Shen Li shot a few more needles at Huo Nanlian without stopping. She also knew that Huo Nanlian was good at martial arts and these needles could not do anything to her.

But her purpose was not to kill her, just to force her to retreat.

"Madam Gu, you want to kill people in front of us to silence them. Even if you are a martial arts expert, you don't take us seriously."

"Hmph! I've already told you where the person is being held. Now the driver should be handed over to me. You have no right to interfere whether I kill him or not." Huo Nanlian said coldly.

"We don't see anyone now. You are so anxious that you might be lying to us." Shen Li said.

Qin Yu and the two guards had also stopped. After all, Huo Nanlian's assassination had failed and they had lost the opportunity.

If the two sides really start fighting at this time, the situation may be out of control.

For Huo Nanlian, Wang Ping has not been captured yet, and for Shen Li, he doesn't know whether the Shen family is really in the oil mill in Xifang City.

Both sides have concerns.

But Shen Li felt that what Huo Nanlian said might be true. In the original book, after Yu Tian got married, he and his wife did run an oil mill and lived an ordinary life.

But Chen Zheng never came back, and she couldn't tell what was going on.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Chen Zheng finally arrived.

He nodded slightly to Qin Yu.

Shen Li naturally saw it as well. It seemed that the person should have been rescued.

At this time, Qin Yu and Shen Li were in sync and knew what to do next.

When Huo Nanlian saw Chen Zheng coming, she guessed that things might have changed, so she took action immediately.

The only person here who can defeat her is Chen Zheng.

The two men quickly started fighting.

The remaining secret guards and the guards brought by Huo Nanlian also started fighting.

Shen Li and Qin Yu, together with the driver, practiced their martial arts and prepared to leave.

On the way, Huo Nanlian tried to stop him, but Shen Li's hidden weapon and Qin Yu's sleeve arrows flew directly towards her. While Huo Nanlian was dodging, Chen Zheng caught up with her.

Chen Zheng and Huo Nanlian soon started fighting again, and Shen Li and Qin Yu took the coachman and left the abandoned house quickly without any hindrance.

Huo Nanlian wanted to chase them, but she was powerless and could only watch the two men leave with the driver.

After a while, she got rid of Chen Zheng and evacuated the abandoned house with her guards.

Since the driver had already left, there was no need for them to continue to pester him.

Shen House.

"It's okay now, don't be afraid." Shen Li comforted Wang Ping.

"Do you want to hand me over to that man?" Wang Ping said after a while.

"Wang Ping, I told you before we left that I would definitely protect you. Now we have done it. Aren't you safe now?"

"But what if I had been killed just now?" Wang Ping said fearfully.

"There's no such possibility. I told you that you were just going there for show and I would definitely not let anything happen to you. Now I have done it. Aren't you still here well?" The reason why Qin Yu wasted so much time talking was because he was afraid that Wang Ping would get upset.

If he gets emotional, his subsequent testimony may be full of twists and turns.

"Wang Ping, everything is fine now. Calm down. We can take you there, so we won't let anything happen to you. Relax a little. Think about it carefully. When will you stop hiding from others? But as long as you testify, the truth will come out, and Huo Nanlian will get the punishment she deserves. You can live your life upright and peacefully in the future. Isn't this a good thing? Besides, you are absolutely safe with us protecting you. Now Huo Nanlian has no bargaining chips. As long as you testify, you can live a good life."

Shen Li said so much, firstly to comfort him, secondly to feel a little guilty, and thirdly because he really hoped that he could live a good life in the future.

Wang Ping had calmed down by now. He had had enough of hiding and living in fear over the years.

He has kept this matter in his heart for so many years, and it's time to speak it out.

"Ms. Shen, I was rude just now. I will follow your arrangements from now on."

"it is good."

After comforting Wang Ping, Shen Li went to meet the Shen family again.

Seeing that they were all fine, I felt relieved.

When she returned to the front hall, Wen Xiangning and Shen Han were already there.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

"It's okay. After taking the medicine, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Qin Yu just took my pulse and said that the baby is getting better. Ali, Wang Ping has already told me about what happened back then. I didn't expect Yu Bin and Huo Nanlian to have an affair. It's a shame for me, a princess of a country, to be played around by them. They've gone too far. What's even more hateful is that Huo Nanlian actually killed him. Even if he was wrong, it wasn't her turn to do it." Wen Xiangning said angrily.

"Xiang Ning, don't be excited. You've just gotten better. Don't let your stomach hurt again." Shen Han advised.

Wen Xiangning, who had a cold face just now, immediately changed her expression and said gently: "It's okay, don't worry, I know the child is the most important."

"No, you are the most important."

Shen Li looked at the two of them from the side and pursed his lips.

Then Wen Xiangning said, "Qin Yu, A Li, let's take Wang Ping and go to the palace immediately."

"Your Highness, do you want to talk to the Emperor about this?" Qin Yu asked.

"Well, Huo Nanlian is backed by Huo Jian after all. With my power, I still can't easily touch her. This matter can only be decided by my brother."

"But it's too late now. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if we went to the palace to make trouble?"

"You mean you want to go at the morning court tomorrow when all the officials are present?"

Qin Yu nodded: "That's right, only in front of all the officials can this matter be truly known to everyone."

Wen Xiangning pondered for a moment: "If we succeed, of course it's fine. If we fail, Huo Nanlian and Huo Jian will accuse us of being framed. With the civil and military officials present, it will be difficult for us to end the situation. Even if the emperor intends to protect you, with so many people here, he will have to give an explanation to everyone. Have you thought about all this?"

"I've thought about it." Qin Yu said firmly.

"Qin Yu, we have witnesses now, but no physical evidence. Isn't this too risky? And Huo Nanlian also knows that we have witnesses, and she will definitely find a way to deal with it. I still feel uneasy." Shen Li said worriedly.

Wen Xiangning also said: "Ali is right. I think it's still inappropriate. Why don't we go to the palace now? There are no outsiders, only the parties involved. If there is any mistake, the emperor will not punish us too severely."

"Who said there is no physical evidence? We have the autopsy record from that year, and I have also found the coroner who performed the autopsy. I also know what poison Huo Nanlian used to kill the prince consort. This can fully prove that the prince consort was poisoned to death that year." Qin Yu said.
