The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

Seeing the joy on their faces, Chen Nan knew that the interrogation had probably yielded results.

He then asked, "Did you get the answer?"

Mo Bai nodded: "I got the answer."

"According to their confessions, they were indeed spies sent by the Daqian to the Northern Wei to gather intelligence. They even revealed which general sent them."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Chen Nan's lips immediately vanished.

Mo Bai immediately sensed something was wrong and asked, "Your Highness, is something amiss?"

"That shouldn't be the case..." Chen Nan muttered.

Based on his understanding of Wu Fengluan, if she really was a spy sent by the Great Qian Dynasty, she would not be following orders from a general; she would more likely be directly under the command of Wu Fengluan.

Wu Fengluan was an extremely arrogant woman, and she would never let her subordinates do such a thing; instead, she would keep it firmly in her own hands.

Chen Nan then confirmed, "Are you sure you didn't ask the wrong question? Are they really spies sent by the Great Qian Dynasty? Can they even say which general sent them?"

Mo Bai nodded heavily: "That's right, that's exactly what they said."

Chen Nan sighed heavily and strode into the prison.

This time, he didn't call the jailer, but quietly came to the cell door and carefully observed the actions of the men from the outside.

The group of people were sitting together, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

"Boss, isn't Chen Nan way too gullible? We said he was sent by the Great Qian Dynasty, and they actually believed us?"

The leader chuckled and said, "If Chen Nan hadn't just randomly given us these identities at the beginning, I really wouldn't have been able to think of any better ones."

The group was still basking in the joy of successfully fooling the jailer, and no one noticed Chen Nan and the others outside the door.

Just as the group burst into laughter, one of them suddenly looked up and shouted, "Ah!!!"

The man was very thin, pointing outside the cell door, and stammered, "Chen... Chen Nan..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's smiles froze, and they all turned their gazes towards the outside of the prison.

At that moment, the smile on the leader's face disappeared, and he calmly gave the others a meaningful look.

Chen Nan snorted coldly: "Alright, stop pretending. I heard everything you just said."

"Just tell me honestly who sent you!"

The man said impatiently, "I already said that we were sent by the Great Qian Dynasty. The general who ordered us is named Chen Sheng. He is a favorite of Wu Fengluan. If you dare to lay a hand on us, General Chen Sheng will definitely not let you off."

Speaking of Chen Sheng, Chen Nan smiled and said, "What? Are you sure Chen Sheng sent you?"

The man nodded firmly: "Of course, we've come this far, do you think we still have any reason to lie to you?"

"Have you forgotten that I spent a long time in the Great Qian Dynasty? Do you really think I know Wu Fengluan better than you do?"

"Furthermore, what subject would address His Majesty by his given name?"

"Besides, don't you think the names Chen Nan and Chen Sheng are very similar?"

Chen Nan's three consecutive sentences made the expressions on the faces of the group gradually turn ugly.

None of them considered this possibility, so they were unaware that their words contained so many loopholes.

What Chen Nan said was indeed something they had overlooked.

Moreover, the three of them had no idea that Chen Sheng's name could be said to have been given to him by Chen Nan.

In the eyes of the officials of the Great Qian Dynasty, Chen Sheng was the representative of Chen Nan.

Chen Nan has already been expelled from Daqian, so Chen Sheng's fate will naturally not be any better.

Not to mention calling Wu Fengluan by her given name.

The statements of the men were obviously false, and Chen Nan had no idea how the jailers had actually interrogated them.

Suddenly, Chen Nan changed the subject: "Do you know Qin Guangming or Qin Qingmin?"

He suddenly said those two names, and the others didn't even have time to react.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the leader, but it came and went quickly.

However, it still didn't escape Chen Nan's eyes.

"No, we don't know any of the Qin Qingmin or Qin Guangming you're talking about."

"Why are you suddenly bringing up these two people? Do you think we have any connection with two people, a grandfather and his grandson?"

Chen Nan scoffed, "Didn't you say you didn't know them? How do you know they're grandfather and granddaughter? Did Qin Qingmin climb into your bedside last night and tell you?"

Even the man himself didn't expect that in his haste, he would reveal the relationship between the two, which exposed even more problems between them.

Chen Nan didn't dwell on the issue and brought up the topic again: "So, that golden nanmu garment was also a copy by you?"

This time, the man remembered, and didn't rush to answer after Chen Nan finished speaking.

Instead, he first thought it over carefully in his mind, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he sneer: "Chen Nan, you are slandering us. We have never imitated anything like golden nanmu clothing."

Just when he thought his answer was flawless, Chen Nan burst out laughing.

The man asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

"Don't even mention you, even I had no idea that the Northern Wei had such a national treasure before I saw that garment."

"Since you say you haven't counterfeited it, how do you know about Phoebe zhennan clothing?"

Chen Nan squinted at the group, waiting for their explanation.

In fact, at this point, Chen Nan was already certain that the other party was someone sent by Qin Qingmin.

He was a little puzzled. Although Qin Qingmin had powerful backers, he was still a man of Northern Wei. Why did he harbor such deep hatred for Northern Wei?

He was very curious about the fact that they had people impersonate ordinary citizens to receive relief food and that they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sow discord between the court and the people.

Even though Chen Nan had made it clear, the man still refused to admit it, saying, "Chen Nan, this is slander against us."

“At first, we admitted that we were sent by the Great Qian Dynasty, but you didn’t believe us and made so many excuses to deny our origins.”

"Then they brought out two people we didn't even know, Qin Guangming and Qin Qingmin, and tried to blow us up."

"In the end, it was even more despicable that they actually used the national treasure of the Northern Wei Dynasty to slander us."

"As I said, we don't know either Qin Guangming or Qin Qingmin at all, and we've never even heard of that golden nanmu robe. I only continued talking because you brought it up first."

"Do you, the dignified Prince of Zhennan, really convict others based on mere speculation?"

At this moment, Qingyu behind him asked softly, "Your Highness, are you sure you're not mistaken? Maybe these people are just spies sent by the Great Qian Dynasty."

Qingyu didn't mean he didn't trust Chen Nan; he just didn't want to believe that the Northern Wei, which was founded by the late emperor, would face so many problems so soon.

Mo Bai sneered, "General Qingyu, what are you saying? When have you ever seen the Prince make a wrong judgment?"

With just this one sentence, Qingyu said nothing more.

Just then, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the next cell: "Hahaha, the Prince of Zhennan is really interesting, he has broadened my horizons!"
