The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

After dealing with Hongying's matter, Shen Tianjiao summoned Qiu Tong.

The four palace maids serving Shen Tianjiao grew up with her. After she married Li Rui, they followed her to the Prince Su's Mansion and then followed her into the palace.

There is no need to doubt their loyalty, but these four girls have different personalities and temperaments. Chunchao was specially selected by Shen Tianjiao's father and received kung fu training. She is the one who protects Shen Tianjiao closely and is both wise and brave in making decisions.

Xia He is good at housework. Shen Tianjiao's clothes and handkerchiefs are all made by her. She is as quiet and gentle as her name. Being with her always makes you feel comfortable like being bathed in spring breeze.

Like Chunchao, Qiutong has kung fu skills and is careful and cautious in her work. She is not easily influenced by others. On the surface, she seems to be a cold person, but in fact, she is the most soft-hearted towards those close to her.

Dongyang is a female doctor. Although her medical skills are not as good as everyone else's, she is also proficient in it. She is more than capable of taking care of Shen Tianjiao's daily health. She is also the youngest of the four girls.

Qiu Tong arrived soon. She greeted Shen Tianjiao and waited quietly for Shen Tianjiao's instructions.

"How's the matter going?" After seeing Shen Yiyang off last night, Shen Tianjiao instructed Qiu Tong to check the people in Yuxiu Palace.

"In reply to your Majesty, we have already found out. There are problems with Madam Hu who works in the kitchen, Xiao Quanzi who manages the storeroom, Lao Wang who is in charge of pruning flowers and trees, and Cuizhi, the maid who does the cleaning."

"So far, only these people have been found to have problems. The rest need further investigation." Qiu Tong lowered her head and reported her results to Shen Tianjiao.

"Yeah." Shen Tianjiao was very satisfied with Qiu Tong's initiative and ability. It was not easy to find so many problematic people in such a short time.

"It seems that our Yuxiu Palace has been infiltrated a long time ago. If we hadn't discovered it in time, we would have lost our lives at the hands of these people."

Although Shen Tianjiao already knew that Li Rui had secretly infiltrated the Yuxiu Palace, she was still shocked and frightened.

If Li Rui had used the same attention he had put into dealing with her on government affairs, the people of Yunli would not have been living in such misery.

Although the Yunli Kingdom did not perish at the hands of Li Rui, it did begin to decline under Li Rui, with each generation becoming worse than the previous one.

Shen Tianjiao pondered for a moment and said, "Since they have already issued a challenge, we must face them head-on and not be timid!"

"Qiutong, go and call everyone in Yuxiu Palace to the courtyard, and open the palace gates."

"My queen, what are you going to do?" Qiu Tong probably guessed what Shen Tianjiao was going to do, but she was still a little unsure.

"I want to clean up the mess and let everyone in this palace know the consequences of betraying the master. If anyone dares to be indecisive and dishonest again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"We must also let those with ill intentions know that I, Shen Tianjiao, am not someone to be bullied. If you want to take advantage of me, you must first consider your own abilities and whether you are qualified enough to bear the consequences."

Yes, that’s right. The Shen Tianjiao from the past was indeed dead, and the one who is alive now is Chu Qingge. In Chu Qingge’s life dictionary, there is no such thing as not fighting back when being bullied.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Looking at Shen Tianjiao who had already stood up, Qiu Tong, who was usually taciturn and rather indifferent, smiled like a flower. Her master was mighty and he should have done this a long time ago.
