Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Bai Yichen, dressed in white, stood quietly beside the dim dragon bed, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could penetrate the layers of fog and reach the depths of the emperor's soul.

There was a faint smile on his face, which revealed a bit of mystery and confidence.

The emperor opened his eyes in a daze and was shocked when he saw Bai Yichen, but then he felt relieved.

He thought it was just another dream. Such a godlike figure could only be seen in dreams.

The emperor sighed softly and was about to close his eyes to continue his dream, but he heard Bai Yichen, whom he regarded as a fairy in his dream, whispered: "Your Majesty, you are not dreaming. Bai Yichen has come specially to save you."

The emperor's eyes suddenly widened as if they were about to burst. He used all his strength to support his body. He struggled to sit up, but because his body was too weak, he eventually fell down powerlessly.

He stared at Bai Yichen in astonishment, and spoke in a trembling and weak voice, "You... Bai Yichen? You are not an immortal? Then who are you? Why are you here?"

Who is Bai Yichen? The emperor has never heard of this person.

Although he was forced by Prince Jing's men to take a chronic poison, and his health was deteriorating day by day, his mind was clear. To be able to enter Prince Jing's bedroom under his careful planning, he must be no ordinary person.

At this moment, the emperor was filled with endless doubts and surprise. He thought his end was near, but he never expected that at this critical moment, he would see a completely unfamiliar face, who said he was here to save him.

So, his mind began to automatically recall the past, trying to find clues about Bai Yichen's true identity.

He wondered, who could this person be? I'd never heard of him before. He could break into my chambers so easily; he must possess extraordinary skills. Could he be sent by Prince Jing? However, Prince Jing's men would never come to my rescue. If they were deceiving me for Prince Jing's sake, they wouldn't act this way. So, who was this person?

The emperor's eyes were fixed on Bai Yichen like a hawk, trying to grasp something from his expression, words, and actions. However, his heart was like a turbulent sea, unable to calm down.

Wait, what did this person just say?

Come here specially to rescue you?

Is he here to save himself?

After all, he had been a king for decades, and after making a quick judgment, he no longer worried about who the visitor was. Even if it was a deity from a dream, and the person came to save him, he would cooperate.

Furthermore, looking at his appearance, he seems to have no ill intentions. Could it be that he really came here specifically to rescue me? However, how can I trust him so easily?

For a moment, the emperor's heart became extremely conflicted and entangled.

On the one hand, the emperor was filled with endless curiosity and doubts about the mysterious Bai Yichen; on the other hand, facing life and death, he was extremely eager to get a glimmer of hope.

Having made up his mind, he calmed himself down.

He struggled to sit up, but Bai Yichen raised his hand to stop him.

So, he silently warned himself in his heart: "I am not dreaming, but someone really came to save me."

No matter who this Bai Yichen is, as long as he has the ability to save himself from danger, he must seize this rare opportunity.

The emperor took a deep breath, trying his best to keep his tone steady and calm, and asked, "You keep saying you want to save me, but do you have any good plans? Besides, why should I trust you?"

His sharp eyes revealed a resolute and courageous expression. At this moment, he resolutely decided to put aside all his concerns for the time being and choose to cooperate with Bai Yichen, at least to get out of the predicament before making further plans.

Thinking back on the thirty years he had been a king, inheriting the great foundation created by the previous emperor, the emperor sighed. Although he was not a foolish ruler, he had not achieved any major achievements either.

Bai Yichen had no idea what the emperor was thinking. He smiled confidently and said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've been entrusted by someone to come and help you. As for the trust, Your Majesty will know later."

After saying this, he took out a pill from his sleeve and handed it to the emperor's lips. "This pill can temporarily relieve the poison in your body, allowing you to recover some strength, and it can also protect your life."

Although the emperor was skeptical, he had no choice but to believe the man in front of him who called himself Bai Yichen.

He took the pill and swallowed it with difficulty. He felt a warm current rising from his dantian, and all his limbs seemed to be nourished. His originally weak body gradually gained strength.

A hint of clarity flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Bai Yichen with surprise, and felt a little more trust in Bai Yichen in his heart.

"Does the emperor trust me now?" Bai Yichen asked with a smile.

The Emperor nodded. "Thank you very much for saving my life, Young Master. I wonder if you could tell me what the situation is like in the palace right now?"

"Your Majesty, the capital is now heavily guarded. It's no exaggeration to say it's like an iron barrel. Probably not even a mosquito can fly in." Bai Yichen said solemnly, "As for the palace...Princess Wan'er is also under house arrest in the harem."

"Wan'er? Yes, judging by the time, the army he sent to fetch Wan'er should have arrived. But... oh well!

As for the people who were sent to pick up Miss Xueyao, their whereabouts were unknown. Needless to say, they couldn't enter the city.

The emperor was furious. "How dare Prince Jing be so audacious!" His eyes dimmed. "I must thoroughly investigate this matter and severely punish the murderer!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter still needs to be considered carefully. The other party dared to take action in the palace, so they must have something to rely on. We need to deal with it carefully." Bai Yichen advised.

The emperor agreed with this. He looked at Bai Yichen with gratitude and unknowingly gained a bit more trust in him.

He sighed and said, "Young Master, you are absolutely right. I am grateful for your help now. I wonder if you would be willing to stay in the palace and help me eliminate the treacherous villains?"

He felt that the young man in front of him had this ability.

Bai Yichen raised his lips slightly, "Your Majesty, I am a friend of Miss Xueyao. She has entrusted me to come and rescue you. She will make all the arrangements for the rest."

Miss Xueyao? He didn’t know why, but upon hearing the name “Miss Xueyao,” the emperor felt inexplicably relieved.

The Emperor said, "Thank you, Master Bai! May I ask where Miss Xueyao is now? Is she safe? Why hasn't she come?"

Bai Yichen replied, "Miss Xueyao has gone to rescue Princess Wan'er. She is worried about the safety of the emperor and has sent me here. Your Majesty, please rest assured that Miss Xueyao has arranged everything. We will be able to rescue you from this dangerous situation soon."

A touch of emotion and trust flashed in the emperor's eyes. He nodded and said, "If this really succeeds, Miss Xueyao and you will both be my saviors. I will definitely reward her handsomely."

Bai Yichen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing for us right now is to leave here first and find a safe place before making any plans."

The emperor nodded, then a look of worry appeared on his face: "Prince Jing... he has a large army and controls the palace. Can we really succeed?"

Bai Yichen nodded and said firmly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured! It can be done."

Then, Bai Yichen took out a black cloak from his arms, gently draped it over the emperor, and whispered, "Your Majesty, please follow me."

There was a hint of surprise on the emperor's face, but more of gratitude and trust.

However, before he could finish nodding, he felt like a gust of wind, leaving the bedroom that had been with him for many years.
