Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

Shiraba Ye calmly sipped her tea, seemingly unconcerned about the other person's choice.

"Today, Her Highness the Princess did not visit me."

After a long while, Marquis Wanghai slowly spoke.

“Of course.” Bai Yeye nodded, already knowing that the other party had made a decision.

"All of this evidence was found by Her Highness the Princess herself; it's all thanks to Her Highness the Princess," Marquis Wanghai continued.

"That's for sure." Bai Yeye smiled slightly. "Actually, I quite like to take credit for others' work."

Marquis Wanghai nodded and said nothing more. He took out a storage bag from his personal clothing and tossed it to Bai Yeye.

......

......

I watched the new Ultraman today, it was so cool!

Indeed, a man is a boy until he dies!

It seems like a Conan movie is coming out soon; I'll go check it out.

To be honest, I think I always watched the Conan movies as science fiction films...

Chapter 691 Entering the Palace

"This item will be entrusted to Your Highness."

"In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

Shiraba Ye drank the last bit of tea in her cup in one gulp, then stood up and bowed slightly.

"Then I will not disturb your rest any longer, Marquis Wanghai. I will take my leave now."

"Your Highness."

Just as Bai Yeye turned around, Wang Haihou shouted.

"Your Highness, do you wish to compete for the throne?"

“I’m not interested in the throne.” Bai Yeye shook her head.

"Since Your Highness is not interested in the throne, why do you want to enter the court as an official, and why are you working so hard?"

Marquis Wanghai was puzzled.

As long as Bai Yeye doesn't get involved in court affairs, she will always be the most precious princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

It wouldn't matter to Bai Yeye whichever of her brothers ascended the throne.

If it weren't for the throne, Marquis Wanghai truly couldn't understand why Bai Yeye had done so much.

“I have things to do, but to do these things, I need power,” Bai Yeye smiled slightly.

"How much power would Her Highness need?"

"I do not know either."

Shirae Ye turned and walked away, but her gentle words drifted back like the wind.

"But if what I want to do requires sitting on the throne to achieve, then I wouldn't mind fighting for it."

Looking in the direction Bai Yeye left, Wang Haihou remained stunned for a long time.

"Your Highness, you're actually wrong..."

After a long while, Marquis Wanghai sighed softly.

"What's truly terrifying isn't the Southern Wilderness King behind Bai Yeye, but rather the Fifth Princess herself; she's the most troublesome one."

The most terrifying thing is when a person has a reason to become an emperor.

......

After obtaining evidence of Lu Yuan's exploitation of the people and his plot to murder Xu Jia, the former governor of Pingshui County, Bai Yeye did not immediately go to the palace.

On the same day, Bai Yeye directly announced the abolition of the hereditary title of Lu Yuan, the prefect of Pingshui County.

Without any warning, it was as if Shiraba had suddenly thought of it.

This caused a huge uproar in the imperial court.

Numerous officials submitted petitions, beginning to impeach Shiraba Ye.

The impeachment proceedings were roughly as follows:

“Marquis Pingshui Lu Yuan has not done anything outrageous and has been law-abiding. He should not be stripped of his hereditary title.”

"Her Highness the Fifth Princess has acted arbitrarily and is unfit to serve as the Director of the Verification and Sealing Department. We request that she be removed from the position!"

"The imperial court is not a game; it cannot be allowed for the Fifth Princess to act recklessly."

"Your Highness, Fifth Princess, please provide a reason for deposing Marquis Lu Yuan of Pingshui; otherwise, you will find it difficult to convince the public!"

Most of these people were part of the Second Prince's influence in the court. After all, Marquis Pingshui was his dog, and the Second Prince's most favored dog at that.

Of course, the influence of other princes was also involved.

After all, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Now that Bai Yeye has been "killed" in one blow, he will have one less competitor.

Is the white-leaved privet scary?

To many people, the white leaf cypress is not scary at all.

However, Bai Yeye, supported by Duan Bo, the King of the Southern Wilderness, is terrifying.

In no time, a mountain of memorials impeaching Bai Yeye piled up in front of the Demon Emperor, giving him a headache.

But to be honest, even the Demon Emperor couldn't quite understand what his daughter was doing.

However, the Demon Emperor was certain that Ye Ye would not abolish Lu Yuan's hereditary succession without a reason.

Ye Ye must have some evidence.

But why didn't Ye Ye just tell him directly?

"Perhaps, the Fifth Princess wants to see the various characters in the court today, to see who she can win over, and who she needs to be wary of."

Moreover, as Your Majesty knows, some of the court officials have long been quite uncomfortable with the Fifth Princess.

However, it is only because Your Majesty and... because Your Majesty dotes on the Fifth Princess, and because the Fifth Princess has not made any mistakes, but instead has achieved outstanding political results when she was guarding Crocodile City.

Therefore, these court officials suppressed their dissatisfaction and dared not speak out.

The longer a volcano accumulates, the more powerful its eruption will be.

Perhaps what the Fifth Princess was thinking was that it was better to avoid those court officials who had been suppressing their feelings for too long and constantly causing her trouble.

In that case, it would be better to ignite all of their dissatisfaction at once and extinguish their arrogance.

This will make things easier later on.

Consort Si spoke as she massaged the Demon Emperor's shoulders.

"How come in your mind, Ye Ye has also become a cunning old fox who manipulates power?"

The Demon Emperor glanced at the other party, seemingly somewhat displeased.

"I dare not."

Consort Si quickly stepped forward and knelt before the Demon Emperor, her skirt spreading out like a flower.

"However, the Fifth Princess is His Majesty's daughter, and her intelligence is certainly extraordinary."

"Alright, alright, get up. I didn't scold you."

The Demon Emperor waved his hand.

"Yes."

Consort Si stood up in awe and then stood behind the Demon Emperor, continuing to massage his shoulders.

"Someone come here!"

"The Demon Emperor shouted."

"Go and inform the Fifth Princess that tomorrow's court meeting will include the Marquis of Pingshui, so that they can confront each other in public."

......

Soon, news spread throughout the court that the Fifth Princess and the Marquis of Pingshui wanted to have a standoff in court.

Shiraba Ye was not surprised at all by this.

Even Shiraba Ye had anticipated that things would come to this.

The night before the court meeting, Marquis Lu Yuan of Pingshui was summoned by the Second Prince.

The second prince was unaware that the Marquis of Pingshui had murdered the Prefect of Pingshui.

Even if he knew, the Second Prince did not believe that Bai Yeye could find any evidence.

The Second Prince just felt that Bai Yeye was being desperate.

Because there are less than half a month left before the final answer of the hereditary succession is handed in.

But now, Shiraba Ye has only abolished the title of Duke.

Moreover, this duke might actually be a lucky find for Bai Yeye.

Therefore, this time, the Second Prince wanted to end Bai Yeye's political career in one fell swoop.

Similarly, on the night before the court meeting, Shiraba Ye did not sleep at all.

In fact, Sifei's guess was correct.

Bai Yeye wanted to make those ministers in the court bark like dogs for a while, and then knock them senseless with a single blow, so they wouldn't jump out and bark from time to time in the future.

Of course, there's another point: Bai Yeye wants to use the Marquis of Pingshui to drag his second brother into this mess.

Although this possibility is unlikely, it doesn't matter. At least it can serve as a warning to his second brother: "Don't do anything reckless in the future."

The next day, as dawn broke, the sky was as clear as a mirror, but it did not reflect the earth.

Shirae opened her eyes.

"Little Peach, Little Flower."

Change clothes.

"Enter the palace!"

Chapter 692 Everyone Feels Insecure

"Breaking news! Marquis Pingshui, Lu Yuan, has been deposed! He has been imprisoned and will be beheaded in three days!"

"Palace secrets today! Palace secrets! Marquis Lu Yuan of Pingshui is preying on the people, colluding with powerful clans in Pingshui County, bullying men and women, and monopolizing most of the businesses in Pingshui County. People in Pingshui County are living in misery!"

"Marquis Lu Yuan of Pingshui actually murdered the Prefect of Pingshui! Lord Xu Jia, such an upright official, actually died at the hands of a beast!"

"Marquis Lu Yuan of Pingshui dared to embezzle the imperial court's disaster relief funds and grain! He deserves to die a thousand deaths!"

"The Second Prince, Bai Yu, has been angered by His Majesty's overly close relationship with the Marquis of Pingshui and has been ordered to spend a year in seclusion! Come and buy a newspaper! Come and buy one!"

"You won't believe it until you see it! The Fifth Princess, Bai Yeye, eloquently debated the court officials in court! With a wave of her sleeve, the Fifth Princess revealed all the evidence of the Marquis of Pingshui's wrongdoing, leaving the court officials speechless!"

In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, there is something called a "newspaper." The content of the newspaper is not subject to many restrictions; even matters concerning the royal family can be written in it.

The demons were very lively that day.

After all, being a gossip enthusiast is not only a human instinct, but also an instinct of all demon races.

News kept pouring in from the palace, each piece of news extremely sensational.

These messages are like huge stones falling into a lake, creating wave after wave of waves!

Whether in teahouses, on the streets, or even in brothels, everyone was talking about what happened in the court meeting the previous morning.

And all of this revolves around one person—the Fifth Princess, Bai Yeye!

Meanwhile, Su Li, who was in the princess's residence, gradually pieced together the whole story from the conversations of the maids.

Yesterday morning, as soon as the court session began, many ministers stepped forward to submit memorials, stirring up trouble and launching a coordinated attack on Bai Yeye to protect the Marquis of Pingshui.
