Chapter 460 Found it
"Humph, it's the daughter of the Xiao family again." The City King said in a deep voice, "It seems that I was right not to allow her to enter the palace before. Now that she has married into the palace, she is still restless."
"Follow the prince and don't let him do anything out of line."
"Yes."
As the last word fell, the breath disappeared.
Shang Ruoyi sensed a strange presence behind her. Those presences were just following her from a distance and posed no threat. She knew that they must have been sent by her father to protect her.
After walking for a distance, a strange-looking man suddenly appeared not far behind her.
"The county lord."
Hearing this familiar voice, Shang Ruoyi hurriedly reined in her horse and looked back.
"I am here to protect the princess on the orders of the prince."
When Shang Ruoyi heard this, a helpless smile flashed across her face.
"Since it's my father's order, just follow me!" She looked at the man and raised her lips slightly: "Ah Heng, I remember this is your name, right?"
"Exactly."
This guard was none other than He Jingheng in disguise.
When he said the first word, Shang Ruoyi recognized it.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the human skin mask on his face and found that there was no flaw at all.
"Princess." The servant of the Seventh Prince's Mansion said, "Can the princess leave now?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded and waved at He Jingheng, signaling him to follow.
"How did you make the human skin mask on your face?"
He Jingheng smiled and said, "Why, is it extremely realistic?"
Shang Ruoyi's eyes flickered slightly, and a person's face flashed before her eyes.
"But what secret method did you use?"
He Jingheng nodded: "This is a unique skill of our Dingguo Palace, called Thousand Human Masks. The human skin mask is as thin as a cicada's wing. If you don't use special potions, you can't tear it off even with your hands. There is no flaw at all."
"You said this is a unique skill of your Dingguo Palace. Is there anyone else who can do it besides you?"
He Jingheng nodded: "The eldest sons of each branch can do it." He looked at Shang Ruoyi: "Why do you ask this?"
Shang Ruoyi was speechless, recalling the man she saw in Concubine Xiao's palace that day. His voice was exactly the same as He Jinghe's, his expression and movements were somewhat similar to the He Jinghe in her memory, and his face was flawless. Most importantly, he specifically pointed out the Prince Ding's Palace that day.
After thinking all this through, Shang Ruoyi felt a sinking feeling in her heart. It seemed that the person was undoubtedly He Jinghe!
However, Concubine Xiao said that he was the young master of some sect and the only descendant of the sect master. Who was this sect master? What was this sect that wanted to overthrow the world?
Seeing that she was worried, He Jingheng whispered, "But what happened?"
"Did you know that there is a Heavenly Master in the royal family of the Western Region?"
He Jingheng nodded: "I have heard about it. I sneaked into the palace for a few days, but did not find any trace of him."
"I have seen him in Concubine Xiao's bedroom. I don't recognize his face, but I will definitely recognize his voice." She looked at He Jingheng and said in a deep voice, "He is exactly the same as He Jinghe. He hates the Ding Palace very much and instigated the Western Region Emperor to send troops to Tianshun. Perhaps he has some selfish motives and wants to kill everyone in the Ding Palace. I don't believe there will be such a coincidence. All coincidences in this world are arranged with ulterior motives."
"Do you suspect that the Heavenly Master is He Jinghe?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded.
As they were talking, they arrived at the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
At this time, the Seventh Prince was anxiously pacing around his mother's room.
"Send someone to see where the little princess is."
"Yes."
Before the guard could turn around, he heard a voice coming from the door: "Your Highness, the little princess is here!"
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince's face lit up with joy, and he walked out quickly. He saw a man and a woman walking in. Shang Ruoyi was walking in front, and behind her was a strange-looking man only half a step away from her. According to etiquette, he was a little too close, but at the moment, the Seventh Prince no longer had the energy to pay attention to these things. He walked quickly to Shang Ruoyi, grabbed her wrist without saying a word, and was about to walk towards the inner hall.
Upon seeing this, He Jingheng swung out with his palm, but fortunately the Seventh Prince was quick-witted and quickly let go of his hand and stepped back.
"How dare you! As a guard, you didn't even greet me, but you actually attacked me. Are you tired of living?" The Seventh Prince said loudly, "Who taught you that?"
"Men and women should not touch each other. What does the Seventh Prince want to do to the princess?" Although He Jingheng wore a human skin mask on his face, his eyes did not change. The Seventh Prince clearly felt the murderous intent emanating from his eyes. This was not just a verbal threat. The murderous intent seemed to have condensed into substance. As long as he stretched out his hand again, the guard would really kill him.
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh. After not seeing each other for some time, He Jingheng actually learned to be jealous.
She patted He Jingheng's shoulder, and his tense muscles slowly relaxed.
"You came to me today because of your mother's matter?"
When the Seventh Prince saw that she was talking about serious matters, he nodded quickly and said, "Since the past few days, I was afraid that my mother would faintly show signs of waking up. I thought she was finally waking up, but I didn't expect that she would suddenly start vomiting blood today, as if, as if she wanted to vomit all the blood in her body."
Shang Ruoyi frowned and walked quickly towards the inner hall.
He Jingheng followed behind her. Seeing this, the Seventh Prince hurriedly said, "My mother is a woman. How can you enter the inner hall?"
"Just wait for me outside." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "Seventh Prince, this place is not a den of tigers and wolves, don't worry."
He Jingheng nodded. Seeing this, the Seventh Prince rolled his eyes at him. If it weren't for the sake of his uncle and Ruoyi, he would have definitely dealt with this guard.
He Jingheng saw the deep meaning in his eyes, rolled his eyes at him, and walked to a pillar beside him to close his eyes and rest.
Looking at his actions, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but frown.
Is this man really a guard? His demeanor is even higher than mine.
Shang Ruoyi walked into the room. The smell of blood that hit her face made her feel nauseous. Looking at the basins of blood being carried out, Shang Ruoyi's heart skipped a beat.
She hurried to the bed, only to see a haggard woman lying lifelessly on the bed, blood flowing from the corners of her lips. A maid was wiping her with a handkerchief, which was soon stained with blood.
She put her hand on the woman's pulse. How could this be?
Shang Ruoyi's heart sank. There was no pulse!
How come there is no pulse?
She tried to calm herself and focus her energy on her fingertips. At this moment, she was able to sense any tiny changes in the woman's body.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and found it.
