Chapter 191 Changes in the Imperial City
The team that came from the Imperial Capital to "welcome" the Regent's return to the court has indeed arrived.
The coffin board they brought was really made of imperial wood. It was said that the old emperor loved his brother as much as his own life, and even if it violated the etiquette, he would use the best coffin to bring him back.
As a result, when the Minister of Rites entered the city with a full set of ceremonial guards, he happened to meet the Regent who was leading a large army in triumph. Not only did he annihilate the 200,000 soldiers of Xilan, forcing the barbarians to send a letter of surrender overnight, but he also incorporated more than 10,000 remaining soldiers alive.
I was shocked.
The Minister of Rites was shocked, but also heaved a long sigh of relief.
The Regent, the pillar of support, is safe and sound. He feels relieved. This is also great news for Daliang.
He originally wanted to change the ceremonial procession into the prince's travel ceremonies to welcome the regent back to the capital.
However, when Xiao Changheng heard that the emperor had vomited blood, he and Yun Qingqing set off on horseback that same day.
Yun Qingqing knew that he was so worried about the emperor that he wanted to fly back, so she used the Wind-Speed Talisman Array again.
The two of them only brought Nan Zheng and a few guards with them, which was not too much of a burden for her now, and they returned to the capital in one day.
Yun Qingqing was stunned when she saw the gate of Imperial Capital from afar.
"Wait a moment." She reined in her horse and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Changheng also stopped immediately and asked.
Yun Qingqing looked solemn:
"The luck above the palace is in disarray. I'm afraid something has happened in the palace."
Xiao Changheng's face changed, and he looked at the city gate for a moment with a solemn look, and said:
"Qingqing, I have a villa in the suburbs of Beijing. Go there and wait for my news. Nanzheng will escort you there."
Yun Qingqing's eyes did not move away from the sky above the imperial city, and she remained silent.
"Princess, let me escort you to the villa first." Nan Zheng said.
She retracted her gaze and handed Xiao Changheng two talismans:
"Keep this one close to you. If you encounter something you can't handle, burn this one immediately."
Xiao Changheng knew what she meant by "things that cannot be handled", and immediately nodded and accepted the talisman.
He watched Yun Qingqing follow the guards and leave towards the villa, then he turned his horse around and galloped off in another direction.
…
The villa was not far away. As soon as Yun Qingqing arrived, she said she wanted to rest and forbade anyone to disturb her, then she closed the door tightly.
But she didn't really rest. Instead, she took out a magic talisman and activated it, and her figure disappeared on the spot.
A moment later, she appeared in an empty corner outside the emperor's bedroom.
Just now she followed Xiao Changheng's arrangement, just because she didn't want to waste time talking too much. After observing at such a close distance, Yun Qingqing has basically confirmed her previous guess.
She walked out and headed straight for the main entrance of the bedroom.
"Who dares to trespass into the palace?"
As soon as he came within sight of the eunuch on duty, he heard a loud shout.
Yun Qingqing was not surprised. After all, she did not enter the palace through the main gate, and no one guided her.
She stopped and said to the eunuch guarding the door:
"Please inform His Majesty that the Princess Regent requests an audience."
"Regent Princess?" The two eunuchs on duty looked at Yun Qingqing in amazement.
"... She is... really the Regent Princess, but... "
"But the princess is not..."
Yun Qingqing looked at the two people who were stuttering and unable to utter a complete sentence, and realized that something was wrong.
The emperor's attendants must first remember the members of the royal family. Especially since she is the regent princess, she is not an unknown person, so these eunuchs guarding the door must naturally recognize her.
So what's the reason for their reaction now?
No matter what, we have to see the emperor as soon as possible.
Her face darkened and she was about to scold him when she saw one of the eunuchs said in panic:
"Princess, please wait a moment. I will report to you right away!"
After saying this, he ran into the hall.
Yun Qingqing frowned, not intending to wait any longer, and walked into the hall.
"Princess, you can't break in..." Another eunuch tried to stop her in a panic.
But he didn't dare to get close to Yun Qingqing at all. He was frightened and stepped back when she glared at him.
Yun Qingqing snorted coldly and went straight into the inner hall.
