Chapter 574 Return to Beijing

Zhao Shu was riding on horseback, looking ahead with indifferent eyes.

Yun Dai took it as his acquiescence.

She was just puzzled, wondering how he knew that she had an injury on her leg.

But the medicine came just in time.

Her wound was itchy and stinging, but she didn't dare to scratch it.

After applying the cool ointment, I felt much more comfortable.

"My lord, thank you." She said with a smile.

Zhao Shu didn't seem to hear, but his hand holding the rein loosened a little.

The journey went smoothly, without encountering any more dangers, nor did I meet the remnants of King Cheng. After a morning and half an afternoon's journey, I finally saw the gate of the capital from a distance.

There were ten times more guards at the city gate than usual, and all vehicles, horses and pedestrians going in and out had to go through extremely strict checks. Even a box of small snacks in the luggage has to be dug out, opened, and checked one by one.

Before getting close, I can already feel the tense and depressing atmosphere.

"Did something happen again?" Yun Dai poked her head out and asked.

Zhao Shu said: "Go and see."

The carriage slowly passed by, and the driver was about to line up and wait for the city gate guard to check.

Zhao Shu is not a person who can behave himself and wait for inspection.

He said "wait a while" and immediately drove forward.

After a while, two teams of guards followed Zhao Shu and came quickly to salute Yun Dai in the carriage.

Yun Dai looked at Zhao Shu with puzzled eyes.

Zhao Shu said: "The search of the city gate is strict, and it has something to do with you."

"I?"

"Yes." Zhao Shu explained, "I am going to pick you up this time. On the way, I ran into an ambush by the remaining party of King Cheng. The emperor was furious when he got the news. On the one hand, he sent people to look for you and me, and on the other hand, he also increased his troops. Wipe out all the remnants of the chaotic party."

Suddenly, Yun Dai looked at the captain of the gate guard and asked, "Do you know what's going on in the palace? Is Princess Yufu back?"

The captain of the city gate guard did not expect that the tall and beautiful concubine in the carriage would take the initiative to ask him a question.

He couldn't help being a little excited, and said loudly: "The humble official doesn't know much about the situation in the palace, I only know one thing, Princess Yufu returned to the palace safely yesterday!"

"Back safely?" Yun Dai burst into joy, "Where are others?"

Zhao Shu reminded her: "He is just a guard of the city gate. It is good to know a jade woman. How can he know other people's affairs. After returning to the palace, he will naturally know."

Yun Dai thought about it, yes.

She is so anxious that caring is chaotic.

"Go back to the palace immediately." She urged.

Zhao Shu said: "Wait a while, you can't go back to the palace in a rented carriage. The king has sent someone to fetch a sedan chair."

Although Yun Dai was impatient, she could only wait patiently.

Fortunately, King Qin's people were quick to deliver a small sedan chair carried by four people. Yun Dai pulled Yan'er into the sedan chair, walked through the city gate, and headed towards the palace.

A guard has already rushed to the palace to notify.

Soon, everyone in the palace got the news.

Qin Wang Zhao Shu, Concubine Yun and the eldest son of the emperor have returned safely!

The Empress Dowager who was chanting almost broke the beads in her hand.

After Zhao Yuanjing got the news, he stood up abruptly, threw down the courtiers in the room, walked out of Zhaohua Hall quickly, and shouted: "Prepare the horses, I will go pick them up myself!"

Who dares to stop him.

Zhao Yuanjing suppressed his excitement, galloped out of the palace, got on his horse, and went to meet King Qin and Yun Dai in person.
