Chapter 484
Xiao Min looked at Tang Yin and said, "The princess will marry Li Dan in March next year." After a pause, she suddenly changed the subject and asked curiously, "Tang Yin, do you really want to be the king of Feng Kingdom?" After learning the specific wedding date of Yin Rou and Li Dan, Tang Yin seemed a little absent-minded. He responded casually, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head, looked at Xiao Min, and smiled, "Why? Can't I be the king?" Xiao Min shook her head and said faintly, "I just didn't expect that your ambition would be so big..." She was a little disappointed when she spoke.
Tang Yin sighed, smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't do it, and someone else does it, I'm afraid Feng Kingdom will be more chaotic. By then, countless Feng people will suffer, and the north of the empire will also be turbulent." Xiao Min looked at Tang Yin in surprise and asked, "Do you really think so?" Tang Yin asked back, "What else?" "People who want to be king want nothing more than wealth and glory, and a high position." Xiao Min said bluntly.
What she said was the truth, but Tang Yin really didn't care about it. He was willing to fight for the throne of King Feng, thinking that he could do whatever he wanted without any restrictions in Feng Country. The freedom and rights that were not bound made him yearn for it.
He shook his head, his eyes fixed, and said calmly: "I have never thought about these." Xiao Min looked at Tang Yin for a long time, and nodded secretly. It seemed that only Tang Yin's style of dealing with things had changed, but his essence had not changed. He was still the same casual old man. She asked: "Did you ask me to come this time just to reminisce about the past?" "There is another thing, I want to ask you to do me a favor." "Oh? What favor?" "Take me into the palace, I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess." Tang Yin said seriously word by word.
Hearing this, Xiao Qingfeng and Xiao Min's faces changed at the same time. The forbidden area of the imperial palace is not something that outsiders can enter just by saying so, not to mention that they have to go to see the princess. If they are discovered, they will die, and even Xiao Min will be implicated.
"You...you want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why?" Xiao Min asked in surprise.
Tang Yin smiled and said: "To convince the emperor to grant me the throne, I'm afraid that it's not enough to rely on the power of Lord Xiao alone. If Her Royal Highness the Princess can also stand on my side and speak for me, I think this matter will be a sure thing." Xiao Qingfeng nodded repeatedly. Yes, if the princess is willing to speak for Tang Yin, even if it's just one sentence, it will be much more effective than a hundred sentences by himself, but will the princess help Tang Yin? He looked at Tang Yin in doubt, and then turned his eyes back to Xiao Min.
Xiao Min asked: "You want to see the princess, just for this matter?" If Tang Yin answered yes, Xiao Min would definitely refuse on the spot, but Tang Yin was silent for a while, and smiled bitterly: "The most important thing is that I want to see Her Royal Highness the Princess again." As Yin Rou's chief guard, Xiao Min has served Yin Rou for many years and is naturally familiar with her. She knew very well that although the princess had not said it, she was not happy about her marriage with Li Dan. From childhood to adulthood, she had never seen Yin Rou being particularly close to any man, except Tang Yin.
It had been so long since she left Fengguo and returned to the capital, and Yin Rou would often ask her about the situation in Fengguo. Xiao Min understood that the princess was not really concerned about Fengguo, but Tang Yin. When she learned that the Tianyuan Army led by Tang Yin was confronting the enemy, Yin Rou would be depressed, but when she learned that the Tianyuan Army was unstoppable and won repeatedly, Yin Rou would be happy all day.
Yin Rou's feelings for Tang Yin may not even be noticed by herself, but as someone around her, Xiao Min felt it keenly. If Tang Yin went to see the princess just to plot his throne, Xiao Min would certainly not agree. In her opinion, this was also a kind of harm to the princess, but Tang Yin's answer was satisfactory to him.
In addition, if Tang Yin could really become the King of Feng, there might be a chance to ruin the marriage between the princess and Li Dan. Of course, this was Xiao Min's own conjecture.
"Okay! I will help you with this. Tomorrow, I will find a way to bring you into the palace." Xiao Min took a deep breath and said seriously.
Xiao Qingfeng's jaw almost dropped after hearing this. His niece, who was so ruthless, was willing to take the risk of being beheaded to bring Tang Yin into the palace. He almost doubted whether he had heard it wrong. However, when Tang Yin bowed his hands to thank Xiao Min, he finally confirmed that he had heard it right. Xiao Min was indeed going to bring Tang Yin into the palace.
In any case, Xiao Min was his niece, and it was too risky to bring an outsider into the palace. He groaned for a moment and whispered, "Xiao Min, this... isn't it too dangerous?" Xiao Min shook his hand and said, "Uncle, I will bring a set of palace guards' uniform and armor. After putting it on, no one can tell whether it is real or fake. Besides, I will be there to cover it, so nothing will go wrong." "Oh!" Seeing Xiao Min's confidence, Xiao Qingfeng didn't know what to say. Finally, his eyes fell back on the silver bills in his hand and the gold sand in front of him, and asked tentatively, "Xiao Min, look at these gold and silver..." "Since it is given to uncle by Lord Tang, uncle will accept it, but uncle should not let Lord Tang down, and you must try your best to help him." Xiao Min said with a smile.
Not knowing what medicine his niece had taken wrong today, she suddenly became so sensible. Xiao Qingfeng said seriously: "Of course." As he spoke, he smiled at Tang Yin again, cleared his throat, straightened his back, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Tang, I will do my best to help you with the matters you entrust to me." "I am very grateful." Tang Yin bowed to Xiao Qingfeng again.
The happiest person at this dinner was undoubtedly Xiao Qingfeng. Without any effort, just by talking in front of the emperor, he could easily get two hundred thousand taels of silver and thousands of taels of gold. Where can you find such a thing in the world? Good thing? The old man was very happy and talked a lot. He even toasted to Tang Yin from time to time.
I don’t know if he was too happy and drank too much. After eating only half of the meal, Xiao Qingfeng seemed to be too drunk and lay down on the table. Seeing this, Tang Yin naturally could not keep him anymore, so he had to let Xiao Qingfeng’s servants Help him back home. Xiao Qingfeng seemed drunk, but he did not forget the banknotes and gold sand. He ordered his servants to take them with them, bid farewell to Tang Yin, and went home.
After Xiao Qingfeng left, Jiang Lu smiled dryly and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao's drinking capacity to be so bad today..." Xiao Min sneered and said, "Uncle is not drunk." "Oh?" Jiang Lu looked at it blankly. she.
Xiao Min said with a smile: "He's afraid! He's afraid that my bringing Tang Yin into the palace will be exposed tomorrow and get involved with him, so he pretended to be drunk and went home first. This is just to avoid suspicion." Regarding his uncle's behavior , Xiao Min still doesn’t understand?
"That's it!" Jiang Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake her head. She really couldn't tell that Xiao Qingfeng was so cunning and cunning, even playing tricks on his own niece. Anyone who can serve as an official in the imperial court is not a mediocre person!
Tang Yin was not surprised by this. In his opinion, it would be better if Xiao Qingfeng left. It would be more convenient for him and Xiao Min to talk. He picked up the new wine glass, raised his head, drank all the wine in it, and then asked: "Miss Xiao Min..." "Tang Yin, I call you by your first name, so you can also call me by my first name." "Xiao Min has a bold personality and is quite masculine.
Tang Yin smiled and replied: "Okay, I'll call you Xiao Min!" Xiao Min rolled his eyes and muttered: "You're not my uncle... Forget it, it's up to you. What did you want to ask me just now?" Tang Yin Narrowing his eyes, he asked uncertainly: "I wonder if the princess still remembers me now." Xiao Min shrugged casually and said ambiguously: "You will naturally know when you see Her Royal Highness tomorrow." This is like saying nothing! But having said that, no matter how close Xiao Min and Yin Rou were, she would not dare to bring a stranger into the palace to meet the princess. This shows that the princess should still remember her. After thinking about this, Tang Yin felt inexplicably cheerful. He looked up and laughed and said, "I will ask Her Royal Highness myself when I enter the palace tomorrow." After a pause, he couldn't help but ask: "Princess and How is your relationship with Prince Zheng?" "Li Dan?" Xiao Min shook his head and said, "In my impression, Her Royal Highness only met him three times, and the conversation did not last more than ten sentences. The first time was when His Highness was eleven years old. As for the last time... it was just yesterday!" Tang Yin was shocked and asked, "Li Dan is also in the capital now?" "Yes, just a few days ago. "Xiao Min leaned towards Tang Yin with a hint of drunkenness, patted his shoulder carelessly, and asked: "What? You don't want to challenge Li Dan to a duel, do you?" Tang Yin said first. He was stunned, then smiled leisurely and said: "Of course not." If there is a chance, you can consider getting rid of this person. He added in his mind.
Xiao Min took a deep look at him and said pointedly: "It's best not, otherwise you will definitely suffer the loss. The guards around Li Dan are all extraordinary people, and it is said that many of them are masters of Shenchi. If you If you go to trouble him, there will be no return." Tang Yin poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and sneered with a deep look: "The people in Shenchi are really like a nest of annoying flies, they are everywhere. , Seamless!" Unexpectedly, he would make such shocking comments about Shenchi. Xiao Min was startled at first, and then he laughed boldly, this is Tang Yin, you never know what is going on in his head. What are you thinking about and what incredible words will you say next?
After Xiao Qingfeng left first because he was drunk, Tang Yin and Xiao Min chatted for a long time. It was not until the fourth watch that the two finally came to an end.
Tang Yin ordered Jiang Fan to send Xiao Min back to the palace, and he took Jiang Lu and Letian back to the inn.
After bandaging the wound on his palm and lying on the bed, Tang Yin couldn't sleep for a long time. When he thought of seeing Yin Rou in the palace tomorrow, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
