Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 263 Familiar with Sandalwood

"I just want to follow the young lady." Fennel was very direct. "Besides, if I go out, I will have no family. Where can I go? It is better to stay with the young lady."

"What if there is danger if you follow me?" Shen Muyin asked with a smile.

"Then I will definitely stand in front of the young lady and will not let her get hurt." Fennel said without thinking.

Very simple and cute.

Shen Muyin hasn't seen such a simple person for a long time.

Thinking about the previous life, Fennel was beaten to death because of him, even though it was already too late when Shen Muyin found out.

This is also what Shen Zhenzhen said to him, so Shen Muyin remembered this favor.

In this life, Shen Muyin brought Fennel to his side first.

Even she didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

But now that it has come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

"Hui Xiang." Shen Muyin called Hui Xiang's name, "If something happens, you must leave as soon as I tell you to. Do you understand?"

"Miss..." Fennel looked at Shen Muyin.

"This is an order." Shen Muyin did not allow Hui Xiang to refuse. "You can't protect yourself. If you leave, you won't be a burden to me. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Fennel nodded.

But in Shen Muyin's eyes, Fennel seemed to understand something.

She looked at Shen Muyin cautiously: "Miss, is something going to happen?"

"I don't know." Shen Muyin shook his head and didn't say much.

After all, Shen Muyin knew about everything that had happened so far, except what happened in the previous life.

The rest are Shen Muyin’s guesses, and there is not even any evidence.

In this situation, Shen Muyin couldn't say anything.

Fennel didn't ask any more questions and quietly followed Shen Muyin outside.

The Wangxiang Tower is very large, with many winding corridors in the middle, which is considered a wonder in Kyoto.

Fennel looked at Shen Muyin in a daze, and when she came to her senses she realized that Shen Muyin didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Miss, where are you going? The exit is not here." Fennel reminded Shen Muyin.

"I have some things to do and I want to meet someone." Shen Muyin smiled and did not hide it from Huixiang.

Fennel reacted immediately, looking at Shen Muyin with sudden realization, and then she covered her mouth and laughed: "Are you going to see His Highness?"

Shen Muyin smiled faintly and said nothing, but did not deny it.

Fennel understood and followed Shen Muyin, and was smart enough to keep silent.

The master and servant walked one after the other towards the stairs leading deep into the room.

Shen Muyin calculated based on Qin Chuyan's habits. If this person was really there, he must be on the third floor, and the third floor would not be open to the public.

At least until now, Shen Muyin has not seen anyone go up to the third floor.

Only the waiter would go up occasionally, proving that there were people on the third floor.

Then as long as she goes into the sphere of influence, someone will definitely take her to see Qin Chuyan.

So Shen Muyin was neither anxious nor impatient.

But when Shen Muyin passed the corner, her eyes suddenly darkened and the sharpness in her eyes became obvious.

In an instant, Shen Muyin's body tensed up.

Her mind was working rapidly, thinking about what happened in her previous life, which also happened in Wangxiang Tower.

Also before the Ghost Festival, an assassin broke into Wangxiang Tower, and Donggong happened to be there, and that time, Donggong was injured.

When the news came out, Kyoto was shocked.

After all, Donggong faces so many assassins every day, but he has never been seen injured. In a sense, Donggong is a god-like existence to the people of Yan State.

It was also during that time that everyone realized that something bad could happen in the Eastern Palace.

But no one knew what the situation in the Eastern Palace was like. Shen Muyin thought that it was probably very tragic, so it was kept secret.

Now thinking back carefully, it is true that after the incident at Wangxiang Tower in the previous life, there has been no news from the Eastern Palace.

When he saw Dong Gong again, it was after Shen Muyin was in trouble. That bright yellow figure appeared and rescued him from the abyss of life worse than death.

Even Shen Muyin couldn't see Donggong carefully.

Because at that time, she was already blind and could not see at all.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin's pace inevitably quickened, but she did not forget Fennel behind her.

"You go back first." Shen Muyin said quickly, "The carriages of the Shen Mansion will be replaced by my people. They will take you to the Shen Mansion. You pretend to be me. Don't leave the Wenxiang Pavilion, and don't let anyone know that I haven't come back. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Fennel responded quickly.

Then, without asking any other questions, Fennel turned around and hurriedly walked out of the Wangxiang Tower.

After Huixiang left, Shen Muyin quickly chased after him. The man in black was walking towards the third floor.

So the East Palace must be there.

When Shen Muyin approached, he heard the sound of weapons colliding, very light, but very real.

This is a contest between masters, that's why it happens.

You can kill the enemy without alerting anyone.

She looked over and didn't see the East Palace, but there were two or three guards in plain clothes lying around.

These guards are all experts, otherwise they wouldn't be able to follow the Eastern Palace so quietly.

Then, Shen Muyin's pupils widened because she discovered that this place was not a staircase leading up, but a secret passage that led directly to the third floor.

I'm afraid he would go straight into the side rooms, catching the East Palace off guard.

No one could have imagined that the assassin came in from the secret passage.

Shen Muyin did not act impulsively, because she knew that her face was probably known to everyone in Kyoto.

And this person has been in the dark, and perhaps he is also suspicious of himself. If he makes a noise, then it will be conclusive evidence.

If you have to face an enemy in the dark, you will be trapped step by step and be played around by him.

Shen Muyin lowered his brows, and a sharp blade appeared in his palm.

The next moment, the blade shot towards the opponent quickly, so lightly that it was almost silent.

But the other party turned around at the first moment, as if he had sensed something, and looked in the direction of Shen Muyin with sharp eyes.

Shen Muyin turned around quickly and hid behind a pillar.

But she wasn't sure if the other person saw her.

The pillar was not big, and Shen Muyin was quite slender, so she could fit neatly inside it.

But she couldn't move at all, because the slightest movement would cause unnecessary trouble.

The man in black was gradually approaching, and the closer he got, the more clearly Shen Muyin could smell the scent of sandalwood.

The smell was very familiar, but Shen Muyin couldn't remember it for a moment.

The man in black had already found Shen Muyin quickly. Shen Muyin looked around and realized there was no place to retreat.

It’s not that she couldn’t leave, she just wanted to gamble whether she could see the face of the man in black.
