Hearing this, Tang Youyou suddenly leaned back on the bed. Although she looked pale and weak, she was secretly delighted. With this person's arrival, she could finally escape from Rong Xun and leave freely.
Seeing Tang Youyou like this, Wen Ruxue first lowered her head guiltily, then took a deep breath and calmly said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is suffering from a mental illness caused by depression."
Depression-induced illness? Isn't this pure nonsense? Hearing such a diagnosis, Tang Youyou had already cursed this person thousands of times in her heart.
It seemed that Wen Ruxue's visit to the palace this time was also for some ulterior motive. Seeing patients was just a desperate excuse. More importantly, her real intention lay elsewhere.
Hearing Wen Ruxue's diagnosis, Rong Xun was skeptical. If it was fear, he might believe it, but depression-induced illness was really strange. Could it be that not having sexual intercourse with her made her feel depressed? It was not impossible.
He said, "According to what you said, how should the Queen's illness be treated?"
Hearing this, Wen Ruxue instantly let out a sigh of relief. Her gamble had paid off.
"The Queen's condition is complex. A mental illness requires a mental cure. Medicine is only auxiliary. Only when the Queen can get rid of her inner demons can she recover."
The person on the bed was so angry that she was speechless. Listening to this person's serious nonsense, she really regarded her as a "guinea pig".
However, the current plan was to let these two people get in touch. She was the link between them. So, Tang Youyou had to keep silent and acquiesce to this white lotus's remarks.
Rong Xun seemed to understand but not really. He turned to look at Tang Youyou on the bed, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Then I'll leave the treatment of the Queen's illness to you. If you can't cure her within a month, you don't need to stay alive."
A month? This had nothing to do with her. It was this woman who was seeking her own death and had to use this method to climb to power! Plot, open your eyes and see clearly. It had nothing to do with her, Tang Youyou!
Tang Youyou closed her eyes tightly. Although she looked calm, her heart was actually in a complete mess and hard to calm down.
"I, a commoner, will surely do my best to follow the imperial edict."
After Wen Ruxue finished speaking, Xiaodengzi also noticed Rong Xun's fatigue and quietly reminded him, "Your Majesty, you haven't had a rest for a whole day and night in order to take care of the Queen. Your Majesty might as well go back to the Yangxin Hall to rest first. I'll watch over here."
Hearing this, Rong Xun gently rubbed his forehead. Indeed, he hadn't closed his eyes all night and was a bit tired. Then he turned to look at the "sleeping" Tang Youyou and gave her a deep kiss.
This kiss was very warm, making her heart flutter.
But in Wen Ruxue's eyes, it was unbearable.
For a moment, Tang Youyou was a bit reluctant to let Rong Xun leave. When he was about to go, she couldn't help but grab his big hand.
Rong Xun's hand was strong and powerful, but also gentle and warm, making her reluctant to let go.
"Rong Xun..." Tang Youyou called out hoarsely, which also made her stunned for a moment.
Hearing such a delicate voice, Rong Xun paused slightly, then rarely showed a smile and said, "You should take good care of your illness first. We'll take our time with the rest..."
This instantly broke Tang Youyou's original mood. Frightened, she quickly let go of her small hand and got into the quilt.
I have to say that Tang Youyou's action pleased Rong Xun.
After Rong Xun left, only Xiaodengzi and Wen Ruxue were left in the Qingliang Hall. But every time Tang Youyou thought of the plot in the book, she couldn't help shivering.
Leaving such a person by her side was like putting a time bomb next to her.
"Xiaodengzi, Xiaodengzi? You stay here to serve alone. Let the others retreat."
Hearing this, Xiaodengzi immediately turned around and made a "please" gesture to Wen Ruxue, saying, "Miss Wen, please go back first. As for your residence, the people in the Palace of Gathered Elegance have already arranged it properly. You can come back when the Queen summons you."
Wen Ruxue was also a sensible person. After nodding slightly, she quickly left.
But in order to sever her relationship with Rong Xun, Tang Youyou still gave Xiaodengzi a few more instructions. "In the palace, you must take good care of this Miss Wen. Try your best to meet all her requests. Don't let her be wronged."
Xiaodengzi was slightly stunned at first, then had to nod and reply, "Yes, I'll follow the order."
From then on, a strange scene appeared in the palace.
In the imperial garden, beside the lotus pond.
The Queen was nowhere to be seen, but Wen Ruxue was dressed in a white dress, looking as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water. Every frown and smile of hers was dignified and elegant, as if... she was the mistress of the harem.
The servants beside the pond served her well, and there were also many gossips among them.
"Look, is this woman the Emperor's new favorite?"
"Seems so. There hasn't been a new face in the palace for a long time. Maybe the Emperor has decided to expand the harem."
"This Miss Wen is really beautiful, but compared with the Queen, she pales in comparison."
Eunuch Kang was behind them and heard everything they said clearly. Hearing this, he angrily said, "How can the Queen be compared with others? The Queen is the mother of the country, with peerless beauty. She is like the brilliance of the sun and the moon. How can she be compared with the light of a candle!"
After being lectured by Eunuch Kang, the maids immediately shut their mouths, and the imperial garden became a bit quieter.
However, speaking of it, the Queen was really too kind to this Miss Wen. Although he was just an official in the Palace of Gathered Elegance, he could clearly see the intrigues among women.
Then, he quickly walked into the Qingliang Hall and loudly said at the door, "Your Majesty, your servant Kang Fuhai requests an audience."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou, who was busy gorging herself inside, immediately hid the roast chicken, lay back on the bed again, and looked at the door with a weak face. "Eunuch Kang, come in."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Kang Fuhai entered the door, he smelled a faint fragrance of meat. It seemed to be the beggar's chicken from in front of the Nanyang Prince's Mansion.
For a moment, he seemed to understand something, but Kang Fuhai didn't point it out. Instead, he seriously said, "Your Majesty has been suffering from a mental illness recently. Your servant is worried, so I've come to visit you."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou sneered in her heart. This person couldn't have come just to inquire. He probably had something to ask.
"I'm grateful for Eunuch Kang's concern. I've been in poor health recently, and I've only improved a bit under Miss Wen's care."
Hearing this, Kang Fuhai frowned tightly. He looked at the servants in the hall and hesitated to speak.
Tang Youyou wasn't stupid. She slightly raised her small hand, and the people in the hall quickly left.
She looked up at this person, exuding a regal aura in every gesture. "Does Eunuch Kang have something important to say?"
Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Your servant can't bear to see Miss Wen climb to power on Your Majesty's back. Please be sure to guard against this woman."
