Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 130 Opportunities to make money

She resisted the urge to rush up and meet Qiao Suwan, and resisted the urge to tell her everything.

She knew now was not the time.

Qiao Suwan walked towards Shen Muyin and said with a smile, "Miss Shen, come to my place later to have some tea and chat. I happen to have some fabrics that I think are suitable for you, so you can take them back."

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty..." Shen Muyin tried hard to hold back her sobs.

Qiao Suwan nodded and said nothing.

Then Qiao Suwan followed Zhan Yanxiao and left. When leaving, Zhan Yanxiao couldn't help but glance at Shen Muyin.

It’s not just because Shen Muyin is good-looking, but also because Qiao Suwan’s attitude towards Shen Muyin is so different.

But after just one glance, Zhan Yanxiao followed Qiao Suwan and left.

Shen Muyin stood there and didn't react until the two people left.

Her hand was still held by Donggong, but Donggong's eyes turned expressionless when he looked at Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin was passive for a moment, and Qin Chuyan took the initiative to speak: "Have you known Princess Pingxi before?"

"I don't know him." Shen Muyin's heart skipped a beat, but he still answered honestly.

Qin Chuyan didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Muyin calmly. Then, to Shen Muyin's surprise, he took the initiative to talk about the affairs of the Pingxi Palace.

"The Prince of Pingxi's Mansion lost a daughter to fight Xiangsi. This incident has been brooding over by the Princess of Pingxi until now, and she feels it is her responsibility. So over the years, the Prince of Pingxi has been taking the Princess to travel around the State of Yan, and they have been living in Jiangnan most of the time, in order to prevent the Princess from always thinking about the little princess." Qin Chuyan said lightly.

Shen Muyin listened with a worried look on his face.

She had experienced a lifetime, so of course she knew how much the Pingxi Palace could sacrifice for her.

Even in the previous life, when there was so-called irrefutable evidence, they were willing to do it even if it meant offending Prince Xuan's Palace.

In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses.

This kind of longing and love makes Shen Muyin feel unable to repay.

"This is the first time in all these years that I have seen Princess Pingxi have an emotional reaction to someone." Qin Chuyan continued.

But his eyes were fixed on Shen Muyin without blinking. Shen Muyin's heart was beating fast, and she didn't know what this man was thinking.

Before Shen Muyin could react, Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin with a heavy look in his eyes: "So, Shen Muyin, are you hiding something from me?"

"I dare not." Shen Muyin said in a low voice, forcing herself to remain calm.

However, Qin Chuyan looked at Shen Muyin like this for a long time before he said, "It's better this way."

Qin Chuyan could also sense that something was wrong in Shen Muyin's eyes, but since Shen Muyin didn't say it, he couldn't figure it out.

He kept looking at Shen Muyin's face out of the corner of his eye. He still felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he was.

Qin Chuyan calmed down and suppressed his emotions. They had already walked to the back of the enclosure in a low-key manner. Shen Muyin looked at the surrounding environment and felt a chill coming, which was extremely eerie.

This feeling made Shen Muyin feel familiar.

It's just like being in the Heavenly Prison, with such a gloomy and cold feeling that traps you tightly.

It's not just physical torture, but also mental torture.

Shen Muyin frowned slightly and looked towards Donggong. Donggong let go of Shen Muyin's hand only when he walked here, and walked inside calmly.

Shen Muyin hesitated for just a moment, then calmly followed Dong Gong's steps. If Dong Gong didn't want her to go in, he wouldn't have brought her to such a place.

As for what the Eastern Palace was going to do next, Shen Muyin didn't know.

Soon, Shen Muyin followed Qin Chuyan in, and she saw that the environment here was a complete replica of the Heavenly Prison, with bursts of wailing coming from inside.

It was a keen intuition, and she recognized it immediately. This was the assassin who had previously attacked the Eastern Palace. So was he being tortured here to extract a confession?

When the servants saw the East Palace appear, they knelt on the ground and said, "Your servants pay their respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Qin Chuyan waved his hand and walked directly towards the main seat. Shen Muyin hesitated for a moment and quickly followed.

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin stood quietly behind Dong Gong, and when he saw the tortured assassin in front of him, he was indeed the same person as before.

The smell of blood made Shen Muyin feel a little nauseous, but she was generally used to it, so she could still stand there without changing her expression.

"Have you confessed?" Qin Chuyan raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Nanhuai.

Lu Nanhuai's face was not good. "The people behind the scenes were very cautious. They poisoned him, knowing that he couldn't hold out for long. The poison would take effect at a certain time, and he wouldn't confess anything."

Lu Nanhuai sneered as he said, "This guy can't even read, let alone write."

This means that the clue has been cut off, and continuing to dwell on it would just be a waste of time.

Qin Chuyan looked coldly at the dying assassin in front of him and said cruelly, "Just bury him alive."

Lu Nanhuai snorted, and the secret guard beside him walked forward and dragged the assassin out.

Shen Muyin was standing in a position where he could just see the fear in the assassin's eyes.

Yes, who can hear being buried alive and remain calm? It is simply like watching yourself die little by little, without the power to struggle.

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin remained calm, but for some reason, she now had an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness.

Before Shen Muyin could react, Qin Chuyan's eyes suddenly turned to Shen Muyin.

Her heart beat faster, and she felt that whatever Donggong was going to do was directed at her.

This time, Shen Muyin took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?"

Even if I die, I'd rather die clearly than be vague.

Qin Chuyan smiled and said, "Are you scared?"

"Afraid." Shen Muyin admitted honestly.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. I am really afraid of Qin Chuyan's mood swings.

Qin Chuyan was calm and composed, just like a normal person. "Are you short of money?"

Shen Muyin nodded: "No."

Naturally, there is a great shortage of it.

It costs money to open a shop, it costs money to maintain relationships within the Shen Mansion, and it costs even more money to buy the weaving workshop you want.

There is also a series of subsequent things, and every single thing and every single point will cost money, no more, no less.

But now Shen Muyin has just started and is not making any money, and is even losing money.

The fastest way to make money is to wait until Shen Yan's salt dealer takes action, so that she can get the benefits according to the plan.

So when Donggong asked this question, Shen Muyin was not vague at all and nodded honestly.

"I'm giving you a chance to make money, do you want it?" Qin Chuyan asked indifferently.
