Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 207 Donggong Knows

At least in Li Dequan's opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Muyin to poison his grandmother for no reason.

If Shen Muyin really did it, then it is Shen Rushuang who deserves to die. Shen Muyin is innocent.

It was clearly a crime of poisoning, but in Donggong's view, the bad guy must be Shen Rushuang.

"You said she poisoned someone? She was caught red-handed by Shen Changsheng and is now under house arrest?" Donggong asked Li Dequan with some amusement.

Li Dequan nodded and said, "Your Highness, the news I heard is true, and so is the rumor in Kyoto. I have definitely not heard any movement from Miss Shen in the past two days."

"If I remember correctly, two days ago, she took Xiaojiu away from me." Qin Chuyan said directly.

Li Dequan: “…”

This is also true.

You have to know that only His Highness can call upon these secret guards. Especially Xiaojiu, who has a terrible temper and won't give face to anyone.

As a result, Dong Jin went back to the East Palace two days ago and easily called Xiao Jiu away.

Of course Donggong knew about it, but did not stop it. Until now they are still puzzled as to how Shen Muyin did it.

Xiaojiu never mentioned what he was going to do.

After this, Shen Muyin had two secret guards by his side, so nothing could possibly happen.

But now, even Dong Jin has disappeared without a trace, and even Dong Jin is not convenient to appear in the East Palace. This matter is indeed weird.

"How come something happened to her suddenly in these two days?" Qin Chuyan asked back.

Li Dequan couldn't answer.

Coincidentally, Lu Nanhuai walked in from outside, took a look, and spoke directly.

"The rumor in Kyoto was spread by Shen Huai, the third son of the Shen family." Lu Nanhuai got straight to the point without any nonsense. "The people in the Shen Mansion kept Dong Jin under surveillance and did not let Dong Jin come to tip off. So I think what Shen Huai spread was probably what Miss Shen meant, and he wanted to tell Your Highness."

Lu Nanhuai's words were particularly direct and made things clear at once.

Dong Jin cannot move because he doesn't know Shen Muyin's current situation, so Dong Jin has to stay in the Shen Mansion.

Dong Jin was also afraid to leave, fearing that Shen Muyin might make any more mistakes.

Shen Huai and Shen Muyin have a good relationship. Even though the people in the Shen Mansion don't know about it, it doesn't mean that the people in the Eastern Palace don't know about it. So after all this going on, it is clear why such a rumor suddenly spread in Kyoto.

Qin Chuyan looked at Lu Nanhuai without saying anything.

"If we talk about being powerful, Miss Shen is more powerful. She has directly dragged Your Highness into the water. After all, Your Highness and Miss Shen are in the same boat. You are sure that Your Highness will not just watch her die, right?" Lu Nanhuai sneered, not being polite at all.

In Lu Nanhuai's opinion, in the entire Yan State, only Shen Muyin dared to play with Qin Chuyan like this.

He is extremely arrogant, but you can't do anything to Shen Muyin because Donggong is willing.

Dong Gong just put his hand on his forehead, feeling a headache just from listening to it, but there was no unhappiness in his eyes.

Even the East Palace's voice sounded lazy: "Master Lu, tell me, what happened in the Shen Mansion again? Even my people dared to move."

"Shen Rushuang is dead. She died of poisoning. Shen Rushuang's personal maid testified that during this period, Shen Rushuang only took Miss Shen's prescriptions. The best doctor in Kyoto also went there and indeed found the poison. The coroner was also there and proved that she died of poisoning." Lu Nanhuai said directly.

In just a few words, a matter was made clear.

"Does she have to go to so much trouble to kill someone?" Donggong sneered.

Shen Muyin looks harmless, but once you have come into contact with Shen Muyin, you will know that when she becomes ruthless, she is no less cruel than anyone else.

Besides, Shen Muyin is such a cautious person, how could he leave evidence for others to incriminate himself?

If this were true, Qin Chuyan felt that he could laugh at Shen Muyin for three days and three nights.

"No need." Lu Nanhuai was very direct, "But it has been carefully calculated, so it will be difficult to escape for a while. But in my opinion, the people in the Shen Mansion have no intention of taking Miss Shen's life for the time being, it seems more like they are putting Miss Shen under house arrest in the Shen Mansion. As for the purpose, I can't guess it."

"Put her under house arrest?" Qin Chuyan lowered his eyebrows, "Did she get targeted by someone during this period of time?"

"I don't think so. Miss Shen is indeed the most foolproof person I have ever seen. Nothing can be linked to Miss Shen. It is likely that Miss Shen has had the upper hand many times before, and the Shen family wants to teach her a lesson. As for placing Miss Shen under house arrest, what she wants to do, I am afraid only the Shen family knows. Or maybe Miss Shen herself knows it very well." Lu Nanhuai was still serious.

Qin Chuyan was quiet for a moment, then stood up and waved his sleeves: "Bring the coroner and follow me to the Shen Mansion. I want to see how the Shen Mansion trapped her."

"Yes." Lu Nanhuai responded.

Then the two of them, one in front and one behind, went directly to the Shen Mansion with several secret guards and imperial guards.

Li Dequan and Magu looked at each other, and both of them understood each other clearly.

Dong Gong and Lord Lu appeared together, this might be to destroy the reputation of Shen Mansion.

An Eastern Palace official who is crazier than a madman, and a commander of the imperial guards who is feared by all ghosts, when the two appear, the whole Yan State knows that there will be a massacre.

Thinking of this, Li Dequan sighed, hoping that the East Palace would not come back in a big mess.

No matter what, Shen Muyin is still the daughter of the Shen family, and this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Shen family. If the Eastern Palace intervenes too much, it will bring trouble to itself.

There are already enough memorials submitted to the Eastern Palace and Lord Lu in front of the palace. If there are any more, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to bear it.

But in the end, Li Dequan didn't say anything and quietly turned around to deal with his own affairs.

……

At that time, the mayor of Beijing.

Shen Changsheng looked at the servant in front of him angrily: "What's going on? Why is this matter so widely spread in Kyoto?"

Shen Changsheng certainly knew the strangeness behind Shen Rushuang's death.

Therefore, Shen Changsheng did not want to make a big deal out of this matter. His current goal was just to put Shen Muyin under house arrest and prevent her from leaving the Shen Mansion or having any involvement with the Eastern Palace.

However, this matter is the business of the Shen Mansion, and it is not convenient for the Eastern Palace to go directly to the Shen Mansion to ask for people.

But now, Shen Rushuang died of poisoning, and it was Shen Muyin who did it. The news spread widely in Kyoto and would naturally reach the East Palace.

How could the Eastern Palace not cause trouble for the Shen family?

As long as the Eastern Palace intervenes, it is hard to say what will happen to this matter.

So in this situation, how could Shen Changsheng not be anxious.

"Didn't I tell you to keep your mouth shut about this matter? How did it get out?" Concubine Liu asked gloomily.
