He knew only too well that Mo Yun was at the end of his tether. If he left, Mo Yun would surely notice, and by then...
He was old. If he died, that would be that. But Bai Haoyu was different. The Bai family must have an heir. Otherwise, he would have no face to meet his ancestors after his death!
Bai Haoyu was startled. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He never thought the situation would be so grim!
"Dad, what about you?"
Bai Hanfei's eyes were full of helplessness. "Don't worry about me. Remember, don't return to the capital without my order!"
If they lost, the Bai family would still have an heir. If they won, the Bai family would gain even more glory.
However, he knew only too well that the latter possibility was extremely slim.
Bai Haoyu's heart sank. For his father to say such things, it showed how serious the situation in the capital had become.
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Bai Hanfei. "I'm just taking precautions. Don't worry. Find a place to settle down and don't contact me."
Having said that, Bai Hanfei seemed to age several years in an instant. He waved at Bai Haoyu. "Go. Take good care of your mother."
Actually, he didn't want Bai Haoyu to take this "burden" with him. But thinking of their decades of marriage, he said no more.
"Father, maybe there's another way?"
The current emperor was like a wall on the verge of collapse with everyone pushing. He was clearly at the end of his strength. Why should the Bai family still be so persistent?
Thinking of this, Bai Haoyu summoned up his courage and said to Bai Hanfei, "Father, the emperor's power is waning. Prince Guoan is the safest choice. Even if we don't defect to him, the Bai family can just remain neutral."
In this way, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
However, Bai Hanfei sighed and shook his head. His eyes were full of helplessness. "It's not that simple. I've made up my mind. Go."
If it were really as he said, it would be fine. But the Bai family and Mo Yun rose and fell together. The Bai family had also been involved in that incident back then. Mo Liandi would never let the Bai family off.
A complex look flashed across Bai Haoyu's eyes. "Father, everyone acts in their own self - interest. At this point, why still care about those things?"
Bai Hanfei shook his head. His eyes were full of dejection. "Even if the Bai family wants to withdraw now, there's no chance. Prince Guoan won't let us go. Staying with the emperor might still give us a glimmer of hope!"
"Stop talking. Leave quickly!"
Bai Haoyu pursed his lips and said no more. "Take care, Father!"
"Yeah, go. The farther the better."
The night sky was low. Occasionally, a few stars flashed, their light becoming more and more intense. The darkness could hardly hold on.
After a while, a brilliant Milky Way appeared in the night sky.
Mo Liandi looked at the beautiful woman sleeping in his arms. His heart was full of reluctance, but he still got up and left. He summoned two secret guards to hide in the shadows and guard.
Just as he stepped out of the room, two figures appeared in his sight.
Ye Zhe said respectfully, "Your Highness, Bai Haoyu is leaving the capital. Should we intercept him?"
Mo Liandi said coldly, "That old fox has good ideas. No need. Someone will take action."
He thought Mo Yun would never let them go.
The fight between the dogs would be a wonderful show.
At this time, the man standing beside him also stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Mo Liandi. "This subordinate pays respects to Your Highness."
Mo Liandi nodded indifferently. "Well, you should know why I called you back."
Ye Lin nodded respectfully. "This subordinate will never disappoint Your Highness!"
However, he was also extremely curious. What did the woman who had bewitched the prince look like?
Mo Liandi nodded and led him into the room.
The bright moonlight shone down. The beautiful woman on the bed looked even paler, yet there was a strange beauty about her.
A soft light flashed in Mo Liandi's eyes. He stepped forward and lowered his voice a little. "She's been sleeping more and more these days. Think of a way as soon as possible."
It was the first time Ye Lin had seen Mo Liandi like this. He couldn't help being startled. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He stepped forward respectfully. "Please rest assured, Your Highness. This subordinate will do his best to treat the princess."
"Not just do your best. I want you to save her for sure."
Ye Lin trembled in his heart and nodded respectfully. "Yes!"
Then he stepped forward respectfully and carefully felt Liu Rumei's pulse. His brows instantly frowned tightly.
It was so serious!
He had seen many difficult and complicated diseases, but he had never seen a case like Liu Rumei's. For a moment, his curiosity grew stronger.
He quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Mo Liandi. "The princess may not have much time left. This is the pill refined by this subordinate. Take one pill every day to protect the princess's heart - meridian."
Otherwise, before he could research the blood - transfusion method, Liu Rumei might be dead.
Mo Liandi nodded. "Okay."
Ye Lin knew that time was of the essence. He quickly went to find Ye Zhe.
Mo Liandi fed the pill in his hand to Liu Rumei and then slipped away.
Ye Lin stroked his chin and followed beside Ye Zhe. "The princess is really beautiful. No wonder the prince is smitten. It's the first time I've seen the prince like that... It's really disgusting."
"By the way, Ye Zhe, tell me something about the princess."
"You're the best. You stay by the prince's side all day without having to endure the hardships of travel. I'm so exhausted."
"When do you think the prince will take action? I've disliked that guy for a long time."
"How's Xue Zhan? I've done my best. Why is he so timid?"
"By the way, is the princess really a coroner? Awesome! No wonder she's the one the prince has taken a fancy to!"
Listening to this man chattering in his ear, Ye Zhe felt extremely annoyed. If it weren't for the princess being on the verge of death, he really wouldn't have been willing to transfer this man back.
"Shut up!"
Ye Lin pursed his lips. His eyes were full of innocence. "We hardly ever see each other. Can't we be a bit friendlier?"
The words on his lips were about to pour out, but he suddenly felt a chill on his lips. Looking closely, he found that Ye Zhe's sword had been unsheathed and was pressed against his lips!
He was instantly furious, but then he suddenly noticed that Ye Zhe's gaze was fixed on a place not far away.
Subconsciously looking in that direction, he saw a maid squatting behind a rockery. There was a brazier in front of her. She was muttering something. Her dark eyes were extremely bright in the night.
Ye Lin immediately became happy. "Who is this? She's quite interesting."
