Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 173 Silent Killing

Lu Nanhuai's expression was exceptionally calm. He did not immediately respond to Qin Chuyan's words.

He thought of the person he met that time, but it was just a fleeting moment, and yet Lu Nanhuai could somehow guess the person's identity.

But he had no evidence, so he never spoke.

"Wait until I find the evidence." Lu Nanhuai said directly.

Qin Chuyan lowered his head and sneered: "You are too law-abiding."

Lu Nanhuai requires evidence for everything, but Qin Chuyan is different. He does everything based on his own happiness.

Of course, Qin Chuyan was not acting on impulse. At least Qin Chuyan was very clear about who had problems and who did not.

It's just that he won't wait for evidence.

This is probably because of the difference in personality between him and Lu Nanhuai.

Facing Qin Chuyan's sneer, Lu Nanhuai was very direct: "If I don't obey the law, when Your Highness ascends the throne one day, I will sooner or later become a tyrant famous throughout the world."

Qin Chuyan laughed out of anger.

Lu Nanhuai was unwilling to suffer any loss. If he said something, Lu Nanhuai would naturally seek justice.

Qin Chuyan was too lazy to argue with Lu Nanhuai. Why are you arguing with someone who doesn't know how to adapt?

If this person could know how to adapt, then Xuan Sujin would not be with Nangong Sheng today.

This time he took the initiative, and Qin Chuyan thought he had figured it out? Bullshit, he still did what he was supposed to do.

After coming out of the hunting ground, this man never looked for Xuan Sujin again.

So what's the purpose of these three days? To make yourself more and more unhappy?

In this unsolvable situation, the two have already walked to the celebration dinner, and the atmosphere is still very lively.

What happened in the afternoon did not affect the dinner at all. After all, it was just a matter between a few women, and in their opinion, it was completely insignificant.

Qin Chuyan walked towards his seat calmly. He glanced in the direction of the Shen family out of the corner of his eye and was surprised to find that Shen Muyin had not arrived yet.

This time, Qin Chuyan remained even calmer.

……

At that time——

Shen Muyin left the East Palace camp in a low-key manner, but did not head towards the Shen family.

Dong Jin followed Shen Muyin quietly: "Miss, where are you going?"

"Can you kill people silently?" Shen Muyin suddenly looked at Dong Jin.

Dong Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly: "I can kill people. As long as the young lady can tell me how to do it, I can do it."

Are you kidding? If the secret guards can’t kill people, can they still be called secret guards?

"Get rid of Zhao Lingling." Shen Muyin said cruelly, "So that she won't continue to suffer."

Shen Muyin's eyes fell on the Zhao family's tent not far away. There was no mercy in his eyes, and the bloodiness was clearly visible.

It's not that she can't take action, but if she does, it will be too obvious and it will be easy for others to find fault with her.

But Dong Jin would not do that. The fact that Dong Jin is the secret guard of the Eastern Palace and has been able to repeatedly survive in dangerous environments is enough to prove Dong Jin's ability.

So it is best for Dong Jin to handle this matter.

Shen Muyin had not originally intended to keep Zhao Lingshen alive, and the medicine she fed him did not contain an antidote.

According to her understanding of Zhao Lingling, let alone the day when the antidote is available, if Zhao Lingling is in pain tonight, she will probably tell everything.

It's not that it can't be handled, it just adds a lot of trouble.

It just so happens that what Shen Muyin hates most is getting himself into trouble.

But Shen Muyin still has to do things to save face. Sowing discord is not something that only the Shen family would do.

Dong Jin had left silently. Shen Muyin stood there, waiting for Huixiang to come find him.

After a while, Hui Xiang appeared in front of Shen Muyin: "Miss, you are finally back. The master and the second lady looked really unhappy."

Oh, it’s not ugly at all. Shen Zhenzhen, whom they are so proud of, is imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

Now I’m afraid that the Shen family has no intention of causing trouble for me, but instead wants to find a way to get Shen Zhenzhen out of the Sky Prison.

"It's okay. Come with me to the Zhao family." Shen Muyin said lightly.

Fennel nodded, thinking about the horse racing in the afternoon, but didn't say anything. The master and servant walked towards the Zhao family's tent.

When Shen Muyin arrived, no one in the Zhao family had any thoughts at all, after all, Zhao Lingling's situation was just as tragic.

"Lord Zhao, Madam Zhao, I'm here to see Miss Zhao." Shen Muyin sighed, "Miss Zhao is so kind, she must be safe."

When the people from the Zhao family saw Shen Muyin, they didn’t know whether to be angry or happy for a moment.

First of all, Shen Muyin is a member of the Shen family, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Shen Muyin and the Shen family do not get along, otherwise, the Shen family would not have done such a cruel thing to Shen Muyin.

Secondly, Shen Muyin has a close relationship with the Eastern Palace, and everyone here knows it clearly. To curry favor with Shen Muyin is, in some ways, equivalent to currying favor with the Eastern Palace.

"I'm also very sorry about what happened to Miss Zhao. I didn't expect something like this to happen." Shen Muyin said slowly, with tears in his eyes.

Then Shen Muyin did not give the Zhao family a chance to speak. He sighed and quickly continued, "I mentioned this matter to His Highness, and His Highness also felt sorry and asked me to make a special trip to see Miss Zhao."

Between the lines, Shen Muyin brought Donggong along.

This is to tell the Zhao family that the Eastern Palace is on the Zhao family's side in this matter.

This is also a warning to the Zhao family, to let them know what to do and what not to do.

Tell the Zhao family where to stand, instead of making the same mistake over and over again.

"Miss Shen, what else did His Highness say?" Lord Zhao asked Shen Muyin nervously.

Shen Muyin remained calm: "Miss Zhao said that Zhenzhen was responsible for this matter, but Zhenzhen is usually very nice to me, so I still don't believe it. His Highness asked me to make my own decision. Other than that, he didn't say anything else."

It seemed that nothing related to the Zhao family was mentioned, but between the lines, the Zhao family was told that the East Palace did not trust the Shen family.

It was simply because of her special relationship that the Eastern Palace did nothing.

Lord Zhao's expression became subtle, but Shen Muyin seemed not to notice it and said calmly: "Lord Zhao, is it convenient for me to go see Miss Zhao?"

"Of course." Lord Zhao nodded.

Soon, Lord Zhao accompanied Shen Muyin towards the tent behind. Shen Muyin remained calm because she had heard the noise.

Dong Jin left.

So this means that Zhao Lingling is dead.

But on the surface, Shen Muyin did not react at all. He just quietly followed Lord Zhao into the tent.

Suddenly, a servant rushed out of the tent, her face panicked, her voice trembling: "Master... Miss... committed suicide."

Now, everyone was in chaos. Shen Muyin looked very surprised and hurriedly followed Lord Zhao into the tent.

Sure enough, Zhao Lingling died, with a deep wound on her wrist that was visible all of a sudden.
