When Shen Li came back, Fang Yao was talking to the emperor in the imperial study.

While playing chess, the king and his minister discussed how to punish the Yao family.

Fang Yao put down his son and said nonchalantly, "Instead of Your Majesty worrying about this, why not let the eldest prince handle the matter? After all, the Queen Chu who was murdered was the eldest prince's biological mother. If he comes forward, Your Majesty should not judge the outcome. No matter what the outcome is, the Chu family can't say the eldest prince is wrong. What do you think?"

The emperor held the chess piece in his hand, thought for a long time, and nodded, "My dear minister, you are right. It is settled."

Then he said to the eunuch Chang beside him, "Remember to tell the eldest prince, and remember to tell the Chu family that it was the general who asked to hand the matter over to the eldest prince to resolve, not me. If the Chu family is dissatisfied with anything, let them go to the general."

Uh.

Fang Yao stared at the emperor in amazement, nearly losing control of the chess piece in his hand. "Your Majesty, is this appropriate for you? You don't want to offend the Chu family, so you sent me here... So you were deliberately waiting for me to say those words so that others would think it was my idea?"

"Wasn't it your idea?" the emperor said calmly, "I didn't give you any hints. Everything was your suggestion. Well, I can't interfere too much. My dear, your idea is very good. It's settled."

Fang Yao......

Eunuch Chang was listening to the two of them talking with a smile on his face. A young eunuch hurried in from outside, walked up to him and whispered something.

Eunuch Chang looked up in surprise and subconsciously glanced at Fang Yao.

"What's the matter? Just tell me," Fang Yao glanced at him and said casually, "The emperor will know sooner or later anyway, so why keep it so secretive?"

The emperor chuckled, threw down the chess piece, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said to Eunuch Chang, "Speak now. If you don't, he'll think we're just pretending to be each other."

Eunuch Chang also smiled, his tone revealing an unconcealed surprise as he said, "Someone from the General's Mansion reported that Miss Shen has returned. She said she completed her mission successfully and brought back two black bears for the General, each weighing two to three hundred pounds."

"Oh?" The emperor became interested upon hearing this and asked Fang Yao hurriedly, "It's getting cold, aren't black bears hibernating? Where did she hunt them?"

Fang Yao was so excited that he didn't keep his mouth shut in front of the emperor. He immediately raised his chin and said proudly, "Didn't the Northern Di and Western Qiang start fighting? In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to exaggerate the situation and make the fight more intense. However, I am worried about the emperor and cannot leave the capital, so I asked Li'er to go on a trip for me and ask her to stir up trouble for the two warring parties."

"From what I heard, she has already done what I ordered. It was so quick. Hahaha, after all, she is my niece, and she follows my uncle. Your Majesty, I will not play chess with you anymore. I have to hurry back to the palace to see the black bear that Li'er brought back. Speaking of which, I haven't had bear paws in a long time. I'm drooling just thinking about it."

He threw the chess piece aside and pressed the table to get up, but the emperor was not happy. "Wait a minute, wait a minute, what did you say? Bear paw? Do you mean you want to eat alone?"

Fang Yao scratched his head and chuckled, "I dare not. I will order someone to chop off the two fattest bear paws and send them to the palace as a tribute to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

The emperor snorted lightly, as if he was satisfied with his answer, but suddenly his mind flashed, and he felt something was wrong, "Huh? No, you asked Shen Li to go to the place where the Northern Di and Western Qiang were fighting to cause trouble? When did it happen? The Queen Mother's people saw her at Ding Lan's funeral a few days ago. It's only been a few days, and she couldn't reach the northwest border even if she traveled day and night, let alone rush back. Fang Yao, how dare you lie to me? Do you think anyone can learn Chen'er's instant teleportation? Do you think your niece has this ability? I think you are dreaming, and you dare to talk nonsense."

Originally, Fang Yao felt bad that the emperor had taken both of his paws. Now, when he heard the emperor say that his niece was incompetent and how capable the eldest prince was, he felt extremely dissatisfied.

In addition, it is obvious that what Li'er did on the battlefields of Beidi and Xiqiang cannot be concealed. The emperor will find out soon, and then he will have to waste time explaining it.

Then he raised his chin again and said even more proudly, "Your Majesty, please don't underestimate your niece. Speaking of which, the eldest prince learned the instantaneous teleportation from Li'er..."

"Nonsense," the emperor didn't believe it at all. Before he could finish, he retorted, "It's impossible. How could a girl like her learn such advanced Kung Fu..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped.

The fragments that flashed through his mind reminded him of what Xiao Zhao had said.

"Shen Li captured my son and me, threw my son down and hit Yao Xun, and then threw me into the Queen's bedroom..."

At that time, they all said that Xiao Zhao was possessed by a demon and was biting people randomly.

But what if Shen Li really can teleport sequentially?

Everything can be explained.

"What did Shen Li do?" he asked.

Fang Yao said, "Go add fuel to the fire between the warring Northern Di and Western Qiang, and let them fight to the death."

"How could she accomplish so much in just a few days?"

"Why not? As long as she can exert her full strength, she can reach that place in the blink of an eye. It's very easy."

"So, what Xiao Zhao said at the time, that Shen Li abducted her to the palace, is true?"

Fang Yao was stunned, his mouth wide open, unable to utter a word.

"Fang Yao, you dare to play tricks in front of me. Tell me, is there anything else you haven't told me honestly? Tell me."

Fang Yao glanced at the emperor and chuckled twice, "Your Majesty, laugh if you want. I know you're actually very happy. Regardless of whether it was Li'er who threw Xiao Zhao into the palace, at least the matter of Empress Chu has been clarified, right? Once this matter is settled, even if you don't write to Chu Hengsheng, he will come running back to apologize to you."

"Humph, with his bad temper, he would apologize to me? I'm just too nice to you guys on weekdays. One of you dared to throw a tantrum at me and not return to the capital for more than ten years, and the other dared to hide such a big thing from me."

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I only learned the truth afterward, but at that time, things were happening one after another in the palace. I was completely focused on how to protect you and the Queen Mother. How could I have the time to talk about this?"

The emperor still didn't quite believe him. "You said your niece can teleport instantly, right? Maybe Chen'er taught her. How can you say she taught Chen'er? I don't believe it. I think you are bragging. You are just bragging."

Fang Yao looked up at the sky, afraid that the emperor would roll his eyes at him.

People in high positions are always unwilling to admit that they are inferior to others. The emperor is the same. He refuses to admit that his son is inferior to someone else's niece.
