I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 178: King Cheng is poisoned?

There was a panic in the hall. Everyone wanted to rush out, but the door of the hall was suddenly closed. There was a heavy muffled sound, and the door closed tightly. At the same time, many men in black jumped down from the surroundings of the hall, with fierce eyes in each of them.

The person who mixed in with the palace maids and eunuchs no longer disguised himself. He took out a dagger and killed the palace maid and eunuch who was closest to him.

"what!!!"

There was another round of screams. Li Lingxuan and Pei Zhijin looked at the chaos in front of them, but their eyes were calm. Pei Zhijin looked at Li Lingxuan and said, "My Lord, it's your turn."

Li Lingxuan glanced at Pei Zhijin, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then his brows suddenly frowned, and he suddenly squatted down, holding his abdomen. Pei Zhijin immediately shouted, "Protect the prince!"

Everyone looked over and saw Li Lingxuan squatting on the ground with a frown on his brows. It seemed like something was moving on his handsome face. When Li Lingchen saw this, he hurried over anxiously.

"Lingxuan, how are you?" Li Lingchen asked with concern.

When Li Lingxuan raised his head, blood had already grown on his face. He looked at Li Lingchen in disbelief, "Brother, I..."

Li Lingchen was startled, and hurriedly supported Li Lingxuan and comforted him, "It's okay, you will be fine."

The Queen Mother looked at the expression on Li Lingxuan's face from afar, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth inadvertently. It was really that God was helping her, and King Cheng died in this Qinghua Palace today. Concubine Rou, I said that I would definitely send your son to reunite with you.

Li Lingchen looked at Pei Zhijin anxiously, "Why don't you do it?"

Pei Zhijin bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the time has not come yet."

"What do you mean by the time has come? Will it be counted only when King Cheng dies?"

Pei Zhijin was choked with speech. He didn't expect that the emperor cared so much about King Cheng.

There was also a flash of surprise in Li Lingxuan's eyes, but whether it was fake or from the heart was unknown.

"Ugh!" Li Lingxuan spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.

"Lingxuan!" Li Lingchen became anxious. Looking at Li Lingxuan lying weakly in his arms with blood at the corners of his mouth, his eyes, which should have been sharp, became dull at this moment.

Li Lingchen suddenly panicked, remembering the snowy night when Li Lingxuan had a fever when he was a child. He almost...almost lost his younger brother.

"Ling Xuan, don't be afraid, brother is here, you will be fine."

Li Lingxuan's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then became deep. It seemed like... he hadn't lay in his arms like this for many years.

Lin Yanfu searched for Lin Yiyi in the chaotic hall. After making sure that she was not in the hall, he felt relieved and then protected Zeng Qin and Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan started crying out of fear and kept pulling Zeng Qin, saying that she wanted to go out.

Zeng Qin was also frightened and at a loss as to what to do, but she was the mistress of a family after all, so she could only try to calm herself down. While comforting Lin Wanwan, she looked at Lin Yanfu and said, "Master, where are all the guards in the palace? Isn't General Xuan the commander in chief? Why didn't he come to protect the emperor?"

Lin Yanfu looked at Zeng Qin, obviously also very puzzled, but the hall was already in such a commotion, and no one came in, so he must be afraid that...

Then he frowned and said to Zeng Qin, "You guys hide here." Then he walked towards Li Lingchen.

Suddenly, a series of laughs rang out in the hall.

“Hahahahaha….hahaha….”

The noisy sounds in the hall seemed to be drowned out by the laughter. In the crowded hall, only the laughter could be heard, which stopped in front of Li Lingchen and Li Lingxuan with a smug and arrogant attitude.

Pei Zhijin immediately drew his sword and protected the two of them.

Zhan Jing was wearing guards' clothes, with his hair half-covered and his left eye covered with a gold-rimmed eye patch. With his right eye, he looked at Li Lingxuan's dying expression, then grinned and spread his hands proudly, saying, "Li Lingxuan, how is it? This time, this general won."

Li Lingchen looked at the smug Zhan Jing in front of him with murderous intent in his eyes, "Do you guys in Mobei country just like to do things like taking advantage of others in distress?"

Zhan Jing laughed, "Hahaha, Li Lingxuan, I heard that you two were not on good terms before, but now... I think you two have a good relationship. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, the world would have been deceived by you."

Li Lingxuan held his abdomen and forced himself to sit up from Li Lingchen's arms. "How many people did you plant in the palace?"

"Oh... that's too much."

One of the ministers couldn't stand Zhan Jing's look and loudly rebuked him, "You Mobei country are treacherous and broke your promise first, you will be punished by heaven!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black raised the knife in his hand and swung it at the minister. Blood spurted out from his body and splashed all over the ground. The women present had never seen such a bloody scene and they squatted down in fear. Even some concubines of lower ranks were frightened at this time.

Zhan Jing put his hands on his waist, and with a threatening look he cast at the people around him, he said in a cold voice: "From now on, if anyone makes a sound, they will be close to death."

After hearing this, Li Lingxuan suddenly laughed softly, "Hehe..."

Zhan Jing looked at Li Lingxuan fiercely and said, "You are about to die, and you are still laughing?"

Li Lingxuan looked at Zhan Jing with disdain in his eyes and said, "Are all your people here?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is..." Li Lingxuan suddenly stood up from the ground with a fierce look in his eyes, and said with contempt, "You are not far from death."

Zhan Jing was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief. He took two steps back and then realized that he had fallen into a trap. He wanted to leave immediately.

The door of the hall was suddenly knocked open, and Zhan Jing's men outside were kicked in. Zhan Jing looked panicked and hurriedly shouted to the men in black: "Retreat!"

Xuan Yi was wearing silver-grey armor, his hand resting on the sword at his waist. His burly figure blocked the door and shouted, "Catch these spies!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many guards rushed in from behind him and a fight suddenly broke out in the hall. The ministers' families and concubines were all protected by the guards and left Qinghua Hall safely.

In the main hall, Hong Fu still stayed beside Li Lingchen, observing everything in the hall at any time to protect the emperor's safety.

Li Lingxuan leisurely brushed off the unnecessary dust on his robe. The flowers that had just grown on his face were gone. There was no expression on his face, only an expression that he understood everything.

Li Lingchen was relieved when he saw that Li Lingxuan was fine, "Lingxuan, I'm so glad that you're okay."

Li Lingxuan looked at Li Lingchen calmly, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

A complex emotion flashed across Li Lingchen's eyes.

His younger brother is still so smart, I'm afraid I will never be able to compare to him.

Pei Zhijin and Zhan Jing were evenly matched in the fight, and it was unclear who would win for a while. The only sound that could be heard in the hall was the sound of swords clashing.
