Spring in the East Palace

Shen Huai looked at Shen Muyin and nodded: "I have already done what my sister asked me to do. The shop has been bought, and the embroiderer and the servants bought at the dock are all settled in the backyard."

Shen Huai put the banknotes in front of Shen Muyin and said, "Here are the remaining banknotes."

Shen Muyin only took part of it and handed the rest to Shen Huai: "This money will be useful if you keep it. There are many things that need to be taken care of."

Shen Huai didn't say anything and accepted it in a low-key manner.

"The embroidery room is temporarily closed. I want the embroiderer to embroider the pattern according to my instructions. I want the double-sided embroidery that the Wen family is good at. As for closing the needles, I will go there myself." Shen Muyin said softly, "After the enclosure is over, I promise that the embroidery room will be famous in Kyoto."

"What should sister do?" Shen Huai was curious.

Shen Muyin was quiet for a moment, but did not hide the truth from Shen Huai: "The paddock in half a month will be an opportunity."

Those who came to the paddock were all princes and sons of Kyoto, important people, and their wives would also appear in the paddock to cheer.

The current emperor's concubines and even the empress dowager will appear.

Shen Muyin wanted to make the Embroidery Room famous, so naturally such an occasion would be the most appropriate. She was the best spokesperson, not to mention that she had the Eastern Palace as her backer.

Shen Huai listened to Shen Muyin's words and nodded: "Sister's wisdom always exceeds my imagination. Sister will definitely succeed."

"Oh, Ah Huai." Shen Muyin suddenly thought of something. "I asked Wei Mian to stay in Beiyuan on weekdays. This way, I can rest assured. Otherwise, someone might have some bad intentions and put Sanniang in danger."

In the previous life, Concubine Liu was ultimately unable to accommodate the second wife.

After Shen Huai pleaded for her and died tragically by the lake, Liu Rushi's fate was predictable. The suspicious Second House thought that they shared the same hatred for the enemy and could not be kept.

The situation is different now, so for safety reasons, Shen Muyin still kept some people behind.

"Also, if the servant you found at the dock is reliable, you can bring him directly into the mansion. I will talk to Butler Wang about it. I will feel more at ease knowing that there is someone with Sanniang." Shen Muyin said in a low voice.

"Thank you, sister." Shen Huai was silent for a moment before speaking softly.

Yes, it has been a long time since someone cared about me like Shen Muyin.

In order to protect himself, he pretended to be crazy and stupid, and was locked up in Beiyuan with his mother, just in the hope that he could leave the Shen Mansion alive one day.

And now Shen Muyin has considered everything carefully for him.

"It should be me and Ahuai who say thank you." Shen Muyin smiled faintly.

Shen Huai was a little dazed, but he quickly calmed down and didn't say anything.

Soon, Shen Huai left Wenxiang Pavilion. Shen Muyin personally saw Shen Huai out. She looked at Wei Mian, who nodded calmly, and then hid in the crowd and followed Shen Huai out calmly.

Shen Muyin didn't send any more.

At least with Wei Mian around, Shen Muyin would feel more at ease.

……

Dong Jin just came back from outside in the afternoon, still unaware of anyone.

Shen Muyin was practicing calligraphy at his desk. Every stroke was firm and steady. It was totally unlike the writing of a girl. His handwriting was extremely steady.

"Miss, your handwriting is comparable to His Highness's." Dong Jin took a look and said, "In Yan State, His Highness' handwriting is the most beautiful, followed by Miss."

After complimenting him, Dong Jin placed the medicine bottle in front of Shen Muyin and said, "I stole the medicine for you. You don't even need to feed it to you. Just turn it into mist and let people inhale it, and they will have hallucinations."

Dong Jin moved closer as he spoke: "When the time comes, whatever the young lady says, Shen Zhenzhen will think she has seen something."

Shen Muyin put down the brush and looked at Dong Jin with raised eyebrows: "So magical?"

"That's not the case. Lord Lu has countless rare things. If Miss likes them, I will steal some for Miss tomorrow." Dong Jin smiled and looked especially cute when he shook his head.

No one would have thought that such a cute baby face could remain so calm when killing people.

"After all, Lord Lu hates trouble the most. Those who fall into the hands of Lord Lu and His Highness are all the traitors in the court. If someone were to cause trouble and submit a memorial saying that Lord Lu had drugged and forced a confession and requested an autopsy, the drugs that were taken would eventually be discovered. This kind of silent one is the best." Dong Jin explained seriously.

Shen Muyin: "..."

No wonder there were so many impeachment memorials in front of the Imperial Study, but no evidence was ever found against Lu Nanhuai.

It's really awesome.

Shen Muyin put the medicine away calmly. She planned to go to the ancestral hall to meet Shen Zhenzhen tonight.

In the last life, Shen Zhenzhen caused a big mess, and in this life, she will repay it a hundredfold.

But Shen Muyin knew better that making Shen Zhenzhen fall into hallucinations was not as simple as just making her lose control.

Instead, she had to find a way to get the information out of Shen Zhenzhen's mouth. It might not be that easy, but how would she know if she didn't try?

After a moment of silence, Shen Muyin didn't say anything. She continued to concentrate on practicing calligraphy on the rice paper, writing page after page.

Dong Jin just stood there quietly, as if he didn't exist at all, which was completely different from his previous noisy self.

……

During dinner, Shen Muyin accompanied Shen Rushuang in the ancestral hall.

After receiving the news, Shen Changsheng and Shen Yan hurried to the ancestral hall. When they saw Shen Muyin, they looked at each other and their attitudes softened a bit.

After all, that person is unpredictable, but the Crown Prince of the East Palace is the real heir to the throne, and the pros and cons of both sides are obvious.

Shen Changsheng happens to be the kind of person who wants to have the best of both worlds.

If he couldn't get to the East Palace, he still had a way out. But what if he got to the East Palace? If that person couldn't beat the East Palace, he could also use Shen Muyin to keep his wealth and glory.

But he couldn't figure out the true situation of the Eastern Palace.

Maybe Shen Muyin is just a pawn of the Eastern Palace, and he came to test it out because he discovered something.

With this thought in mind, Shen Changsheng gradually calmed down. He and Shen Yan looked at each other before greeting Shen Rushuang.

Shen Rushuang was obviously tired, so she just nodded lightly and said nothing.

Li Rong personally added two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and then stood quietly aside without saying anything more.

"Were you with His Highness last night?" Shen Changsheng was silent and asked Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin put down the bowl and chopsticks, but said respectfully: "Yes. My daughter was with His Highness yesterday."

Shen Changsheng pondered for a moment and asked again: "What about you and His Highness?"

Shen Changsheng naturally knew that the Eastern Palace was not interested in women, otherwise, the Eastern Palace would not have been without a crown princess for so many years.

The ministers in the court secretly wanted to send their daughters to the Eastern Palace, but the Eastern Palace refused without giving them any face.

The beauties who were forced into the Eastern Palace by the emperor eventually disappeared without a trace, so much so that no one dares to mention it now.

But now Donggong spent the night with Shen Muyin, and even came early in the morning to testify for Shen Muyin, but it was perjury.
