"Young man, your forehead is red and your eyes are pink, so you know that danger is approaching, right?"

Shi Yan thought that this man looked like a Taoist master, so he closed the door and asked, "What do you mean?"

Taoist Lin smiled and said, "I calculated that you will be in trouble if you go out tonight, so it's better for you to meditate indoors."

He felt that there was something else behind his words, "Please give me some advice, Taoist."

Taoist Lin took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and pointed at the human skin mask on his face, "Don't you feel that the mask has not fit you well recently? It will wear off if you wear it again."

Shi Yan touched his temples, and it really didn't fit as well as before, and the edges were a little peeling.

"Soak it in it for three hours and the mask will regain its elasticity."

Shi Yan was surprised and said, "Master, it was you who saved me under the cliff? It must be, right?"

Master Lin nodded and said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Don't worry about it. It's still a long way for you to succeed now. You still need to work hard."

Shi Yan pulled his arm and said coquettishly, "Master, you are my reborn parent. I need no thanks for your kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future."

When Master Lin heard him say this, he smiled unfathomably.

He took out two more bottles of medicine, "Take these two bottles of life-saving pills, I hope you won't need them."

"Are you leaving? Otherwise, don't go, I have a lot of things to ask you."

Shi Yan felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the Taoist priest in front of him. Taoist Lin smiled and said, "We will meet again if we are destined to. Remember to save your life is the best policy."

After that, he went out. Shi Yan listened to him and closed the door. He didn't go out tonight.

"Mianmian, I won't bother you tonight, you should sleep well."

At night, a tall figure climbed into Xu's house, and finally found the plaque of Fuxi Pavilion after searching everywhere.

Entering the courtyard, he wanted to push the door, but found that the door was locked from the inside. Knocked on the

door gently, "Mianmian? Are you asleep?"

Xu Mian had just gotten into bed, wondering if Shi Yan would come to see her tonight, when she heard a call from the door.

She got out of bed, opened the door, and saw a tall man in a dark brocade robe. She happily threw herself into his arms.

Shi Jun felt warm in his heart, thinking that Mianmian missed him and was thinking about him coming.

He picked her up and walked inside. Xu Mian hooked her arm around his neck and said in a coquettish voice, "A Yan, I thought you were not coming."

Shi Jun stopped in his tracks in an instant, his face suddenly changed color, and his dark eyes were cold. Xu Mian looked up and shuddered. This was not Shi Yan, but the fake prince!

"Mianmian, what did you say?"

Xu Mian pretended to be calm, covered her mouth, and said coquettishly: "I was wrong, His Highness didn't let me call your name, I was wrong, I shouldn't have no respect for hierarchy."

Can she get away with this?

Shi Jun obviously didn't believe her reasons. He put her on the table and pressed her, "Mianmian, have you seen me outside the palace these two days?"

Xu Mian lowered her eyelashes, "I've been looking forward to Your Highness coming to see me every day, and finally you came tonight."

This sounded fine, and Shi Jun was suspicious, but seeing Xu Mian's innocent face, he put his big hand on his chin and said coldly, "Mianmian, you are not allowed to lie to me, otherwise you know the consequences."

Suddenly remembering something, Xu Mian also thought of it at the same time, and pulled her clothes tightly, "Your Highness, I'm sick and afraid of the cold. Don't take off my clothes, cough cough cough!"

"This is the dog days of summer, you..."

Seeing her coughing so badly, Shi Jun felt a little distressed. He picked her up and carried her into the tent, pulling open the brocade quilt to cover her.

"Your Highness, I have caught a cold and cannot sleep with you. You should go back to the palace."

"You chased me away? Did you really catch a cold, or are you feeling guilty?"

Shi Jun said as he took off his jade belt, took off his outer robe, and got on the bed.

"Ahem, I really caught a cold."

Xu Mian pretended to cough. Shi Jun stroked the back of her neck with his big hand and pulled her closer to him. "It's okay. I'm not afraid of being infected."

Xu Mian pushed him, but it was difficult to push him away. The man was too strong.

Just when she was paralyzed by the feeling of confusion and passion, Shi Jun suddenly picked her up and checked her body, looking carefully from the front and back.

Xu Mian thought she was dead. This man was really insidious.

"Where did the red marks on your body come from?"

The oppressive voice asked. Xu Mian was terrified and turned around and said innocently, "Didn't Your Highness kiss me?"

With tears in her eyes, Shi Jun saw that she was innocent. Even though he suspected that the red marks were made by the real prince, he thought that Xu Mian was just like that because he couldn't tell the two apart.

Where is the real prince? Chaos inside and outside the palace.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking about? Can I go to sleep?"

Xu Mian looked at him with a thoughtful expression. There seemed to be a beast lurking in his fierce eyes, ready to break out of the cage at any time. What was he thinking about to deal with Shi Yan?

He forcefully threw her down, tucked her hair behind her ears, kissed her soft earlobes, and said sinisterly, "There's one thing left to do, guess what it is?"

"What is it?"

She shouldn't have asked. After a while, Xu Mian was sobbing, thinking, Ah Yan, I'm sorry, I really don't have the ability to resist, and I can't be a chaste woman and die.

"If he comes tonight, guess what will happen?"

"Who?" Xu Mian pretended to ask, unable to help but moan.

"You really don't know?" Shi Jun pinched her shoulders, his eyes were dangerous, and he was surging with uncontrollable possessiveness.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? How should I know?"

"Don't you know?"

He punished her and even wanted to threaten her, "Are you still so charming and seductive when you are with him?"

"Mianmian, you are my woman, and you can only be mine. Remember?" He pushed Xu Mian hard.

Xu Mian was powerless to refute and cried out, "Let me go...嘤嘤嘤..."

"Mianmian, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. You must return to the palace. Remember?"

Xu Mian agreed weakly. Shi

Jun left before dawn. The reason why he climbed over the wall to find Xu Mian last night was to prevent Pei Qing from knowing.

At noon that day, Shi Yan returned to the palace to report and presented the list.

Shi Jun was very satisfied after seeing this. "You are responsible for settling these 1,000 dead soldiers and finding another 1,000."

"Yes, Your Highness. I wonder what Your Highness is going to do with these assassins? Are they being secretly transferred into the palace?"

Shi Jun thought that the real prince had already appeared, and Pei Qing would definitely plan to slay the dragon with him in advance, and then he would kill Pei Qing right after killing the emperor.

"You don't need to know. For the time being, we should place them outside the palace."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shi Yan thought that the fake prince must have wanted these assassins as a last-ditch effort, so was it to kill the king or to kill Pei Qing? He was probably prepared for both situations, but in the end, these people listened to him.

He reached into his arms and touched the medicine bottle given by Taoist Lin, and went to the Imperial Hospital.

"Doctor Liu, you have been in the palace for 20 years. Do you know that there is a kind of medicine that can make wounds heal very quickly?"

Doctor Liu said, "There was, but it is not available now."

"When was it available? Do you remember how it came about?"

"Nineteen years ago, your majesty was injured in the expedition to foreign countries. He recruited famous doctors and got a prescription called Jinyao Medicine. This medicine contains dragon bones, which is extremely rare. Your majesty also ordered the Imperial Hospital to develop it. Because dragon bones are hard to find, only ten bottles were made at that time, and there have been no more."

Shi Yan was suspicious. Could it be that the medicine that Taoist Lin used on him was Jinyao Medicine? Otherwise, how could the wound heal so quickly after falling off a cliff?

But how did he get it?
