Spring in the East Palace

This is not a lie.

After dancing, he should have been hungry, but for some reason, Shen Muyin seemed particularly nervous.

I always feel like something is going to happen.

Her mind was racing, thinking about the memories of her previous life.

In her previous life, she left the enclosure and returned to the Shen family, where she was locked up in the woodshed and made to kneel down as punishment because she had brought shame upon the Shen family.

But more or less, Shen Muyin knew what happened in the paddock. There were more assassins in the paddock, but she didn't know the details.

But after this enclosure, Shen Yan unexpectedly entered the Eastern Palace and was highly valued by it.

In the previous life, Shen Muyin was played around by Shen Zhenzhen, and her attention was almost entirely on Shen Zhenzhen. Anything in the outside world had nothing to do with Shen Muyin.

Now that I think about it, something is indeed not right.

Why was Shen Yan suddenly reused by the Eastern Palace? Could it be that——

Shen Muyin's pupils widened, but he quickly hid his emotions.

She understood that in the previous life, assassins appeared in the enclosure. These assassins were targeting the East Palace, and Shen Yan happened to stand in front of the East Palace.

So after this incident, when Shen Yan was injured, so many imperial doctors came to the palace. After Shen Yan recovered from his injury, he skipped several levels and moved directly into the Eastern Palace, becoming the commander of the Eastern Palace's royal guard.

It can almost be said that he is on par with Lu Nanhuai.

But Shen Muyin couldn't understand why Donggong, such a shrewd man, would trust Shen Yan so much.

Or maybe the Eastern Palace was plotting this, or maybe the Eastern Palace really believed Shen Yan's sweet words?

So if history repeats itself tonight, what will she do?

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Muyin's mind, but when everything really happened, Shen Muyin realized that many times, it was just a conditioned reflex and there was no need to think at all.

Just like now.

The dancer who was dancing gracefully suddenly drew out a sword and pointed it directly at Dong Gong.

Screams were heard at the scene and chaos broke out in an instant.

"There's an assassin!" the guards shouted, "Protect His Highness!"

The Imperial Guards were already heading towards the East Palace. Lu Nanhuai rushed over as soon as possible, but the dancer was too close.

The dagger was aimed directly at Dong Gong's heart, clearly aiming to kill him.

Nangong Sheng immediately took Xuan Sujin into his arms. The empresses of various palaces were also protected by the Royal Guards.

The first time Shen Muyin saw the dagger, he pounced on Dong Gong without thinking.

It was an instinctive reflex. Shen Muyin couldn't explain why she did it, but she just did it.

However, Shen Muyin knew that with such a reaction, she would not be able to stop the assassin. The assassin must have received rigorous training. She was just buying time for Donggong.

Shen Muyin found a reasonable excuse for herself. She wanted the support of the Eastern Palace, so nothing could happen to the Eastern Palace.

"Oh my God..." Screams were heard all around.

The moment Shen Muyin stopped the assassin, Qin Chuyan's eyes revealed some depth, but soon turned cruel.

Shen Muyin's action indeed bought Qin Chuyan some time.

The assassin obviously didn't expect someone to rush up so quickly, especially a woman who looked extremely weak.

How could she be faster than the Guards?

But the assassin didn't have more time to react, as the sharp blade in the secret guard's hand was already against the assassin's neck, and the guards rushed forward and pressed the man to the ground.

"Shen Muyin." Qin Chuyan growled.

Shen Muyin looked at Qin Chuyan and smiled, but he was very calm: "It's just a scratch."

Qin Chuyan could tell at a glance that it was not just a scratch. The snow forge was cut, and because of the sharpness of the dagger, Shen Muyin's arm was exposed to the bone.

But Shen Muyin didn't even scream.

Unlike those panicked women at the scene, Shen Muyin now seemed exceptionally calm.

Qin Chuyan just looked at him like this, and for a moment, Shen Muyin really felt that she saw tension and concern in Qin Chuyan's eyes.

Even though it was just a fleeting moment, it really felt like someone cared about me.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin suddenly felt that everything he did today was worth it.

But before Shen Muyin could react, the scene was still in chaos. Qin Chuyan suddenly grabbed Shen Muyin by the waist and picked her up in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in astonishment, and no one dared to say a word.

Even Shen Changsheng and Liu Jieyu were surprised. Shen Yan stood there motionless, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

He never expected that the man wanted him to be an insider in the East Palace in the carefully arranged plan.

He wanted to use this method to make the Eastern Palace officially look at him with new eyes, but he didn't expect that Shen Muyin, a Cheng Yaojin, would appear out of nowhere.

It completely disrupted all his plans.

But unfortunately, he couldn't say anything and could only stand there with his head held high.

Shen Yan had failed repeatedly in the tasks assigned by that person. It was impossible for him not to be panicked, because Shen Yan had seen that person's methods before, and they were extremely chilling.

What came to Shen Yan's ears was Qin Chuyan's gloomy command: "Interrogate him for me."

"Yes." The secret guard responded.

No one dared to say a word and could only watch Qin Chuyan take Shen Muyin away.

And this assassin fell into the hands of the East Palace's secret guards, and he would be in a situation worse than death.

Soon, the assassin was dragged away by the secret guards, and the noise at the scene finally calmed down.

Qin Yue ascended the throne during a time of chaos, so he was not surprised by such situations.

So the scene was cleaned up quickly, and Qin Yue waved his hand: "It's just a small episode, not worth mentioning, my dear ministers, just enjoy it."

Since the current emperor had spoken so, no one dared to say anything more.

Soon, the musicians started playing, and it seemed as if the previous chaos had never happened.

But Qin Yue looked in the direction where Qin Chuyan left without leaving any trace, without any expression.

This was the first time in all these years that Qin Yue saw Qin Chuyan's panicked expression, even though it was just a fleeting moment.

You know, when Qin Chuyan was facing a large army and was outnumbered, he remained arrogant and not at all panicked.

But now he has changed his face for a woman.

So is Shen Muyin really important to Qin Chuyan?

But what Qin Yue knew more clearly was that Qin Chuyan was the future emperor. Emperors are ruthless by nature, and if they were moved by emotions, they would only be controlled by others and become his weak spot.

He didn't mind that Qin Chuyan liked a woman, and even made her his crown prince, regardless of class.

But he would not allow any woman to tie Qin Chuyan down and become his weakness.

After a moment of silence, Qin Yue hid his thoughts very well.

Soon, he looked at the singing and dancing in front of him, but no one noticed that not far away, a pair of deep eyes fell on Qin Chuyan's leaving figure, as if thinking about something.

Is Qin Chuyan interested in Shen Muyin?

After a moment of silence, he withdrew the look without saying a word.

The dinner scene soon returned to its original liveliness.
