Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 230: Doubts

Although Nangong Sheng is the future prince consort, he has been the adopted son of Prince Xuan since he was a child. In addition to his relationship with Princess Xuanhe, Nangong Sheng has always had a high status in Prince Xuan's mansion.

It’s just that he doesn’t hold a very high position. Everyone knows that this Prince Xuan’s Palace will belong to Nangong Sheng sooner or later.

After a moment of silence, Shen Muyin tried hard to calm himself down.

She discovered that she had a very bad habit. Once she suspected someone, she would think of that person anytime and anywhere. This was a bit bad.

In this situation, Shen Muyin stood there calmly, just looking at Qin Chuyan.

Qin Chuyan could roughly judge from Shen Muyin's expression that there might be someone among these people who Shen Muyin had already suspected.

But this person won't say a word unless he has evidence.

And this person would probably be someone that the Qin family would find extremely difficult to deal with.

Qin Chuyan remained calm on the surface, but started to explain calmly to Shen Muyin.

"The Prince of Pingxi's Mansion and the Prince of Xuan's Mansion have both fought together with the Qin family. If they had any ulterior motives, they would have thought of it long ago. The Prince of Pingxi has rarely returned to Kyoto until now, which is basically impossible. Although the Prince of Xuan's Mansion is in Kyoto, in order to avoid danger, the people in the Prince of Xuan's Mansion rarely participate in the affairs of the court. The remaining ministers are all the confidants of the emperor. You have to know that the person who can sit on the throne of the emperor is definitely not a brainless person. Otherwise, it is impossible to balance these relationships."

Qin Chuyan spoke calmly and analyzed all these people to Shen Muyin.

"So, I think the probability that these people have problems is not very high." Qin Chuyan did not completely deny it, he just expressed his thoughts.

Shen Muyin nodded, but she still looked at Qin Chuyan seriously: "What if it's just someone in these families? Maybe we have overlooked it."

"What you said makes sense." Qin Chuyan nodded.

This point has not been taken into consideration. After all, these families are large and powerful, with many people and many eyes, so it is indeed possible.

But this person should also occupy a certain status in these families, otherwise, he would not be able to do so.

Soon, Donggong calmed down and seemed calm. The eyes of the two met in the air and it became unexpectedly quiet.

The person who finally broke the silence was Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin looked at the East Palace with a bit of speculation, and said lightly: "I want to know, if there are people from the previous dynasty lurking in the court, what will be the result?"

Donggong's eyes also became serious: "If we are not careful, Yan will be destroyed."

The most terrifying thing is that the enemy is in the dark.

Especially a thoughtful enemy.

Qin Chuyan has already ascended to the position of crown prince, and seems to be extremely willful and capricious.

But Qin Chuyan knew very well that he actually had no tolerance for error, and every decision he made was related to the State of Yan, so he could not act recklessly.

These are just illusions to numb others.

"If this person is in the court, as I said before, as long as he causes conflicts among several families and causes these families to disintegrate, the State of Yan will be in danger." Shen Muyin said directly.

Shen Muyin had already said this assumption, so he was still very calm when he said it now.

Dong Gong raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Shen Muyin, and he was calm: "Just tell me your judgment directly, I don't like beating around the bush. Even though this person may be contradictory to you and me, I want you to tell me clearly."

Donggong was less frivolous than usual, and every word he spoke was particularly direct. Even the look in Donggong's eyes when he looked at Shen Muyin did not contain any joking elements.

Shen Muyin did not avoid Dong Gong's gaze and stood there quietly.

Should I tell this matter or not?

But in Shen Muyin's opinion, given Donggong's intelligence, he must have guessed it a long time ago, but Donggong just wanted to say it out loud.

And now, for Shen Muyin, Donggong is the only person she can trust.

After all, the Eastern Palace is the only high branch that Shen Muyin can climb. Hiding in the Eastern Palace will do her no good at all.

With this thought in mind, Shen Muyin took a deep breath and said, "Yes. The Prince Consort of Prince Xuan's Mansion, Nangong Sheng."

Shen Muyin's words were not impulsive, but the result of careful consideration.

Donggong could see this attitude at a glance.

Even Donggong knew that even if Shen Muyin had no evidence, he must have reviewed the matter in his mind for a long time, otherwise he would not appear so hesitant.

And if it really was Nangong Sheng, it was so true that it was hard to talk about.

No one in the entire Kyoto and the imperial court would doubt Nangong Sheng.

In their opinion, Nangong Sheng only has Xuan Sujin in his eyes, and no one else.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuyan's eyes darkened a little: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Shen Muyin was sure.

"Why do you have such an idea?" Qin Chuyan asked directly.

Naturally, the two of them automatically dropped Nangong Sheng's name from their conversation and used words like "he".

Shen Muyin analyzed calmly: "He is the adopted son of Prince Xuan, which proves that this person has no relationship with Prince Xuan's Mansion from beginning to end. Raising a tiger will only bring trouble. How can we be sure that he did not deliberately approach Prince Xuan and enter Prince Xuan's Mansion?"

Qin Chuyan's eyes became even darker after hearing Shen Muyin's words.

"So, to some extent, isn't he an outsider in Prince Xuan's Mansion? For an outsider, not everything is possible." Shen Muyin's attitude remained firm.

Then she took a deep breath and calmed down: "Also, people can have all kinds of personalities. For example, Your Highness, people outside think that Your Highness is a cruel, ruthless, bloody and violent person. But after actually meeting you, I know that this is not the case. You care about the servants of the East Palace very much, so how could you be unreasonable? So everyone can have their own protective color."

Shen Muyin was analyzing and paused slightly: "Of course, all this is just my speculation and exclusion. In my opinion, anyone could be a suspect."

Then Shen Muyin said no more.

Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin, and after she finished speaking, he spoke calmly: "Nangong Sheng is the same age as Lu Nanhuai, two years younger than me. He followed Prince Xuan back when he was about twelve years old, and he has come to where he is today step by step."

Qin Chuyan explained to Nangong Sheng.

But what Qin Chuyan said was similar to what Shen Muyin knew.

Qin Chuyan had talked about these things before.

The only difference was that Qin Chuyan talked about what happened between Nangong Sheng, Lu Nanhuai and Xuan Sujin.

"Su Jin had been pestering us before, but after Nangong Sheng showed up, Su Jin's mind was on him. He is indeed very good to Su Jin, otherwise Lu Nanhuai would not have let Su Jin go." Qin Chuyan responded, "I don't deny your guess. In such a statement, everyone is worthy of suspicion."
