Chapter 43 Assassination

Seeing that she stopped talking, Tang Youyou spoke up again. "If anyone here has any dissatisfaction with the punishment I've given, you can voice it out now."

After waiting for a long time, everyone present kept silent.

Tang Youyou then dismissed the crowd in front of her. In an instant, the once-crowded Liangqing Palace was left with only her and Rong Xun. Seeing that Rong Xun had no intention of leaving, Tang Youyou was slightly taken aback.

She watched as Rong Xun closed his eyes gently and asked softly, "Your Majesty, if you're tired, you'd better go back and rest first."

Hearing this, Rong Xun looked at Tang Youyou seriously. Seeing her calm attitude, he was once again amazed by her.

"My lady, your husband is really tired. I'll just reluctantly rest here with you."

As soon as he said this, Tang Youyou's eyes widened instantly.

What? If he stayed here, wouldn't she be left homeless?

Thinking of this, she finally couldn't help but say, "You're determined not to leave today, aren't you?"

Rong Xun immediately nodded. Seeing Tang Youyou's angry face, he felt even more delighted. "You'er, what did you go to Lotus Dock for the other day?"

Tang Youyou was startled. Her face suddenly turned cold, and she calmly replied, "I've already explained this matter, Your Majesty should know the reason."

However, upon hearing this, Rong Xun slightly raised his eyes and said unhurriedly, "What if my lady went there for someone else?"

These words made her heart tighten again. Could it be that Rong Jiangyu's strange behavior that day was because he had been secretly spying on her?

It turned out that he had never trusted her from the very beginning.

"I just went to visit a friend. Your Majesty should remember that there's a madman in the Mingzheng Palace."

When she mentioned the madman, there seemed to be ripples in Rong Xun's eyes. It was obvious that he was very sensitive about this person.

In the plot, there were many conflicts between Rong Xun and Rong Jiangyu, and their relationship was not good. If she and Rong Xun were to quarrel over Rong Jiangyu at this stage, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Her words made Rong Xun's face turn even colder. He looked at Tang Youyou with a faint smile, which made Tang Youyou take a step back and avoid his gaze.

"Your Majesty, if you have any other questions..."

Suddenly, a long arrow whistled through the air. Tang Youyou felt dizzy. In an instant, Rong Xun, who was originally opposite her, switched positions with her.

The next second, Rong Xun looked at Tang Youyou. Seeing that she was unharmed, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth. But in just a moment, Rong Xun finally collapsed on the ground.

At the same time, Tang Youyou noticed the arrow sticking out of Rong Xun's back. The blood had soaked through his golden dragon robe, leaving a large red stain.

Rong Xun still remained expressionless, as if the seriously injured person was not him.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Tang Youyou panicked and was at a loss. Just as she was about to call for the imperial physician, she felt her wrist being tightly grasped by Rong Xun.

He whispered weakly, "Don't make a big deal out of this."

Hearing this, Tang Youyou understood what Rong Xun meant. But for now, the most important thing was to treat him.

"I'll just say that I'm not feeling well today and have been vomiting non-stop. I'll ask the imperial physician to take a look at me. How about that?"

Before she could finish her words, Rong Xun's vision went black, and he fell into a coma.

At the same time, the hidden death warriors had captured all the rebels. Before Tang Youyou could even ask a question, these people all committed suicide in an instant.

Seeing this, the death warriors were already used to it.

After all, the Great Ming Kingdom had just stabilized, so it was inevitable that there were still some rebels.

Not long after, the death warriors under Rong Xun had cleaned up everyone in the palace.

Tang Youyou immediately summoned Kang Fuhai.

"Kang Fuhai, go and invite the imperial physician now. Just say that I'm not feeling well. Remember, you must be quick!"

After saying this, Kang Fuhai rushed away.

Finally, the imperial physician arrived. Only then did Tang Youyou notice that Rong Xun's face had turned ashen.

She hurriedly led the imperial physician into the bedroom and urged, "Hurry up and see if His Majesty is okay!"

Hearing this, the imperial physician immediately bent over to feel Rong Xun's pulse. After a while, he picked up a red-hot short dagger and gently cut open Rong Xun's back. He carefully removed the arrow buried in his body.

The moment the arrow was pulled out, Rong Xun's back was bleeding profusely. It was a shocking sight.

Tang Youyou stood on one side, assisting the imperial physician. Seeing the imperial physician constantly using the best medicinal materials, her heart panicked again.

"Imperial physician, how is His Majesty's condition now?"

Hearing this, the imperial physician sighed slightly and said calmly, "Your Majesty's condition is not serious for now. Your Majesty the Queen doesn't need to worry too much. It's just..."

Tang Youyou quickly asked, "Just what?"

"Your Majesty is currently weak and is very prone to catching a cold and getting sick. Therefore, he needs someone to take good care of him."

After saying this, Tang Youyou's eyes showed a deep meaning, and she finally showed a hint of a smile. "It doesn't matter. I'll take care of him myself."

When she said this, Tang Youyou was also a little surprised. She didn't know when she had started to care so much about Rong Xun.

Seeing that Rong Xun was out of danger, the imperial physician simply explained some precautions and then packed up his things and left.

In the huge palace, Tang Youyou stood quietly by the bedside, looking at the unconscious man on the bed.

He was really good-looking, good-looking enough to charm thousands of girls. But in the plot, he was a man who was ruthless only towards her.

Thinking of this, Tang Youyou's back was covered in cold sweat. If she continued to stay here, she might really lose her life.

Just as she was thinking about this, Rong Xun, who had been in a coma, slowly woke up. He saw Tang Youyou deep in thought and felt that this incident must have scared her.

He said, "Today's incident was just because of some rebels. It's your husband's fault that I didn't protect you well. In the future, your husband will never let such a thing happen again."

Hearing what he said, although Tang Youyou was even more confused, she smiled and said, "It's okay. Thank you for saving me today."

Rong Xun struggled to raise his big hand and gently stroked her fluffy hair. If it were on a normal day, Tang Youyou would probably have exploded with anger. But today, she was surprisingly quiet.

Tang Youyou's reaction also made him feel happy. Rong Xun showed a faint smile and said gently, "I'm your husband. How can a husband not take care of his own wife?"

Hearing this, Tang Youyou smiled and said, "You're in such a state, yet you can still joke. That assassin should have stabbed you harder just now."

However, when she said this, she didn't notice that her tone had changed, and her attitude towards Rong Xun had also subtly changed.
