The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Shen Tianjiao and her friends had a peaceful night, but Mrs. Jin's place was in chaos and she couldn't sleep all night.

After Yin Shuang returned home last night, her body was covered with dense red spots, which looked very scary.

Because Yin Shuang is a medical professional. She is not someone who knows nothing about medicine and is just pretending to be one.

When she noticed red spots on her body, she knew she was poisoned.

Although she didn't know what kind of poison she was poisoned with, Yin Shuang immediately took the universal detoxification pill she had prepared.

Who knew that it would be fine if she didn't take the universal detoxification pill, but after taking it, the red spots on her body quickly grew larger, making her entire body swell up.

She was completely turned into a fat bear, and as time went by, the swelling on her body did not go away, but became even worse.

This made Yin Shuang clearly realize that he had met a true master.

How could Mrs. Jin sit back and watch Yin Shuang become like this? After all, Yin Shuang was not only a bargaining chip for him, but also had some special feelings for him.

Mrs. Jin called the doctor who was with her, but the treatment was useless. She then called in another doctor from outside, but the treatment was still useless.

This went on for the entire night, and when the sun came out in the early morning, Mrs. Jin completely gave up trying to save herself.

He naturally knew that Yin Shuang became like this because she went to Shen Tingzhi's yard last night.

Shen Tingzhi is the second son of the Marquis of Zhenbei and has served as the governor of Ganzhou for many years. He is a man of unparalleled wisdom and has many talented people around him to help him.

This must be because Yin Shuang accidentally offended someone when he went there, which is why he became like this.

Yin Shuang was in great pain now, so she felt that she couldn't get any information out of her.

The only option now is to ask Shen Tingzhi for help. Although visiting Shen Tingzhi now is an unwise move, Mrs. Jin has no other choice.

If it goes on any longer, Yin Shuang might lose her life, so even though she knows it is dangerous, Mrs. Jin still decides to visit Shen Tingzhi.

Let’s see if we can ask Shen Tingzhi to take out the antidote and let him come back to save Yin Shuang.

Shen Tingzhi slept very well last night without any dreams. As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, he heard the guard come to report that Madam Jin wanted to see him.

Shen Tingzhi was confused. He really couldn't figure out why Mrs. Jin would be so presumptuous to come and ask for a meeting at this time.

He heard from the abbot that since Mrs. Jin came to the temple, she almost never left the house except when she was listening to sermons.

I think he was afraid that his identity as a man would be discovered. After all, he hadn't even learned to speak, so his actions and behavior would probably be even less like one.

If you show off too much in front of others, you will naturally be exposed. If you are exposed, you won't be able to continue the show.

But now that person actually came to see me early in the morning. What does he mean by this?

Do you think he disguises himself so well that you can't tell he's a man, or is he trying to humiliate your intelligence?

"How many people did he bring?" Shen Tingzhi's voice was a little hoarse because he had slept for a long time.

"It's just him and a guard."

He only brought one person with him, but he was really brave. How ignorant he was that he didn't know how powerful the guards of Marquis Zhenbei were.

He is really not afraid. I left him here as a hostage to threaten the people behind him to surrender.

"Go and ask him to come in and have some tea in the front room. I will follow."

Since the people are already here, they are guests. We can't just turn them away. This is not the way we treat guests at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

The fact that Madam Jin dared to bring a guard with her meant that she was not here to cause trouble.

No matter what his purpose is, we will fight against the enemy with our soldiers and block the water with earth.

This is his territory, what is he afraid of?

Shen Tingzhi quickly changed his clothes, tidied his appearance and walked out of the room.

When Mrs. Jin arrived, Wang Zongyuan, who had slept well the night before, also packed up and prepared to meet Wang Yunzhi.

Originally, when it came to interpersonal relationships, Wang Zongyuan would basically postpone the event as long as it wasn't one of his old buddies, or avoid attending if it was someone else.

But not today. He has to go visit Wang Yunzhi today, and he not only has to go, but also go happily.

He had a mission, which was to fool Wang Yunzhi and make him more determined to stay away from Li Chaohui, submit to Shen Tianjiao, and ensure that Yunli's century-old foundation could be stabilized.

In fact, Wang Zongyuan was very willing to do this. No matter who became the emperor in this world, it would not be the son of the eldest daughter of their Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. This would be the most beneficial to Yun Li.

The ancestors of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion have been good generals and loyal ministers for generations, and their only mission is to protect Yunli.

Although the late emperor and the Marquis of Zhenbei were brothers who grew up together and had a good relationship, the Marquis of Zhenbei was often bullied.

In the late emperor's heart, his kingdom and the prosperity of his Li Dynasty came first, followed by the precarious brotherhood between him and the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Although the late emperor seemed to rely heavily on the Marquis of Zhenbei and protected him everywhere, Wang Zongyuan, who was by the Marquis's side, knew that it was all an illusion.

It is true that the late emperor relied heavily on the Marquis of Zhenbei, but he was more suspicious, cautious, and controlled by him.

Wang Zongyuan knew best the grievances that the Marquis of Zhenbei had suffered over the years.

It is really unpleasant to be loyal to the country but still suffer injustice and unfair treatment.

Later, the previous emperor passed away and Li Rui became the emperor. This guy is even worse than his father.

Apart from being suspicious and controlling of the Marquis of Zhenbei just like his father, he also bullied his first wife, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, now the Queen Shen Tianjiao.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Rui married Shen Tianjiao, with his status as a bastard, he would not be qualified to be emperor, let alone be nominated as emperor.

The most ungrateful person in the world is that bastard Li Rui.

Because the Marquis of Zhenbei was worried about his daughter, he asked Wang Zongyuan to return to Shangjing a few years ago.

Although Wang Zongyuan was in the Xishan camp, he did not miss any news from the capital and the palace.

If Wang Zongyuan had not been afraid of implicating the Marquis of Zhenbei, he would have wanted to kill Li Rui long ago. He had tried more than once to sneak into the palace and kill Li Rui with a single knife.

Later, for some unknown reason, the eldest daughter of his family suddenly changed her personality. She was no longer as weak and vulnerable as before, but became strong.

No matter how harsh the words of outsiders were, Wang Zongyuan always believed that this was a good thing. Not everyone can protect himself and not be bullied in the palace.

Later, Wang Zongyuan witnessed Shen Tianjiao's thundering methods and various reforms. He didn't say it, but he supported it in his heart.

It is not easy for Yunli to have the current situation. Wang Zongyuan will never allow anyone to destroy it, so he must make Wang Yunzhi obedient this time no matter what.

When Wang Zongyuan was about to leave, he was stopped by his men, "General, this is a gift prepared by the Second Young Master. Please take it with you."

"Hmm?" Wang Zongyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Take it."

After all, Wang Zongyuan was going to visit a patient. If he went empty-handed, it would seem that he was very impolite and ignorant of the rules.

It’s not that Wang Zongyuan doesn’t understand the ways of the world, but he has been alone for many years since his wife passed away. Apart from his brothers, he rarely interacts with outsiders.

Therefore, in his consciousness, these secular etiquette and rules no longer exist.

But he didn't realize this, Shen Tingzhi had already arranged it for him.

"What's in here?" If you're going to give a gift, you always have to know what you're bringing, otherwise it'll be exposed.

"General, these are all valuable medicinal herbs. The Second Young Master has instructed us that when you go there, just say you're sending some herbs to Prime Minister Wang for nourishment."

Shen Tingzhi naturally knew that Wang Zongyuan was a careless person, so he prepared everything for him.

"Okay, I got it. Let's go." Wang Zongyuan waved his hand and left with his men.

After Shen Tingzhi had packed up and came to the living room, he saw a beautiful, graceful woman sitting and drinking tea. Her manners were elegant and dignified. If Shen Tingzhi had not known her background, he would have almost been fooled by her and really thought she was a woman.

Seeing Shen Tingzhi coming in, Mrs. Jin quickly stood up and bowed to Shen Tingzhi, "Sir, I am sorry for your sudden visit."

Mrs. Jin's voice today didn't sound as hoarse as it did that night, but it still gave people a very strange feeling.

"I wonder what brings you here, Madam Jin?" Shen Tingzhi ignored Madam Jin and walked to the upper seat and sat down.

"I have no choice but to come visit you today."

Mrs. Jin looked up and glanced at Shen Tingzhi, and saw that Shen Tingzhi was drinking tea by himself and had no intention of paying any attention to her at all.

So he had no choice but to continue: "I am here to apologize to you, sir."

"That ignorant girl of mine accidentally broke into the young master's yard last night. I don't know which master she offended. Now her body is covered in redness, swelling and itching."

"I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive her misdeeds. Please spare her life. This will also be a way of repaying her for her dedicated efforts in treating Madam Wang yesterday."

Mrs. Jin's words left Shen Tingzhi confused. He had no idea what Mrs. Jin was talking about at all.

However, when they heard that Mrs. Jin had arrived, Shen Tianjiao and Yu Po, who were hiding nearby and eavesdropping, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Just think about Alupo turning into a round pig head after chanting the double chant. It is hard not to laugh at the picture.

Shen Tianjiao had been observing Mrs. Jin for a long time, and she had to say that this man was quite pretty when he dressed up as a woman.

I think when he was a man, he must have been a very refined man like a scholar, and definitely not the kind of barbaric man who would chop people with a knife.

However, Shen Tianjiao felt that he looked familiar when she looked at his expression, as if she had seen him somewhere, but she really couldn't remember where.

Mrs. Jin gave Shen Tianjiao the feeling that this person's identity was definitely not simple. A person can change his or her appearance, but it is difficult to change the temperament and behavior he or she has developed since childhood.

The man in front of her, dressed as a woman, told Shen Tianjiao with his manners and the upbringing ingrained in his bones that he must be from the royal family of Xirong.

The Western Rong people were a group of reckless men who only knew how to fight and kill. From the king to the common people, all of them respected martial arts.

They do not focus on studying, but only on how to win by force.

Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people's families, official families, and even those aristocrats to raise such an elegant, well-mannered and polite man.

But the royal family of Xirong was different. They had been fighting with Yunli for many years and had suffered a lot at Yunli's hands.

They knew that Yun Liren was well-versed in military tactics and was not like their previous opponents who only knew how to win by force and strength.

Yun Liren defeated them, most of the time using military tactics and strategies.

So the Xirong people began to follow suit, inviting a group of teachers from Yunli at high prices, and began to teach their royal members and learn Yunli's culture and etiquette.

However, not all members of the Xirong royal family were qualified to stay in the palace to study instead of going to the martial arts training ground.

In Shen Tianjiao's previous life, she heard people say that the emperor of Xirong selected some tribes from various branches of Xirong and asked them to learn how to deal with Yun Li.

I think this Mrs. Jin must be the one who was specially chosen.

Not only does his behavior not seem like that of a Xirong person, even his appearance does not look like that of a Xirong person.

Speaking of appearance, Shen Tianjiao suddenly paused, and she remembered why she felt that Mrs. Jin looked familiar.

This Mrs. Jin looks so much like Ainuer Jinghe, a member of the Western Rong royal family who pretended to be Concubine Jing.

From this, it can be inferred that the Mrs. Jin in front of us should be a family member of Ainuer Jinghe, or at least from the same faction.

The same handsomeness, the same elegance, the same gestures, all give people the impression of being a weak scholar.

When did it become common for men to dress up as women and defraud others in the Ainuer family?

What kind of hobby is this? When she ran into Ainuer Jinghe and saw her appearing in front of her dressed as Concubine Jing, she thought that Ainuer Jinghe had to do it to protect herself.

Now that she had met the person in front of her, Shen Tianjiao finally understood that this was not something they had to do, but rather a tradition of this family. This was quite interesting.

Shen Tianjiao looked at Mrs. Jin and knew that the plan she had been brewing for a long time could finally be put into action.

But who is this Mrs. Jin from the Ainuer family? Now that he has come this time, he can't run away.
