Tang Yin squinted his eyes, looking straight at Bin Fei, and said faintly: "Why can't Madame tell me the truth, could it be … Is there something more to it? "
Under his bright gaze, that Bin Fei looked even more like she had good hands and feet, with her head lowered, she didn't even dare to raise her head to look at Tang Yin.
If she did not have any worries, she would have told him the truth, but, if she told him the truth, Mrs Huarong would be dead. She did not know whether or not she would be done for, but if news of her relationship with Zhong Tian spread, she would definitely die. Thinking up to here, she shivered. Not daring to hesitate any longer, she hurriedly said, "No, no! There's nothing to hide, Mrs Huarong is indeed Former King's Concubine, it's just that Former King cannot pamper her. "
It was another set of words! This was what Tang Yin suspected the most. Moreover, how could the change in expression on Bin Fei's face be hidden from his eyes? He knew that there was definitely something fishy about it. He walked step by step until he was right in front of Bin Fei, his eyes fixed on her. Then he said with a sinister tone, "You're not telling the truth! Madam must have some worries in her heart, right?! "
The Bin Fei Fei who was pushed back by Tang Yin's mother, turned pale and paled. He subconsciously shook his head and stuttered, "No … "No …"
Just as Tang Yin was about to interrogate further, someone suddenly spoke out from outside. "Is Lady Mingxiu here? My wife's rouge has been used up, so I've asked my humble daughter to temporarily borrow it from Lady Mingxiu. "
Hearing that, Bin Fei could not help but let out a long sigh of relief, and replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes! "Why don't you come along!"
As she spoke, she saw a young palace maid that Tang Yin recognized. She was one of Yuan Qianyi's four maids. He frowned. Why would it become like this whenever he had a relationship with Yuan Qianyi? This palace maid did not come earlier or later, and just happened to come at the most critical moment of his questioning. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?!
"Huh?" So it turns out that Master Tang is also here! " When the palace maid saw that Tang Yin was also in the room, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she hurriedly paid her respects, and at the same time, swept her dubious gaze across Tang Yin and Bin Fei.
Humph! Tang Yin secretly snorted, and did not say a word.
Bin Fei quickly returned to her bedroom and took out a large pile of rouge from her dressing table. She waved at the young palace maid and said, "Come over here and choose a few for yourself!"
"Yes!" "Lady Mingxiu!" "Yes," the little palace maid agreed, then walked in through the curtain, accompanied by the Consort of Bin Qi, to stir up the rouge.
Tang Yin nodded to himself. He knew that it was already impossible for him to get any information from this Concubine Bin Qi today, so he cleared his throat and said loudly to the Lady Mingxiu in the dorm, "Madam, this official will take his leave first."
"Take care, Master Tang!" Mingxiu didn't even say a word of urging her to stay. It was as if she was chasing away a ferocious beast.
Tang Yin took a deep breath and walked out of Lady Mingxiu's chamber with large strides.
As for the matter with Yuan Qianyi, it was not appropriate for him to investigate it personally, and it was also not appropriate. She might as well let Qiu Zhen handle this matter, and carefully investigate into Yuan Qianyi's family background and background.
He walked out of the palace through the back door, and Brother Shangguan who was waiting outside immediately brought his horse over. Tang Yin took the reins, and without saying anything further, he mounted the horse and waved: "Return to the residence!"
Tang Yin brought Brother Shangguan back to his own residence. After entering the great hall, he did not even sit down. Instead, he called for a guard and immediately called for Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan.
Seeing the other party's gloomy expression, the guard didn't dare to delay any further. He hurriedly replied and rushed out.
Not long after, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan arrived one after another. When they arrived at the great hall, they saw Tang Yin sitting at the center of the hall with his brows knitted tight, as if he had thought about something.
The three of them did not know what had happened. They looked at each other, walked forward, bowed, and said, "Sir!"
Tang Yin regained his senses, looked at the three of them and waved them all to take their seats. Then, he waved to the guards on both sides of the hall, instructing them to leave.
After the guards had all left, the only people left in the hall were Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan and Brother Shangguan who were standing behind them. At this time, Tang Yin slowly opened his mouth and asked: "Gentlemen, what do you think of Mrs Huarong?"
Ah? Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan were all startled, they did not expect Tang Yin to suddenly ask this.
Zhang Zhe cupped his hands and asked: "May I know which aspect Master is talking about?"
Tang Yin did not answer, his gaze deep and serene as he muttered: "If I become king in the future, what about taking this woman as Madam?"
"Pu!" The three of them almost choked on their own saliva, and looked at each other in dismay once again. After pausing for a good while, Zhang Zhe could not help but remind them in a low voice: "Mrs Huarong is Former King's Bin Fei."
Although there was a precedent for the successor to take in the Former King's Bin Fei as his own consort after the death of the ruler, it was still rarely seen.
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly: "But I have already promised her." In truth, Tang Yin did not really care whether what Yuan Qianyi said was impolite, or whether she would be criticized. What Tang Yin truly cared about was Yuan Qianyi, and he had the feeling that Yuan Qianyi was like an invisible hand in the palace, controlling even the Concubine Yi in the palace. If that was really the case, then this woman was too terrifying.
After hearing what he had to say, Zhang Zhe blinked and was speechless. Since he had already promised him, there was no need for him to discuss it! Strictly speaking, this was not a big deal.
Zong Yuan laughed by the side, and said: "Mrs Huarong's charm is peerless, and she also has a look of wealth, it is wise for Master to take her as his wife."
Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe glanced at him from the corner of their eyes at the same time, and thought to themselves: How flattering! The two of them really admired Zong Yuan's brain and his ability to see through people's hearts, but this did not mean that the two of them agreed with his character.
Tang Yin laughed, then said suspiciously: "But there is one thing that is strange, Master Qiu had investigated on Mrs Huarong before, and the result is that she is not someone that Former King doted on. However, whether it is head, looks or body, Mrs Huarong is much better than other Binfei, how can she not be? "Moreover, her ability to seduce men is also very unusual …"
"Cough, cough …" The three of them started coughing at the same time. No matter how open Feng Country was, his words were too explicit. Zong Yuan swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva consecutively, suppressing the cough, and asked: "My Lord and Mrs Huarong has already …" He did not dare to continue with these words.
Tang Yin shook his hands and said slowly: "Mrs Huarong and I are very innocent." Afterwards, he explained everything that happened between him and the Mrs Huarong, including what he had asked Lady Mingxiu. Since Tang Yin did not deliberately avoid the topic, and had also mentioned some things that he and Yuan Qianyi had intimate relations with each other, the three people including Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan flushed red to the point that their ears had reddened when they initially heard about it.
Each of them was smarter than the other, and the shrewdness of the city was also deeper than the other. After listening to Tang Yin's explanation, the three of them had the same first impression as Tang Yin, and felt that the Mrs Huarong was not as simple as it seemed.
Zhang Zhe frowned, and continued to analyze the situation calmly: "If the Mrs Huarong is not favoured, her relationship with the other Binfei will not be good. In the imperial harem, there is no lady who would go too close with the unfavoured Bin Fei, but the Mrs Huarong can make all the other concubines agree that it is a fake and all the people in the imperial court can recognize Zhan Ling as fake. This matter is of great importance, if it was leaked out, it would implicate the entire Nine Clans. This matter is not consistent. "
After listening to Zhang Zhe's analysis, Tang Yin felt that something was amiss. Previously, he only felt that something was amiss, but he could not pinpoint where the problem was, but now that he finished listening to Zhang Zhe's words, he nodded his head repeatedly, praising the logic behind it. For no reason at all, why would the other people take the risk of losing their heads to point out Zhan Ling to him?
Zhang Zhe continued to speak: "Mrs Huarong's suggestion for Master to get rid of those Concubines, for this subordinate's perspective, is not all for Master's sake, it is very likely that there is some secret between her and the other Concubines, and wants to silence them, so as to prevent any future troubles."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded again with a serious expression. Without thinking too much, he felt that this matter was reasonable, but after careful analysis, he found out that this Yuan Qianyi was way too scheming and shrewd.
Qiu Zhen said in a serious tone: "There are many doubts on Mrs Huarong's body, Master should investigate this person carefully."
Tang Yin raised his head and said: "Master Qiu, I'll leave this matter to you!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Qiu Zhen cupped his hands and received the order.
Tang Yin explained: "Investigate her family background, the more detailed the better."
"This subordinate understands."
"Ha ha!" At this time, Zong Yuan smiled. Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, and Zhang Zhe did not understand, and looked at him together, asking curiously: "Why is Mr. Zong Yuan laughing?"
Zong Yuan did not dare say anything about Tang Yin. Instead, he pointed his spear at Qiu Zhen and Zhang Zhe and said: "I think that Mr. Qiu Zhen and Mr. Zhang Zhe are a little overthinking. Even if Mrs Huarong has some kind of secret that cannot be revealed, so what? Furthermore, her harem is complicated, and there are many factions in the harem in the past generations that have influenced the overall situation of the hall. If she could have a smart, scheming, and skilled lady in the harem to suppress all the other harem members, then that would be the fortune of her lord. "
Oh? What he said was something that Tang Yin did not think about. In fact, in his heart, he had already made plans, for the Madam had two candidates, one to choose from Fan Min, the other from Wu Mei, and these two had never been on good terms with each other. If they were from the same harem, they would definitely cause a huge disturbance, and if there was someone who could suppress them, it would save him a lot of trouble.
