Spring in the East Palace

Chapter 264 Controlling the Venomous Snake

It’s hard to say why, but it’s a certain emotion that tells Shen Muyin intuitively that this person might be the one she’s looking for.

In the absence of any clues, Shen Muyin could only trust his intuition.

So she waited here, determined to find out what the other person looked like.

Everything around became quiet, as if it had completely held its breath.

Shen Muyin didn't move, and the man in black didn't move either.

The two were in a stalemate.

But gradually, Shen Muyin discovered a cold feeling under her feet. She looked down and her face suddenly changed.

A five-step snake wrapped around her calf and crawled in along her skirt.

That cold and sticky feeling makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.

If it were before, Shen Muyin wouldn’t think too much about it, but during this period of time, no matter Dong Gong was in the villa or not, she had to go for training regularly.

One of her subjects was snake training, so Shen Muyin knew that this five-step snake was being controlled.

The five-step snake is also extremely poisonous. It is rumored that anyone bitten by the snake will die if they take five steps, hence the name.

Even in this situation, Shen Muyin could already feel the snake's sharp teeth coming towards him.

Shen Muyin lowered his head, and the snake's aggressiveness immediately became obvious, showing its temper.

Shen Muyin knew that the man in black wanted to force him out, and it seemed that he didn't want to make any noise.

Suddenly, Shen Muyin understood why Donggong wanted to train the snake himself. Perhaps Donggong knew much more than he did.

After a moment of silence, Shen Muyin calmed down and realized that he was imitating.

A very low sound, imitating a flute.

This was learned by Shen Muyin from a servant of the Xu family when he was still in the Xu family. This servant happened to be able to imitate various sounds.

Shen Muyin only learned the basics, but it is enough for him to control the snake now.

So when the flute sound came out, the snake that was originally spitting out its tongue at Shen Muyin suddenly became confused.

It seems like everything is completely messed up and I don’t know what to do.

When the man in black heard the flute sound, he obviously didn't expect that Shen Muyin could control the snake.

But he didn't have any tools now and didn't know how to imitate any sounds, so he knew very well that this five-step snake would not be able to hold on for long before being controlled by Shen Muyin.

This time, the black-clothed man's eyes became even darker.

He quickly looked at the surroundings. He knew very well that he couldn't make any noise here, as it would not do him any good.

In that quick glance just now, he only saw Xueduan and did not see the man's face.

and so--

The man in black turned around and left without hesitation.

In this situation, Shen Muyin had already controlled the five-step snake with the sound of the flute. The five-step snake crawled away from Shen Muyin's legs and rushed towards the man in black at the fastest speed.

The man in black reacted quickly, and with a wave of his hand, he grabbed the five-step snake's vital point.

But such action ultimately wasted his time.

Shen Muyin made a noise immediately.

She didn't need outsiders to know what was happening here, but she was very clear that if there was any trouble here, Donggong in the private room would definitely notice it.

Donggong's hearing is different from that of ordinary people, and the secret guards following Donggong are even more so.

The chair outside fell down, making a noise. The man in black turned around, took a quick look, and then ran away quickly.

Before Shen Muyin could open his mouth, a tall figure was involved.

She recognized him; this was Lu Nanhuai.

Shen Muyin breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, the voice of the secret guard came to his ear: "Follow him, there is an assassin."

With Lu Nanhuai in front and secret guards behind, Shen Muyin was not worried.

It’s a pity that Shen Muyin still couldn’t see clearly who this person was.

But at least, she didn't lose. Even if this person doubted her, he couldn't be sure that this person was her until he was sure.

Xiao Jiu has also noticed Shen Muyin: "Miss Shen, why are you here?"

"Your Highness is in the private room?" Shen Muyin asked directly.

"Yes." Xiaojiu did not deny it. There was nothing to deny about Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin nodded: "I'll go up in a moment."

Xiaojiu didn't say much, and quickly retreated into the darkness, disappearing without a trace, without stopping Shen Muyin.

Shen Muyin was not in a hurry because she was waiting for Lu Nanhuai to appear in front of her.

After a while, Lu Nanhuai had returned to the vicinity of the secret passage, and Shen Muyin looked at Lu Nanhuai steadily.

"Did Lord Lu see it?" Shen Muyin did not avoid the question and asked directly.

Lu Nanhuai's eyes fell on Shen Muyin: "No."

Shen Muyin nodded: "Yes, the other party is extremely cunning and can easily know what we are going to do next. Naturally, we will not discover their true colors so easily."

"You've learned to control the snake well." Lu Nanhuai smiled faintly, as a compliment.

Indeed, it is not an easy task to learn to control a snake in such a short time.

But Shen Muyin did it easily.

The most important thing is that at this time, she can still handle the matter calmly.

"Can you imitate sounds?" Lu Nanhuai asked casually.

"I've learned it before, but I only learned how to play a musical instrument. I don't know much else. It just so happens that the sound of the flute is used to control the snake, so I was just lucky today." Shen Muyin told the truth.

Lu Nanhuai nodded, and stood with his hands behind his back: "Go up, Your Highness is upstairs."

"Thank you, Lord Lu." Shen Muyin responded.

Obviously, things in the previous life have changed here, so Shen Muyin has nothing to say.

Many things are too complicated to explain.

Shen Muyin was very clear about this very early on.

She suppressed her emotions and quietly followed Lu Nanhuai towards the private room on the third floor.

"The people who built Wangxiang Tower are from the Qin family, so they left a secret passage just in case." Lu Nanhuai suddenly spoke.

Shen Muyin looked at Lu Nanhuai again: "Who knows this secret passage?"

Obviously, the man in black just now knew it clearly. If it weren't for him, Cheng Yaojin, something might have happened in the East Palace.

Thinking of this, Shen Muyin felt a chill coming over him.

"The Qin family, Prince Xuan's Palace and Prince Pingxi's Palace." Lu Nanhuai did not hide anything.

These words made Shen Muyin stunned for a moment.

Because her idea was simple. If this secret passage was just like the secret passage in the other courtyard, and very few people knew about it, then it would be easy to deduce.

And now, the people who happen to know are all Qin family’s confidants.

Shen Muyin never doubted the relationship between Prince Xuan's Mansion and Prince Pingxi's Mansion. After all, she knew their relationship better than anyone else.

but--

Suddenly, Shen Muyin looked at Lu Nanhuai.

Lu Nanhuai did not avoid Shen Muyin's gaze, and said calmly: "There is no evidence, Miss Shen has to swallow what she wants to say. It is not a good thing to cause a chain reaction."
