Chapter 489

The other party had blocked the way, so Tang Yin couldn't rush over. He pulled the reins, looked at the big man in front of him with doubts, and asked, "When do you want to come?" The man dressed as a servant looked at Tang Yin, then turned sideways and said, "My young master invites you." While speaking, he pointed to the carriage parked in the middle of the road.

Tang Yin frowned secretly. It was his first time in Beijing. He was unfamiliar with the place. Who would recognize him? He thought for a moment, turned his horse's head, walked slowly to the front of the carriage, bent down, and looked inside through the window. He saw a young man in his twenties wearing gorgeous brocade clothes sitting in the carriage. This man Tang Yin knew was none other than the Crown Prince of Zhen State, Li Dan, whom he had just met in Yin Rou's bedroom.

Tang Yin was surprised that Li Dan was waiting for him here, but he reacted quickly. He smiled faintly and said, "It's Master Li Dan, but why did you come to me?" At this time, Li Dan came out of the car. Seeing this, Tang Yin was embarrassed to continue sitting on the horse, so he had to get off the horse patiently to see what Li Dan was going to do.

Although Li Dan was humble and polite in front of Yin Rou, he was very respectful outside the palace. Seeing that he was about to get off the carriage, several servants came up. Some held Li Dan's arm, and some half-knelt on the ground, letting him step on their knees to get off the car.

Surrounded by the crowd, Li Dan got off the car, smiled and walked close to Tang Yin, and said, "Guard Tang!" "Master Li!" Tang Yin returned the greeting.

Li Dan asked casually with a smile: "Where is Guard Tang going in such a hurry?" Tang Yin said calmly: "Of course he is going home to rest." Seeing Li Dan's puzzled expression, Tang Yin said again: "It's not my duty time in the afternoon." "Oh!" Li Dan nodded. The shifts of the palace guards were also normal. He smiled and said: "Guard Tang hasn't had lunch yet?" "Yes." Tang Yin didn't know what Li Dan was up to, so he nodded in response.

"It just so happens that I haven't had lunch either. I think it's better to treat Guard Tang this time and invite Guard Tang to have a meal together. Does Guard Tang have the time?" Li Dan asked with a smile.

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. As the prince of a country, Li Dan actually invited a small palace guard like him to have a meal. It was really incredible. Needless to say, Li Dan must have other intentions. Tang Yin wanted to refuse, but he also wanted to understand what Li Dan was going to do. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded and agreed: "It is my honor to have dinner with you, sir." Li Dan was very satisfied with Tang Yin's answer and said with a smile: "There is a good restaurant not far from here, Guard Tang, please come!" "Sir, please!" Invited by Li Dan, Tang Yin followed him to a nearby restaurant. It is indeed not too far from the palace, and its scale is not small. It is not meal time now, but there are still many guests coming in and out.

Li Dan seems to be a frequent visitor here. The shopkeeper and the waiter seem to know his identity and are very polite to him. The shopkeeper personally greeted him and led him to an empty table on the second floor.

Tang Yin and Li Dan sat opposite each other. As for Li Dan's servants, they all sat in the seats around them, and their eyes were like lightning, constantly looking around.

After ordering the food and drinks, Li Dan chatted with Tang Yin for a few more words, and then got to the point, asking leisurely: "In my impression, Her Royal Highness Princess is surrounded by female guards, I wonder if Guard Tang is..." It turned out that Li Dan still doubted his identity. Tang Yin was well prepared, and without thinking, he immediately replied: "I am the guard in charge of the outer perimeter of the princess's bedroom. If the princess's beloved things were not lost this time, she would never let us outer guards enter the inner part of the bedroom." His meaning was very clear, that is, Yin Rou suspected that the female officials, maids or guards around her had stolen her things, so she asked the guards outside the palace to investigate.

"So that's how it is." Li Dan also understood what Tang Yin meant, and then he asked curiously: "Has the princess found the lost jade hairpin?" Tang Yin shook his head and said: "Not yet." Li Dan said "oh" thoughtfully, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled at Tang Yin: "I have an unwelcome request, I wonder if Guard Tang can do me a favor." Tang Yin smiled, raised his head and said: "Sir, please tell me what you want to say." Apart from his identity, background, and various relationships, Tang Yin felt that Li Dan was a good person. He was just dressed as an ordinary guard, but Li Dan could be so polite to him, which showed that he was not a domineering and arrogant dandy who used his power to bully others.

Li Dan blushed slightly and said, "I would like to ask Guard Tang to help me think carefully about what the jade hairpin lost by Her Royal Highness the Princess looks like. If I really can't find it, I will find someone to make an identical jade hairpin and give it away." To Her Royal Highness, I think the princess will also be very happy, Guard Tang, what do you think?" Tang Yin almost laughed out loud, it turned out that Li Dan was so mysterious because of this! well! He sighed secretly in his heart. It was Zhenguo's misfortune to have such a prince. On the other hand, it was his great fortune to have such a love rival. The jade hairpin that Yin Rou lost was originally a miraculous thing. Tang Yin didn't know what the jade hairpin would look like, so he made nonsense of it: "The jade hairpin is made of old jade. It is green in color, warm in color, and inlaid on it." Gold and silk..." Li Dan listened carefully, tilting his head and unblinking his eyes. As Tang Yin spoke, he nodded along. When Tang Yin finished speaking, Li Dan also remembered every word he said. Then he held his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Thank you so much, Guard Tang, for your help. If I can please Her Royal Highness this time, I will be very grateful in the future." Humph! Tang Yin sneered in his heart, but still had a smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Young Master is too polite." "By the way, I wonder if Guard Tang knows the princess's daily preferences?" This is the question that Li Dan is most concerned about.

Almost no one around Yin Rou went out of the palace very often. The only one who often went out of the palace, Xiao Min, the chief guard, ignored him. It was not easy to find out Yin Rou's preferences. It was not easy this time. Li Dan didn't want to miss this opportunity when he met Tang Yin, who was very easy to talk to. He asked as many questions as he could.

In fact, Tang Yin and Yin Rou didn't get along for long, and they didn't know each other well. The reason why they were attracted to each other could only be said to be the result of fate. Not to mention that Tang Yin didn't know Yin Rou's preferences. Even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to tell his love rival Li Dan.

Tang Yin once again used his ability to lie without changing his face, and said leisurely: "Well, I know a little bit about this. The princess likes to collect gold and silver jewelry, and also likes elegant and luxurious clothes. As for food, she likes delicacies from the mountains and seas. What kind of strange things do you like?" What to eat..." During the few days he spent with Yin Rou, he rarely saw Yin Rou wearing gold and silver jewelry in private. Her clothes were mostly simple, decent, and comfortable, and her favorite foods were completely different from what Tang Yin said. On the contrary, Yin Rou likes light food and will not even taste greasy food. Most delicacies from mountains and seas are greasy, so Yin Rou will not like them.

However, what he mentioned happened to be the things that normal women would love most. Li Dan had no doubt about it, so he wrote them down one by one, and then thanked Tang Yin.

During this meal, both of them ate very slowly. Li Dan wanted to find out more about Yin Rou from Tang Yin, and Tang Yin also wanted to know more about Li Dan, who might become his future rival. The two of them ate while eating. The atmosphere was surprisingly good, and we had a great time chatting.

The two of them ate from afternoon to evening. Seeing that it was getting dark, Tang Yin didn't want to stay any longer. At this moment, he suddenly remembered when Li Dan invited Yin Rou to go out again and again. He rolled his eyes and weighed this. How should I ask the question so as not to arouse Li Dan's wariness. After thinking for a while, he pretended to suddenly remember something and said to Li Dan: "By the way, Master, there is something I almost forgot to tell you." "What is it?" Li Dan quickly raised his head and looked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin said: "Her Royal Highness the princess does not like to be forced by others. I think the princess is very disgusted with the matter that the young master brought up. It would be better for the young master not to mention it again in the future!" Li Dan frowned when he heard this and said subconsciously: "How can that be allowed? Princess Your Highness must not stay in the capital..." At this point, Li Dan realized that he had made a mistake. He quickly stopped his words and said to Tang Yin, "Thank you, Guard Tang, for reminding me. I will pay more attention to it in the future." Li Dan didn't say anything. Tang Yin didn't want to ask any more questions about what he meant by going on. However, through Li Dan's reaction, Tang Yin had a hunch that something might happen in the capital, and it might be a big deal. As for the specific situation, he didn't know. Tang Yin stood up. He stood up, raised his hands to Li Dan and said, "It's getting late, I have to rush home. Take care, sir, and I'll take my leave!" Li Dan didn't force him to stay, he also stood up, and said, "Tang Weiwei is slow. Let's go." Farewell to Li Dan, Tang Yin left the restaurant, and after riding on the horse, he couldn't help but look back, his brows knitted into knots. What will happen in the capital? Will Yin Rou be in danger? She is a majestic princess, and she is in a forbidden area of ​​the palace. Who dares to break into the palace and harm the princess? But if she is not in danger, then why does Li Dan insist on taking Yin Rou away from the capital?

Tang Yin couldn't figure out the reason and was puzzled. Finally, he shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it. If an accident really happened, he would risk his life to ensure Yin Rou's safety. After leaving the restaurant, Tang Yin identified the location of the inn where he was staying, then urged his horse to turn into a side road and took the shortcut back to the inn.

The main road to Beijing is bustling with people coming and going, while many of the small roads are rarely visited and empty. However, this is convenient for Tang Yin to rush his horse and save time. When he was riding the horse forward, suddenly, his arm pulled back and tightened the reins of the horse. The horse ran forward a few steps and slowly stopped.

Tang Yin squinted his eyes and stared ahead silently. There was no one on the path in front of him, but he could feel the murderous presence.
