Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 268 Testing the Real Murderer

But Shen Muyin also found it strange, if the Shen family really just wanted to ruin their reputation in this way.

Now that the goal has been achieved, why do we still need to socialize with this person outside?

Unless there is another purpose.

Or are you waiting for someone?

Shen Muyin was silent for a moment, and suddenly she smelled the scent of sandalwood. She came to her senses almost immediately and thought of the sandalwood scent of the assassin.

It's almost exactly the same as it is now.

So is this assassin still hiding in the crowd?

This thought made Shen Muyin suddenly alert and he looked at the situation around him calmly.

"Brother Yan, Sister Muyin, are you eating here too?" Suddenly, Princess Xuanhe's gentle voice came, and she looked at the two people in front of her with a smile.

Shen Muyin was slightly stunned. He didn't expect it to be Shi Xuan and the Princess.

Princess Xuanhe also had a faint scent of sandalwood on her body, as if she had been stained with it.

Nangong Sheng was standing next to her. It was a very familiar scene, and probably everyone in Kyoto was used to it.

"Why are you here?" Qin Chuyan asked.

"Oh, I wanted to eat the grilled fish here, so I asked Brother Sheng to bring me here." Princess Xuanhe explained with a smile.

"Can't the chef in Prince Xuan's Mansion cook for you?" Qin Chuyan raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

"It's not as delicious as the ones cooked here!" Princess Xuanhe snorted, but she was not afraid of Qin Chuyan.

The two chatted for a few sentences. Nangong Sheng stood quietly beside Princess Xuanhe throughout the whole process. Everyone was used to his silence.

Shen Muyin's attention was unexpectedly on Nangong Sheng, but not deliberately.

She remembered that Nangong Sheng was also injured just now. If she remembered correctly, the wound was on the waist.

So as long as she confirms whether Nangong Sheng has a wound on his waist, she can confirm whether the person just now is Nangong Sheng?

Subconsciously, Shen Muyin looked around, but Lu Nanhuai was not there.

It seemed that when Nangong Sheng and Xuan Sujin were together, Lu Nanhuai was not there most of the time.

But Shen Muyin knew very well that Lu Nanhuai's suspicion was the same as his own.

In this situation, Shen Muyin lowered his brows and his mind worked quickly.

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore." Princess Xuanhe waved her hand and looked at Shen Muyin with a smile, "Sister Muyin, I'll ask you to go shopping together next time. If I don't let you go now, Brother Yan will really make trouble for me later."

Shen Muyin smiled softly: "No."

Then Shen Muyin nodded: "Princess Xuanhe, Lord Nangong, I will leave first."

"Okay, okay." Princess Xuanhe stood in place, very close to Nangong Sheng, nodded and said to Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything. Qin Chuyan nodded and took Shen Muyin away.

Because there were other people around, the two of them were not very close, one in front and one behind.

But Qin Chuyan kept watching Shen Muyin out of the corner of his eyes, fearing that something might have happened to her.

Shen Muyin seemed neither anxious nor impatient, because they were now at the back door of Wangxiang Tower, so the space here seemed much more narrow.

Plus there are steps, so it's really easy to get into an accident if you're not careful.

When Shen Muyin came over, Nangong Sheng made way for him and Shen Muyin nodded in response.

But Shen Muyin could also feel that Nangong Sheng's eyes were shining on him, but it was so slight that you wouldn't notice it if you didn't pay attention.

Shen Muyin remained calm and walked down the stairs.

But when Shen Muyin was facing Nangong Sheng, she inadvertently let herself fall when she stepped on the stairs.

The person closest to Shen Muyin was not Qin Chuyan, but Nangong Sheng.

"Ah..." Shen Muyin exclaimed and subconsciously grabbed Nangong Sheng.

This series of actions seems normal and is just a human instinctive reaction.

There is no ambiguity or intentionality.

Shen Muyin's hand happened to be grabbing Nangong Sheng's waist. She was testing whether Nangong Sheng was injured.

If there was any injury, it would be impossible for him to have no reaction at all under such force.

Shen Muyin wanted to know more whether Nangong Sheng knew martial arts.

Because to the people in Kyoto, Nangong Sheng is just a handsome and elegant young man who doesn't know any martial arts.

The man I just saw had such profound martial arts skills that it was impossible to surpass him.

"Ms. Shen, be careful." Nangong Sheng spoke gently and politely, and then supported Shen Muyin.

But it only took a moment before Nangong Sheng loosened his hand and Shen Muyin had already stood firm.

With such a simple touch, Shen Muyin could not touch Nangong Sheng's wound. At least this man looked calm.

Either he is not injured, or he is hiding too deeply.

Even when Shen Muyin approached, he didn't feel that Nangong Sheng had any martial arts skills, he just looked like a weak scholar.

If she used a little more force, Nangong Sheng might fall down.

So is it really still an illusion?

But every time when the game was just one move away, she could feel it so clearly.

In some cases, Shen Muyin would rather trust his intuition.

But just as Lu Nanhuai and Qin Chuyan meant, if there is no evidence, this statement cannot be made at all.

Soon, Shen Muyin came back to his senses and nodded to Nangong Sheng: "Sorry."

"It's okay." Nangong Sheng remained indifferent.

He was so dull that he didn't want to have any contact with any woman. The only person who was wholeheartedly and happily in front of him was Princess Xuanhe.

Shen Muyin was silent for a moment, but did not stay here for long. He quickly followed Qin Chuyan out.

Dong Gong's carriage was waiting behind. After Shen Muyin got on the carriage, Dong Gong got on the carriage in a low-key manner. The carriage quickly drove away.

After the car left, Nangong Sheng calmly embraced Princess Xuanhe and whispered, "Let's go back too."

"Okay." Princess Xuanhe nodded and smiled gently at Nangong Sheng.

The two of them left Wangxiang Tower one after the other.

After getting in the car, Princess Xuanhe suddenly looked at Nangong Sheng: "Brother Sheng, it was you who wanted to come to Wangxiang Tower for dinner, why did you make me tell Brother Yan that I ate the grilled fish first?"

"Because I've been too busy lately, I haven't had time to accompany you. That's why I asked you to find an excuse to come out so that I can be with you openly." Nangong Sheng looked at Princess Xuanhe gently and explained in a low voice.

Princess Xuanhe let out an "oh" and her mood suddenly improved.

It is true that Nangong Sheng has been very busy recently, and they don’t have as much time to meet as usual.

Xuan Sujin was too embarrassed to pester Nangong Sheng. After all, he would be her husband in the future. He couldn't always be a small figure. He had to move up.

The higher the position, the busier you are.

Prince Xuan's Mansion was also making arrangements for Nangong Sheng, so Xuan Sujin was quite sensible.
