The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

After Li Rui fainted last night, the entire Taihe Hall was in chaos.

In the past, whenever something happened in the palace, the Empress Dowager would come and deal with it personally. But now that the Empress Dowager has given up, everyone has lost their backbone and is not as calm as before.

The imperial physician and the servants in Taihe Palace worked busy all night and finally woke Li Rui up.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician says you fainted from anxiety and worry. He also says you need to rest for a while. If you continue to work so hard, you're afraid you'll..."

Huang Chunhua didn't finish his words, but what he wanted to express was already very clear.

Li Rui stared at Huang Chunhua for a long time with dull eyes, which made Huang Chunhua feel uneasy. He sighed and said, "This is all fate!"

He had already done everything he could, but he didn't expect Shen Tianjiao to have such ability to escape from his hands.

After this incident, Li Rui understood better than anyone that it would be impossible for him to touch Shen Tianjiao again.

He was already wary of the Shen family, and he would probably be even more controlled by them in the future.

Even though he was unwilling, Li Rui knew that Shen Tianjiao was the only one he could trust and rely on. "Where's the Queen? Why can't I see her?"

When it comes to being thick-skinned, there's probably no one in the world who can compare to Li Rui. Last night, he turned against Shen Tianjiao and was so ruthless he wanted to kill her. Now that he needs Shen Tianjiao, it's as if he's forgotten what happened last night.

"Empress, she, she is in Yuxiu Palace now." Huang Chunhua replied to Li Rui, and in his heart he couldn't help but complain that his master was so shameless and black-hearted.

"What, in Yuxiu Palace?" Li Rui's face instantly fell when he heard that Shen Tianjiao was not serving in Taihe Palace.

Over the years, Li Rui had long been accustomed to being taken care of by Shen Tianjiao, and had also long been accustomed to Shen Tianjiao putting him first in everything. When he suddenly heard that Shen Tianjiao was not there, he felt wronged and completely forgot the hurt he had caused Shen Tianjiao.

"Go, call the Queen over to me!"

Huang Chunhua stood there without moving. The Empress was no longer the same Empress as before. Huang Chunhua understood this after returning from Yuxiu Palace last night.

Seeing Huang Chunhua standing still, Li Rui became even more angry. "What's the matter? I can't even use a dog slave like you, right?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. You are my master, so naturally I will do whatever you tell me to do. But I'm afraid I can't invite the Empress over today." Huang Chunhua lowered his head, looking a bit cautious and helpless.

"It's no use? What do you mean it's no use?" Li Rui raised his voice and glared at Huang Chunhua, waiting for his answer.

Huang Chunhua sighed silently inwardly, prepared for the storm, and then spoke: "After His Majesty Min fainted last night, I went to Yuxiu Palace to ask the Empress to come over. The Empress said that she was frightened and needed to rest. From now on, she will not be in charge of any affairs in the harem or the front court."

Huang Chunhua deliberately made the matter sound more serious, hoping to make this difficult master in front of him understand that things are different now and that things in the harem are about to change.

"Don't care about anything?" Li Rui was shocked again. Huang Chunhua's words just now had made it very clear that Shen Tianjiao was angry about what happened last night.

But Li Rui, this selfish man, automatically blocked out the fact that he hurt Shen Tianjiao, and only chose to listen to those words related to his interests.
