Chapter 416 Defeating Them One by One
Cheng Ruojin blushed slightly upon hearing the implication in her voice before saying, "Sister, you're laughing at me."
"Admiration is human nature; why not have Uncle Shi go and find out?" Shen Li said seriously.
According to what she knew from her previous life, Wei Zheng was a man who devoted himself to political affairs and had never been married, for reasons she did not know.
Although Cheng Ruojin was shy, she still nodded.
The father was skilled at finding a son-in-law after the imperial examination results were announced.
That very night, Wei Zheng was surrounded by a group of high-ranking officials and taken home by Cheng Sheng, the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.
On nights when the gates of Prince Yi's mansion were tightly shut, the Flying Fish Guards were active in the shadows, gathering evidence.
At this time, Shen Li had already eaten and was playing chess with Gu Chang'an on the couch.
“The gates of the Prince Yi’s mansion are rarely closed,” Shen Li said with a smile.
The banquets usually flowed like water, with everyone still toasting and drinking happily even after curfew. Such a quiet time was truly rare.
Gu Chang'an felt somewhat relieved when he saw a smile on her face. After placing a piece, he said, "I'm afraid this time it won't be short. Consider it a lesson for him."
"But I'm curious, didn't my husband say he couldn't find any clues?" Shen Li asked, puzzled. "Could it be a frame-up?"
“Ah Li is clever. Even though the person is dead, we can still say what he did is what we believe to be true.”
Shen Li understood; it was indeed the case. However, she still had a question that remained unanswered.
If it's not the King of Chess, then who could it be?
Who else would have such a motive to do such a thing?
She always felt that an invisible hand was reaching out in front of her, but she had no clue what it was.
“Since that person made a move, he must have something in mind. And if he has something in mind, he won’t stop after doing just one thing. We will definitely be able to catch him.” Gu Chang’an saw that Shen Li had fallen into thought again and knew what she was thinking.
Shen Li nodded slightly, then put the chess piece back into the chess box. Looking at Gu Chang'an, she said with a hint of coquetry, "Husband, I'm sleepy. Let's rest."
"Okay." Gu Chang'an got up and hugged her.
Shen Li leaned into his arms. She noticed that in the two years since her rebirth, her husband's body had become warmer and warmer, which meant he was almost fully recovered.
The two lay in bed, Shen Li still snuggling close to him: "Husband, you still haven't asked me what happened to Consort Zheng?"
Gu Chang'an knew perfectly well what was going on, but upon hearing this, he slapped his forehead, his voice becoming surprised: "Can I ask A-Li if she can tell me?"
Shen Li smiled. Gu Chang'an didn't say he didn't know, so it seemed he wouldn't lie about such a small matter.
“Nothing can be hidden from my husband. I really couldn’t stand her, so I sent a message to Bai Wuyou asking him to secretly poison her.”
With Bai Wuyou's skills, it wouldn't be easy for him to be caught.
“In this way, she can’t even plead for mercy, and the King of Yi and his daughter can’t take care of each other inside and outside the palace, which saves a lot of trouble.” Gu Chang’an expressed his approval of Shen Li’s actions.
“Take them down one by one.” Shen Li narrowed her eyes and said, “My cousin is getting better soon. I have some news for you, my husband. Please deliver it to Wan’er.”
"Okay." Gu Chang'an inhaled her scent and gently kissed her earlobe.
"Ah Li..." she called softly.
Shen Li yawned widely, her drowsiness evident on her face.
"Is Ah Li tired?" Gu Chang'an asked.
"Just a little bit," Shen Li said apologetically.
Gu Chang'an chuckled softly and kissed her forehead: "Okay, let's go to sleep."
