Tang Yin looked carefully, and it turned out that the person who was looking in his direction was the small palace maid that was in charge of taking care of the palace. Tang Yin smiled and waved her over. Seeing that the young palace maid was standing motionlessly for a long time, Tang Yin opened his mouth and said: "Come over."
Hearing Tang Yin's words, the little palace maid could no longer stand still. With a light reply, she lowered her head and walked to the front of Tang Yin's bed. Tang Yin sized her up. The little palace girl was young, only around fourteen or fifteen years old. Her body was small and thin, and her appearance could be considered pretty. Tang Yin asked: "What were you looking at just now?"
The little palace maid still didn't dare to raise her head, and timidly whispered, "Your humble servant is watching the King sleep, right?"
"Oh!" Tang Yin replied, "Raise your head."
The small palace girl was startled at first, but she didn't dare to disobey Tang Yin's orders. She still slowly raised her head. She was not very old, but her dark circles were not small. At the moment, there were two dark bruises, as if someone had punched her twice. Tang Yin secretly frowned, and asked: "How many days have you not slept for?"
Not expecting Tang Yin to suddenly ask this question, the little palace maid replied: "This lowly servant has already asked this question for three days … …" Before she finished speaking, she immediately stopped herself from speaking and looked at Tang Yin in puzzlement. She did not know how he saw through it.
Tang Yin looked into her confused eyes and chuckled. "You have such heavy dark circles under your eyes, even a person would be able to see that. "Why don't you sleep?"
The young palace maid's face reddened when she heard Tang Yin's words, but her fear of Tang Yin lightened by a lot. She felt that he did not have the airs of a monarch and was very approachable, completely different from the Zhong Tian of the past. She whispered, "This servant dares not."
"You don't dare?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, what else was there to do but sleep? Could it be that there was a rule for palace maids to not sleep?
The little palace girl swallowed her saliva, looked left and right, then said with a trembling voice: "The Queen of Former King died here, strangled to death by others. At that time, many guards and palace maids also died, their blood stained the ground red … This servant was standing guard here by himself. This place was so big, so … "So …"
She did not dare to continue. Although she was only 15 years old, she had been in the palace for a long time and was very familiar with the rules of the palace. If one dared to say that there was something unclean in the palace, it would be a capital offense.
Tang Yin did not hold back at all, and continued with her words: "So you're worried that there will be ghosts here?"
The little palace maid's body shook, she kneeled on the ground and said, "I dare not, I dare not!"
"The way ghosts and gods talk, nonsense, it's all people scaring themselves." Tang Yin stretched out his hand to pull the little palace maid up, and said half jokingly: "It's good now, I'll accompany you tonight. If there really are ghosts, then if there really are any here, then it's first time looking for me.
She had always heard rumors of Tang Yin being ruthless and merciless, and had killed countless people, but at this moment, when she saw Tang Yin personally, the little palace girl didn't have that kind of feeling. Instead, she felt that Tang Yin was amiable, not like a sovereign at all, but more like the big brother next door. Her heart warmed as she stood by the bedside for a long time without moving.
Seeing that she was not going to rest, Tang Yin smiled and asked: "What's wrong now?"
"Your Majesty, your humble servant …" Can I sleep there? " The court lady boldly pointed to a chair at the side.
Tang Yin laughed, his body moving to the side of the bed, and said: "How do I sleep on the chair? You should just sleep on the bed. This bed is so big, it's more than enough to accommodate the two of us. "
After the little palace maid finished listening, her delicate and pretty face immediately turned pink as she felt nervous and expectant in her heart.
Tang Yin was really tired, and he quickly closed his eyes and stopped talking, his breathing gradually becoming longer and longer.
The small palace girl hesitated for a while, but in the end, she still suppressed the fear in her heart due to sleep and laid down beside Tang Yin.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be in deep sleep at this time. However, Tang Yin's sleep was very light, and not even the slightest movements in the wind or grass could hide from his ears. He did not know how long he slept, but he could faintly hear light footsteps approaching.
In that instant, Tang Yin lost all sleep and opened his eyes, but his posture on the bed did not change, as before, it was still facing the inside of the bed. The sound of footsteps got closer and closer, and very quickly they reached the bedside. At this time, Tang Yin's hand also felt the Scimitar that was hidden under his clothes.
The person stood by the bed for a good while, then bent down, passed by a small palace maid by the bed and carefully approached Tang Yin. Just as she was half a foot away from Tang Yin, Tang Yin, whose back was originally facing her, suddenly turned around, and at the same time, released a cold light, which pressed the tip of his cold blade against the person's neck.
"Huh?" The person was obviously shocked by Tang Yin's actions, and instinctively shouted out. At this time, Tang Yin finally recognized the person who came. Mrs Huarong — — Yuan Qianyi.
"It's you?" Tang Yin did not expect her to be the one to come, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Why are you here?"
Yuan Qianyi's face slightly paled as she looked down at the Scimitar beneath her neck and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty …"
Swish! Tang Yin withdrew his blade and without seeing how much strength he used, his body flipped over the small palace maid who was still sleeping soundly and floated to the ground. Looking at his hand again, it was completely empty.
Without the pressure from the blade, Yuan Qianyi heaved a long sigh of relief. At the same time, she also supported herself on the chest, as though she was scared by Tang Yin, for a moment, she said: "I heard that the King would be resting in the main palace today, so I came over to check, and found that there were no night guards by the door. So I directly walked over to take a look!" After pausing for a moment, her gaze shifted. She looked at the little palace maid by the bed, and then asked Tang Yin in confusion: "Great King, this is …"
Tang Yin's explanation to Yuan Qianyi was also unable to change much. The current palace was still the same as before, there were not many changes, there were still no full-time guards within the palace, and were all replaced by Pingyuan Army. In order to avoid suspicion, Pingyuan Army rarely went deep into the imperial harem, thus there were no guards in charge of guarding outside the main palace.
He softly said, "She is the palace maid that takes care of the main palace."
"A palace maid?" Yuan Qianyi frowned and said unhappily: "She has such guts to actually sleep in the King's bed … …"
Without waiting for Yuan Qianyi to finish speaking, Tang Yin had already waved his hand and interrupted him, "I was the one who let her sleep here."
Ah!" Yuan Qianyi rolled her eyes and slowly moved closer to Tang Yin. In a low voice, she asked, "The King hasn't forgotten the agreement we made with her concubine, right?" Now that Tang Yin was the Wind King, Yuan Qianyi no longer dared to call herself a concubine in front of him.
Tang Yin knew what she was referring to, he raised his head towards the outside of the bedroom and said: "Let's go out to talk!" With that, he walked out of the bedroom and into the hall.
Yuan Qianyi followed behind him with small steps. Tang Yin sat down by the side of the table, looked at Yuan Qianyi who was standing at the side, and laughed: "Of course I haven't forgotten. Don't worry, I will keep my promise, and let you be one of my wives."
secretly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Tang Yin's affirmation. He smiled amorously at Tang Yin and said: "Since Your Majesty still remembers your promise, then Your Majesty … … Why do you need a palace maid to attend to you and not find me? "
Tang Yin knew that Yuan Qianyi had misunderstood, but he was lazy to explain, and indifferently said: "When I need you, I will naturally come to find you." As he spoke, his gaze also turned towards Yuan Qianyi.
Tonight, she was wearing a muslin dress. The undergarment underneath her dress was faintly discernible, and at the same time, it revealed her well-proportioned, slender, curvy, and graceful figure.
He didn't like Yuan Qianyi's personality and character, but he had to admit that Yuan Qianyi had a fatal attraction for men. She was holy and loose, had a noble and seductive temperament, and would unconsciously cause men to have a strong desire to conquer her.
As her gaze stayed on Yuan Qianyi's body for a longer period of time, Tang Yin's eyes also became brighter and brighter. He slowly stood up, approached Yuan Qianyi, extended her hand, and held onto her sharp and delicate chin, and faintly said: "Of course, if you are willing, you can also stay here tonight."
Tang Yin's meaning was already so clear, how could Yuan Qianyi not be able to hear it? Her body trembled slightly, then she smiled sweetly at Tang Yin and tapped her toes, and whispered into his ear: "Tonight, I'm afraid I cannot serve the King anymore."
He was confused by her words. When she saw him sleeping on the same bed as the young palace maid, she would be angry, but if he wanted to find her, she would have to delay it. Tang Yin really couldn't understand what Yuan Qianyi was thinking.
Yuan Qianyi blushed as she said in a voice so low that even she could barely hear herself clearly, "Today's business with Yue'er has come."
After all, Tang Yin was a man and no matter how thick-skinned he was, when he heard this, his old face immediately turned red. He first replied with an "oh" before chuckling. "Since that's the case, you should go back and rest early!"
"Your concubine wishes to stay with the King." Yuan Qianyi revealed a pitiful expression, looking at Tang Yin resentfully.
"I see …" It's better if it's another day! " Tang Yin was confident in his self-control, but he didn't want to make himself too uncomfortable. To see such a beautiful woman like Yuan Qianyi by his side, yet unable to move, that was truly a type of torture, and he probably wouldn't need to sleep this night.
Hearing his words, Yuan Qianyi could not help but let out a light laugh. After muttering to herself for a moment, she said, "Alright, I will come again tomorrow to serve the great king." As she spoke, she once again whispered into Tang Yin's ear. "Tomorrow, the matter of my month will pass."
"Cough, cough!" Tang Yin almost choked on his own saliva. Looking at Yuan Qianyi who was' somewhat treacherous', he couldn't help but smile.
After watching Yuan Qianyi leave, her figure disappeared outside the door for a long time. Tang Yin let out a soft sigh, turned around, and returned to his bedroom. However, after being disturbed by Yuan Qianyi like this, he was unable to sleep for a long time.
As for Yuan Qianyi, after walking out of the main palace, two more palace maids immediately followed, and when they reached Yuan Qianyi's side, one of the palace maids asked softly: "What does Madam plan to do?"
