Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 216 Suspicion of the Prince Consort

"Because the prince consort wants double-sided embroidery. Double-sided embroidery is the unique skill of the Wen family. The entire Wen family was executed many years ago. The charge was treason. If the embroidery room produces double-sided embroidery and is used by people with ulterior motives, then the embroidery room will be implicated." Shen Muyin said calmly.

Even Shen Muyin's eyes did not move away from Donggong: "So I can't guess why the prince consort wants to embroider on both sides. The embroidery room has never said that they can embroider on both sides. The entire Wen family was executed, and this skill was completely lost. Don't you think it's strange?"

Every word Shen Muyin spoke was clear and calm.

Then she looked at Donggong steadily, as if she also wanted Donggong to give her an answer.

Donggong remained calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Shen Muyin didn't urge him, but she had already become suspicious of Nangong Sheng, so she would push the matter to Donggong.

It must be easier for Donggong to intervene than for her.

Especially now that she had no evidence at all, she couldn't say a word.

In Shen Muyin's opinion, if this person is really Nangong Sheng, then this matter is even more unfathomable.

How big a purpose does a person have to be able to endure in Prince Xuan's mansion for so many years, waiting for the right opportunity to act? And what is Nangong Sheng's purpose?

Was his love for Princess Xuanhe all a disguise?

Shen Muyin was thinking about what happened in her previous life. She couldn't imagine such a scene. In the end, Shen Muyin could only calm down.

It's so confusing, so outrageous and unbelievable.

So she could only respond to each move and had no way of doing anything she wanted.

"Do you suspect Nangong Sheng?" Donggong asked solemnly after a long while.

Shen Muyin didn't deny it but didn't admit it either. He just stood there, looking at Donggong quietly.

After waiting for a while, the man's voice continued: "No matter what you think, this matter cannot be revealed at all. Nangong Sheng is very important to the Xuanwang Mansion. Your power cannot compete with him. Moreover, this matter involves too many people and things, so, without absolute evidence, you must bury it deep underground and never make it public."

This was the first time in such a long time that Qin Chuyan warned Shen Muyin so seriously.

Shen Muyin naturally understood the reason behind Qin Chuyan's words.

But all this is just my guess.

It was as if he had been involved in a shocking case in his previous life, which triggered a bloody battle between two families. This person just used everyone as chess pieces.

In this life, many things have changed. Maybe Nangong Sheng was the trigger he threw out to provoke a confrontation between himself and Nangong Sheng, so the one who would be involved would be Donggong.

Therefore, Shen Muyin had thought about every step. Naturally, he couldn't make it too clear, nor could he really do anything.

Especially now when nothing is clear.

"I know." Shen Muyin responded.

"I will ask about this matter indirectly." Donggong nodded.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything else. It was enough for Donggong to say this.

Then the Wenxiang Pavilion suddenly became quiet until Donggong suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin was slightly stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Where is my gift?" Dong Gong asked directly.

At first, Shen Muyin didn't understand what this person meant. Later, he realized that this person was asking him for a gift for the Ghost Festival.

The gifts for the Ghost Festival are obviously given to your loved one.

Shen Muyin was prepared, but did not intend to tell Donggong now. Now when Donggong asked her openly, Shen Muyin could not hold it back.

I don’t know if it was because of shame or something else, but Shen Muyin didn’t want to pay any attention to this person at all.

Without thinking, Shen Muyin turned around and was about to leave, but Donggong was faster and pulled Shen Muyin directly into his arms.

"Qin Chuyan..." Shen Muyin was so angry that he called the man by his full name.

She felt that the Eastern Palace was becoming more and more presumptuous. After all, this was still the Shen Residence, not the Eastern Palace, nor the Xiangshan Villa.

But Donggong has always been used to doing things his own way, so why would he care about this person?

Soon, the man's thin lips pressed against Shen Muyin's lips, completely blocking all of Shen Muyin's protests.

The long kiss fell on Shen Muyin's heart, making his heart tremble constantly.

When the lips touch, it's a heart-pounding feeling.

In the face of this man's powerful siege, Shen Muyin was eventually defeated, and her slender hands took the initiative to hug the man's neck.

Outside the window, there were the sounds of birds singing. Inside the house, it was so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly. The only sound was each other's breathing.

It was a long time, until Shen Muyin couldn't breathe, that Qin Chuyan let go of this man.

Shen Muyin angrily pushed the man away, but Qin Chuyan's hand was still holding Shen Muyin's. His deep and solid voice came out word by word: "You really didn't prepare a gift for me?"

Perhaps bewitched by this man, Shen Muyin responded, "I've prepared it. It's a lucky charm with your name embroidered on it."

This time, Qin Chuyan laughed out loud: "Well, let's find some time to go to Xiangshan Temple together."

Before Shen Muyin could even finish her words, Qin Chuyan took the initiative to say this.

This time, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, don't you never believe in ghosts and gods? Why do you want to go to Xiangshan Temple now?"

Donggong doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he only believes in himself. Otherwise, Donggong would have died countless times.

Shen Muyin is a dead person, so he believes in ghosts and gods and prays for this amulet devoutly.

Qin Chuyan, on the other hand, listened to Shen Muyin's words without changing his expression: "If you believe it, I believe it too."

These words were spoken frankly, and naturally put himself together with Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin listened and was so angry that he laughed, but he couldn't do anything about the person in front of him.

Even as this man spoke, her heart beat faster and faster. It was a heart-pounding feeling that made Shen Muyin unable to stop.

Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin quietly, and the next moment he embraced her in his arms.

Shen Muyin was stunned and looked up at this man. Their eyes collided in the air.

"You have to be careful these days and don't reveal your identity." Qin Chuyan explained carefully, "When you can't handle the salt dealer's affairs, stop. I don't care what you do, but you must not implicate yourself."

Qin Chuyan spoke very seriously, and there was no trace of joking when he looked at Shen Muyin.

What happened today was enough to make Qin Chuyan tremble with fear.

Even though the State of Yan is the Qin family's territory, it does not mean that he can watch Shen Muyin anytime and anywhere.

Sometimes it is such a mistake that may catch him off guard.

"I know." Shen Muyin responded in a low voice.

"What happened today must not happen again." Qin Chuyan said directly.
