Imperial Palace, Ten Thousand Phoenix Palace.
When Tang Yin arrived at the empress's chambers, Ya Tong had already prepared a feast in the palace. After meeting him, Ya Tong's usual indifferent attitude had changed.
As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to offer, you should either be a thief or a thief. Tang Yin would rather Ya Tong treat him in a manner that was neither cold nor hot like usual, that would at least let him feel a little more at ease.
After the two of them sat down, Ya Tong called out: "Feng King, try one of the dishes that I've prepared, there are two that I've personally made."
Tang Yin had already eaten, but he still pretended to eat a few mouthfuls. He felt that the taste was indeed good and praised his, "The empress's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary."
As he spoke, he picked up his handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth. He did not eat anymore and asked with a smile, "The empress has invited This King here today. It shouldn't be just to have This King accompany the empress for a meal, right?"
She pondered for a moment, picked up her wine cup, and said with a smile: "Feng King, I'll toast to you first!"
Tang Yin stared at Ya Tong for a moment, then picked up his cup and said: "Esteemed Empress is too courteous." As he spoke, he carefully observed the wine in the cup. There was no smell and no strange impurities in the wine, so it must be an ordinary wine. He paused for a moment, then raised his head to drink the wine.
"Empress, if you have anything to say, please say it." "You are the empress, I am the prince, and no one is an outsider." Tang Yin put down the cup and looked at Ya Tong with a smile.
Ya Tong let out a light sigh, and said: "This time, I have a request for Feng King."
There was indeed something wrong! Tang Yin's heart stirred, and he said indifferently: "Please enlighten me, Empress."
Ya Tong did not speak immediately. She waved to the servants on her left and right, sending them out, then raised her eyes to look at Ah San who was standing behind Tang Yin.
Tang Yin understood what she meant, but he was not worried. Ya Tong was just a normal girl, he was not afraid of her tricks. He turned his head and said to Ah San: "You two, wait for me outside!"
Ah San frowned at the same time.
The empress had always been cold and hostile towards the king. There couldn't be a trick involved in treating the king to wine for no reason at all, right? The two did not leave immediately. Instead, they said in a low voice, "Your Majesty ?"
"It's fine, go on!" Tang Yin could see the worry in the duo's eyes, so he nodded his head and smiled, showing that he was fine.
Ah San didn't dare to disobey and bowed to Tang Yin before slowly leaving the hall. At the same time the two of them left the hall, their eyes flashed with a strange light, quietly releasing Arts of Clairvoyance to check if there were any hidden Spirit Cultivator s around the hall.
What made the two of them feel at ease was that the Clear Vision they had released did not sense the existence of any Spirit Cultivator, which meant that there were no ambushes outside the main hall.
When Ah San also left the hall, Tang Yin and Ya Tong were the only two left in the space. Just then, Ya Tong stood up, holding her wine cup, she walked over to Tang Yin's side.
Seeing that, Tang Yin was startled, but before he could react, Ya Tong had already knelt down and placed down his own cup, and then personally poured another for him. She picked up her wine cup with both hands and placed it in front of Tang Yin.
The wine cups in the palace were exquisite, they were made from polished jade and were not big. If Tang Yin were to accept the wine cups, he would definitely touch Ya Tong's hands.
Looking at the wine cup in Ya Tong's hands in front of him, Tang Yin did not accept it nor did he accept it, and he did not move for a long time.
Ya Tong asked: "Are you afraid that I will poison the wine? I will drink a toast first! " As she spoke, she withdrew her wine cup and pretended to drink the wine within.
That was the cup that he used, now that the Queen wanted to use it, wasn't this just provoking trouble and falling for the truth?
"No need!" As she spoke, Tang Yin's arm casually waved outwards. Before Ya Tong could even see what had happened, she suddenly felt that her hand had lightened and the cup she was holding between her fingers mysteriously ran towards Tang Yin's palm. And despite his fast movements, she did not manage to spill a single drop of the wine in the cup. The speed of his attack was extremely fast, and the power he used was just right. It was truly amazing.
However, Ya Tong reacted quickly, a look of astonishment only flashed across her face for a moment before returning to normal. She moved slowly and gracefully as she picked up her cup, smiling at Tang Yin: "Feng King, please!"
Right now, the two were practically in front of each other. Tang Yin could clearly smell a light but alluring musk on her body, and with the demure and beautiful Ya Tong's beautiful smile, even Tang Yin couldn't help but feel a sense of uneasiness.
His self-control could not be compared to that of ordinary people. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said with a smile, "The Empress, please!"
The two of them shared another drink. It was unknown whether it was because Ya Tong's attitude was different from before or because she was drinking, but Tang Yin had a nagging feeling that she was a little different.
Afraid that he might have really lost control of himself, Tang Yin changed the topic and said, "What exactly does the Empress want to do? She hasn't said it out loud yet."
Ya Tong put down the cup, lightly sighed, and said: "Feng King knows that I have a little brother named Xia Fan." Ya Tong was the son of the heavens, not her real name.0
Tang Yin thought about it seriously. He seemed to have an impression of her, but he was not sure. He nodded and asked, "Did something happen to your little brother?"
Ya Tong said helplessly, "My brother is young, and at home, his parents are very spoiled. But this time, that good-for-nothing brother of mine actually lost his life, and has now been imprisoned by Lieutenant's Mansion. I hope ? This is the only male in my family who can resolve this matter, so I definitely cannot break the incense. I hope that Feng King can help me, and I will never forget the kindness of Feng King! "
Ah!" So the reason for all this extravagance was for this matter. Tang Yin didn't know about Xia Fan's imprisonment for murder, but from his point of view, it was just a trivial matter.
Of course, in his eyes, this was just a small matter, because he was the ruler of Feng Country. But for the empress, under the influence of others, there was nothing he could do about his younger brother's problem. He couldn't help her at all, he didn't even have a chance to seek help from the Son of Heaven.
Tang Yin slightly smiled, and said: "I wonder who is the one that your little brother has injured?"
Ya Tong said: "It is said that he is a person who deals in Yan City." Speaking till here, she revealed a look of concern, she did not know whether she did it intentionally or not, but she placed her hand on the back of Tang Yin's hand and asked: "Because the one who died was Ning Ren, will it be so troublesome?"
Tang Yin maintained his composure, and at the same time, unsheathed his hand from the table. He then said happily: "It is indeed a little troublesome, but it is not impossible for it to be resolved, as long as the Empress's mother is willing to keep you company for some silver, your brother promises that he will not offend her again in the future. This king will personally solve this problem."
"Really?" After Ya Tong heard this, she became excited. She leaned forward and subconsciously grabbed onto Tang Yin's arm, his entire body almost sticking to his body.
He could clearly feel the softness in Ya Tong's chest. Looking at her beautiful face, Tang Yin pursed his lips and shuddered, then he shifted his body to the side and increased the distance between him and Ya Tong. Then, he stood up and cupped his hands together as he said, "Empress, there's no need to worry about this anymore. With that, he did not linger and turned to walk out.
Looking at Tang Yin's back figure that was leaving as if he was escaping, Ya Tong's eyes revealed a strange luster.
She was very clear of her own appearance, and it was also precisely because of this that she couldn't help but admire Tang Yin's character. Under such circumstances, she was still able to remain unmoved, and was truly an extraordinary person.
Tang Yin brought Ah San and walked out of the Ten Thousand Phoenix Palace. As they headed out of the palace, he muttered to himself, "Strange ?"
Ah San did not understand, and asked: "What's strange King?"
"Nothing." Tang Yin replied without thinking much into it, but he was secretly muttering in his heart, he is not a lecherous person, and in the past, he was not even the least bit interested in Ya Tong, so why would he suddenly develop a sexual interest in her? Even if Ya Tong was obviously trying to please and seduce her, according to her previous personality, he would only feel more disgust towards her. Could it be because she had been busy with public affairs and had not touched a woman for too long?
Thinking about that, Tang Yin laughed and shook his head.
On the way back to the Duke Palace, Tang Yin asked the guards to find Shangguan Yuanji and invite him to his own Duke Palace.
Since Ya Tong's younger brother, Xia Fan, was captured by someone from the Lieutenant's Mansion, he could of course directly go to Gu Chong and Gu Chen's uncle and nephew and ask them to release him, but he had always emphasized that the Son of Heaven committed crimes along with the citizens. It was not appropriate for him to personally speak of this matter, so she would be most suitable to hand it over to the tactful and tactful Shangguan Yuanji.
When Tang Yin stepped into the Duke Palace, Shangguan Yuanji immediately rushed over. After inviting him to the study, the two sat down, Tang Yin went straight to the point: "Yuanji, there are two things I need you to do."
"Yes sir!" Shangguan Yuanji did not hesitate and replied his in all seriousness.
"First thing, the empress has a little brother named Xia Fan, who was captured by Lieutenant's Mansion because he killed a merchant. Just now, the empress had personally requested this from me. I didn't think it was a big deal, and I didn't want to dishonor the empress with such a small matter, so I agreed. Yuanji, run over to the Lieutenant's Mansion for me and bring up Xia Fan. Just deal with it as you wish, but don't say that I asked you to do it. "
Shangguan Yuanji was startled, then he laughed, that's right, if the King were to take action, it would not be appropriate, for there was something that went against the law, it would be better for Shangguan Yuanji to appear.
He nodded his head and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured that this humble subject will handle this matter properly." Pausing for a moment, he then asked, "Then the second thing that the king has this humble subject do ?"
