The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Chunniang saw that Li Zhaohui didn't care at all about Wang Yunzhi's injury.

He couldn't help but ask, "Master, don't you want to know the severity of Prime Minister Wang's injuries?"

"Oh, by the way, how is his injury? Is it serious?"

Li Zhaohui, who was immersed in the fantasy of ascending the throne to become emperor, was reminded by "Chun Niang" and only then did he remember to ask about Wang Yunzhi's injury.

From this we can see that in her heart, Wang Yunzhi's weight is not that great, far less than her desire and pursuit of power.

"Prime Minister Wang is seriously injured. He probably won't recover unless he recuperates for a year or two."

'Chun Niang' mentioned Wang Yunzhi not only to remind Li Zhaohui that Wang Yunzhi was now a wounded soldier, but also to tell Li Zhaohui that Wang Yunzhi had no way to personally participate in this matter as Li Zhaohui imagined.

It was actually Shen Tianjiao's idea to keep Wang Yunzhi out of this matter.

The reason why Shen Tianjiao did this was that Wang Yunzhi was indeed injured and his safety was very important.

Li Chaohui knows the value and importance of Wang Yunzhi, so how could Shen Tianjiao not know it?

Wang Yunzhi has been the prime minister for many years and holds a very high position in the court. Only with him in Yunli's future can the court be stable and officials will not dare to act rashly.

If Wang Yunzhi were not in charge of Yunli at this time, the situation would surely be in chaos and difficult to control.

By then, if you want to stabilize the court, convince all officials, and restore the normal order of the court, the effort and means required will be no less than declaring war on the six kingdoms of Kyushu.

The second reason is the bond between Wang Yunzhi and Li Zhaohui. Although Wang Yunzhi has drawn a clear line with Li Zhaohui, there are still emotional entanglements between the two of them for so many years.

In this case, no one can guarantee that when Wang Yunzhi sees that Li Zhaohui was captured or encountered misfortune, he will not turn against him out of soft-heartedness and turn back to help Li Zhaohui.

If something like this happens, then Shen Tianjiao's sure win outcome will change.

Therefore, Shen Tianjiao had to eliminate all hidden dangers. She was not afraid of the worst, but she could not let that one happen to ruin the overall situation.

"Is his injury so serious?" Li Zhaohui frowned when he heard 'Chun Niang' say that Wang Yunzhi was seriously injured and could not participate in this operation.

At the same time, she was burning with anger. If Su Chang was in front of her at this moment, she would definitely beat Su Chang up without any mercy.

It was all because of that idiot Su Chang, who was being too clever and ruined her original plan.

As the most influential and capable person around her, if Wang Yunzhi could not be by her side when she launched the coup, not only would she feel uneasy, but it might also affect the development of the entire incident.

"Yes, it's very serious. If it weren't for the rescue of his great-grandfather, General Wang Zongyuan, he would have lost his life."

Li Chaohui sensed an important piece of information from Chunniang's words, that is, Shen Tianjiao had indeed left the palace secretly.

From the information she found out, she found out that Shen Tianjiao would go to the Huguo Temple every year to pay homage to her deceased mother, and that Wang Zongyuan would be there to protect her every time she went.

It seems that she acted too late this time and missed the opportunity to defeat Shen Tianjiao without any effort.

Li Chaohui was filled with regret at this moment. She regretted that she shouldn't have been so hesitant and worried so much at that time.

If she had been able to make a prompt decision and take action immediately, things might have turned out differently.

But it’s too late to regret now. There is no medicine for regret in the world.

"Although Prime Minister Wang is injured and cannot participate in this matter, he has arranged everything."

"Lord Lu Yan and Lord Cao Ang will be here soon to discuss the plan of this uprising with you."

'Chun Niang' looked at Li Zhaohui's expression and could probably guess what she was thinking at the moment.

Therefore, "Chun Niang" conveyed the message that could comfort Li Zhaohui in time according to what she was thinking at the time.

"Lu Yan?" Li Zhaohui frowned and asked, "The Lu Yan you're talking about, is that the Chief Justice Lu Yan?"

"Yes, it's Lord Lu Yanlu, the Chief Justice. He is also Prime Minister Wang's man and our ally."

Chunniang's words made Li Zhaohui feel relieved. She didn't expect that Lu Yan would be Wang Yunzhi's man.

Lu Yan is the Chief Justice and holds great power. If he is also her man, then her chances of winning this time will be greater.

This Wang Yunzhi is indeed her destined benefactor. Not only is he her strong supporter, he also often gives her unexpected surprises.

"Chun Niang, go prepare some tea and snacks so that they can be entertained when they arrive."

Li Zhaohui's mood instantly changed from being overcast to being sunny and bright.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Before going to prepare tea and snacks, 'Chun Niang' took out the pills that Li Zhaohui had to take every day these days.

"Master, please take the medicine. Doctor Zhang from the palace said that after three more days of taking the medicine, you will be healthy and you won't need to take it anymore."

"Yes." Li Zhaohui took the pill handed to him by Chun Niang without hesitation and swallowed it with water.

"By the way, has Doctor Zhang behaved in any unusual way recently?"

The reason why Li Chaohui insisted on keeping Doctor Zhang was simply because her body had undergone great changes after being nursed back to health by Doctor Zhang and taking the pills he prepared for her this time.

"No, he's just a medical geek obsessed with medicine. He does nothing but study medicine in his room all day long."

Li Chaohui suddenly mentioned Doctor Zhang, but Chunniang felt very calm because she knew that Li Chaohui couldn't live without Doctor Zhang, so Li Chaohui would not do anything to him.

After all, Li Chaohui's health has improved, and this is inseparable from the contribution of Doctor Zhang who brought medicine from the palace.

"That's great. Keep a close eye on him. He'll be very useful to us."

Li Chaohui was still very satisfied with Doctor Zhang's medical skills. When she was seriously ill some time ago, she had thought more than once whether she was about to die.

But since she took the pills prescribed by Doctor Zhang, her body has immediately undergone great improvements and changes.

She wanted to keep this Doctor Zhang. After her rebellion was successful, she asked Doctor Zhang to prepare other pills for her. After taking them, she could prolong her life and enjoy the rest of her life.

"Of course. Don't worry. There are several people guarding him. He can't get away."

'Chun Niang' did send someone to look after Doctor Zhang, but that was not to monitor Doctor Zhang, but to protect Doctor Zhang so that Doctor Zhang would not be disturbed here and could return to the palace safely later.

"Well, I trust you to do the job."

Li Chaohui was still very relieved about 'Chun Niang', but what she didn't know was that the 'Chun Niang' in front of her was no longer the 'Chun Niang' who had accompanied her through more than ten years of hard times in Anguo Temple.

But fortunately it wasn't that Chun Niang, otherwise she would have been poisoned to death long ago. How could she have waited until now to see the scene of her own rebellion?

The palace, Li Chaohui's place, and the entire Shangjing City were all bustling with activity, but the Su family, whose house was surrounded, was extremely quiet, as if nothing had happened, as if they had never been involved in it.

The reason why the Su family is so quiet is not because of anything else, but because the person who is now at the helm of the Su family, Su Chang, suddenly suffered a stroke and is still in a coma.

Now the whole family is waiting for Su Chang to wake up, so the disputes outside are no longer important to them.

Su Chang suddenly suffered a stroke and fainted. This was something that Su Yang and his son had never expected or anticipated.

It has been several days, and Su Chang has not shown any signs of waking up. The father and son can't help but feel a little worried.

They were not worried about Su Chang's health, but were worried about the current situation.

As the head of the Su family, Su Chang has already joined Li Chaohui's camp.

So if he is unconscious now, it is very likely that Su Yang will take over from Su Chang to do this thing.

This is the result that Su Yang and his son are most reluctant to do and the one they are most reluctant to see.

The father and son have already surrendered to Shen Tianjiao. They are now Shen Tianjiao's people. Even if they are forced into a desperate situation now, they cannot do anything that is detrimental to Shen Tianjiao.

"Hao'er, what do you think we should do now?"

Although Su Yang had experienced many storms, the current situation really made him lose his mind and he didn't know what to do.

"Dad, don't panic." Although Su Wenhao was unsure, he was still more stable and calm than Su Yang.

"Grandfather has suffered a stroke and is unconscious. Father, you are now the head of the Su family."

"Although the current situation is not good, as long as you don't give the order, no one in the mansion will dare to act rashly."

"The most difficult problem now is Lao Lu, and secondly, my troublesome princess sister-in-law. As long as these two are gone, our problems will be solved."

Su Yang was shocked. He looked up at Su Wenhao. Lao Lu was easy to deal with. He was just a steward of the Su family. He could still be the head of the family no matter how he dealt with him.

But Li Yuyao is the sister of the current emperor. Even if she is not favored, she is still a princess of the royal family. If something happens to her in the Su family, I am afraid that if it is investigated, both she and her son will not be able to escape the blame.

"Dad, you don't have to be so panicked." Su Wenhao naturally knew what his father was thinking and what he was afraid of.

"Princess Li Yuyao should be an insignificant person in the eyes of both the Emperor and the Empress."

"Even if she suddenly fell ill and died in the Su family, the Queen Mother would not hold us responsible or hold us accountable."

"Over the years, what has she done in the Su family? Others may not know, but how can we not know it in our hearts?"

Li Yuyao was not a person who would settle down to her lot. After marrying Su Wenzhi, she was neglected by Su Wenzhi, so she was unwilling to be lonely and did a lot of extraordinary things in the Su family.

In addition to extravagant banquets and entertainment, under Su Chang's nose, she often hung out with some handsome servants in the mansion.

Li Yuyao made the house a mess. How could Su Chang not be angry?

But what can be done about Li Yuyao? She has the status of a princess. Even if Su Chang is dissatisfied with her, he can't really do anything to her.

When Su Wenzhi was alive, Li Yuyao was restless. Now that Su Wenzhi is dead, she is naturally even more restless.

Su Chang ordered her to be trapped in the yard where he lived, but he couldn't stop her mischief. Every day, sounds of debauchery and lewdness could still be heard from her yard.

"I'm sure the Queen is also very clear about her character."

"My eldest brother died, but there was no comforting news from the palace, nor was she taken away from the Su family and returned to her princess residence as usual."

"What does this mean? It can only mean one thing, that is, the Emperor and the Empress no longer care about her life or death."

"So even if she died suddenly from an acute illness, if the news were reported to the Empress, she would probably just say, 'Give her a proper burial.'"

After hearing what Su Wenhao said, Su Yang felt relieved. Indeed, for so many years, Li Yuyao was just a princess in the Su family.

I have never seen any grace or rewards bestowed from the palace.

This also illustrates a problem from one aspect, that is, Li Yuyao is not favored and has no status in the emperor's heart.

So if she was really in the Su family at this time and died suddenly of a serious illness, the Queen Mother probably would not pursue it.

Thinking of this, Su Yang felt much more at ease. If Li Yuyao's problem was solved, then nothing else would be a problem.

"I will go to the palace to see the Queen later, tell her about the current situation of the Su family, and ask her for instructions on what we should do next."

The current situation of the Su family has made Su Yang and his son realize a reality even more clearly, that is, only by following Shen Tianjiao and listening to Shen Tianjiao can they survive.

"Okay, go ahead, but be careful. Shangjing is very chaotic right now, with so many people watching. Don't let anyone discover your whereabouts."

"Also, there is an outbreak of plague in Shangjing. You must be even more cautious and avoid contact with outsiders."

Su Yang, who has been staying at home these days to take care of Su Chang, has been out of touch with the news and doesn't know what is happening in the palace.

What is breaking out in Shangjing now is not a plague, but plague-like symptoms caused by poisoning.

"Dad, don't worry, I will be careful."

Su Wenhao looked up at Su Yang and said, "You should be careful when you are alone at home. Don't meet people you shouldn't meet."
