Spring in the East Palace

Qin Chuyan was quiet for a moment, then let go of Shen Muyin and stood with his hands behind his back: "Something happened in Fengdu, I have to go over to deal with it."

A round trip from Kyoto to Fengdu would take at least seven days, plus the time to deal with things, in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Shen Muyin kept repeating the word Fengdu in her heart. She was trying to recall whether there were any accidents in Fengdu in her previous life.

Then Shen Muyin's expression changed slightly.

After Qin Chuyan was assassinated in Wangxiang Tower, there was no news for a long time.

Qin Chuyan did not appear until the Xuanwang Mansion and the Pingxiwang Mansion were in a state of chaos.

During this period, Shen Muyin also vaguely knew that there was trouble in Fengdu, and Qin Chuyan's trip to Fengdu was an incognito visit.

In his previous life, Shen Muyin accidentally heard from the Shen family that Qin Chuyan almost lost his life in Fengdu, which was extremely dangerous.

As for what happened, Shen Muyin had no idea.

At that time, Shen Muyin didn't care about the Eastern Palace at all, and she was even more out of his reach.

Naturally, the people from the Shen family would not care.

With such thoughts, Shen Muyin seemed particularly uneasy.

Qin Chuyan saw Shen Muyin's panic at a glance: "What's wrong with you? I'm just going to Fengdu, why are you so uneasy?"

"Why are you going to Fengdu suddenly?" Shen Muyin looked up at Qin Chuyan.

These words calmed Qin Chuyan down for a moment, and he did not explain immediately.

According to Shen Muyin's understanding of this person, this matter is either extremely confidential or even he cannot tell it.

Either this matter is extremely dangerous and Qin Chuyan doesn't want to worry about it.

But the more this happened, the more nervous Shen Muyin became. She stared at Qin Chuyan, patiently waiting for him to finish his words.

"There's a murder case in Fengdu, involving important officials in the palace, so I have to go there to take a look." Qin Chuyan said calmly, "The envoy from the Western Regions was killed while inspecting Fengdu, and the evidence points to the prime minister of the dynasty. Xiu Da has been following my father to build the country since I was young, and he is definitely not a rebellious person. In the past few decades, Xiu Da has worked diligently for the Yan State, and is highly valued by my father and loved by the people. If something happens to Master Xiu, it will make Kyoto unstable."

Qin Chuyan slowly told the whole story, and Shen Muyin's expression changed.

"No wonder there has been no news about the Prime Minister in the past few days. Everyone in the court told the public that the Prime Minister was ill and recuperating in his mansion." Shen Muyin suddenly realized.

"Yes, this matter has been suppressed by my father, and not many people in the court know about it. But if I don't deal with it clearly, this matter will not be concealed for too long. By then, the court will be in chaos. The court is already not peaceful now. If everyone impeaches, the prime minister will step down, and this position will become a place for military strategists to fight for. When these ministers have their own thoughts, people in the dark will easily invade, and the result can be imagined."

Qin Chuyan analyzed calmly.

"Now that something has happened to the envoys from the Western Regions, external forces are ready to make a move. It is a foregone conclusion that I will lead the troops to the battle. But the chaos here will only distract my attention, which will be a disaster. I have to go on this trip." Qin Chuyan explained the whole story clearly.

Shen Muyin listened quietly. Only now did she realize that such a big commotion had occurred.

In his previous life, Shen Muyin didn't have much memory about anything in the court.

Although Shen Changsheng was the prefect of Beijing, he seldom talked about state affairs in the Shen family.

But Shen Muyin vaguely remembered that when she got into trouble and the Pingxi Palace and Xuan Palace were in a mess, the prime minister had already been replaced.

Who was the prime minister later?

So what does this mean? Shen Muyin's expression changed slightly.

Then Shen Muyin looked up at Qin Chuyan: "What if you fail to handle it?"

"Now that the prime minister has been impeached, the State of Yan must replace him with a new prime minister." Qin Chuyan said directly.

"If we need to replace someone, is there a suitable candidate?" Shen Muyin asked directly.

Qin Chuyan was surprised, but answered truthfully: "I'm not sure. But no matter who the new prime minister is, this position will not be easy to sit in. As I said just now, it will definitely be a threat to the State of Yan."

Shen Muyin nodded, and after a long while, she took a deep breath: "This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems. When you are in Fengdu, you must pay attention to safety. Maybe dragging the Prime Minister into the water is a purpose and also a cover. I am afraid that this person is coming for you, after all, you also went to Fengdu."

And this was the rumor Shen Muyin heard in his previous life, that Qin Chuyan almost lost his life in Fengdu.

But Shen Muyin knew that he couldn't stop her.

This is Qin Chuyan's mission.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin forced himself to calm down.

Instead, Qin Chuyan looked down at Shen Muyin, and then laughed out loud: "Are you worried about me?"

Shen Muyin did not deny it and responded, "Yes."

"Don't worry, you wait for me in Kyoto, I will come back safely." Qin Chuyan gave the assurance.

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded.

She believed in the East Palace and kept her word.

Qin Chuyan was still smiling, and calmly embraced Shen Muyin in his arms. Shen Muyin leaned against Qin Chuyan's chest, quietly.

At this moment, Shen Muyin suddenly saw a figure wearing waiter's clothes out of the corner of his eye, but the next moment, Shen Muyin's face changed.

Because this person is coming for the East Palace.

However, Qin Chuyan was standing in a position where he could not be seen at all.

Qin Chuyan probably wouldn't have thought that someone would replace the waiter and appear in the private room on the third floor.

"Be careful--" Shen Muyin exclaimed.

Then, without thinking, Shen Muyin pushed Dong Gong away. The assassin obviously didn't expect to be discovered by Shen Muyin.

This time, the assassin was quick, accurate and ruthless, and the dagger in his hand rushed towards Shen Muyin quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

Other hidden weapons have also been shot towards the East Palace.

If Shen Muyin was concerned about hidden weapons, he would certainly not be concerned about the dagger. After all, someone was going to get into trouble today.

So no matter how she avoids it, the tragedy of her previous life will happen again.

In this situation, Shen Muyin's brain was cleared, and he subconsciously protected Qin Chuyan.

Qin Chuyan didn't pay attention before and was pushed away by Shen Muyin, so this time, the dagger stabbed into Shen Muyin's back fiercely, and Qin Chuyan's face changed.

Hearing the commotion in the private room, the secret guards outside rushed in immediately.

The assassin was restrained.

“Mu Yin!” Qin Chuyan growled, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he stared at the assassin in front of him viciously, “I want him alive!”

"Yes." The secret guard responded.

The assassin wanted to commit suicide the next moment, but the secret guard was faster and had eliminated any thoughts of suicide on the assassin's part.

"Find a doctor immediately." Qin Chuyan ordered calmly.
