Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 160 Isolate Her

Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Muyin's mouth slightly raised, a little sweet, but Shen Muyin didn't say anything throughout the whole process.

In this situation, Shen Muyin ate up all the food in front of him.

Fennel didn't clear the table until Shen Muyin finished eating.

She still couldn't help but say, "Miss, His Highness is so kind to you."

Shen Muyin just smiled and said nothing. Huixiang didn't ask any more questions. She packed up her things and asked the servants to take them out. Huixiang then dressed Shen Muyin up.

After everything was ready, they headed to the horse riding competition in the afternoon.

Shen Zhenzhen was naturally present as well. When they arrived at the scene, Shen Changsheng looked at Shen Muyin and said, "You will compete on behalf of Zhenzhen."

This tone is an order, not a negotiation.

Shen Zhenzhen can ride a horse, so she must have signed up early on. However, in her current situation, she cannot ride a horse. But the Shen family cannot be short of one person, so Shen Muyin has to take her place.

When saying this, the people of the Shen family looked at Shen Muyin with ill intentions.

They knew that Shen Muyin couldn't ride a horse, but even if Shen Muyin could, it didn't matter. As long as Shen Muyin got on the horse, they would not let Shen Muyin off easily.

You know, if you fall off a horse, you will be disabled if not dead.

How could they swallow Shen Muyin's humiliation so many times? They must settle the score with Shen Muyin.

What's more, Shen Muyin is so glorious in this paddock.

"The Shen family has already signed up. In Zhenzhen's current situation, it is impossible for her to go to the competition. If the Shen family does not go, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, a capital crime punishable by death for the entire family." Shen Changsheng said with certainty, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because His Highness has feelings for you now. Don't forget that if you don't enter the Eastern Palace, you can't escape if something happens to the Shen family. Even if you enter the Eastern Palace, you are still a member of the Shen family."

Between the lines of Shen Changsheng's words, he tied Shen Muyin and the Shen family together, leaving Shen Muyin no room to struggle.

Shen Muyin lowered his brows and listened quietly.

Oh, she is a member of the Shen family? Isn't this the biggest joke?

She wanted to know, from the beginning to the end, did the Shen family treat her as a member of the Shen family? Maybe she was just a tool of the Shen family.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin sneered silently, but when facing Shen Changsheng, Shen Muyin seemed to be smiling.

"Father, are you sure you want me to go horseback riding?" Shen Muyin asked Shen Changsheng calmly.

"Of course, you must go." Shen Changsheng was very sure.

Shen Changsheng looked at Shen Muyin as he spoke, his eyes becoming even darker: "Shen Muyin, don't play tricks on me."

"How could I play tricks on father? I just reminded father that horse racing is the favorite of the Empress Dowager. In previous years, Princess Fuling won the first place. This year, Princess Fuling is pregnant, so naturally she cannot participate in the competition. But every year, the person who wins the first place in the horse race can enter the palace at any time to be with the Empress Dowager. I remember, isn't this what Zhenzhen wanted?" Shen Muyin asked with a smile.

Shen Zhenzhen tried his best to climb up.

In her previous life, if it hadn’t been for this accident, Shen Zhenzhen would have been the winner of the horse race this year.

Shen Zhenzhen entered the palace smoothly and accompanied the Empress Dowager. Many princes and young men admired Shen Zhenzhen, but even so, Shen Zhenzhen said calmly that she only wanted to stay with the Empress Dowager and serve her.

These words made the Empress Dowager extremely happy, and she even gave Shen Zhenzhen the title of Princess in the end. It is easy to imagine Shen Zhenzhen's ambition.

Shen Changsheng's expression changed after hearing what Shen Muyin said, but he quickly calmed down: "Zhenzhen can't participate in the competition in this state, but the Shen family can't be without anyone, so you go. No matter what the result is, at least the Shen family is not guilty of deceiving the emperor."

"Okay." Shen Muyin smiled, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

On the other side, the groom had already started calling the roll. The daughters of each family changed into riding clothes and walked towards the place where they were to be called.

Shen Muyin followed calmly without bringing anyone with him.

But she had her own thoughts and ideas, and she told Shen Muyin all the clues from the investigation during this period.

The person behind the scenes must know the entire Yan State inside and out, and he must have deep ties with these people in the palace. Otherwise, this person would not have been able to subvert the two largest families in Yan State.

Although she had climbed up the social ladder in the Eastern Palace, she still could not enter the palace at will. Even now, Shen Muyin had only been to the Eastern Palace's villa at most, not the Eastern Palace itself.

If he couldn't enter, Shen Muyin would have no way of knowing a lot of news inside the palace.

So, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to get closer to the imperial palace.

Only then would Shen Muyin agree to this horse racing event.

Shen Muyin was aware of the Shen family's thoughts. The Shen family was certain that he could not ride a horse, so they wanted him to have an accident in this matter.

In this life, many things have gradually changed as Shen Muyin turned the tide.

So the road ahead may be completely different from the previous life, and perhaps we will return to the starting point after going around in circles.

She couldn't take it lightly.

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin gradually calmed down and walked to the place where roll call was being taken.

How could the groom recognize these rich girls? When he saw Shen Muyin, he asked loudly, "Which family are you from and what's your name?"

"The daughter of the Shen family, Shen Zhenzhen." Shen Muyin said calmly.

Reporting Shen Zhenzhen's name certainly did not mean giving the title to Shen Zhenzhen, but letting the Shen family know and letting her impersonate her would not only fail to frame her, but would also make it impossible to clear the Shen family.

But she can get away with it completely.

Oh, after all, she has the East Palace as her backer, so why should she be afraid of these people?

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin lowered his brows and hid his deep meaning.

After Shen Muyin signed up, another groom took Shen Muyin to the stable. The horses had been arranged in advance. After all, each daughter of a wealthy family had her own favorite horses, so this way they could have the greatest certainty.

In addition, since Princess Fuling is not here this year, everyone is ready to go.

"I was wondering who would be so bold as to replace Zhenzhen. It turns out to be the eldest daughter of the Shen family." Zhao Lingling, the daughter of the Zhao family, said bluntly.

Zhao Lingling and Shen Zhenzhen are good friends, and Shen Muyin is very clear about this. In the previous life, Zhao Lingling was Shen Zhenzhen's gun and often embarrassed him outside.

On the contrary, in this life, it is not too late for her to meet Zhao Lingling just now.

Zhao Lingling's horsemanship is comparable to Shen Zhenzhen's, but still slightly inferior. However, it is more than enough to deal with someone like her who can't ride a horse at all.

So even if Shen Zhenzhen doesn't participate in the competition, does he still arrange people to cause trouble for me?

Looking around again, Shen Muyin noticed several rich young ladies who were covering their mouths and laughing. What a coincidence, they were all Shen Zhenzhen's sisters.

She was isolated.
