Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 167 Perfect Layout

There was nothing wrong with Donggong's look, and he even admired her. She was truly the woman he liked.

At this moment, the Cheng family members jumped out and angrily scolded Shen Muyin: "Shen Muyin, don't make false accusations! I think you have other purposes."

When Shen Muyin was scolded by the Cheng family, his eyes were misty and he looked particularly aggrieved.

And there was no sign of lying on Shen Muyin's part, even her attitude was extremely frank.

"Master Cheng, I have no grudges against the Cheng family. I just met Miss Cheng this time and didn't even say a word to her. I also want to know why Miss Cheng was so cruel to me." Shen Muyin sighed, "If we can find Miss Cheng, it would be great."

These words left the Cheng family speechless.

It is a fact that Shen Muyin was injured. Besides, the Cheng family members are not very clear about what happened inside, so they dare not say anything outrageous.

The atmosphere at the scene was even quieter.

Qin Yue's face was already gloomy: "Send someone in to find Zhao Lingling and Cheng Mingyue immediately."

"Yes." The guards on the side responded respectfully and quickly ran towards the mountains.

Shen Muyin was still standing, and Qin Yue immediately summoned the imperial physician: "Send the imperial physician to check on Miss Shen."

"Yes." The chief eunuch did not dare to hesitate and immediately found the imperial physician.

Shen Muyin suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Yue again. Qin Yue knew that she had something to say, but he couldn't tell why. Qin Yue always felt that the eldest lady of the Shen family might even dare to plot against him, the current emperor.

However, the Eastern Palace had no intention of doing anything and was clearly condoning the situation.

Qin Yue dared to bet that whatever Shen Muyin said, Donggong would believe it.

Therefore, Qin Yue also gave up and looked at Shen Muyin calmly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Shen Muyin shook her head: "I didn't mean to say anything. I was just thinking, when I saw Miss Zhao just now, why did Miss Zhao look so horrified when she saw me, as if Miss Zhao knew something?"

These words sounded like Shen Muyin's speculation.

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that what Shen Muyin meant was that Zhao Lingling knew the truth.

So Zhao Lingling was terrified when she saw Shen Muyin coming out alive.

Of course, Shen Muyin couldn't say this. If there was no evidence, it would not do Shen Muyin any good to offend both Zhao and Cheng families at the same time.

But if the current emperor asked this question, the Cheng family and the Zhao family would naturally not dare to say anything.

"I will naturally ask about this matter clearly and will not favor anyone." Qin Yue said lightly.

"Your Majesty is wise." Shen Muyin was also very calm.

After he finished speaking, Shen Muyin looked towards the Shen family. Shen Changsheng and Shen Yan were frightened by Shen Muyin's eyes, and even Concubine Liu was a little uneasy.

Because of the provocation in Shen Muyin's eyes, they could see clearly that this was directed at the Shen family.

But in this situation, the Shen family could not guess what Shen Muyin would do, so naturally they did not dare to act rashly.

Even the things that had been discussed before became quiet.

While Zhao and Cheng's families were in trouble, Shen Muyin was safe and sound. Concubine Liu knew the reason behind this, so she did not dare to act rashly.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird, and everyone present seemed to have their own thoughts.

The chief eunuch also hurried over with the imperial physician, who immediately examined Shen Muyin's condition.

But soon, the imperial physician looked at Shen Muyin, because Shen Muyin was not injured, not even a trace of bruise.

I'm afraid the blood on his body is not Shen Muyin's at all.

Shen Muyin's eyes did not evade at all, he just nodded slightly to the imperial physician.

The imperial physician understood, and then turned to look at the current emperor. Shen Muyin sat calmly on a stool beside him.

Fennel and Dongjin followed. Fennel seemed anxious and worried, but Dongjin was calm.

Shen Muyin listened to the imperial physician's words without changing her expression. She was naturally familiar with the imperial physician in front of her, as he was from the Eastern Palace.

Therefore, the two of them could understand each other's meaning with a simple look. Since the imperial physician was from the Eastern Palace, he would not expose his lie just now.

"Your Majesty, Miss Shen's leg is injured, probably from falling off a horse. We should be thankful that Miss Shen fell just in time, otherwise, she would be disabled. In addition, there are traces of dagger stabs on Miss Shen's body, but they are not too deep, probably because she dodged in time." The imperial physician explained the situation in a serious manner.

The people at the scene were even more shocked.

If you get injured while falling off a horse, it could be because you are not good at riding or the horse is frightened.

But if it's a dagger, it means it's a murder weapon, which means that the situation inside is definitely not normal.

Everyone looked at each other.

The words of the imperial physician made Qin Yue's face change: "How brave! I must find out the truth about this matter. I will never let the mastermind go!"

As soon as Qin Yue finished speaking, the imperial guards had already carried Zhao Lingling out. Zhao Lingling was covered in blood and looked horrible.

"Ling'er!" The people from the Zhao family immediately ran towards Zhao Lingling, their faces changing again and again.

Zhao Lingling looked extremely weak, and Shen Muyin looked at her with pity and sympathy.

The imperial physician immediately stepped forward to examine Zhao Lingling, but Zhao Lingling pushed the imperial physician away and rolled directly to the ground, where she lay, looking at Qin Yue.

"Do you have something to say?" Qin Yue asked Zhao Lingling.

Zhao Lingling nodded with difficulty, but she glanced at Shen Muyin out of the corner of her eye, but Shen Muyin was very quiet.

Seeing Shen Muyin like this made Zhao Lingling startled. She looked up immediately without caring about the pain she was feeling.

She was afraid of death, afraid that even after escaping this disaster, she would still die from Shen Muyin's medicine.

Although Shen Muyin didn't say anything, Zhao Lingling immediately understood what she meant.

Shen Muyin wants to identify Cheng Mingyue as the one who attempted to murder Shen Muyin and to testify that it was Shen Zhenzhen who did it. If she wants to escape, she has to clear herself and put the blame on Shen Zhenzhen for everything.

If she said one wrong word, she would be dead.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Lingling trembled, and in Qin Yue's opinion, her expression showed that she was threatened.

She was indeed threatened, and the person who threatened her was now sitting innocently on the chair, looking like a victim, but she was obviously the murderer.

Zhao Lingling didn't dare to say it.

Her voice was trembling. "Your Majesty, before I went to the horse race, I met Shen Zhenzhen. Shen Zhenzhen is good friends with me and Miss Cheng. She instigated me and Miss Cheng to kill Miss Shen. She said that by doing so, we can get the attention of the emperor and His Highness, and won't be overshadowed. These days, Miss Shen's limelight has indeed made me a little jealous, so I was bewitched and agreed."
