Spring in the East Palace

"Miss, don't take it to heart..." Dong Jin said immediately when he saw Shen Muyin didn't say anything.

Shen Muyin then looked at Dong Jin and flicked her forehead: "Do I look like such a petty person?"

"That's definitely not the case. The young lady must be the most generous and well-educated one." Dong Jin said with a flattering look on his face.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything. He took Dong Jin and Hui Xiang and walked towards the Shen family's location in a low-key manner.

Shen Changsheng saw that Shen Muyin looked unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything.

And today, Shen Zhenzhen naturally couldn't come again. The doctor checked and found that Shen Zhenzhen's knees were hurt because he had been kneeling for seven or eight hours in a row without any rest.

The best thing to do now is to stay in bed and rest to avoid any further problems.

When Shen Zhenzhen knew that she couldn't come, she cried very sadly. No matter how anyone tried to coax her, it was useless, and Concubine Liu was at a loss as to what to do with Shen Zhenzhen.

In this situation, Concubine Liu had no choice but to leave first.

Shen Muyin ignored Shen Changsheng. There was no need to talk any more since they were not on the same page.

She sat quietly in her seat, made herself some tea, and drank it in small sips, completely ignoring the noisy sounds around her.

Shen Muyin felt that as long as he sat here obediently today, there shouldn't be any deviation, right?

By the time the sun sets, she will be able to return to camp.

After all, hunting takes three days and three nights, and they can't stay here for three days and three nights.

There are only imperial doctors, guards, and some officials guarding here to prevent any mistakes.

The real excitement started three days later.

This thought made Shen Muyin feel slightly relieved.

Soon, the sound of drums at the hunting ground became more and more deafening, and all the people who were going to participate in the hunting today came in on horseback one after another.

The person walking in front is Qin Chuyan.

Shen Muyin's eyes naturally fell on Qin Chuyan.

It seems that as long as Dong Gong is around, the people around him instantly become dim, and the man who stands out from the crowd will always be Dong Gong.

The moment Shen Muyin's eyes fell on Dong Gong, the man looked over.

It seemed like he was greeting everyone, but Shen Muyin could clearly feel Qin Chuyan's burning eyes falling on him.

The moment their eyes collided in the air, Shen Muyin's ears felt slightly hot.

I can't tell if it's because of shyness or something else.

But she didn't dodge in the end and looked at the man seriously.

She saw Donggong's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of satisfaction in his smile, and also a determination to win.

Are you determined to win this year's hunt?

But Shen Muyin unexpectedly read other messages from Donggong's eyes. It seemed that this hunt was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, and there were probably undercurrents.

After a moment of silence, Shen Muyin said nothing.

Donggong had already led his men into the center of the enclosure, and the cheers and excitement around them became more obvious.

Shen Muyin took a quick look and found that even Lu Nanhuai had come to the enclosure this time, as well as the sons of many important officials in the court.

Shen Muyin lowered his brows and wondered if that person was among the candidates.

But for some reason, Shen Muyin felt that the person should not be there.

The fact that he had been hiding for so many years was enough to prove that he was extremely cautious. If he was an extremely cautious person, how could he get involved in such a dangerous situation?

If he was careless and paid the price with his life, then all his plans over the years would be completely over.

Shen Muyin knew even more clearly that even if the person behind the scenes was not on the list of people in the enclosure, then this person must have set an ambush here.

There must be killing in the enclosure.

Shen Muyin frowned and looked ahead intently.

She thought that Dong Gong must return safely. After all, she still wanted to climb the high branch of Dong Gong, so how could she let anything happen to Dong Gong.

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin gradually calmed down, and the noise around him also quieted down.

The current emperor's voice came with full energy: "Today is the annual hunting day, and I am even happy. Hunting requires strategy and tactics, and also tests everyone's physical strength and energy. I can select the most suitable talents from them. The soldiers who can be here today are all the pillars of the Yan State in the future. And this year is the same as in previous years. The one who hunts the most will be the winner."

As he spoke, Qin Yue became slightly quiet.

The people around also held their breath, and no one broke the rhythm.

Qin Yue looked at the people at the scene, and then slowly continued: "Of course, I'll say it in advance. Since it's a hunting expedition, you guys sent people here, so you know the rules. No one can know what will happen in these three days. So, the casualties are at your own risk. As long as you can come back safely, the results are secondary. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"We will follow the emperor's orders." There were still loud voices around.

Shen Muyin just listened quietly.

She knew that it was easy for people to get excited in such occasions.

Only when people are truly faced with death will they feel the deepest fear, but by then there is no other choice.

There is a reason why the State of Yan can become increasingly powerful. The soldiers selected in this way are all brave and good at fighting, and will never tolerate anyone who tries to take advantage of the situation.

The most important thing is that the East Palace is also there, which in some ways just encourages morale.

Since the current emperor could send the Eastern Palace away, these court officials naturally had nothing to say.

Shen Muyin calmed down and sat motionless in his seat.

At this moment, Qin Yue, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke again: "But this year, I have added one more rule, which will be a greater test for everyone present."

Qin Yue said calmly, his eyes falling on everyone, and these words made the people at the scene whisper.

Even the soldiers who were ready to go at the entrance of the hunting ground seemed surprised. They looked at each other, but they could not figure out what extra rules the emperor had added.

"Everyone who enters the hunting ground must bring one female relative with them. I'm putting my words here. No matter whether you live or die, you must send the female relatives out safely. Otherwise, your entire clan will be implicated and executed." Qin Yue ordered in a deep voice.

These words instantly silenced everyone at the scene, and Shen Muyin looked at Qin Yue in surprise.

After hearing this request, Shen Muyin suddenly understood what Qin Yue meant.

Every year someone goes in, and every year someone never comes back. Qin Yue naturally understands how this person died.

So after careful consideration, this request was made.

To be more specific, the women at the scene were all rich ladies, and if anything went wrong, it would be really troublesome.

Now, in order to get all these young ladies out safely, it means that none of these soldiers can get into any harm.

This method is good, but Shen Muyin always feels that there is something fishy going on.
