"Come on, stop pretending to mourn. I'm not dead yet. I'll be there in a minute." Tang Youyou said with a look of disgust. Then she turned around, casually grabbed a cape, and rushed towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a hurry.
The little eunuch, who hadn't reacted yet, quickly knelt on the ground, his nose and eyes streaming with excitement. "Thank you, Empress, for saving my life!"
Tang Youyou cursed inwardly: Anyway, what's coming will come, and what must be faced has to be faced. The plot just keeps going without a pause.
As soon as she arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she saw the maids lined up neatly at the door, each carrying a bucket, filing into the hall one by one.
The old maid, who had been gossiping just now, immediately greeted Tang Youyou with a smiling face when she saw her standing there in a daze. "Oh, greetings to the Empress. His Majesty is waiting for you inside."
Tang Youyou thought that the speed of this woman's mood change was faster than turning a page in a book.
Tang Youyou stepped into the main hall. What came into view was a misty bathing pool. The water in the pool was steaming hot, and the flower petals were floating on the surface, making the scene look like a fairyland.
She took a few more steps forward. The next moment, the main - hall door was suddenly locked, which made her shiver all over.
These servants were quite alert at this moment. They even knew how to prevent people from running away. She wondered what the hell this dog - emperor was up to.
She slowly approached the pool and saw that there was a person in it. Through the mist, she could see that the person in the pool had a devastatingly handsome face, and his well - built body in the water was even more alluring.
Rong Xun... What on earth was he up to this time?
"What do you want me for?"
Hearing her voice, Rong Xun turned around and looked at Tang Youyou. The two red dots on his chest were exposed, which instantly made Tang Youyou blush.
"Your Majesty, be decent... be decent!"
The next moment, Tang Youyou instantly covered her eyes with both hands, but still couldn't help peeping through the gap between her two fingers.
At this moment, Rong Xun actually stepped out of the pool, completely naked, with no clothes to cover his body. This figure, this waist, these abs...
It made her can't help thinking of a saying: Brother's waist is not a waist, but a deadly knife; brother's legs are not legs, but the spring water by the Seine River...
But at this moment, she didn't know that she was about to become someone's "prey".
Rong Xun walked towards Tang Youyou. He grabbed her waist with his big hand and gently pinched it. Tang Youyou's whole body went limp, and then she was instantly picked up horizontally.
Tang Youyou let out a shrill scream in fright. "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. How can you act like a lecher! Put your subject - wife down quickly!"
Hearing this, Rong Xun's smile reached the bottom of his eyes. Although he was the son of the emperor and the grandson of the royal family, after all, he was just a man. How could he "observe a vegetarian diet and pray to the Buddha" every day?
Seeing that he had no intention of letting go, Tang Youyou struggled frantically. The hairpins on her head shook, and even when she scratched his shoulder, he didn't let go at all.
"My lady, I am your husband. Isn't it natural for us to have marital relations? How can it be called lecherous?" He was neither angry nor annoyed, as calm as if he was doing something very ordinary.
Tang Youyou, who was placed on the dragon bed, was extremely frightened, afraid that she would lose her virginity the next moment.
She tightly grabbed the collar of her clothes, and her smart eyes kept turning. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and immediately looked into Rong Xun's eyes as he leaned over.
"Rong Xun, I haven't washed up yet. How can I share the same bed with you? After all, it's our first time in the boudoir. How can it be so hasty?"
Seeing her firm expression, Rong Xun fell into deep thought. After a moment, he nodded and said seriously, "My lady is right. Your husband will wash your body for you."
With that, this man stretched out his big hand and in the blink of an eye untied the collar of Tang Youyou's clothes. Then he picked her up around the waist again.
Ignoring the struggle of the person in his arms, Rong Xun stepped into the pool with her again. His big hand kept roaming on Tang Youyou's body, making her even more flustered.
While struggling, she seemed to touch something. She picked it up and hit Rong Xun hard on the back of his head. Then she panicked and pushed him into the water. Immediately afterwards, Rong Xun became quiet.
Tang Youyou thought this man was dead, so she quickly let go of her hand. She tentatively felt his nose and found that he was still breathing. He was still alive...
Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the unconscious Rong Xun, she turned around and went back to the dragon bed again, having a good sleep all night.
The next day, Rong Xun in the pool was woken up by the cold. Feeling the cold around him, he immediately got up. The sound of the splashing water instantly woke Tang Youyou on the bed.
In the distance, Rong Xun felt a sharp pain in his head. He casually touched the back of his head. Ouch...
It hurt even more.
Tang Youyou came over hearing the sound and pretended to be completely unaware. She said in surprise, "Your Majesty, have you been in the pool all night?"
Seeing Tang Youyou's surprised expression, Rong Xun was even more confused. He clearly came here to wash Tang Youyou's body, but now...
Seeing Rong Xun deep in thought, Tang Youyou took advantage of the situation. Frowning nervously, she said, "It seems that Your Majesty is over - worked with state affairs and has fallen ill. This is a big deal! It's a big deal related to the imperial heir! Your Majesty should recuperate well. Your subject - wife will come another day."
Before Rong Xun could say a word, Tang Youyou ran away. Back in the Hall of Coolness, she happily stretched her back. This time, she had successfully survived the disaster.
However, yesterday was just a lucky escape. If she was dragged there again today, it wouldn't be so easy.
After much thought, with her hands behind her back, she carried the gold, silver and jewels that Rong Xun had given her not long ago and walked towards the Inner Treasury.
In the Inner Treasury, the eunuchs were bustling around, each with a sad face and sighing.
Tang Youyou quietly approached the door of the Inner Treasury and quietly listened to the conversation of the eunuchs inside.
"Sigh, it's been five or six days. Except for the Empress' night of serving His Majesty, His Majesty hasn't touched any other women."
"Yes. If His Majesty continues like this, it will be difficult to produce an imperial heir..."
"Not long ago, all the maids sent to His Majesty's Hall of Mental Cultivation were stripped naked and thrown out. We really don't know what to do."
"Father - in - law, you're being too impatient. For these things, why don't we wait a bit? When His Majesty figures it out, we'll take care of it."
Cough, cough, cough...
A cough came from the door, which made the eunuchs and maids in the treasury change their expressions greatly. They looked at the door in panic and saw Tang Youyou striding in in gorgeous clothes.
"Empress, what brings you here?"
Eunuch Kang, the leader, said coyly, pinching his little finger and speaking in a high - pitched voice.
This was the first time Tang Youyou had seen a eunuch in a proper way, so she took a few more curious glances.
"Eunuch Kang is in good spirits. I didn't expect you to be able to gossip so much in the treasury." Tang Youyou deliberately put on airs and said seriously.
"Oh, Empress, you're flattering this servant too much..."
