The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

The secret guard quickly replied, "The anniversary of Madam's death is coming soon. Every year before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the young masters of the mansion go to the Huguo Temple to pay their respects."

"In the past few years that the young masters have been in the Northern Frontier, it was the Empress who personally went to pay homage. Now that the Second Young Master is in the capital, it is natural that he will be in charge of the worship this year."

"The Second Young Master said that such a coincidence is impossible. Those people must have already found out everything, so they were waiting there in advance."

"I was waiting for the right opportunity, intending to catch you and the Second Young Master off guard. However, I didn't expect Madam Wang's incident to happen, so the Second Young Master was on guard."

Her mother’s death anniversary is approaching, and Shen Tianjiao’s mood suddenly becomes bad.

Over the years, the Marquis of Zhenbei and his sons have been in the Northern Frontier, and those responsible for offering sacrifices to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s wife are indeed the original bodies.

Although the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei died when Shen Tianjiao was born, the blood ties engraved in their blood cannot be faked.

The longer Shen Tianjiao merged with her current body, the more she could empathize with her original body's emotions. So when she heard that the anniversary of the death of the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei was approaching, her heart felt as if it were stabbed by a knife.

Seeing that Shen Tianjiao was silent, Qiong Niang knew that she was sad because of her mother.

He walked silently to Shen Tianjiao and patted her on the back gently.

Shen Tianjiao came back to her senses, collected her thoughts, and asked, "Second Young Master, is he coming back?"

Shen Tianjiao, who has already sensed the danger, is now most worried about Shen Tingzhi's safety.

"The Second Young Master said that he wants to stay and get to the bottom of this matter."

"He also told the Empress not to worry about him. He had enough guards and soldiers with him. He wanted to end the problem at the source and not let the harm spread to Shangjing and endanger the Empress."

"Also, General Wang Zongyuan is with him. They will definitely be able to retire with honor."

Although Shen Tianjiao had already guessed the answer, when she heard what Shen Tingzhi conveyed with her own ears, she was still uneasy because of her inner worries.

Shen Tianjiao also knew that once Shen Tingzhi made a decision, not to mention her, he might not even listen to the words of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

This is a special period, and she is too busy to handle everything, so she can only let it go.

Fortunately, Shen Tingzhi brought enough people this time, and Wang Zongyuan was also there, so Shen Tianjiao could feel more at ease.

"Tell the Second Young Master to be extremely cautious and prudent in his actions. Don't be reckless or careless."

Because of Shen Tingzhi, Shen Tianjiao's heart is broken.

"Yes, I understand."

"Go and arrange for a reliable female doctor with good medical skills. Also, call Yu Po over. I have something to tell her."

Ever since Fengming came back from Pingzhou, he has been busy investigating officials in the court, sorting out those who have evil intentions, those who intend to rebel, and those who are collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country.

This time, Shen Tianjiao is going to make a one-time major reshuffle, replacing the blood in the court to maintain a positive, energetic and vibrant state.

Before the secret guard and the female doctor left the palace, Yu Po came back from outside.

Seeing Yu Po coming back, Shen Tianjiao quickly instructed: "Put aside what you are doing for a moment and go to Huguo Temple. Disguise yourself as the Second Young Master's maid and protect him."

No matter how powerful Shen Tingzhi is, or how many people he has around him, there are always things he cannot take care of.

Although Hu Xiao also went with him, Yu Sheng was not there. There was no reliable and capable person around Shen Tingzhi. How could Shen Tianjiao feel at ease?

"Yes, I know. Master, don't worry. I will do my best to protect the Second Young Master."

As Yu Po, who has been with Shen Tianjiao since she was a child and protected her since she was a child, she knows best how deep the relationship between Shen Tianjiao and her siblings is.

Perhaps only Yupo knew how worried Shen Tianjiao was at this moment.

The secret guard took the female doctor and Yu Po and rushed to the Huguo Temple without stopping.

When Shen Tingzhi saw Yu Po, he immediately understood Shen Tianjiao's worries.

"Second Young Master, the master has asked me to protect you. From now on, I will be Wanqiu, the maidservant serving the Second Young Master."

Wanqiu was Yu Po's name before she entered the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Her surname was Yu and her given name was Wanqiu.

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work these days." Understanding Shen Tianjiao's concerns, Shen Tingzhi naturally would not refuse anymore.

"Second Master, we've brought the female doctor with us. Do you want her to go in and treat Madam Wang now?"

On the way here, Yu Po had heard from the secret guards everything that happened here.

"Okay, follow me in and ask the female doctor who is currently in the room to come out."

"Also, have that female doctor examine you carefully, make sure there are no mistakes."

Shen Tingzhi was not worried about the female doctor from the palace, he was worried about Yin Shuang. She would not choose to harm Madam Wang at this time, but no one could guarantee that she would not do anything to Madam Wang.

If she did anything to Lady Wang, even if she was cured, she would probably suffer again in the future.

"I understand." Yu Po nodded and left, looking for a female doctor and went to Madam Wang's room together.

As soon as Yu Po entered, he saw a woman in white with her face covered. Needless to say, this must be the female doctor that the second young master mentioned.

Although it was the first time they met, Yu Po's professional sensitivity allowed him to immediately feel the oppression and danger coming from this female doctor.

Yupo stepped forward and bowed, then said to Yinshuang, "Miss, you've worked hard. My master asked you to go down and rest. We will take care of this place."

Yin Shuang was stunned for a moment, then returned the greeting and left without saying a word.

Yu Po stared at Yin Shuang's departing figure for a while before turning around and saying to the female doctor who brought her with her, "Please examine Madam Wang carefully and make sure there are no mistakes."

"I understand." The female doctor lowered her head and walked to Mrs. Wang, put down the medicine box and began to check carefully.

Gui Rong didn't dare to breathe and served carefully, even though she herself had injuries of varying degrees.

The female doctor carefully examined Madam Wang and returned to Yupo, reporting, "Madam Wang is in very poor health. She has four broken ribs and a fractured spine."

"There's also blood stasis in the body, but the person just now has already taken care of it. She should have given Madam Wang some medicine like life-saving pills."

"So Madam Wang's condition is relatively stable now. As for her broken ribs and spine, she can only take some medication as a supplement and slowly recover."

"Without half a year, I'm afraid this injury won't heal properly."

Life-saving pills? Yupo frowned. This thing was a rare commodity, not everyone could have it. What on earth was this Xirong person planning to use such a good medicine on Madam Wang?

"Have you found any signs of poisoning in Madam Wang's body?"

Yu Po did not dare to be careless, and she did not believe that the Xirong people would be so kind as to truly rescue Madam Wang.

"No." The female doctor shook her head. "We haven't found anything yet. Even if she put some poison in Madam Wang's body, it won't be discovered so quickly."

"And if she really poisoned me, it was only a small amount that wouldn't kill Madam Wang, and it shouldn't have done much harm to her health."

The female doctor's words made Yu Po feel relieved. No matter what conspiracy the Xirong people had, as long as Madam Wang was fine now, it was fine.

"But this lady's injuries are serious and she needs proper treatment."

The female doctor came in and noticed that something was wrong with Guirong. Guirong's face and demeanor told the female doctor that she was injured and was holding on.

Yupo turned around and glanced at Guirong, then said, "Take her down to get treatment. I'll make arrangements here."

Knowing that Madam Wang was fine, Gui Rong no longer insisted on staying. Now that Madam Wang was fine, she had to cherish her life so that she could continue to serve Madam Wang well.

Gui Rong turned around and bowed to Yu Po, saying, "Thank you very much, young lady."

She knew that Yu Po was from the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, and she felt more at ease leaving Madam Wang to Yu Po than leaving her to anyone in her own mansion.

Mrs. Wang couldn't leave anyone by her side even for a moment now. The only person she brought from the mansion, besides Guirong, was a little maid.

Putting aside the fact that Guirong was injured, the little girl's condition was even worse than Guirong's. She was still unconscious, and it was still a question whether she could wake up.

In this situation, Yu Po could only send a letter back and ask Shen Tianjiao to arrange someone to take care of Madam Wang.

After all, her primary task now is to protect Shen Tingzhi and assist Shen Tingzhi in finding out the purpose of those Xirong people.

If she were to stay and take care of Madam Wang, she would be too busy to do what Shen Tianjiao had asked her to do.

A whole night has passed, and Wang Yunzhi still shows no signs of waking up, which makes Shen Tingzhi a little worried.

Prime Minister Wang doesn't look that weak, so why is he so vulnerable?

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yunzhi's breathing was very steady, Shen Tingzhi would have thought that he was about to die.

Shen Tingzhi looked at Wang Yunzhi, not knowing whether he was in a coma or just asleep. He could only sigh.

"Tingzhi, why don't we ask the female doctor from the palace to come and take a look at him? It's not a solution to keep him unconscious."

Wang Zongyuan felt that Wang Yunzhi had not woken up yet because the medical skills of the monks in the Huguo Temple were not good enough. Otherwise, why had he taken medicine and had acupuncture, but still not woken up?

"I heard that this female doctor was personally taught by Doctor Wang, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital. His medical skills are the best in Yunli."

"The medical skills of the apprentice he taught should be pretty good, so there's nothing wrong with letting her try."

Wang Zongyuan felt uneasy because Wang Yunzhi didn't wake up, not to mention that the two of them were related.

He was supposed to save the people, but now the situation has turned out that one of Wang Yunzhi and his wife is seriously injured and unconscious, and the other cannot wake up. It is enough for him to blame himself and feel upset.

Shen Tingzhi glanced at Wang Zongyuan. How could he not know what Wang Zongyuan was thinking?

"Okay, go ahead. Maybe that female doctor can really help Prime Minister Wang wake up?"

Since Wang Yunzhi was rescued yesterday, no less than dozens of medical monks have come to treat Wang Yunzhi, but as Wang Zongyuan said, after so much effort, everything that should be done has been done, and all the medicines that should be taken have been taken, but Wang Yunzhi still has not woken up.

If the abbot had not been out of the temple on important matters, Shen Tingzhi would have troubled him to treat Wang Yunzhi.

The female doctor was called over just after she finished treating Guirong.

"Second son."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. I'd like to trouble you to treat Prime Minister Wang again. The monk in the temple said that Prime Minister Wang's injuries are not serious, just some minor skin injuries, but he has not woken up since last night."

"Come and take a look, you might be able to find out why he's unconscious."

In fact, Shen Tingzhi didn't have much hope at this time that the female doctor in front of him could wake Wang Yunzhi up.

After all, the medical skills of those medical monks were not as bad as Wang Zongyuan thought.

Many of them were taught personally by the abbot, and the abbot's medical skills were definitely better than those of Doctor Wang.

"Yes." The female doctor put down the medicine box in her hand and took Wang Yunzhi's pulse.

Wang Yunzhi's pulse was indeed very stable at this time, and there was no problem at all. The female doctor checked the knife wound on his back and found that it was not serious.

Then there may be only one reason why Wang Yunzhi has not woken up yet, that is, when he was chopped, his head may have been hit by a heavy object, but it is also possible that he accidentally bumped into it.

This situation may cause blood bruises on his head, which is the main reason why he has not woken up yet.

Moreover, if the blood stasis is not dissolved quickly, it will affect the patient's memory in the long run.

After finding the root cause, the female doctor took out her silver needle, but the difference this time was that she directly pierced Wang Yunzhi's head with the silver needle.

This is to stimulate the acupuncture points on Wang Yunzhi's head, speed up blood circulation, and disperse the blood clots in his head.

When blood circulation is smooth and uncongested, people will naturally wake up quickly.

Looking at Wang Yunzhi, whose head had been pricked like a hedgehog, Wang Zongyuan felt that all the hairs on his body were standing up.

This battle-hardened man, who had experienced life and death on the battlefield, had been stabbed several times and his intestines were spilled out without a cry of pain. But now, when he saw the silver needles piercing Wang Yunzhi's head, he was terrified.

But even though he was scared at this moment, Wang Zongyuan couldn't leave. He could only endure it, close his eyes and not look at those uncomfortable scenes.

On the contrary, Shen Tingzhi remained calm and did not show any abnormality.

Although it was the first time that Shen Tingzhi saw someone using this method to treat people, there are many strange things in the world, and he is not someone who has never seen the world, so there is no need to panic.
