The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Chapter 225 Someone is about to get into trouble

"Your elder brother is doing very well. He is a young man after all, so he recovers quickly. He can run and jump now, without any problems."

Shen Yiyang only felt some pain in his body during the first few days of detoxification, but after those days, he didn't feel anything anymore.

Unlike the Marquis of Zhenbei, the feeling of powerlessness caused by being tortured to death lasted for many days before disappearing.

Knowing that her elder brother was really fine, Shen Tianjiao finally put her mind at ease.

The things weighing on her mind right now are so numerous that they look like stars in the sky.

Before Shen Tianjiao could say anything, Marquis Zhenbei could already sense that his daughter was worried.

"Dear girl, if you have any problem, just tell Daddy. As long as Daddy is still alive, Daddy will take care of it for you!"

This is the confidence that comes from having your father’s protection. No matter what happens, your father can be your strongest support when you return home.

Shen Tianjiao leaned her head on the shoulder of Zhenbei Hou and suddenly felt aggrieved, "Dad, I'm really tired."

"If you're tired, take a break. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if the sky falls, you still have your father and your three brothers to support you."

No matter what happens to Shen Tianjiao, Marquis Zhenbei can handle it for her. You just need to rush forward fearlessly without any worries. Your father will support you to the best of his ability. This is the confidence that Marquis Zhenbei gives to his daughter. This is the most reassuring confidence in the world.

Shen Tianjiao's nose felt sore, and she had to hold back her tears.

In her previous life, as a queen and guardian of the dynasty, her father and family never gave her such support and confidence.

If at that time, they had given her even a little bit of support and confidence like the Marquis of Zhenbei now, she would not have ended up with such a tragic end.

And the Chu family would not be wiped out within a few years after her death.

Shen Tianjiao felt that being the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei was the happiest thing. It felt great to have her father loving her and her brothers protecting her.

Perhaps it was because she had just visited the Chu family, Shen Tianjiao was feeling a lot of emotion at this moment.

"Girl, don't worry about Pingzhou. With your second brother here, everything will be fine."

How could the Marquis of Zhenbei know what Shen Tianjiao was thinking at this moment? He just thought that Shen Tianjiao was worried about the affairs of Pingzhou.

"I'm not worried about Pingzhou. I'm worried about other things."

Shen Tianjiao sniffed and adjusted herself. She was not a pretentious person. Chu Qingge and the Chu family were things of her past life. Now she was Shen Tianjiao, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"What's the matter? Tell me, Dad." Marquis Zhenbei looked at his daughter who looked listless, and felt nothing but heartache.

"Father, Li Zhaohui spread the news that you were poisoned, but before she could spread it, she was defeated by the old ancestor in the palace."

"All of her past misdeeds were exposed, and now she has fallen into her own trap and is trapped to death."

"My daughter has received accurate information. She has been poisoned for years and is now experiencing severe health problems. I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left to live."

"The most urgent task right now is to find a way to force her to rebel and eliminate her and her subordinates. Yun Li's court needs a major shake-up."

In the past, Shen Tianjiao had many concerns, fearing that she would not be ready and Li Chaohui would suddenly rebel, catching her off guard.

But now that Li Chaohui could die at any time, she no longer had any worries, and she felt the courage to move forward and decided to give it a try.

"Yeah." Marquis Zhenbei nodded. He has been recuperating here quietly recently. Shen Tianjiao cut off all interference from the outside world, fearing that he would be too worried and unable to recover.

So she basically knew nothing about what was happening outside. Now, when she heard from her daughter that Li Chaohui had been poisoned and had been poisoned for many years, the Marquis of Zhenbei couldn't help but sigh.

Li Chaohui was also a remarkable person. She was attacked by three generations of emperors, Gaozu, the previous emperor and Li Rui, but she still survived tenaciously like an indestructible cockroach.

Who would have thought that in the end he would not die at the hands of his enemies, but at the hands of those around him. How ironic and ridiculous it is.

This retribution in this life came too suddenly.

"Jiaojiao, what do you want to do?" Since Shen Tianjiao has already said this, she must have made a plan in her mind. Zhenbei Hou decided to listen to what his daughter said first, and then express his own opinion.

"I plan to boost Li Zhaohui's pressure while baiting her to lure her into taking the initiative."

"She values ​​fame, wealth and status above all else. She will never give up any opportunity that could allow her to sit in that position."

Although she had never met Li Chaohui, Shen Tianjiao could already accurately judge what kind of person she was.

People should never expose their weaknesses to their enemies, because once their weaknesses are exposed, they will be strangled by the enemy and killed without any chance of survival.

Li Chaohui is a patient and smart person. She should have disguised herself well, continued to hide her ambitions, and then waited for the opportunity to defeat Shen Tianjiao and sit on the throne she had always dreamed of.

But after coming out of Anguo Temple, the series of encounters and setbacks made her gradually lose her patience.

She seemed to have endured so many years of imprisonment very strongly, but in fact her mind and spirit had been greatly tortured and destroyed.

It is no longer possible to view her current mental state with normal thinking.

"Okay, then what do you need daddy to do?" Shen Tianjiao's words just now made the Marquis of Zhenbei understand that his daughter already had a plan in mind.

He didn't have to worry about anything, just listen to what his daughter assigned him.

"Father, judging from Li Zhaohui's various actions, the person she cares most about is you."

"She will definitely make a big fuss about you next, and as long as she knows that you are still in Shangjing City, she will definitely not take action easily."

As a former opponent, Li Chaohui had sufficient understanding of the strength and prestige of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

She had an insurmountable fear of the Marquis of Zhenbei in her heart. Otherwise, she would not have spread the news that the Marquis of Zhenbei was poisoned and would die soon before the poison took effect.

He didn't even consider how Shen Tianjiao would react after the news got out, or whether she would find someone to detoxify Marquis Zhenbei.

From this, we can see that Li Chaohui was anxious and afraid at the moment. As long as the Marquis of Zhenbei was not dead, she would not be able to feel at ease.

"My daughter's idea is that we, father and daughter, should put on a show for her. We'll pretend that there's an emergency at the border, and you'll return to Ganzhou to quell the rebellion, giving her the illusion that you've already left Shangjing."

"Then when she really wants to rebel, you can lead your troops to kill her by surprise."

"Okay, no problem. Dad has recovered now. He's been suppressed for so long, it's time to stretch his muscles."

The Marquis of Zhenbei is not interested in other things, but when it comes to fighting, he becomes very excited.

Marquis Zhenbei was born to fight and to protect the people of Yunli. It is his responsibility and obligation to use the sword in his hand to repel all those who invade and disturb Yunli.

"Shen Pingzhi's life was like a dream. Even my second brother was amazed after visiting him. His entire villa is half the size of Shangjing City."

"There's a martial arts training ground, a horse stable, and everything in there. Dad, you can stay there for a while."

"If the situation in Shangjing becomes tense in a few days, I will send the two children over as well. It will be safer for them to stay with you than with me."

Shen Tianjiao was now ready to fight Li Chaohui to the death. Although she was confident that she could defeat Li Chaohui, she was still unwilling to take the risk of leaving her two children with her.

After becoming a mother, no matter what she does, Shen Tianjiao will always consider her two children first and put them first.

"Jiaojiao, don't worry, with daddy here, the two children will be fine."

The Marquis of Zhenbei naturally understood Shen Tianjiao's feelings. He was also a father. When encountering danger, he would choose to protect his children first.

"Yeah." Shen Tianjiao smiled at the Marquis of Zhenbei and said, "Father, Yu Sheng came back and said that the current governor of Pingzhou, Yin Qihui, had a dirty fight with Wang Zongyuan over military rations."

"According to what Yin Qihui did at the time, he should have been sentenced to immediate execution, but you did not kill him because of the supporters behind Yin Qihui."

"Could it be that the person behind Yin Qihui who is best at taking advantage of his seniority in Shangjing City?"

After hearing what Shen Tianjiao said, the Marquis of Zhenbei remembered Yin Qihui. He said that he had just heard Xia He mention Yin Qihui, and why did he feel so familiar with him.

However, his daughter was also extremely intelligent. She actually guessed that the person behind Yin Qihui was that old man.

"Yes, that's right. It's the most shameless Duke of Chen, Qian Wanhe."

"It really is him! Our two families really have a deep grudge. I haven't even come to him to settle the score for him plotting against our family and humiliating my eldest brother, and he actually came to me on his own initiative. So let's settle the old and new scores together."

Shen Tianjiao's expression changed slightly, and a cold light appeared in her eyes. This time, the arrogant Duke Chen Qian Wanhe was really in big trouble.

The reason why Shen Yiyang has not yet married is not only because he is guarding the border and cannot return, but also because Qian Wanhe wanted to marry his granddaughter to Shen Yiyang.

At that time, this matter was strongly opposed by the Marquis of Zhenbei. Even if the deal failed, there was still benevolence and righteousness. Even if the in-laws failed, they would still meet each other every day, so they had to show some kindness.

But Qian Wanhe is not a human being, and her granddaughter Qian Yuexia is even less human.

It would have been fine if the grandfather and grandson slandered Shen Yiyang in front of and behind others, saying all kinds of bad things about him. But Qian Yuexia, in order to humiliate Shen Yiyang, even disregarded her sense of shame and repeatedly set traps and seduced Shen Yiyang.

Thanks to Shen Yiyang's cleverness, he was able to avoid Qian Yuexia's traps time and time again.

The Marquis of Zhenbei could no longer tolerate it but he could do nothing about it. No matter how excessive Qian Yuexia's actions were, she was still a woman after all. In this world, if a woman lost her reputation, she would not be able to survive in this world.

In the end, there was no other choice but to force Shen Yiyang to marry her.

The Marquis of Zhenbei naturally knew very well what kind of people the Duke of Chen's family was. How could he possibly let his son marry Qian Yuexia?

So the Marquis of Zhenbei sent Shen Yiyang to the Northern Frontier, where he stayed for many years, which delayed his marriage and he still hasn't gotten married.

Of course, Qian Yuexia was not a gentle, dignified and virtuous woman. When she saw that she could not marry Shen Yiyang, she turned around and seduced the Prince of Duan and became his second wife.

Qian Yuexia, who is married, still does not abide by her duties. She uses her title as the Crown Princess of Prince Duan to show off in front of Shen Tianjiao from time to time, and her words and deeds are full of contempt for the Marquis of Zhenbei and Shen Yiyang.

In the end, the dignified, virtuous, and good-tempered original Shen Tianjiao was so angry that she could no longer bear it.

On the grounds that Qian Yuexia had behaved improperly and openly disrespected the queen, she was reprimanded and confined to the palace for a year, forced to reflect on her mistakes in Prince Duan's mansion, and was not allowed to enter the palace again.

It is conceivable how excessive Qian Yuexia was, as she could make someone who was originally so patient and kind so angry.

The current Shen Tianjiao is not the original one. She is not as virtuous, gentle and patient. She never holds grudges, because if there is a grudge, she will take revenge and never put herself in a difficult position.

The people from the Qian family dared to challenge Shen Tianjiao's bottom line again and again. If Shen Tianjiao didn't take revenge, would she keep them around to get in her way?

"It's time to deal with that old man. He participated in the Seven Kings' rebellion and should have been implicated and stripped of his title. Even if he survived, his entire family should have been exiled."

"But unfortunately, his mother, Princess Ruyi, the late emperor's aunt, staged a show at the palace gate to save her son's life. She killed him and forced the late emperor to abdicate. He spared Qian Wanhe's death and imprisoned him pending exile."

"But this man, in order to survive and to preserve his wealth and glory, would do anything."

"Qian Wanhe's wife was originally a beautiful woman presented to Emperor Gaozu by Nanchu. Emperor Gaozu was not one to lust after beautiful women, and he also knew that Nanchu had ulterior motives in presenting her to him."

"So, this woman, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Southern Chu, was given to Qian Wanhe as his wife."

"Emperor Gaozu was not fond of beauty and was not moved by it. He was a rare wise ruler. But the late emperor was not like that. He did not have Emperor Gaozu's clarity and insight."

"The real him is actually not that wise, but extremely lustful."

"Qian Wanhe took advantage of the late emperor's weakness and personally sent his wife, the most beautiful woman in Southern Chu, to the late emperor's bed."

Speaking of these unbearable memories of the past, the Marquis of Zhenbei couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
