Spring in the East Palace

Shen Muyin's mind went blank and he couldn't utter a word. He could only passively push Qin Chuyan with his hands, trying to get this man away from him.

"Now is not the time. I will keep this account for you." After a long time, Qin Chuyan spoke word by word.

So, why was this account recorded again?

Before Shen Muyin could react, Qin Chuyan grabbed her wrist.

It was powerful enough but not enough to hurt Shen Muyin. Before Shen Muyin even had time to react, he was already close to Qin Chuyan.

Clearly, they looked so affectionate just a moment ago.

But the next moment it became extremely gloomy.

"Wash this face for me." Qin Chuyan said in a cold voice, completely moody.

As soon as she finished speaking, the maidservant outside came in with a basin. Shen Muyin did not dare to provoke this person, so she walked obediently to the bronze mirror and removed all the makeup on her face.

After all, she didn't like it either.

It was not until Shen Muyin washed herself clean and saw herself in the mirror that her ears turned red.

Only then did she notice that her clothes were in disarray, her shoulders were exposed, and her beauty was revealed.

In addition, after being pampered, her face had a light blush, and she looked like someone who was actively seducing others.

This time, Shen Muyin coughed lightly and behaved himself.

"Tell me, what's wrong with that?" Qin Chuyan sneered.

Shen Muyin responded: "I shouldn't be so disheveled, shouldn't be actively seducing Your Highness, and shouldn't be in Lixiang Tower."

She has said everything, so she is not guilty, right?

Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin solemnly: "This king doesn't like to be deceived."

Although this was not stated explicitly, Shen Muyin understood it.

What this person meant was to ask himself why he appeared in Lixianglou.

"Your Highness, I would like to see you?" Shen Muyin found a clumsy and flattering excuse.

Qin Chuyan sneered: "Does this king look stupid?"

Shen Muyin immediately shook her head. This time, she didn't dare to test it: "I accidentally saw Shen Zhenzhen leaving the Shen Mansion, so I was curious and followed him all the way. But I didn't expect to be discovered. In the end, I was forced to flee to Lixiang Tower for refuge. Unexpectedly, something big happened in Lixiang Tower tonight. Your Highness knows what happened later."

This is half true and half false.

This was indeed the reason for leaving the Shen Mansion, but Shen Muyin did not state his purpose clearly.

Qin Chuyan had always known about the dirty work between Shen Zhenzhen and Shen Muyin, so naturally he didn't doubt it too much.

Therefore, this explanation is reasonable for the Eastern Palace.

Instead, Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin calmly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, completely different from the intimacy before.

Is that so? Is the Shen Muyin in front of me really that simple?

"Shen Muyin, don't you know what would happen if an unmarried girl from Yan State left the mansion without permission and was discovered?" Qin Chuyan asked indifferently.

"I know." Shen Muyin said frankly, "Then I will say that it was His Highness who took me away."

It took a long time for her to get close to the Eastern Palace, and she even thought of a way out.

Qin Chuyan was so angry that he laughed: "You are so bold."

Shen Muyin was smart enough to keep silent.

It wasn't that she was bold, but that Qin Chuyan tacitly agreed. Otherwise, even if Shen Muyin was given ten lives, she wouldn't dare to do it.

Qin Chuyan's eyes fell on Shen Muyin again. He lowered his brows as if he was thinking about something. Shen Muyin couldn't guess, so she didn't say anything and just stood there quietly.

Serving the king is like serving a tiger. If you make random guesses, you may end up losing everything.

Qin Chuyan held his forehead with his hand, and the headache came back again. Many scattered fragments appeared in his mind, but he couldn't grasp them.

"Your Highness, do you have a headache because you didn't sleep well?" Shen Muyin asked quietly.

Qin Chuyan hummed and did not deny it. The anger in his eyes was obvious. Shen Muyin was smart enough to stop talking.

Donggong didn't sleep well. Anyone who bumps into him would be seeking death. There's no need for him to be hard on himself.

So Shen Muyin stood quietly beside Qin Chuyan, kneading his forehead with her slender little hands.

Qin Chuyan felt that Shen Muyin had a kind of magic, as if she could make him calm just by being by his side.

Soon, Qin Chuyan calmed down, and the voice of the secret guard came from outside the room: "Your Highness, everything is ready."

As soon as the words fell, the secret guard disappeared silently. Qin Chuyan then looked at Shen Muyin again: "Shen Muyin, I don't like you to lie to me about anything. If I find out that you have lied, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Qin Chuyan emphasized the last four words.

"I dare not." Shen Muyin responded with her head down.

She thought that she was a reborn person, and it shouldn't be considered a lie since she didn't tell Qin Chuyan about this.

After all, this kind of thing sounds horrifying.

"It's best if you don't dare." Qin Chuyan stood up, glanced at Shen Muyin, then turned and walked out.

Shen Muyin was slightly stunned, not knowing what this man was going to do. Should she follow him now or not?

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin hesitated for a moment, and before he could react, the man who had originally walked out suddenly turned back.

This time, the pair of strong hands held Shen Muyin's small hands.

She could feel the rough touch of the man's fingertips on her delicate skin, which were the calluses that came from years of holding the sword and practicing martial arts.

It's a little itchy, but it makes people feel very relieved.

Shen Muyin did not resist and let Qin Chuyan lead her. She didn't even ask where he was taking her.

Because Shen Muyin knew very well that Qin Chuyan would not hurt him.

She followed this man quietly, and this man never let go of Shen Muyin's hand. The secret guards standing beside them kept their eyes on her nose and their noses on her mouth. Everyone looked at the ground consciously and never looked at the two of them.

Only then did Shen Muyin discover that there was an underground space in Lixiang Tower. This underground space was a dungeon, comparable to the sky prison in the palace.

Wang Chaosheng was pressed in the middle of the interrogation table. Qin Chuyan held Shen Muyin's hand and walked towards the main seat.

He flicked his sleeves and sat down with a stern face. Shen Muyin stood quietly beside Qin Chuyan.

But such a scene made Shen Muyin frown after all. The damp and cold feeling, with the bloody breath of death blowing in his face, made him shiver unexpectedly.

Shen Muyin was very familiar with this kind of place.

In her previous life, she was locked up in the dark prison for a long time. After staying in such a place for a long time, she just wanted to commit suicide.

But Shen Muyin didn't have this opportunity. Every time she felt like she was going to die, they would find ways to give her a break and then start a new round of torture.

Wang Chaosheng is an expert in this area.

And now, the person in this place is Wang Chaosheng.

Shen Muyin looked at him expressionlessly, without any pity in her eyes. She had suffered in her last life, and she hoped that Wang Chaosheng could also experience it in this life.
