The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Hearing Qiu Tong's sigh, Bai Yunchi felt unhappy.

"Okay, you take good care of the Marquis and Chaoyun. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." The atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, and Qiu Tong didn't like it.

"Oh." Bai Yunchi looked up at Qiu Tong in confusion. It took him a long time to realize something was wrong. "Ah, Chao Yun, who is Chao Yun? Is there such a person here?"

Qiu Tong glanced at Bai Yunchi with disdain and said, "From now on, there will be no such person as Hongying in this world. Hongying is dead. From now on, the living person will be called Chaoyun. Remember?"

Bai Yunchi was still a little confused and stood there stupidly. It was really unbearable to look at him. Qiu Tong left without even looking back.

Bai Yunchi stood there in a daze for a long time before he figured out what Qiu Tong meant by what she had just said.

He looked back at Hongying, no, now it was Chaoyun.

Hongying is indeed dead, and the one who is alive now is Chaoyun, a Chaoyun who is completely different from the past, a Chaoyun who has been reborn.

Being Chaoyun is much better than being Hongying. Bai Yunchi looked at Chaoyun and said silently in his heart: "Congratulations, Chaoyun."

Chao Yun, who had been sleeping soundly and didn't know that she had changed her name, seemed to have sensed something and suddenly woke up at this moment, just in time to meet Bai Yunchi's eyes.

The moment the two people's eyes met, Bai Yunchi immediately looked away feeling uncomfortable.

"Um, are you awake?" After a brief moment of discomfort, Bai Yunchi remembered that Chao Yun was still a patient and immediately changed his attitude.

"How are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell? Are you hungry? Can I get you something to eat?"

Chao Yun, who had just woken up, didn't know which one to answer first when faced with Bai Yunchi's series of questions, so she could only shake her head.

It didn't matter that Chao Yun shook his head, it made Bai Yunchi, the idiot, imagine a big drama.

"What's wrong with you? Have you become mute?"

Seeing Chaoyun shaking her head and not saying anything, Bai Yunchi thought that the insect had left her body and had a side effect of making her mute.

"What should I do? Now I'm mute. Will there be more side effects in the future? What will happen next?"

"Could it be that he has become blind? No, no, no, could it be that he is paralyzed all over and can no longer walk?"

Chao Yun, who had just woken up, felt weak all over and didn't want to speak, but if she didn't speak, she was afraid that Bai Yunchi would really talk her to death.

She can't and doesn't want to die now.

"Okay, stop talking. I'm not mute. I'm fine." Chao Yun's voice was hoarse because he had slept for too long.

After hearing Chaoyun's words, Bai Yunchi finally felt relieved.

"I was scared to death. It turns out you didn't become mute." Bai Yunchi patted his chest, poured a glass of water for Chaoyun and handed it to her.

After drinking some water to moisten his throat, Chaoyun felt much better.

"Let me get you something to eat. You've been sleeping for so long, you can't do without something to eat."

Bai Yunchi chattered and busied himself getting food for Chaoyun.

The millet porridge, which had been cooked for a long time, was sticky and fragrant, and also suited Chaoyun's appetite. At this moment, nothing could soothe Chaoyun's heart better than this bowl of millet porridge.

After having dinner with Chaoyun, Bai Yunchi started chatting with her.

"When I fainted, was that the Jade Spirit Pill you gave me?"

Unlike Liu Mei who only followed Yu Niangzi to raise Gu, Chao Yun not only followed Yu Niangzi to raise Gu, she also studied medicine making and medical skills.

Yu Niangzi's original plan was to train Chao Yun into a person with superb medical skills, and then send her to Shen Pingzhi, letting her be Shen Pingzhi's accompanying doctor to regulate Shen Pingzhi's body.

That's why Lady Yu chose to let Chaoyun enter the palace. After all, the best doctors are in the palace. Chaoyun can be exposed to and learn more things there, and improve her medical skills so that she can take better care of Shen Pingzhi.

So it's no surprise that she can tell what medicine she is taking.

"I don't know. The medicine was sent by the Queen. It was in a box, and there was no name on it."

Only Bai Yunchi could do such a thing as giving people medicine without even knowing what it is.

"No matter what medicine it is, the one given by the Empress must be the best. Look, it was after you took that medicine that you stopped sweating and your body temperature returned to normal."

Chaoyun understood that what she had taken was the Yuling Pill, a secret medicine in the imperial palace.

Because the production process is tedious and complicated, and the medicines used are extremely precious and difficult to find.

Yuling Pills also have another name called 'Huitian Pills', which has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it also clearly shows the preciousness of Yuling Pills.

"Chao Yun, do you want to take another pill?" Bai Yunchi looked at Chao Yun, who looked a little strange, and thought that she was not feeling well again.

"Chao Yun? Who is Chao Yun?" Chao Yun, who didn't know that his name had been changed, looked at Bai Yun Chi with a confused expression, just like Bai Yun Chi just now.

"Who is Chaoyun? Chaoyun is you." Bai Yunchi looked at the dumbfounded Chaoyun and explained belatedly.

"You are no longer Hongying. You are Chaoyun, a person who has absolutely nothing to do with your past."

Chao Yun, the person whose name was changed without any notice, expressed his incomprehension of Bai Yunchi's explanation.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Bai Yunchi received Chao Yun's questioning gaze and quickly said, "This isn't the name I changed for you. It's Qiu Tong. She passed away just before you woke up, and it was she who said you should be called Chao Yun from now on."

Chao Yun was also a smart person. Bai Yunchi's words immediately made her think that her master, Lady Yu, was most likely captured by the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

It was because she captured Lady Yu that she had to change her name and completely say goodbye to her past.

"Go tell Qiu Tong to quickly catch my junior sister. Her name is Liu Mei."

"If we don't catch her quickly, we'll be in big trouble."

Chao Yun knows her junior sister best. Liu Mei has always been a person who smiles but hides a knife behind her back. She always says the softest words to others, but does the cruelest things behind their backs.

Moreover, Liu Mei is not a person who keeps to herself. She is very ambitious. If it weren't for Lady Yu who has been looking after her all these years, she would have caused trouble to the world countless times.

If the news of Lady Yu's arrest gets out, Liu Mei will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, so we must catch her as soon as possible.

Bai Yunchi looked at Chaoyun and asked with a suspicious look, "What on earth are you guys hiding from me? And what's going on with your junior sister?"

"Don't worry about it for now. Just do as I say. When you come back, I'll tell you everything."

Chao Yun didn't have time to argue with Bai Yunchi right now. Every moment of delay would increase the danger.

Seeing that Chaoyun was getting anxious, Bai Yunchi put away his grievances and turned around to go out and find Qiutong without saying a word.

Bai Yunchi found Qiu Tong and hurriedly told her what Chao Yun had said.

Qiu Tong was so happy about catching Lady Yu just now that she actually forgot about Chao Yun's junior sister.

Qiu Tong called the guard and asked him to go to Fu Sheng Ruo Meng quickly to look for someone named Liu Mei. She herself was not idle either and prepared to go back to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to take a look.

"Hey, wait a minute." Bai Yunchi stopped Qiu Tong and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't you want to explain what happened?"

Qiu Tong glared at Bai Yunchi unhappily and said, "What do I need to explain to you? Is it necessary to tell you this?"

"Even if I told you, what could you do to help? You're just a piece of crap. I didn't tell you because I wanted to protect you. Do you understand?"

Faced with Qiu Tong's open and naked contempt, Bai Yunchi almost couldn't breathe and passed out.

It turns out that in Qiu Tong's eyes, he is just such an insignificant weakling. This really irritates him.

"What are you looking at? Get out of the way!" Qiu Tong ignored Bai Yunchi's hurt look.

"If you don't want people to say that, you have to work harder on your training. Becoming a strong and invincible person is the best way."

As Qiu Tong spoke, she hurried away, leaving Baiyunchi alone and in disarray at the dawn of summer.

After returning to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Qiu Tong searched the mansion thoroughly inside and out, but did not find the junior sister Liu Mei that Chao Yun mentioned.

Qiu Tong immediately had a bad feeling in her heart that this person named Liu Mei might have run away.

It is difficult to catch a fish that has slipped through the net. It seems that it may take a lot of effort to catch Liu Mei.

After waiting for a while, the person who was sent to Fu Sheng Ruo Meng came back and reported that a woman named Liu Mei had indeed appeared next to Shen Pingzhi recently.

However, she did not find this person in her dreamlike life. The little girl who served her said that Liu Mei had disappeared last night.

Qiu Tong sighed, realizing that this person must have run away just as she had guessed.

Now, if we want to catch her as quickly as possible, we have to rely on Chao Yun. After all, as the person who knows Liu Mei best, Chao Yun has the most say.

So Qiu Tong hurried to the hot spring villa without stopping. If it were someone else, they would have collapsed from exhaustion after running back and forth, but Qiu Tong had gotten used to it over the years.

When they returned to the hot spring villa, it was already bright. Qiu Tong did not go to see Shen Tianjiao, but went straight to find Chao Yun.

When Qiu Tong arrived, the Marquis of Zhenbei had woken up and was having breakfast.

Seeing that the Marquis of Zhenbei had also woken up, Qiu Tong hurried over with a smile to pay her respects.

"My Lord, you are awake. How are you feeling? Are you feeling well?"

"It's Xiao Qiutong. I'm fine." Zhenbei Hou smiled and nodded at Qiutong.

Zhenbei Hou felt that after experiencing pain again and again yesterday, the pain today did not seem to be as painful.

Although his body suffered a painful attack, the Marquis of Zhenbei was in good spirits.

"I'm glad you're okay." Qiu Tong's nose felt sore when she saw the Marquis of Zhenbei, and she rarely showed her weak side.

"Girl, I told you everything is fine. Do you think I look like I'm in trouble?" Marquis Zhenbei smiled and comforted Qiu Tong.

"Okay, stop wasting time with me and go get back to your business."

"Yeah." Qiu Tong nodded and turned to go to Chao Yun's small tent.

When Chao Yun saw Qiu Tong coming in, he knew that Liu Mei must not have been caught.

"Didn't you catch it?"

"Well, Lady Yu should have placed her in Shen Pingzhi's Fu Sheng Ruo Meng when she came to Beijing this time. But she disappeared last night before Fu Sheng Ruo Meng was taken over by us."

"No one knows where she's gone now. It's up to you to catch her as soon as possible."

Qiu Tong felt relieved when she saw Chao Yun, who was in good spirits. It seemed that the Yuling Pill was indeed extraordinary and was not much worse than any other panacea.

Chao Yun hasn't seen her junior sister for many years, but no matter how long it takes, human nature will not change.

With Chao Yun's understanding of Liu Mei, it would not be difficult to catch her.

"She has been a person with a sweet tongue and a sharp tongue since she was a child, and she is extremely greedy and vain. When my second senior sister Xueyue married into the Nanchu royal family as a concubine, she almost killed Xueyue and wanted to replace her."

"It's just that at that time, she was too young to accomplish anything. From then on, my master...that person didn't dare to leave her alone anymore and would take her with him wherever he went."

"Although she is the most insightful and ruthless among us brothers and sisters, because she has been kept by that person for so many years, her self-awareness is very poor. She cannot survive without relying on others."

"She can't live through hard times, so she must have taken valuables with her when she escaped."

"She won't treat herself badly. When she runs out of money, she will definitely sell those valuable things to spend on herself."

After all, they grew up together, Chao Yun knew Liu Mei very well and could even predict what she would do next.

Qiu Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she knew what kind of person Liu Mei was, things would be much easier.

"She's very thoughtful and cunning. If you fail to capture her, I have another solution."

If ordinary people only have one mind, Liu Mei has at least three. She is not easy to deal with, otherwise she would not have survived under Madam Yu's hands until now.

"Tell me about it." Qiu Tong raised her eyebrows, waiting to hear Chao Yun's contingency plan.

"Suppress the news of that person's arrest. When she has squandered all her money, she will have no choice but to return to her backer."

"I have some glow-in-the-dark powder here. This glow-in-the-dark powder is specially made and different from ordinary glow-in-the-dark powder."

"Not only does it glow continuously day and night for seven days, it also has a fragrance that only a few of us can smell."

"When the time comes, spread these glowing powders in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and she should be hooked soon."
