The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Chapter 337: Frank Meeting



Chapter 337: Frank Meeting

It’s not that Shen Tianjiao is cruel, but she would use such tricks to treat a woman.

It's really that Alubo Yiyinshuang doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. If she dares to attack herself, then she will attack everyone who comes into contact with Shen Tingzhi.

This woman is not only vicious, but also extremely possessive. Keeping her will only bring disaster sooner or later.

Instead of waiting for her to do evil and harm Shen Tingzhi, it would be better to make her disappear before she takes any action to avoid her from being harmed.

Alubo Yiyinshuang is definitely a dangerous woman, and such a woman must not get close to Shen Tingzhi.

After Shen Tianjiao shot out the silver needle, she heard a slight moan.

Anyone hit by Shen Tianjiao's silver needle will be poisoned immediately. Although this poison is not fatal, it is more painful than death, making life worse than death.

Shen Tianjiao raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, knowing that something interesting was about to happen.

Shen Tingzhi took his cloak and came out of the house, "Let's go."

"Brother, wait for me for a moment. I'm going to change my clothes. I don't know what it was that just ran past me and got my nice clothes dirty."

Shen Tianjiao still had Alubo Yiyinshuang's hidden weapons on her sleeves. She didn't have the courage to go see Wang Yunzhi with all these hidden weapons.

Even if others can't touch her, she will touch her no matter how careful she is.

It was obvious that the girl came here to kill him, so how could she show mercy?

The poison on the sleeve can cause one to die in such a miserable way that one would not even know how.

"Are you okay then? Didn't you see what it was?"

When Shen Tingzhi heard that an unidentified object had disturbed Shen Tianjiao in the yard, he immediately became nervous.

"I'm fine, she just soiled my clothes. This place is close to the mountains, so it's inevitable that some animals come and go. There's no need to panic, second brother."

"I'll go change my clothes and be right back." Shen Tianjiao turned around and went back to the house.

Back in the room, Shen Tianjiao carefully took off her clothes. With the help of the light, she saw that her sleeves were densely covered with very thin and small scalpels.

The scimitar must be infected with a deadly poison that can kill people instantly, because the material of Shen Tianjiao's sleeves has changed color.

"She is indeed a vicious woman with a malicious mind. She even dared to have such thoughts that she shouldn't have them. She covets my second brother. She is so wishful thinking. She is just dreaming!"

Shen Tianjiao looked at the sleeves that had changed color, and a cold light appeared in her eyes. No matter what, this Alubo Yiyinshuang must die.

After changing her clothes, Shen Tianjiao ordered the secret guards to keep a close eye on her and not let anyone touch her clothes before she went out again.

Because they were afraid of attracting attention, Shen Tianjiao and Shen Tingzhi did not turn on the lights. However, this time they were in Huguo Temple, and because it was a royal temple, the lights were always on at night, but it was not pitch dark, making it difficult to walk.

"Jiaojiao, you'd better hold my arm and walk. The road here is not easy to walk on, so as not to fall."

In Shen Tingzhi's heart, his sister Shen Tianjiao will always be the little girl who needs his care.

"Okay." Shen Tianjiao put her hand on Shen Tingzhi's arm, and the brother and sister went to Wang Yunzhi's residence, one step deep and one step shallow.

When Shen Tianjiao appeared in front of Wang Yunzhi, Wang Yunzhi was really shocked.

Wang Yunzhi never expected that Shen Tianjiao would appear in front of him at this time.

After a brief moment of shock, Wang Yunzhi came to his senses. Although he was injured on his back, he still had to observe the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.

Wang Yunzhi was about to stand up and kowtow, but Shen Tianjiao stopped him, "Prime Minister, there's no need to be so polite. You're injured, so you can skip this formality."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your consideration."

Wang Yunzhi felt guilty when he saw Shen Tianjiao at this time. As a minister, he was unable to worry about the king. Instead, because of his own selfish desires, he almost caused the country to fall apart. He was really ashamed and could not face Shen Tianjiao.

Shen Tianjiao looked at Wang Yunzhi's expression at the moment, only smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that the Prime Minister and his wife had suddenly suffered such misfortune, so I came to Huguo Temple to take a look."

"But seeing that the Prime Minister looks well now, I am relieved."

"Prime Minister, please rest and recuperate here for the time being. Put aside the affairs of the court for now. After all, your health is the most important thing."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I truly feel ashamed to accept this."

Wang Yunzhi lowered his head. This was the first time he felt that supporting Li Chaohui was a wrong decision.

Now that he has realized his mistake, Wang Yunzhi is not a hypocritical person.

He then spoke, "Empress, I truly feel ashamed before you. As the head of all officials, I have failed to be loyal to the emperor, and I have failed to care for the lives of the people. I am truly unworthy of the high position of Prime Minister."

Shen Tianjiao looked at Wang Yunzhi, who was feeling guilty in front of her, and felt a mixture of emotions.

People say that wise men do not fall in love. Now it seems that this saying is absolutely true.

Even someone as smart as Wang Yunzhi would be confused when it comes to love.

Although I was confused for a long time, fortunately I have come to my senses now. It is not too late and everything is still in time.

"Prime Minister, there's no need to blame yourself so much. Who doesn't have moments of confusion?"

"Over the years, the Prime Minister has made invaluable contributions to Yun Li. This palace has seen it all and is deeply grateful."

"Since I became regent, the Prime Minister has repeatedly helped me escape crises. I am indescribably grateful."

"If the Prime Minister had not spoken out repeatedly in defense, I would not have been able to manage the government so smoothly."

"When the Emperor appointed my son as Crown Prince, you were the first to respond, leaving the other ministers speechless. This allowed the Crown Prince to be enthroned smoothly, ensuring the stability of the Yunli regime."

"The Prime Minister has the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the people of Yunli in his heart. This is enough. I will let bygones be bygones for the rest."

"I only hope that the Prime Minister will wholeheartedly assist the Emperor and support the Crown Prince from now on, so that our court will be clear and bright, the people will be able to live in prosperity and peace, and the seas and rivers will be clear and the world will be peaceful."

Shen Tianjiao's words undoubtedly gave Wang Yunzhi a reassurance, telling him that no matter what Wang Yunzhi had done in the past, from this moment on, those things would become the past, and she, Shen Tianjiao, would let bygones be bygones and never mention them again.

The road is the road, the bridge is the bridge, and each matter is one matter.

With Shen Tianjiao's promise, Wang Yunzhi was able to completely let go of the last hesitation in his heart, bid farewell to the past and submit to Shen Tianjiao.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, is grateful for your kindness."

Wang Yunzhi's voice was choked with sobs. He believed Shen Tianjiao's promise.

This empress, who was born in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, is a man of his words, just like her father, the Zhenbei Marquis.

Since she has talked about those things in the past and said that she will let bygones be bygones and never mention them again, then she really will let bygones be bygones and never mention them again.

This is also the biggest difference between Shen Tianjiao and Li Zhaohui. Shen Tianjiao is a truly broad-minded, tolerant and open-minded gentleman.

This is completely different from Li Chaohui's despicable behavior of using people to his advantage and not using them to his advantage.

Lying here quietly for a whole day without anyone disturbing him allowed Wang Yunzhi to completely calm down and figure out many things.

If he continues to be stubborn and refuses to change his ways, and insists on following Li Chaohui to the end, then it won't just be his wife and children who will be in trouble.

Even in the end, he might not be able to escape the disaster and avoid being murdered by Li Chaohui.

If even he himself could not escape the disaster, then the future of their entire Wang family could be imagined.

And most importantly, Wang Yunzhi knew very well that Li Chaohui was not a wise ruler like Shen Tianjiao. Even if she got Yunli's world, she would not be able to govern it well.

Rather than letting Li Chaohui take over Yunli's world, or rather, in order to let her take over Yunli's world, Yunli would be torn apart and the people would suffer, waiting to be swallowed up and divided by powerful enemies, it would be better to completely destroy her plan and let Yunli enjoy long-term stability under the governance of Shen Tianjiao.

Here we have to say that Emperor Gaozu had a sharp vision. He knew that his daughter would ultimately be a good-for-nothing, so he designed to let her stay in Anguo Temple for more than ten years.

When Emperor Gaozu set up the plan, he originally wanted Li Chaohui to meditate in Anguo Temple, let go of his obsession and greed, and earn himself a peaceful old age.

But he probably didn't expect that his daughter would have such great obsession and greed in her heart. No matter how much suffering and sin she endured, she still couldn't repent.

"From now on, I will remain loyal to the Emperor and the Crown Prince. If I show any signs of disloyalty, I will die a violent death without a proper burial place."

Wang Yunzhi's oath was truly poisonous. Who would be willing to die an unnatural death and have no place to be buried after death?

"Prime Minister, your words are too serious. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have come to the Huguo Temple today."

"The Prime Minister's injuries haven't healed yet, and he still needs a good rest. I brought a lot of healing medicine from the palace. I'll have them apply it on the Prime Minister tomorrow, and he'll surely recover soon."

"As for Madam Wang, I have also brought a lot of medicine for her. Until she recovers, I will have the female doctor stay with her."

Shen Tianjiao was about to get up and say goodbye. Wang Yunzhi was such a smart person. He knew that some things should be said just enough. It would be bad if he said too much.

"Prime Minister, please go to bed early. I'll go check on Madam Wang and see how she's doing."

Since everyone is here, they must be treated equally. After seeing Wang Yunzhi, how can I not go to visit Mrs. Wang?

"On behalf of my wife, I thank the Queen for her grace."

Originally, Wang Yunzhi was still worried about Madam Wang's health condition. When he heard from the servants that Madam Wang had woken up under the care of a female doctor, he was happy but still had a lot of worries.

Mrs. Wang was already weak, and this time she suffered such a heavy blow. She was lucky to be able to survive.

I'm afraid I'll have to be carefully taken care of for the rest of my life. Now, it's because of the female doctor in the palace that Madam Wang was able to recover so well.

However, the female doctor was a palace staff member and held an official position, so it was impossible for her to stay by Lady Wang's side and take care of her all the time.

According to the rules, even though Wang Yunzhi was the prime minister and the head of all officials, his family was not qualified to have a female doctor serving him.

Not to mention Wang Yunzhi, apart from the palace, even the princes and royal relatives were not qualified to have a female doctor.

After all, there are very few women studying medicine, and even fewer who can succeed and make achievements.

Not all the ladies in the palace are qualified to have female doctors serve them, let alone others?

Now that the Queen Mother has personally agreed to let the female doctor stay to take care of Madam Wang until she recovers, how can Wang Yunzhi not be grateful?

After leaving Wang Yunzhi's residence, Shen Tianjiao and Shen Tingzhi went to Mrs. Wang's place.

At this time, Mrs. Wang had taken the medicine and fell asleep under the effect of the medicine.

It is actually very beneficial for her to get more sleep now. During the sleep process, her pain can be relieved and it is conducive to early recovery.

"This servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

Although the female doctor held an official position, it was extremely low. In the eyes of the world, she was just a maid whose status was slightly higher than that of a palace maid.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Shen Tianjiao nodded and signaled the female doctor to get up.

Shen Tianjiao walked to Madam Wang's bed and looked at her pale face, feeling a little guilty.

Although Mrs. Wang was injured, it was an unexpected emergency, but after all, it was she who had the plan implemented. Seeing Mrs. Wang's current appearance, Shen Tianjiao felt very uncomfortable.

Before leaving, Zuo Beichen entrusted Madam Wang to Shen Tianjiao, saying that his aunt had lived a miserable life, with no support from her natal family and no love from her husband.

After he left, he asked Shen Tianjiao to take better care of Madam Wang so that her life would be better.

So this is another reason why Shen Tianjiao asked Ruan Yuhu to invite Madam Wang to the palace frequently.

Being able to frequently enter and leave the palace was equivalent to telling others that Mrs. Wang now held a prominent position and was a guest of honor of the old ancestor in the palace.

In this case, not to mention others, even Wang Yunzhi would have to be courteous in front of Mrs. Wang.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang's life was saved this time, otherwise if Zuo Beichen came back, Shen Tianjiao would not be able to report to the emperor.

"How is Madam Wang doing now?"

"In reply to the Empress, although Madam Wang's injuries were serious, she received prompt medical treatment and took life-saving pills. So as long as she takes good care of herself, her life is safe."

"As for how well she can recover after her injuries heal, that depends on her subsequent care and recovery."

The female doctor lowered her head, stood beside Shen Tianjiao, and reported to Mrs. Wang in a low voice about her current condition.

It was also thanks to Alupo Yiyinshuang that he gave Mrs. Wang the life-saving pill.
