The Return of the King: A Generation of Prodigies

Chapter 415 Anping's Destination

Ruan Yuhu was also waging a war without the smoke of gunpowder in the harem.

Before the war of the previous dynasty began, the women in the harem could no longer bear the loneliness and began to get restless.

But who is Ruan Yuhu? As the champion of the previous palace fight, she has seen all kinds of battles. How could she not know the methods and thoughts of these women in the palace?

So before those women took action, Ruan Yuhu had already predicted their predictions and taken measures in advance.

Those things that have not happened yet are nipped in the bud in time, so although the harem seems to be undercurrents, it is actually quite harmonious.

Except for two people who were particularly mischievous and were confined by Ruan Yuhu, the rest were relatively honest.

When Shen Tianjiao returned to the harem, everything was back to normal.

After Ruan Yuhu finished dealing with the affairs in the harem, he waited for Shen Tianjiao at the gate of Yuxiu Palace.

From the beginning to the end, Ruan Yuhu never doubted that Shen Tianjiao would fail this time.

When he saw Shen Tianjiao appear, Ruan Yuhu's expression was calm, no different from usual.

"I'm back. Is everything going well?"

Seeing Shen Tianjiao's unhappy expression, Ruan Yuhu was worried that something bad might have happened.

"Well, it's all over. Everything went smoothly. There weren't many casualties."

When Shen Tianjiao said that there were not too many casualties, she was referring to her own side. The people who came with Li Chaohui suffered heavy casualties.

"Then what's wrong with you? You look really bad."

Ruan Yuhu supported Shen Tianjiao, and Shen Tianjiao looked like she had encountered something bad.

"Li Zhaohui just jumped from the city gate tower and died."

Shen Tianjiao spoke softly, but the listeners felt heavy and depressed.

"Jumped from the city gate tower and died?"

Although Ruan Yuhu and Li Chaohui had a big feud, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard that Li Chaohui ended his life in this way.

"How could she resort to such extreme means and jump off the city wall and kill herself?"

"She is such a delicate person, so afraid of pain, but she chose to jump from the city gate tower. What was she thinking?"

At this time, Ruan Yuhu couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life because of Li Chaohui's death.

The grudge between the two of them came to an end with Li Chaohui's death.

"She chose to jump from the city gate tower and die in front of everyone because of Anping."

Shen Tianjiao knew that Li Chaohui's choice was all for Anping.

Although Li Chaohui is not a very good person, she is an excellent mother. She would rather give up her life for her daughter.

"Anping? How did she know Anping was in the palace?"

Ruan Yuhu opened her mouth in shock. What happened to Anping in the palace was top secret. Who let it slip and let Li Chaohui know?

If Li Chaohui knew that Anping was in the palace, then those who followed her would also know of Anping's existence, and then Anping would be in big trouble.

As the number one figure in the rebel army, if her daughter was still alive after Li Zhaohui's death, those who followed Li Zhaohui would either support Anping as the new master and use Anping to re-implement their rebellion plan.

Or those people would be afraid of being implicated by Li Chaohui's failure, so they would set their sights on An Ping and make him disappear from this world.

Ruan Yuhu now understood why Li Chaohui chose such an extreme way to die.

Li Chaohui did this to tell those who followed her that she was dead and the secrets about them were buried with her.

Shen Tianjiao will not have any leverage that can threaten them.

Women are indeed strong as mothers. Li Chaohui was willing to die for his daughter.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yuhu felt that she didn't hate Li Chaohui so much anymore. Compared to herself, Li Chaohui had done a good enough job as a mother.

"She didn't know Anping was in the palace. She only saw Anping before she died."

"I don't know how Anping appeared out of nowhere. I was the one who told Li Zhaohui that Anping was her daughter."

"That's why Li Zhaohui chose to use his own life to protect Anping's lifelong peace and security."

Shen Tianjiao did not tell Ruan Yuhu that it was actually Li Chaohui who wanted to threaten her with Anping's life, and she was forced to tell the secret that Anping was Li Chaohui's daughter.

No matter what kind of person Li Chaohui was before or what she had done, she is dead now, and everything in the past has become a thing of the past and disappeared.

Let Li Chaohui remain in everyone’s memory as a good mother.

"Did Anping run away on his own?"

Ruan Yuhu was even more shocked at this time. Anping was staying well in the greenhouse, so why did he suddenly run to the corridor leading out of the imperial city?

"Yes, she ran there on her own."

No other people were found at the scene, so Shen Tianjiao could only assume that Anping ran to the corridor on his own.

"Perhaps this was God's arrangement. He knew this was the last chance for mother and daughter to see each other, so he guided Anping there so she could see her mother one last time."

"But it's a good thing this way. Li Zhaohui fulfilled her wish and saw her daughter. Now she can leave peacefully without any regrets."

Shen Tianjiao is now too lazy to pursue the truth of the matter. She just thinks that all this is God's arrangement.

This also put her mind at ease. She had originally planned to let the mother and daughter meet before Li Zhaohui died.

We must let Anping know that she actually has a mother and is not an orphan who is not loved by anyone.

But Anping is still in a coma. It seems that he is frightened. I don’t know if he will remember what happened today after he wakes up.

Did she know that the person who held her in his arms and cried with her today was her biological mother?

If he really didn't remember, that was fine too. At least he wouldn't leave Anping with painful memories that would torment her for the rest of her life and make her restless.

If Li Chaohui were to choose, she would probably choose to let Anping forget what happened today, not let her suffer from pain, and live her life in peace, happiness and contentment.

"No, get someone to investigate immediately. This is no small matter."

Ruan Yuhu felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. You know, she originally placed Anping in the greenhouse because it was not only remote but also rarely visited by people on weekdays.

Moreover, she had arranged her own people to guard the greenhouse. Now that something like this has happened, how can Ruan Yuhu feel at ease if she doesn't investigate it thoroughly?

Ruan Yuhu called Ju Ruo over without waiting for Shen Tianjiao to speak.

"Go and investigate for yourself to find out exactly what went wrong. You must investigate thoroughly and not miss any details."

"Yes, the servant understands."

Ju Ruo turned around and went out. She was going to do what Ruan Yuhu asked her to do.

"Auntie, don't be angry."

Seeing Ruan Yuhu's serious look, Shen Tianjiao didn't take it seriously. No matter how Anping got to the corridor today, it didn't matter.

The palace is no longer safe for Anping. The most urgent task now is to find a new place for Anping where she can live a stable life without any disturbance.

"Anping can't stay in the palace anymore. We need to send her away immediately before those people get their hands on her."

"Yes, we must send her away immediately. If she stays in the palace any longer, she will be in big trouble."

Ruan Yuhu had already realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, rather than investigating how Anping got to the tunnel.

What is more important right now is how to arrange a good place for her.

"Jiaojiao, do you have a place to put her?"

Shen Tianjiao shook her head and said, "I don't know where to put her. What's the most appropriate place."

"The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is absolutely not an option. I don't know how many eyes are staring at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion right now."

"Normally, there aren't many people in the mansion, but now there's suddenly a little girl here. Those with ulterior motives will try their best to find out Anping's identity."

"Don't let Anping's situation go unsolved by then, and instead bring disaster to the Zhenbei Marquisate."

Anping must be properly resettled, but he must not be placed in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Putting her family in danger for the sake of Anping is not something Shen Tianjiao would do. She is not that generous and philanthropic.

In Shen Tianjiao's heart, her family always comes first.

But looking around, apart from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Shen Tianjiao really had no other place where she could properly settle down.

"Aunt, do you have any?"

Shen Tianjiao threw the question back to Ruan Yuhu. Ruan Yuhu smiled and shook his head, saying, "No."

Settling down in Anping is not a difficult task, but the difficulty now lies in the fact that we must choose the right place.

This place must be safe and undisturbed, so as to ensure Anping's personal safety without attracting other people's attention.

But now it is too difficult for them to find such a place.

Although Shen Tianjiao is now extremely powerful, many people are watching her every move. Even though the palace has undergone several major inspections, it cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely safe.

Once Anping's whereabouts are exposed, it will not be just Anping who will be in trouble.

The first person those people wanted to make things difficult for was Shen Tianjiao. After all, Anping had a special identity. She was the daughter of Li Chaohui, a traitor.

Those who wanted to get rid of Anping as soon as possible were not only Li Chaohui's accomplices, but more importantly, the ministers in the court.

The reason they wanted Anping to die was simply to stand from the perspective of so-called justice and use their so-called righteousness to judge the descendants of a treasonous minister in order to satisfy their loyalty as ministers.

"Hey, Jiaojiao, I've just thought of someone. I think it would be appropriate to leave Anping at their house for the time being."

Ruan Yuhu thought about it over and over again, and finally came up with a suitable candidate.

"Who is this person Auntie is talking about?"

Shen Tianjiao looked at Ruan Yuhu in confusion. Is it possible to find such a person in the entire Shangjing City?

"That's Changyuanbo Gong Jianzhou."

When Ruan Yuhu said this, Shen Tianjiao suddenly felt that a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, and she could rest assured.

Shen Tianjiao had really forgotten about Gong Jianzhou completely just now.

In fact, this is not Shen Tianjiao's fault. The main reason is that Gong Jianzhou is now immersed in the construction of the intelligence network and he has not been seen for a long time.

Thinking about it, the Changyuan Marquis Mansion in Gong Jianzhou is indeed a good place for Anping to settle down.

Gong Jianzhou is one of us, so there is no need to worry about him leaking secrets or not being able to take good care of Anping.

Compared to letting himself or the Marquis of Zhenbei to settle Anping, the Marquis of Changyuan's Mansion is more suitable.

Since Gong Jianzhou was named the Earl of Changyuan by Shen Tianjiao, he gradually disappeared from the public's sight and became a transparent person who did not attract anyone's attention.

In this case, who could have thought that Shen Tianjiao would place Anping in the Changyuan Earl's Mansion?

Send Anping to the Changyuan Earl's Mansion so that she can recuperate there without any disturbance.

After the storm has passed, we can find another way to accommodate her.

"Xia He, go and call Gong Jianzhou to the palace."

Shen Tianjiao is an absolute action-oriented person. She makes up her mind one second and takes action the next.

After sending Xia He away, Shen Tianjiao felt relieved. After all, she had solved a big problem.

"By the way, where's that girl Anping?"

Ruan Yuhu and Shen Tianjiao have been planning for Anping for so long, but they still don't know where the real culprit is.

"Her." Shen Tianjiao lowered her head and thought for a moment before speaking. "When she and Li Zhaohui met, something unexpected happened. A rebel tried to hurt me with a short arrow, but Yan Yu discovered it."

"He shot the rebel on the spot. Because Anping was close, the rebel's blood splashed on her body, and she fainted from fright."

"The imperial physician is still treating her. We don't know what she will be like when she wakes up. Will she remember what happened today, or will she forget everything?"

Ruan Yuhu didn't expect that there would be such a tortuous situation.

"If she wakes up and doesn't remember anything, it will be a good thing for her."

Anping's life was destined to be troublesome from the moment she was born.

If she remembered everything, then her life would be very hard and painful for the rest of her life.

But if she didn't remember anything, then she wouldn't have to be constrained by her identity. She could still be a carefree and peaceful person, and just live her life peacefully.
