Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 227: Waiting for a Long Time

Shen Zhenzhen nodded and said nothing.

However, the uneasiness weighing on their hearts could not be dispelled, but they had no other way out.

"That's right. Our people can't even see the East Palace. At least we need to know big brother's current situation. I will go to that person and beg him, and big brother will definitely be safe." Shen Zhenzhen was trying to comfort Shen Changsheng.

But Shen Zhenzhen was not sure what he meant when he said this.

It was as if after Shen Muyin came back, many things had changed and were long beyond their control.

Even Shen Zhenzhen hadn't seen that person for a long time. No matter how Shen Zhenzhen expressed his longing for him, he was still helpless in this situation.

The man was indifferent.

Shen Zhenzhen said it was impossible for her to not be panicked at all. She really felt that she was being abandoned by this man, just like Concubine Liu was abandoned.

Such thoughts made Shen Zhenzhen feel suffocated, but there was nothing she could do.

Inevitably, Shen Zhenzhen's hatred for Shen Muyin deepened a bit, but on the surface, she still had to maintain the illusion of good sisters.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhenzhen also calmed down. Shen Changsheng didn't say anything, and then the two of them left.

The atmosphere in the Shen Mansion was gloomy and eerie.

……

After three hours' drive, Shen Muyin slowly arrived at the villa in Xiangshan.

When entering the territory of the villa, Shen Muyin already felt the tight security. The Shen family's carriage could travel unimpeded only because she and Dong Jin were there.

Otherwise, I would have been stopped at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, not to mention the embarrassment.

"Ms. Shen, why are you here?" Li Dequan was already waiting at the door, and his tone sounded much more indifferent than usual.

Shen Muyin got out of the car and looked at Li Dequan with a smile: "General Manager Li, I want to see His Highness. My father and sister were very worried when they heard that my eldest brother was captured by the Imperial Guards, so they asked me to ask about His Highness's situation. If it is convenient, please inform him."

Shen Muyin also spoke in a calm and steady manner, and this was meant for the people in the Shen family to hear.

These people are all Shen Changsheng's people, so they will naturally tell Shen Changsheng everything that happened here exactly as it happened.

So she couldn't act familiar, nor unfamiliar, and could only stick to the facts.

Li Dequan nodded and replied, "Please wait here. I will go in and report to His Highness."

"Thank you for your help, Manager Li." Shen Muyin responded calmly.

Dong Jin stood there calmly, watching Shen Muyin and Li Dequan acting. Haha, when will the future crown princess have to be informed when she comes to the villa?

I'm afraid His Highness has been waiting for a long time.

His Highness knew the moment Shen Muyin left the Shen family.

It is because of these people from the Shen family that His Highness has to wait now. I am afraid that His Highness will hold the Shen family responsible for this sooner or later.

After all, the Eastern Palace is famous for being difficult to serve.

To cause trouble to the Eastern Palace is nothing but to seek death for oneself.

But Dong Jin showed no sympathy at all and just stood there with an expressionless face.

Not long after Li Dequan entered, he came out in a pretentious manner: "Miss Shen, His Highness summons you. But except for your two personal maids, no one else is allowed to enter the courtyard. Please forgive me."

The words were spoken slowly but contained an order that could not be refused.

The people from the Shen family looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Muyin acted out her whole act: "Then I'd like to trouble Manager Li to help settle the Shen family."

"Don't worry, Miss Shen, I will naturally take care of it." Li Dequan responded.

They must be settled, and all these people must be locked up in one place. The secret guards will watch them and make it difficult for them to move, let alone get any information.

As for the tacit understanding between Shen Muyin and Li Dequan, Shen Muyin did not say anything, but turned around calmly: "You just wait here for Manager Li's arrangements."

"Yes, Miss." The people in the Shen family could only nod in agreement reluctantly.

After all, this is Xiangshan Villa, they can't do anything. And everyone in Kyoto knows that entering the villa without permission from the East Palace is a dead end.

In this situation, they can only stay where they are.

Shen Muyin ignored these people and walked towards the villa with Dong Jin and Huixiang. The secret guards nearby came out at some point and took all these people away.

After these people left, Li Dequan's attitude immediately changed: "Miss Shen, His Highness is already waiting for you. When you come out of the Shen Mansion, His Highness will know the news."

After the words fell, Li Dequan smiled and said, "Your Highness has been looking forward to Miss Shen's coming."

This was said bluntly, but Shen Muyin's ears turned red. However, Shen Muyin did not show this emotion on the surface.

Li Dequan was not surprised, and Magu was also very warm when she saw Shen Muyin.

"Miss Shen, I have prepared some fabrics for you. Do you like any of them? If so, I will have someone send them to the embroidery room. The Ghost Festival is coming soon, so you can make some clothes." Magu said with a smile, "Also, you can choose the jewelry that was recently tributed. If you like them, I will have someone keep them for you to use."

Magu finished her words in one breath.

The snow satin here in the East Palace is the best, but the East Palace will not want the snow satin in the color that women need.

Now that Shen Muyin is here, the East Palace wants the colors that the female members of the family like. If the concubines in the harem want to get them, they must come after the East Palace.

This is especially true for these jewelries. These good things have been abused by the Eastern Palace and taken for themselves, all prepared for Shen Muyin.

Even if the East Palace said nothing, how could Li Dequan and Magu not know.

Magu's words made Shen Muyin slightly stunned, but she quickly smiled and nodded: "Then I will respectfully obey your command?"

"Okay, okay." Magu smiled, "You go see His Highness first. If you don't go, His Highness will probably go crazy."

The corners of Shen Muyin's mouth rose slightly, but she didn't say anything afterwards. She walked into the villa calmly.

Dong Jin and Hui Xiang stood still consciously and no longer followed Shen Muyin forward.

When Shen Muyin walked into the villa, he saw Donggong lying on the couch with his eyes closed and resting.

Shen Muyin could tell almost at first glance that Donggong had not been resting well recently.

Regarding the recent salt smuggling matter, it is impossible for Donggong to just talk. According to Shen Muyin's understanding of this man, he spends more time doing things himself than talking.

In addition, this person had poor sleep to begin with, and now it’s probably even worse.

So Shen Muyin sighed silently and walked quietly towards the East Palace.

When Shen Muyin approached Donggong, Donggong pulled Shen Muyin in front of him with force, and then he naturally fell asleep with his head on her legs.
