Wu Yuan is now certain that there are no forensic doctors or coroners in this world.
No wonder, when the guard just said that the assassin committed suicide by taking poison, he looked like he had come to a conclusion and had no way of investigating.
Wu Yuan was secretly happy. Although he studied traditional Chinese medicine passed down from his ancestors, he knew everything about the human body. Autopsy should not be difficult for him.
Thinking of this, Wu Yuan pretended to be mysterious and said: "I will teach you a lesson today. Sometimes, the dead can tell us more than the living."
The guards looked at each other in confusion for a while, feeling that the prince was probably not out of the shadow of being deposed and was not normal.
But due to his status, he still flattered and agreed.
At least it was certain that the ill-tempered prince was in a good mood today and had no intention of blaming them for their negligence.
Because the place where the assassin fell was on the other side of the palace wall, it took more than ten minutes to walk around it.
Xin Ruyan didn't want to follow, but Wu Yuan today made her feel very different. Out of curiosity, or wanting to see Wu Yuan slap himself, she followed.
When I came here, I found that many people were already gathered here.
"His Royal Highness the eldest prince, stay here. Our Criminal Department will take care of the assassin's body and we will do our best to find out the truth."
Wu Yuan frowned and said very unhappily: "Don't talk to me in official style here, I want to go and see for myself, get out of my way."
The person from the Criminal Department did not expect Wu Yuan to be so insistent.
But his attitude is still tough, "Your Highness makes atonement, the Ministry of Punishment handles cases, and outsiders are never allowed to interfere. Please come back, Your Highness."
Wu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, rules are dead, people are alive.
He hasn't done anything yet, but the punishment department is so determined? There must be something fishy going on here.
"Then the prince insists on going in and taking a look? Are you planning to arrest the prince?" This is the first time Wu Yuan has shown off as a prince since he traveled through time.
And when I saw the person in the punishment department in front of me looking nervous and uneasy, I felt secretly happy.
But at this time, a discordant voice came, "His Royal Highness the eldest prince is no longer the prince, but he still regards himself as the prince. This is a grave crime of contempt for the emperor and his disobedience."
