Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 155: Climbing the Wall

Dong Jin and Shen Muyin have reached a tacit understanding that Dong Jin knows what Shen Muyin is thinking as long as Shen Muyin gives him a look.

Shen Muyin nodded, and soon, Shen Muyin became quiet. Qin Chuyan had already taken the initiative to ask Lu Nanhuai about the situation in the hunting ground.

"Did anyone who came in get into trouble?" Qin Chuyan asked directly.

Lu Nanhuai thought for a moment and said, "I know that the two sons of the Cheng and Wang families were in trouble. One was chasing a tiger, but was attacked by the tiger. Even if he didn't die, he was disabled. The other was caught in a trap and strangled to death by a poisonous snake. There are others who were injured, but the specific situation will only be known after we go out and settle the accounts."

Qin Chuyan nodded.

It seems that Qin Yue's method worked, at least with the female relatives, their mission is to bring the female relatives out safely.

Therefore, these open and secret struggles have become less direct. After all, everyone is afraid of being implicated in the entire clan.

Shen Muyin was also listening carefully. After hearing the news, Shen Muyin felt relieved.

This means that Zhan Yanxiao is fine and her younger brother is safe.

"But..." Lu Nanhuai suddenly changed his tone and became serious, "The young prince of the Pingxi Palace had an accident."

"What accident?" Shen Muyin spoke first.

This attitude made everyone look at Shen Muyin inexplicably. Probably no one expected Shen Muyin to be so excited. Even Qin Chuyan cast a heavy gaze on Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin coughed lightly and took the initiative to explain: "Because Princess Pingxi and I have a bond, I don't want Princess Pingxi to be stimulated, then the prescription I read before will be useless, and it will implicate me later."

This explanation makes sense.

Indeed, if there was anything unusual about the Princess of Pingxi, the King of Pingxi would never let it go.

Shen Muyin's worries are not unreasonable.

Qin Chuyan just looked at Shen Muyin calmly, but throughout the whole process, Qin Chuyan did not reveal any emotion on his face.

In this situation, Shen Muyin became quiet for a while, and Qin Chuyan remained calm.

Lu Nanhuai took the initiative to explain: "Then Miss Shen, there is no need to worry. The young prince was only slightly injured. After all, he has never been to such a place before. It is inevitable when he comes in for the first time."

Lu Nanhuai unexpectedly mentioned Qin Chuyan's story: "When your highness was young and full of vigor, he came here to chase a lion and almost lost his life, so this is normal."

Shen Muyin raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Qin Chuyan would be in such an embarrassing situation.

Qin Chuyan sneered: "That's better than Lord Lu wanting a hundred-year-old python skin to make a handbag for someone, but it was almost eaten."

Qin Chuyan and Lu Nanhuai were not shy about poking at each other's secrets. Shen Muyin listened and smiled silently.

Dong Jin leaned close to Shen Muyin's ear and spoke calmly: "Miss, you have to get used to it. His Highness and Lord Lu have always been rude to each other."

Shen Muyin nodded.

But she thought that the relationship between Qin Chuyan and Lu Nanhuai was definitely not as simple as that of a monarch and his subject.

But Shen Muyin didn't delve into it further.

It was getting late, so Qin Chuyan and Lu Nanhuai didn't continue to argue and soon returned to the hunting ground from a side path.

Just like Qin Chuyan disappeared silently last night, and no one knew when he came back today.

Today's hunting has ended. Unlike when we came here and needed everyone to gather together, now everyone just needs to take their trophies and return to the outside enclosure.

It would take them another hour or two to get out. When they arrived, Qin Yue and his men were already waiting for their triumphant return.

Tonight's dinner will be held at the gathering place outside, and the horse racing for the women will take place in the afternoon.

This also means that this round of hunting has officially come to an end and the troops will return to Beijing tomorrow.

On the way back, Qin Chuyan was still riding Liefeng, but compared with the speed when he came, it seemed neither fast nor slow.

Shen Muyin was still sitting in front of Qin Chuyan, but the two didn't talk much and were very quiet.

Liefeng led them towards the paddock.

"Do you think that after we go out, will the person who set up the plan reveal any flaws?" Shen Muyin couldn't help but ask Qin Chuyan.

Qin Chuyan was very direct: "No."

Shen Muyin looked up at Qin Chuyan. Qin Chuyan smiled silently, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed Shen Muyin.

But it didn't go deep, it was just a light kiss, and it looked more like Qin Chuyan was teasing Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin was a little angry: "Ride well."

She couldn't help but hit the man's chest. Qin Chuyan groaned, and Shen Muyin became nervous again because she knew that the man was injured.

When Shen Muyin turned around to check, Qin Chuyan's hand had already grabbed Shen Muyin's hand: "I'm just scaring you, ride your horse properly."

Shen Muyin remained silent.

Listen to what this person says. It sounds like he is going to do something to this person, but it is obvious that this person was the one who teased him first and scared him.

But thinking about it, Shen Muyin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. It was a kind of joy, with a hint of sweetness.

Under such circumstances, Qin Chuyan's low voice came to Shen Muyin's ears.

"In the hunting ground, if I lost my life, it was because this person was lucky. If I am still alive, it was also within his expectations. As long as people are prepared, they will appear calm on the surface, and you will not be able to see anything unusual." Qin Chuyan said directly.

This also means that it is impossible for Shen Muyin to find the mastermind among the crowd.

Shen Muyin nodded: "That's right..."

Even Shen Yan hid so deeply, let alone the person behind the scenes, otherwise how could he be safe and sound.

Seeing Shen Muyin quiet, Qin Chuyan suddenly spoke: "Don't act rashly in many things. If you are not absolutely sure, come and ask me, and then consider how to start, understand?"

Shen Muyin said, "I'm back at the Shen family, how can I see you?"

A daughter of the Shen family and a prince of the Eastern Palace want to meet without a reasonable reason, and they will eventually be gossiped about.

But Shen Muyin knew that Qin Chuyan didn't care about these things, she was just trying to make things difficult for him.

Qin Chuyan sneered: "It's not easy to summon you to the palace. Even if I can't find a reason, can't I go find you?"

Qin Chuyan was very good at climbing walls in the dead of night, so how could he stop this man?

Shen Muyin listened to Qin Chuyan's words and laughed softly. When Qin Chuyan heard such laughter, he tightened his arms around Shen Muyin.

But neither of them continued talking until Liefeng led them out of the hunting ground.

The roar of drums outside became deafening, welcoming the victorious warriors back.
