The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Before Gong Jianzhou came to the palace, Shen Tianjiao and Ruan Yuhu went to see Anping together.

When the two of them went there, Anping had not woken up yet and was still in a coma.

"Why hasn't this person woken up yet?"

Ruan Yuhu looked at An Ping lying unconscious on the bed and couldn't help but worry.

Li Chaohui is dead, and now the child is truly an orphan without a father or a mother. Since Shen Tianjiao has promised Li Chaohui to take good care of Anping, she must keep her promise.

If Anping never wakes up again because of this, given Shen Tianjiao's personality, she will definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life.

This is the result that Ruan Yuhu least wants to see.

"This child was extremely frightened, so he is still unconscious."

"In other words, she trapped herself in that shock and didn't want to wake up."

The doctor who treated Anping was the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Doctor Wang, who was also the oldest and most skilled doctor in the hospital.

"Imprisoning yourself in shock, unwilling to wake up?"

Ruan Yuhu didn't quite understand what Doctor Wang meant. What did it mean to imprison himself in shock and not want to wake up?

"This is a stress protection measure produced by her consciousness when she encounters a great shock."

Doctor Wang has been practicing medicine for many years and has encountered a case like Anping's before. With the help of a miracle doctor from Liuzhou, he cured the man.

However, after the man was cured, he had problems with his memory and suffered from amnesia. Not only did he forget the terrifying past, he also forgot who he was.

I don’t know if this little girl in front of me will show the same phenomenon if she is cured.

"Is this disease curable?"

Ruan Yuhu's worries grew. Although she still didn't understand what Doctor Wang said, it seemed that Anping's condition was very serious.

"When I was young and traveling, I once encountered a patient with the same condition. Later, with the help of a miracle doctor in Liuzhou, he was saved."

"What I just said was actually told to me by that miracle doctor."

"But later, that person lost his memory after waking up. Not only did he forget what had happened, he even forgot who he was."

"I don't know now if the child will have the same problem after being rescued."

Doctor Wang was actually not sure whether he could really wake Anping up, and he was also worried that even if he could wake Anping up, Anping might suffer the same fate as the previous person.

Ruan Yuhu and Shen Tianjiao looked at each other, and they both understood each other. They both felt that if that was really the case, it might be the best outcome for Anping.

"Doctor Wang, please treat her well. As long as she wakes up, nothing else matters."

"It's no big deal to forget the past. Memories aren't always good."

"If it's gone, it's gone. Let's forget the past and create new memories."

For Ruan Yuhu, it is the best thing that Anping can forget the past.

Li Chaohui is dead now. She sought her own death and deserved it.

But Li Chaohui is Anping's biological mother after all. If Anping remembers the past, she might believe those gossips and cause disagreements and conflicts with Shen Tianjiao.

It is hard to say whether he will do anything detrimental to Shen Tianjiao at that time.

Shen Tianjiao's safety is more important than anything else to Ruan Yuhu.

Gong Jianzhou held the silver in his hand and hesitated all the way, but ultimately did not give the silver away.

It was hard to say why, but Gong Jianzhou just didn't dare to give the silver that Liu had stuffed into his pocket to Xia He.

When Gong Jianzhou arrived, Shen Tianjiao and Ruan Yuhu had just finished their visit to Anping.

"Your servant Gong Jianzhou pays respects to the Empress. May the Empress be blessed with good health and happiness."

Seeing Shen Tianjiao, Gong Jianzhou hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.

"Get up and talk."

Shen Tianjiao signaled Xia He to bring a stool for Gong Jianzhou so that he could sit down and talk after he got up.

This is Yuxiu Palace, not the previous dynasty, so there is no need to rigidly follow the unchanging rules.

After Gong Jianzhou stood up, he stood aside with his head lowered.

"sit down."

Shen Tianjiao looked at Gong Jianzhou and told him to sit down and talk.

"Yes."

Shen Tianjiao had already spoken, and Gong Jianzhou did not dare to disobey. He sat down obediently on a stool beside him, waiting for Shen Tianjiao to give orders.

"I called you into the palace today. Actually, it's nothing serious. I just have a difficult matter and I wanted to ask Lord Changyuan to help me."

Gong Jianzhou is one of them, so Shen Tianjiao spoke directly to the point.

"It is my duty to share the Empress's worries. I wonder what the Empress wants me to do?"

On the way into the palace, Gong Jianzhou was always struggling over whether or not to give the red envelope in his hand to Xia He, so he had no time to think about what Shen Tianjiao would ask him to do.

However, this is not within Gong Jianzhou's scope of concern. After all, if he cannot solve the problem, Shen Tingzhi will help him.

"It's like this. Today, Li Zhaohui rebelled and entered the palace to commit illegal acts, but he has already been executed."

The person who spoke first was Ruan Yuhu. The reason why she spoke before Shen Tianjiao was because she felt that it would be better for her to speak about Anping's matter.

Shen Tianjiao is now the queen regent. If she asks Gong Jianzhou to take in the daughter of a traitor, it would obviously be inappropriate.

Although Gong Jianzhou is one of his own, he would not tell this secret to anyone, but there are exceptions to everything. It is better to be safe than sorry. If this matter is accidentally leaked and known to outsiders.

Then all the blame will be directed at Shen Tianjiao, putting her in a dilemma, and Anping's life will also be in danger.

But if I were to handle this matter myself, then even if the secret was leaked in the future, it would have nothing to do with Shen Tianjiao.

If those people wanted to blame someone, they would only blame this old woman, who overstepped her authority, lost sight of her own identity, and acted on her own initiative to do things she shouldn't have done.

Then the person who will be punished will be only her, and Shen Tianjiao will not be implicated.

"Although Li Zhaohui has been executed, she left behind a daughter."

"When the Empress Dowager was dying, I promised her that I would protect this child and let her live a peaceful and worry-free life."

"This child witnessed her biological mother die in front of her today, so she was deeply traumatized and is still in a coma."

"Originally, I hid this child in the palace and wanted her to live out her life there, but now that something like this has happened, she can no longer stay in the palace."

"I don't have a suitable place to put her, so I asked the Queen to summon you to the palace. I want you to take the child back to the Changyuan Marquis's Mansion and hide her out for a while."

"Once this matter has calmed down and she has recovered from her illness, I will find a suitable place for her."

"I wonder if Uncle Changyuan would be willing to do me a favor?"

Ruan Yuhu took full responsibility for the matter and did not let Shen Tianjiao be implicated in any way.

"Ah?" Gong Jianzhou's mind was a little confused now, because the amount of information released by Ruan Yuhu's words just now was too much.

It made him feel that his brain capacity was suddenly not enough.

Li Zhaohui actually entered the palace and started a rebellion today? Why was there no word of such a big thing beforehand?

This is really wrong. What happened in the palace today?

When Gong Jianzhou was puzzled, he suddenly remembered that the people from the City Patrol had issued a notice early this morning, saying that all shops should be closed, everyone should stay at home and on standby, and not be allowed to go out without permission.

He said that he did this to capture the spies who poisoned Nan Chu.

But now it seems that the City Patrol did this not to capture the spy who poisoned Nan Chu, but because Li Chaohui rebelled.

In order to avoid causing chaos in Shangjing City and harming innocent people, the City Patrol blocked Shangjing City under the pretext of capturing the spy who poisoned Nanchu.

Gong Jianzhou, who had finally sorted out Li Chaohui's rebellion and the unusual events in the capital today, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before he immediately thought of another more serious problem.

So when did Li Zhaohui have a daughter? And if he heard correctly, the old ancestor in the palace wanted him to take Li Zhaohui's daughter home and take care of her for a while, right?

Gong Jianzhou immediately became panicked again. What outrageous things had he encountered today?

If he took her back like this, how would he explain the girl's background to his family?

The truth certainly cannot be told, but what kind of excuse can I find to cover it up without arousing suspicion among my family members?

After all, the two stepmothers in his family are not easy to fool.

But this matter was initiated by the old ancestor in the palace himself, and even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to say a word of objection.

What's more, this is a matter that makes the Queen Queen feel embarrassed. As a minister, he has no reason not to help the Queen Queen solve her problems.

Shen Tianjiao and Ruan Yuhu just watched quietly as Gong Jianzhou's facial expressions changed and his inner struggle in this short period of time.

However, Ruan Yuhu did not give Gong Jianzhou any extra time to think. She was really exhausted today. She had to deal with this matter quickly and then go to rest.

After all, her old bones can no longer withstand the tossing and turning.

"How is it, Lord Changyuan, is there anything inconvenient for you?"

When Ruan Yuhu asked this, she was not asking Gong Jianzhou's opinion, but urging him to act quickly.

"I have no inconveniences. May I ask, ancestor, when can I take the person away?"

Gong Jianzhou now had no choice but to take the person back first. After he got home and settled the person down, he would find a way to deal with the two stepmothers at home.

"Although the person is still in a coma, you can take him back now."

"I will arrange for an imperial physician to accompany you. If there is anything you need, please let Earl Changyuan know."

If Anping could be sent out of the palace sooner, Shen Tianjiao and Ruan Yuhu would be able to breathe a sigh of relief sooner.

Ruan Yuhu was fine. After dealing with this matter, he could rest assured.

But Shen Tianjiao still had to continue dealing with the follow-up matters and couldn't even get a good night's sleep.

"Yes, I will take the person back right away. Please rest assured, my lord, I will do my best to take good care of him."

Gong Jianzhou is also a smart man. He has already heard the hidden meaning from Ruan Yuhu's words just now.

Ruan Yuhu didn't want Shen Tianjiao to have anything to do with this matter.

Moreover, Gong Jianzhou also understood that as the queen regent, Shen Tianjiao could not have anything to do with this matter.

No matter what Shen Tianjiao's considerations were for keeping Li Chaohui's child, letting the child of a traitor and rebel live is something that the world cannot accept.

Once this matter is discovered by others, the attacks that Shen Tianjiao will face will be extraordinary.

Therefore, Gong Jianzhou also deliberately removed Shen Tianjiao from this matter. In this way, even if something happened in the future, it would be a matter between him and Ruan Yuhu, and had nothing to do with Shen Tianjiao.

Ruan Yuhu was very satisfied with Gong Jianzhou's performance. He didn't expect that Gong Chenghai, that old stupid man, could give birth to such a smart son.

This kid will be a talented person who can be of great use in the future. It seems that the lost glory of the Duke of Tang's Mansion will be rebuilt in Gong Jianzhou.

"Okay, then Lord Changyuan, take the people back now. This matter is of great importance. I don't need to explain it in detail. Lord Changyuan knows it well."

"We must take good care of this person. There must not be any mistakes. After this matter is over, I will prepare a generous gift to thank Lord Changyuan."

When smart people talk to each other, there is no need to say much, just get to the point. Ruan Yuhu has expressed what he wanted to say very clearly and understandably.

Ruan Yuhu's impression of Gong Jianzhou has changed a lot now.

This kid is much better than his useless and stupid father Gong Chenghai, both in terms of doing things and being a person.

Gong Chenghai is indeed not worthy of the honor of Duke of Tang, but his son may be worthy of it.

It seems that Shen Tianjiao's judgment of people is still very accurate. When Shen Tianjiao saved Gong Jianzhou's life and made him the Earl of Changyuan, Ruan Yuhu thought that Shen Tianjiao did it only for Shen Tingzhi's sake.

It was not until today that Ruan Yuhu finally understood the purpose of Shen Tianjiao's actions that day.

Shen Tianjiao saw that Gong Jianzhou was a talented person, so she gave him such great favor, just to make Gong Jianzhou a useful person in the future.
