Spring in the East Palace

Qin Chuyan couldn't help but look at Shen Muyin curiously.

Shen Muyin was very calm and did not hide anything from Qin Chuyan: "I think I pinched someone's vitals. This person wants to wipe out the roots."

Qin Chuyan remained calm, and then looked at Shen Muyin quietly: "What are you going to do?"

The assassin in front of him was already dead, and he couldn't get any information from him.

This face was indeed in their records, but Qin Chuyan knew that Shen Muyin would not just let him die.

"Cut off his head and hang it on the city gate." Shen Muyin said it in an extremely cruel way.

Qin Chuyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Muyin calmly. He didn't expect her to do this.

"Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?" Qin Chuyan asked calmly.

"I know. But the other party is desperate, right? If not, just force him out." Shen Muyin was very calm.

Now it's more than just open and covert fighting.

Everything has come to light, and even they know each other's identity, but they just lack evidence.

So what Shen Muyin wants is to force the other party to show his true colors, and then the evidence will appear.

"I won't allow you to send yourself out." Qin Chuyan said directly.

"I know my limits." Shen Muyin was also very persistent.

In some ways, Shen Muyin and Qin Chuyan are the same type of people. When they are determined to do something, they will never give up.

Qin Chuyan's eyes darkened slightly: "You know if you do this, this person will definitely come for you. Even if you are in the other courtyard, assassins can come to your door, let alone you are not in the other courtyard?"

The Shen family's place is even more dangerous.

So Qin Chuyan would never let Shen Muyin take such a risk.

In this situation, Shen Muyin became even calmer: "I want evidence, and you want evidence too, don't you?"

"I will find evidence for the person you suspect, instead of letting you pay the price." Qin Chuyan said word by word.

"Too slow." Shen Muyin refused.

There was a slight stalemate between the two men, and none of the secret guards outside dared to step forward. Everyone looked at each other's noses and mouths, and remained silent.

"My decision cannot be changed." Qin Chuyan said directly.

Shen Muyin said "oh" and didn't take Qin Chuyan's words to heart at all.

Qin Chuyan was furious: "I want to see who dares to listen to you in this courtyard."

After saying that, the man turned and left. It was obvious that he had known the news and rushed back as soon as possible, fearing that something might have gone wrong.

In the end, he and Shen Muyin parted on bad terms.

It was like a lump in his heart, unable to swallow it, but Shen Muyin acted as if nothing had happened.

He didn't take it to heart at all, and the one who was unhappy in the end was Qin Chuyan.

When Dong Gong walked out of the dungeon, he gave a gloomy order: "Without my order, I want to see who dares to take action!"

These words were spoken to the secret guard, who lowered his head and said nothing. It was unclear whether he heard them or not.

Oh, it really is a rebellion.

Qin Chuyan was so angry that he left without looking back this time.

In this situation, Shen Muyin looked at the corpse in front of him very quietly and said lightly: "It's okay, I can do it myself."

The bodies have already been buried, let alone just dismembering them.

Shen Muyin had no expression on his face: "Give me the knife."

The secret guard immediately handed over the knife obediently, but he just handed it over and didn't help. This is reasonable, right?

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Muyin chopped off the assassin's head with a quick, accurate and ruthless move.

The head rolled on the ground and blood was everywhere, which was horrifying to watch.

Shen Muyin had a blank expression on his face and half squatted down.

Li Dequan saw this and said, "Why don't you go up and help? What if the young lady's hands get dirty? The assassin was poisoned just now. If the poison infects the young lady and something happens to her, can you bear the responsibility?"

The secret guard was stunned.

Li Dequan winked at the secret guards: "His Highness asked you not to help the young lady, but the young lady is in danger, and you don't care?"

This made sense, and the secret guard nodded immediately and walked forward without thinking.

"That's right. After all, the corpse is poisoned. You can't let the young lady take the risk. If you don't do it, the young lady will do it on her own initiative." Li Dequan said loudly on the side.

Magu had also walked in: "Miss, it's cold here, I will take you out."

Then Magu looked at the secret guards and said, "Xiaojiu, Xiaoqi, hurry up. Look, the blood here is all black. Deal with it as soon as possible. I will take the young lady back to the palace first. After all, the young lady is frightened."

Soon, Magu took Shen Muyin and walked out of the dungeon.

Shen Muyin couldn't help but laughed softly with his head down. The secret guard who had been motionless before now followed Shen Muyin's request and sent the head out and hung it on the city wall.

Naturally, this task has to be done by the secret guards, so as to declare war on that person silently.

If Shen Muyin did it personally, the news would spread throughout Kyoto before today.

As long as it is exploited by someone with ulterior motives, this matter becomes much more subtle.

That's when things really got out of hand.

And if the East Palace stepped in, and the assassin carried out the assassination in a separate courtyard, then everything would make sense.

The ultimate goal is the same.

Shen Muyin wanted to force that person to show up on his own initiative instead of hiding in the crowd or behind layers of masks.

Ah--

Isn't it a competition of patience? Shen Muyin has never been bad at this.

So Shen Muyin didn’t think much about it. Plus, he was really tired after today’s trouble.

The sky outside was gradually turning white. Shen Muyin didn't hesitate. He fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Muyin slept for a very long time, and when he woke up, it was almost noon.

Magu prepared lunch and personally changed Shen Muyin's clothes. Shen Muyin whispered in thanks: "Aunt, you've worked hard."

"Miss, you are too polite. This is what a servant should do." Magu looked at Shen Muyin with a smile, "After you finish your meal, the carriage will be waiting outside to take you back to the Shen Mansion."

After all, the Ghost Festival is coming soon, and Shen Muyin has been out more often, which is not a good thing.

Especially since Shen Muyin has not yet married and has been gossiped about, the Eastern Palace is reluctant to let her go.

"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded.

Shen Muyin lowered his head and ate quietly, while Magu served him by the side until he finished eating.

Magu personally escorted Shen Muyin out of the villa. When Shen Muyin got on the carriage, Magu suddenly said, "Miss."

"Hmm?" Shen Muyin looked at Magu, "Aunt, do you have something to tell me?"

"That's not it." Magu thought for a moment and then explained, "Don't be angry with His Highness. His Highness is just worried about you. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me and Chief Steward Li to call the secret guards. This is what His Highness tacitly agreed to. It's just that His Highness is a person who needs to find a way out. Next time you see His Highness, find a way out for Him and this matter will be over."
