Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 148 The Largest Family

Shen Muyin bit her lip: "Dong Jin is not being watched by Shen Yan."

"If anything unexpected happens, Dong Jin knows how to find you." Qin Chuyan said calmly.

It was as if Qin Chuyan had arranged everything for Shen Muyin, so in this situation, as long as Shen Muyin did what Qin Chuyan said, nothing would happen.

This is a feeling of being held in someone's palm and cared for.

Shen Muyin felt sweet in her heart. She looked up at Qin Chuyan seriously and said, "You have to make sure you are safe and sound. Otherwise, I will go out and marry the person you hate the most."

"I advise you not to have such thoughts." Qin Chuyan sneered.

Shen Muyin uttered "oh" but didn't say anything.

Qin Chuyan took Shen Muyin towards the place where they would rest for the night, holding hands the whole time.

After all, this is in the hunting ground, so the resting place is really just for resting. It is definitely not comparable to the camps outside, and the conditions are quite harsh.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything.

"What are you doing?" Shen Muyin couldn't help but look at Qin Chuyan.

Qin Chuyan was getting some firewood. There was no need to make a fire in this weather, but making a fire would keep the wild beasts away.

But after making a fire, Qin Chuyan began to process the rabbit, cleanly and efficiently.

"You can do these?" Shen Muyin was surprised.

Qin Chuyan wanted to roast a rabbit, and even these tools were found by this person. In Shen Muyin's view, Qin Chuyan was the prince, and these things were taken care of by someone, so he didn't need to do it himself.

"When I was a child, I learned the art of war from the King of Pingxi. He taught me these things." Qin Chuyan explained, "If I were just the East Palace, then this East Palace should have ceased to exist long ago."

Shen Muyin nodded in understanding after hearing this. That was true. If it was just the Eastern Palace, let alone those who attempted to impeach Qin Chuyan, the assassins who appeared in the villa on a daily basis would be enough to send the Eastern Palace away.

"Tell me about the Prince of Pingxi's Palace and the Prince of Xuan's Palace." Shen Muyin asked casually.

Qin Chuyan had already placed the rabbit on the fire and was turning it back and forth: "Why are you suddenly interested in these?"

"Oh, I heard from you that Princess Xuanhe, you and Lord Lu are childhood sweethearts, and you also said that you have been learning military tactics from Prince Pingxi since you were a child, so I can't help but be curious. Then Princess Xuanhe should be very familiar with the people in Prince Pingxi's mansion?" Shen Muyin asked very seriously, but his expression was very innocent, and it was impossible to tell that he had any thoughts.

Qin Chuyan smiled and did not hide anything. He turned the rabbit over and then slowly told the story.

"You know a thing or two about the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion. Ever since Xiangsi disappeared at birth, the princess' health has been deteriorating, so the Prince of Pingxi has been traveling around with her, and they have been living in Jiangnan most of the time. The climate in Jiangnan is much better than that in Kyoto." Qin Chuyan explained slowly.

Shen Muyin knew all these things, but she did not interrupt Qin Chuyan.

"Nan Huai and I have followed them since we were young. At that time, Xiangsi was not yet born, and we had always been in Kyoto. After we finished our studies, Xiangsi's incident happened, and it was also at that time that Su Jin was born. So, Su Jin is not very familiar with the people in the Pingxi Palace. After all, they have been separated for too long." Qin Chuyan explained concisely.

"So Princess Xuanhe is actually not familiar with Prince Pingxi's Palace?" Shen Muyin found the key.

Qin Chuyan nodded but did not deny it.

"What about Prince Xuan and the Princess?" Shen Muyin asked again.

"Of course we are familiar with each other, but they have not been in Kyoto in the past ten years, so they come to visit less often." Qin Chuyan did not hide it.

Shen Muyin nodded, as if he had connected all these fragmentary pieces of information together.

So because of this situation, the relationship between Prince Xuan's Mansion and Prince Pingxi's Mansion has actually become distant. Under this circumstance, when Princess Xuanhe got into trouble, Prince Pingxi's Mansion knew that they were the one fighting Xiangsi, and neither side would give in, so they completely broke off relations.

Qin Chuyan is caught in the middle and is actually in a dilemma.

But in the previous life, when the evidence seemed conclusive, Qin Chuyan could do nothing.

The situation got completely out of control, until the fight between the Prince of Pingxi's Palace and the Prince of Xuan's Palace ended in a loss to both sides.

"Apart from the Palace of Prince Pingxi and the Palace of Prince Xuan, are there any other big families in Yan State?" Shen Muyin was silent for a moment and asked again.

She wanted to know who was the one who benefited from this misfortune.

This made Qin Chuyan look at Shen Muyin: "Why do you have so many questions?"

Shen Muyin remained calm: "You are going to make me your crown prince. If you don't understand these relationships, something will happen sooner or later and embarrass you. Then you will punish me again."

He said this frankly, finding a reasonable excuse for himself and criticizing Qin Chuyan in his heart.

Qin Chuyan laughed out of anger. He suddenly lowered his head and took advantage of Shen Muyin's unpreparedness to give her a kiss, but with a hint of punishment in his kiss, it hurt her a little.

In this situation, Shen Muyin looked at Qin Chuyan angrily and was about to reach out and hit this man, but this man had already torn a roasted rabbit leg for Shen Muyin, blocking all her sounds in an instant.

Shen Muyin stared at Qin Chuyan and ate passively, but it was the first time she felt that the roasted rabbit legs could be so delicious without any seasoning.

After all, it was this person who baked it for him, and Shen Muyin couldn't help feeling happy thinking about it.

"The Palace of Prince Pingxi and the Palace of Prince Xuan are the two largest families in Yan State, without a doubt. They conquered the world together with our father." Qin Chuyan talked about the history.

Shen Muyin didn't interrupt, but just listened quietly, trying to find the key.

"Except for these two families, the rest seem to be discontinuous. Although Fuling's family is also very powerful, it is far behind the Xuanwang Mansion and Pingxiwang Mansion. Not to mention others." Qin Chuyan explained in a low voice.

Shen Muyin quickly pieced together what Qin Chuyan said, trying to find the most crucial clue, but he couldn't find it.

"The rest are the prime minister and a few generals." Qin Chuyan continued, "But father never likes people in the court to form cliques, so he won't let any one clique become stronger. Everyone is about the same."

After the words fell, Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin: "Any other questions?"

Shen Muyin bit her lip slightly in thought, then she shook her head. She really couldn't think of any problems now.

In this situation, Shen Muyin was also a little puzzled. It couldn't be that the person behind the scenes had no clues at all.

Who on earth could hide so deeply?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shen Muyin's mind, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch it, which gave Shen Muyin a headache.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?" Qin Chuyan noticed.
