Originally, he was worried that it would take a lot of energy and time to take over the Imperial City Guard after arriving in Beilun County. Unexpectedly, the He Ruo clan had changed their minds and chose to support him.

Tuoba Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked worriedly, "How is Father now? Is everything okay?"

"It is said that the king has been ill in bed for a long time and is very weak." Hou Shanming frowned, "But a doctor has been sent to treat him, so he should be fine."

"That's good." Tuoba Yu exhaled again.

Worried about his father Tuoba Hong's health, Tuoba Yu did not delay and headed for the imperial city immediately after arriving in Beilun County.

He Yanxiu and others went there together.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the Imperial Guard He Ruobu came to greet them personally and led everyone into the palace.

Once they arrived at the palace, they were followed by the imperial guards. The troops led by Murong Jian and Tuyuhun Junhong, as well as the guards accompanying He Yanxiu and his party, were all waiting outside the palace. They only brought some personal guards, but only a few dozen people entered the palace together.

After passing through various palaces, the group arrived at the palace where Tuoba Hong lived.

The palace was decorated magnificently, with incense burners burning in every corner, emitting wisps of green smoke and a hint of sweet fragrance.

Su Yujin sniffed and rubbed her nose with her hand.

"What's wrong?" He Yanxiu secretly held Su Yujin's hand.

Although everything is going well now and he has many guards around him, he is still in the imperial palace of Beilun County. The situation in Xijinyun Kingdom is turbulent at the moment, so it is understandable that he feels uneasy.

"Nothing." Su Yujin put down her hand, "I just think the fragrance is a bit strong, and I've never smelled fragrance like this before."

"The Western Jinyun Kingdom is rich in spices, and many tribes are good at making spices. I guess these are spices used exclusively in the imperial palace and are not commonly seen outside." He Yanxiu guessed.

"Yeah." Su Yujin nodded.

As He Yanxiu said, the Western Jinyun Kingdom had a wide variety of spices and was good at making incense. Perhaps this was just a tradition within the royal family and burning incense was a must.

But even though she thought so, Su Yujin still felt very uncomfortable with the somewhat pungent smell. Seeing that He Yanxiu and Lu Wenjing were also frowning, Su Yujin opened the purse she carried with her and took out a few pills.

He put one in his mouth, and gave the rest to He Yanxiu and Lu Wenjing, "It's refreshing. It will feel better if you hold it in your mouth."

Since it was given by Su Yujin, the two of them didn't think much about it and just put the pill in their mouths as Su Yujin said.

There is mint in the pills. Once you take them, a cool feeling starts from the tip of your tongue and goes straight to your forehead. You feel refreshed and no longer find the incense unpleasant.

"The king is inside." He Ruobu led everyone inside.

When they reached the inner bedroom, they saw Tuoba Hong lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face haggard, and his breath weak.

Seeing his father, whom he had not seen for nearly a year, become like this, Tuoba Yu felt a lump in his throat and his eyes turned redder and redder.

Kneeling in front of Tuoba Hong's bed, Tuoba Yu whispered, "Father."

This sound was filled with heartache, shame and regret.

Tuoba Hong on the bed heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Tuoba Yu's face, he raised his hand with all his strength and touched Tuoba Yu's face. When he was sure that the person in front of him was really a living person, he burst into tears.

"Yu'er is finally back." Tuoba Hong said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, I am back." Tuoba Yu held Tuoba Hong's hand, which was like a dry branch at this time, and choked up, "Don't worry, father. I have gathered many tribes and will definitely help you take back the government and send Tuoba Duan to you for your punishment!"

Seeing that Tuoba Yu's words were firm, Tuoba Hong opened and closed his mouth again and again, but still said nothing. He just looked at Tuoba Yu with complicated eyes.

"Father is weak right now, don't worry too much, I will take care of everything." Tuoba Yu stood up, "I brought a miracle doctor with me this time, let her help Father, Father will get better soon."

Tuoba Yu moved aside and bowed to Su Yujin, "Thank you for your help."

Su Yujin bowed and nodded, leaned over to check on Tuoba Hong's condition, and reached out to feel his pulse.

As soon as he placed his finger on his pulse, Su Yujin's brows knitted together, "Hmm?"

Then he subconsciously took two steps back.

Seeing this, He Yanxiu hurriedly walked up to Su Yujin and protected her behind him.

"But what's wrong?" Tuoba Yu was extremely surprised when he saw this, and his heart tightened.

Could it be that the Emperor...

No way to save the situation?

"There is something wrong." Su Yujin gritted his teeth, his face full of vigilance. "This person's pulse is strong and powerful, and his body is healthy. He doesn't look like a terminally ill person at all. And when I checked his pupils just now, his eyes were clear, not like the eyes of an ordinary elderly person."

The person lying on the bed should not be Tuoba Hong!

He Yanxiu's heart suddenly sank, and his hands subconsciously clasped around his waist.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Tuoba Yu was also surprised, "What does this mean?"

"At this point, you still don't know what it means. This is enough to show that you, Tuoba Yu, are a complete fool."

After the words fell, Tuoba Duan walked out from behind the curtain slowly, glanced at everyone, and finally his mocking eyes fell on Tuoba Yu, "It can be seen that you are not worthy of ruling the government."

Tuoba Duan is here now?

Tuoba Yu looked gloomy.

Murong Jian, Tuyuhun Junhong and Hou Shanming were all shocked, "Why are you here?"

"If I am not here, where else should I be?" Tuoba Duan chuckled.

"Shut up!" Tuyuhun Junhong shouted, "You dare to call yourself the widower when the king is here?"

"If I am not worthy, who else is?" Tuoba Duan raised his hand and pointed at "Tuoba Hong" on the bed. "Could it be that you are talking about him?"

Upon hearing this, "Tuoba Hong" immediately stood up from the bed with swift and quick movements, and even reached out to tear off all the disguise on his face and arms.

After his original face was revealed, everyone could see clearly that this was not Tuoba Hong at all, but a young man whom they did not recognize, who looked like a guard.

The guard even walked up to Tuoba Duan and saluted respectfully, "My Lord."

"This was done well." Tuoba Duan said with a smile, "It fooled everyone."

The word "cheat" made everyone present feel pain in their hearts.

Tuoba Yu in particular shouted, "Tuoba Duan, where is our father now? What have you done to him?"

"Father?" Tuoba Duan glanced at Tuoba Yu. "Father is dying, there is no way to save him, so he has naturally passed away. I, the ruler of the country, inherited the throne from him."

Father...

Dead? Tuoba Yu was stunned for a long time, gnashing his teeth.
