Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 243 The East Palace’s Intention

Otherwise how could it be such a coincidence, but unfortunately, they couldn't find any evidence at all.

Even if I stare at Shen Muyin like this, I can't find any evidence.

"He suspected that Shen Muyin knew everything, so he wanted me to lure the snake out of its hole yesterday. As a result, Shen Muyin didn't follow me at all, so I think he was also confused." Shen Zhenzhen explained.

Everything seems clear, but when put together, it catches people off guard.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhenzhen's brows were tightly furrowed, and his whole mood became extremely tense.

"Let's wait and see." Shen Yan said calmly, "I don't think he will tolerate Shen Muyin's behavior. If that's the case, even if Shen Muyin is the one, he can't control her, and it will only ruin his good deeds, so he should change someone. Over the years, before Shen Muyin's identity was confirmed, didn't he train several substitutes? So, I think he should take action."

"Okay." Shen Zhenzhen nodded.

This is probably all we can do now.

Even if the Shen family is unwilling, they can only keep a low profile under the current circumstances.

Who knows what other leverage the Eastern Palace has? If we face them directly later, we will be in trouble.

After a moment of silence, the Shen family walked into the house.

The carriage of Fengxi Palace had already stopped outside the palace gate.

You cannot use any carriage to enter the palace, only a sedan chair carried by people. Shen Muyin was not that pretentious, so he walked in when he arrived at the palace gate.

This was not the first time Shen Muyin came to Fengxi Palace, so this time he was familiar with the place.

When we arrived at Fengxi Palace, the eunuch was already waiting: "Miss Shen, the Queen invites you in."

"Thank you, eunuch." Shen Muyin handed the silver to the eunuch chief.

These people may seem inconspicuous in the palace, but they know all kinds of news.

So the best strategy is to bribe them so that they don't cause you any trouble.

Seeing this, the butler smiled and accepted the silver: "Miss Shen, if you have anything to ask, just tell me and I will do my best."

"I dare not." Shen Muyin nodded with a smile.

In the palace, everyone seems to be living with a hypocritical mask on, so you naturally have to do the same here.

Shen Muyin was naturally no exception.

Then she quietly followed the eunuch into the palace.

The Empress Dowager was waiting, but to Shen Muyin's surprise, the Eastern Palace was also there.

Shen Muyin calmly greeted: "Your humble servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May Her Majesty live a thousand years, and may His Royal Highness live a thousand years, and may He ...

"Get up." The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand.

Shen Muyin then stood up, and the empress dowager said directly: "I originally wanted to summon you to the palace to accompany me for tea, and cook dinner for me for a few days. I am still thinking about what you made last time." The empress dowager said with a smile, and she was in a good mood.

Then she paused for a moment and said, "Humph, this prince is so good. He came to me when he knew I had summoned you to the palace. You know, before I asked him to come, he always found excuses not to come. Now that you are here, I don't even need to look for anyone, he just came on his own."

These words seemed to be teasing Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin's ears turned slightly red due to what the Queen Mother said, and she secretly criticized the Eastern Palace in her heart.

Donggong, on the other hand, seemed like nothing had happened and was drinking tea calmly.

"The prince has threatened me. If I don't understand, and the prince doesn't appoint a crown princess, the emperor will blame me." The empress dowager waved her hand.

But there was no blame for the Eastern Palace between the lines, only doting.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor dote on the Crown Princess, and no matter what the Crown Princess does, they will remain the same.

Even the memorials submitted to the emperor were mostly impeachments of the bloody and cruelty of the Eastern Palace, believing that the Eastern Palace was not worthy of the position of crown prince.

But after so many years, no one has been able to impeach the Eastern Palace, which shows the status of the Eastern Palace in the hearts of the emperor and the empress dowager.

"Okay, I won't be a light bulb anymore. You continue chatting with the prince. After the Ghost Festival, send the prince to the other courtyard, and you can go to Fengxi Palace to accompany me." The queen mother finished her words with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Gui stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother leave.

Shen Muyin said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your servant respectfully sends the Queen Mother off."

Dong Gong didn't say anything during the whole process, and walked towards Shen Muyin very naturally.

"You're not as polite to me as you are to your grandmother?" Qin Chuyan snorted, and started to care about this matter.

Shen Muyin raised an eyebrow: "Why should I be polite to you? We are on the same boat, do I need to be polite?"

This was said frankly, and it made Qin Chuyan laugh out of anger.

"I asked my grandmother to summon you to the palace specifically because I was afraid that you were still thinking about what happened before. But you came here and made me unhappy right away." Qin Chuyan was not polite.

He quietly looked at the bright and attractive woman in front of him. He knew that this was the result of his pampering.

Qin Chuyan still clearly remembers how frightened and nervous Shen Muyin was when she first met her.

Oh, now that I think about it, it was all fake.

After all, in the entire Yan State, probably only Shen Muyin dared to take advantage of his woman for the first time.

It was at that time that he started thinking about Shen Muyin.

So in fact, everything has a traceable path.

But Shen Muyin didn't answer Qin Chuyan's words, she just stood there, which made Qin Chuyan lose all his temper.

Qin Chuyan then shook his head helplessly, and naturally took Shen Muyin's hand: "Grandma's little garden has a few more roses. I'll take you to see them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chuyan took Shen Muyin towards the small garden. The man's big hand felt warm.

Shen Muyin looked down, his brows with a faint smile and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

It's a nice feeling to be pampered.

"Do you suspect anyone today?" Qin Chuyan asked after he walked to the small garden.

Shen Muyin listened, was quiet for a while, and then shook his head: "No, I don't see any suspicious people, they are angry, they don't care, they are insignificant, but there is no caution and no snooping."

Shen Muyin explained very calmly, and then she did not avoid the gaze at all.

"As for the Prince Consort of Xuan's Mansion, I also watched it. His attention was entirely on Princess Xuanhe. It seemed that he didn't care at all about who was beheaded or who was guilty." Shen Muyin mentioned Nangong Sheng.

She thought that Donggong should have seen it as well.

Then Shen Muyin looked at Donggong: "Besides, didn't Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi catch the suspect?"

Dong Gong raised an eyebrow: "Heh, Dong Jin speaks fast."

"I want to meet this person." Shen Muyin said quietly.
