The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

So now as long as there is no chaos in Ziyun Villa, Shen Tianjiao will have more energy to deal with other things.

Shen Tianjiao looked back at her two children lying on the bed. Her mood, which had just relaxed, instantly became bad again.

The Marquis of Zhenbei knew his daughter's worries, so he comforted her, "Jiao'er, don't worry. Zi Yan has already gone to ask the doctor from the villa, and he should be here soon."

"The doctors at Ziyun Villa are all famous doctors who have saved the world. Their medical skills are no worse than those of the imperial physicians in the palace. Mu'er and An'an will definitely be fine."

Shen Tianjiao nodded at Zhenbei Hou. Looking at the two children on the bed, she suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

That is, the plague is contagious, which means that her father and brother have also had contact with the two children, so it is very likely that they have now been infected with this currently unknown disease.

This discovery made Shen Tianjiao feel as if she had fallen into ice, and her whole body was cold to the bone.

"Father, you and my second brother should go out first. Remember not to come into contact with others. Also, have the doctors prepare some preventive medicine for you to drink."

Shen Tianjiao can only hope now that the doctors in Ziyun Villa are truly famous doctors with real skills, and that they have studied terrible things like the plague and can formulate useful medicines to deal with it as soon as possible.

Furthermore, she hoped that Zhenbei Hou and Shen Tingzhi, because of their strong bodies, would be able to resist the disease and would never be infected.

Seeing Shen Tianjiao panicking and worried about herself, Zhenbei Hou patted her shoulder and said, "Jiao'er, don't panic. Your father and your second brother have been in contact with the two children. Even if they are quarantined now, it's too late."

"But don't worry. Father has already instructed the doctors to prepare some preventative medicine and give it to everyone in Ziyun Villa to prevent widespread infection."

"And your second brother and I experienced a plague a few years ago when we were still in Ganzhou. We were both infected at the time, but after taking medicine, we recovered quickly."

"So, this time, everything will be fine. After all, your father is a martial artist, and he is strong and healthy, so nothing will happen to him."

Although the Marquis of Zhenbei said so, Shen Tianjiao was still very worried. Her father was now old and had many old wounds left by years of fighting. His body was no longer as strong as it used to be.

Nothing could happen to her father, nothing could happen to her brothers, nothing could happen to anyone in the Zhenbei Marquisate and the palace.

"Father, you still..." "Okay, if Father says he's fine, then he's fine. Your father has fought in wars his entire life and has experienced all kinds of dangers. How could he be afraid of this little epidemic?"

Before Shen Tianjiao could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Marquis Zhenbei would never leave at this time. He wanted to protect his daughter and grandchildren.

And he firmly believed that Shen Tianjiao and his two grandsons would be fine.

The reason why he was so sure was naturally because of what Li Xian said to him before he died.

He knew what Li Xian was capable of. Since Li Xian said that his daughter Shen Tianjiao would become the emperor, Shen Tianjiao, who was protected by dragon energy, would not only be able to keep herself safe, but would also be able to keep those around her safe.

"Jiao'er, don't worry about anything right now. The most important thing for you right now is to stay calm and think about your next move."

"This plague came out of nowhere. It must be man-made, not a natural disaster."

"You need to take control of the situation, identify those behind this, bring them to justice, and ensure they receive the punishment they deserve."

"Only in this way can the capital be stabilized as soon as possible and the court will not be in turmoil."

As Yun Li's pillar of defense, the Marquis of Zhenbei was also thinking about how to stabilize the court and Shangjing.

"When I asked Yupo to go back just now, I told her to go back and tell the ancestors to take preventive measures."

"Send someone to find the source of the disease. I suspect Li Zhaohui is responsible."

"After all, she's in cahoots with people from Southern Xinjiang, and she's been very active in Shangjing recently."

Shen Tianjiao had never thought that Li Chaohui, a grasshopper that could only jump for a few days after autumn, would do such a thing to her at this time.

If she had known that this woman Li Chaohui had become so crazy, she should not have been so soft-hearted and delayed. She should have dealt with her sooner.

Thinking about it now, it’s too late to regret. Once the plague subsides, Li Chaohui will die.

"And I also asked Yupo to go back and tell the old ancestor not to allow people in the palace to enter and leave freely. The gates to the imperial city and the gates to and from Shangjing should all be closed first."

"This will prevent more people from being infected with the disease."

"We also asked Imperial Physician Wang to lead the other doctors from the Imperial Hospital to devise a prescription that can deal with this epidemic."

"Not only that, I also sought help from a poison-making expert. I hope she has a way to deal with it."

Shen Tianjiao did not reveal Duan Qingning's identity at this time. After all, at this moment, she did not have the energy to explain Duan Qingning's affairs.

"Well, okay." Marquis Zhenbei felt really relieved when he saw his daughter who had handled everything in an orderly manner.

Shen Tianjiao has always been a child who has not grown up in his eyes, but now it seems that he has underestimated his daughter. This child is really becoming more and more stable and mature.

While the father and daughter were still talking, Li Ziyan came in with the doctor.

Li Ziyan did not reveal Shen Tianjiao's true identity in front of these doctors at this time.

He arrived in front of Shen Tianjiao, bowed and saluted, then said, "Madam, these are the best doctors in the mansion."

"I'll bring them here and ask them to treat the young master and young lady."

Although Li Ziyan did not reveal Shen Tianjiao's identity in front of these doctors, those doctors were not blind.

Seeing Li Ziyan's attitude towards Shen Tianjiao, they could guess that Shen Tianjiao must be of noble status, otherwise Li Ziyan would not be so respectful to her.

"Okay." Shen Tianjiao stood up and moved aside to allow the doctors to treat the two children.

The servants who followed Li Ziyan in not only had their faces covered with scarves, but also held trays with three bowls of medicine on them.

"This is a preventive medicine. Please drink it together."

Li Ziyan personally handed the medicine to Shen Tianjiao. Shen Tianjiao took the medicine and had a new opinion of Li Ziyan in her heart.

The current owner of Ziyun Villa is not as weak and indecisive as he appears.

Judging from his current appearance, he is also a very capable and proactive person.

Shen Tianjiao drank the medicine in her hand in one gulp. Seeing that Shen Tianjiao had finished drinking it, Zhenbei Hou and Shen Tingzhi also drank it all.

After drinking the medicine, the four of them waited anxiously together, waiting for the doctors' consultation results.

It was unknown how long it took before the doctors finished their consultation. One of them, who looked highly respected, walked up to Shen Tianjiao and saluted.

Then he said, "My lord, I have just examined these two young nobles with a few doctors and found that they are not infected with the plague."

"Although their physical symptoms resemble those of a plague, they are actually caused by some unknown poison."

After hearing this, Shen Tianjiao no longer doubted the medical skills of these doctors.

They could see that Li Muyang and Li Muyan, brother and sister, were not infected with the plague, but were poisoned by some unknown poison, which proved that they were indeed famous doctors with superb medical skills.

The people of Nanchu are the best at using poison. Now that Li Chaohui has colluded with them, it is not surprising that they will help Li Chaohui poison.

"Then may I ask, old doctor, is there a cure for this poison?"

Since everyone can see that Li Muyang and Li Muyan, brother and sister, are not infected with the plague but are poisoned, they should have some ways to deal with it.

When Shen Tianjiao heard that her two children were not infected with the plague but were poisoned, she actually felt a sense of relief.

People in Nanchu are good at using poison, but she also has a poison expert named Qingning by her side. As long as it is poison, Duan Qingning should be able to detoxify it.

It turned out that God would not let her go. Her children were saved, and the people in the capital were also saved.

"In reply to your words, if it is poison, there is naturally an antidote. However, it is not clear what poison the two young nobles have been infected with. This requires time to study."

Not every doctor can detoxify. They can do it with ease in the areas they are good at, but they are helpless in areas they are not involved in.

"Okay, you guys go down and do the research." Shen Tianjiao looked at Li Ziyan and signaled him to take these people down.

After receiving the instructions, Li Ziyan took the doctors out.

Seeing Shen Tianjiao's calmness at this moment, Marquis Zhenbei knew that his daughter had a solution.

I just heard Shen Tianjiao say that she also sought help from a drug-making expert. I guess it’s time to ask that drug-making expert to come out now.

Thinking of this, Zhenbei Hou also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was calmly comforting Shen Tianjiao just now, in fact, his inner worries and anxieties were no less than Shen Tianjiao's.

Li Muyang and Li Muyan are now the apple of Marquis Zhenbei's eye. As their grandfather, how could he not feel distressed and worried when he sees the two children suffering like this?

He pretended to be calm just to give his daughter some confidence.

After everyone in the room left, Shen Tianjiao looked at her second brother Shen Tingzhi and said, "Second brother, take your men back to Shangjing now and invite the poison-making expert in the palace."

"As long as she comes, the lives of the two children will be saved."

"Okay, no problem." Shen Tingzhi had no reason to refuse if it meant saving his nephew and niece.

Shen Tingzhi did not waste any time and immediately went out to select a few personal guards to accompany him. He took them out of Ziyun Villa and headed towards Shangjing.

At this time, the lights in Yuxiu Palace were on. Even Ruan Yuhu, who had experienced countless storms, felt a little unsteady when faced with this sudden situation.

Although she had never experienced the plague, she knew how terrible it was. Many years ago, Bingzhou and Qingzhou had both experienced plagues due to major disasters.

At that time, all the memorials submitted to the court by their provincial governor were approved by Ruan Yuhu himself.

The tragic scenes they described in the memorials make people feel as if they are there and are so horrified.

After experiencing the plague, the population of those two states dropped sharply and they were severely damaged.

In the end, the imperial court had to relocate a large number of immigrants from other places to ensure the development and stability there.

Of course, what worries Ruan Yuhu the most now is that Shen Tianjiao is not in the palace.

Although some people in the palace have been infected with the disease, it is still much safer than outside.

After all, there are imperial physicians in the palace, which is incomparable to those outside.

This time when Shen Tianjiao comes back, Ruan Yuhu will definitely give her a lecture. As the queen regent, she has a heavy responsibility. How can she run out like this?

What would Yun Li do if something happened to her outside?

In addition to worrying about Shen Tianjiao, Ruan Yuhu was also worried about the siblings Li Muyang and Li Muyan.

The Marquis of Zhenbei probably doesn't know yet that the plague has spread in Shangjing City. We must send someone to inform him quickly so that he can take defensive measures.

Since Shen Tianjiao was not in the palace, Ruan Yuhu seemed to have lost his backbone in doing things. He was panicked and couldn't make sense of anything.

While Ruan Yuhu was still daydreaming, Yu Po came back.

Seeing Yu Po standing in front of him, Ruan Yuhu felt a strong sense of unease.

"Why are you back? Where is your master?" Ruan Yuhu looked at Yu Po and felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Yu Po lowered his head, thought for a while, and decided to talk about other things first and get to the point later.

So Yu Po told Shen Tianjiao about the things that needed to be done.

When Ruan Yuhu heard Shen Tianjiao say that she wanted Duan Qingning to help, he realized that he was so busy that he had forgotten about Duan Qingning.

Although plague and poisoning are different, they have similar effects. Maybe Duan Qingning really has a way to solve it.

Ruan Yuhu did not hesitate and immediately got up to find Duan Qingning.

"Grandfather, there is one thing I haven't told you yet."

Yu Po gritted his teeth and called out to Ruan Yuhu. He had to say it no matter how difficult it was to say it.

Ruan Yuhu was stunned, and instantly realized that what Yu Po said just now was nothing, and what she was going to say now was the key point.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Ruan Yuhu also became inexplicably nervous.

"Grandfather, why don't you sit down and let me talk."

Yu Po knew that what she said had definitely shocked Ruan Yuhu greatly, and she didn't dare to joke about the safety of this old ancestor.
