Chapter 684

The atmosphere of the dinner was good. Tang Yin ate and drank in Guo Tong's house until nearly three o'clock in the morning before leaving. Read the full text.

After returning to the palace, Ah San and Ah Si came out to welcome him, took the reins of Tang Yin's horse, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, you are back."

"Yes!" Tang Yin responded. Since Asan and Asi were slaves of Guo Tong, he was afraid that taking them there would cause embarrassment, so he left them in the palace.

Tang Yin drank a lot of wine and was a bit drunk. He entered the house and asked casually as he walked towards his bedroom: "Ah San, Ah Si, what mistakes did you two make in the Shenchi?"

Tang Yin didn't have much interest in their past affairs, but now he suddenly thought of it and asked casually.

Ah San and Ah Si's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other for a while. After a moment of silence, Ah San said, "You entered the forbidden area by mistake."

Tang Yin shrugged and asked, "Is this a big sin?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, entering the forbidden area without authorization in the Divine Pond is a capital offense." Asan's face was expressionless when he spoke, but there was a hint of pain in his eyes.

"Just walking to the wrong place is a capital offense. The rules of Shenchi are really special." Tang Yin sneered at this.

well! Ah San and Ah Si sighed in their hearts. The rules of Shenchi were not only harsh, but also numerous. Living there gave people a dull and suffocating feeling. Being taken in by Guo Tong, the two of them were slaves and were not allowed to live there at all. From a human perspective, it can't be said to be good or bad; only in Tang Yin's place can the two of them understand what relaxation and comfort are.

Tang Yin rolled his eyes, changed the subject, and said, "When Guo Xiang and I were drinking, he still missed you two and hoped that I could let you go back. What do you two mean?"

Although he appreciates the abilities of Ah San and Ah Si, what he wants is a brother who is willing to stay by his side sincerely and who can share life and death with him. It's better to send him away as soon as possible, otherwise there will be hidden dangers if he stays.

Hearing these words, Ah San and Ah Si's bodies were shaken together, and there was a thump, thump. They both knelt down at the same time and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, did we...did we do something wrong?"

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, stretched out his hand to pull the two of them up, and said: "You two did nothing wrong, I just asked casually to see if you two would like to stay with me or go back to Guo Xiang's place." "You two have been following me for more than a month. Even if you have any sins in the past, they can be offset. If you want to leave, just leave. I won't make it difficult for you two."

Ah San and Ah Si both shook their heads and said, "The king is very kind to my two brothers. Even if they ask me to work as cows and horses, they are still willing to stay with the king and serve the king!"

Their voices were sincere and their eyes were firm, and Tang Yin felt relieved. He nodded and said with a smile: "If you two really think so, then of course it would be the best. With your two abilities, how can I be willing to push it out?! From now on, I can live in the palace with peace of mind, as long as I have If I have something to eat, if I have something to wear, I have it for both of you!”

After hearing this, Ah San and Ah Si were inexplicably excited. They were fugitives from Shenchi and slaves of Guo Tong, but Tang Yin neither regarded them as trouble nor as slaves. He treated them and the other party Everyone else treated them equally, and this alone was enough for the two of them to follow Tang Yin wholeheartedly.

Tang Yin returned to his bedroom, freshened up briefly, and then lay down on the bed.

He lay down quickly and got up even faster. He jumped out of bed.

Hearing a strange noise in the room, the Shangguan brothers who had not left at the door broke in with Ah San and Ah Si. They rushed closer and saw Tang Yin wearing pants and standing barefoot in the room. Everyone was shocked and asked in unison: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, his gaze fell on the bed, and he said quietly: "What is on the bed?"

ah? Yuan Wu, Yuan Biao, Ah San, and Ah Si took a breath. Yuan Wu walked quickly to the table, lit the candle, held the candle stand and walked to the bed. He bent down and took a closer look with the candlelight. There were more than ten small iron beads scattered on the bed. The iron beads were only as big as a small fingernail, but they were covered with irregular iron thorns. Although the iron thorns were not long, they were quite painful when they stung.

"How...how could there be such a thing?" Shangguan Yuanwu carefully picked up an iron bead, looked through it carefully, and murmured.

Tang Yin's brows were so furrowed that he could pinch a mosquito to death. He asked dissatisfiedly, "Are you asking me?"

"The general will not dare!" Of course it wasn't Tang Yin who set it off himself, so who could it be?

Shangguan Yuan Biao took a deep breath, grabbed the iron bead, and walked out angrily. When he got to the door, he shouted loudly: "Maids? Where are all the maids?"

In the quiet night, his voice was particularly harsh. Not long after, the little maids who were taking care of Tang Yin's dormitory ran out one after another. They saw Shangguan Yuanbiao standing there with a fierce look on his face, his two big-ringed eyes about to fall out of their sockets. The little maids were trembling with fear. Well, a few of the timid maids almost fainted on the spot.

Seeing that they didn't dare to come forward, Shangguan Yuanbiao strode over to them, stretched out his hand in front of them, pointed at the iron bead in his palm, and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me! Who put this on the king's bed?"

The maids took a closer look, and their heads buzzed. These were thorny iron beads. If these things were placed on the king's bed, wouldn't it mean regicide?

Wow - more than a dozen maids fell to their knees in unison, each one panicked and explained in succession: "It's not us! General, it's clear that we didn't let this go..."

"If it wasn't you who did it, could it be that ghosts did it?" Shangguan Yuanbiao held his sword and said coldly: "Since no one admits it, then you will all be executed!" What he said was not just talk, Tang Yin On weekdays, only three ladies and their maids can enter the dormitory. It was impossible for the three ladies to put this thing there. The maids were naturally the most suspicious. It would not be too much to execute them all.

Upon hearing this, cries, pleas, and cries of injustice suddenly broke out in the venue. Shangguan Yuan Biao was upset and was about to speak when Tang Yin also walked out of the room.

His face was gloomy and ugly, and all his original sleepiness had long since disappeared. He looked around at the kneeling maid, and waved his hand to Shangguan Yuan Biao, signaling him not to have sex.

He held the iron bead, squatted on his bed, and asked: "You said you didn't put this in, so I ask you, besides you, who else has entered my room today?"

The maids stopped crying and looked at each other. Two of them bravely said: "Back... back to the king, Princess Qin came here in the evening."

"Princess Qin?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Just...she is the little princess of Mo Country..." the maid hurriedly explained.

"Oh!" Tang Yin remembered. When Shao Fang talked about Shao Xuan, he did mention that her nickname was Youqin. She is coming? Did she put it there? Thinking of this, and then recalling the scene when he met her during the day, Tang Yin suddenly realized that it was Shao Xuan who had heard that he was going to send her back to the country, and was filled with resentment, so he secretly pulled out such a trick to avenge himself.

Poof! Tang Yin couldn't help but feel happy. It's a shame that this little girl could think of it and dared to do such a thing. Her courage was not ordinary! This is no longer reckless, it is simply lawless. No wonder Shao Fang was so anxious to marry her off when she was so young. If he had such a naughty sister, he might be like Shao Fang.

He nodded, stood up, and said: "I understand, I have nothing to do with you here, go back and rest!"

"Yes...yes! Your Majesty!"

The maids who dared to stay longer kowtowed, stood up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, just let them go like this?" Shangguan Yuanbiao asked unwillingly.

"You also heard that this was not their fault. Otherwise, what else could we do to them?"

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't just listen to their words! What's more, even if they really didn't do it, they shouldn't let Princess Shaoxuan get close to your Majesty's room at will." Shangguan Yuanbiao said angrily and unfairly.

Tang Yin shrugged and said: "Shao Xuan is unruly and a princess of a country. How can a few maids handle it?!" After a pause, he asked again: "Where does Shao Xuan live? I have to go and see. Did she sleep peacefully?"

"Your Majesty..." Shangguan Yuanwu behind him said tremblingly.

"Well?" Tang Yin turned around, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "What?"

"Your Majesty...there is someone behind your Majesty..."

Tang Yin followed Shangguan Yuanwu's eyes and touched his back. Well, it turned out that there was an iron bead nailed to his back.

damn it! He pulled out the iron bead, threw it to the ground, and then said: "Take me to Shao Xuan's residence, go now!"

The courtyard where Shao Xuan lived was not far from Tang Yin's residence. The Shangguan brothers knew where it was. They led the way for Tang Yin and went straight to Shao Xuan's small courtyard.

When Tang Yin arrived at Shao Xuan's residence, it was dark and silent. Apparently Shao Xuan and the maids below had fallen asleep.

Tang Yin walked directly to the main room, pushed the door open and entered.

He could break into the princess's room without permission, but the Shangguan brothers, Asan and Asi did not dare. The four of them stood outside the door and listened quietly to what was going on inside.

The room was pitch dark without any light, but Tang Yin had night eyes and could still see in a lightless space. He squinted his eyes and walked through the hall to the bedroom inside.

There were two little maids keeping watch at the door of the bedroom, but they were also napping at this time and did not notice Tang Yin approaching. He originally planned to wake up the two little maids, but after a second thought, he changed his mind. He secretly pushed open the bedroom door and ducked in sideways.

There is a light and refreshing aroma in the bedroom. It is not strong, but it cannot be ignored. It makes people feel very comfortable when smelling it.

Tang Yin looked like a ghost. He walked to the bed in a few steps. When he lowered his head, he saw that Shao Xuan was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
