Tang Yin squinted his eyes, looked directly at Concubine Bin, and said quietly: "Why can't Madam tell the truth? Is there... maybe there is something hidden in it?"
Under his bright gaze, the concubine looked even better, with her head lowered, not even daring to raise her head to look at Tang Yin.
If she had no worries, she might really tell the truth at this time. However, once she tells the truth, she doesn't know whether Mrs. Hua Rong will be finished, but she will definitely die if the news about her affair with Zhong Tian is spread.
Thinking of this, she trembled in excitement, and without daring to hesitate, she hurriedly said: "No, no! There is no hidden secret. Mrs. Hua Rong is indeed the late king's concubine, but she is not favored by the late king."
This is the same story again! This was what Tang Yin suspected the most, not to mention that the changes in the expression on Concubine Bin's face could not be hidden from his eyes. He knew that there must be something wrong with it. He walked step by step.
Concubine Bin came closer, staring straight at her, and said in a sinister tone: "You didn't tell the truth! Madam must have some worries in her heart?!"
The concubine was backed away by Tang Yin's force, her beauty turned pale, and her face turned pale. She shook her head subconsciously and stammered: "No... no..."
Just when Tang Yin was about to ask further questions, someone outside the door suddenly said: "Is Mrs. Mingxiu here? My wife's rouge is out, so I asked my humble daughter to borrow a rouge from Mrs. Mingxiu temporarily."
Hearing the sound, the concubine couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Come closer!"
Following her words, a young palace maid came from outside the door. Tang Yin knew this palace maid, and she was one of Yuan Qianyi's four maids. He frowned secretly, how could he only be with Yuan Qianyi for anything?
How could it be such a coincidence if they were related to each other? This palace maid would not come early or late, but she came at the time when she asked the most. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?!
"Huh? It turns out that Mr. Tang is here too!" When the palace maid saw that Tang Yin was also in the room, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then hurriedly gave her a blessing, and at the same time glanced at Tang Yin and Concubine Bin with ambiguous eyes.
.
Huh! Tang Yin snorted secretly and said nothing.
Concubine Bin quickly returned to the bedroom, searched on the dressing table, took out a lot of rouge, then waved to the little palace maid and said: "Come over and choose a few for yourself!"
"Yes! Mrs. Mingxiu!" the little palace maid agreed, picked up the door curtain and walked in. Accompanied by Concubine Bin, she picked up Rouge.
The little palace maid was talking and laughing with the concubine named Mrs. Mingxiu, and had no intention of leaving for a short time. Tang Yin nodded secretly, knowing that it was impossible to find out anything from this concubine today. He cleared his throat and asked the people in the bedroom
Mrs. Mingxiu said loudly: "Madam, I have to take my leave now."
"Master Tang, go slowly!" Mrs. Mingxiu didn't even say anything to stop her, it was like she was driving away a savage beast.
Tang Yin took a deep breath and strode out of Mrs. Mingxiu's bedroom.
When he got outside, he thought for a moment and decided to leave the palace temporarily. It was not appropriate or appropriate for him to investigate Yuan Qianyi's matter. It was better to let Qiu Zhen handle the matter and investigate Yuan Qianyi's family background and background.
Investigate carefully and thoroughly.
He walked out of the back door of the palace, and the Shangguan brothers waiting outside immediately brought his horse over. Tang Yin took the reins, without saying anything else, got on his horse and waved, "Go back home!"
Tang Yin took Shangguan brothers back to his mansion. After entering the hall, he didn't even sit down. He called a guard and ordered him to find Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan immediately.
Seeing his gloomy expression, the guards did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly.
Not long after, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan arrived one after another. When they arrived at the hall, they looked up and saw Tang Yin sitting on the seat in the middle, his brows furrowed, thoughtful.
The three of them didn't know what was going on. They looked at each other, stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said, "Sir!"
Tang Yin came back to his senses, raised his eyes and glanced at the three of them, waved his hand to signal them all to take their seats, and then waved to the guards on both sides to order them all to go out.
After all the guards left, only Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan and the Shangguan brothers standing behind were left in the hall. At this time, Tang Yinfang slowly spoke and asked: "Gentlemen, what do you think of Mrs. Huarong?
"
Huh? Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan were all stunned. They didn't expect that Tang Yin would suddenly ask this.
Zhang Zhe raised his hands and asked, "I wonder what aspect you are talking about?"
Tang Yin did not answer, but murmured with a deep look: "If I become king in the future, how about making this girl my wife?"
Phew! The three of them almost choked on their own saliva. They looked at each other again. After a long pause, Zhang Zhe couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Mrs. Hua Rong is the late king's concubine."
Although there are precedents for the successor to take the former king's concubine as his own when a monarch dies, it is rare after all, and it is easy to be criticized by others.
Tang Yin shrugged and said disapprovingly: "But I have already promised her." In fact, Tang Yin didn't care whether it was illegal to appoint Yuan Qianyi as his wife or whether he would be criticized. What he really cared about was
It's Yuan Qianyi. He even has a feeling now that Yuan Qianyi is like an invisible big hand in the palace, firmly controlling all the concubines in the palace. If this is true, this woman is too
Terrible.
After listening to what he said, Zhang Zhe blinked and was speechless. Since everyone has made a promise, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore! Strictly speaking, this is not a big deal.
Zong Yuan smiled at the side and said: "Mrs. Hua Rong is peerless in grace and wealth. It is a wise move for you to make her your wife."
Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe glanced at him from the corner of their eyes at the same time, and thought to themselves: What a flattery! They admire Zong Yuan's mind and his ability to see into people's hearts, but this does not mean that they agree with him.
Taste.
Tang Yin smiled and said suspiciously: "But there is something very strange. Mr. Qiu once investigated Mrs. Hua Rong. The result was that she was not favored by the late king, but Mrs. Hua Rong was better in terms of brain, appearance or figure.
There are many other concubines, how could she not be favored? Moreover, her ability to tease men is also very unusual..."
"Cough, cough..." The three of them coughed at the same time. No matter how open the folk customs of Feng Country are, his words were too explicit. Zong Yuan swallowed two mouthfuls of spit, suppressed the cough, and asked in question: "
Your Excellency and Mrs. Hua Rong have already..." He did not dare to continue what he said next.
Tang Yin shook his hand and said slowly: "Mrs. Hua Rong and I are very innocent." Then, he recounted the several times he had contact with Mrs. Hua Rong, including what he had just asked Mrs. Mingxiu about. Because Tang Yin did not deliberately
Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan all blushed at first, but gradually, they all realized that something was wrong.
These three people can be regarded as Tang Yin's chief think tanks. One is smarter than the other, and the city is deeper than the other. After listening to Tang Yin's story, the three people's first feeling was the same as Tang Yin's. They all felt that Mrs. Hua Rong was not what she seemed.
Simple.
Zhang Zhe frowned and analyzed calmly: "If Mrs. Hua Rong is not favored, her relationship with other concubines cannot be very good. In the harem, no lady will have a divorce with an unfavored concubine."
Recently, however, Mrs. Hua Rong was able to get all the concubines to agree that Zhan Ling was fake in the court. This matter was of great importance. Once it was leaked, it would implicate the nine tribes. The concubines and Mrs. Hua Rong would be affected.
How deep of a friendship does one have to be willing to do such a favor for her? This matter is inconsistent."
After Zhang Zhe's analysis, Tang Yin felt enlightened. In the past, he just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain clearly where the problem was. Now after listening to Zhang Zhe's words, he nodded repeatedly, secretly praising that it was reasonable.
, for no reason, how could the concubines risk losing their heads and accuse Zhan Ling of being fake in the court?
Zhang Zhe continued: "Mrs. Hua Rong suggested that you get rid of those concubines. From the perspective of my subordinates, I am afraid that it is not all for the sake of you. It is possible that there is some ulterior secret between her and the concubines.
I want to kill people and silence them, so as to avoid future troubles forever."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded again with a solemn expression. If he didn't think about it carefully, he felt that the matter was reasonable, but after careful analysis, Yuan Qianyi's scheming and government were too deep.
Qiu Zhenzhen said: "There are many doubts about Mrs. Hua Rong. Your Excellency should investigate this person in detail."
Tang Yin raised his head and said, "Master Qiu, it's up to you to handle this matter!"
"Yes! Sir!" Qiu Zhen raised his hand and accepted the order.
Tang Yin explained: "Check out her family background and background. The more detailed the better."
"My subordinate understands."
"Haha!" At this time, Zongyuan actually laughed. Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, and Zhang Zhe were puzzled. They all looked at him and asked, "Why is Mr. Zongyuan laughing?"
Zong Yuan did not dare to talk about Tang Yin, but pointed the finger at Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe, saying: "I think it is Mr. Qiu Zhen and Mr. Zhang Zhe who are a little worried. Even if Mrs. Hua Rong really has some ulterior secrets,
So what can she do? First of all, she is sincerely helping you, and just showing her spirit is a great help to you. From this, we can see that she sincerely hopes that you can become the king. In addition, the harem is complicated, and the history of the dynasties has been complicated.
There are many factions in the harem, which affect the overall situation of the court. If there is a smart, scheming, and skillful lady sitting in the harem and suppressing all the concubines, it will be a blessing for you."
Oh? What he said was something Tang Yin had not thought of. In fact, in his heart, he had already made a plan. There were two candidates for his wife, one was Fan Min and the other was Wu Mei, and these two people had always been at odds with each other.
If they were in the harem together, there would definitely be a lot of trouble. If someone could suppress the two of them, it would save themselves a lot of trouble.
