"You don't understand, ben gong also has ben gong's difficulties." The Empress sighed faintly, "What kind of personality does Prince Zhongshun have? This kind of shameful matter, regardless of whether it is true or false, will make him lose face if it is publicized. He will certainly bear a grudge. Moreover, to catch a thief, you have to catch the stolen goods. To catch an adulterous couple, you have to catch them together. We only saw Zhong Yibo walking around, but we didn't really see them do anything.
Once the matter is exposed, the Qin Clan can use 'something to discuss' to brush it off. At that time, won't ben gong become a villain who instigates discord between husband and wife? "
"But niang niang, this matter has already been reported by Concubine Zhuang. If you ignore it, I'm afraid it won't be good for you."
"That's why this matter is difficult to handle." The Empress stood up and rubbed between her eyebrows, saying: "Ben gong shouldn't have paid attention to Concubine Zhuang's cries that day and let her find a solution herself. Now, this matter is so difficult. Won't ben gong also be involved?"
"Niang niang, you are too kind. Seeing Concubine Zhuang cry pitifully, you couldn't bear it."
The Empress said helplessly: "These years in the palace,
Living those days of scheming and scheming, ben gong didn't learn to be completely ruthless. I always thought, we are all women, and our lives are not easy. It's fine if a husband takes a concubine, but to have an affair with a married woman is even more humiliating than having a mistress. At that time, I was so angry that I lost my head. Now, I can't get off the tiger. "
"Niang niang, how do you plan to deal with this matter? Are you really going to ignore it? "
The Empress knew that Sun mama had a straightforward personality and couldn't stand these kinds of dirty things. But if she really interfered too much in this matter, she would be inviting trouble for herself.
"Even if you want to interfere, you should first consider your own interests, right?"
Hearing this, Sun mama immediately realized that her words were too offensive and interfered too much in the master's matter. She bowed her head and said: "Niang niang niang, forgive this servant. This servant has overstepped the bounds."
The Empress gently waved her hand, "ben gong doesn't mean to blame you. But this matter is not easy to handle. If we speak frankly, we will be involved in this matter. If we ignore it, it will be unfair. How can we change the method and tactfully show that ben gong has done her duty? "
"The Empress is right." Sun mama racked her brains to think, "I'm just afraid that Concubine Zhuang and Madame Zhong Yibo will come and make a fuss."
The Empress smiled. "I didn't come here to redress their grievances."
Granny Sun's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands, "That's right! The Empress is here to pray for blessings. You are busy praying for the Buddha to stop the heavy rain. How can you have the time to deal with these trivial matters? Compared to the common people of the world, they did not have that kind of weight. If they dare to make a ruckus, just say that they're disturbing Her Highness' chanting! "
The Empress nodded. "Even so, I still have to think about how to express it tactfully."

At this time, Qin Yining was holding his breath. He sat in front of the table and picked up the unfinished shoe soles. Then he angrily put them down and said, "He's already so old, yet he's so reckless. It's unreasonable. Has he always been like this, or did he lose his mind after marrying a wife? Originally, he and I were already suspected by others. We were at the cusp of the storm, right under the Empress's nose. He didn't even think about his own status and came here like this. No one saw him, but if someone bumped into him, I wouldn't be able to explain myself even if I had a hundred mouths! "
"Wangfei, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get angry with outsiders and harm your body, "Ji Yun persuaded.
Bing Tang also said, "That's right. Wang Ye has always trusted you. Even if he knew that Zhong Yibo came to visit late at night, he would only blame Zhong Yibo. He wouldn't let his imagination run wild."
"Even so, it's still irritating to be inexplicably smeared by this couple." Qin Yining took a few deep breaths, but his anger still didn't subside. "I've been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for the past few days. It wasn't easy for me to calm down, but I've been angered by him for nothing."
Just as he was speaking, there was a soft knock on the window pane.
The three of them jerked their heads back at the same time and looked at each other.
Ji Yun quickly walked over and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
"Wang Ye!?"
Hearing the deep male voice, Ji Yun quickly opened the window.
Then, she saw a tall and slender figure nimbly flip through the window and enter the room. He turned around and casually closed the window, then blew out the silk lamp by the window.
Pang Xiao's black clothes were soaked and clung to his muscular body. Soon, there were many water stains on the floor.
However, Qin Yining couldn't care less. She quickly walked over and hugged his neck, hanging her entire body on him. She said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Pang Xiao held her slender waist and gently pushed her out. Her long hair was scattered, and her slender arms were wrapped around his neck. The sight of her throwing herself into his arms was simply too moving. Pang Xiao's heartbeat quickened, and his wet and cold body heated up. Even his underwear felt like it was about to evaporate.
"Be good, I'm wet. I don't want you to catch a cold."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm not cold. How have you been these past two days? "
"Without you at home, I've been living a good and bad life." Pang Xiao smiled and scratched her nose with his finger, leaving rainwater on the bridge of her nose. "Why do I feel like you've become thinner again?"
Qin Yining touched her nose and smiled. "It's fine. I think the life we're living now is pretty good. I don't eat meat, so I'm naturally thinner, but I'm much lighter. "
"You're already too thin. You can't go on like this." Pang Xiao said in a low voice, "I'll go ask the Empress later. How long does she want you to stay with her for? It's fine if you stay with her for a few days. It's also time for me to bring you home."
"Don't. If the Empress gets angry, it won't be good."
"I don't care. Why can't my wife come home? She just wants you to stay for a while, and I agreed. I didn't make her lose face on the spot. Why can't she let me bring you home? Even her man doesn't dare to be so arrogant in front of me. "Pang Xiao's tone was very domineering.
Qin Yining chuckled when she heard this. Her anger from before was swept away.
As long as she saw Pang Xiao, her heart and eyes would be filled with him. She could even forget her worries.
Pang Xiao leaned over and kissed her eyes. "Be good. Endure for one more night. I'll come and pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay." Qin Yining tiptoed and kissed his stubbled chin.
The two of them just stood by the window and hugged each other, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Bing Tang and Ji Yun had already hidden outside. Mu Jinghu covered the roof and squatted on the roof with Pang Xiao as a lookout.
Pang Xiao didn't mention anything about Lu Heng, nor did he mention the results of the investigation. He just coaxed her to be happy.
But Qin Yining couldn't hold back in front of Pang Xiao. She told Pang Xiao about her guesses at the Empress's place, as well as Lu Heng's sudden appearance and strange explanation.
"The two of them really make people speechless. They don't want to live a good life, but they have to create these complications. Bian Ruohan probably has a hole in his head, and Zhong Yibo has also been tricked into the hole. "
Hearing Qin Yining's words, Pang Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Isn't it enough that I know how you are? How this couple acts is their business. I'll pick you up tomorrow. We'll live our own lives and don't have to care about others. Moreover, I think this matter will be resolved soon. Zhong Yibo has to be busy with the treasure, and he has to think of a way to not be affected by Utejin Khan's arrival. We don't have to do anything. He will naturally let this matter pass quickly. "
Qin Yining nodded and yawned while leaning on Pang Xiao's shoulder.
Pang Xiao smiled. "Are you sleepy? It's getting late. Quickly ask them to help you change and then go to bed. I can't stay for long, so I'll be going back now. "
Qin Yining felt a lot more energized by the cold clothes on his shoulder. He smiled and said: "Okay, quickly go back. Remember to soak in hot water and eat a bowl of ginger soup."
"I know. I'll pick you up tomorrow. Have a good sleep. We'll go home tomorrow."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded heavily.
The two held hands and reluctantly said goodbye. They didn't want to separate, but thinking that Qin Yining could go home tomorrow, their mood relaxed a lot.
After Pang Xiao left, Qin Yining changed his clothes and had a good night's sleep.
The next day, he followed the Empress to eat vegetarian food and pray as usual.
In the afternoon, Qin Yining and Concubine Zhuang were kneeling behind the Empress. Outside the temple, Nurse Sun softly said: "Niangniang, Prince Zhongshun requests an audience."
The Empress suddenly opened her eyes. She tightly gripped the prayer beads in her hand. She was strangely nervous.
She hadn't done anything wrong to Pang Xiao, but she knew such a big secret and couldn't tell him directly. She felt a bit guilty.
After calming her emotions, the Empress slowly said: "Invite him to the front hall." Then she kowtowed and stood. She smiled at Qin Yining and said, "Since Wang Ye has come, Wang Fei should accompany ben gong."
"Yes." Qin Yining respectfully responded and followed the Empress out of the temple.
Concubine Zhuang respectfully stood in the corner with her head bowed. Only when the two left did she slowly raise her head.
She gently bit her lower lip with her teeth, her eyes full of resentment.
She had clearly told the Empress what had happened, but the Empress had been indifferent. What was the use of only calling the Qin Clan to her side? Her Bian Family's daughter had been wronged. Was it only enough for the Qin Clan to eat vegetarian food and pray for a few days? If the Empress couldn't stand up for them, who would the Bian Family's daughter complain to?
If it was in the past, Concubine Zhuang would be cautious. If she could avoid the Empress, she would try her best not to. Today, after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and followed them.
Prince Zhongshun had come. She really wanted to know how the Empress planned to deal with the Qin Clan.
In the front hall, as soon as the Empress entered, she saw Pang Xiao's back. He was wearing a dark blue shirt with arrow sleeves, standing with his hands behind his back. He was tall, with a narrow waist and broad shoulders. When he calmly stood, his back was as straight as a javelin. It seemed like there was moonlight flowing around his body. He was so cold that people couldn't look at him directly and didn't dare to approach him.
The Empress stopped for a moment.
Sun mama loudly announced: "The Empress has arrived."
Hearing this, Pang Xiao turned around. His eyes were like cold stars as he looked over.
"Empress." Pang Xiao bowed.
The Empress smiled: "No need for formalities. Why have you come today? "
As she spoke, the Empress had already sat down at the head of the table.
