Spring in the East Palace

The last time Lu Nanhuai sent Shen Yan all the way down from Xiangshan, Shen Yan still feels scared.

After all, everyone knows Lu Nanhuai's methods, which are a million times more cruel than those of the Ministry of Justice.

"Where did this assassin come from?" Lu Nanhuai asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know. When I saw the assassin, I arrested him immediately, but I didn't expect that the assassin disappeared." Shen Yan lied without changing his expression.

Lu Nanhuai sneered, and Shen Yan was frightened by his laughter, and even Wei Pei felt a tingling sensation on his head.

When Lu Nanhuai smiled, it was like seeing the King of Hell.

In the eyes of the people in the court, Lu Nanhuai would be better off not laughing.

"Someone, throw the person in." Lu Nanhuai said expressionlessly.

The guards outside immediately dragged in a man in black night clothes. The man was already dead, with a corpse.

When Shen Yan and Wei Pei saw it, their faces changed.

Because this person was the one he sent out to frame Shen Muyin, but now he is dead.

"Is this the assassin you are looking for?" Lu Nanhuai asked slowly.

Shen Yan gritted his teeth and struggled for a moment: "I didn't see the assassin's face, but since he's dead, it's probably... After all, I've already seriously injured him before."

"What nonsense." Lu Nanhuai roared with full force.

Shen Yan's face turned pale with fright, and the tent was completely silent.

"Take off his pants." Lu Nanhuai ordered word by word.

The guards stepped forward and immediately stripped off the assassin's trousers, exposing his thick thighs to the air.

Everyone at the scene looked carefully and saw clearly that there was a mark on the man's ankle, which was the mark of the Ministry of Justice.

"This mark represents the assassins of the Ministry of Justice. So, could someone explain to me, my two lords, how could someone from the Ministry of Justice become an assassin? Could it be that the Ministry of Justice is trying to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?" Lu Nanhuai's tone was even more impolite.

Lu Nanhuai was left speechless by Shen Yan and Wei Pei.

They both knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Sir Lu, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and report the truth." Shen Yan's voice was trembling.

You know, if Lu Nanhuai is charged with a crime, his entire clan will be implicated. How could Shen Yan not be afraid?

Wei Pei also knelt down and kowtowed: "I beg Lord Lu to give me a chance. In today's incident, I really didn't know that the assassin was from the Ministry of Justice."

Shen Muyin just stood there and watched. The person who was so arrogant in front of him now became so humble.

It looks both embarrassing and funny.

Shen Muyin didn't show any sympathy at all and was simply watching the joke.

She stood there motionless, watching coldly, without even much emotional reaction.

"Get lost." Lu Nanhuai shouted coldly, "If this matter still has no result before tomorrow, you will be beheaded!"

"Yes, I obey your command." Shen Yan and Wei Pei nodded awkwardly.

Only then did Lu Nanhuai look at Shen Muyin, without even glancing at Shen Zhenzhen.

He raised his hands and bowed: "Sorry to bother you, Miss Shen."

"No." Shen Muyin smiled with a very good attitude.

When Shen Yan stood up, Shen Muyin jokingly said, "Brother, do you want the guards to come in and check? In case there are assassins, I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

This is clearly a provocation.

Shen Yan didn't dare at all.

If he had doubts before, now Shen Yan is certain that the one inside Shen Muyin is the East Palace.

But anyone who dares to so shamelessly expose the fact that the Eastern Palace is here must be really tired of living.

"No need..." Shen Yan said passively, "The assassin has been found, so my sister must be safe here. My sister, go to bed early."

"Okay." Shen Muyin didn't say anything.

After such a long period of commotion outside, Donggong didn't make a sound inside. This was totally unlike Donggong's temper.

When Shen Muyin thought of Dong Gong being injured, she lowered her eyes and was inexplicably worried whether something had really happened to Dong Gong.

Under such circumstances, the corner of Shen Muyin's eyes fell behind the screen.

Lu Nanhuai turned around and left first.

The corpse was naturally dragged out by the Imperial Guards, and Shen Yan and Wei Pei naturally did not dare to stay any longer.

Before leaving, Shen Yan glanced at Shen Zhenzhen. Shen Zhenzhen bit her lip slightly and nodded imperceptibly.

Shen Muyin noticed it, but he didn't show much emotional reaction on the surface.

What? Shen Yan left, and left Shen Muyin behind to find out the situation?

But Shen Muyin still stood there, and only looked at Shen Zhenzhen after everyone had left.

"Zhenzhen should also go to bed early. What happened tonight was too tiring. Fortunately, nothing serious happened." Shen Muyin spoke in a low voice, as if he was still frightened.

Shen Zhenzhen lowered her eyebrows, was quiet for a moment, and said softly: "Sister, I... I'm a little scared, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Shen Muyin looked at Shen Zhenzhen with a smile in his eyes: "So Zhenzhen still wants to go in and see if there is a second assassin hiding inside me?"

She didn't give any face at all and directly exposed Shen Zhenzhen's idea.

This was probably what Shen Yan and Shen Zhenzhen meant when they exchanged glances.

She was trying to guess whether the person inside was from the Eastern Palace. And what she could think of, Shen Yan could also think of.

If the person inside is not from the Eastern Palace, then who could it be? This can only prove that this person is probably closely related to the Eastern Palace.

When Shen Zhenzhen saw him and remembered his face, he would naturally tell Shen Yan, and that person would be in danger.

"Sister, I...I didn't mean that." Shen Zhenzhen's eyes turned red with tears the next moment.

He felt really aggrieved, as if he was threatened by Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin had no patience for Shen Zhenzhen: "How about Zhenzhen come in with me?"

This time, Shen Muyin took the initiative to invite Shen Zhenzhen.

Shen Zhenzhen's scalp was numb from what Shen Muyin said. Finally, she kept silent and shook her head: "No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have made such an unreasonable request. Sister, go to bed early."

After he finished speaking, fearing that Shen Muyin would pull him to do something again, Shen Zhenzhen quickly walked towards his tent.

In an instant, the entire tent fell silent.

Shen Muyin did not hesitate and quickly walked behind the screen. Then Shen Muyin widened his eyes and said nothing.

There was even a moment when she was completely unresponsive.

By the time Shen Muyin reacted, she didn't even have time to cover her eyes, and she saw Donggong clearly.

The man's fair skin was exposed to the air, his back was long and straight, and his black clothes just hung around his waist.

Shen Muyin even had no doubt that as long as Dong Gong stood up, this man would appear in front of him naked.

With such thoughts in mind, Shen Muyin became more and more uneasy.

"Come here." Qin Chuyan's voice came, "Apply the medicine to the wound on my back."
