I traveled through time with my best friend.

Wang Ziyan didn't read the letter, but pulled Lin Yiyi over and said coquettishly: "I really couldn't get out of bed, and it was only through Master Pei that I was able to get in touch."

Lin Yiyi pinched Wang Ziyan's cheek and said, "I don't blame you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known Xue'er's whereabouts so quickly."

"Madam, you really don't blame me?"

"Am I that easily angered?"

"That's not the case." Wang Ziyan said softly.

Lin Yiyi said softly: "Okay, hurry up and read it and write back to Master Pei."

"Please help me write it."

"Okay." Lin Yiyi nodded helplessly.

Half an hour later, Lin Yiyi looked at the bird's shadow flying away, walked to the bed, and said softly: "Next, it's the critical moment."

"Well, it's a pity that we can't help much next."

"Master Pei and Xue'er have already made arrangements. We just need to wait for them to come back."

"it is good."

------

late at night.

In the Imperial Palace, Concubine Hua walked to the bedside with the medicine in her hand with a serious expression and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

Li Lingchen slowly opened his eyes, his face pale, and when he smelled the bitter taste of the medicine, his brows furrowed, "I don't want to drink it."

Concubine Hua patiently persuaded, "Your Majesty, good medicine tastes bitter but is beneficial to the disease. This medicine is the prescription left by the imperial physician when he left. It will relieve your headache."

After hearing this, Li Lingchen sat up despite his sick body. Concubine Hua took a sip of the medicine with a silver spoon before feeding it to Li Lingchen.

There were only the two of them in the hall. After Li Lingchen drank a sip of the medicine, his eyes suddenly became serious and he asked, "What's the situation outside now?"

Concubine Hua said softly, "Prince Cheng has entered the palace, but has not yet rushed to the Imperial Palace. Hongfu is watching outside."

"Does Master Pei have a letter?"

"No." Concubine Hua shook her head.

Just as he finished speaking, there were chaotic footsteps outside. Li Lingchen looked towards the palace door with cold eyes, "He's coming."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Hong Fu rushed in from outside and said, "King Cheng has brought people to surround the Imperial Palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lingxuan strode in.

"My brother fell ill so suddenly that I was very worried when I heard about it. I brought a doctor to help my brother."

Li Lingchen looked at the people rushing in. Li Lingxuan was standing at the front, looking very imposing.

"I just fainted due to overwork. What are you trying to do by going to such great lengths?"

"Your Majesty's health is related to the Chili Kingdom. I am very worried." Li Lingxuan said with a smile, and then instructed Mu Qi: "Your Majesty is ill urgently, dismiss the people in the Chaozheng Palace and don't let them disturb your Majesty."

"Yes."

Concubine Hua stood up and pointed at Li Lingxuan and asked loudly, "How dare you! When will it be your turn to make decisions in the palace?"

"Your Highness, don't you understand why I came here?" Li Lingxuan suddenly looked at Noble Concubine Hua coldly.

"You want to rebel?" Concubine Hua shouted in surprise.

"Wrong." Li Lingxuan shook his head gently and said, "I am worried that someone will take advantage of my brother's illness to harm him, so I came here to protect him."

"Ahem..." Li Lingchen coughed angrily, looked at Li Lingxuan and said, "You have been waiting for... for this moment for a long time, right?"

Li Lingxuan put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "To be honest, my brother, I have had this idea for a long time. If it weren't for the Queen Mother who kept stopping me, how could you have sat in this position for so many years?"

"Ahem...why?" Li Lingchen still asked in disbelief.

"Why?" Li Lingxuan narrowed his eyes and tilted his head with disdain, "Because you are not worthy of sitting in this position. The people of Chili will only become complacent and will never leave Chili if they follow you as their king."

"The Chili Kingdom suffered a heavy loss in the early stage. Do you think I don't want to recover the border?"

"Brother, please stop saying these high-sounding words. You have to give up this position even if you don't want to."

"How dare you! Are you trying to blatantly seize the throne?" Concubine Hua said angrily, and then shouted loudly: "Someone come, someone come!"

"Everyone outside is my people now. You are trapped in a jar. You'd better follow my plan obediently." Li Lingxuan said coldly.

"You..." Concubine Hua was so angry that she was about to step forward to argue, but Li Lingchen grabbed her and shook his head, so Concubine Hua gave up.

Mu Qi walked in from outside, bowed respectfully to Li Lingxuan and said, "Your Majesty, the doctor is here."

"Invite him in."

"Yes."

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a gray robe came in carrying a medicine box. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Doctor Chen, you are a skilled doctor. Please take a look at my brother. What's wrong with him?"

"Yes."

Doctor Chen walked up to Li Lingchen with the medicine box and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

"What are you going to do?" Concubine Hua asked vigilantly.

Just as she was about to step forward to stop him, Concubine Hua was knocked unconscious by Mu Qi's palm.

"Shu'er!" Li Lingchen was anxious to help Concubine Hua, but was blocked by Mu Qi with a knife, "Your Majesty, it's better not to move."

"You'd better not hurt her." Li Lingchen warned.

"As long as your majesty cooperates, the imperial concubine will be fine."

Li Lingchen looked at Li Lingxuan, his eyes deep and he said: "King Cheng, if you want the throne, it's not that I can't give it to you, but you are leading troops to force the palace now, so what if you get the throne? The people of the world will not respect you, nor will they trust you."

"Bring troops to force the emperor to abdicate?" Li Lingxuan laughed and said, "I did not bring troops, nor did I force the emperor to abdicate. I only brought doctors into the palace. I will temporarily take charge of the court tomorrow when my brother becomes seriously ill and dies. I will deal with your sons one by one. Do you think... can I sit on the throne?"

"you....."

"Let my brother take the medicine quickly, don't waste time." Li Lingxuan suddenly said in a cold voice.

Doctor Chen took out the pills from the medicine box and handed them to Li Lingchen.

"I don't want to eat it!" Li Lingchen refused loudly.

Li Lingxuan said calmly: "Okay, if you don't want to eat it, then I will let the concubine eat it." After that, he waved his hand lightly, and Mu Qi took the medicine from Doctor Chen and fed it to Concubine Hua.

"Wait!" Li Lingchen called to Mu Qi to stop, and said with a suppressed voice, "Bring it here."

After Li Lingxuan watched Li Lingchen swallow the medicine, he told Doctor Chen, "Watch him."

"Yes."

After Li Lingxuan left, Li Lingchen began to feel severe pain all over his body. When Doctor Chen saw this, he immediately took out a pill from his arms and fed it to Li Lingchen.

After Li Lingchen felt better, he looked at Doctor Chen and asked, "Why do you want to help me?"

Doctor Chen bowed slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, I am here on behalf of Miss Jiang."

"Jiang Xue?" Li Lingchen felt relieved after hearing this. He looked at Doctor Chen and asked, "Where is she now?"

"She is with Lord Pei now. Your Majesty, don't worry. Lord Pei has arranged everything."

"Okay." Li Lingchen nodded and continued, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Liu, with the single character Yu."

"Thank you, Doctor Liu."

"The medicine I just took has caused excruciating pain. Your Majesty still needs your cooperation."

"I understand."

After a while, Li Lingchen's heart-wrenching cry was heard in the court hall.

After Li Lingxuan returned to Baohua Palace, Mu Qi walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the palace has made arrangements. Our people have found traces of Pei Zhijin and Miss Jiang on the other side of the barren mountain."

Li Lingxuan lazily leaned back in his chair and ordered, "Kill Pei Zhijin and bring Jiang Xue back. Also, notify the people on the barren mountain that they can flatten the military camp at the foot of the mountain and dress up as them to return to the capital tomorrow."

"Yes."

After Mu Qi left, Gu Yu was about to leave on the eaves of Baohua Palace, but he accidentally made a noise. He cried out in his heart that something was wrong and prepared to get up and leave.

Li Lingxuan had already noticed it, and a palm force was slapping towards the roof.

With a "bang", the roof was blown off and tiles fell to the ground with a clang. Li Lingxuan used his lightness skills to fly out. Gu Yu just managed to dodge the flying tiles and saw King Cheng standing not far from him.

He spread his hands awkwardly and said with a smile: "What a coincidence."

"Gu Yu?" Li Lingxuan stared at Gu Yu with deep eyes.

"Oh, King Cheng still knows me. Could it be that I have become famous?"

"The owner of the black market, I have to know."

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Gu Yu said with a smile, and then bowed slightly. The moment he lowered his head, his eyes turned sharp and all the hidden weapons in his sleeves flew out.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Li Lingxuan turned around and dodged, and Gu Yu took the opportunity to jump down and leave quickly.

Mu Qi heard the sound and rushed over with his men, "My Lord, what happened?"

Li Lingxuan jumped down from the roof, his eyebrows were unhappy, and he said coldly: "It's Gu Yu, kill him."

"Yes."

Gu Yu ran all the way until he reached Yuehua Palace, where he stopped and walked in.

Lan Yu was pacing anxiously in the hall. When she saw Gu Yu coming back, she asked anxiously, "Sir, what happened?"

"I'm going to make some noise now to send a message, you hide."

"it is good."

After Lan Yu left, Mu Qi led his men to surround Yuehua Palace.

"Mr. Gu, surrender yourself obediently, and perhaps the prince will be able to keep your body intact."

"Hmph, I don't want it." After saying that, he threw the marbles out of the hall.

In the dark night, Mu Qi saw the black object thrown out and immediately said alertly: "Disperse."

However, before the marbles fell to the ground, they exploded in the air. In a flash, only screams were heard.

Mu Qi covered his mouth and stepped back. Gu Yu threw out a few more marbles, and then thought to himself, "Such a loud noise, should be heard, right?"

Then he felt something was not going well and threw all the marbles in his hand out.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

A loud noise was heard in the palace, causing panic among everyone in the palace.

Mu Qi didn't expect this thing to be so powerful. He couldn't get inside at all, so he had to retreat.

After the smoke cleared, Mu Qi hurriedly led his men into the hall, but the hall was empty at this time.

"Search separately!" Mu Qi ordered in a low voice.

"Are you looking for me?" Gu Yu's voice sounded outside.

Mu Qi ran out immediately. Gu Yu had already climbed onto the roof. He looked so carefree, as if he had just played a trick on someone. He smiled at Mu Qi and said, "Subordinate Mu, you really are as stupid as your name suggests."

"you......"

"Alas, what a pity! They say fools have good fortunes, but why don't you have any? Is it because you followed the wrong master?"

"You are looking for death!" Mu Qi was so angry that he pulled out his knife and flew up to fight with Gu Yu.

At this time on the barren mountain, after Pei Zhijin received the news, he ordered Wenchuan to notify General Xuan to take action, but they were discovered by the people of Jingmingtang and had to fight.

Wen Yu kicked the man in black in front of him away and shouted to Pei Zhijin, "Sir, take your wife away first."

Jiang Xue was not to be outdone. While dodging the attacks of the men in black, she shouted to Wen Yu, "Let's go together."

Pei Zhijin quickly flew over and protected Jiang Xue behind him, then drew his sword and stabbed the man in black in front of him without mercy.

This was the first time Jiang Xue saw Pei Zhijin kill someone. When the men in black were hit by Pei Zhijin's knife, they immediately became poisoned and fell to the ground.

Jiang Xue was shocked when she saw this. It turned out that it was not that the blood in her body was useless, but that the poison was very toxic and her blood could not completely eliminate it.

Wow! Jiang Xue was stunned when she saw this.

Watching Pei Zhijin moving swiftly among the men in black without any injury, most of the men in black were injured instead.

No wonder Pei Zhijin didn’t draw his sword before. It turns out that no one survives after drawing the sword.

After a while, most of the men in black had fallen.

Wen Yu quickly dealt with the remaining men in black, ran to Pei Zhijin and asked, "Sir, are you injured?"

"I'm fine." Then he walked to Jiang Xue and said softly, "Let's go back to the barracks."

The three of them rushed back to the military camp, which had just experienced a melee. Wen Chuan respectfully walked up to Pei Zhijin and said, "Sir, the bandits outside the military camp have been completely wiped out, and General Xuan has also captured all of them."

"Where is General Xuan?"

"I have already rushed to the capital."

"Okay, let's go back to Beijing too."

"Yes."

That night, people in the palace were in panic and there was a bloody battle outside the palace. When Pei Zhijin and Jiang Xue rushed back to the capital, it was dawn and snowflakes were falling.

Chaozheng Palace.

Li Lingxuan walked in slowly. Li Lingchen was lying quietly on the bed. Liu Yu bowed to Li Lingxuan and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has fallen into a coma. Judging from his pulse, he will not live long."

"Yes." Li Lingxuan looked at Li Lingchen, his mouth corners raised, "Royal brother, don't worry, I won't take your life."

Just as he finished speaking, Mu Qi walked in from outside, "Your Majesty, there is a situation."

"explain."

"General Xuan led the Imperial Guards to surround the Imperial Palace, and all our people were taken under control."

"What?" Li Lingxuan frowned, "Isn't Xuan Yi dead?"

Mu Qi bowed his head and apologized, "Your Majesty, I really saw Xuan Yi fall off the cliff with my own eyes."

"waste!"

"Your Highness, do you want to talk?" Xuan Yi's voice came from outside.

Li Lingxuan's eyes were deep as he strode out of the court hall. The moment he saw Pei Zhijin, he knew that his plan had failed.

"Are you plotting against me?"

Pei Zhijin said calmly, "All is fair in war. Your Majesty is too anxious."

"So you are the head of Qingyun Hall?"

"Yes."

"Humph, Lord Pei really has a good plan. He actually tricked me into it step by step."

"Your Majesty, it's not too late to stop now."

"Do you think I will stop?" Li Lingxuan looked at Pei Zhijin coldly.
