Chapter 394 Bai Wuyou's Return

Chapter 394 Bai Wuyou's Return

Shen Li hadn't expected Zheng Yanran to bring about her own demise, which saved her a lot of trouble.

The Zheng family's affair shocked the entire capital, but everyone, regardless of whether they had any connection with the Zheng family, chose to protect themselves, and no one dared to speak out for the Zheng family.

There were even signs of a crisis, with everyone turning against Zheng, especially the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who went directly to Gu Chang'an and handed over a lot of evidence of Minister Zheng's abuse of power for personal gain over the years.

This person sided with Gu Chang'an out of public interest and also to advance his own career.

Emperor Cheng was not unaware of Minister Zheng's behavior before, but he turned a blind eye because he wanted to elevate Prince Yi to the throne and squeeze out the Crown Prince.

Now, however, he can no longer tolerate the Zheng family.

Even if he didn't abandon his son, he still had to eliminate the forces under his son's command.

Consort Zheng had requested an audience with Emperor Cheng many times, but not only was she not summoned, she was also imprisoned in the palace on the grounds of impeachment from the court, supposedly to reflect on her actions behind closed doors.

The emperor's attitude undoubtedly showed the outside world that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, so the impeachment memorials intensified.

At this time, the Yi Wang faction has reduced its voice, after all, they are afraid that arguing will implicate them. Whether they are loyal to Yi Wang or are fence-sitters, they try to avoid suspicion at this time to avoid getting involved.

One of the things that made Shen Li even happier recently was that Bai Wuyou had returned, still dressed in white, with a mischievous look in his eyes, and full of youthful vigor.

"You're back?" She looked at the man who was a head taller than her. After not seeing him for so long, she felt a sense of warmth and familiarity.

How wonderful it would be if she had a younger brother like that.

A smile appeared on Bai Wuyou's usually serious face: "Hmm."

"How did things go?" Shen Li asked as she ordered her servants to pour tea.

"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; the remaining remnants will be easily wiped out." Bai Wuyou looked at her with some concern: "But you, I heard you've encountered an extremely troublesome matter. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"It was a bit tricky, but it's been resolved." Shen Li didn't seem bothered by her experience and continued, "How's the cleanup of my island going?"

"It's proceeding according to plan, but it will take time to complete the improvements and construction."

Shen Li nodded slightly and said, "You also need to do something for me when you go to the palace this time."

"Go ahead," Bai Wuyou said without the slightest hesitation.

"Then you should tell the emperor that you have heard of a miraculous elixir overseas and that you need a fleet to set sail in search of it," Shen Li said meaningfully.

Bai Wuyou thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You want to trick him into building a ship?"

"No, it's the fleet," Shen Li explained innocently.

Bai Wuyou gasped upon hearing this: "As expected of an official of the imperial court, you have quite the appetite."

Needless to say, this fleet was prepared for her own use.

"You've hit the nail on the head." Shen Li didn't deny it, but then asked, "Is it difficult?"

"Don't worry, it wouldn't be difficult for me to kill him even if you asked me to." Bai Wuyou shrugged. "He's muddled-headed; he'll believe whatever I say."

Looking at Bai Wuyou's ethereal and otherworldly aura emanating from within, Shen Li realized that while Emperor Cheng was an emperor in the court, he was just an ordinary person when it came to faith.

Ordinary people are extremely devout and irrational about the beliefs they have held for most of their lives.

This is especially true for intelligent people.

After all, intelligent people often arrogantly believe they can see through everything, that they are different from others and are chosen by heaven.

This can be said to be Emperor Cheng's most fatal weakness.
