The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Li Rui, who had been waiting impatiently for news in Taihe Hall, finally waited for Huang Chunhua.

"How is it?" Seeing Huang Chunhua appear, Li Rui couldn't wait to stand up and rushed to him and asked.

Huang Chunhua, who had not yet recovered from the shock, really didn't know where to start.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Rui was so nervous that he was shaking. If anything went wrong today, not only would the plan he had been planning for so many years fail, but he would also face revenge from the Shen family. This was not the result he wanted.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is safe and sound. Moreover, she just punished Concubine Rong in Yuxiu Palace." Huang Chunhua could only give a brief account of what had just happened.

"What do you mean not dead?" Li Rui's focus is now on the fact that Shen Tianjiao is still alive, and he has no time to care about Concubine Rong Feng Yuanyuan, who is the apple of his eye.

"Yes, the Queen is doing very well now. There is no sign of poisoning at all."

Huang Chunhua couldn't understand why things had turned out this way. The people he had arranged in Yuxiu Palace had clearly witnessed the Empress drinking the poisoned wine. The poison in that wine was so deadly that there was no antidote. If anyone drank it, there would be no chance of survival. Yet, the Empress was alive and well. What had gone wrong? It was truly bizarre.

"How could this happen?" Li Rui's legs went limp and he fell to the side.

Huang Chunhua quickly supported Li Rui and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Li Rui suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. The plan he had carefully prepared for so long turned out to have such an outcome. How embarrassing it was for him.

After helping Li Rui lie down on the couch, Huang Chunhua said, "Your Majesty, General Shen has entered the palace."

"It's over, it's over, my plan is completely ruined." Li Rui's eyes went dark, his body went limp, and he fainted.

While there was chaos in Taihe Hall, everything was peaceful and harmonious in Yuxiu Palace.

"Jiaojiao, have you really made up your mind?" Shen Yiyang looked at his sister uncertainly and asked.

Just now, Shen Tianjiao discussed the current situation with him and pointed out the current emperor's suspicion.

If Shen Tianjiao could be forced to drink poison and commit suicide today, then Li Rui would dare to kill the Shen family tomorrow.

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the Shen family must now unite and fight against Li Rui and the forces behind him.

Such clear understanding and decisiveness made it difficult for Shen Yiyang to accept for a while.

Although he hadn't seen his sister for more than a year and didn't know what she had experienced during this period, people grow up, but it is impossible for them to grow so fast in such a short period of time, from a willful and brainless young lady to a calm and insightful decision maker.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Shen Yiyang who was staring at her with a changing expression, Shen Tianjiao knew what he was thinking, but she couldn't expose it or she would be exposed.

"Oh, nothing. I just feel a little emotional when I see my Jiaojiao growing up." Shen Yiyang looked at Shen Tianjiao as gentle as ever.

Shen Tianjiao felt relieved by Shen Yiyang's words. As long as Shen Yiyang stopped caring about it, everything would be fine.

"If you think what my sister said makes sense, then shouldn't we discuss a complete plan with father so that we don't make mistakes along the way?"

Shen Tianjiao sighed softly before continuing, "We are facing a group of jackals, tigers, and leopards, man-eating demons. We must not take it lightly. If we are not careful, our Shen family will be doomed."
