Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 311 The finishing touch

The Shen family only has Su'er and this youngest son, both of whom happened to be born to Lan Fang.

This also preserved Lan Fang's status.

"Later, Shen Cong found out that Su'er was not his biological son, and he was furious. In addition, his youngest son was weak and sickly, so he needed a famous doctor from Kyoto. It just so happened that only Shen Changsheng had the face to see this famous doctor. They came up with this poisonous plan after discussing it."

Zhao Yong, a seven-foot-tall man, had tears in his eyes.

"They wanted Lan Fang to kill Su'er in order to protect their youngest son and to frame Miss Shen. They fed Su'er poison, causing her to have a high fever. This poison would make Su'er's emotions very unstable. Su'er was never a reckless child who would bump into others, but she was poisoned. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone!"

Zhao Yong's voice became more and more angry.

"As for why the Shen family wanted to murder Miss Shen, it's probably not hard to guess. Miss Shen returned to Kyoto and changed the situation, so how could the Shen family be willing to accept that? Moreover, Miss Shen repeatedly stole the limelight, so how could the Shen family be willing to accept that!"

Zhao Yong spoke with certainty.

The tone is so confident that it is hard for people to doubt it.

Moreover, preconceived notions will make people think that what Zhao Yong said is true.

Just like when the accident happened for the first time, Lan Fang’s crying and shouting made people subconsciously think that Shen Muyin was the murderer!

"From what I know about the Shen family, Shen Changsheng and Shen Cong have never had any contact with each other. How can two people who have never had any contact with each other suddenly become close? Doesn't your Majesty find it strange?" Zhao Yong asked Qiao Suwan.

The scene was dead silent.

It seemed that Zhao Yong's words had completely lifted the veil, leaving no room for anyone and making things very clear.

"Su'er is my son, and I will never let my son die in vain!" Zhao Yong kowtowed to Qiao Suwan, "Please investigate and find the real culprit behind this! Don't let any good person be wronged. I thank you, Your Majesty."

The ground in the courtroom was filled with the sound of Zhao Yong's kowtow.

Shen Changsheng and Shen Yan had originally seemed exceptionally calm, but now their expressions had completely changed.

Because Zhao Yong was clearly targeting the Shen family and completely tore off the last layer of fig leaf of the Shen family.

How could the Shen family allow such a thing to happen?

But for the Shen family, a reckless man like Zhao Yong was just an accident, and they handled it with ease.

Shen Changsheng looked at Zhao Yong calmly the whole time, and then said without changing his expression: "Your Majesty, this is a feud between Lan Fang, Shen Cong, and Zhao Yong. It has nothing to do with the Shen family. Please understand."

Shen Changsheng remained calm as he spoke. "Also, I have never had any contact with Shen Cong, but we are still relatives after all. So if Shen Cong really wants to go to Kyoto, I naturally cannot refuse completely and will agree to it. After all, the Shen Mansion does not need this room."

These words are all true.

Although the governor of Kyoto was not a very prominent figure in Kyoto, he did have a mansion, and his servants had a place to stay, not to mention that he had to make room for distant relatives.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it depends on whether Shen Changsheng is willing.

"But I have never known about these grudges, let alone been involved in them. I believe that when Lan Fang came to the Shen Mansion, the people in the Shen Mansion took care of her meticulously, including when Su'er suddenly had a high fever that wouldn't go away. The Shen Mansion also repeatedly asked doctors to check on Su'er's condition." Every word that Shen Changsheng said made sense.

"These things can be testified by the servants in the Shen Mansion and the doctors in the capital. It can't be that every doctor was bribed by this humble minister, right?"

Shen Changsheng spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, his eyes falling calmly on Qiao Suwan.

Qiao Suwan didn't say anything, but facing what Shen Changsheng said, Qiao Suwan really couldn't find any reason to refute.

How thoughtful! Zhou Mi had anticipated this a long time ago.

That's why she is so aggressive in front of me now, as if if Qiao Suwan asks one more question, it will be Qiao Suwan's fault.

Shen Muyin's brows also slightly frowned.

Although Qiao Suwan has not asked about state affairs in recent years, she knows very well that it is impossible for Qiao Suwan to really know nothing.

So she had known for a long time that the people who controlled Lan Fang were from the Shen family.

Qiao Suwan wanted to stand up for herself.

Shen Muyin knew more clearly that this was his biological mother.

She can drag anyone down with her, but she will never drag her own mother down with her.

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin glanced towards the entrance out of the corner of her eye. She knew very well that since Zhao Yong could come, Dong Jin must have found evidence.

So, Shen Muyin was waiting for Dong Jin.

Almost at the same time, Dong Jin appeared hurriedly, and the guards stepped forward to stop him without thinking.

"Get out of the way." Dong Jin pushed the guard away.

Then Dong Jin walked up to Qiao Suwan and Shen Muyin and said, "Your servant pays respect to the queen. May the queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Get up." Qiao Suwan nodded.

The Pingxi Palace and the Eastern Palace naturally have close contacts, and Qiao Suwan certainly knows who Dong Jin is in front of her.

Under such circumstances, Shen Changsheng frowned and looked at Dong Jin with sharp eyes.

Dong Jin was a servant beside Shen Muyin, and was sent to the Shen Mansion by the Eastern Palace. Thinking of this, Shen Changsheng felt an uneasy premonition in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

Dong Jin's presence in front of Shen Changsheng is very low, and his appearance frequency is not even as high as that of Fennel.

They were testing Dong Jin, there was no threat involved, they were just being a little clever.

But now Dong Jin's sudden appearance made them uneasy.

"Dong Jin, why are you here?" Qiao Suwan asked calmly.

Dong Jin immediately responded, "Your Majesty, I know that the young lady was wrongly accused, so I hurried to the East Palace to ask for help. Now the people in the East Palace have given me evidence and asked me to deliver it to the government office as soon as possible."

Throughout the lines, Dong Jin used the name of the Eastern Palace.

Because Dong Jin knew better than anyone the importance of the word "Dong Palace" in the State of Yan.

How could the people in the Shen family doubt the Eastern Palace, especially when there was such irrefutable evidence? This was arranged step by step by Shen Muyin and carried out step by step by Dong Jin.

Gradual progress is the most deadly.

But when the corner of Shen Muyin's eye fell on Shen Changsheng, he found that Shen Changsheng seemed to not take this matter to heart at all and was still extremely calm.

So, is there a variable?

Shen Muyin lowered his brows, but the evidence before him was as solid as a mountain, so how could there be any changes?

This time, Shen Muyin remained calm on the surface.

When she didn't know what would happen, she couldn't panic. Soon, Shen Muyin calmed down.

Just wait and see how things develop. When water comes, cover it with earth; when enemies come, fight them with soldiers. Don't let yourself get confused by things you can't figure out.
