Spring in the East Palace

Shen Muyin was really tired, and she felt a little sleepy after all this trouble.

So she didn't think much about it, and quickly nodded and walked towards the tent.

When Shen Muyin saw Donggong again, Donggong and Lu Nanhuai were talking about something. Shen Muyin bowed and said, "Your Highness, Lord Lu."

Qin Chuyan looked Shen Muyin up and down. Her shoes were stained with fresh mud and her body had the stench of a rotting corpse, which smelled quite unpleasant when she came in.

But the man didn't say anything, he just asked lazily: "Li Dequan, how many bodies did she bury?"

"Your Highness, Miss Shen buried fifty bodies." Li Dequan said without changing his expression.

This time, Lu Nanhuai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at Shen Muyin, clearly showing his disbelief.

Shen Muyin herself felt that Li Dequan was exaggerating. If it were her, she would not dare to say such a impressive number in front of the Eastern Palace. She didn't know how the Eastern Palace would torture her.

But in this situation, Shen Muyin was shocked.

Li Dequan said that if the Eastern Palace didn't believe it, wouldn't it be him who would be tormented in the end? Now, Shen Muyin was in a bad mood.

"That's quite a lot." Qin Chuyan sneered, surprisingly not making things difficult, "Give her the banknote."

"Yes. I'll do it right away." Li Dequan turned around and retreated.

Lu Nanhuai looked at Shen Muyin with a half-smile: "Miss Shen is really talented. She can bury fifty corpses with this little skill. Those secret guards and imperial guards need to be retrained. They can't even beat a mere woman."

Shen Muyin: "..."

Okay, I'm really speechless.

She lowered her head and stood obediently. She was really afraid that Qin Chuyan would suddenly think of something and continue to torment her.

"Indeed, your guards need to be retrained." Qin Chuyan was not polite at all when he looked at Lu Nanhuai, "People who don't know would think that the guards are protecting the safety of the entire enclosure. People who know know that they are either copying memorials or burying corpses in the middle of the night. They are useless."

As Dong Gong finished speaking, Lu Nanhuai's face instantly turned gloomy.

This time, Lu Nanhuai was directly angered by Donggong and turned around and left Donggong's tent.

Soon, only Shen Muyin and Dong Gong were left facing each other in the tent.

Shen Muyin thought, can she leave then?

Obviously not, because Dong Gong has stood up and walked towards Shen Muyin.

She stood there calmly, her eyes never leaving Dong Gong, peacefully and quietly.

Until Donggong walked up to her and said, "Do you know why I want you to bury the body?"

Dong Gong's words made Shen Muyin stunned for a moment. She really didn't know why Dong Gong wanted to bury the body himself. In Shen Muyin's opinion, Dong Gong probably wanted to torture herself.

Under such circumstances, Donggong sneered and saw through Shen Muyin's thoughts at a glance: "Do you think this king is looking for trouble with you?"

Shen Muyin: "..."

Does Donggong really not have the ability to read minds? Why can Donggong know everything I think?

Suddenly, before Shen Muyin could react, Dong Gong suddenly pulled Shen Muyin into his arms. His voice was very low, but every word was clear.

"Shen Muyin, do you think the paddock is peaceful now?" Dong Gong asked in a deep voice.

Shen Muyin looked through the curtain of the tent. There was really no other sound outside except the singing of birds. Even the sound of the guards walking was very faint.

Anyone would think that everything is peaceful here.

"No." But Qin Chuyan denied it, his eyes became sharp and gloomy, "In such a peaceful environment, there are hidden murderous intentions everywhere."

Shen Muyin thought, what does this have to do with me? There are far fewer people who want to kill her than those who want to kill the East Palace.

"Are these people coming here for Your Highness?" Shen Muyin asked directly.

This time, Dong Gong looked at Shen Muyin with a smile. He pinched Shen Muyin's chin with his slender, bony fingers, half-forcing her to look at him.

What met her face were Dong Gong's deep eyes, which made Shen Muyin dare not breathe, but she did not avoid Dong Gong's gaze and remained quiet.

"Half of the people here are here for you." Qin Chuyan said every word clearly.

Shen Muyin was surprised: "Me?"

How could she deserve the attention of these assassins?

But Shen Muyin could vaguely feel the undercurrents surging around her. She thought it was someone from the Shen family, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.

"I take you with me everywhere. Anyone with a little vision in Kyoto will think that I have feelings for you. So they will approach you wantonly and test your bottom line." Qin Chuyan spoke slowly.

Shen Muyin's face also darkened, but he remained calm.

"So, Your Highness asked me to bury the body in front of these people, to prove that I am also a ruthless person who can remain calm. When they want to attack me, they will be afraid, right?" Shen Muyin reacted quickly.

Qin Chuyan neither denied nor admitted it, but there was always a smile in his eyes when he looked at Shen Muyin.

After all, this is the girl he likes, and Bingxue is smart and understands things, which naturally makes him feel proud.

Shen Muyin suddenly understood what Qin Chuyan said. She looked at Dong Gong in front of her and suddenly felt that Dong Gong was not so deliberate in causing trouble.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin remained quiet and just stood there.

She glanced at Donggong's hand from the corner of her eye, which was still around her waist, and the two of them were very close.

They were clearly having a conversation before, but now the atmosphere suddenly had a hint of ambiguity, making people feel a little overwhelmed.

Subconsciously, Shen Muyin took a step back. After all, being so close to Dong Gong made Shen Muyin feel uneasy.

"Hmm..." Shen Muyin widened his eyes and looked at the man in disbelief.

They were clearly standing before, but now they were pressed down on the soft bed by Dong Gong and were completely wrapped by this man.

Without even giving Shen Muyin any chance to speak, Dong Gong followed with a deep kiss. Subconsciously, Shen Muyin's hand rested on Dong Gong's chest.

In just a moment, the man's big hand wrapped around her small hand and lifted it slightly, and Shen Muyin was completely trapped in it.

Shen Muyin was familiar with this feeling and felt uneasy. She was an innocent girl, but with Qin Chuyan's constant pressure, she more or less understood what all this meant.

She couldn't move her hands and could only let this man do what he wanted.

When his skin touched the air, he felt goose bumps and couldn't help but shiver slightly.

"Relax." Qin Chuyan coaxed in a low voice.
