Chapter 393 The Lovely Saintess

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Master. The Holy Son was delayed by some matters and will return to the capital soon." Bai Ruoxue's voice was full of apology.

Shen Li glanced at her, but saw no trace of guilt in those clear, watery eyes.

She smiled in surprise: "Miss Bai, I have a question for you, you don't have to answer it."

“Your Majesty, Ruoxue will speak without reservation.”

"This is our first meeting. Why are you, a holy maiden, so so polite to me..." Shen Li thought for a moment before saying, "You're too kind."

"The Holy Son told Ruoxue in private that you are the master of the Red Lotus Sect, and that the Red Lotus Sect will follow your lead in the future," Bai Ruoxue replied without hesitation.

"So you don't have any other thoughts?" Shen Li was puzzled; she had never seen such an obedient girl.

Bai Ruoxue nodded: "Yes, you saved the Holy Son, and Ruoxue is grateful to you for that alone."

"Oh?" Shen Li laughed, a hint of gossip in her voice. "So, your relationship with Bai Wuyou is more than just superficial?"

"No, no, that's not it." Bai Ruoxue waved her hands repeatedly, her eyes red with anxiety. "I have no other relationship with the Holy Son. Please don't misunderstand."

"What did I misunderstand? Why are you panicking?" Shen Li laughed even harder: "You're quite an interesting child."

"In short, please don't misunderstand. The Holy Son treats Ruoxue like a younger sister, and Ruoxue has absolutely no improper thoughts," Bai Ruoxue continued to explain.

"Okay, okay." Shen Li thought to herself, is it really necessary to explain to her?

Bai Wuyou wasn't her mistress.

After seeing Bai Ruoxue and the others off, Shen Li ate grilled fish while waiting for someone to arrive.

When the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture heard that Shen Li was in danger, he personally led the city's defense soldiers out of the city.

While the servants collected the body, Cheng Sheng led Shen Li aside and asked, "Niece, what happened this time?"

Shen Li blinked. Why "again"? She didn't always get into trouble, did she?

"Uncle, I swear to God, she came to kill me. I did nothing." Shen Li shrugged.

"Then why were they the ones who died?" Cheng Sheng asked sincerely.

"Several righteous people passed by and saw injustice."

"Really?" Cheng Sheng asked in a low voice, "If it weren't for Uncle Shi having a good idea of ​​what was going on, he could have covered it up for you."

"Thank you, Uncle. It's true. Just follow the normal procedures." Shen Li said, then lowered her voice, "Just make it sound serious when you report it."

Cheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Don't worry, I know what to do."

Seeing these assassins, he knew in his heart that the Zheng family was finished.

Raising assassins is tantamount to treason; no one can protect their family.

He increasingly felt that choosing Shen Li was the right choice. The King of Chess originally had an absolute advantage, but now his two biggest allies, Chief Minister Wu and Minister Zheng, had fallen from power.

Whether the King of Chess can hold onto his position is truly uncertain.

Shen Li went back to Shuntian Prefecture to give her statement, and Zheng Yanran was also taken back, but she just stared blankly and didn't say anything, as if she had lost her soul.

But even if she said nothing, it wouldn't change the fact that Emperor Cheng summoned Cheng Sheng to the palace as soon as he heard the news.

That afternoon, the Flying Fish Guards took control of the Zheng family, imprisoning everyone and confiscating their property.

Even when King Yi learned the news, there was nothing he could do. He tried to distance himself from Zheng Yanran while cursing her, saying that this woman was simply insane and dared to call upon her assassins without authorization.

That was something he had saved for a desperate last stand, but now it has become a weapon that has been used against him. He is utterly useless and more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!

If the Emperor knew that he had such a hidden plan, he would definitely be more wary of him.

What will become of us in the future?
