Qian Xiyu didn't seem to hear Beitang Yu's words. Instead, he asked the palace servants to call for the imperial doctor and send Qian Shiming outside for treatment.
The tense atmosphere in the hall became strange because of his composure.
Beitang Yu knew that he had been away from the Dark North Kingdom for so long that the situation in the palace must be different. He also knew that the Qian family had ill intentions. Qian Danqing had personally gone to kill him, but he still had a glimmer of hope that the Qian family wouldn't do anything to Empress Wang.
Qian Xiyu objected to Beitang Yu meeting the Cabinet Ministers at this time, but unexpectedly no one dared to inform them. Even the two Cabinet Ministers who personally went to greet Beitang Yu at this time only dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. Only a few Shadow Guards still firmly stood by Beitang Yu's side to protect him.
But what was the use?
"It seems that zhen's words have gone in one ear and out the other." Qian Xiyu treated him like this, not to mention the Empress. Beitang Yu's heart surged with a strong anger. He wanted to kill the entire Qian family, but now his left and right arms were cut off by the Qian family. There was nothing he could do.
Qian Xiyu said lightly, "Emperor, this official is thinking of your health."
"What you said really moved zhen." Beitang Yu said mockingly, "Do you think zhen doesn't know what the Qian family is planning?"
"Emperor, you are too tired. If there is anything, why don't we talk tomorrow." Qian Xiyu said. They didn't think that Beitang Yu would come back so soon and Empress Wang would disappear at this time. They only hoped that the Crown Prince could come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, they didn't know how long they could suppress Beitang Yu.
Beitang Yu was the Emperor of the Dark North Kingdom after all. Although his forces had been eradicated a lot, he didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Good, good." Beitang Yu had never been a person who swallowed insults, but today he had to.
He still had to find Empress Wang and the Eldest Prince. It was not good for him to fight the Qian family head-on at this time.
"This official will immediately send someone to find the Empress." Qian Xiyu said. Beitang Yu came back and Empress Wang was taken away. Naturally, they couldn't stay.
"What about the Eldest Prince?" Beitang Yu pretended not to know the news of Beitang Xuanwei's disappearance.
Qian Xiyu revealed a sorrowful expression. "When the First Imperial Prince was on his way to Jin Country, he was attacked by wild beasts. I'm afraid that the odds are against him. Your Majesty, please restrain your grief and accept fate."
"Impudent!" Beitang Yu was furious, "If he's alive, I want to see him, if he's dead, I want to see his corpse. I haven't even seen the corpse of the First Prince, yet you want me to restrain my grief? Do you think that the First Prince is already dead? If anything happens to the First Prince, your Qian Clan will also be buried with him! "
"Your Majesty, when the First Prince wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom to negotiate, this subject stopped him." Qian Xiyu said helplessly, "This subject originally wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom personally, but the First Prince is filial …"
The more Beitang Yu listened, the angrier he got. How could the Qian Family want to save him? The First Prince was a pure and kind person, and he was not Qian Xiyu's opponent. He must have been provoked by Qian Xiyu to go to the Jin Empire in person. As for whether the First Prince had been taken away by a wild beast or not, only the Qian Family knew.
"Your Majesty!" Fang Rusheng worriedly glanced at Beitang Yu.
"Prime Minister Fang, it was you who originally proposed to cooperate with Teng Ye, but caused His Majesty to be captured by the Jin Kingdom. Fortunately, His Majesty is blessed and has a long life. Otherwise, you would not be able to atone for your crimes even if you died ten times." Qian Xiyu looked at Fang Rusheng and berated him.
Fang Rusheng and Qian Xiyu were the Left and Right Prime Ministers and originally had equal statuses. Now that Fang Rusheng was berated in public, it was hard to not be angry. However, at this moment, he did not dare to go against Qian Xiyu.
They still did not know what the situation in Ding Capital City was like, so it was better for them to temporarily endure.
"Prime Minister Qian, Zhen is not dead yet. Is it your turn to question me?" Beitang Yu coldly said.
"Yes." Qian Xiyu bowed and no longer spoke. However, his attitude was arrogant and did not show much respect to Beitang Yu.
"All of you, withdraw." Beitang Yu suddenly waved his hand in annoyance.
"This subject will withdraw." Qian Xiyu bowed and turned to leave the Fengyi Palace.
The others also followed and withdrew. Fang Rusheng raised his eyes to look at Beitang Yu.
Beitang Yu lightly nodded to him. Currently, only by having Fang Rusheng leave the Imperial Palace would there be a way to understand the situation outside.
The people in the main hall all withdrew. Only now did Beitang Yu remember that he had not seen Shen Yi since he entered the Imperial Palace. He did not know where Shen Yi had hidden with the secret guards.
"Noble Consort." A palace servant's voice came from outside.
Beitang Yu's eyes became even darker. Noble Consort Qian had arrived.
He had once neglected Empress Wang because of Noble Consort Qian. All along, he had doted on Noble Consort Qian the most. Now, he only wished that he had never seen her.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A graceful figure appeared by the door. Even though she was no longer young, she had maintained herself well. She looked to be in her twenties or thirties. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her pair of beautiful eyes were looking deeply at Beitang Yu. "You have finally returned. This subject's concubine was very worried about you."
Beitang Yu turned his head and indifferently looked at Noble Consort Qian. "Noble Consort, you have finally returned."
"This subject's concubine heard that you had returned to the Imperial Palace. This subject's concubine immediately came over." Noble Consort Qian stepped forward and hugged Beitang Yu. Her expression was excited. She did not notice the disgust and coldness in his eyes. "You did not suffer any grievances in the Jin Country. What did they do to you?"
"Zhen is fine." Beitang Yu lightly said. "Instead, this subject's concubine was frightened."
Noble Consort Qian's eyelashes were filled with tears. "This subject's concubine was really worried about you."
Beitang Yu held her face. His fingertips slightly exerted force. "Are you worried about zhen? If zhen died, wouldn't you be able to do as you please? "
"Your Majesty, what did you say? This subject's concubine does not understand. "Noble Consort Qian's expression changed. She did not understand why Beitang Yu said this.
"Qian Danqing came to the Jin Country to assassinate zhen. Don't you know?" Beitang Yu whispered in Noble Consort Qian's ear. "If your son wanted to save zhen, he would not have started a war with the Jin Country. One is your older brother, the other is your son. Don't you know that they want zhen to die?"
Tears streamed down Noble Consort Qian's face. "Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding. The Crown Prince and older brother would not do such a thing."
"Then tell me, what is the misunderstanding?" Beitang Yu loosened his hand. He no longer restrained Noble Consort Qian. He did not intend to shed all pretense of cordiality with Noble Consort Qian.
"There must be someone who wants to frame the Crown Prince and the Qian Family." Noble Consort Qian said. "Your Majesty, whether it is the Crown Prince or the Qian Family, they are both loyal and devoted to you."
Beitang Yu lightly smiled. "So, the person who wants to harm zhen is the Wang Family?"
Noble Consort Qian's eyes flashed. "This subject's concubine does not dare to say so. It's just … I ask Your Majesty to investigate the truth. Don't let this subject's concubine and the Crown Prince be wronged in vain."
"Don't worry. zhen will definitely find out the truth." Beitang Yu slowly said.
