The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

It was two days later when Feng Yuanyuan, who was imprisoned in Jinxiu Palace, learned that her son had been punished by Shen Tianjiao.

It's not that Feng Yuanyuan was uninformed, but her broken wrist was already extremely painful. Unexpectedly, the imperial physician who set her bones made a mistake in setting them. There was no choice but to break the set bone again and then reconnect it. The whole process was so tragic that it couldn't be described.

In short, it is not an exaggeration to describe Feng Yuanyuan’s experience over the past two days as hell on earth.

Having suffered such a great loss at the hands of Shen Tianjiao, Feng Yuanyuan naturally could not swallow this humiliation and was willing to suffer in silence.

The pain in her wrist had not yet subsided, but she was already making trouble again and plotting against Shen Tianjiao.

Over the years, her method of plotting against Shen Tianjiao was nothing more than going to Li Rui and acting like a spoiled child, relying on Li Rui's favor towards her to get Li Rui to make decisions for her.

Unfortunately, Li Rui was unable to take care of himself this time, so how could he be her patron saint and punish Shen Tianjiao?

Feng Yuanyuan, who had tried all the previous tricks but ended up with nothing, could not bear such humiliation. She returned to Jinxiu Palace and smashed everything in her room.

Before she could recover, the eunuchs around her came to report one after another that Feng Baolin and Jiapin were imprisoned in Furong Garden. Because the second prince beat the eldest prince and disobeyed the empress, the empress confined him to the remedial school and made him learn the rules from the governess nanny.

"Rebellion, rebellion, everyone is rebelling." Feng Yuanyuan was so angry that she couldn't breathe and almost fainted.

"My queen, please don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health." Yan Qiu walked forward to support Feng Yuanyuan, and coaxed her in a gentle voice.

"Don't be angry. How can I not be angry about what's happening right now? Tell me how can I not be angry!" Feng Yuanyuan roared at the top of her lungs. She didn't look as charming as usual. She looked like a crazy woman.

"Your Majesty has always been clever, why are you so confused now?" Yan Qiu helped Feng Yuanyuan sit up. "Your Majesty, when have we ever lost in our battles with the Queen over the years?"

"The Emperor has probably been feeling a little irritated these past few days, so he hasn't been seeing the Empress. After a while, when the Emperor's anger has subsided and the Empress's injuries have healed, are you still worried that there won't be a chance or a way to deal with the Empress?"

"By then, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just asking the Queen to beg for mercy. She has been the Empress for many years without a child, is extremely jealous, abuses the princes, and interferes in state affairs. With so many crimes piled up, not even her father, the Duke of Zhenguo, can protect her."

"In this case, even if she doesn't die this time, the day when she will be sent to the cold palace is not far away. By then, Your Majesty, you will be the queen of Yunli Kingdom."

Having been with Feng Yuanyuan for many years, Yan Qiu knew her ambition and greed best. Since the master was a bad person, the servant would naturally not be a good person either.

Yan Qiu's words calmed Feng Yuanyuan down. After all, the emperor had the final say in the palace. As long as she could win over Li Rui's heart, would she be afraid of not being able to deal with Shen Tianjiao?

"Send more people to take care of Hua'er. If anything goes wrong, everyone will die!" The fierce look in Feng Yuanyuan's eyes made her look like she was possessed by a demon. The evil aura was so strong that people dared not approach her.

"And that little bastard, doesn't Shen Tianjiao like him? Then let him die. Once he dies, I want to see what bargaining chips Shen Tianjiao can use to fight me!"

Although the imperial physician had repeatedly warned Li Rui not to get angry, the evil fire in Li Rui's heart made him unable to calm down.

He had a good plan originally. After poisoning Shen Tianjiao, he would take action against the Duke of Zhenguo and get the military power back into his hands.

However, he never expected that there would be a loophole in his perfect plan. Somewhere along the way, he failed to poison Shen Tianjiao to death. Not only did he fail to kill her, but he also made her wary and avoid him.

Even more unfortunate was that at this critical moment, his old illness recurred and he had to find someone to take charge of the situation on his behalf and stabilize the court.

He has quite a few people around him who can be used, but apart from Shen Tianjiao, there is no one else he can truly trust.

But now that something dirty has happened between him and Shen Tianjiao, he needs to find a way to coax her.

He was already upset enough, but his concubine not only failed to share his worries when he was so upset, but also cried and made a fuss with him over trivial matters. She was really more of a hindrance than a help.

With so many worries, how can he concentrate on recuperating?
