Empty the scumbag's family assets and exile him!

"You go outside first. I want to talk to Miss Qin alone." Nan Muchen spoke to Qin Yuran.

Qin Yuran didn't say anything, but just looked at Nan Muchen quietly.

Seeing his firm attitude, Qin Yuran didn't know what to say. She slammed the door, and only Nan Muchen and Qin Yiyu were left in the room.

"Your Majesty, I will make a deal with you in exchange for the fragments of the treasure map. If you let me go, what do you think?"

Seeing that the door was closed tightly, Qin Yiyun didn't beat around the bush with Nan Muchen and went straight to the point.

This is her trump card, she must take advantage of this time to convince Nan Muchen to help her escape.

She doesn't want to lose her life at Qin Yueran's hands now!

What's more, there is no evidence at all that she killed Chenxi. As for the fire in the general's mansion, as long as she has someone deal with it cleanly, Qin Yueran will not be able to find any evidence even if she knows that it was her who did it.

"My Lord, this is not a losing deal for you."

Qin Yiyu then patiently persuaded Nan Muchen, and then took off the pendant from her neck, which was one of the fragments of the treasure map.

Qin Yiyu's heart was beating fast. She was completely gambling with her life. If Nan Muchen didn't agree, then she would really be helpless.

"Aren't you afraid that I will snatch the fragment from your hand?"

"My value is not just this treasure map fragment. If you let me go, I can provide you with more clues about the treasure map fragments."

Qin Yiyu's voice was trembling as she spoke nervously, but she forced herself to calm down and look confident.

Sure enough, Qin Yiyun caught the flash of hesitation in Nan Muchen's eyes, and then continued to persuade him:

"Your Majesty, you have to believe that I really don't know who murdered Chenxi. You can't be lured by Qin Yueran's few words and think it was me. Now let me go, and I will tell you the rest of the information I know about the treasure map."

Nan Muchen looked at Qin Yiyu and had his own plans in mind.

Chenxi's death does seem suspicious now. Judging from Qin Yiyu's reaction just now, it can at least be confirmed that Qin Yueran was probably wronged in this matter.

As for whether Qin Yiyu is the mastermind, he does not have sufficient evidence to draw a conclusion yet.

The most urgent task now is to appease Qin Yiyu. If she is indeed the mastermind, she will definitely find ways to erase the evidence of the incident.

If we alert the enemy now, it will not be conducive for Nan Muchen to investigate the matter thoroughly.

It would be better to take this opportunity to calm Qin Yiyu's emotions and prevent her from realizing his suspicion, so as to gain more time for investigation.

Furthermore, the fragments of the treasure map that Qin Yiyu mentioned were exactly what he had been concerned about.

After this thought, Nan Muchen looked at Qin Yiyu with gentleness in his eyes.

"I have made up my mind about Chenxi's matter. Since you helped me find Chenxi's body, I will not doubt you. If I doubted you, how could I let you stay and talk to me alone again?"

Seeing Nan Muchen's attitude wavering, Qin Yiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that based on the image she had created in Nan Muchen over the years, Nan Muchen would definitely not think that she was the one who harmed Chenxi just because of Qin Yueran's few words.

As long as she could walk out of the room now, she could naturally leave all the evidence on that biting rainy night five years ago.

When Nan Muchen pushed open the door, Qin Yuran turned around sharply.

"How was the conversation with her?" Qin Yuran asked as she walked in, but she didn't expect that the room was already empty.

The rope that tied Qin Yiyun just now was scattered on the ground. Where was Qin Yiyun's shadow left?

"You let her go? The Regent is really kind and protective of the Qin family's eldest daughter."

Qin Yueran saw that it was too late to chase after him now, and spoke to Nan Muchen in a very unpleasant tone.

She shouldn't have given Qin Yiyu and Nan Muchen the chance to chat alone. She thought Nan Muchen was a sensible person, but she didn't expect that he would be led astray by Qin Yiyu's few words.

If we let Qin Yiyu go this time, we won’t have many chances to catch her going out alone next time.

"Think about it, if you didn't favor her and trust her, you wouldn't have listened to slander five years ago and wanted to end someone's life."

Qin Yueran bluntly rebuked Nan Muchen, saying that she shouldn't trust this man!

Nan Muchen did not respond to Qin Yueran's words. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about the life-saving grace.

"Should you explain to me clearly about the life-saving grace?"

Nan Muchen stared at Qin Yuran, trying to find any sign of lying in her eyes.

But Qin Yueran looked calm, shook off Nan Muchen's hand and responded unhappily:

"Didn't you want to believe it just now? Why are you asking me again now?"

But as soon as Qin Yueran said this, he felt something strange in his body.

She understood that it was the original owner's soul that was causing trouble. She was struggling and praying, hoping that Nan Muchen could know the truth of the matter.

"Please, the pendant on Chenxi's and my neck is carved from the same piece of white jade into the same shape, symbolizing our sincere friendship. That year, Nan Muchen was stabbed by a poisoned arrow, and I ran all over the mountains and plains to find herbs to help him heal.

The white jade pendant he vaguely saw was actually mine, but later he happened to meet Chenxi and saw the pendant on her neck, and subconsciously thought that Chenxi had saved his life, but in fact..."

Qin Yueran felt her head buzzing with noise and repeated the original owner's words to Nan Muchen verbatim.

Nan Muchen recalled his childhood memories. The only thing he remembered about his savior was the white jade pendant that he vaguely saw when he was semi-conscious.

When he saw the white jade pendant on Chenxi's neck, he subconsciously thought that he had found his savior. He was very excited, but he never confirmed it with Chenxi.

He didn't expect that there were two white jade pendants, and it turned out that there was someone else who saved him.

"If you don't believe me, then let me guess. Do you have a dark brown birthmark on your waist? The place where you were shot with an arrow that year was also on your waist, right? If you say that the birthmark was left when I was in love, then the location of the wound can't be a lie."

Qin Yueran's added sentence made Nan Muchen's heart instantly uneasy.

Even if the previous words were all made up by Qin Yueran, this birthmark and wound were real on her body.

He was also sure that only his closest relatives and his savior had ever seen this birthmark.

From this perspective, Qin Yueran was indeed the one who saved him that year.

Five years ago, he almost caused disastrous consequences and killed his savior with his own hands?

But Nan Muchen still didn't understand why Qin Yueran didn't come out to clarify when he knew that he had mistaken his savior from the beginning?

If she had told him all this from the beginning, how could he treat her like that?

Nan Muchen looked at Qin Yuran with some incomprehensible emotions in his eyes.
