Poison man is hard to tame

Chapter 299 The Seventh Highness (3)
Dongfang Heng frowned, looked at the black shadows fighting together, and said in a deep voice, "Keep alive."

Having said that, but after careful observation, the skills of those black-clothed assassins are not much different from his, the hidden guard in the palace. After fighting for a long time, the two sides were at a stalemate for a long time. Up to now, of course, he has been assassinated. He has encountered many assassins, and this time the assassins can be said to be the longest stalemate under the hands of his well-trained shadow guards.

Just thinking about it for a moment, someone got away from the fight, the sword flashed across the air, and the black figure flew straight towards him. Go away with your heart.

Dongfang Heng's eyes sharpened, watching the sharp sword attacking but did not dodge, he raised his hand luckily with his fingertips and clasped the tip of the long sword, causing the sword to stand still, the black-clothed assassin saw this Guang was slightly surprised, seeing that the assassination was unsuccessful, he withdrew the sword force vigorously, turned around neatly, and the sword force turned towards Empress Xiao who was at the side.

Dongfang Heng did not expect such a change, and it was too late to stop it. Empress Xiao was surprised when she saw the sword coming towards her, and subconsciously took a few steps back, but how could she move so fast? Seeing the man approaching, she almost thought that she was about to be pierced by a sword, but a white shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and the fingertips of the long sword that was about to pierce her body sank into the boy in white. chest.

Empress Xiao was stunned, obviously she didn't expect that the boy she met for the first time would block the sword for her regardless of his own life, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, the young man in front of him clasped the long sword on his chest with his hands, and pulled it out enduring the pain. His hands were filled with the strength of internal force, which made the black-clothed assassin a little bit overwhelmed, so he was in a stalemate. He suddenly raised his leg and kicked the body of the person opposite him flying...

"Ding..." The long sword landed with a crisp sound.

However, this kind of movement was already very far-fetched for him. The next moment, he couldn't help but fell backwards, but he didn't touch the ground, because someone behind him had already supported his limp body.

He raised his eyes vigorously to glance at the person above, and then gradually closed his eyes.

Empress Xiao saw her pupils, which were very similar to Jinyu's, were closed tightly, and her heart twitched.

Seeing this, Dongfang Heng frowned, stepped forward to pick up the long sword dropped by the assassin, and then joined the fight with his own hands. The most powerful assassin in this group was the one who had just stabbed the queen. But that person had already been injured by Ye Mang, and the group of assassins immediately lost some strength, and his rejoining immediately made the assassins fall into a weak position. In a short while, several people were injured.

"Withdraw!" Someone yelled, and the black-clothed assassins withdrew their swords one after another, no longer wanting to fight, and swiftly fled to the outside of the hall without hesitation.

Dongfang Heng shouted coldly: "Chase!"

As soon as these words came out, the shadow guards in the hall followed the black-clothed assassins out of the hall and chased them. Dongfang Heng threw away the long sword in his hand, turned around and saw the empress Xiao lying in her arms. The bright red blood of the young man who shielded the sword for her made the white shirt very glaring.

Empress Xiao seemed to have not recovered from her daze, until he stepped closer, and suddenly heard her raise her eyes and shout loudly towards the surroundings...

"Tell the imperial doctor, pass on the imperial doctor!"

In the dormitory surrounded by incense and incense, there was a handsome young man in white shirt lying on the soft couch. Dongfang Heng stood aside and glanced at the woman beside him, but saw that her eyes fell on the person on the soft couch, her expression was very serious. worry.

"Queen, you seem to be nervous about him?"

Having been together for many years, he knows her personality well, she is cold and ruthless, she only cares about Jinyu, and has never seen her care about anyone else, it doesn't seem like she was moved because someone blocked a sword for her.

When Empress Xiao heard this, her expression was a little dazed, she only looked at the person on the soft couch, and murmured: "He..."

"Your Majesty." Suddenly there was an eunuch's voice, Dongfang Heng looked back, it was his former eunuch attendant, and there was another person behind him, he saw clearly the appearance of that person, it was Hua Weihan, Prince Xizhao.

"Your Majesty, this servant bumped into the prince of Xizhao clumsily on the way before arriving at the Imperial Hospital. When the prince asked, the servant replied that someone was injured in Fengyi Palace. The prince said that he knew medical skills, and he might go to the Imperial Hospital again." There was a delay, so the prince was invited here."

"Your Majesty, be polite." Hua Weihan said flatly.

Dongfang Heng naturally didn't care who came to see it at this moment, he just said: "Since the crown prince understands medicine and is willing to go out, let the crown prince take a look."

Hua Weihan walked up to the soft couch, checked the injury on Ye Mang's chest, and after a while, his eyes fell on his face, but he was slightly surprised when he saw it.

Seeing this, Empress Xiao, who had been paying attention to his expression, hurriedly said, "But the situation is not optimistic?"

"No, the sword hasn't touched the heart, it will be healed after bandaging with medicine." Hua Weihan said, reaching out to untie Ye Mang's clothes. The gauze must be changed every day, and alcohol and spicy food should be avoided during this period.”

"Thank you, Prince." As Empress Xiao said this, she suddenly remembered something, and asked again, "Since you can be cured well, why were you surprised just now?"

Hua Weihan hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and then said: "Perhaps the empress did not notice his strangeness."

Empress Xiao was puzzled, "What's so weird?"

"Usually with injuries of this degree, it is impossible for his complexion to turn pale." Hua Weihan said, "But his complexion has hardly changed from just now to now."

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Heng's deep voice came from behind, "That is to say..."

Hua Weihan said the answer calmly, "Human skin mask."

"Human skin mask?" Empress Xiao's eyes were stunned, and the eyes that could touch her heart flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly said, "You mean that his current face is not his real face?"

Hua Weihan said: "Exactly, originally this was a personal secret, but I heard that His Majesty has just been assassinated, so it's better to guard against those around you, as it would be suspicious if you don't show your true face."

"If the prince has a way, let's remove his mask." Dongfang Heng looked at the person on the couch, a sharp gleam flashed in his eagle eyes, "You can't keep people of unknown origin in the palace, I want to see who he is. appearance."

Hua Weihan's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words, and then he said to Dongfang Heng's attendant eunuch, "Go and prepare a basin of clean water, and then send someone to Yongling Palace to put the last water on the bookcase in the house where I live. Bring me a bottle of medicine."

The attendant eunuch retreated after hearing the words.

Fengyi Palace and Yongling Palace are very close, the medicine was taken by the palace servants after a while, and someone else brought up the clear water, Hua Weihan took the medicine bottle and poured the medicine powder inside into the water basin After a while, he dipped his hands into the water and took a handful of water, turned around and sprinkled it on Ye Mang's face, stretched out his hand to touch the edge of his face, and then under the watchful eyes of Empress Xiao and Dongfang Heng, he groped for the part of the human skin. One corner, slowly uncovered...
