Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 316 Making a Decision

Donggong's figure kept appearing in her nightmares, and this was the first time in such a long time that she began to miss someone.

If Dong Gong was by her side, would she be able to analyze the situation more calmly?

But Shen Muyin knew better that if she wanted to become someone comparable to the Eastern Palace, then in this situation, Shen Muyin must be independent instead of being led by others.

With such thoughts in mind, Shen Muyin frowned the whole time, and the moonlight outside the window became darker and darker, so dark that it made people feel that a storm was about to come.

……

at the same time--

After Shen Zhenzhen came out of the yamen, he didn't go anywhere. He kept a low profile and avoided everyone. He went directly to a quiet alley in Kyoto.

There is only a large courtyard here, and very few people come here.

When Shen Zhenzhen appeared, the housekeeper also appeared in front of Shen Zhenzhen: "Miss Shen, why did you come here suddenly?"

As he said that, the housekeeper looked at Shen Zhenzhen and was not polite at all: "You know very well that you can't come here without the master's permission."

This is Kyoto, and Shen Zhenzhen is being watched almost everywhere. If she is discovered in this house and investigated by someone with ulterior motives, it will cause a lot of trouble.

It just so happens that the owner is the one who hates trouble the most.

And every time Shen Zhenzhen came, the host would make arrangements in advance to ensure that everything would go well.

The sudden appearance of Shen Zhenzhen naturally surprised the housekeeper. The housekeeper looked at Shen Zhenzhen and had no way to be polite.

"I need to talk to him about something." Shen Zhenzhen's tone became extremely anxious.

Even when he looked at the housekeeper, he had a hint of pleading in his voice: "I know you can definitely contact him. I must see him today."

If it were any other day, Shen Zhenzhen would always need to beg others like this, but now she has to do so.

But Shen Zhenzhen's tricks were of no use to the housekeeper. The housekeeper looked at Shen Zhenzhen calmly and spoke in an especially cold tone.

"I'm sorry Miss Shen, I can't make the decision on this matter. You know me very well. If you make a decision on your own, you will end up dead." The butler said in a formulaic manner.

The serious voice undoubtedly told Shen Zhenzhen what the consequences would be if she made the decision on her own.

Sure enough, Shen Zhenzhen's expression changed.

She was well aware of that man's cruelty, and she shuddered involuntarily when she thought of what had happened before.

The housekeeper continued, "Miss Shen, you should go back early before the master gets angry."

This is the expulsion order.

Shen Zhenzhen bit her lips until she tasted blood on them, and then she left reluctantly.

She really couldn't stay here, it would bring herself unnecessary trouble.

Even if that person gets angry, it will be even less likely for Shen Yan and Shen Changsheng to come out.

But soon, Shen Zhenzhen calmed down. She knew that the Shen family still had a key trump card, and that person would not really stand by and watch her die.

Shen Zhenzhen was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then. I'll go back first."

"I'll have someone send Miss Shen away from here." The butler was polite.

The reason for sending Shen Zhenzhen away was not out of respect, but because he was worried that Shen Zhenzhen would leak the address.

If discovered, even though the owner cannot be traced back, there will still be losses. And in recent times, the owner has suffered too many losses on his left and right arms.

Naturally, the steward could not take any more risks.

Shen Zhenzhen also knew this truth and did not refuse.

Soon, a low-key carriage slowly appeared in front of Shen Zhenzhen. She bent down and got into the car, and the car left leisurely.

But the carriage stopped at an inconspicuous place in Kyoto. Shen Zhenzhen got off the carriage and walked quietly towards the direction of the Shen Mansion.

The carriage turned around immediately without stopping for a second.

At the moment the carriage turned, a tall figure appeared at the corner, standing motionless, but looking extremely gloomy.

The cruelty in his eyes is so fierce that you will shudder if you just take a look at it.

"Master, how are you going to deal with the people from the Shen family?" the servant at the side asked in a low voice.

"Keep it for now. Doesn't the Shen family have a trump card in hand? Before he takes it out, he is qualified to negotiate with me." The man sneered, "But I want to see how long the Shen family can negotiate."

"What about Shen Muyin?" the secret guard continued to ask.

"She is a talented person. Ordinary methods cannot kill her. We should stick to the original plan. So Shen Zhenzhen must be kept." The man said directly.

The secret guard nodded, and then died silently with laughter.

The man was still standing there, with his brows lowered, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Shen Zhenzhen is good-looking and can be considered a beauty in Kyoto, but he kept Shen Zhenzhen because Shen Zhenzhen only has eyes for him.

It is a mindless obedience, never thinking too much.

No matter what happens, he is the first person I think of and the one I ask for help.

She could even let him control her without resisting.

What he wanted was this feeling of submission, not Shen Zhenzhen. But he held that person in his palm, but he could not get this person's true heart.

On the surface, they are together and have deep affection for each other, but he is the only one who knows clearly that the person has never really cared about him, it is just a habit.

So...it's time to make a decision.

There must not be any disobedient people around him, and future troubles must be eliminated forever.

Then, the man turned around and disappeared silently into the crowd and soon disappeared from sight.

……

At that time, Fengdu.

The urgent message from Kyoto, which traveled eight hundred miles, was already in front of the East Palace.

"Miss Shen has been framed for murder, and the evidence is solid. She is now imprisoned in the dungeon of the government office." The guard quickly told the East Palace the news.

Dong Gong's expression changed instantly: "What did you say? Who solved this case? Who did she murder?"

Donggong seemed calm and questioned every word.

The guard did not hide anything and told the whole story to the East Palace. Of course, the guard was not aware of what happened afterwards.

At this moment, Dong Gong, who was usually calm, stood up suddenly. What he was going to do was seen clearly by Lu Nanhuai standing beside him.

Without thinking, Lu Nanhuai had already suppressed Donggong, and then looked at the guard in front of him calmly: "You go down first, there is still progress in this matter, report it immediately."

"Yes." The guard did not dare to hesitate.

Soon, the guards withdrew, leaving only Dong Gong and Lu Nanhuai in the study.

"When did you become so impulsive?" Lu Nanhuai asked Dong Gong calmly, "Do you know what it means for you to go back now? Which of the people and things involved in Fengdu is not more important than love? Do you want to play with the country of Yan in your hands?"
