Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 153 Extremely Cruel

"How is Prince Xuan's Mansion involved in this matter of lovesickness?" Qin Chuyan asked calmly.

"For example, Zhan Xiangsi killed Princess Xuanhe, or Princess Xuanhe's husband fell in love with someone else, which led to Princess Xuanhe attacking Zhan Xiangsi. Isn't this a perfect connection?" Shen Muyin was guiding Qin Chuyan step by step, allowing him to enter his hypothesis.

However, this is not a hypothesis at all, but history that will definitely repeat itself.

Qin Chuyan's eyes became sharper and sharper, and his voice became a little gloomy: "If according to your speculation, where do you think Xiangsi is now?"

"I can't guess. But I think this person is taking more and more actions now. I'm afraid he has been prepared for a long time." Shen Muyin said calmly, "Maybe he has always known where Zhan Xiangsi is. He is just looking for a reasonable time to do this so that it won't leave any traces."

As he spoke, Shen Muyin still looked at Qin Chuyan calmly.

"After all, even though the Pingxi Palace and Xuan Palace have collapsed, the Qin family is still the king of Yan State, and he still needs time to overthrow the Qin family. So, if this person is really as I thought, he will definitely do it very covertly, at least he will not expose himself, and will return to take all the initiative from the Qin family." Shen Muyin spoke boldly.

What happened next was purely Shen Muyin’s guess.

After all, in her previous life, Shen Muyin had only reached the stage of the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion and the Prince of Xuan's Mansion, and she had no idea what happened afterwards.

So she could only guess, but Shen Muyin felt that her guess was probably right.

Qin Chuyan remained calm and listened quietly.

Shen Muyin didn't know how much this person believed, but under the circumstances, Shen Muyin didn't dare to speculate.

After all, Shen Muyin knew very well who Qin Chuyan was. Once Qin Chuyan became suspicious, the first person he would be unable to explain to would be himself.

At the very least, Shen Muyin would not implicate herself in this. She looked at Qin Chuyan quietly and said nothing more.

Qin Chuyan was silent for a long time, and the two of them just faced each other.

Suddenly, Qin Chuyan's bony hands pinched Shen Muyin's chin, and every word he said was a warning.

"It's enough for you to just tell me about this matter. Don't say a word to anyone else. Otherwise, if something happens, no one will be able to protect you." Qin Chuyan warned Shen Muyin word by word.

"I know." Shen Muyin nodded.

If Qin Chuyan was not someone Shen Muyin trusted very much, and this matter also implicated the Qin family, it would be impossible for Qin Chuyan not to guess.

Then even if it was Qin Chuyan, Shen Muyin would not speak, let alone to outsiders.

In this situation, Shen Muyin was quiet. Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin for a long time before slowly letting go.

During the whole process, Qin Chuyan said nothing, his eyes were calm, so calm that you could not guess what he was thinking, and Shen Muyin naturally did not dare to ask more.

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became quiet.

It was a long time until Qin Chuyan broke the silence: "I know the situation well. Don't act rashly."

"What do you think I will do?" Shen Muyin raised his eyebrows and remained calm.

Qin Chuyan's eyes were a little cold, but this coldness was directed at Shen Muyin. Shen Muyin did not expose it, after all, Qin Chuyan himself did not admit it.

"Shen Muyin, just because you are looking for someone doesn't mean I don't know. And it just so happens that the person you are looking for may also be related to the previous dynasty, so you would put so much thought into this matter." Qin Chuyan simply explained.

Shen Muyin lowered her head and remained silent. She neither denied nor admitted it.

After all, in front of Qin Chuyan, she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and he could see clearly what she was thinking.

So in this situation, it’s better not to struggle.

"And the Shen family is probably not your stepping stone." Qin Chuyan continued, "But you are a member of the Shen family after all. Aren't you afraid that if something happens to the Shen family one day, you will be implicated as well?"

With nine generations of his clan implicated, Shen Muyin naturally couldn’t escape either.

"Or have you already figured out how to escape?" Qin Chuyan asked directly.

Qin Chuyan couldn't tell why, but he always felt that Shen Muyin had already made all the preparations.

Even in the conversation just now, this woman was probably just calculating herself and involving herself in this matter.

Or maybe she could guide herself to think in a direction that she wants.

In other words, Shen Muyin never told the whole truth from beginning to end.

This woman was so vague that you couldn't find any further questions, but you still let her finish the main points she wanted to tell you.

Oh, you want to use him to get things done, but you speak vaguely. Is there such a good thing?

So Qin Chuyan was waiting to see how Shen Muyin would explain this matter to him.

Shen Muyin smiled calmly and looked at Qin Chuyan without changing his expression: "Don't I still have His Highness? How could His Highness let anything happen to me?"

These words were spoken arrogantly and directly, leaving Qin Chuyan unable to respond to a single word of his retort. Qin Chuyan remained silent, but was eventually made to laugh by Shen Muyin.

Of course, Shen Muyin knew very well that such an explanation was not enough to satisfy Qin Chuyan.

She calmed down. "The Shen family means nothing to me. I didn't grow up with the Shen family, and they never treated me as a member of the Shen family. I misunderstood that I was just a tool they were using. I was able to come back from the Xu Mansion because of my grandmother's wedding. But the second house tried to strangle me in the cradle to prevent me from coming back. And all 40 people in the Xu Mansion died. So why should I care about the Shen family's every move? What does their life and death have to do with me?"

Shen Muyin said it cruelly and directly, without even any emotion.

She looked at Qin Chuyan steadily, expressing her meaning clearly.

Qin Chuyan was calm: "You want to kill the Shen family. I think you have many ways to do it, but every time you just teach them a lesson and don't really do anything, right?"

The enemy can be tortured to death.

But sometimes, if you give the enemy some breathing space, then when he finds an opportunity, you will be the one who gets in trouble.

Qin Chuyan didn't think that Shen Muyin would not understand this principle, unless Shen Muyin was waiting for something.

And this is probably what Shen Muyin never said to me.

After a moment of silence, Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin calmly without changing his expression, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Shen Muyin remained calm and spoke clearly word by word: "Because I think the people of the Shen family are not simple. I want to know whether the Shen family is colluding with others inside and outside."

This explanation was also reasonable. Qin Chuyan nodded lightly, indicating that he believed it.
