Spring in the East Palace

In the previous life, Shen Muyin was already in the Heavenly Prison when he met Liao Yong.

There are countless ways of torturing people in the prison. Even if Liao Yong would rather die than surrender, they can still force him to confess.

So the end result for these officials is the same.

This is equivalent to cutting off Qin Chuyan's left and right arms.

It seems that the truth that was so confusing back then has now become much clearer.

The ultimate goal of this person behind the scenes is the entire Yan State, which is not as simple as it seems.

Shen Muyin's eyes were silent for a moment, but he hid his emotions very well.

"So now Liao Yong is in the dungeon, and naturally no one dares to touch him. Plus, Liao Yong himself is smart and has already made connections with people here a long time ago." Qin Chuyan finished his words.

Shen Muyin nodded, but her eyes remained calm as she looked at Qin Chuyan.

"I don't think Liao Yong is safe in there now. The situation is a bit chaotic right now. The person you and I are looking for should be the same person. Since this person attacked me, he must have figured out how I contacted people in the dungeon."

Shen Muyin's tone was extremely serious: "So he won't attack Liao Yong?"

Qin Chuyan remained calm and just listened.

"Besides, Liao Yong's conviction proves that these people were to be dealt with back then. Wouldn't this person find an opportunity to torture Liao Yong to extract a confession? Then wouldn't these officials be able to escape as well?"

Shen Muyin asked calmly.

"Find a reason and Liao Yong can go to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice has many methods, which is more than enough to deal with Liao Yong."

Shen Muyin did not explicitly say what happened in her previous life, but it seemed that she told Qin Chuyan everything that was possible.

Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin, his eyes became particularly serious, and he didn't even blink for a moment.

"Why do you know so much?" Qin Chuyan asked quietly.

Under such a sharp gaze, Shen Muyin felt uneasy for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

"I calculated it." Shen Muyin said seriously.

Shen Muyin said more unnecessary things, but she knew more or less.

Liao Yong probably went in at the same time as herself. She was involved in a shocking case, and the whole Kyoto was in chaos.

At times like this, heroes emerge in troubled times, and that person is the best at cutting the Gordian knot.

Not only did it destroy the decades-long friendship between the Palace of Pingxi and the Palace of Xuan, but it also took advantage of the chaos to dig up the past events and almost caused the collapse of the State of Yan.

If Qin Chuyan led his troops to fight again, all the risks would become completely unknown.

"Besides, if it weren't for Liao Yong this time, I'm afraid I would have really died in there." Shen Muyin told the truth.

I had considered countless possibilities, but I never expected that the person would actually want to give up on me.

She is the legitimate princess of the Pingxi Palace.

If that person gives up on himself, does it mean that this person still has chess pieces in his hand that can be used?

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin found that after he had finally sorted out one thing, he could easily move on to the next one.

It accumulates more and more, and eventually it becomes impossible to remain calm.

"So I naturally have to find out the truth about this matter. At the very least, I have to ensure Liao Yong's safety. Besides, in my opinion, Liao Yong is a talent that can be used."

Shen Muyin spoke calmly and directly.

Qin Chuyan hummed: "Liao Yong was kind to the Qin family back then, so I naturally wouldn't let him get into trouble. What you said makes sense, but I didn't consider it at all."

After a pause, Qin Chuyan continued, "I'll take advantage of this incident to get Liao Yong out. The government office is in chaos right now, so having more or less people won't be a problem. After Liao Yong gets out, he'll hide his real name, and when everything calms down, he can be justified."

Shen Muyin nodded. At least she didn't need to owe him this favor.

Get Liao Yong out, and the dangers she knew about later have been dealt with.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin felt relieved, and then Shen Muyin asked about the East Palace and the things in Fengdu.

Throughout the whole process, Donggong's expression looked extremely serious.

Shen Muyin knew that this matter was probably tricky.

"The Prime Minister has been detained. His situation is similar to yours in subtle ways. There is no room for struggle. Everyone has a perfect alibi. The Prime Minister and Li Da had a bad relationship and had many disputes. So this matter has caused a lot of uproar. I went there in person, but couldn't find any clues." Qin Chuyan frowned and finished his words.

This was really unacceptable to Qin Chuyan.

But in this situation, Qin Chuyan remained calm.

Shen Muyin's brows also knitted together: "Is there no other way now?"

After all, she was involved in a shocking case that year. This person had been plotting for so long and no one had discovered it. They were both regarded as executioners by each other.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's matter was probably to be done in the same way.

"Father tried his best to protect the prime minister, but it was of no avail. He will have to resign and return home," Qin Chuyan said calmly.

And retiring along the way, there are countless risks.

In addition, the prime minister was still a criminal, so it was impossible for him to be escorted by secret guards.

Even if it is delivered safely, it does not mean that the prime minister will be safe from now on.

So, this matter is indeed tricky.

"After this incident, the people in the court were in a panic, and various small groups continued to surface. Father never mentioned who he would appoint as prime minister, but the court already had countless names."

Qin Chuyan continued speaking.

"Is Nangong Sheng on the list?" Shen Muyin asked directly.

They discussed this issue, but there was no list at that time.

Facing Shen Muyin, Qin Chuyan did not hide anything: "Nangong Sheng was not on the list drawn up by my father himself. After all, his presence is not high. But the interesting thing is that his name is on the list in the hands of the ministers."

This is not difficult to understand, as Nangong Sheng is the consort of Prince Xuan.

In addition, Princess Xuanhe is favored, so Nangong Sheng is actually capable, but he appears low-key because of this relationship.

It's not surprising that he eventually became the prime minister.

Therefore, it is reasonable to see Nangong Sheng's name among the ministers in the court.

Shen Muyin listened quietly. She had no evidence, so she couldn't say anything.

But Shen Muyin's intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this Nangong Sheng. The more so, the more Shen Muyin wanted to catch this person.

For some things, it is better to kill someone by mistake than to let them go.

"You can't act rashly, I told you." Qin Chuyan knew what Shen Muyin was thinking at a glance.

Qin Chuyan paused for a moment and said, "It is impossible for him to become the prime minister, at least not within ten years. He must marry Xuanhe and ensure that he is always faithful, then Prince Xuan will give up his power."
