Spring in the East Palace

It seems that only in this way can Donggong sleep peacefully.

During the whole process, neither of them spoke. Shen Muyin looked down at Dong Gong, also very quiet.

Just at this moment, Xiao Qi came out from the darkness. He was not surprised by such things.

Shen Muyin did not dodge and looked at Xiao Qi calmly.

Of course, she didn't go to the villa for Shen Yan's matter. Shen Muyin knew Shen Yan's situation very well. What she wanted to ask was about these salt dealers.

Donggong had already made preparations, so Xiaoqi appeared in front of him.

"Miss, Shen Yan can't get anything out of him, and he has cleared himself completely." Xiao Qi said calmly, "When the Ministry of Justice interrogated him, he was sure that he was framed. He happened to be patrolling the city gate and encountered this kind of thing. Shen Yan has never been involved in any business, and he has never had any dealings with salt dealers, so it is difficult for the Ministry of Justice to convict him."

Xiao Qi told Shen Muyin the general idea of ​​what happened.

Shen Muyin lowered his brows and was thinking about this matter seriously.

"Where is the servant who testified against Shen Yan?" Shen Muyin asked calmly.

There are many people who testify against Shen Yan, and Shen Muyin has made all the arrangements. Of course, she doesn't really expect these people to do anything to Shen Yan. She wants to lock Shen Yan up here to make the person behind the scenes anxious.

She dared to bet that Shen Yan knew quite a lot, but it was all fragmented. It would take some time to piece them together.

So Shen Muyin was not in a hurry to know these things, including the last incident with Shen Zhenzhen. Shen Muyin tried every means to force this person out.

This person can escape once, but he can't escape every time.

The fox's tail will eventually be exposed, after all, there is no impenetrable wall in this world.

"These servants are really strange." Xiao Qi was still very calm, "Dead."

"Died in the palace?" Shen Muyin looked at Xiao Qi with some surprise.

"Yes, something happened in the Sky Prison. But no trace of a third party was found. It seemed like they all died of mass poisoning. Even the coroner couldn't find any cause." Xiao Qi did not hide it.

It was as if it was premeditated from beginning to end and had been prepared a long time ago.

If they can complete it successfully, then at least they can survive. If they cannot complete it successfully, they will probably die.

There would be no chance to say anything more, let alone to accuse anyone.

Shen Muyin knew even more clearly that no important clues could be obtained from these people.

This person is extremely smart. He removes himself completely from everything without leaving any trace.

How can one not be excited about such an opponent?

Shen Muyin nodded: "I understand."

Xiao Qi then left silently. Shen Muyin was still pinching Dong Gong's forehead to help him fall asleep.

Dong Gong slept like this for two hours before slowly opening his eyes. Shen Muyin's hands were resting on the table beside him, quiet and peaceful.

When there was movement in the East Palace, Shen Muyin immediately opened his eyes and looked at the East Palace: "Are you awake? Have you not rested for a long time again?"

When they are alone, they don't need to use honorifics.

Dong Gong hummed, without denying: "There have been a lot of things to do recently, and I can't rest well."

Some things cannot be done during the day and can only be done at night. In addition, the sleeping conditions in the East Palace are noisy during the day. A few days ago, when I was still in the Imperial Palace, there were countless people who came to the East Palace to seek an audience every day.

How could Donggong have a good rest?

So in this situation, Donggong went straight back to Xiangshan Villa. At least no one dared to come here.

Even the current emperor Qin Yue has to inform in advance when he goes to Xiangshan Villa.

Otherwise, let alone meeting the Eastern Palace, he might even get angry and become ill, so Qin Yue never came unless necessary.

Since the current emperor has acted like this, the rest of the people dare not act rashly. Only by staying here in the East Palace can they have peace for a few days.

"Have you taken my medicine on time?" Shen Muyin asked calmly.

Dong Gong smiled and said, "Aren't you my best medicine?"

These words sounded somewhat ambiguous and flirtatious, causing Shen Muyin to become furious.

Before this man lost his temper, Donggong said calmly, "Drink it. At least it can guarantee two hours of rest every day."

Shen Muyin listened and felt slightly relieved as it proved that the situation was better than before.

The poisoning of the East Palace is a long-term problem and it won't be easily dissipated in a short time, so she is not in a hurry.

If she could find the reason, she would be able to cure Donggong’s insomnia.

"Are you going to the villa because of Shen Yan's matter?" Dong Gong raised his eyebrows and asked directly.

"I guess so." Shen Muyin did not deny it.

Donggong had already sat up. Shen Muyin put the coat on him and bent down to carefully tie the belt.

Compared with the Imperial Palace, the temperature here in the villa is much lower. Even in summer, we still have to cover ourselves with quilts at night because we are in the mountains after all.

"How do you want to deal with this matter?" Dong Gong asked calmly.

Shen Muyin was quiet for a moment, and did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked at Dong Gong and asked, "How can I deal with this matter?"

At least on the surface, the decision-making power in this matter is not hers, so she can only talk about it. In this situation, Shen Muyin is neither anxious nor impatient.

"Can we use extreme torture on him, pull out his tendons and skin him, soak him in salt water, throw him out to feed the wolves, let him be entangled by poisonous snakes, and finally feed his corpse to vultures?" Every word of Shen Muyin's was bloody.

Qin Chuyan laughed angrily: "If you don't learn good things, you will learn bad things."

"So everything your highness teaches is bad?" Shen Muyin raised his eyebrows.

Qin Chuyan was so angry that he couldn't answer: "..."

Suddenly he realized that it was not a good thing for his woman to be too smart. No matter how proud she was, she could always be completely controlled by him.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuyan sighed silently. Shen Muyin remained calm, and soon lowered his head and smiled.

Qin Chuyan had no way to deal with Shen Muyin, so he shook his head and took the initiative to explain the matter.

"You can't touch Shen Yan, there is no evidence. Shen Yan has cleared himself of this matter, and Xiaoqi has explained it to you just now. Although the prefect of Beijing is not a very important person, he still has a certain weight in the court. Especially to the people of Kyoto, the prefect of Beijing is a good official." Qin Chuyan said lightly.

Being a good official means that he has the hearts of the people. As long as Shen Yan is innocent, the people will still stand on the side of the Shen family.

If the Shen family were attacked, it would be the imperial court that would be criticized in the end, not the Shen family, and it would also be the imperial court that would be in trouble.

"So, in this situation, if you don't have perfect evidence to accuse Shen Yan, then if you take action, this matter will be very troublesome in the future." Qin Chuyan explained.

Shen Muyin was quiet for a moment, but then he quickly connected the dots.

It is indeed true.
