The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

"No need to look for him. The little prince had an accident outside the palace and is now with the master."

"The master asked me to come back just to tell you so that you wouldn't worry."

Qiu Tong stopped Qiong Niang and supported her immediately.

After hearing this, Qiong Niang's legs really went weak and her whole body collapsed in Qiu Tong's arms.

Qiu Tong half-carried and half-dragged Qiong Niang to the beauty bed and let her lie down on it.

"Don't panic, your highness is safe and sound now. The master is handling the matter."

"We can't afford to lose our composure now. We must act now."

Qiong Niang calmed herself down and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

"It's not known whether anyone else is involved, but the Feng family is definitely involved."

"I just met Feng Dafu at the palace gate. He came to the palace to file a complaint and asked Concubine Feng for support. He said that his son Feng Jie had one eye gouged out by someone from the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion."

"I've thought about it and think the Third Young Master must have done this. I had someone disguised as Mei Xue to get this information from Feng Dafu. This news should reach Concubine Feng tomorrow."

"The most pressing issue right now is, if Concubine Feng finds out, what should we do?"

Although Li Rui has been ignoring Feng Yuanyuan, it does not mean that Feng Yuanyuan has no way to retaliate against Shen Xinghao. Qiu Tong is now trembling with fear that Feng Yuanyuan will cause trouble for Shen Xinghao.

Qiong Niang had calmed down at this time. This matter was probably beyond their current capabilities. They had to find someone who could control the situation.

"Go find the ancestor and ask her opinion."

Now that Shen Tianjiao is away, Ruan Yuhu has become the backbone.

"Well, the master also told me to go to the ancestor for help if I have any problems."

Qiu Tong also felt that at the moment, apart from Ruan Yuhu, no one in the palace could suppress this matter.

Qiong Niang and Qiu Tong hurried to Ruan Yuhu.

Ruan Yuhu was also awake at this time. She was also anxiously waiting for news. Li Muyang had not returned yet, and she felt vaguely uneasy.

"Master, Qiong Niang and Qiu Tong are here." Ju Ruo came in suddenly, which scared Ruan Yuhu. She was so frightened that she almost threw the book in her hand.

"Master, I was disrespectful." Seeing that Ruan Yuhu was frightened, Ju Ruo hurried forward to comfort her.

"It's none of your business. I was just thinking too much." Ruan Yuhu calmed down, and the bad premonition in his heart became even stronger.

"Let them in." Ruan Yuhu ordered nervously.

Soon, Qiong Niang and Qiu Tong came in. Qiong Niang was so anxious that she didn't even greet them. She said, "Grandfather, something happened. The young prince was assassinated in the street."

"What?" Ruan Yuhu, who was feeling uneasy, almost jumped up out of control.

"Don't worry, old ancestor. When the young prince was assassinated, he happened to be seen by my third son. He saved the young prince, and the young prince is now staying well with the master."

"The master said that the young prince should stay with her for the next few days and will come back after this matter is resolved."

Seeing that Ruan Yuhu was anxious, Qiu Tong hurried forward and explained the situation quickly.

Hearing that Li Muyang was fine, Ruan Yuhu's tense body suddenly softened and she collapsed on the chair.

"Grandfather, it has been confirmed that the Feng family is involved in this matter. Just now, Feng Dafu came to see Concubine Feng but was stopped. I had someone pretend to be Mei Xue and get the information out of him."

"It's said that my third son went to the Ministry of Punishment, dug out one of Feng Jie's eyes, and sent him to the Feng family."

"This news will reach Concubine Feng tomorrow. If she gets involved, my Third Young Master will be in trouble."

It’s not that Qiu Tong was afraid that Feng Yuanyuan would come and cause trouble, the key point is that the Marquis of Zhenbei is still detoxifying and can’t stand any disturbance, so it’s better to have less trouble than more.

"Hmph, how dare she!" Ruan Yuhu slammed his hand on the table. "How could she possibly turn the tables? She colluded with her own relatives to murder the prince. As long as this piece of evidence is proven, she and the Feng family will never be able to recover."

Ruan Yuhu thought for a moment and said to Qiong Niang, "Go spread the news that Concubine Feng had an affair with someone and gave birth to the second prince, Li Minghua."

"Because his scheme was exposed and discovered, he wanted to assassinate the Empress's eldest son in an attempt to rebel and usurp the throne."

Even Qiong Niang and Qiu Tong, who were so bold as to not even take Li Rui seriously, were shocked by Ruan Yuhu's remarks.

Having an affair with a foreign man, confusing the royal bloodline, and plotting rebellion, any one of these is enough to have the Feng family exterminated.

Looking at the two people standing there motionless, Ruan Yuhu smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"Grandpa, why don't you think about this again?" Qiong Niang, who was always eloquent, couldn't speak clearly at this moment.

"Alright, forget about it. She can't be wronged." Ruan Yuhu sneered and said, "Just go ahead and do it. Jiaojiao knows about this."

Hearing that Shen Tianjiao also knew about this, Qiong Niang and Qiu Tong were even more confused. Shen Tianjiao knew about this? Then why didn't they know about it?

"Don't just stand there, go quickly." Seeing that Qiong Niang and Qiu Tong were still in a daze, Ruan Yuhu started to chase them away.

"Oh, okay." Qiong Niang came back to her senses and pulled Qiu Tong out.

"What should we do? Should we tell Jiaojiao about this and see what she means?"

Qiong Niang was undecided and asked Qiu Tong, who was also dizzy and out of shape beside her.

Qiu Tong stared into the distance for a long moment before saying, "Or maybe it's better not to ask. Let's just do as our ancestors say."

"Since the ancestor has said so, then there must be real evidence. Even if there is no real evidence, there must be something that can bring down Concubine Feng."

"This opportunity is rare. If we miss it, when Concubine Feng turns over, we will be in even greater trouble."

"Why not take this opportunity to solve this problem once and for all?"

Qiong Niang looked back at Qiu Tong and felt that this girl was much better than herself. She was indeed taught by Shen Tianjiao. Her courage was unmatched.

"Okay, let's do it this way. We're going to have to fight like this sooner or later anyway, so the sooner we end it, the sooner we can have some peace and quiet."

Qiong Niang is really risking her life. If she doesn't even have this little courage, wouldn't she be outdone by Qiu Tong?

"Okay, let's do it." Qiu Tong said it with confidence, but she was also nervous inside. She made the decision on her own without Shen Tianjiao's consent.

If Shen Tianjiao knew about this, I wonder if she would be angry?

"Alright then, let's do it. Let's split up and make a bigger noise so Feng Yuanyuan can have a headache."

Revenge is finally about to begin, and Qiong Niang's heart suddenly becomes clear. The war between Shen Tianjiao, her and Feng Yuanyuan is doomed to end in death, and this is fate.

After sending Qiong Niang and Qiu Tong away, Ruan Yuhu told Ju Ruo: "Go ahead, you know what to do, just go for it."

Ruan Yuhu had already prepared a big gift for Feng Yuanyuan. He had originally thought of waiting for some time, but he didn't expect it to be delivered early.

After giving away this great gift, Feng Yuanyuan was afraid that even if she didn't die in this life, she would never have a chance to turn things around.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Ju Ruo lowered her head and turned to go out.

The palace was bustling with preparations for the grand plan to destroy Feng Yuanyuan and the entire Feng family, while in the hot spring villa, Shen Tianjiao was guarding Li Muyang and waiting for his fever to subside.

"Master, please take a rest for a while. I will take care of the little prince for you."

Shen Tianjiao has been guarding Li Muyang for almost an hour. During this hour, Shen Tianjiao has maintained the same posture without moving at all, which makes Chunchao feel distressed.

"I'm fine." Shen Tianjiao reached out and touched Li Muyang's forehead. The temperature didn't seem as high as before.

Shen Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief. Raising a child was really not easy. Now she could understand the feelings of being a mother.

Chunchao was just wondering whether he should persuade Shen Tianjiao again when Shen Xinghao came in from outside.

Seeing Shen Xinghao coming, Chunchao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Third Young Master was there, the master would have to rest even if he didn't want to.

"Jiaojiao, how is the child?" Shen Xinghao had just returned and had already heard that Li Muyang had a high fever, so he rushed over immediately without stopping.

"Third brother, you're back." Shen Tianjiao, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, looked at Shen Xinghao with a forced smile.

Shen Xinghao felt extremely distressed when he saw Shen Tianjiao's appearance. He didn't care about anything and directly pulled Shen Tianjiao up.

"Jiaojiao, be obedient. Go eat something and get some rest." Shen Xinghao lowered his voice and said, "We'll be busy soon."

"What did you do?" Shen Tianjiao looked at Shen Xinghao vigilantly with a questioning expression.

"Nothing much. Come, come, come, eat while I talk to you."

Shen Xinghao pulled Shen Tianjiao out of the house and into the small pavilion outside, where food had already been prepared for Shen Tianjiao.

Shen Xinghao served Shen Tianjiao a bowl of soup and said, "This soup is for cooling off the summer heat. Drink more."

Shen Tianjiao didn't drink the soup. She stared at Shen Xinghao and asked, "Tell me quickly, what did you do?"

"Drink your soup and eat something first, then I'll talk to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after I tell you."

After all, what Shen Xinghao had just done was too bloody and fishy. If she really told it out loud, Shen Tianjiao would have no appetite to eat anymore.

Shen Tianjiao watched Shen Xinghao compromise helplessly. She quickly drank the soup and ate something, then ordered someone to clear away the dishes.

"Okay, I'm done eating. You can talk now." Shen Tianjiao sat up straight and looked at Shen Xinghao with an expression that said, "If you don't talk, I'm going to hit you."

"Nothing much. I just went to the Ministry of Punishment and dug out one of Feng Jie's eyes. I sent it to the Feng family."

"The Feng family will definitely not let this matter go. Tomorrow, the court, the inner palace, and the back garden will probably be bustling with activity."

Shen Xinghao looked calm when he said this, as if nothing had happened.

"Oh." Shen Tianjiao responded and completely put her heart at ease.

What Shen Xinghao did was much better than Shen Tianjiao had imagined.

Originally, Shen Tianjiao thought that with Shen Xinghao's violent temper, he would rush into the Feng family and kill everyone in the Feng family. If that were the case, he would never have a peaceful life for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, fortunately, Shen Tianjiao patted her chest gently. Her third brother is not a brainless person.

"You just said 'oh'?" Looking at Shen Tianjiao who didn't rebel at all, Shen Xinghao wondered if he had been too merciful by not making things worse.

"What else should I do?" Shen Tianjiao didn't even look at Shen Xinghao, but picked up the tea on the table and started drinking.

"Should he yell at you furiously, or accuse you of being too cruel?"

Shen Tianjiao put down the cup in her hand, looked up at Shen Xinghao, and said, "I really don't think you did anything wrong, Third Brother. His family wanted to kill your nephew, and you gave him a small punishment and a big warning to his family. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Shen Tianjiao has always been a person who will avenge her enemies. Since others are trying to kill her son, there is no need for her to pretend to be merciful.

Besides, Feng Jie is not a good person. The evil he has done is enough for him to die ten times. There is no need to be merciful to such a person.

If such a person dies, it would be a good thing to rid the people of harm.

Shen Xinghao, who had already prepared himself to be scolded, immediately laughed when he heard what Shen Tianjiao said.

As expected, they are siblings and have the same style of doing things.

"Jiaojiao, don't worry, Third Brother will take responsibility for his own actions and will never cause you any trouble."

Shen Xinghao knew in his heart that Shen Tianjiao was different from him. As the queen of a country, Shen Tianjiao had the responsibility to educate the people and set an example for them.

If I get involved in this matter, I will definitely be criticized by everyone and drowned in spit.

But he was different. He had military merits and was protected by the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. If the news of what he did today spread out, people would at most say that the Zhenbei Marquis did not discipline him strictly and that he was just being arrogant.

No matter what others say, it won’t affect him anyway, so he just pretends he didn’t hear it. After a while, the public opinion will disappear and everything will be fine.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Tianjiao rolled her eyes at Shen Xinghao and said, "You are my third brother. We are a family. What do you mean by you are solely responsible for your own actions?"

"If that's the case, unless I'm not surnamed Shen, not from the Shen family, and certainly not from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

"It's you, Third Brother, who should be at ease. If I, Shen Tianjiao, can't even protect my own brother, then there's no point in me being the Queen Regent."

He wanted to kill her son and bully her brother. Did he really think that Shen Tianjiao was so easy to talk to?

She, Shen Tianjiao's son, she, Shen Tianjiao's brother, will naturally be protected by she, Shen Tianjiao.
