Shen Yuyuan is no longer the daughter-in-law who was snatched away in the past. Now she has no thoughts about her ex-husband, Prince of Qi Li Che, and devotes all her attention to Emperor Ming.

She was only tolerant on the surface, but deep down she was unwilling to share her favor with others.

And it was his own sister Shen Yin.

Shen Yuyuan drank a glass of wine, her face flushed, she leaned on the small Hu bed, and watched Emperor Ming and Madam Shen dismiss the palace maids in the distance. The two of them were affectionate and their veils fell.

A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "What's your trick?"

An Xuan listened to the charming and seductive Shen Yin in his room from afar, who was now talking to Emperor Ming...

He didn't care and wasn't jealous. He just felt that this was a stepping stone on the road to becoming an emperor.

So does Concubine Shen.

He said respectfully: "Godmother, Madam Shen often comes to my house, what do you think?"

Shen Yuyuan knew that her sister Shen Yin had an ambiguous relationship with her brother and seduced Emperor Ming, which made her unhappy. She hoped that she could go to the palace less often and stay away from Emperor Ming.

She raised her eyebrows, wanting to know what conditions An Xuan had:

"What do you need me to do?"

Ever since Mu Jinan gave the Qin Shi Huang's jade seal that he had given her to Emperor Ming last time, An Xuan knew that this man was unwilling to be in the same party with him.

He also knew that Mu Jinan was cruel and wanted to kill him, so after discussing with his military advisor, he felt that he needed to get rid of Mu Jinan as soon as possible, or kidnap her and make her his adviser.

Or leave her to his youngest son An Xuyang as the future Crown Princess.

Shen Yuyuan, although Shen Yin is beautiful and charming, she has no strategy and is just a chess piece in his hand.

An Xuan frowned:

"Godmother, Mu Jinan is jealous of Brother Shen and has been his enemy many times. She made the Mo Dao and trained soldiers, probably for rebellion. She has long been dissatisfied with you and wants to change the world and kill you."

Shen Yuyuan was suddenly shocked, knowing that everyone in the world was calling her a witch who brought disaster to the country and wanted her dead. She believed it a little bit, then heard Shen Yin's charming cry from a distance.

She was unhappy and immediately made up her mind: "Okay, I will tell His Majesty."

An Xuan listened to Shen Yin's deliberate shouting and knew that the two sisters were fools and could be easily exploited. His goal was about to be achieved, killing two birds with one stone.

After a while, Emperor Ming came out and walked over. Shen Yuyuan went forward to support him:

"Your Majesty, I will serve you tonight."

Emperor Ming saw that she was even more beautiful, and couldn't help but look at An Xuan beside him and asked:

"An Xuan, where have you been in Chang'an City recently?"

An Xuan pretended to be submissive: "I stay in the palace every day. Many officials in the court are dissatisfied with me. I dare not go out, for fear of causing trouble for my godmother and Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming frowned, wondering who would dare to be dissatisfied with his godson and embarrass him, so he asked:

"Come on, I'll make the decision for you"

Shen Yin walked out from behind a veil, wearing clothes, with her skin flushed.

Concubine Shen lowered her eyes, feeling jealous.

An Xuan was kneeling. He knew that although Emperor Ming was stupid, he was very suspicious and hated the word "rebellion" the most.

Otherwise, he would not have believed Concubine Hui's scheme to kill three sons in one day, and then fabricate facts and confuse right and wrong:

"Minister Mu often sends people to watch me. She monitors your Majesty's ministers, forges Mo Dao, and selects soldiers."

"And her father Mu Chen and brother Mu Jingyi command a large number of troops in Chang'an City. She also often interacts with General Guo Yi."

"I heard that the King of Liang was very obedient to her. She grew up in the Nangong family in Xuanzhou, Jiangnan. Jiangnan is rich and their wealth is comparable to that of a country."

"She has money, weapons, an army, and royal blood."

"I wonder what she wants to do?"

Concubine Shen suddenly had an idea. She wanted Shen Yin to leave the palace completely. She threw herself into Emperor Ming's arms and cried:

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that someone will kill me."

Emperor Ming hurriedly stroked her back, his expression unhappy. The happiness just now had completely disappeared. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He had been looking for evidence of Mu Jinan's crime these days. He comforted her:

"With me here, what do you have to fear?"

"I want to see who dares to touch my beloved concubine"

An Xuan looked at Emperor Ming's graying hair and found that he was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, so he continued:

"Your Majesty, it is better to take precautions early."

Emperor Ming drank a glass of wine and felt that Mu Jinan should not be underestimated. Originally, she was only given a small official position, but now she has established her own team in the court and has her own followers.

Cui Hengling, Xiao Hechuan, Shen Yuzhong, An Xuan, He Qiushan and others in the court all pointed out that she wanted to rebel, and Emperor Ming also believed that she had rebellious intentions.

If you want to get rid of it quickly.

.....

Time flies.

In the dim morning light, the palace walls are being built, crows are circling, and the remaining lotus leaves in the pond are sunk into the mud.

Dozens of eunuchs were cleaning the pond, which emitted a foul stench.

Song Hao from the Ministry of Justice and the coroner are examining the corpse.

The face was unrecognizable, the body was swollen, there were injuries on the back, it was poisoned, and the body was thrown into a pond.

He has been dead for three days.

Dozens of people looked at the corpse and felt nauseous, terrified, and vomited continuously.

A palace maid shouted in horror: "That's Madam Shen, Concubine Shen's sister!"

Song Hao questioned the maids who served in the palace that day. After Xiaoying was tortured, blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth and her expression was painful. She didn't seem to be hiding something:

"I guarantee with my life that Madam Shen was not in the palace bedroom that night. She left the palace."

The palace maids who were serving at the same time all agreed that Shen Yin was not in the palace that night.

However, the man died in a pond inside the palace and no one found him for three days.

The register of people entering and leaving the palace did record that Shen Yin left the palace that night.

Song Hao arrived at Shen Yin's residence, where the inner courtyard was decorated luxuriously, neatly and cleanly.

He saw that the ground had been washed clean and there was no trace of fighting. The servant told him:

"Mrs. Shen was in the palace that night and did not return home."

The news quickly spread throughout the palace and Chang'an City.

Mu Jinan rode his horse at full speed, and thousands of Southern Yamen imperial guards surrounded the An Mansion, led by Mu Jinan and General Guo Yi.

Mu Jinan was dressed in a scarlet official uniform, his face was serious, and the Tao Yu sword in his hand was shining brightly.

At one command:

"An Xuan is suspected of plotting to murder Madam Shen, your Majesty's favorite concubine. Bring him back to the palace to meet your Majesty."

"Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed without mercy"

Hundreds of imperial guards jumped into the Shen Mansion, kicked down the wall, and the gate collapsed.

The sound of swords, the smell of blood, cries for help, and the sounds of death were carried into the inner courtyard by the breeze.

Mu Jinan and General Guo Yi came to the courtyard, only to see dozens of people guarding An Xuan. An Xuan frowned and stared at Mu Jinan with wolf-like eyes.

Behind him stood a beautiful and charming dancer.

The smell of blood is stronger than the aroma of wine.

The counselor Zhang Jie stepped forward, not afraid at all:

"Minister Mu, General Guo, why did you force your way into the Shen Mansion?"

Guo Yi put a sword to his neck. He was on the battlefield, fighting among thousands of corpses. He disdained such a villain, with a dignified face:

"I am following His Majesty's order, An Xuan, you have murdered Madam Shen, and there is irrefutable evidence."

An Xuan actually had a hint of kingly aura at this moment. He took a step forward with a grim look in his eyes:

"I have never seen Madam Shen. She was your Majesty's concubine. If she died, what does it have to do with me?"

Seeing that he didn't cry even when he saw the coffin, Mu Jinan knew that this man was cunning:

"You threatened Madam Shen's son and killed Madam Shen. She left a letter, which I have presented to Your Majesty."
