Spring in the East Palace

Even throughout the whole process, when Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin, there was no trace of joking in his expression.

Even when he said these words, he seemed calm and composed, as if they were the result of careful consideration.

Shen Muyin was slightly stunned and listened to Qin Chuyan's words quietly.

Under such circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for Shen Muyin to say that he was not moved.

It seemed that for such a long time, only Donggong could hold himself in the palm of his hand, and this person was originally high and mighty.

"And I can't give myself a weakness. If I do, there will be no return. I can only give myself hope." Qin Chuyan finished speaking, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Muyin raised her head and said quietly, "Qin Chuyan, I want you to promise me that you are safe and sound. Even if you lead the troops to fight, no matter what happens, I want you to tell me everything in detail without hiding anything. Otherwise, I will marry immediately and you will never be able to find me again."

This was a threat, but Shen Muyin said it neither lightly nor seriously, and it sounded like a joke.

"You dare." Qin Chuyan sneered, "I want to see who dares to marry you."

In Kyoto, everyone knows that Shen Muyin is from the Eastern Palace. He wants to know who has the courage to marry Shen Muyin.

"Why shouldn't I dare?" Shen Muyin said calmly.

Donggong doesn't like being threatened, and Shen Muyin doesn't like being threatened either.

There is indeed nothing that Shen Muyin dare not do.

The two were in a stalemate, and in the end, it was Donggong who compromised. He looked at Shen Muyin with a smile: "I promise you, I will definitely come back on time, and you have to wait for me to marry you safely in Kyoto."

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded.

Half a year was enough time for her to sort out all her affairs.

At that time, there would be no more threats, and the Eastern Palace would not need to worry about her. She could wait safely in Kyoto for this man to return triumphantly.

Shen Muyin never grasped the main point of these confusing thoughts in his mind.

So in this situation, Shen Muyin calmed down for a while and did not force himself.

Everything that Donggong said to her, plus everything in Kyoto, seemed to Shen Muyin like internal and external troubles.

Suddenly, Shen Muyin looked up: "Then do you know who is the one who is rebelling outside?"

"I know." Dong Gong nodded, "But as you said, this person should not be the one behind the scenes."

These people are probably just pawns, and they are loyal warriors, so there is no way to break through.

"What about this time?" Shen Muyin mentioned the affairs of the Ling family and the Wang family.

Shen Muyin knew that Donggong had arrested someone, so it was natural for Shen Muyin to think of this matter.

"This person has indeed been lurking in Kyoto for a long time. Among the officials beheaded this time, one of them was his adoptive father. All things can be connected together, so you may be worrying too much about this matter." Qin Chuyan explained.

Shen Muyin was quiet for a moment, and then looked at Qin Chuyan with a determined look: "What if this person is also a dead warrior?"

Donggong's eyes darkened, but he didn't say these words.

If this is really the case, then it will be troublesome.

All I can say is that this person is simply unfathomable and it's impossible to figure him out.

"That's troublesome." Donggong did not hide this drawback.

Shen Muyin also knew this truth, she nodded: "I want to meet this person."

"I'll ask someone to tell grandma." Qin Chuyan didn't object.

Then Qin Chuyan whispered to Dong Jin and asked Dong Jin to go in and pass on the message. Dong Jin looked at Dong Gong with disapproval.

"Your Highness, it's not good for you to let me go to do something like this where I'll be criticized, right?" Dong Jin pouted. "What if the Queen gets angry and kills me? Then no one will stay with the young lady."

Oh, Your Highness is not stupid, and she is not stupid either, okay?

The Queen Mother is only polite to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which does not mean she is polite to other people.

What's more, it's obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is using the Empress Dowager to meet the person he likes. Not only is he meeting her, but he's also bringing her back to the Xiangshan Villa. Isn't this causing trouble for the Empress Dowager?

After all, the Queen Mother likes it too.

If she went in to pass on the message, she might actually lose her head when she turned around.

Dong Jin's head shook like a rattle, with a look of resistance on his face.

Qin Chuyan was so angry that he laughed: "I asked you to go, why do you have so many objections? Can the Queen Mother eat you up?"

Dong Jin snorted and walked inside reluctantly to report to the Queen Mother as Qin Chuyan requested.

To put it nicely, it's reporting to the emperor; to put it less nicely, it's notifying the Empress Dowager. The matter is settled.

Shen Muyin looked at it and laughed silently.

Shen Muyin knew that Qin Chuyan was actually a very kind person to his own people. Just like what Dong Jin said, Donggong would not be angry at all.

Therefore, this person is not as cruel and ruthless as he appears to be.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin lowered his head and chuckled, and then he really laughed out loud.

"How could you do that? My secret guards followed you and you didn't even listen to me, and you still laughed out loud? Isn't this what you wanted to do to see the death row prisoner?" Dong Gong said unhappily.

This time, Shen Muyin was obedient: "I know I was wrong."

"How can you admit your mistake? Even if the sun rises in the west." Donggong said it bluntly.

Shen Muyin didn't reply. She really didn't know she was wrong. She would dare to do it again next time.

Qin Chuyan did not expose Shen Muyin's thoughts. Soon, Dong Jin came out with Nanny Gui.

Nanny Gui looked at the Eastern Palace in a serious tone, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother said that you should take Miss Shen away, but you must not cause any trouble. After all, she was summoned by Fengxi Palace. If something goes wrong, Fengxi Palace will be in trouble."

The words were spoken slowly and calmly, but the Empress Dowager's words were conveyed to the Eastern Palace verbatim.

Qin Chuyan was told explicitly and implicitly that the person could be taken away, but he could not do anything excessive, and at a certain time, the person had to be sent back.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager also said that if Miss Shen cannot eat this meal, she will feel extremely uncomfortable, so she asked Your Highness to send her back as soon as possible." Nanny Gui continued.

Dong Gong raised his eyebrows: "I understand. You go back to my grandmother and let her rest assured. I will come back with Mu Yin later. It's just right. I haven't had dinner with my grandmother for a long time."

Aunt Gui: "..."

Then I don’t know whether to eat or watch people.

In this situation, Nanny Gui didn't say anything. She just nodded and walked towards the bedroom.

Qin Chuyan didn't stay long and left quietly with Shen Muyin.

The East Palace's carriage was just outside the South Gate. Shen Muyin got on the carriage, accompanied by the East Palace. The carriage slowly headed towards the Xiangshan Villa, neither fast nor slow.

In the carriage, Donggong had prepared a lot of cakes and teas, all of which were Shen Muyin's favorites.
