Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 157 Provoking Relationship

Nangong Sheng hummed, his attitude was calm and calm: "I'm glad you're back."

"Are you angry?" Xuan Sujin asked Nangong Sheng.

Nangong Sheng lowered his head and smiled: "Why would I be angry? I just want you to be safe and sound."

The tone was very gentle, and all the previous emotions had been hidden away. He just smiled, and his eyes turned into doting again.

Xuan Sujin was completely unaware and took the initiative to hug Nangong Sheng: "Brother Sheng, you are so good to me."

"If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?" Nangong Sheng coaxed in a low voice.

The two of them became affectionate again, and people around them were no longer surprised.

Only Lu Nanhuai, who was not far away, glanced at them indifferently, then retracted his gaze and calmly returned to the team.

Shen Muyin saw the whole scene. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

This is wrong, it is directed at Nangong Sheng.

She frowned slightly, as if in deep thought.

She thought that if she were Nangong Sheng, she would directly express her unhappiness instead of hiding her emotions so deeply.

This feeling makes people think that Nangong Sheng is indulging Xuan Sujin, as if no matter what Xuan Sujin does, even if it is something that makes him extremely unhappy, he will choose to tolerate it.

But Shen Muyin couldn't tell why, she felt that Nangong Sheng was not that kind of person.

This man is very proud. Although he is now clinging to Prince Xuan's Mansion, he never bows down to anyone, but he is also not arrogant.

This feeling made Shen Muyin feel that he was enduring and biding his time.

But this feeling made Shen Muyin feel absurd. After all, Nangong Sheng was brought back to Prince Xuan's Mansion by Prince Xuan since he was a child, and his birth origin was very simple.

It was a loyal subordinate of Prince Xuan who entrusted his son to him before his death. This subordinate had once saved Prince Xuan, so he sacrificed his own life.

So in this situation, Prince Xuan had no choice but to keep Nangong Sheng by his side as a way of repaying him for saving his life.

Prince Xuan announced to the public that Nangong Sheng was his adopted son, but Nangong Sheng was very sensible and would never bully others or use the name of Prince Xuan's Mansion to do anything wrong for personal gain.

It seems as if he is wholeheartedly devoted to Prince Xuan's Palace.

So what's wrong?

If it was in the previous life, Shen Muyin would never have thought like this, but now thinking about it, it was probably because he had never had any contact with Nangong Sheng.

On the contrary, in this life, she saw Nangong Sheng more and more often, so this intuition became more obvious.

Shen Muyin lowered his brows and calmly withdrew his gaze before Nangong Sheng noticed him.

The next moment, Shen Muyin felt a burning gaze falling on him, with a hint of gloom and disapproval.

At this moment, Shen Muyin couldn't help but stick out her tongue. She didn't expect that such a subtle action of hers would be noticed by the Eastern Palace.

So, has Donggong’s attention always been on me?

Shen Muyin was silent this time and stood there obediently. Dong Jin had also returned to Shen Muyin's side and the two exchanged glances.

When the Shen family saw Dong Jin coming back alive, they were a little bit unbelieving, but they didn't dare to show such emotions too much on the surface.

"Sister, I'm glad you and Dong Jin are back safely." Shen Zhenzhen then looked at the two of them, feeling nervous and worried.

After Shen Zhenzhen knelt for a long time three days ago, he still needs Tao Yao's support when walking. Even with this support, Shen Zhenzhen looks a little shaky when walking.

His face was pale, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was weak.

Shen Muyin smiled and thought that Shen Zhenzhen was just pretending to be a nobody as he had only knelt for a day and it shouldn't be that serious.

After all, in her previous life, Shen Muyin was often punished to kneel for three days and three nights, but she had never been so exaggerated.

This kind of weakness is probably just a show.

Therefore, the person behind Shen Zhenzhen was still at the scene, but he was hiding very well and she couldn't find him in the crowd at all.

"I'm sorry to have made Zhenzhen worried." Shen Muyin said calmly.

"Sister, is it extremely dangerous in the hunting ground?" Shen Zhenzhen asked Shen Muyin naively, as if she was just curious.

Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Muyin seemed much more innocent.

Shen Muyin blinked and said calmly: "I don't know the situation in the hunting grounds. Most of the time, I accompany His Highness to hunt. His Highness never lets me go to places that are too dangerous."

This was half true and half false, but when looking at Shen Zhenzhen, Shen Muyin seemed extremely serious.

"Then are you always with Princess Xuanhe and the others?" Shen Zhenzhen asked curiously.

Shen Muyin was quiet for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

Then when Shen Muyin looked at Shen Zhenzhen again, his eyes were even calmer: "Very rarely. There are many camps in the hunting grounds. Everyone follows others. Which camp to go to depends on where the person finally decides to go. After all, everyone hunts in different directions and has different goals."

Shen Muyin seemed extremely patient and explained everything carefully to Shen Zhenzhen.

Shen Zhenzhen nodded: "That means you and His Highness are inseparable, and Princess Xuanhe is also inseparable from Lord Lu?"

As Shen Zhenzhen spoke, Shen Muyin's eyes fell on Shen Zhenzhen. Her voice was more inquiring, neither salty nor bland: "You seem to be particularly concerned about Princess Xuanhe's affairs?"

This question was understandable. After all, in such a short conversation, Shen Zhenzhen mentioned Princess Xuanhe in every word.

"I didn't mean that, sister. You misunderstood." Shen Zhenzhen was stunned and immediately explained hurriedly.

Shen Muyin's eyes were still calm. He just looked at Shen Zhenzhen seriously, listening curiously to what she could say.

"It's just that Princess Xuanhe is the most prestigious of the women who went in, so I can't help but be curious." Shen Zhenzhen said calmly, "And over the years, I've always heard people say that the hunting grounds are extremely dangerous and there are ferocious beasts at any time. In the past few years, many people have had accidents in there, so I'm asking out of concern."

Shen Zhenzhen gave a reasonable explanation: "Plus, Princess Xuanhe is still the princess of the current dynasty. Not only me, but also these female relatives outside are extremely worried about Princess Xuanhe."

Shen Muyin just listened and nodded, as if he agreed with Shen Zhenzhen's explanation.

"Another reason is that Princess Xuanhe already had a fiancé, but Lord Lu still chose Princess Xuanhe. Everyone felt a little confused." Shen Zhenzhen sighed.

This explanation makes it more obvious.

Shen Muyin listened quietly: "That's the truth."

"Sister, I think Lord Nangong must have been very nervous these days. Although he didn't say a word, he stayed here as long as Princess Xuanhe was in." Shen Zhenzhen said about Nangong Sheng, "It was not until Princess Xuanhe came out that Lord Nangong breathed a sigh of relief."
