Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 220 1 Scent of Fragrance

"If there was such a loud noise coming from here, why couldn't the guards outside hear it?" Shen Changsheng questioned Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu was even more confused, as if the world Shen Changsheng saw was different from the world she saw.

This made Concubine Liu even more terrified, so she wondered what she had just seen.

When Concubine Liu tried to explain again, her neck was already grabbed by Shen Changsheng. At this moment, Concubine Liu's expression changed completely: "You...you..."

Concubine Liu had no chance to say the rest.

She saw murderous intent in Shen Changsheng's eyes. This man wanted to kill her.

Shen Changsheng doesn't care about the marital relationship that has lasted for so many years, as this man only has interests in his eyes.

Concubine Liu grabbed Shen Changsheng's hand and tried to struggle. She looked at Shen Yan beside her and tried to beg for mercy, but Shen Yan just stood there indifferently, with no intention of stopping her.

"Go on your journey with peace of mind." Shen Changsheng said indifferently.

When he let go of her hand again, Concubine Liu had already fallen to the ground with her eyes wide open.

Shen Yan walked forward and sniffed the air: "It's gone."

Shen Changsheng nodded. He was calm one second, but became sad the next: "What did the Shen family do wrong? Why did they treat us like this?"

Shen Yan was also crying and calling for his mother. The guards outside then came in. They looked at each other, but no one spoke.

This is the Shen family's business. The East Palace has given instructions and they don't need to interfere.

Soon, the butler came with his servants. Seeing this scene, the butler was shocked.

The last time I saw such a tragedy was the massacre of the 40 members of the Xu family.

The butler knew Shen Changsheng very well, and he understood everything in front of him at once. This time, the butler didn't say anything.

"Hurry up, pack these up for me." The butler ordered in a low voice.

Although the servants were afraid, they moved quickly.

Shen Rushuang's body was already extremely stiff, but it was sent back to the ice coffin as quickly as possible.

The body could not be kept, so it was sent away that night and buried directly in a prepared grave.

If a corpse comes out of the ice coffin during the wake, it is the murder weapon and an evil spirit. Even if it is buried, a dagger will be inserted into the heart and it will never be able to turn over.

Even a person like this doesn't even have a tombstone. It's extremely cruel to prevent her from finding her way home.

The condition of Concubine Liu's body was not much better either. After all, dying in such circumstances was extremely dangerous.

Butler Chen handled it all immediately.

The Shen's house was brightly lit, with people coming and going, just like the night Shen Rushuang left.

Only the Shen family stood there, with their heads down, looking sad, but everyone's expression seemed cruel and calm.

It seemed that everything in front of them was nothing to the Shen family.

Killing is nothing more than a habit and a means.

Shen Muyin stood in the small room and watched the whole scene. She was very quiet and didn't say anything.

"In a few days, I will have someone send you out of the mansion. You go to this place to find Doctor Qiao and ask him to teach you medicine. Don't come to these mansions to work anymore. Do you understand?" Shen Muyin suppressed his emotions and whispered to Xiao Qin'er beside him.

Xiao Qin nodded obediently and said in sign language: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Miss."

"Be careful. Come to me if you have any problems." Shen Muyin smiled at Xiao Qiner.

Xiao Qiner left very quietly, without a sound.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything, and quickly returned to Wenxiang Pavilion along the same route he came, as if he had never been to the ancestral hall before.

Not long after Shen Muyin left, Shen Yan thoroughly checked the entire ancestral hall.

When entering the small room, Shen Yan smelled a faint fragrance, which was completely different from the decadent old man's smell when Shen Rushuang was here.

"Has anyone been here?" Shen Yan asked the servant beside him.

There was such a big commotion in the Shen Mansion, and the servant was already trembling with fear. Without thinking, he shook his head: "No, absolutely not, the servant has been watching outside, and no one has come in."

But this scent still made Shen Yan feel suspicious.

It smelled much more familiar to him, but he couldn't guess where he had smelled it, after all, he had been in and outside the palace for a long time.

Shen Yan also knew that many female relatives liked to apply fragrance on their bodies.

Shen Yan clenched his fists and asked someone to thoroughly check the ancestral hall again. After finding nothing unusual, Shen Yan turned around and left.

Shen Muyin stood in the wing room of Wenxiang Pavilion, watching the hustle and bustle in the ancestral hall opposite with an expressionless face.

Dong Jin couldn't help but give Shen Muyin a thumbs up: "The young lady is really amazing and has a brilliant plan."

Shen Muyin took the opportunity to drag the East Palace into the water and let Concubine Liu guard the mourning hall here.

At that time, Dong Jin didn't understand why Shen Muyin was kind to Concubine Liu. In Dong Jin's opinion, Concubine Liu must be severely punished, instead of just guarding the mourning hall.

Later, Shen Muyin asked Dong Jin to put drugs in Concubine Liu's food. It was a hallucinogenic drug, and Dong Jin suddenly realized what was going on.

Shen Muyin was not kind to Concubine Liu, he just didn't want to keep Concubine Liu at all.

But Shen Muyin couldn't do it herself, so she had to use someone else's knife to kill.

Shen Muyin handed the knife to Shen Changsheng and asked Shen Changsheng to do it himself.

After Shen Muyin caused Concubine Liu to have hallucinations, he could then appear as Shen Rushuang and get words out of Shen Muyin's mouth.

"So the Shen family is also involved with the people of the previous dynasty." Dong Jin snorted, "They are really bold."

Shen Muyin didn't say anything, just stood there quietly.

This is equivalent to confirming his own guess that the people behind the scenes have close ties with the people of the previous dynasty.

Even invading the court of Yan State, what does this mean?

Restore the previous dynasty.

This has happened countless times in history, but rarely has it been successful.

After all, no matter what the people of the previous dynasty thought, their power is no longer there.

But now, this person made Shen Muyin hesitate, because this person's thoughtfulness far exceeded that of anyone else.

This man's meticulous planning might have already been carried out long ago, and the people in the court might have been replaced by this man long ago.

Then even if Donggong had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to extricate himself from this matter.

"If the prince knew, he would never let the Shen family go." Dong Jin continued, but he was a little worried when he looked at Shen Muyin, "But Miss, your identity is probably..."

Shen Muyin was calm: "No one from the Shen family will be touched now. The Shen family is probably just a chess piece in this person's hand, just like Concubine Liu. When the time comes to abandon her, she will be abandoned without hesitation."

As he spoke, Shen Muyin lowered his eyes and clenched his fists slightly.

"Didn't you hear it before? Concubine Liu knows nothing about this man's identity. She only knows that he is from the previous dynasty. Who he is or what role he plays here, Concubine Liu has no idea." Shen Muyin said lightly.
