Both worlds are like dreams

Mo Ruilin quickly ordered his men to deploy defenses, and then walked into Emperor Ling's bedroom. At this time, there were only a few loyal eunuchs guarding the chamber.

"Father, Father..." Mo Ruilin called several times, but still got no response.

Rong Yu stepped forward and felt his pulse, "He's still breathing."

"I used a little bit of my inner strength to protect his heart meridian. If the ghost doctor was here, maybe he could still be saved."

"It's useless." Mo Ruilin shook his head. "When you asked me to ask Mr. Dongfang to treat my father, he was already beyond help. My father's health had already collapsed."

"Then do you know that it was Concubine Rong who poisoned him?"

"I guessed it." Mo Ruilin was heartbroken. "After Mr. Dongfang's diagnosis, he knew that father was poisoned by a chronic poison that would corrode his body unknowingly. This poison is undetectable, and by the time it is discovered, it is already too late to save him. Even the poison doctor can't cure it. At first, I thought it was Shen Congfeng who ordered Concubine Li to poison father, but the incense that Concubine Li prepared for father has the effect of saving his life. If she wanted to kill father, why would she save him? So I suspect someone else poisoned him. If it wasn't the Third Brother's party who ordered it, then the only possibility is the Second Brother's party. It just so happens that Brother Wei found out in his early years that Concubine Rong had a childhood friend before she entered the palace. She was also a famous poison master in the world, and was best at making this difficult-to-detect chronic poison."

"Noble Concubine Rong has been favored for many years, but I didn't expect that she would be the first to take action in the end."

"Compared to this, what's more difficult for me to accept is whether my second brother also knows about this."

"It has come to this, Fifth Brother, you can't let your emotions get the better of you."

"I see."

In fact, Xue Huang still has another doubt, that is, if the second prince and Shen Congfeng reached a cooperation, then what situation is the third prince in now?

But she didn't have time to think about it, as the sound of fierce fighting came from not far away.

There were flames everywhere, bright red as if stained with blood.

Tan Zheng came in to report that the cavalry battalion led by Gu Qinglan encountered a powerful enemy at the palace gate.

If the Cavalry Battalion cannot hold out, the palace will surely fall.

"Send a message to Prince Gu, telling him not to fight any longer and to retreat to Tai'an Palace." said Mo Ruilin.

"I'll go." Xue Huang said.

Rong Yu nodded, "Be careful, I'm here."

Xue Huang immediately rushed to the palace gate, and Gu Qinglan was commanding the Cavalry Battalion to resist the enemy outside with all their might.

However, they underestimated the strength of Shen Congfeng's private army. The Cavalry Battalion did not have an advantage in numbers to begin with, and now it was even more vulnerable.

"Brother Qinglan." Xue Huang forced the enemy back with a sword and came in front of him, "No need to fight, retreat to Tai'an Palace."

"Does Your Highness have other plans?"

"I guess he makes his own point."

"Where's my second uncle?"

"I'm going to help Brother Xuyao. He will meet up with us later."

"Then let's retreat quickly."

"Okay." Gu Qinglan nodded, and immediately led the Cavalry Battalion to retreat, all the way to the front of Tai'an Palace.

Soon, all the troops that could be mobilized gathered together, set up guard posts, and were ready to kill the enemy.

"Your Highness, with our current number, it is impossible to stop Shen Congfeng. You asked me to retreat here. Do you think there are other reinforcements?" Gu Qinglan asked.

Mo Ruilin glanced at Xue Huang and said, "This reinforcement may not arrive in time. We need to buy time."

Xue Huang was a little confused, "Why are you looking at me?"

"rely on you."
