Spring in the East Palace

Lu Nanhuai's tone was extremely serious, and he just stared at Dong Gong solemnly without blinking.

Listening to Lu Nanhuai's words, Donggong gradually calmed down because he could not refute Lu Nanhuai's words.

In this situation, Donggong sneered: "The people in the Shen Mansion are really bold, do they have to put her to death?"

"This proves that Miss Shen is a threat and a figure." Lu Nanhuai said lightly.

Compared with Donggong's anxiety, Lu Nanhuai seemed much calmer.

It was not surprising that Shen Muyin was murdered, especially after Donggong left. These people had been fooled by Shen Muyin many times, and it was impossible for them to let Shen Muyin go easily.

As long as Shen Muyin is around, that person probably won't have a smooth life.

Especially since Shen Muyin had doubts, this person would act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, without leaving any leeway or mercy.

"If you go back now, you'll fall into a trap." Lu Nanhuai rarely speaks so much. "First, if you abandon the matter in Fengdu, the emperor will definitely blame you. Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as common people. Second, maybe she is just a cover to contain you?"

Dong Gong had calmed down after hearing Lu Nanhuai's words, but he still looked tense.

"I'd like to know who gave the government such courage." Donggong sneered.

It was indeed a very bold move to touch his people, even when the whole Kyoto knew about it.

"Birds of a feather." Lu Nanhuai said directly, "I'm afraid we can't keep the people from this government office anymore."

Soon, Lu Nanhuai looked towards the East Palace: "Instead of worrying about Shen Muyin, you might as well worry about yourself. Our troubles are probably bigger than hers right now. If the Prime Minister steps down, you can imagine what the result will be."

Then everything will become unknown.

"In addition, if you want Shen Muyin to be the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, and she can't even save herself from this matter, sending her to the Eastern Palace will undoubtedly be asking for her life, isn't it?" Lu Nanhuai asked the Eastern Palace.

The Eastern Palace did not establish Concubine Chu because this position was not something that ordinary people could hold.

It just so happened that Donggong had a picky eye, so this position naturally remained vacant.

Now that Donggong has taken a fancy to Shen Muyin, then Shen Muyin must have her own outstanding qualities.

Otherwise, why would Donggong choose Shen Muyin?

After all, there are too many people to choose from.

"So, this is also a training. Otherwise, if you lead the troops to go to war, it will take at least three years, and at most ten years. How will Shen Muyin cope with it at that time? Don't forget that she is your right-hand man, not a woman you want to protect in your arms."

Lu Nanhuai became more and more direct.

Donggong didn't say anything in response to these words.

But Donggong's eyes were filled with trust in Shen Muyin. He knew that woman would never let him down.

How could she be trapped by such a small matter?

In this situation, Qin Chuyan said solemnly: "Investigate this matter thoroughly."

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should have given the order." Lu Nanhuai responded.

Qin Chuyan was finally relieved, and the room gradually calmed down.

But in the end, this matter was on Qin Chuyan's mind. After all, for Qin Chuyan, Shen Muyin was still in the dungeon.

A few more days passed in this tense mood.

It was not until the news came from Kyoto almost immediately that Qin Chuyan realized that Shen Muyin had escaped innocent and the real murderer had been caught.

At this moment, Donggong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, everything in Fengdu fell into trouble, and the East Palace was still in a state of panic.

"Your Highness, the other party acted too cleanly, leaving no room for any chance. It just so happened that when the accident happened, only Lord Xiu was there, so there is no evidence." The secret guard frowned and told Qin Chuyan the results of his investigation.

Lu Nanhuai just stood there, his face slightly gloomy and a little shocked.

But in this situation, Lu Nanhuai and Qin Chuyan looked at each other and realized that this was probably already a trap.

It was a long-planned trap, so the prime minister fell into it and had no room for maneuver.

"Don't you know anything about Lord Xiu?" Qin Chuyan looked at Lu Nanhuai calmly.

Lu Nanhuai shook his head: "I went to see the Prime Minister, but he knew nothing about it. He was just doing his routine work in Fengdu, and then he met Li Da. When he met Li Da, Li Da was already dead. He couldn't believe it, so he walked forward to take a look and saw the murder weapon beside him. Now, there is really solid evidence."

Lu Nanhuai reconstructed the situation at that time.

"In fact, didn't you realize that this incident was almost exactly the same as when Shen Muyin was wrongly accused? It was just that Shen Muyin was calm, and she was probably too hasty at the time, so she was able to find the flaw. If the Prime Minister did the same, I'm afraid Shen Muyin would not be able to escape."

Lu Nanhuai was very calm. The two events connected together were extremely subtle and even similar.

At the very least, the modus operandi is consistent, and you can be convicted as quickly as possible.

Perhaps they overlooked Shen Muyin's ability and thought that without Dong Gong's presence, Shen Muyin would not be able to make a comeback, so they were a bit careless.

Your Excellency Prime Minister, this matter was planned long ago, one thing after another.

There had been a rift between the Prime Minister and Li Da over the past year or two, and their relationship was extremely tense.

Not only that, they arrived at Fengdu one after the other and hardly saw each other. And people on Li Da's side said that it was the prime minister who took the initiative to invite them.

The Prime Minister could not deny this point, because he was indeed the one who took the initiative to invite him, but it was just official business.

On the other hand, they wanted to take advantage of this time to reconcile with each other.

As a result, a murder occurred.

The prime minister now had irrefutable evidence, including a motive for murder, and there was no way he could escape.

Even if Dong Gong and Lu Nanhuai were here, they could not find any suspicious points in the face of the current predicament.

"Where are the others?" Dong Gong asked calmly.

"They all have perfect evidence of their presence, and it's not even each other who can prove it, but outsiders can prove it." Lu Nanhuai continued to explain, "So, this situation is extremely delicate. Right now, things in Kyoto are already in chaos."

Dong Gong's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he didn't say a word the entire time.

In this matter, they seemed to have reached a dead end and were completely unable to move.

"Our trip to Fengdu this time is useless." Lu Nanhuai felt so helpless for the first time.

"So this is the only way now?" Donggong frowned.

"As for the emperor, the final result is to cover up this matter and let Lord Xiu retire and never participate in government affairs again. But for that person, this goal is enough. At least the prime minister has been replaced." Lu Nanhuai was calm.

Dong Gong sneered and stood up: "What a bastard."
