The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

But in Li Chaohui's heart, Wang Yunzhi has always been a different person.

Ever since Wang Yunzhi met Li Zhaohui, he has regarded her as his white moonlight.

Over the years, no matter what ridiculous things Li Chaohui did, or what situation Li Chaohui was in, Wang Yunzhi was always the one who stayed with her.

Wang Yunzhi never despised Li Zhaohui's romantic past, nor did he criticize her for her absurdity, nor did he abandon her when she was imprisoned in Anguo Temple.

So in Li Chaohui's heart, Wang Yunzhi has long been her strongest spiritual support and pillar.

Although the two had fierce quarrels over many things these days, Li Chaohui never thought that Wang Yunzhi would abandon her one day.

Now "Chun Niang" told Li Zhaohui that Wang Yunzhi actually accompanied his wife, who had been neglected by him all her life, to pray for blessings at the Huguo Temple.

This blow was undoubtedly fatal to Li Chaohui.

The person who had always been her support and spiritual pillar had now abandoned her. This was something Li Chaohui absolutely could not accept.

"Go, call a carriage, I want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person." Li Chaohui, who had lost his mind, had completely forgotten his current situation.

"Master, we can't get out. Have you forgotten what Lord Lu just said?"

"Because Marquis Yunyang brought people to the harem today, you have been confined by the Empress and cannot go anywhere."

Chunniang looked at Li Zhaohui with a calm expression and spoke in an even calmer tone.

Li Zhaohui, who was reminded by the "Spring Tide", suddenly went crazy. She was under house arrest and was betrayed by Wang Yunzhi. This double blow made Li Zhaohui unable to bear it and turned into a mad woman.

She began to smash things in the room frantically. Her appearance was scary, and she was no longer the quiet and dignified person she usually pretended to be.

'Chun Niang' just watched coldly from the side, neither saying anything nor trying to dissuade them, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

It was not until Li Chaohui had smashed almost everything in the room and collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion that "Chun Niang" walked over and helped her up from the ground.

"Master, you have just recovered from a serious illness and cannot withstand any hardship."

"Nothing is more important than your health. As the saying goes, as long as there is green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood."

"There's still a lot of time ahead of you, so you should take good care of yourself first."

Li Chaohui, who had completely lost her strength and mind at this time, was no longer able to listen to Chunniang's consolation. Her mind was blank.

'Chun Niang' helped Li Zhaohui to the couch. After settling Li Zhaohui down, she brought him water and pills.

"Master, you haven't taken your medicine today. Take it quickly and rest for a while."

After Chunniang finished speaking, she pried open Li Zhaohui's mouth, fed the pill into her mouth, and then brought her some water for her to drink.

After taking the medicine, Li Chaohui calmed down. These days, she relied entirely on Duan Qingning's pills to survive.

Seeing that Li Zhaohui had fallen asleep after taking the medicine, Chunniang got up and walked outside to tell the little girl who was guarding outside, "Go, clean up the room, otherwise when the master wakes up and sees the mess in the room, he will be angry again."

Seeing the two little girls go in to clean, Chunniang hurried to the backyard, where Doctor Zhang was waiting for her.

After meeting Doctor Zhang in the backyard, Chunniang said, "This incident today is very strange. It seems like someone deliberately arranged it."

"Zhang Ping, Marquis of Yunyang, came unexpectedly this morning. He said his informant in the palace had reported that the Empress had left the palace today and was not in the palace anymore."

"They can use this opportunity to frame the Empress for the poisoning in Shangjing."

"So Li Zhaohui agreed to Yunyang Marquis Zhang Ping's proposal."

"As for the poisoning, Li Zhaohui didn't know about it before."

"When she got the news yesterday, she flew into a rage, scolding those Nanchu people for not following the rules."

"So I guess she colluded with the people of Nanchu to poison Shangjing City, disturb the people of Shangjing, create chaos and then use it as an opportunity to rebel."

"But I don't know what went wrong in Nanchu. Those people actually poisoned Shangjing without waiting for Li Zhaohui's order."

"Okay, I understand. I will bring the news back to the Queen later."

Doctor Zhang handed the medicine box to Chun Niang and said, "These are the last three pills. The Empress is saying that they have caused chaos in the capital."

"Then it would be better to bring forward what they are planning and end this matter as soon as possible."

"I understand." Chunniang took the medicine box and said, "Li Zhaohui just fell asleep. I'll give her some more stimulation when she wakes up."

"She's not very clear-headed now, so she should be easy to fool."

"We'll meet here again later today and I'll tell you the results."

Doctor Zhang nodded and said worriedly, "Okay, you have to be careful. Now that she's lost her mind, she's bound to do something out of the ordinary."

"It's okay. Most of the servants here are ours, and I have martial arts skills. She can't hurt me."

'Chun Niang' was still very confident that she could handle the current situation, and it would not be difficult for her to escape unscathed.

After parting with Doctor Zhang, Chunniang went straight to the kitchen and asked the cook to make a bowl of her favorite red bean porridge for Li Zhaohui.

Chunniang stayed in the kitchen until the red bean porridge was cooked, and then she left with the porridge.

But before Chunniang entered the yard, one of the two little girls in charge of cleaning ran over to greet her.

"Aunt Chun, please go and check on the master. The master has woken up and is angry because he didn't see you."

This little girl was usually only responsible for cleaning the house and yard. She seldom had the chance to get close to Li Chaohui, and had never seen Li Chaohui lose his temper. She was really scared when she saw him today.

"Okay, I understand. You can go down and rest." Chun Niang had seen Li Zhaohui's sudden crazy behavior many times, so she was not surprised.

She walked calmly into the yard, then into the house and put the porridge in her hand on the table.

"Master, you're awake. Here's some red bean porridge I just cooked. I'll put some honey in it for you. Eat it while it's hot to warm your stomach."

Chunniang walked over and helped Li Zhaohui up from the bed.

Li Chaohui likes to eat red bean porridge, and she has a habit of eating red bean porridge, which is that she must put honey in it and nothing else.

"I can't eat now." Li Chaohui was so angry that he couldn't eat anything at this time.

"Even if you can't eat, you still have to eat. Especially at this time, you have to stay calm."

Chunniang helped Li Zhaohui sit down and placed red bean porridge with honey in front of her.

"Master, drink this porridge first, and then we can discuss it in detail."

Under Chunniang's persuasion, Li Chaohui finally started to eat the red bean porridge. However, the red bean porridge that usually tasted extremely sweet now tasted a bit bitter to her.

After Li Zhaohui finished eating the red bean porridge, Chunniang immediately served tea and snacks. After the tea and snacks were set, she lit the incense.

It was only afternoon, and it was not time to light incense before going to bed at night. However, Li Chaohui was not in the mood to pay attention to these things at the moment.

"Master, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if Chunniang should say it or not."

Chunniang lowered her head and placed the tea and cakes in front of Li Zhaohui.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything between you and me that can or cannot be said?"

Chunniang accompanied Li Zhaohui in Anguo Temple during those difficult years. In Li Zhaohui's heart, he had long regarded her as his own family.

"Then I will tell you."

Chunniang sat down next to Li Zhaohui. She looked at him and said, "Master, things have come to this point. It seems that you have to move forward with your plan."

"Marquis Yunyang suffered a defeat in the palace today, and this incident has implicated you, my master."

"Soon the news that you had someone poisoning and disrupting Shangjing will spread throughout the city, and by then public opinion will no longer be on your side."

"Once public opinion is not on your side, it will be much harder to turn things around."

"Besides, with the Queen's style, she will definitely not give you another chance to live this time."

"So, Master, you can't be so depressed anymore. You must cheer up and make plans early."

"As long as you overthrow the emperor's regime and sit on the throne, everything will be yours."

"By then, not to mention Prime Minister Wang, even the entire Yunli world will be yours. Whatever you want, it will only take a word for it."

"And my young master, if you were to become the emperor, would you still be worried about not being able to find my young master?"

"You and the young master have been separated for so many years. It's time for mother and daughter to be reunited and enjoy the happiness of family."

Chunniang's words really touched Li Zhaohui's heart.

Li Chaohui's greatest wish in this life is to ascend the throne and become Yunli's first empress. The second is to find her long-lost daughter, compensate the child well, and let her become the most honorable crown princess in the world.

The scene that 'Chun Niang' described for Li Zhaohui made Li Zhaohui very excited just thinking about it.

And what 'Chun Niang' said was right, she really had no way out now.

If she does nothing now and just sits there and waits for death, then after Shen Tianjiao quells the riot in Shangjing, she will have time to deal with her immediately.

By then she would be in a passive state, unable to fight back, and could only surrender and let Shen Tianjiao do whatever she wanted.

Li Chaohui would rather die than have this kind of outcome. If she doesn't want to be controlled by Shen Tianjiao, she really has to take action now.

Li Chaohui held the teacup tightly in her hand, allowing the slightly scalding tea inside to burn her hands red, but she remained indifferent.

'Chun Niang' looked at Li Zhaohui at this moment, she nodded and smiled with satisfaction, the fish has taken the bait, now it is just waiting for the fisherman to pull it ashore.

"Chun Niang, if I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now and meet Wang Yunzhi, will he still agree to help me?"

This was the first time that Li Chaohui showed lack of confidence when facing Wang Yunzhi.

She was not even sure whether Wang Yunzhi would meet her if she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The inner confusion and fear caused a thin layer of sweat to seep out of Li Chaohui's nervous forehead.

Li Zhaohui, who has always been at the peak of the relationship between the two, now has a helpless feeling of being abandoned. The strength she pretends to show on the outside cannot cover up her inner fragility.

Chunniang looked at Li Zhaohui and said, "How about I go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first to scout out the situation? If Prime Minister Wang is willing to see me, then he's probably still willing to stand on the same front with you and continue to help you accomplish your great cause."

"It's just that this time Wang Chengyu was attacked, and you were also framed. It was done together with the Su family."

"Not only was Prime Minister Wang seriously injured, but I heard that Madam Wang is still confined to the Huguo Temple due to her injuries."

"This matter will make Prime Minister Wang feel a little uncomfortable."

"If this misunderstanding can't be resolved immediately, even if Prime Minister Wang is willing to help you, I'm afraid your relationship will never be the same again."

Li Chaohui's hand holding the teacup trembled unconsciously. The importance of Wang Yunzhi to her has always been beyond doubt.

No matter in the past or now when her great cause has not yet been accomplished, even if she has accomplished her great cause in the future and sits on the throne and becomes the supreme ruler, she will still need Wang Yunzhi's support.

Wang Yunzhi's position in the Yunli court is unsurpassed and irreplaceable by others. As long as Wang Yunzhi is there, Li Chaohui will be able to sit firmly on the throne and stabilize the order of the court and the country after she seizes power.

So as long as Wang Yunzhi is still willing to help Li Chaohui, Li Chaohui can pay any price.

It's just the Su family, not worth mentioning. Li Chaohui can use the Su family, or he can turn around and abandon the Su family, because the value of the entire Su family combined is not as much as that of Wang Yunzhi.

"If you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and he is still willing to see you, tell him that his assassination at the Huguo Temple has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"Even if I, Li Zhaohui, betray everyone in the world, I will never betray Wang Yunzhi. That old man Su Chang didn't tell me anything before he did this."

"If I had known that at the time, I would have killed Su Chang on the spot and would never have let Su Chang think of harming him."

"It's just the Su family. I am willing to let the Su family become abandoned for him. When my great cause is accomplished in the future, I will hand the Su family over to him and let him deal with it as he pleases."
