As Tang Yin withdrew himself from the Mrs Huarong's sleeping quarters, his mind would occasionally think of the Mrs Huarong's flawlessly sexy and enchanting body as he walked out of the palace.
In fact, thinking about it, choosing a Mrs Huarong as her wife was not that hard a thing to accept. After all, she didn't want the position of Queen, even if she was annoyed by her in the future, she could just ignore her or find an excuse to kick her out. Maybe Tang Yin himself did not realise, but he had already started to find all sorts of reasons for him to accept the Mrs Huarong.
Before leaving the palace, Tang Yin carefully sized himself up from top to bottom. After confirming that the Official Robe were all in order, he then walked out. At this moment, he was still a foreign official. If news of his relationship with Bin Fei spread, what would happen?
Qiu Zhen and the others who had been waiting outside the palace for a while saw that Tang Yin had finally come out, and gathered together, and asked: "Master, how was it?"
Tang Yin laughed, then waved his hand at Qiu Zhen and the rest, and said: "We will wait outside the palace for a while." As he spoke, he slowly walked back to the carriage with his hands behind his back.
Now that he had come out from the palace, his complexion had calmed down a lot. Although Qiu Zhen and the others did not know what had happened, they still felt as if their hearts had dropped quite a bit. Qiu Zhen quickly caught up to Tang Yin and sat in the carriage as well. Looking at the smiling Tang Yin with squinted eyes, he could not help but ask: "Master, just why did you enter the palace …"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin suddenly thought of something and asked: "Qiu Zhen, I remember you saying that you wanted to investigate the Mrs Huarong, what were the results?"
Who would have thought that he would suddenly ask about this, Qiu Zhen was startled for a moment, and said: "I did send people to investigate, but the Mrs Huarong should be the new concubine, there are many palace maids who didn't know that she was here, and it is just that the Mrs Huarong isn't favored, and the Concubines don't know much about her either."
Not favored? Tang Yin almost laughed out loud. If a woman like Mrs Huarong was not favored, then what kind of woman could be doted on by Zhan Hua? Compared to the other wives, whether it was appearance, size, or scheming, the Mrs Huarong far surpassed them.
It was hard to understand. Tang Yin laughed and shook his head, then asked: "Then... Has Zhong Tian ever touched her before? " As he asked, the scene of Zhong Tian doing whatever he wanted on Mrs Huarong unknowingly surfaced in Tang Yin's mind, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Pu!" After hearing his question, Qiu Zhen almost choked on his own saliva.
No one knew whether or not he had messed up the empress dowager's palace or had any relations with Zhan Hua's Concubine Yi. The one who said that he had meddled with Zhan Hua was only a guess in the hearts of the people, and there was no solid evidence to prove it. Otherwise, with Zhong Tian's identity as a thief, no matter which Concubine Yi was involved with, he would be executed.
Qiu Zhen shook his head like a rattle drum, and said repeatedly: "This subordinate does not know."
Tang Yin casually waved his hands and did not continue asking.
Mrs Huarong's chamber
After Tang Yin left, Mrs Huarong immediately put on her clothes and called his palace maids over. Perhaps it was as Qiu Zhen had asked around, but she was not well-liked, and there were only four palace maids serving her.
Mrs Huarong let the palace maids tidy up her clothes while saying coldly: "Later on, all of you can go and invite all of the palace maids over. I have something to discuss with them."
"Does Madam really plan to help Tang Yin fight for the throne?" A palace maid asked in a low voice.
A cold light flashed in Mrs Huarong's eyes as she asked: "What? Are you insisting on my decision? "
"This subordinate would not dare!" The palace maid quickly lowered her head, changing the subject, and faintly said: "However, Holy King did not say that the Sovereign King of Feng Country would definitely be Tang Yin."
"I have my own decisions to make regarding this matter. There is no need for you to say anything more." Mrs Huarong said with a cold expression.
The palace maid said no more.
Just then, another palace maid took out a red pill from the crevice of her belt and gave it to Mrs Huarong, saying in a low voice: "Madam, eat this first, just in case something happens."
Mrs Huarong wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she decided to take the pill and put it in her mouth. Not long after she swallowed the pill, a layer of white mist suddenly appeared around her body. In the blink of an eye, the mist dispersed into nothingness.
When Mrs Huarong made her move, she had never seen her use so much strength. Her smooth and delicate hand suddenly emitted white mist, and in the blink of an eye, the white mist condensed into a metallic white scale armor that covered her palm. With another flick of her wrist, her spirit armor turned back into spirit mist and gradually disappeared. She turned to the four palace maids and said, "You may go!"
"Yes sir!"
"Yes!" The four palace maids responded in unison, then quickly walked out.
Roughly an incense's time later, Zhan Hua's contestants arrived one after another.
When everyone was gathered, Mrs Huarong smiled sweetly, and said with a voice so sweet that it could drown a person to death: "Sisters, this time little sister has another request!"
Right now, there were no outsiders present. All of the other Concubines looked at her coldly. None of them gave her any face. One of Bin Fei said coldly, "Hua Rong, what are you planning to do this time? "I'm telling you, you shouldn't go too far. We sisters have already helped you conceal your identity, so don't bother us again …"
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Mrs Huarong began to giggle and say: "You have to cover up my identity, that is our exchange, you also don't want the news of the mess between you and Zhong Tian to spread, right?!"
"You …" Her words infuriated and frightened the other Concubines. The Bing Fei who had spoken just now had a distorted appearance and her beautiful face lost color. She quickly walked up to Mrs Huarong and reached out to grab her face, at the same time screaming, "Bitch!"
She was fast, but Mrs Huarong was even faster. She raised her hand leisurely, and with a bang, she grabbed Bin Fei's wrist, and then she raised her other hand. Her palm first released a white mist, and then the mist condensed and formed a white needle that was half a foot long on her fingertip.
This sharp needle was completely condensed from spiritual energy and was of a higher grade than the Spirit Materialization of Weapon. Anyone who could do this would be able to complete the advancement of the Spirit Materialization of Weapon — the Spirit Transformation of Weapon.
The spirit at the tip of Mrs Huarong's finger was aimed at the center of Bin Qi's brows. Even with the distance between them, the sharp light was able to touch the hair at the center of Bin Qi's brows. Bin Fei's body trembled as she was scared witless. She stared blankly at the spirit needle in front of her, unable to react for a long time.
"Only this time!" No matter who it is, if they dare to be disrespectful to me again, I shall take her life! " The smile on Mrs Huarong's face disappeared, the deep cold gaze that she shot was so intense that it could freeze an elephant to death. Under her gaze, the various concubines shuddered, and the bodies that sat on the chairs trembled.
"Go back and sit down!" Mrs Huarong suddenly waved her arm, pushing the guest wife out. She paused for a few seconds and then laughed again. As she flicked her fingers, the needle on her finger disappeared, and then she went over to the table to personally pour tea for the various concubines. She said softly, "Right now, I am on the same boat as my sisters. It was my sister who was rude just now. Sisters, please don't take offense! "
Her change in expression was like the flipping of a book, causing all the other consorts to be stunned for a moment.
After a long while, a middle-aged woman asked, "Hua Rong, why have you called us all here?"
"Elder sister has been in the palace for a long time. Have you heard of Zhan Ling?"
"Zhan Ling?" Bin Fei had a blank look on her face.
"It's the illegitimate daughter Zhan Xiong had with the Maidservant below him."
With her reminder, Bin Fei suddenly exclaimed in understanding and nodded, saying, "That's right, there's indeed Zhan Ling. Why did you suddenly ask about her? Isn't she missing? "
Mrs Huarong laughed and said: "This is the reason why I called all of you to come here. All of you sisters must help me out no matter what." After pausing for a moment, she continued with a smile, "This time, little sister will not let all of you help out for nothing. As long as this matter is done, I will go find Master Tang and let all of you free, and give you all of your lives of wealth."
Everyone's spirits were lifted upon hearing this. The fate of the Consort was tragic. While the Emperor was around, they could still rely on him, and once he was gone, they would lose their backing. They would either be abandoned in the depths of the palace and abandoned, or be chased out by their own king. In their eyes, it was simply unimaginable for them to be able to obtain the bounty and the fiefdom.
"Will Master Tang listen to you?" the various concubines asked in unison when they realized what was going on.
"Of course!" Mrs Huarong said faintly: "Because even if you are helping me in this matter, you are also helping Master Tang!"
"What exactly do you want us to do?"
"…"
Mrs Huarong lowered her voice and narrated everything she had asked of her. In the end, she said confidently, "You just need to do as I tell you. As for the rest of the matters, Master Tang will naturally take care of them."
After hearing her words, the other female guests silently grinned in silence for a long time. After a long while, the older Bin Fei Fang said: "If this matter were to be exposed, it would be … "But they're going to kill the head …"
"I won't!" Mrs Huarong said with a smile: "As long as you do as I say, and don't give up, nothing will happen to you. "Sisters, now is the time to change your fates. Whether it's wealth or hardships, it's all up to you."
Ah? The guests frowned, deep in thought. After a short while, one of the consort finally made her decision. She raised her head and said, "Hua Rong, I'll help you! I hope you can keep your word! "
"Big sister, little sister, I always keep my words."
With someone leading the way, the other Concubines no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
Outside the palace.
Tang Yin was still sitting in the carriage, patiently awaiting for news, it felt like a century had passed. Suddenly, he heard some noises coming from the palace gate, he stuck his head out of the carriage and looked ahead, only to see a palace maid from Mrs Huarong standing behind the palace gate, blocked by many guards.
