Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 247 Meeting the Death Row Inmate

It seemed that Donggong knew Shen Muyin's preferences clearly, and Shen Muyin also knew Donggong's preferences clearly.

Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin did not act pretentiously. He lowered his head and ate quietly.

Donggong was watching the memorials from the side and was not idle until the carriage stopped at the backyard of Xiangshan Villa.

Shen Muyin didn’t know this before, but later when she followed the Eastern Palace back, she found out that there was a separate road behind the Xiangshan Villa, which was prepared for the Eastern Palace.

Ordinary people can no longer get close to Xiangshan Mountain once they reach the foot of it.

"Miss Shen, you are here." Magu was waiting for Shen Muyin with a smile.

"Hello, aunt." Shen Muyin greeted politely.

"Okay, okay, I've prepared dinner for you. See if you like it. If not, I'll ask the kitchen to make it again." Magu prepared everything according to Shen Muyin's preferences.

During the whole process, Magu ignored Donggong, and Donggong was used to it.

Everyone in this villa is on Shen Muyin's side. If Shen Muyin rebels one day, I'm afraid I won't have any room for maneuver.

But the look in Donggong's eyes when he looked at Shen Muyin contained a hint of pampering and indulgence, and he was full of joy.

Afterwards, Donggong accompanied Shen Muyin for dinner.

Shen Muyin was surprised when he saw the bamboo shoots.

Bamboo shoots are a food ingredient only found in the south of the Yangtze River and Sichuan. They are hard to find in Kyoto because of the climate and they simply cannot be grown.

But what Shen Muyin saw today were fresh bamboo shoots, which surprised her. Coincidentally, Shen Muyin liked eating bamboo shoots very much.

Magu saw through Shen Muyin's thoughts at a glance and explained with a smile: "Your Highness knows that you like it, so he sent it from Sichuan and Chongqing as fast as he could. It was still very fresh when it arrived. I will ask the kitchen to cook it now. The extra ones are stored in the ice cellar and can be eaten for a few days."

Shen Muyin didn't expect this and was a little surprised.

She looked at Donggong, who was calm: "Bamboo shoots are only available in spring in Kyoto, but they are not as good as those in Sichuan, Chongqing and Jiangnan, so I found someone to deliver them."

"This would be too troublesome. It would be a waste of time and money." Shen Muyin said in a low voice.

Qin Chuyan smiled: "Next time I'll take you to Jiangnan and Sichuan and Chongqing to eat. It should be fresher than today."

"Okay." Shen Muyin responded.

The two were talking, and it was as if there was no thought of this man going off on an expedition for half a year, so they were quiet.

Afterwards, when the two of them had their meal together, Magu had already quietly retreated, not acting as a light bulb at all.

Dong Jin followed the two of them back and went back to the place where the secret guards rested. There was no need for Dong Jin to serve them here.

Fennel stayed in Fengxi Palace and did not come with them. After all, it would take a long time to get to the villa.

After dinner, Qin Chuyan did not hesitate and took Shen Muyin towards the back mountain.

It is almost the Ghost Festival, but the weather in Kyoto has not gotten dark so early. Under such circumstances, Shen Muyin finds it eerie and scary here.

Once we got to the back mountain, we didn't feel any heat at all. Instead, it felt much colder.

There were wolves howling everywhere, and even before you reached the top of the mountain, you could hear the faint sounds of venomous snakes and vultures flying above your head.

After all, Shen Muyin had a very bad impression of this area of ​​the back mountain. At the beginning, she was often frightened by Donggong here.

"Are you still afraid?" Dong Gong raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Muyin calmly.

Shen Muyin remained calm: "After all, I've been hung here before, so it's normal to be afraid."

What's more, Shen Muyin doesn't like these animals, such as snakes. The sticky and slippery feeling makes Shen Muyin feel terrible.

Besides, isn’t that what all vicious people would say?

Thinking about it, Shen Muyin felt his scalp tingling. The closer he got, the more uncomfortable Shen Muyin felt.

"These beasts can save your life at critical moments, so you can't be afraid of them, and you must be able to control them." Dong Gong said lightly.

Shen Muyin stared at Qin Chuyan in astonishment: "You brought me to see the death row inmate just for show, your real purpose is to bring me together with these beasts?"

Donggong is a lunatic, and everyone knows it.

So in this case, it is not impossible for the Eastern Palace to do such a thing.

Shen Muyin took a step back without thinking, and immediately distanced himself from Dong Gong to ensure his safety.

"You have to watch the people, but you also have to learn how to control them. Until you learn, you'll just have to live here." At this time, Donggong had no intention of showing any sympathy to women.

Shen Muyin: "..."

I know that if you ask Donggong to do something, there will be a price to pay.

Could she refuse? No, because she was already here, so it was impossible to refuse.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin felt even more of a headache.

At this moment, Shen Muyin frowned and looked at Donggong, who remained calm: "Are you still not going to see it?"

"I want to go." Shen Muyin gritted his teeth.

She thought, Donggong wouldn't kill herself, right? Donggong would not be willing to do that.

So, a wolf's den is a wolf's den, a snake's cave is a snake's cave, she can't die here, so what is she afraid of.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin became frank.

Then Shen Muyin followed Donggong and walked towards the depths of the back mountain.

There is also a sky prison here. Compared with the one inside the imperial palace, the sky prison here is much more terrifying.

Shen Muyin didn't say anything, and Donggong's voice came in a low voice: "It's a bit cold, the temperature inside is very low."

It was indeed very low. When Shen Muyin entered, he felt a chill that penetrated into his bones in an instant. He couldn't help but shiver.

The next second, a secret guard appeared silently and handed Qin Chuyan a cloak.

In this situation, Qin Chuyan didn't say anything. He took the sable cloak and put it directly on Shen Muyin.

"Don't get cold." Qin Chuyan said lightly.

Shen Muyin felt that Qin Chuyan was exaggerating. Although there were people inside, they couldn't really not survive.

But on the surface, she didn't say anything.

It was not until Qin Chuyan took Shen Muyin towards the depths of the sky prison that Shen Muyin understood why this man did this.

Because everything here is frozen and the temperature is almost zero degrees.

Right in the middle, there was a man locked in a cage, shivering inside, his whole body had turned blue and purple from the cold. In order to prevent him from committing suicide, he was even left without any strength.

It is real, you can neither die nor live.

This is torture, life is worse than death.

Shen Muyin stood in this position, just looking at the people in the sky prison, quietly.

From this position, Shen Muyin could see clearly that Lu Nanhuai's interrogation seemed to be useless.

"He confessed to everything, but it will be extremely difficult for you to get anything out of him." Qin Chuyan took the initiative to explain to Shen Muyin.
