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 aren't you doing it?"
The Imperial Master pointed at her with trembling lips:
"W-why are you…"
The Queen interrupted him sharply:
"This witch is so powerful and ruthless, why waste time talking to her! Commander Dou, quickly, quickly capture this witch!"
Xiao Zirui also came back to his senses and shouted to the leading imperial guard commander:
"Quick! Aren't the five thousand imperial guards already on standby outside? Give the order now!"
Commander Dou immediately took the order and with a command, a large number of imperial guards rushed into the hall, surrounding Yun Qingqing in a black mass and isolating her from the others.
She glanced at Commander Dou and then looked coldly at Xiao Zirui:
"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 general to take control of the Imperial Guards. Xiao Zirui, are you so impatient?"
Xiao Zirui gritted his teeth and said:
"I was solely dedicated to protecting the Emperor. It was you, this enchantress, who murdered the Emperor's uncle and caused my father to fall seriously ill. I was forced to take over the Imperial Guards! How could I allow you to frame me with such baseless lies?"
"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 get entangled with the imperial master's magic weapon and directly used her ultimate move, which consumed a lot of energy.
I didn’t expect that Xiao Zirui would dare to mobilize the imperial guards privately!
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 a backlash, causing injuries at best and affecting the foundation at worst.
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 hall:
"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. A moment later, the imperial guards blocking the outside of 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, who were none other than the Huben Battalion stationed in the imperial city!
"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 door of the hall and knelt down, crying:
"Your Excellency, Regent, you're back! You're truly alright! God is truly merciful... Your Excellency, please go and see the Emperor. He's been ill ever since he heard you died for your country, and he's been missing you every day in his coma..."
It was Li Liangui, the chief eunuch who had served the emperor all his life.
After he shouted, the others finally came to their senses and bowed down and shouted "Greetings, Regent".
Xiao Changheng frowned coldly and came to Yun Qingqing without saying a word. He pulled her to his side and raised his hand without saying a word. A strong wind blew straight towards Xiao Zirui.
Xiao Zirui was still tied up by the "Demon Binding Rope" and couldn't escape at all. He was pulled and thrown more than ten feet away, with blood oozing from the corner of his lips.
Yun Bailian was standing behind the prince. When she saw him flying towards her, she screamed and dodged without thinking.
"Cough...Uncle..." Xiao Zirui's face was pale. He just squeezed out two words and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yun Qingqing looked at Xiao Changheng's murderous face 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, closed his eyes, and the murderous intent in his body subsided a little.
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:
"Are you a human or a ghost? Master Imperial Master, could he be a fake regent conjured up by a witch?"
Xiao Changheng's eyes became fierce again.
But before he could speak, the Imperial Master suddenly burst into tears and shouted:
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! The princess is not a monster!"
He stared at Yun Qingqing intently, with a look 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 Star Hall?"
