Wu Qing left crying.
Later, no one knew what she said to the Family Head.
The Wu Family’s army stationed outside the palace rapidly withdrew like a tide.
Ge Chen watched the Wu Family’s army depart and worriedly said, "Your Majesty just let them leave like this?"
Shen Li stood outside the window, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice,
"I hate war and cannot bear it."
Ge Chen was taken aback for a moment, then understood the painstaking effort of His Majesty, secretly sighing: His Majesty indeed has a good strategy.
The Wu Family, Yuan Family, Qu Family, Chu Family, Yi Family.
The Five Families of the Nine-tailed Fox, independent of royal power, have always been a major issue for successive emperors. If they can be successfully suppressed, it would be a great help; if not, it’s like raising a tiger that will bring trouble.
The Five Families have deep roots, strong forces, their own territories and armies, and countless powerful members. On the surface, they do not dare to directly challenge the imperial power, but secretly, they all covet the highest position of the Empire. Over the years, provocations have been continuous.
Today’s move, killing one to warn a hundred, will certainly deter the Five Families, preventing them from stirring up trouble in the short term.
At the same time, sending the Wu Family to guard the frontier for ten years directly suppresses the power of the Wu Family.
Now that the Wu Family knows once the truth is exposed, they will inevitably be at the bottom of public opinion, and having lost their family’s most powerful Shadow Slave, they are sure not to dare to make any trouble in the next few years, let alone have the energy to cause trouble with an outsider.
This absurd farce ends here and will no longer implicate that innocent outsider.
Though Ge Chen had never met the foreign female, as a close minister by His Majesty’s side, with a Seven-odd Exquisite Heart, how could he not see His Majesty’s concern for that female.
He is unwilling to involve her and can only try his best to push her away, as far away as possible — preferably never meeting again for the rest of this life!
Unfortunately, it’s still difficult to completely eradicate the Wu Family now.
When pushed to desperation, even a dog will jump over a wall. The Wu Family’s power cannot be pulled up by the roots overnight. If you really want to destroy the Wu Family now, the hidden ancestors of the Wu Family will not agree!
If the Wu Family is forced into rebellion, inciting other families to unite, the Empire will fall into chaos, and His Majesty will be in danger, leading to more losses than gains.
Just guarding the frontier for ten years, this cost, though humiliating, is not enough to make the Wu Family dare take the risk of rebellion and overturn completely.
As for ten years later, at that time, once His Majesty consolidates royal power, with full wings, whatever actions are taken against the Wu Family will be matters for the future.
His Majesty is also gambling.
For now, this is the best outcome.
"Puff!" Shen Li spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!" Ge Chen’s face changed dramatically, rushing to support him.
Shen Li clutched his chest, waving his hand, "I’m fine."
The man’s exquisitely beautiful face was as pale as paper, a strand of red hair between his lips, with traces of blood on his bloodless lips, highlighting his cold, enchantingly bizarre beauty.
His breath was disordered, "As for the Night Glow Empire... send a gift of apology, leave this matter for you to arrange."
"Yes, I understand!" Ge Chen looked at Shen Li’s weak face and his injury, even more frightened; it was far more serious than imagined!
After removing the illusion disguise, Shen Li’s entire right hand had turned into a dry bone, blue flames creeping between his bones, wantonly consuming flesh.
Half of his arm had turned into charred black bone!
Luckily, His Majesty had powerful strength, able to barely suppress the Netherworld Poison Fire, otherwise, others would have long been burned to ashes. But the power of the Green Lotus Needle is strong, if this continues, His Majesty’s body might not resist!

Shen Li, "The damage caused by the Green Lotus Needle is difficult to heal, even if she comes, it’s not certain she can heal it, besides, I don’t want to owe her anything more."
