But Dongfang Tianyang stopped them: "All of you, get out!"
The palace maids immediately rushed out.
The guards hesitated a little, thinking that An Jing might still make an assassination attempt. However, seeing Dongfang Tianyang, the Emperor, with a cold expression particularly displeased that they hadn't left, they no longer hesitated and quickly withdrew.
An Jing couldn't care less about those guards. She merely took out a brocade handkerchief and calmly, leisurely wiped Dongfang Tianyang's blood off the scissors. Afterward, she even used tea water to clean the scissors.
She originally had a dagger on her, but when she regained consciousness, she found it was gone, likely confiscated by Dongfang Tianyang's people. The scissors she had now were taken from the dressing table while she was combing her hair in the morning, tucked away in the secret pocket of her sleeve to protect herself if needed, and they came in handy now.
