Li Yinhu's face was so dark that water could drip from it.

He couldn't figure out why their well-laid plans had suddenly changed so drastically.

Now change has come, and he must face it.

"Duke Duan said, this king will verify as soon as possible."

Gritting his teeth, Duan Jinjiang said again, "If this is true, then there's another question."

Why did King Ning attack Yelu Shenxuan

He knew full well that attacking Yelü Shenxuan would provoke the wrath of the Liao Kingdom, and if the Liao Kingdom attacked the Qin Empire at all costs, he himself would be the first to suffer.

This is also why Yelü Shuxuan and even the previous Yelü Guzan dared to swagger from the border into the capital, and King Ning always treated it as if he couldn't see it. This is perfectly reasonable.

But now that he suddenly turned against Yelü Shenxuan, it means there must be a compelling reason for him to do so. What is this reason, and who gave him the authority to act

Given that this matter originated from the East Palace, could it be understood that the East Palace might know some clues about the connection between Liao and Zhao Xuanji

Duan Jinjiang's words made Li Yinhu's whole body shiver with goosebumps.

He shivered, feeling a chill run down his spine. "Impossible," he muttered instinctively. "How could he possibly know If he found out about Zhao Xuanji and the Liao Kingdom's alliance, he wouldn't stand for it."

"Perhaps, perhaps it's just a coincidence."

Li Yinhu spoke more and more confidently, feeling his own logic was sound. He explained seriously: "That morning during the court session, he killed Hala Dali publicly, challenging Yelu Shenxuan. The two had a deep-seated conflict beforehand. And with his temperament, once he harbored murderous intent, he would do everything in his power to eliminate the other party."

"After all, the person is the prince of Liao, someone you can't just casually touch. So he might as well use this opportunity to have someone else do the dirty work"

"Use King Ning's hand to kill Yelü Shenxuan, then make it seem like there were no witnesses"

Li Yinhu's explanation is completely logically sound.

It seems to be okay.

But Jiang Jian and Long Huaiyu, present there, were intelligent men.

They immediately came up with a question.

Why should the King of Ning listen to the Prince

Knowing full well that once he touched upon Yelü Shénxuán, disaster would follow, what conditions could possibly persuade King Ning to willingly take such a huge risk

Moreover, it was Yelü Shenxuan, not just anyone else.

Once Yelu Shenxuan encounters trouble within the territory of Great Qin, there's no need for evidence or justification. The Liao nation would immediately launch the most ferocious retaliation against Great Qin.

Then, what significance does it hold for Li Chen to use the King of Ning's hand to commit murder

These two problems simply cannot be explained.

Neither Du Juanjiang nor Long Huaiyu voiced their thoughts.

They could tell that Li Yinhu was unable to explain these two problems now.

"We don't know the situation yet, what we need to do first is verify the facts."

Duan Jinjiang bowed slightly and said, "Then let's end our conversation here for today. Please have the Prince look into this as soon as possible, and my disciple and I also need to make some arrangements."

Li Yinhu opened his mouth, but still nodded and said: "Okay, you two, please go ahead."

Just as Li Yinhu and Duan Jinjiang were in an uproar over the sudden news, Duan Jinjiang had already sent the news to the East Palace through the fastest channels.

When Li Chen received the message, he was teasing Gong Huiyu.
