Xiao Xiang followed Tang Yin and sat on the carriage. Inside the carriage, Tang Yin said faintly: "All this while, I have always underestimated the Son of Heaven, I thought the Son of Heaven was timid and stupid and useless."
His words almost made her choke on her own saliva. To praise the Son of Heaven in such a way was already a crime of treason. Of course, perhaps in Tang Yin's eyes, the Son of Heaven was at most a stray dog with a crown on its head!
She smiled and asked, "Could it be that Royal Brother's view of the Son of Heaven has improved?"
Tang Yin snorted and said: "It's true that he is timid, but he is not necessarily stupid and powerless. Maybe it's just as Zhang Xin said, the Son of Heaven's stupidity is all an act, it's just a way for him to protect his own self. "
Xiao Xiang laughed leisurely, and said: "Royal Brother, how can there be an incompetent duke from a nation? All the princes and princesses who could sit on the throne were full of scheming, let alone the throne. If the Son of Heaven is stupid and incompetent, he would never be able to ascend to the throne! "
"That's right, I've always underestimated him." Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders, then laughed out loud: "However, the royal power is weak, this is an uncontestable fact, even if the Son of Heaven is full of wise men and full of ambition, it would still be difficult to put to use, thus, in this world, no matter who it is, if they want to stand by the Son of Heaven's side and fight against the Feng Country, it would not be wise!"
Tang Yin had said all this to threaten him! It was only then that Xiao Xiang understood the meaning behind Tang Yin's words. Looking at his proud and arrogant look, her heart immediately burst with anger.
But then he thought about how he had saved him when he was still in the Linqiao County, and the anger that had just risen in Xiao Xiang's heart quickly calmed down. Tang Yin was such a person, he would not change it. If he really did change, then he would not be Tang Yin.
Speaking of which, there were many things that made him and Tang Yin's personalities, all of them were happy to be competitive, both of them looked down on others, and all of them were passionate about controlling, hoping that everything would fall into their hands.
She slowly said: "Regardless of whether Royal Brother believes it or not, I have indeed asked the Son of Heaven to give up on the matter of Zhen Country. As for whether the Son of Heaven should agree to this matter, that is not something I can decide. "Stop the car, I'm going to get off. It's too depressing to sit here."
Tang Yin blinked his eyes, while knocking on the carriage wall, he asked with a grin: "Do you think my carriage is too small?"
Xiao Xiang sneered, and said: "How could that be? The Royal Brother's carriage is almost bigger than the one the Son of Heaven is riding on, it's just that, the carriage is very big, and the people inside are very angry!" After she finished speaking, without waiting for Tang Yin to react, she got up and walked down the carriage.
Tang Yin lifted the curtain, looked at Xiao Xiang who was outside, and said solemnly: "If I were petty, I wouldn't have saved you time and time again."
Xiao Xiang asked in reply: "Royal Brother dares to say that repeatedly saving me is for no reason?"
Her retort caused Tang Yin's old face to turn red. He originally wanted to argue with her, but he gave up in the end.
It was a common occurrence for Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang to separate on bad terms, and there was no exception this time.
On the second day, in the evening, a shocking piece of news came out from the palace. Someone had informed the Son of Heaven that the Queen Ya Tong had illegitimate affairs with a palace guard, and did such a thing, causing the Son of Heaven to lose his temper and strip her of her title as Empress Ya Tong, and throw her into the cold palace.
As for the Guard Officer who secretly had an affair with Ya Tong, she also committed suicide out of cowardice due to an incident.
This was not a small matter. Even Yin Rou had rushed out of the Duke Palace in the middle of the night and rushed to the Imperial Palace. After hearing the news, Tang Yin was completely baffled. The empress and the palace guards had a secret relationship? How could this be possible!? He found Cheng Jin and asked him if he knew about this.
There were people who had been hiding in the palace the entire time. Firstly, there were the guards in charge of the palace, and secondly, there were also people who had come to monitor Yin Zhun's movements. Cheng Jin was also completely unaware of this matter. He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, from what I see, this should be an additional crime."
"Oh?" Tang Yin asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
"My king, the empress has been living in seclusion in her chambers the entire time, and the official on guard WeChat who was reported to have an affair with the empress has just sent people to investigate as well. He specializes in guarding the imperial garden, so if he doesn't see the empress personally, how could he have an affair with the empress? Besides, if the empress were to do anything, it would be a disgrace to the nation, and no matter how much love there was between the queen and the king, they should be executed according to the law. How could they be stripped of their title and thrown into the cold palace, and besides, there was no love between the empress and the king. This humble subject believes that there must be something fishy! " Cheng Jin said with a serious expression.
"So it's like this ?" Tang Yin squinted his eyes and muttered: "Everything is fine, why did Yin Zhun suddenly hurt the Queen?"
"This is also something that this humble subject finds strange." Cheng Jin shook his head: "All this while, His Majesty and Empress have never bothered each other. The Queen does not care about Her Majesty's matters, and Her Majesty has always been immersed in the beauty of being the consort.
"Humph!" Tang Yin scoffed, he did not understand so he decided to not think about it. He waved his hand and said, "Let Tian Zi handle the matters in the palace, as long as it has nothing to do with us."
Pausing, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Oh right, that guard couldn't be us, the Wind Man, right?"
"This ?" Cheng Jin thought for a moment, then said: "The guard officer is from Shang Jing, whether he can be considered to be us Feng people or not, this humble subject does not know."
Tang Yin was amused, and said: "Since you are from Shang Jing, then you do not count us Feng Ren, this matter has nothing to do with us, but you have to watch out carefully, in case those people with ulterior motives try to blame us!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this humble subject understands!" Cheng Jin bowed and agreed, then turned and left.
The next day, Yin Rou returned from the palace at noon. However, her eyes were red, and she was crying like two peaches. Her relationship with Ya Tong was very good, and normally she respected and respected her sister-in-law a lot. With such a huge matter happening this time, how could she not be worried and sad?
Once she returned to the Duke Palace, the first thing she did was to look for Tang Yin and help him out. After seeing Tang Yin, Yin Rou's tears couldn't help but flow out. Seeing that, Tang Yin hurriedly hugged her in his arms. He pretended to be concerned and asked, "How is the empress now?"
"What else could it be? He was locked in the cold palace by the Royal Brother, who would have known that the Royal Brother was so heartless." Yin Rou said in a sobbing tone, "Yin, this time you have to help the empress. The empress is innocent, she shouldn't bear the notoriety of being unfaithful."
Tang Yin secretly grinned, and said with a low voice to persuade his: "Rou Er, in the end, this is still His Majesty's family business, as a foreign official, it's not good for me to interfere!"
"How can you be considered an outsider? We are husband and wife, and my imperial sister-in-law is your imperial concubine. Now that your imperial sister-in-law has been wronged for no reason, how can you just sit idly by and watch?"
Yin Rou pulled on Tang Yin's sleeve and said with a trembling voice, "Yin, you must think of a way to investigate this matter.
After he muttered to himself about how troublesome it was, Tang Yin was too lazy to bother with this kind of 'trivial' family matters. He raised his hand to lightly wipe the tears on Yin Rou's face, and asked: "Are you sure the empress and that guard have nothing to do with each other? It was said that the guard had already committed suicide out of fear at home. "
"This is a dead proof!" Yin Rou's small face was filled with anger, and said: "There must be someone deliberately framing the empress, I can guarantee that the empress would definitely not have a secret relationship with the guard officer behind Royal Brother's back!"
Tang Yin understood Yin Rou's personality very well. If she was stubborn, if she did not agree to Yin Rou's request, then it would be endless.
He was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded her head, and said: "Alright, I will send people to investigate this matter, but Rou Er needs to be mentally prepared, if there really is a chance ?"
"There won't be any chance!" Yin Rou replied without thinking, "The Queen would never do that!"
Tang Yin nodded, he did not say anymore, and in front of Yin Rou, he sent a message to Cheng Jin, telling him to investigate the situation.
With regards to Yin Zhun seemingly deliberately framing the Empress, Tang Yin didn't really care that much. Of course, he also didn't understand why Yin Zhun would do such a thing.
However, very quickly, the matter came to an end. It was not that the empress and someone else had an investigation result, but rather, Yin Zhun's motive for doing so had an outcome.
It had only been a mere five days since the so called east window incident, but Yin Zhun sent an imperial edict straight to Xiao Xiang's Duke Palace in Shang Jing. It was an imperial edict bestowed marriage, and the one bestowed marriage was obviously Xiao Xiang on one side, and Yin Zhun on the other.
It was clearly written in the imperial edict that after the Son of Heaven conferred the title of Xiao Xiang, the date of the grand marriage had been set, which was ten days later.
Yin Zhun wanted to make Xiao Xiang the empress, but he had never told anyone in advance. He had not even greeted Xiao Xiang personally, and when it was late in the morning, Xiao Xiang was still sleeping soundly in the Duke Palace when the imperial edict for Yin Zhun's marriage arrived.
Upon receiving the decree, not to mention Xiao Xiang, who was dumbstruck on the spot, even the entire Duke Palaces were dumbfounded.
People were tongue-tied. The monk was confused. When did the Son of Heaven and the King decide to get married? Besides, there was no precedent for a marriage between the Son of Heaven and the Prince!
Very quickly, the news of Yin Zhun bestowing marriage spread throughout Shang Jing, and quickly as the people spread the news, the news spread like wildfire throughout the entire city.
The people were shocked by this news, but they also found it funny. The Son of Heaven's desire to marry the Prince was unprecedented and unprecedented. It could be said that he had opened an extraordinary river.
Of course, this news also quickly spread into Tang Yin's Feng King Palace. After listening to Subordinate's report, Tang Yin suddenly realised, no wonder Yin Zhun wanted to cripple his plans, and make way for Xiao Xiang, he wanted to change his position to Xiao Xiang.
This move by Yin Zhun was really a desperate move! There was no better way to win over King Chuan and firmly control Chuan Country than becoming husband and wife.
