The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Chapter 367 Knowing the truth



Chapter 367 Knowing the truth

At this moment, Ruan Yuhu only felt dizzy and her eyes were dark. She could already foresee the seriousness of the matter.

She retreated back to her chair and sat down, holding her chest with her hand and said, "Okay, I'm sitting down. Tell me what you want to say."

Yu Po watched Ruan Yuhu swallow nervously, then slowly said, "Grandfather, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess are now with the Master at Ziyun Villa."

"They have both been infected with the plague, and the master is guarding them now."

Yu Po's words were like a thunderclap to Ruan Yuhu, hitting him directly.

Ruan Yuhu could never have imagined that why Li Muyang and his sister, who were living well in Fu Sheng Ruo Meng, would suddenly run to Ziyun Villa, and why Shen Tianjiao, who was supposed to be in Huguo Temple, suddenly went to Ziyun Villa again?

Now, not only the two children were infected with the plague, but Shen Tianjiao was also with them. Ruan Yuhu suddenly felt powerless as if the sky was falling.

She had never encountered anything in her life that made her so scared and powerless.

"Ancestor, are you okay?" Yu Po was indeed frightened when he saw Ruan Yuhu like this.

She quickly stood up, rushed to Ruan Yuhu's side, reached out and stroked Ruan Yuhu's chest to help her calm down.

At this time, the old ancestor must not get into any trouble, otherwise the palace will be in chaos.

Ruan Yuhu finally recovered. She looked at Yupo and asked, "Jiaojiao, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Yes, the master said, please go find that person and think of a solution. She is an expert in making and using poisons. Maybe she has a solution."

Yu Po now places all her hopes on Duan Qingning. As long as Duan Qingning can save Li Muyang and his sister, she will be willing to end her life without complaint even if it means her death.

Ruan Yuhu calmed herself down. After all, she had experienced many ups and downs. No matter how panicked she was, she could still stay calm when she needed to.

"Girl, listen carefully. This matter must not be known to anyone else in the palace except you and me."

Ruan Yuhu knew very well that whether it was Qiong Niang, Chun Chao or Xia He, they were all unstable people. If they knew that Li Muyang and his sister were infected with the plague, and Shen Tianjiao was with them.

Then, before anyone else could cause chaos in the palace, they themselves would start chaos first.

"Yes, don't worry, ancestor. No one else will know about this from Yupo's mouth except you."

Yu Po is not stupid, how could she not know the importance of this matter? She can believe in the loyalty of Qiong Niang and others, but she does not believe in their ability to resist.

After all, I was so panicked by this matter that I was at a loss as to what to do, let alone them.

"Come on, follow me to see Madam Duan now. After meeting her, take her out of the palace and go to Ziyun Villa."

"Let her go to Ziyun Villa to treat Mu'er and An'an. And you should not come back. Stay with Jiaojiao and help her."

"After all, Ziyun Villa is not our territory, Jiaojiao needs someone to help her."

Ruan Yuhu had calmed down at this time. She knew that the most important thing was to ensure that Shen Tianjiao and her mother and son were safe.

Other things can be taken slowly, but the safety of mother and child cannot be treated as a joke.

Shen Tianjiao is now the powerful Queen Regent, and Li Muyang is the future Crown Prince. They are responsible for the future of the entire Yunli.

So, absolutely nothing can happen to them.

"Grandfather, the master has the Marquis and the Second Young Master with him, and General Wang's men are also guarding Ziyun Villa now."

"So the master and the two young masters will be fine. I will send the person I trust most to escort Madam Duan to Ziyun Villa."

"And I will stay and find out the source of this plague."

"The master suspects that this plague was intentionally caused by Li Zhaohui. After all, she is colluding with the people of Nanchu, and the people of Nanchu are best at spreading this kind of deadly stuff to defeat their enemies."

"If the source of this plague is not found, once the disease spreads, it will be a real problem."

Yu Po still knew what was more important. She knew that the safety of Shen Tianjiao and her mother and son was important, but finding the source of the plague and blocking it was equally important.

Hearing that the Marquis of Zhenbei and his son were also at Ziyun Villa, Ruan Yuhu was no longer so panicked.

"Okay, let's go find Mrs. Duan."

Ruan Yuhu had made up her mind today. No matter whether Duan Qingning had any way to deal with it today, she had to force Duan Qingning to go to Ziyun Villa.

She doesn't care even if she has to use some inhuman means and act like a despicable villain.

Even if Duan Qingning doesn't have a solution, she is an expert in this field after all. If she is forced, she will always be able to come up with a solution.

As long as Shen Tianjiao and her son are safe and sound, Ruan Yuhu is willing to do anything.

As soon as Ruan Yuhu and Yu Po went out, they met Qiong Niang who came to Ruan Yuhu to seek help.

Qiong Niang is now handling the affairs of the palace and the court on behalf of Shen Tianjiao. Now a plague has broken out in the palace. This plague is contagious. If there is no response plan and it spreads, the situation will be beyond human control.

"Yu Po, why are you here?" Qiong Niang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yu Po coming back.

Yu Po is Shen Tianjiao's personal bodyguard. If Yu Po returns to the palace, it means that Shen Tianjiao has also returned.

If Shen Tianjiao came back, Qiong Niang would feel like she had found a backbone and no longer had to be afraid.

"She came back to take Madam Duan out of the palace to find the source of the plague. Jiaojiao is still outside the palace and has important things to do. She can't come back for the time being."

"If you have anything to say, just wait here until I come back."

Before Yu Po opened her mouth to answer Qiong Niang's question, Ruan Yuhu answered for her.

She was afraid that Yu Po would see Qiong Niang showing her fear, and that Qiong Niang, such a shrewd person, would notice something. She had too many things to deal with right now.

But he didn't want to take on the responsibility of comforting Qiong Niang at this time.

"Oh." When Qiong Niang heard that Shen Tianjiao did not come back, she was indeed disappointed, but this disappointment soon disappeared.

Since Ruan Yuhu said that Shen Tianjiao is not coming back now because she has important matters to deal with, it must be a very important matter.

Shen Tianjiao has important matters to deal with, so she can't slack off in the palace. All of them have to work together to get through this difficult time.

Ruan Yuhu didn't bother to waste time with Qiong Niang. After she finished speaking, she hurried away with Yu Po.

When he arrived at Duan Qingning's place, Ruan Yuhu dismissed his attendants and said to Duan Qingning directly, "The Queen has encountered a very difficult situation and needs you to leave the palace to help her."

Faced with Ruan Yuhu's straightforward request, Duan Qingning was very calm. Although she didn't know what had happened yet, it was definitely not a good thing that Ruan Yuhu came to her so late.

She herself is an expert in making and using poisons. If the Queen wants her help, then she must have encountered difficulties in this area.

"Okay, let's go now." Duan Qingning agreed very readily.

Shen Tianjiao saved the lives of both mother and daughter, and helping Shen Tianjiao solve her problems was her job.

More importantly, Duan Qingning has figured out one thing these days.

That is, she wants revenge, wants her daughter to have a safe and secure future, and all this depends on Shen Tianjiao.

If they left Shen Tianjiao's protection, let alone what Duan Qingning was planning, I'm afraid that both mother and daughter would have a hard time surviving.

So Duan Qingning was willing to help Shen Tianjiao do anything.

Duan Qingning also knew that as long as she was willing to help Shen Tianjiao solve her problems, then in return, Shen Tianjiao would definitely help her take revenge and give herself and her daughter a stable future.

Duan Qingning agreed so readily, which was a bit beyond Ruan Yuhu's expectations.

After all, Chao Yun had just woken up a few days ago. As a mother who loves her daughter dearly, Duan Qingning could have completely rejected Ruan Yuhu's request and stayed with her daughter to take care of her.

But Duan Qingning did not refuse and agreed directly. This shows that she is also a clear-headed person who knows when to advance and retreat and knows what to do in different situations.

This made Ruan Yuhu very satisfied, and he couldn't help but look up to Duan Qingning a little.

After all, she is a woman from the royal family, and her knowledge is really unmatched by ordinary people.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to take good care of Chaoyun. When you come back, I'll definitely give you a Chaoyun that's ten times better than the one you have now."

Duan Qingning helped Shen Tianjiao and solved her problems, so she and Chaoyun would be treated preferentially by Ruan Yuhu.

"I have nothing to worry about. You took good care of Chaoyun when I was away before."

Duan Qingning knew very well that if Shen Tianjiao had not been generous in giving Chao Yun so many expensive medicines, Chao Yun would never have been able to survive until he found her.

So she was not worried at all that Chaoyun would be abused in the palace.

This is another reason why she is willing to help Shen Tianjiao. Shen Tianjiao is an admirable person. She keeps her word and is grateful for the help she receives.

At the beginning, without knowing that she was Chaoyun's mother, she promised herself that as long as she could save Chaoyun, she would agree to any request she made.

In fact, Shen Tianjiao had done her best for Chao Yun at that time, and she didn't need to cause trouble for herself anymore.

But Shen Tianjiao still chose to save Chaoyun at any cost. Not everyone has such a broad mind and tolerance.

This also made Duan Qingning determined to let go of the grudges in his heart and follow Shen Tianjiao to the end.

"Then let's go now."

If Duan Qingning delays here for a moment longer, Shen Tianjiao and her mother and son will be in greater danger.

Ruan Yuhu wished she could give Duan Qingning a pair of wings so that she could fly to Ziyun Villa immediately.

"Don't worry, ask someone to get the medicine box from the cabinet in my room."

"It contains the detoxification pills I made not long ago. Since you've come to me and asked me to help, I think this thing should be useful."

Duan Qingning is a person who likes to plan ahead. The unfortunate experiences she has had over the years have made her develop the habit of preparing for everything in advance.

However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the detoxification pills she had made came in handy at this time.

When Ruan Yuhu heard the words "detoxification pills", his eyes lit up.

The medicine refined by Duan Qingning is incomparable to ordinary medicine.

Even if these pills cannot cure the plague, they can at least save lives.

"Yupo, go get it."

Ruan Yuhu's tone was trembling slightly when he ordered Yu Po to get the medicine.

"What does this pill do, and how much have you taken?"

Duan Qingning could already sense the seriousness of the matter from Ruan Yuhu's tone.

It must be something very important and dangerous that could make Ruan Yuhu, who is always calm and composed, like this.

Duan Qingning couldn't help but cheer up at this moment. "The function of this pill is naturally to detoxify, but its detoxification ability is more than ten times that of ordinary detoxification pills."

"Let me put it this way, as long as it's not a poison that kills instantly, eating it can save you."

"It's just that the medicinal materials used in this pill are precious and numerous, and the process is quite complicated, so I only have three here."

Duan Qingning's words not only made Ruan Yuhu's eyes light up, but also made her heart almost jump out.

If what Duan Qingning said was true, then Shen Tianjiao and her mother and son could be saved this time.

It really is God's blessing. How could such a coincidence happen that Duan Qingning just happened to have the detoxification pills, and exactly three, no more, no less.

These three pills are just right for Shen Tianjiao and her son to take. This will at least ensure their lives are safe. As long as they can save their lives, everything else will be easy.

Now it seems that Duan Qingning is really a lucky star. With her, I don’t have to worry about being caught off guard when a situation like this happens.

"Madam Duan, something urgent has happened in the capital. Would you be willing to share the recipe for the detoxification pills? Then the doctors in the Imperial Hospital can make more pills according to the recipe to save people."

This is the first time that Ruan Yuhu has been so polite to Duan Qingning. She used to make demands on Duan Qingning, but now she is asking him for help. The change is really big.

Duan Qingning was stunned for a moment, then he understood that something really big must have happened in Shangjing City, otherwise Ruan Yuhu would never have this attitude.

"I'll take out the prescription, no problem, but the herbs used in the detoxification pills are not ordinary herbs. Even if I take out the prescription, it will be difficult to make a large amount."

"Besides, the antidote pills are too potent. If you haven't been poisoned by something special, they're actually useless."
