Chapter 684
The atmosphere of the dinner was good, and Tang Yin ate and drank in Guo Tong's mansion until the third watch in the past three watches.
After returning to the palace, Ah San and Ah Si came out from inside, took the reins of Tang Yin's horse, and said at the same time: "King, you are back." ”
"Yes!" Tang Yin replied. Since Ah San and Ah Si were originally Guo Tong's slaves, he was afraid that it would cause embarrassment if he brought the two of them, so he left them in the palace.
Tang Yin drank a lot of wine, a little drunk, entered the mansion, and asked casually while walking towards his dormitory: "Ah San, Ah Si, what mistakes did you two make in Shenchi at the beginning?"
Tang Yin didn't have much interest in the things they had done before, but now he suddenly thought of it, so he asked casually.
Ah San and Ah Si's faces changed slightly, they looked at each other for a while, and after a moment of silence, Ah San opened his mouth and said, "Entered the forbidden land by mistake." ”
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and asked again, "Is this a big sin?"
"Yes, Great King, it is a capital offense to enter the forbidden land without permission in the Divine Pool. Ah San's face was expressionless when he spoke, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
"It's a capital offense to just go to the wrong place, and the rules of the god pool are really special. Tang Yin scoffed at this.
Alas! Ah San and Ah Si sighed in their hearts, the rules of Shenchi are not only harsh, but also numerous, living there, people have a dull sense of suffocation; they were taken in by Guo Tong, and their status was slaves, and they were not regarded as human beings at all, so they could not be talked about whether they were good or bad; only here in Tang Yin, the two of them understood what it meant to be relaxed and what it meant to be comfortable.
Tang Yin's eyes rolled, and he said, "When Guo Xiang and I were drinking, he still missed the two of you, hoping that I could let you two go back, what do you mean?"
Although he appreciates Ah San and Ah Si's skills, what he wants is a brother who is willing to stay by his side sincerely, and can share life and death with him.
Hearing this, Ah San and Ah Si's bodies were both shocked, plopping and plopping twice, and both of them knelt on the ground at the same time, and asked in a trembling voice: "King, ...... are we Did you do something wrong?"
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, stretched out his hand to pull the two up, and said, "What are you two doing right, I just asked casually, do you two want to stay with me or go back to Guo Xiang." The two of you have been following me for more than a month, even if you have any sins at the beginning, you can offset them, if you want to leave, just go, I won't be difficult for you both. ”
Ah San and Ah Si both shook their heads and said, "The king is as kind to my two brothers, even if he asks the two of me to be cattle and horses, I am willing to stay by the king's side and serve the king!"
The two of them spoke in a sincere tone and looked firm, and Tang Yin was relieved. He nodded and said with a smile: "If you two really think so, then it is naturally the best, with the ability of the two of you, how can I be willing to push it out?!
After Ah San and Ah Si heard this, they were inexplicably excited, they were originally fugitives from Shenchi and slaves of Guo Tong, and Tang Yin did not regard the two of them as trouble, nor did he treat them as slaves, treating them and others equally, this alone was enough for the two of them to follow Tang Yin with all their hearts.
Tang Yin returned to his bedroom, briefly freshened up, and then lay down on the bed.
He lay down faster, got up faster, and he jumped out of bed.
Hearing a strange noise in the room, the Shangguan brothers, who had not left the door, broke into the door together with Ah San and Ah Si, rushed closer, and saw Tang Yin wearing underwear and standing barefoot in the room, the four of them were all shocked, and asked in unison: "Wang, what's wrong?"
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, his gaze fell on the bed, and said quietly, "What's on the bed?"
Yuan Wu, Yuan Biao, Ah San, Ah Si inhaled, Yuan Wu walked quickly to the table, lit the candle, walked to the bed with the wax table, bent down, carefully by the candlelight, only to see more than a dozen small iron beads scattered on the bed, the iron beads are only the size of small fingernails, but they are covered with irregular iron thorns, although the iron thorns are not long, but the sting is also very painful.
"How...... How could there be such a thing?" Shangguan Yuanwu carefully picked up an iron bead, looked through it carefully, and muttered.
Tang Yin's brows were furrowed enough to kill a mosquito, and he asked dissatisfiedly, "Are you asking me?"
"The last general will not dare!" Of course, this will not be put by Tang Yin himself, so who will it be?
Shangguan Yuanbiao on the side took a deep breath, snatched the iron bead, walked out angrily, and when he arrived outside the door, he shouted loudly: "Where are the maids?"
In the quiet of the night, his voice was particularly piercing. It didn't take long for the little maids who took care of Tang Yin's bedroom to run out one after another, and saw Shangguan Yuanbiao standing there with a fierce look, the two big rings of eyes were about to fall out of their sockets, the little maids were trembling with fright, and a few less timid maids almost fainted on the spot.
Seeing that they didn't dare to move forward, Shangguan Yuanbiao strode over, stretched out his hand in front of them, pointed to the iron bead in his palm, and asked in a cold voice: "Say! Who put this on the king's bed?"
The maids fixed their eyes, and their heads buzzed, this is a barbed iron bead, this thing is placed on the king's bed, isn't it equivalent to killing the king?
More than a dozen maids fell to their knees in unison, and each of them panicked and explained in a loud voice: "It's not us! General Mingcha, this is not the ...... we put it."
"Didn't you do it, or did the ghost do it?" Shangguan Yuanbiao held the sword and said coldly: "Since no one admits it, then put you all to death!" This thing could not have been put by the three ladies, and the maids were naturally the most suspicious, and it would not be too much to put them all to death.
As soon as he heard this, there were sudden cries, pleadings, and shouts of grievances in the field, and Shangguan Yuanbiao was upset when he heard it, and he was just about to speak, when Tang Yin also walked out of the room.
His face was gloomy and ugly, his original sleepiness had long been swept away, he looked around at the kneeling maid, and waved his hand to Shangguan Yuanbiao, signaling him not to be impulsive.
He took the iron bead, squatted down, and asked, "You said that you didn't put it, and the king asked you, besides you, who else has entered the king's room today?"
The maids stopped crying and looked at each other, and two of them dared to say, "Go back...... Back to the king, in the evening, Princess Youqin came. ”
"Princess Youqin?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"That's it...... It's the little princess of Mozambique......" the maid hurriedly explained.
"Oh!" Tang Yin remembered, when Shao Fang talked about Shao Xuan, he did mention that her nickname was Youqin. Thinking of this, and thinking back to the scene when he met her during the day, Tang Yin suddenly realized that it must be Shao Xuan who heard that he was going to send her back to China, and he hated her, so he secretly made such a trick to take revenge on himself.
Tang Yin couldn't help but be happy, it was really a shame that this little girl could think of it, she dared to do such a thing, her courage was not ordinary! This is not that she doesn't know life and death, it is simply to the point of lawlessness. No wonder she is so young, Shao Fang is in a hurry to marry her, if he also has such a stubborn sister, maybe he will be like Shao Fang.
He nodded, stood up, and said, "This king knows, there is nothing to do with you here, go back and rest!"
"Yes...... Yes, King!"
Where did the maids dare to stay longer, they bowed their heads one after another, and then stood up, and ran away in the blink of an eye.
"Wang, just let them go?" Shangguan Yuanbiao asked unwillingly.
"You also heard, they didn't do this, otherwise what else could they do?"
"The king shouldn't just listen to them! What's more, even if they really didn't do it, they shouldn't let Princess Shao Xuan near the king's room at will. Shangguan Yuanbiao said angrily.
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Shao Xuan is rude, and she is the princess of a country, where can a few maids deal with it?!" After a pause, he asked again: "Where does Shao Xuan live?"
"Big ...... The king ......," Shangguan Yuanwu behind him said tremblingly.
"En?" Tang Yin turned his head, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "What?"
"The King...... There is a ...... behind the king"
Tang Yin followed Shangguan Yuanwu's eyes, returned his hand and touched his back, okay, it turned out that he still had an iron bead nailed to his back.
Damn! He pulled out the iron bead and threw it on the ground, then said, "Take me to Shao Xuan's residence, go now!"
The courtyard where Shao Xuan lived was not far from Tang Yin's bedroom, and the Shangguan brothers knew where it was, so the two led the way for Tang Yin and went straight to Shao Xuan's courtyard.
When Tang Yin came to Shao Xuan's residence, it was dark and silent, and it was obvious that Shao Xuan and the maids below had already slept.
Tang Yin walked directly to the front of the main room and pushed the door in.
He could trespass into the princess's room without permission, but the Shangguan brothers, Ah San and Ah Si didn't dare, and the four of them stood guard outside the door and listened to the movements inside.
There was no light in the dark room, but Tang Yin had night eyes and could still see in a lightless space. He squinted his eyes as he walked through the hall to the bedroom inside.
There were two little maids keeping vigil at the door of the bedroom, but at this time they were also napping and did not notice that Tang Yin was recently. He was going to wake up the two little maids, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind again, and he secretly pushed open the door of the bedroom and flashed in sideways.
There is a light aroma in the bedroom, which is not strong, but it cannot be ignored, and the smell will make people feel very comfortable.
Tang Yin's figure was like a ghost, he walked to the bed in a few steps, lowered his head, Shao Xuan was lying on the bed, and he was sleeping sweetly.
