The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

"Okay, then Uncle Wang, remember this. Now that we have issued this military order, there is no joking."

"I'll find a way to deal with Song Haonan's problem, but let's be frank. If anything happens to Song Haonan in Xirong, you will be implicated."

Shen Tingzhi asked Song Haonan to go to Xirong not just because of Wang Zongyuan.

He now needs people like Song Haonan to go to Xirong and complete some tasks that normal people cannot complete.

Letting Song Haonan go to Xirong is like starting a gambling game, with a 50-50 chance of winning and losing. But now Shen Tingzhi has no time to care about it and can only choose to take a gamble.

"Okay, Tingzhi, don't worry. If anything happens to that little bastard in Xirong, I will take full responsibility."

After hearing what Shen Tingzhi said, Wang Zongyuan had nothing to understand. Shen Tingzhi agreed to let Song Haonan go to Xirong.

He had to go back quickly and give Song Haonan another political lesson, so that Song Haonan would stick to his position.

Otherwise, losing his life would be a small matter, but if he fails to achieve the goal of dismantling the Xirong regime, that would be a big deal.

After Wang Zongyuan left, Shen Tingzhi went out to look for his nephew and niece. Now, the only ones who could comfort the Marquis of Zhenbei and make him happy were these two children.

"Empress, all arrangements for the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony have been made. We can depart for the ancestral temple tomorrow."

Fan Xuan, the deputy historian of the Imperial Observatory, knelt on the ground and reported to Shen Tianjiao.

"Well, since everything is ready, let's set off tomorrow."

Shen Tianjiao opened her eyes, glanced at Fan Xuan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "How is his condition at the Imperial Observatory?"

"In reply to the Empress, I'm afraid the Imperial Observatory's condition won't improve anytime soon."

Fan Xuan answered Shen Tianjiao's question, wondering in his heart what the Queen meant by asking this question at this time.

"He won't recover anytime soon. Since he won't recover anytime soon, let him recover in peace. From now on, you will take over the Imperial Observatory."

The Fan family helped a lot in this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. In return, Shen Tianjiao gave Fan Xuan a full-time position in the Imperial Observatory, which was not a big deal.

Fan Xuan's body trembled slightly, and then he said, "Your Majesty, Fan Xuan, thanks the Queen for her grace."

Although the deputy historian of the Imperial Observatory is only one step away from the official historian, if Fan Xuan relies on himself to achieve this short step, he may not be able to do so even after he retires.

"Go ahead, do your job well, and don't let me down."

Shen Tianjiao looked at Fan Xuan and knew in her heart that the Fan family was completely in her camp this time.

"I will definitely live up to the Queen's kindness and do my best to complete this mission."

Fan Xuan kowtowed heavily to Shen Tianjiao, then left contentedly.

Shen Tianjiao looked at Fan Xuan's back as he left, and she couldn't help but feel worried. She didn't know how Chunchao's teaching had gone in the past two days.

Tomorrow is the ceremony to worship the heavens, which also means that the battle between her and Li Chaohui is about to officially begin.

Shen Tianjiao walked out of the hall. The sky was dark and gloomy, covered with dark clouds. This scene indicated that a heavy rain was coming.

After the dark clouds and heavy rain, there was a clear sky.

After resolving the issue of Li Chaohui, the dark clouds that have been hovering over Yunli for many years will completely dissipate, ushering in a new beginning.

In the future, Yunli will prosper day by day in the hands of his son, and will eventually become the strongest country among the six countries in Jiuzhou.

The long-cherished wish from the previous life was about to come true. Thinking of this, Shen Tianjiao's worries disappeared in an instant.

"Master." Chunchao put the cloak in his hand on Shen Tianjiao.

"Now that you're back, has he learned everything he needs to learn?"

Seeing Chunchao coming back, Shen Tianjiao's mood became complicated again.

"Yes, he's very smart. He understands everything he needs to learn very quickly. Now that he's standing in front of everyone, no one can find any fault with him."

Chunchao said this to comfort Shen Tianjiao. She knew that Shen Tianjiao was worried.

But what she said was all true. That person was indeed very smart. He could master something after just one try. After four or five times, there was basically no problem with it.

"Okay." Shen Tianjiao nodded and said, "Even so, we must not let our guard down. You must be extremely alert tomorrow."

"Yes, I understand." Chunchao looked up at Shen Tianjiao. She was also worried about what Shen Tianjiao would face tomorrow.

Although Chunchao knew that Shen Tianjiao had made all the necessary preparations this time and that there were experts helping her, he still couldn't help but worry.

After all, tomorrow's scene will not only be extremely dangerous, but people will also die, and it won't be just one or two people. Chunchao shudders at the thought of such a scene, let alone seeing it with his own eyes.

Her master had never seen such a scene in his life, let alone heard of it.

In fact, Chunchao's worries were completely unnecessary. Her current master was no longer the delicate young lady she used to be.

This person now has seen not only small scenes like this, but even bigger scenes. After all, she had led troops to the battlefield in her previous life.

Death on the battlefield is a very common thing. In her previous life, Shen Tianjiao not only witnessed the scene of a sea of ​​corpses, but she also personally fought in the battlefield and killed countless enemies.

"Alright, I'm fine. You should go back to Taihe Hall now. You have to stay by his side and watch over him until the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is over."

Shen Tianjiao has been with Chunchao for some time, and she knows what this girl is thinking.

She smiled at Chunchao, comforted her and told her that she would be fine.

Chunchao said nothing and left silently.

Maybe it had been a long time since she had fought a war, Shen Tianjiao couldn't tell what she was feeling now. She was not afraid, not nervous, nor happy.

Anyway, she just couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe her mood at the moment.

Since her rebirth, until now, the uneasiness in Shen Tianjiao's heart has completely disappeared.

She stabilized Yun Li's political situation, changed Yun Li's future destiny, and most importantly, Yan Yu also came to her side.

With Yan Yu by her side, she will no longer be alone.

"What are you thinking about? You're so lost in thought that you didn't even notice me even when I was right next to you."

Ruan Yuhu's sudden voice really scared Shen Tianjiao who was lost in thought.

Shen Tianjiao shuddered, looked at Ruan Yuhu and asked, "Aunt, why are you here?"

Ruan Yuhu should be in Showa-in at this moment, fighting with those old men, and shouldn't suddenly appear here.

"What's wrong? I can't come to your place anymore?"

Ruan Yuhu looked at Shen Tianjiao with a squint, looking very unhappy.

"Oh, I didn't say you couldn't come to my place. I meant you brought those old antiques to the palace. Shouldn't you be negotiating terms with them now?"

Shen Tianjiao took Ruan Yuhu's arm and the two walked into the house together. After all, it was late autumn, and it was really a bit cold after staying outside for a long time.

"I negotiate with them, what terms can I negotiate with them?"

Ruan Yuhu looked so proud. They were just a bunch of useless old men. What terms were worth her negotiating with them?

She is a powerful person. With the leverage she has in her hands, she will not only shut up these old men, but also their entire family.

Shen Tianjiao looked at the arrogant old lady in front of her and couldn't help laughing. After all, she was the one who had been in charge of Yun Li. Who could compare with her aura and arrogance?

"Why don't you ask anymore?" Seeing that Shen Tianjiao just smiled and didn't say anything, Ruan Yuhu couldn't help it.

"What do you want to ask?" Shen Tianjiao looked at Ruan Yuhu with a confused look on her face.

Ruan Yuhu was instantly amused by Shen Tianjiao's cute look at this moment.

"What else can you ask? Of course, you're asking me. Bringing all these people into the palace at this time won't cause a riot, leak out, and make Li Zhaohui suspicious, ruining our plans for tomorrow."

Shen Tianjiao smiled and said, "When I first heard about it, I was also quite worried. I was really afraid that you would make a big fuss and it would be difficult to resolve it."

"But then I thought, who are you? Not to mention the people in this palace, even those old men would call you ancestor when they see you."

"You've already become their ancestor, so why should I be afraid that you can't deal with them?"

"Yeah." Ruan Yuhu patted her gently. Shen Tianjiao took her arm and said, "You are such a sweet-talker, always trying to fool me with these nice words."

"I didn't, you can't accuse me." Shen Tianjiao looked at Ruan Yuhu with an innocent face.

"I wronged you, did I?" Ruan Yuhu turned around and looked at Shen Tianjiao with a smile, saying, "Our queen is a kind and gentle lady, I didn't wrong you at all."

"Alas, compared to my aunt, I am still far behind."

Shen Tianjiao approached Ruan Yuhu and asked in a low voice, "So, aunt, how did you manage to get all these troublesome old men into the palace overnight?"

"Not only did they get it into the palace, but they were also able to keep their homes peaceful and calm, without any signs of trouble?"

"Are you curious now?" Ruan Yuhu lowered his voice and said, "Help me back to the house and make me some hot tea to warm myself up. I will tell you slowly."

"Okay, go back to the house and I'll make you some tea myself."

Shen Tianjiao helped Ruan Yuhu into the house and ran to make tea. Her skill in making tea was something she had acquired in her previous life.

I have to say that it was indeed much warmer inside the house than outside. Shen Tianjiao quickly brought over the tea she had prepared.

"Come, auntie, try my tea-making skills."

Shen Tianjiao placed the teacup in front of Ruan Yuhu.

Ruan Yuhu picked up the teacup and smelled it. The taste of this tea was different from usual. In addition to the clear tea soup, it also had an indescribable faint fragrance.

I didn’t expect that Shen Tianjiao had such amazing tea-making skills.

Ruan Yuhu tasted the tea in her hand and found it was indeed very special. She liked the taste very much.

"Auntie, you've already drunk the tea, so stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."

Shen Tianjiao held the teacup in her hand. She preferred to smell the aroma of tea rather than drink it.

"Okay, since you made this tea so well, I'll tell you why."

Ruan Yuhu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "It's actually very simple. They are so obedient because they have something shameful in my hand."

"The most prominent families in the capital today are all Yunli's century-old families. They have been based in Yunli for a hundred years, so naturally they have secrets unknown to others. These secrets are evidence that can bring about the destruction of their entire family."

"Are you saying that you have all the evidence against the noble families in Shangjing?"

Shen Tianjiao opened her eyes wide in surprise. It was not her fault for her lack of experience. If anyone had to blame someone, it was only because Ruan Yuhu was too capable.

My goodness, Ruan Yuhu holds the power over the entire Yunli family in his hands, which is not something that everyone can do.

As a century-old family, who wouldn't have some unknown secrets?

Since it is an unknown secret, it is naturally impossible for others to know it, but now it is in Ruan Yuhu's hands.

This is incredible. How did Ruan Yuhu do it?

This incident once again refreshed Shen Tianjiao's understanding of Ruan Yuhu.

In Shen Tianjiao's eyes, Ruan Yuhu was now comparable to the gods in heaven, as if there was nothing in the world that she could not do.

"Not all of them." Ruan Yuhu smiled and looked up at Shen Tianjiao, saying, "There are none in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

Shen Tianjiao was so surprised just now that she actually forgot that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was the number one family in Yunli.

"We don't have any at home?"

"Yes, your family doesn't have it."

In fact, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion also has its own secrets that cannot be known to others, but because of the prestige of the Zhenbei Marquis and the loyalty and bravery of the Zhenbei Marquis of all generations, they are ignored.

Shen Tianjiao smiled. She knew in her heart that their Zhenbei Marquis Mansion also had its own unknown secrets, such as the relationship between her father and Li Xian.

Ruan Yuhu didn't say it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

"Then it seems that our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is really a Qingming family."

We are all smart people, we just don't say some things out loud.

"Yes, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has protected Yunli for over a hundred years. Every generation of Zhenbei Marquis has been loyal to the country and has never had any selfish motives. The title of Zhenbei Marquis has been passed down to your father for the sixth generation."

"Among the six generations of Zhenbei Marquis, only your father has lived to this age and is still safe and sound."

"The other five generations of Zhenbei Marquis all died loyally for their country on the battlefields of the northern border."

"How could such a loyal and brave family have any shameful secrets?"

Ruan Yuhu respected the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion from the bottom of his heart. It would be difficult to find another loyal and brave family like the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in the world.
