Chapter 2262 Return
"Check everything."
"Lord Qian, the city gate has been closed."
"Okay, we have to turn the entire city upside down to find the assassin."
Huohuang leaned against the door and watched the soldiers looking for people everywhere. He knew that those people would find them here soon.
Even if everyone is killed, they cannot be allowed to enter the inn, but this will definitely expose their whereabouts.
He could only lure them away.
Just as the Fire Phoenix was about to move, a shout suddenly came from not far away, "Who are you?"
"emperor?"
"The Emperor...is back!"
What? Huohuang was stunned for a moment. Has Bei Tangyu returned to establish the capital?
He hurriedly followed from the other side.
The inn on the next street was surrounded by soldiers inside and out. The person standing outside the inn door was indeed Beitang Yu.
Beitang Yu stood there tall and tall, looking coldly at the soldiers surrounding him, "Are you here to arrest me?"
The soldiers were probably frightened and did not expect to see Beitang Yu here. They were all dumbfounded. They came to their senses after Beitang Yu shouted and knelt down to salute, "Long live the emperor!"
"Who are you looking for?" Beitang Yu asked coldly. He only returned to Dingdu City this morning. No one knew about his return. These soldiers were obviously not here for him.
Qian Shiming, who led the troops to search, came over from behind. The moment he saw Bei Tangyu, his face suddenly turned ugly, "Your Majesty?"
"Who are you?" Bei Tangyu recognized this man wearing the official uniform of the commander of the Royal Forest Army and looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes.
"My name is Qian Shiming, and he is... the current commander of the Royal Forest Army. He learned that the emperor was back and came here to greet him." Qian Shiming turned quickly and immediately said that he was searching for the whereabouts of Queen Wang and that he was here to pick up Beitang Yu.
Bei Tangyu sneered, how could he believe this Qian Shiming's nonsense!
"Your Majesty, this man seems to be Qian Danqing's nephew." Fang Rusheng recognized Qian Shiming's identity and whispered to Beitang Yu. He was originally supporting the prince. With so many things happening, he had long been concerned about the Qian family and the prince. I don't dare to hope anymore, it's better to be loyal to the emperor.
"Where is Wang Guanghua?" Beitang Yu asked in a deep voice. Wang Guanghua was the original commander of the Royal Forest Army.
Qian Shiming's expression flashed with nervousness. He was indeed nervous. Queen Wang suddenly disappeared from the palace tonight, and the prince and uncle have not come back yet. If they are here, there is nothing to be afraid of even if the emperor comes back.
"Master Wang... he did things poorly, and the eldest prince removed him from his position as commander." Qian Shiming said in a low voice.
Absolutely impossible! It is absolutely impossible for the eldest prince to do this, that is his uncle!
"How can things go wrong if things are not going well?" Beitang Yu asked, "How long have I been back in Dingdu City? You are just here to welcome me now. Do you think I am a fool to be fooled?"
Qian Shiming swallowed, unable to hide the fear on his face, "I don't dare!"
"Sealing the city gate in the middle of the night and looking for people everywhere, something must have happened in the palace." Shen Yi said sarcastically from behind Beitang Yu.
Bei Tangyu remembered the news about the disappearance of the eldest prince. Today he returned to Dingdu City and did not return to the palace immediately because he wanted to know the situation secretly. He wanted to meet with a few confidants first, but the confidants had not met yet, but Qian The family members showed up first.
Qian Shiming raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Yi, thinking about what to do next. If the emperor entered the palace and found that the queen and the eldest prince were missing, he would definitely be furious, and the Qian family would definitely suffer.
If only uncle were here.
There don’t seem to be many people around the emperor...
Anyway, the Qian family has already reached this point, so why not deal with the emperor? Isn’t it that no one in Dingdu City knows about Beitang Yu’s return?
Qian Shiming had just begun to feel the murderous intention in his heart when he heard a voice coming from behind him, "Welcome the Emperor back to the capital!"
When Bei Tangyu heard this familiar voice, his face finally looked better. It was his shadow guard who had arrived.
"Your Majesty, you are finally back." Two cabinet ministers came with the Shadow Guard.
Qian Shiming clenched his fists and missed the opportunity!
"Go back to the palace first!" Bei Tangyu glanced at the two ministers and made sure that the news of his return would not be handled quietly, and then decided to return to the palace.
"Your Majesty!" Qian Shiming blurted out. He couldn't let Beitang Yu return to the palace at this time.
Bei Tangyu looked at him coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Is the emperor just going back to the palace like this? Why don't you wait until tomorrow... all the officials of the imperial court will respectfully welcome you back to the palace, so that the world can know that you have returned to Beiming Kingdom." Qian Shiming's mouth stiffened, and he racked his brains to come up with this excuse.
"Could it be that now that I'm back in the palace, everyone in the world won't know that I'm back?" Bei Tangyu asked lightly, ignoring Qian Shiming, and returned to the palace with the others.
When Huo Huang saw this, he knew that no one would search the inn again tonight, so he turned around and left with peace of mind.
Back at the inn, Xu Jinbei and the others were waiting at the door.
"Mingxi, what happened over there?" Xu Jinbei asked.
"Beitang Yu is back." Huohuang said, "He is preparing to return to the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Congzhi walked out and said, "What did you say, the emperor is back?"
Huohuang curled his lips and said, "Yes, but if those soldiers hadn't come out to search today, he probably wouldn't have returned to the palace so quickly."
"Great!" A cheerful smile appeared on Wang Congzhi's face. His sister would be very happy when she woke up. "I will send the queen back to the palace right away."
"My lord, the situation in the palace is still unclear. The eldest prince has not been found yet. I advise you to think twice before proceeding." Xu Jinbei said quickly.
Wang Congzhi was stunned for a moment, "You are right, we have to wait until the queen wakes up."
Lin Yanbei frowned and looked at Huo Huang, "Then, no one will come to search the inn tonight."
"Does the Qian family still have this intention now? Let's think about how to explain the excuse for Queen Wang to disappear from the palace." Huohuang said.
"Won't Beitang Yu let someone come out to search?" Lin Yanbei asked, "It's a pity that Mingxi hasn't woken up yet..."
Huohuang said, "I'm going to see Mingxi."
Wang Congzhi couldn't care too much at this time and went back to the room to guard Queen Wang.
Queen Wang fell into a coma because of the properties of the medicine. Mi'er gave her the antidote, and she slowly woke up.
"Sister, are you awake?" Wang Conzhi saw Queen Wang opening her eyes as she walked in, with a smile on her face.
"Who are you?" Queen Wang was startled by the old man in front of her and did not recognize him as Wang Congzhi.
Only then did Wang Congzhi remember that he was still in disguise, and he said, "It's me, Congzhi. I disguised myself to avoid the Qian family. Sister, please wait a moment while I wash the stuff off my face."
"Cong Zhi?" Queen Wang heard her brother's voice, and surprise flashed in her eyes.
