The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

In her previous life, when she was Chu Qingge and had not yet entered the palace, Yan Yu always accompanied her wherever she went.

I didn't expect that I could not forget this habit even after living a new life.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, our General Yan will escort you."

Although the Marquis of Zhenbei was worried, he did not hesitate at all, because he knew that if Li Chaohui had chosen to take action, then Ziyun Villa would be far less safe than the palace.

For Shen Tianjiao's safety, it is better to let her leave quickly.

"Let's go." Shen Tianjiao's face was hot and slightly red. In order to hide her embarrassment, she had to leave immediately.

Shen Tianjiao walked in front, and Yan Yu followed closely behind her, just like in his previous life.

Seeing Shen Tianjiao was about to leave, Zhenbei Hou turned around and told Shen Tingzhi, "You stay here and look after the two children. I'll go see your sister off."

When the Marquis of Zhenbei walked into the yard, Shen Tianjiao was already ready to get on the carriage.

Shen Tianjiao simply extended her hand, and Yan Yu skillfully supported her and safely carried her to the carriage. During the whole process, the two of them did not communicate at all, but they both knew exactly what the other was going to do.

Seeing this scene, the Marquis of Zhenbei felt something in his heart. He thought of what Li Xian said to him before his death. Li Xian said that his daughter would have a good marriage in the future.

This marriage is the unfinished one in Jiao'er's previous life, and must be completed in this life.

If this marriage cannot bear fruit in this life, then Jiao'er will find it difficult to reincarnate in the future.

Marquis Zhenbei looked at Yan Yu, who was standing alone outside the carriage, with confusion, and couldn't help wondering in his heart, could it be that the other person in the marriage that Li Xian mentioned was Yan Yu?

If that's the case, then it seems not bad. Yan Yu is not only good-looking, but also a good fighter. He is exactly the perfect son-in-law in the mind of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

The most important thing is that the Marquis of Zhenbei had just realized that the relationship between his daughter and Yan Yu was unusual.

If his future son-in-law was Yan Yu, then Marquis Zhenbei would have no objection at all.

Shen Tianjiao and Yan Yu, who were completely unaware of the situation, could never have imagined that the Marquis of Zhenbei had already started planning their future.

If they knew, they would probably be furious.

Shen Tianjiao was already sitting in the carriage, having calmed down, but she still didn't see her father coming, so she couldn't help but stick her head out to look out of curiosity.

But what he saw was the Marquis of Zhenbei with a strange expression on his face, half smiling.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the Marquis of Zhenbei who seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, Shen Tianjiao shouted.

"Oh, oh, it's nothing, nothing. Go ahead, be careful on the road, and stay safe."

The Marquis of Zhenbei, who was brought back to life by Shen Tianjiao's call of "Dad", looked at Shen Tianjiao and Yan Yu at this time and felt that the two of them were more and more pleasing to the eye and more and more good in his eyes.

Shen Tianjiao didn't have the time to guess what Zhenbei Hou was thinking. Seeing that Zhenbei Hou was fine, she directly ordered, "Let's go."

If they set off now, by the time they reach the city gate, it will be just in time for it to open.

Shen Tianjiao has already ordered Yu Po to seal all the city gates in and out of Shangjing. If she returns too late and the city gates are sealed, she will really not be able to go back.

Yan Yu didn't say anything, just jumped onto the carriage and drove away.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was now in the yard, watching the carriage gradually moving away, still thinking about what had just happened.

Yan Yu drove the carriage out of Ziyun Villa's carriage lane and soon arrived at the main road.

"We have to hurry. I've already ordered all the gates in and out of Shangjing to be sealed. If we get back too late, we won't be able to enter the city."

Shen Tianjiao, who felt that the carriage was moving very slowly, finally couldn't help but lift the curtain and talk to Yan Yu who was driving outside.

"Okay, I'm going to speed up now, go back and sit down."

When Yan Yu heard Shen Tianjiao's voice, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After living a new life, he became more and more useless.

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianjiao immediately went back and sat down obediently. Then a moment later, she felt the carriage speeding up and getting faster and faster.

Although the speed of the carriage increased, Shen Tianjiao felt more and more at ease.

Yan Yu is Shen Tianjiao's greatest sense of security. Leaning on the pillow, Shen Tianjiao fell asleep very quickly.

Shen Tingzhi looked at his old father who had been smiling since he came in from outside. He couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you find some gold while you were out?"

"Ah." Zhenbei Hou came back to his senses and suppressed the smile on his face. He looked at Shen Tingzhi and said, "What gold are you picking up? You are obsessed with money now."

After being told this by the Marquis of Zhenbei, Shen Tingzhi immediately became unhappy. "What do you mean I'm obsessed with money? Who am I busy making money for all day long?"

"If the military funds are not enough next time, please don't come to me."

"You kid, you should be unhappy if I say something to you."

The Marquis of Zhenbei was in a good mood at the moment and was too lazy to argue with Shen Tingzhi.

"If you didn't find any gold, why are you laughing so much?"

Shen Tingzhi looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei in confusion. He couldn't imagine what good things could happen in the current situation.

Marquis Zhenbei was shocked and couldn't help but doubt himself. Was his expression so obvious?

After adjusting his mindset, the Marquis of Zhenbei suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "I was only happy to see that brat Yan Yu."

"He is indeed a son of a general, truly extraordinary. He is capable of shouldering important responsibilities at such a young age. He is truly a formidable young man."

"With such a powerful general, Yunli has a promising future."

After hearing what Zhenbei Hou said, Shen Tingzhi immediately chose to shut up.

The fact that he had transformed from a military general to a civil official had always been a hurdle that Zhenbei Hou could not get over. Experience told him that it was better for him to keep his mouth shut at this time.

Otherwise, if the war is brought to yourself, you will be in big trouble.

It was rare that the Marquis of Zhenbei was in a good mood today, and he even forgot to teach his son a lesson.

Looking at the Marquis of Zhenbei sitting there drinking tea, Shen Tingzhi was very glad that he had avoided being nagged.

Then something happened that made him even happier. Li Muyang, who had been suffering from a high fever and was in a coma, woke up at this time.

"Uncle, I'm thirsty and need some water."

At this time, Li Muyang's voice was like the sound of nature, which made Shen Tingzhi and Zhenbei Hou very excited.

"Okay." Shen Tingzhi ran to the table, took a cup of cold water, added some hot water to it, and brought it to Li Muyang.

"Come on, dear, drink slowly, don't choke."

Shen Tingzhi held Li Muyang in his arms and carefully fed him water, while Zhenbei Hou looked at Li Muyang with loving eyes.

Duan Qingning really has real skills. The child woke up in less than half an hour.

Seeing Li Muyang sweating profusely, the Marquis of Zhenbei quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

After wiping the sweat off his grandson, Marquis Zhenbei touched Li Muyang's forehead. Sure enough, Li Muyang's fever had subsided and his body temperature had returned to normal.

"Uncle, where is my mother?" Li Muyang clearly remembered that he was with his mother before he fell asleep, but how come when he woke up, his mother was gone?

"Mu'er, be good." Shen Tingzhi handed the tea bowl in his hand to Marquis Zhenbei, and he held Li Muyang in his arms.

"Your mother just returned to the palace. She had an urgent matter to deal with."

"Mu'er, do you know? The reason why you and your sister fell into a coma and had a high fever was not because you caught a cold."

"Instead, someone deliberately poisoned her. Now, someone in Shangjing City has also been poisoned."

"Your mother is going back to protect them, so Mu'er, you have to stay here and be obedient."

"Once your mother catches those bad guys, she will come to take you back."

Shen Tingzhi said this because he was afraid that after Li Muyang woke up and didn't see Shen Tianjiao with him, he would feel that Shen Tianjiao no longer loved him.

That's why he explained the matter clearly and also explained to Shen Tianjiao why she couldn't be here. He had good intentions and was afraid that Li Muyang would have any misunderstandings about Shen Tianjiao.

Well! After all, this child is not my biological child, so many things are still different.

Marquis Zhenbei naturally knew why his son said that. Li Muyang was not Shen Tianjiao's biological son. During his growth, he would meet many people with ulterior motives.

For some purpose or for their own benefit, those people would sow discord between Shen Tianjiao and her son.

If Li Muyang cannot understand Shen Tianjiao's painstaking efforts, then a gap will arise between them as mother and son, which will affect their relationship.

Once the relationship between mother and son is sown, Yun Li's court will not be peaceful.

"Mu'er, your mother is very worried about you. In order to detoxify you, she even found a master and asked her to personally detoxify you."

"Your mother told you to wait here obediently for her. As soon as she catches those bad guys, she will come and take you and your sister back home."

Knowing his son's intention, the Marquis of Zhenbei naturally continued to speak along the lines of his son.

Li Muyang couldn't see Shen Tianjiao. Although he felt disappointed, he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

He had already understood one thing, that is, his mother was different from ordinary mothers. His mother not only had to manage the household and the harem, but also had to govern the country and govern the previous dynasty.

Only when the former dynasty and the harem are stable can Yunli avoid chaos and the people can live and work in peace.

The books he read with Cui Yi these days were not read in vain.

He also understood that not only would his mother have to make sacrifices for Yun Li's safety, but he would also have to give up many things for Yun Li in the future.

"Grandpa, Mu'er knows. I will wait here obediently for my mother to pick me and my sister up."

Looking at his well-behaved and sensible grandson, the Marquis of Zhenbei was really comforted. He reached out and touched Li Muyang's head, saying, "Don't be afraid, your grandparents and uncle will always be with you."

"Yeah." Li Muyang nodded, and suddenly remembered that his sister had not woken up yet, so he quickly turned around to pat Li Muyan.

"An An, An An, don't sleep anymore, wake up quickly, hurry up."

Seeing that Li Muyan still refused to wake up, Li Muyang panicked. He went straight up and slapped Li Muyan's little face with his hands.

The brother and sister have been together for these days and their relationship has improved a lot.

Li Muyan didn't wake up by herself, she was woken up by her brother's slap.

Li Muyan, who was hurt by the beating, opened her eyes and burst into tears.

Li Muyang's movements just now were so fast that his grandfather and uncle had no time to react.

Seeing Li Muyan crying, Marquis Zhenbei felt so distressed that he quickly picked Li Muyan up.

"Okay, okay, baby, don't cry, don't cry."

The Marquis of Zhenbei, who had never had any experience in coaxing children before, had become an expert at coaxing children after only taking care of Li Muyan for a month.

With the comfort of Marquis Zhenbei, Li Muyan gradually stopped crying.

Marquis Zhenbei reached out and touched Li Muyan's forehead. Fortunately, the child's fever had subsided.

Looking at Li Muyan's red little face, Zhenbei Hou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was not Li Muyang's fault. He was caring about his sister, but he used the wrong method.

Li Muyang knew that he had done something wrong, he lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"Okay, it's okay. Mu'er was just worried that something might happen to her sister. It wasn't intentional."

The Marquis of Zhenbei was reluctant to blame Li Muyang. He looked at Shen Tingzhi and said, "The children's fever has just subsided. Tell someone to prepare some light porridge."

"Let them drink some porridge and eat some light food to nourish their bodies."

"Okay." Shen Tingzhi stood up and took Li Muyan from the arms of Zhenbei Hou. "Let's go. An An and uncle will go together, okay?"

Li Muyan sobbed and buried her head in her second uncle's arms. She felt wronged, but she had nowhere to complain.

Shen Tingzhi patted Li Muyan's back, took a few quick steps, and then whispered to comfort her, "Don't be sad, An'an. When you recover, your uncle will give An'an some osmanthus candy. We won't let your brother eat it."

Li Muyan hiccupped, looked up at Shen Tingzhi and nodded. This girl was very smart and knew everything, but she just couldn't speak.

Looking at Li Muyan, who was so well-behaved in his arms, Shen Tingzhi felt relieved but still a little worried.

Children of Li Muyan's age would have been able to speak a long time ago, but his clever niece still couldn't speak and was like a little mute.

How could Shen Tingzhi, his uncle, not be worried?

In addition to instructing people to prepare porridge, Shen Tingzhi also asked someone to bring ointment to Li Muyan.

Although Li Muyang is small, he is very strong. Li Muyan's little face was beaten red by him.

If he didn't apply some ointment, Shen Tingzhi was afraid that Li Muyan's face would swell up tomorrow.
