Chapter 194 He is back!
"What!" Xiao Zirui was horrified. "How could this happen? Let me go!"
Yun Bailian, who was originally beside her, took a breath, her face turned pale, and she involuntarily took a few steps back.
The other people in the hall were also startled and subconsciously moved away from him with fear in their eyes.
Yun Qingqing sneered and looked at the Imperial Master:
"Aren't you going to slay the demons? Why don't you do it now?"
The Imperial Master pointed at her with trembling lips:
"You, what are you doing..."
The Queen interrupted him sharply:
"This witch is very powerful and ruthless. Why waste your time talking to her? Commander Dou, quickly, quickly capture this witch!"
Xiao Zirui also came back to his senses and shouted to the leader of the Imperial Guards:
"Quick! Aren't there five thousand imperial guards on standby outside? Give the order now!"
Commander Dou immediately took the order and at a command, a large number of imperial guards rushed into the hall, surrounded Yun Qingqing in a black mass and separated her from the others.
She glanced from Commander Dou to Xiao Zirui coldly:
"It's only been a few days since the Regent's accident. First, the Emperor fell into a coma, and then you secretly replaced the generals to take control of the Imperial Guards. Xiao Zirui, are you so impatient?"
Xiao Zirui gritted his teeth and said:
"I have been protecting the emperor with all my heart. It is you, the witch, who killed the emperor's uncle and caused my father to be seriously ill. I had no choice but to take over the imperial guards! How can I allow you to make up stories out of thin air!"
"Commander Dou, why don't you take her down!"
Yun Qingqing was filled with anger.
She saw that the old emperor was possessed by evil spirits and was about to die, so she didn't want to fight with the imperial master's magic weapon just now, and directly used her ultimate move, which consumed a lot of energy.
I didn’t expect that Xiao Zirui would dare to privately mobilize the imperial guards!
Although she was not afraid of these imperial guards, there were many limitations on using mystical arts against ordinary people. In today's situation, it would definitely cause backlash, causing minor injuries or even affecting her foundation.
However, if he didn't take action, it was unclear whether the old emperor could hold on until Xiao Changheng arrived.
She clenched her fist tightly, raised her hand and bit her finger, preparing to draw a talisman in the air.
At this moment, an angry shout suddenly came from outside the palace:
"I wonder who dares to touch her!"
The sound was quite far away, but it made everyone tremble. The imperial guards who had just rushed to Yun Qingqing stopped their actions and looked outside the hall in shock.
Yun Qingqing paused, withdrew her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
There was the sound of approaching footsteps. After a moment, the imperial guards blocking the palace made way for a passage, and an imposing man in a wheelchair appeared in everyone's sight.
Behind him was a large number of soldiers, they were the Huben Battalion stationed in the imperial city!
"Regent, Regent..." Commander Dou's face turned pale.
The others looked at the regent who suddenly appeared in disbelief, with different expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, a figure rushed to the entrance of the hall, knelt down, and cried:
"Your Excellency, you are back! You are really alright! God is so kind... Your Excellency, please go and see the Emperor. He has been ill since the day he heard that you died for your country. He misses you every day in his coma..."
It was Li Liangui, the chief eunuch who had served the emperor all his life.
After his shout, the others finally came to their senses and bowed down and shouted "Greetings, the Regent".
Xiao Changheng had a cold face and frowned. Without saying a word, he came to Yun Qingqing, pulled her to his side, and without saying a word, he raised his hand and a gust of wind attacked Xiao Zirui directly.
Xiao Zirui was still tied up by the "Monster Binding Rope" and couldn't escape at all. He was thrown more than ten feet away, with blood oozing from the corners of his lips.
Yun Bailian was standing behind the prince. When she saw him flying over, she screamed and dodged without thinking.
"Ahem...Uncle..." Xiao Zirui's face turned pale. He just squeezed out two words before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Yun Qingqing looked at Xiao Changheng's murderous expression and reached out to gently squeeze his hand:
"We can talk about other things later. Let's go see the emperor first."
Xiao Changheng held her hand tightly and closed his eyes, and the murderous intent in his body gradually subsided.
He pulled Yun Qingqing straight towards the dragon bed. Everyone made way for them and no one dared to speak.
The Queen finally came to her senses and pointed at Xiao Changheng and said fearfully:
"You, are you a human or a ghost... Master Imperial Master, is he a fake regent created by a witch?"
Xiao Changheng's eyes became fierce again.
But before he could open his mouth, the Imperial Master suddenly burst into tears and shouted:
"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding! The princess is not a monster!"
He stared at Yun Qingqing intently, with a hint of respect on his face:
"May I ask, Princess Princess, are you...are you the heir of the Seven Stars Palace?"
"Um?"
Yun Qingqing was puzzled.
"What Seven Stars Palace?"
