Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 170 Turning the tables

Shen Yan also quickly looked at Shen Muyin: "Shen Muyin, Zhenzhen's horse, most people in Kyoto can recognize it, and it's useless for you to quibble here. Besides, the horse is waiting here, won't everyone see it?"

Everyone looked over according to Shen Yan's words, and they all thought that this was indeed Shen Zhenzhen's horse.

After all, the texture and color are the same.

"Then please tell me, brother, what are the characteristics of Zhenzhen's horse, and how can you prove that it is Zhenzhen's?" Shen Muyin asked calmly.

Perhaps it was because Shen Muyin was too calm, so calm that Shen Yan suddenly felt a little uncertain.

In this situation, Shen Yan was forced to do something, but his inner confidence made him speak quickly: "Zhenzhen's horse has patterns on the inside of its hind legs, and the color of its mane is gradual, and it is a black streak at the end. Apart from Zhenzhen's horse, I have never seen a horse that is the same. Besides, it is impossible for two horses to be exactly the same."

As he spoke, Shen Yan suddenly thought of something: "Also, Zhenzhen's horse's eyes are not black, but brown. It is a very precious racehorse bloodline in the Western Regions."

This statement is very certain and has been made to the utmost.

"Is there anything else?" Shen Muyin asked Shen Yan calmly.

But Shen Yan could clearly see the teasing in her eyes, and a sense of uneasiness flashed through his heart.

Soon, Shen Yan persuaded himself that there couldn't be any problem with this matter.

They are all watching outside, so if anything is done, it will not escape their eyes.

Shen Muyin is probably just pretending to be calm here.

"Isn't this enough proof?" Shen Yan sneered and looked at Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin nodded, and Qin Yue just looked at Shen Muyin: "Do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, please follow my elder brother's instructions and ask the groom to verify the identity of the horse, and then you will know." Shen Muyin said calmly, "After all, in horse racing, stealing other people's horses is also cheating. Your Majesty will not make such a joke."

Shen Muyin also said this with certainty.

For a moment, the people present could not tell who was lying.

The groom quickly stepped forward and verified the identity of the horse. His expression became more serious and the atmosphere around him became quiet.

They saw the groom checking the locations one by one according to what Shen Yan said, and then the groom stood up and looked at Qin Yue.

"Your Majesty, this horse is definitely not Shen Zhenzhen's. This horse does not have all the characteristics that Lord Shen mentioned." The groom replied Qin Yue respectfully.

The faces of the Shen family members changed instantly, and everyone's eyes showed a trace of disbelief: "Impossible! Something must have happened here. We saw Shen Muyin riding Zhenzhen's horse in."

"But facts are facts, and words are not enough, right?" Shen Muyin smiled faintly.

She looked at Qin Yue in front of her: "I hope Your Majesty will be able to see clearly and give me justice."

After he finished speaking, Shen Muyin still stood there neither humble nor arrogant.

"That's enough!" Qin Yue was furious. "Now that the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"

The Shen family didn't dare to say a word. After all, in this situation, they were at a disadvantage and they were the ones who had been caught. If they continued to argue, it would only implicate the Shen family more deeply.

Qin Yue sneered and waved his hand: "Come here, send Shen Zhenzhen to the Heavenly Prison, and the people of the Shen family must keep a close watch on him. I don't want anything to go wrong again."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Yue had already strode away.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid farewell to you. Long live the Emperor." Everyone knelt on the ground.

The chief eunuch hurriedly followed, and it was not until Qin Yue left that everyone stood up and left one after another, and no one dared to say a word.

When Dong Gong stood up, he glanced at Shen Muyin with a half-smile in his eyes. Shen Muyin remained calm and just stood there quietly.

The horse race is over and we will return to Beijing tomorrow.

Even though there has been such a commotion today, it will not affect tonight’s celebration banquet. After all, these things are trivial compared to the hunt.

Shen Muyin looked at him calmly. Shen Yan's eyes fell gloomily on Shen Muyin: "Shen Muyin, when did you do anything?"

Facing Shen Yan's questioning, Shen Muyin was very calm: "Brother, you can't say that. Everyone is here. How can I do something under everyone's eyes?"

With just one sentence, Shen Yan was easily rendered speechless.

Then Shen Muyin nodded slightly and walked forward calmly.

But when passing by Shen Yan, Shen Muyin paused for a moment, and she spoke slowly.

"Shen Yan, do you really think you can succeed in scheming me every time?" Shen Muyin asked directly.

Even after she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Shen Yan. She completely ignored Shen Yan's existence and left calmly.

Shen Yan stood there with a livid face, but facing such a Shen Muyin, he had no way to deal with it. In the end, he could only leave in anger.

……

The paddock was in chaos all afternoon.

The Imperial Guards arrested Shen Zhenzhen immediately, and Shen Zhenzhen kept shouting that he was innocent when he was arrested.

In order to avoid making herself feel bored, Shen Muyin never showed up in the Shen family's tent.

Li Dequan seemed to have a tacit understanding with Shen Muyin, and Shen Muyin stopped him halfway: "Miss Shen, His Highness wants you to come over."

"Okay." Shen Muyin responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, and soon went to the East Palace camp with Li Dequan.

Anyway, everyone in the enclosure knew about the ambiguity between Shen Muyin and Dong Gong. Now that she was there openly, these villains would be speechless.

Besides, the territory of the East Palace is now truly peaceful.

It was a mess outside and no one dared to disturb Donggong. After all, everyone knew Donggong's temper. If you disturbed Donggong's sweet dream, Donggong might take your life.

After all, Donggong is a person with whom there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin didn't say anything. She was thinking about how to explain this matter when she saw Dong Gong later.

Even though Donggong knew the whole cause and effect, she still had to deal with the unknown details.

The Eastern Palace is much more difficult to deal with than the Shen family.

"Ms. Shen, Cheng Mingyue has been found." Li Dequan suddenly spoke.

Shen Muyin nodded, indicating that Li Dequan should finish what he was saying.

Li Dequan did not hesitate: "This person is dead. She fell off the cliff. Her horse is also dead. She was bloody and the scene was a bit tragic. But we can vaguely tell that this is Cheng Mingyue."

After all, there are clothes and a jade pendant around the waist. These things cannot be faked and there is no way to fake them in a short time.

Besides, Cheng Mingyue’s death was part of Shen Muyin’s plan, so Shen Muyin didn’t find it strange when Li Dequan said this.
