After his brain experienced a brief freeze, a huge Chinese character popped up in Song Huan's mind——
run!
Although he doesn’t know who it is, Song Huan can be 100% sure.
Someone had ambushed nearby early in the morning, waiting to shoot him here.
Song Huan broke into a cold sweat and ran in the opposite direction.
But before he ran a few steps, an arrow whizzed towards Song Huan.
"call--"
Song Huan's reaction was quite flexible. Although he fell to the ground in a flash, he barely escaped the attack of the arrow.
But seeing another arrow flying straight towards him again, Song Huan secretly thought it was not good.
This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape at all!
"Snapped!"
Soon enough, in the darkness, a cold light flashed and flew straight out into the darkness.
"ah!"
A heart-rending wail came from the darkness that was so blinding that one couldn't even see his fingers.
Shadow Guard Huo Qi descended from the sky and ran at full speed in the direction where the screams came from.
"who!"
As Huo Qi reached out and pulled in the darkness, he saw a man dressed in black, like a chicken, being pulled out by him.
A black short knife was deeply embedded in the left arm of the man in black who was holding the bow and arrow.
Song Huan took a breath, it turned out that Huo Qi had been secretly observing.
Fortunately, he had reacted quickly enough just now, giving Huo Qi a chance to shoot two arrows, allowing him to successfully find the location of the man in black.
"Who are you, and whose order did you come to assassinate my king?"
Although he knew that the other party would most likely not tell the truth obediently, Song Huan still opened his mouth to ask.
The man in black seemed not to have expected that Song Huan would discover him so quickly when he was hiding so secretly!
"Didn't you say that the fourth prince has no bodyguards around him?"
"how come……"
Song Huan frowned tightly.
"Who told you that there are no guards around me?"
"Tell me what happened, and I will spare your life!"
However, the man in black suddenly twitched violently.
Soon, asphalt-like sticky blood gushed out of his eyes, and there was no trace of life left in his eyes.
"he died."
Looking at the motionless man in black, Huo Qi stretched out his hand to feel his breath and shook his head.
"This person should be a hired killer, and he will hide the poison between his teeth in advance."
"Once the mission fails, they will bite the poison and never leave the opponent alive."
Song Huan's frown deepened.
It seems that the other party is cruel and wants to put himself to death completely.
It's a pity that the other party made a wrong plan!
"Your Highness, do you want me to investigate the origin of this person?"
Song Huan shook his head coldly.
"No need, this person is so thorough in his work, even if we find out his origins, there will never be any involvement with the person behind the scenes."
"There are not many people who hate me in the Daliang Court now. You can easily think of someone who hates me so much that they want to get rid of me!"
Now in the eyes of the second prince Song De, he is just a little transparent person who poses no threat.
But after following Emperor Liang in and out of the East Palace that day, Empress Shangguan and Prince Song Yu probably hated themselves to death!
Especially since the mother and son have a vengeful character, they will definitely send a killer secretly to make them die outside the palace inexplicably.
Unfortunately, they thought they knew their whereabouts well.
Little did he know that he already had the Shadow Guard Token in his hand that only Emperor Liang could dispatch!
Seeing that Song Huan looked like he had a plan, Huo Qi stopped asking any more questions.
"By the way, Your Highness, my subordinates were in the palace today and have already inquired about the whereabouts of Imperial Physician Lu Ziang that day."
"Although it's not certain that it's Imperial Physician Lu himself, it should be close to that!"
The efficiency of the Shadow Guard is indeed ridiculously high.
Song Huan nodded: "What's going on?"
Huo Qi continued to report expressionlessly: "On that day, as usual, the Imperial Hospital sent people to the East Palace to consult the prince."
"It's just that later on, the imperial doctor seemed to never come out of the East Palace again."
"According to the description, the imperial physician who never appeared again after entering should be Lu Ziang."
Song Huan's eyes narrowed.
According to Lu Qianxue's description, Lu Ziang should have looked harmless to humans and animals.
For no reason, could it be that Song Yu killed him?
Song Huan thought for a while: "That day was the resettlement fee sent by the eunuch of the House of Internal Affairs. After you return to the palace, go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask the eunuch of that day about the situation."
Huo Qi sighed.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have already gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"The eunuch Zhou Ninghai who was responsible for this matter and the other young eunuchs have long since disappeared and disappeared from the world!"
"Not even my subordinates or the other shadow guards found any trace of these eunuchs."
"It's because my subordinates are not doing things well!"
Song Huan shook his head lightly: "It's not that you didn't do things well, I'm afraid these eunuchs have been silenced long ago."
"They were silenced not because it was such a shameful thing to kill the imperial doctor."
"It's because that day at Lu Mansion in the northern suburbs, Zhou Ninghai and others happened to meet me!"
Because they met Song Huan, these eunuchs had to die.
With such a guilty conscience, Song Huan couldn't help but suspect that Lu Ziang must have encountered something unexpected in the East Palace.
As a shadow guard, Huo Qi was only responsible for protecting the comfort of Emperor Liang and Song Huan, and completing the tasks assigned by them.
Huo Qi usually doesn't take the initiative to ask about other matters.
But faced with this situation, Huo Qi couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what are your plans?"
Facing the assassin, Song Huan had nothing to worry about.
After all, with Huo Qi always guarding him, even if several assassins appeared at the same time, they couldn't hurt Song Huan in the slightest.
Just how to use this assassination to make a big fuss made Song Huan fall into deep thought.
Although he didn't suffer any losses, he couldn't just be plotted against someone for no apparent reason!
Song Huan thought for a moment, pointed to the arrow feathers that had been shot by the carriage and said, "Bring that arrow to me!"
Now that things have come to this, it’s better to pretend to be real and see how he responds!
…
"There's an assassin!"
"There's an assassin!"
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been assassinated!"
"..."
The quiet harem was like a deep pool of water, and this shout was like a stone thrown into the pool, instantly creating ripples one after another.
Looking at Song Huan, who was holding a bloody arrow and his clothes were mostly wet with blood, the palace maid Cuimei was panicked and shed tears.
"Your Highness, you were fine when you went out!"
"Why did it look like this when you came back?"
"My servant has already sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor. Please persist!..."
Song Huan was much calmer than Cuimei imagined.
"Is it the envoy from the Taiyuan Hospital who was invited according to my king's instructions?"
Cuimei nodded hurriedly: "Yes! I did everything according to your instructions!"
