Prince Luo was dumbfounded. He looked at her in disbelief as he saw the woman who had just been cursing and shouting fell into a pool of blood in an instant.
"Someone come!" He rushed over, picked up Princess An, and shouted like crazy.
Princess An pulled out the sword with difficulty, grabbed his sleeve with her bloodstained hands, and propped herself up, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, "Third brother... I'm sorry, I couldn't protect my third sister-in-law back then, I'm going to atone for my sins with her!"
"No! No! No..." Everything in Prince Luo's mind seemed to be cleared in an instant, but his heart ached sharply, and he couldn't even put his finger on where the pain was.
When Tianjizi heard the sound, he rushed in immediately. Seeing this scene, he was also shocked. Although he thought that Princess An would use some extreme means, he did not expect that she would hurt himself.
But, admittedly, this was the best way. What could be better than committing suicide in front of the prince because of the princess's affairs to wake him up? What could be more heartbreaking
Tianjizi knew medicine, and immediately ordered Princess An to be taken to a nearby room and laid down.
“Sir, sir,” Prince Luo’s hand was covered in blood. He grabbed Tianjizi’s arm, his teeth chattering, his face frighteningly pale, “No matter what, you must save her. You can’t let her die.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best. Your Majesty, please go out first." Tianjizi knew that the injury was serious, and hurriedly drove people out.
However, as soon as the door was closed, Princess An sat up by herself, walked straight to the bronze mirror, undressed in front of Tianjizi, revealing a bloody wound.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you come over and help?" Princess An saw Tianjizi's shocked face in the bronze mirror and said lightly.
Tianjizi looked at the wound on her abdomen. The wound was very deep, but it was stabbed from the right side, close to the side. It should be that when she drew her sword, she deliberately tilted her body, causing the sword to deflect.
But even if the stab missed the target, the wound was so deep that it should have been very painful and would still be bleeding.
She can actually stand up, walk and take off her clothes by herself. Doesn't she feel any pain
"Princess, you should lie down first." Tianjizi said softly.
"Have you never seen a woman's body? Your face is red." Princess An turned around and sneered, "Bring me the golden medicine, I will bandage it myself."
"Let me help you." Tianjizi looked at her pale but still stubborn face. In fact, she was really similar to the prince, both in appearance and temperament.
Princess An picked up a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the wound. "No need. For so many years, I have treated the wounds myself. I don't need to ask anyone else for help."
Tianjizi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at her... body, which was covered with countless wounds of varying sizes.
He didn't ask and handed the medicine over silently.
Princess An took it, pressed the acupoints above the wound, and then sprinkled medicine powder on the wound.
"Princess, you should clean the wound first." Tianjizi couldn't help but remind her.
"No need!" Princess An said coldly.
She quickly bandaged the wound and put on her clothes, then slowly walked to the bed and lay down. Her voice was much gentler, "Sir, I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me."
Tianjizi watched her series of smooth movements, which were so skillful that it was obvious that she had really treated her own wounds in the past.
"Princess, don't worry about it." Tianjizi curled the corner of his mouth and turned away his eyes unnaturally. In the past, he always thought that he was very smart and foresighted, but the woman in front of him was no less smart than him.
Moreover, her forbearance was no less than anyone else's. Looking at her wound, even he, an outsider, felt pain, but she did not frown at all.
"My own business is done. The remaining matters are yours truly's business." Princess An closed her eyes tiredly. She was really tired.
Tianjizi was really curious, "Princess, why do you think I will help you?"
Princess An opened her eyes and glanced at him calmly, "You are not helping me, you are helping my third brother, and you are also helping yourself, Prince Luo's Mansion, and Nanjun. Sir, you are a smart man, don't ask such stupid questions in the future."
Tianjizi looked at her and smiled bitterly, "Princess, I admit defeat."
Princess An sighed softly, "Sir, there is no need to say such things. Sir, you are smart, and everyone knows it. I really had no choice but to resort to this last resort. If there is any other way, I will not hurt myself."
"Your Highness will understand the princess' good intentions." Tianjizi had great respect for Princess An, who had been silently cleaning up Chu Jing's mess behind the scenes for many years, just because she was a princess of the royal family. She must have really hated her birth.
"I believe you have a way to convince the prince." Princess An slowly closed her eyes. "I am seriously injured and must lie down for two days. Don't disturb me during these two days. I am really tired."
From earthquakes to epidemics, and then to power grabs and political chaos, she has never stopped, and has encountered ambushes and attacks along the way. Even a person of iron cannot withstand it.
Tianjizi felt a little pity for her for no reason and said softly, "Princess, go to sleep. I will take care of everything for you."
Princess An was really asleep. Her breathing was even and her sleeping face was peaceful.
Tianjizi looked at her quietly for a long time before he got up and left.
When he turned around, tears fell from Princess An's eyes. No one had ever said such words to her in all these years.
No one will tell her, don’t worry, I’m here.
After opening the door, Prince Luo, who was waiting anxiously outside, asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Is it serious?"
Tianjizi said softly, "Your Majesty, please be quiet. I just pierced the princess's acupuncture points and made her fall asleep. The pain will be alleviated if she falls asleep."
Prince Luo nodded repeatedly, took a step back cautiously, and asked him to close the door, still looking very nervous.
Tianjizi said, "Although the princess's wound is very deep, God has mercy on her and has not hurt her vital parts. She will be fine after a period of rest. Just now, the princess said that she will set out to return to the capital tomorrow. Your Majesty, you still have to persuade her. Her current injuries cannot withstand any more hardships. There are also people chasing her along the way. If something happens to her, I am afraid it will be too late to save her."
"She said she's leaving tomorrow?" Prince Luo asked in a daze, looking sad. "She's very disappointed with me and doesn't want to see me again."
"No, the princess just said that she had important things to do in Beijing." Tianjizi said.
Prince Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No, I know what she is thinking. The scene of her committing suicide just now reminded me of many things. She has been a stubborn person since she was young, but she knows right from wrong. Although I have rarely interacted with her since the princess left, I always believe that human nature will not change much."
"Your Highness means..." Tianjizi asked tentatively, "Do you believe what she said?"
Prince Luo turned around and walked down the stone steps step by step. His voice was hollow, "I don't know. I am very confused. I hope what she said is not true, but I know that it is very likely true."
Tianjizi followed him and did not force him. "I will go back and write a prescription and ask someone to get the medicine, and then I will talk to the prince. There are some things that are more confusing to the person involved than to the bystander."
"No, just look at An Ran, I will slowly figure it out." Prince Luo staggered away, his back looking lonely.
Tianjizi looked at him and knew that he was upset. It was impossible for anyone to see through such a huge blow all of a sudden.
However, he also knew that the prince was a smart man, and he would not choose to deceive himself in the end, because after following him for many years, he knew that he really loved the princess deeply.
If he really stepped out of the illusion that Chu Jing created for him, he would do anything for the princess.
