Spring in the East Palace

"In the other courtyard. I'll take you there later." Donggong was also very direct.

But the Eastern Palace did not hide anything about this person: "He is very stubborn and refuses to say a word. The spies I sent out said that this person is a young prince from the previous dynasty. He has been lurking in Kyoto and has dealings with the Ling and Wang families. But he does not admit it. Lu Nanhuai is using some tricks to force him to speak."

"Is there any evidence that he was involved?" Shen Muyin asked.

If there is no evidence, then she may suspect that this person is not the real owner and is probably a scapegoat.

If that's the case, the person behind this is really scary.

Not only did they invade the entire State of Yan, these forces had also been cultivated for countless years before they became so deeply rooted.

As long as there is an opportunity, he can completely subvert the entire Yan State and catch people off guard.

"Yes." Donggong said quickly, "His name is in all the evidence of the transactions with the Ling and Wang families, including the contacts with officials. A lot of accounts were also found in his mansion, which can prove that he is related to this matter."

Everything seemed perfect, and just at the end, such a person was introduced.

You don't even have room for doubt.

"He is not in Kyoto, but outside Yanjiao, so no one in Kyoto suspects him. But every major festival, he will stay in an inn in Kyoto for a while. The spies have been keeping an eye on him for some time." Donggong explained.

"So this person was the one you originally suspected?" Shen Muyin grasped the key point.

"Yes." Donggong did not deny it.

"So you think my idea is nonsense? Because you already knew it?" Shen Muyin asked Dong Gong quietly.

Dong Gong was quiet for a moment, and then he spoke: "Everything needs evidence, especially for things like this. If you don't have evidence and someone catches you, it will be extremely troublesome."

Too many people and too many things are involved, and these things are extremely sensitive in the court and can easily go wrong.

So in this case, it is indeed not appropriate to make random guesses.

Shen Muyin just listened quietly, and Shen Muyin knew that his suspicion was just suspicion.

But after a moment of silence, she looked towards the East Palace: "If that's the case, I want to know what evidence was used to convict the Wen family of treason?"

This matter was very confusing from beginning to end. The last thing we knew was that the Wen family had been beheaded.

In addition, Shen Muyin was not born at that time, so naturally he knew even less about this.

If you were to investigate further, you would only find gossip heard in the teahouse. At that time, Wen Li was only a girl of eleven or twelve years old, so how could she know such things?

Shen Muyin vaguely knew that the Wen family was colluding with foreign enemies. The evidence was conclusive, but no one knew the details.

Wen Li also doesn't know.

"The Wen family used double-sided embroidery to tell people outside the palace about what was going on. Because it was embroidery, no one suspected it. Plus, it was a unique technique of the Wen family, so you couldn't tell at all. A lot of information from the court was leaked out, causing the court to suffer defeats time and time again. It wasn't until the Wen family was captured that things started to go smoothly afterwards."

Qin Chuyan spoke slowly, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Muyin was much sharper.

"Are you very interested in the Wen family's affairs?" Donggong asked Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin was very calm: "Because the Prince Consort asked me to do double-sided embroidery, I was cautious. Although double-sided embroidery is a unique skill of the Wen family, I have studied it and found that I can still master it. I am afraid that one day, someone will use this to cause trouble to me."

This reason is also reasonable.

Qin Chuyan was calm: "As long as I am here, no one will dare to touch you."

Shen Muyin nodded, and everyone was quiet.

"So, this matter ends here. The person you are looking for is either found by Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi, or is hiding too deeply. If this person is hiding very deeply, no matter what method you use now, it will be useless. He will not show up unless his ultimate interests are affected. This proves that the Ling family and the Wang family are just pawns that can be discarded to him."

Qin Chuyan spoke slowly, looking at Shen Muyin with calm eyes.

He did not deny Shen Muyin, but he did not agree with anything either, so the matter remained unresolved.

The reason why this matter has been stopped is that too many officials have been involved this time. Qin Chuyan certainly knows that these officials in the court are not clean.

If the investigation continues, the entire court will become unstable, which is not a good thing.

This is also why, as an emperor, there are always many things that are beyond one’s control.

Shen Muyin knew this, but she looked at Donggong quietly: "What if I made a wrong judgment on this matter? Maybe this person is not in the palace?"

Qin Chuyan didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Muyin quietly.

Shen Muyin nodded: "Let's end this matter here."

She thought that she would have to wait until she was involved in a shocking case in her previous life, otherwise it would be difficult to find any clues.

So, it’s still going to happen, right?

While Shen Muyin was deep in thought, Qin Chuyan held Shen Muyin's hand tightly and said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you."

"Hmm?" Shen Muyin raised his head and looked at Qin Chuyan.

During the time that he had known Qin Chuyan, Shen Muyin had more or less known this man's temper.

Qin Chuyan is used to acting recklessly, and even when facing the current emperor, he rarely speaks in such a serious tone.

So when this person talks to me like this, it means that something big has probably happened.

No one should know about this, but Qin Chuyan told me in advance.

Shen Muyin was very quiet, waiting patiently for Dong Gong to finish speaking.

But Donggong just looked at Shen Muyin so tenderly and lovingly, with complexity in the depths of his eyes, and his fingertips with thin calluses gently stroked Shen Muyin's cheek.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will lead the troops to war in about half a year." Qin Chuyan said word by word.

Shen Muyin was really shocked by these words. He looked at Qin Chuyan in disbelief, "Why do you want to lead the troops to fight? Although the surrounding small countries are making trouble, they are all minor ones. There is no need for you to lead the troops to fight in person. Do you know what this means?"

The Qin family has only this one crown prince. If anything happens to Qin Chuyan, then the Qin family's world will change.

Qin Yue’s expectations for Qin Chuyan are the same as his expectations for the entire Yan State.

And Shen Muyin knew even more clearly that Qin Chuyan could not go to the war unless it was absolutely necessary.

Shen Muyin was well aware that those treacherous ministers in the court were submitting memorials every day, asking Qin Chuyan to lead the troops in person. They had no good intentions at all.
